[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Moffe11:
For some reason ever since the latest update, my music player app JetAudio started crashing (?) on me whenever i back out of another app. So does the Kik Messenger app and thats a major problem because i don't get any notifications unless i open it once every 5 minutes or something because it (idk maybe) crashes in the background.

I don't know if there are any other apps that does the same thing. I have already already made a hard reset and the problem is still there.

Anybody have a solution? I'm starting to loose my cool because of this, i can't do sh*t when listening to music without the app crashing anymore.

IMO the easiest way to root your device is flashing CF-AutoRoot from Chainfire.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zaky7:
This is the one that got my phone to brick :(
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] It_ler:
And you have followed the installation instructions?

- Downloaded the correct CF-AutoRoot file for your device model

- Turned off the phone completely (no restart)

- Booted into download mode

- Started Odin (recent version for Windows PC)

- Set CF-AutoRoot file into AP section of Odin

- Connected the phone with the original USB cable to the PC

- Waited for the COM box in Oduin to get blue

- Started flashing the CF-AutoRoot file (without Automatic reboot option)

- Disconnected the phone from USB/PC

- Turned off the phone completely (by long pressing POWER button)

- Then booted into system

If yes and still not working, you may have to flash latest TWRP recovery (in the same way like described above) ... and then install SuperSU zip file from Chainfire in TWRP recovery.

That should work in any case.

S5 Lollipop 5.0 bricked out of nowhere

So after owning my phone for nearly 1 year (would be in 2 days..), it just bricked on me today out of nowhere. I just noticed the screen went out and thought it's the battery.

Basically:

taking out the battery and putting it back in after some time doesn't work.

charging it with a wall charger doesn't work. The LED doesn't light up and the battery doesn't get warm at all.

phone won't do anything with any combination of keys (so no recovery..)

I haven't rooted the phone, it is (was..?) still Knox 0x0 and has the stock Android Lollipop 5.0 from Samsung, which was just delivered a few weeks ago in Germany (don't know which version exactly, but should be something like 5.0.2.. the one with fixed Stagefright).

The only thing that is happening is, when I plug it into my computer. Windows tries (and actually managed) to install drivers for a device called "qhsusb_bulk". Google yields a possible brick (dead boot), which can probably be fixed. (See here or here ).

Now several questions arise: I've found people with a working Galaxy S5 and have a 16 GB sd card with me (the internal storage of my phone, don't know about the working S5 though..). Should both phones be on the exactly same version for this to work? Will it trigger my knox counter? Anything that I should take care of?

I bought the phone in Germany and usually also live there, but right now I'm not in Europe until January and probably can't get ahold of my warranty for this.. So any guidance from you guys? While I'm experienced with flashing other Android phones, I'm kind of scared to finally brick my (or the other) S5 now.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] It_ler:
I'm not quite sure what exactly you are going to do.

You can try to use the other S5's battery in your phone.

Just to check if your battery is out of power.

If yes, the USB port of your S5 might be corrupt.

If your phone doesn't boot with the other battery, your S5 might be bricked.

So what do you plan to do with the SD card?

Trying to transfer files from your S5 to the other one?

To access files from the internal storage, you need your phone to boot.

Files from the external SD card can be read by any other sd card compatible device capable to read the file system in which the card is formatted.

Model number: SM-G900T3

Android version: 5.1.1

Baseband version: G900T3UVU1FOG6

Knox version: 2.4

Hi, everyone.

So I just bought a new Galaxy S5 from TMobile. Having rooted and used an S3 with a custom ROM for the last few years, I was pretty excited to root and flash custom firmware onto the S5 as soon as I got it. I did all the research and was ready to get started -- except I ended up with a model number that I completely wasn't expecting and that I can't find adequate documentation for. I'm turning to you guys in hopes that you'll have the insight I'm lacking, as several hours of googling and searching through various forums have yielded next to nothing (I found ONE account of successfully rooting the G900T3, but that had FOF6, not FOG6). My current theory is that I can use Shiny's FOG6 method to at least get Cyanogenmod, but that is technically intended for G900T, not G900T3, and I'm a bit too much of a noob to know whether that makes a meaningful difference. Any advice would be really helpful, as I'd rather not brick it.

Thanks!

Can you return it for a regular/standard 900T?

---------- Post added at 02:12 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:04 PM ----------

Just googled for you and found a thread where it was rooted and CM ROM successfully flashed. LINK
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _neuropraxia_:
No, I can't return it. I've called literally every TMo store in my city - not only do they no longer have any in stock, they will not be getting any more ever. I also wouldn't be able to tell which model I'm getting upon purchase, anyway.

And yes, that's the exact post you'll notice I reference in my above post. FOF6, not FOG6. Thus my question. I found another instance of success here on XDA, but the guy never mentions how he does it - just that he managed it after hours of work. As I've said, I've already spent hours googling this.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jt1998:
ahh i see that now. Didn't notice at 1st glance it was the exact post. Well, if you can get a custom recovery installed and backup your existing ROM 1st, you should be ok to try, right??
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _neuropraxia_:
In theory, yes, but to be honest, I'm pretty noobish at this and am therefore a bit terrified of following a process that isn't exactly tailored to my model: I rooted and customized my old S3 on own, but it was just following a set of instructions to the letter. I'm great at googling, but not so great at actually understanding what's going on under the hood. I wouldn't know what is and isn't safe to attempt on my model. That's why I was thinking of following the ShinySide FOG6 method, but was hoping I could either get another suggestion or a nod of assurance that I won't brick it to hell immediately if I do that.

Thanks again for responding so quickly, by the way, and for not hating on my nooblet-ness. Everyone here is so friendly. :)
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jt1998:
YW. glad to help.

Well, I think since your model is so new, and now everyone's focused on Android 6.0 Marshmallow, it may be a while before you see things specific to that model. I understand the hesitation completely because a bricked device is no good to anyone. Just keep reading, googling, and hopefully it'll turn up soon. Hopefully, with the new 6.0 versions, maybe you'll see your model version pop up there before any lollipop ROMs.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _neuropraxia_:
Based on your understanding, do you have any reason to believe that bricking is likely to occur if I try ShinySide's FOG6 method? Someone elsewhere mentioned that development on the S5 is probably going to grind to a halt since the S6 is out, and while I'm fine with waiting, I wouldn't want to wait on something that had a very low chance of actually happening.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jt1998:
I would not think so as long as you have a custom recovery installed 1st. I say go for it but of course it's your device and you have all the risk.

You have to stick to the stock firmware and disable all apps that you don't really need ... and Samsung allows you to disable.

BTW ... BBS does not require a rooted device. But the interesting battery stats won't work without root.

And to remove the main battery drainers, you will most likely need root access.

Just posting this here for posterity, in case anyone in the future is encountering my earlier problem and wants a solution spelled out for them like I did:

I was successful in installing custom recovery, rooting, and flashing cyanogenmod onto my SM-G900T3. It can, in fact, be done with the previously discussed method:

1) Install Odin from here

2) Flash TWRP (acquired here) using Odin

-- You'll want the Samsung Galaxy S5 Qualcomm (klte) version (don't get scared like I did of the fact that it's Qualcomm - you'll be fine)

3) Use ShinySide's FOG6 method method to get root

4) Download and install the appropriate version of Cyanogenmod and GApps using TWRP (instructions here)

5) Profit

This has the strange effect of changing the model number on the "about device" page to SM-G900T, but otherwise, it works great. Special thanks to jt1998 for putting up with me and being reassuring of my nooby root attempts. <3
