Oh and I have question Can I flash via flashfire other ROM and still stay knox0x0 or only ALEXANDR ROM just made it?
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Many40:
Not sure because I haven't tested flashing different roms with flashfire but I heard that not all zip rom packages can be successfully flashed with this tool. So IMO safer would be to use Alexandr rom which is compatible.

[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mr. Robot:
Which version? I see 2 download links in the official thread.

I see at v9 you have to update bootloader & modem. Does it affect my device? Can I go anytime back to stockrom if I do this? Can I brick my device flashing this?

Can I choose a TW UI design ? simple ? i don't want a custom theme (i think those colors look bad yellow etc)

I think this rom has too many things that I don't need. I want a simple stock based rom . Can you recommend me one? (/w fingerprint, stock camera etc) maybe omega rom ? or stock rom 4.4.2 (kitkat) - because the battery life is better than lolipop
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] It_ler:
If you flash a Lollipop ROM, you should also have LP bootloader and modem.

So I recommend to flash the corresponding BL and modem files along with the ROM ... if you don't have them already installed.

BTW ... latest AllianceROM version is V9.1.1 (available) either via Allicance Control app > ROM Updates after you have installed V9, or via AllianceROM homepage (link is in one of the first posts of the ROM thread).

There are many custom themes available of AllianceROM, as users can share their themes. I prefer Black Glass theme with "it_ler_v9.1" theme ;)

So you don't have to set every option available in Alliance Control app manually yourself.

If you want a simple TouchWiz ROM, there are many available in the S5 development forum ... I have no special preferences.

And at the end, only you can decide which one is best for you.

I'm getting myself a used S5 tomorrow (SM-G900W8) and I'm looking to dive head first into customizing it.

Looking around this forum it's a little overwhelming. Seems more complicated than my current Nexus 5 with all theses version numbers.

So first, does it come with a unlocked bootloader? Read that somewhere and not seeing any threads about unlocking it.

If so, looks like I just have to root and get TWRP on there. In these threads, I'm not seeing my Canadian model number listed. If it's good for T-mobile or AT&T then can I use it?

Hi mate, I tried allsorts and still can't get it to format.

I've tried diskpart in cmd prompt to confirm it's not read only and it seemed alright but nothing will change the card. Only thing that's happened now is the computer cannot read it anymore. When I plug it into my S5 it still shows everything is there but if I delete anything it comes straight back or if I add a folder or files they disappear after a few minutes.

Weird or what?!

Did you try accessing it with a Linux box? The main thing would be to copy your card contents somewhere. When SDs start causing me problems I save the data and then try to format the card. If I can't format it I get new card, new format and then copy my data back. Maybe you tried this - just trying to be helpful.

Sorry. A Linux box is a computer with Linux installed on it. My choice of disro (destrabution) is PClinux OS. D/L the iso, burn a CD and run it from the CD. It won't change your windows. It can read things windows can't and has a disk tool (have to be a little careful as you will see the windows partition on the hard drive). If you like it you can set up a dual boot. I've been using it for over 15 years for almost everything. It has a real strong help community.

Hello,

I have Samsung Galaxy S5 SM-G900F (SM-G900FXXU1POEC) which is not rooted.

Recently I have got 4G SIM here in India, but not able to connect to 4G Network.

Have LTE/WCDMA/GSM (auto connect) selected under Network Mode.

on the SIM part, I have tried using this SIM in another LTE compatible device and with it 4G works fine. So no problem with SIM or service provider it seems.

I have observed that here 4G works with LTE Band 40 (2300MHz) which is not supported by his version of phone. Is there a way to enable this band without rooting the phone?

a long way to CM12.1

Hi

I got a EU Galaxy S5, SM-G900F, klte, running that touch wiz thing from samsung, no changes since it was shipped.

Now i want cyanogen but i have no idea how to get it... im really not dumb, but i really dont get the procedure. i have read some guides ( wiki.cyanogenmod (Install_CM_for_klte), androidflagship (install-cyanogenmod-galaxy-s5), ibtimes (update-galaxy-s5-lte-android-5-0-2-cyanogenmod-12)) but i really dont want to brick my phone and i dont got the steps.

first i will make a list with the general steps. after that i will ask some questions.

1. Safe my Data (Pictures, Settings, Apps, Appdata)

2. Download Things

Heimdall Suite

CWM Recovery Thing: (i dont got that)

Google Apps: gapps-5.1-arm-2015-07-17-13-29.zip

Cyanogen Nightly: cm-12.1-20150909-NIGHTLY-klte.zip

3. Install Recovery

4. Install CM

is that procedure right?

I think im hanging on Step 3 and i need that recovery file to get further. I also dont know how to safe my Settings, Apps and Appdata.

I really feel like im the noobiest noob alive. goddamn, it cant be that hard to change the os, isnt it?

:(
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jt1998:
yes order is correct.

save things to external SD card, or online like Dropbox, etc.

between step 3 and 4, I would make sure to backup your entire current system/ROM/phone before installing new CM ROM, just in case things go bad.

for recovery, either use TWRP or Philz Recovery. Either will work fine for what you need.

Hey all,

So recently I've been noticing that my S5 (GM-900V) is turning itself off in my pocket. It has been happening more and more often and now it is stuck in a boot loop. The only way I can get past the Samsung screen is if I leave my battery out for 15-20 mins. Even then, the phone turns off and boot loops after about a minute of use.

I've tried flashing to the most recent stock firmware and can now hear the startup sound, but I have no display. Taking the battery out gets me back to the same old boot loop. I should mention that I've factory reset and wiped cache.

[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tsktsk:
Hi,

I'm going crazy trying to root my new S5.

First thing I tried was CF-autoroot for SM-G900F kltedx. When the phone rebooted into recovery mode, there was samsung logo with a warning "recovery is not seandroid enforcing". It prevented any further action (including opening recovery menus). Everytime I tried to reboot, the phone displayed the same warning, making impossible to correctly boot the device.

I retook control of the phone by flashing the philz recovery. The phone rebooted normally, but without root (and without accessible recovery!).

Then I tried cwm, philz, twrp but none of them worked (same seandroid warning). Only stock recovery correctly flashes and boots.

What is the problem? I'm quite desperate at the moment

Thaks a lot for your help

Sorry if this has been discussed I have been searching for hours I had rooted my phone with odin and cf autoroot all was good checked with root checker and had root access then I decided I wanted a custom Rom well my phone had a lot of junk so I decided to factory reset my phone b4 I flashed a custom Rom so I did that then realized I no longer had root access so I thought OK I'll just re root .

[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AuGmENTor:
I could be wrong, but I believe custom ROMs provide root access by default. So if you flash a recovery and ROM, you should have root. Root on stock ROMs is nice for debloating and stuff, and that I believe is the purpose of something like CF autoroot.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] calandlor:
OK but why isn't it giving me root access now the first time it worked right away and when flashing custom Roms is that done on the device it self with a special recovery loader
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AuGmENTor:
I honestly couldn't tell you. You flash custom recovery through Odin, then the ROM is copied to the root of your sd ( by you) card and flashed from within the custom recovery (power up phone using volume up+home+power)

I have the G900F and first time I am rooting, tried to install xtrestolite.

first round was successful with no problem at all, this is what I've done:

1: rooted the phone with CF-Auto-Root-klte-kltexx-smg900f

2: Installed philz touch

3: Bootloader and Modem G900F-LP-XXU1BOD3-BOOTLOADER.tar & G900F-LP-XXU1BOD3-MODEM.tar

4: wiped cache/factory reset/dalvik cache

5: Installed the ROM

all good, now let's start with the troubles.

I have noticed that the phone was full of old folders like whatsapp etc. and as a proper NOOB I went back to philz and selected 'wipe user media'. :D This has deleted all the system folders too.

Trying to to rebuild the system folders I tried to select from philz "format / boot" :D

From this point no matter how many times i tried to repeat all the steps from scratch, at the end of the installation the logo is on loop

Hi,

I rooted my Galaxy S5 SM-G901F yesterday with CF Auto Root. It all worked out so far. Odin showed me the green "Pass" and I checked with "Root Checker" if the root worked. It really worked.

SuperSu wanted to do a binary update which failed everytime and a couple of minutes later my device started to reboot on its own again and again. I did a factory reset which stoped the rebooting but if I now check with "Root Checker" it says "Sorry! Root Access is not properly installed on this device."

SuperSu still wants to update the binary. Will the root be reenabled if the binary of SuperSu is updated? If yes how can I do this? Or did I **** up? :(

Is there still a way to get the device rooted?
