Hi all,

How can I upgrade my modem in my Samsung Galaxy s5 - sm-g900i (Australian version).

I'm using lineage os and would prefer not to uninstall this.

I've downloaded the latest firmware from sammobile - https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/galaxy-s5/SM-G900I/XSA/download/G900IDVU1CQD1/130638/

What I haven't been able to find is a tutorial to actually install the modem on the phone.

Any help would be appreciated. I was hoping to this this from TWRP.

Thank you.

And see the Clean Install or Dirty Flashing section on the first page, second comment. Although for a different phone, the same principle applies and you won't need to reinstall your ROM either.

You will have the latest bootloader and modem installed with ease!

You have to flash a custom recovery with Odin first.

If you have one of the klte versions, you can use e.g. PhilZ-touch (CWM) recovery.

(But there are more custom recoveries available for different S5 variants.)

Hotspot quick setting glitch

Verizon S5 DE: I have the data plan that includes tethering, so I don't need any hacks for the hotspot. If I try to turn on the hotspot with the quick settings tile, it starts, then shuts off. I also have the halfbit Quick Settings app on the home screen (legacy from a Droid, but I still use it) and I get the same behavior on the hotspot toggle in that. But if I go into the main Settings=>More Networks=>Mobile Hotspot and turn on the hotspot there, it comes on and stays on.

I want to think it's the same toggles in both places, but obviously something's different between them.

Any ideas?

Hi J0shimi,

Just another question - I've downloaded the latest firmware file from sammobile.

I've created a tar archive and have added the .mbn and .bin files to the tar archive as per instructions.

The next steps is to

Enable (only) these options: 'Auto Reboot' and 'F. Reset Time',

put the phone into download mode and flash.

I think I will end up doing this on a Windows PC with Odin.

I have a single tar file with the bootloader and modem files.

Will I then add this to the bootloader button, or should I seperate the modem and the bootloader into 2 seperate files and add the modem elsewhere?

Thank you. Still a bit confused and am super cautious about wanting to avoid bricking my device.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] J0shimi:
One TAR file with only the bin and mbn files is all you need. Even If you made a mistake, at very worst you can install full sammobile ROM and then start over but as long as you followed the instructions you will be absolutely fine.

Im planning to buy a new smartphone and this phone was one of my choices.. Is this still a great phone even in 2017? What are the pros and cons about the device?

Also how's the battery life?
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FNetV1:
As a (New to me) Galaxy S5 G900P user, I can tell you that this phone is very fast, it has 2 GB of RAM and 16 GB of internal storage and supports up to 128 GB of Micro SD card.

So, the pros are:

* Has a Quad core CPU so you can have a decent performance

* Has 2 GB of RAM. Coming from the Motorola G3 2015 which was my previous phone that only had 1 GB of RAM I can tell you that extra GB of RAM the Galaxy S5 has really do helps when I open lots and LOTS of chrome tabs among other things.

* Has a Micro SD card slot that allows you to insert a micro SD card of capacity of up to 128 GB of ExFAT formatted Micro SD card storage capacity. If in the future 128 GB isn't enough for you you can format, say a 256 GB or even 512 GB SD card as Fat32 and your (and any other) device should take it just fine.

The Cons:

* It has a 2 GB of RAM when most new devices are shipping with 3+ GB of RAM. In my opinion 2 GB is more than enough and you can keep an eye on the task manager if you have lots of apps running in the background.

* It only has an internal storage of 16 GB. But this can be supplemented by a large 128 GB Micro SD card and you can even format that as an Internal Storage but I would prefer to keep my portability of my SD card instead of encrypting it and only make it readable to the current device/ROM.

* Can't think of any other con's at the moment.

My Sprint Galaxy S5 is working beautifully, I am currently running an AOSP Marshmallow ROM and do have my stock Lollipop rom saved in a "Nandroid" backup. I believe there is a Nougat custom rom for this phone as well but I have yet to know of its stability since I haven't tried that yet, but I can tell you that AOSP MM rom I am running is extrememely stable and fast, faster than the TouchWiz based stock ROM.

As a side note: If you decide to use the phone's stock rom, and never root it, it should function fast too. Out of the box this phone performs really well, but if you do install TWRP recovery and install a custom AOSP rom such as the Marshmallow I am running then its much faster.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lucius100:
What is your custom rom? :confused:
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FNetV1:
My custom rom is: ResurrectionRemix-M-v5.7.4 (for the kltespr which is code word for the SM-G900P or the Sprint Samsung Galaxy S5)

The xda thread for the ROM can be found at:

https://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s5/unified-development/rom-ressurrection-remix-mm-t3275340

You would click the link for: kltespr which takes you to the following page:

http://resurrectionremix.fandroid.net/klte/20161121/kltespr/

You would download:

ResurrectionRemix-M-v5.7.4-20161121-kltespr.zip

and that's your ROM.

This will give you Marshmallow AOSP.

Prerequisite:

Make sure your phone is already activated with Sprint or your Sprint MVNO (FreedomPop, Ting, etc) through the stock TouchWiz based ROM before you install the ROM. This ROM is AOSP based.

Be sure to perform a full Nandroid backup through TWRP to your Micro SD card.

Be sure to also perform any other applicable backups such as backing up your S Notes and copying and pasting those notes into Google KEEPS.

Be sure you have properly synched all your contacts or export them to your Micro SD Card.

Anything else inside the Internal Storage you dont wish to lose back them up too.

Notes: There are many other ROM's for your phone, including that gives you NOUGAT (Android 7.1.1) instead of the Marshmallow ( 6.1) that I am currently running and the one I have linked here. The Marshmallow Rom is super stable, but I Have not tested the Nougat ROM, not all roms are super stable, but you can feel free to try them out if you like.

everything works right? any bug?

I heard u can unlock the phone by swiping without turn the screen on, or need any mod?
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FNetV1:
Everything has been working so far, no bug that I have found, nothing is "force closing", camera works fully, can take pictures and record videos just fine either in portrait or vertically. I can browse the internet (using Chrome), I can open up many many tabs, again no problem.

To unlock the screen you have to power on the screen by pressing the power button, then you have to swipe up if you have a passcode or a pin as your password, or simply swipe up if you have set no password. Alternatively you can turn on the screen by pressing the home button, it does the same as pressing the power button. But it is not possible to swipe up if the screen is dark, and you dont press either the power button or the home button to wake up the phone and power up the LCD.

Maybe there is a mod to wake up the screen without having to press either the power button or the home screen but I haven't done any research on that part as the way this ROM is operating has been sufficient for me.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lucius100:
the fingerprint scanner works right? I dont know u mean swipe the screen or the fingerprint lol. I saw many people can unlock it by swiping the scanner only. I guess it need mod and not included in RR?
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FNetV1:
I have never used the fingerprint scanner ever, so I dont know. I will have to perform tests later on before I can tell you if the fingerprint scanner works or not.

By "Swipe up the screen" I mean that after you either press the power button or the home button you will have to swipe up the screen in order to be shown the passcode/pin interface for you to type in your password or pin if you have any, or to simply login and be sent to your home screen. In my case, I have a PIN as mypassword (a series of numbers), I press either the power button or the home button to wake up the phone which turns the screen, there I see a gray screen with the time in the center top, in the lower bottom I see a small lock, I have to swipe up the screen and then I can enter my PIN, then I get sent to the home screen.

Generally WIFI is managed by the kernel as it contains WIFI drivers.

Start with factory reset if you didn't do that. If it doesn't help flash again a stock rom with full wipe. Make sure the rom is compatible with your phone model.

SM-G900F here, rooted and I was using 4.4.2 on it.

Backstory: Recently got stuck in a recovery bootloop, I managed saving my data by flashing TWRP and using the file manager to copy important files onto my micro SD card.

Wiped(factory reset) phone, and flashed 4.4.2 again. Phone was working fine for like a week.

Now: Yesterday it just stopped charging while it was turned on, it did just not react when I put the charger into it. Tried different chargers, all the same.

HOWEVER. When it is turned off, it reacts immediately to the charger by displaying the grey battery symbol with the flash in the middle of it. (Not the green charging battery with percantage symbol however). Then the screen turns off black and after a few seconds the battery symbol with the flash returns again. This repeats itself forever. It fails to charge. The battery itself is not the problem, already bought a new one and it does not change anything. The cable is not the problem either, so it must be something weird software related.

I tried wiping everything and flashing 6.0.1 on the phone, it works, but I still can't charge and use the phone. I tried flashing the CF-Auto-Root file as well. Nothing seems to help atm.

When I enter into Download/Odin mode it shows:

PRODUCT NAME: SM-G900F

REACTIVATION LOCK: OFF
