Soft brick on my new Virgin Mobile Galaxy s5

Hey wondering if anyone can help with a problem I've run into.

This is the guide I used to help root my phone http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2737724

So got a Galaxy S5 (Virgin Mobile) for christmas. I did the system updates after activating it and went straight to this page (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2737724) to get it rooted. I followed all the steps to

the t but after using odin to install the CF auto root my phone reboots and says

"Recovery booting . . . .

Recovery Is Not Seandroid Enforcing

Set Warranty Bit : Recovery"

I've tried the different methods to get this to work already posted in the comments and I still arrive at the same problem. I've even just let it sit for an hr and still no luck.

Got any ideas on how I can fix my phone? I'd be very greatful!

Check the root guide thread. No need to double post my friend, just be patient, someone will get to you :) Merry Christmas, and good luck. Philz recovery is your friend!
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AuGmENTor:
Before you did any of this, here's hoping that a: you backed up (although if you got the phone today I don't know how much you could have to back up.) And that b: You downloaded the stock ROM for your device, so in the event that what happened to you... happened, you'd be able to Odin back to stock and start over. Of course, it's not too late for you to go and ahead and download the stock ROM for your device. Typically they're found on Sam Mobile. After that. YouTube search your model number and the words Odin back to stock and follow the steps in the video. After that try again. There are several methods. Try a different one if you think there's something wrong with the method you used the first time. I find videos easier to follow than reading. I am literally as dumb as a shoe, but I have rooted dozens of devices without incident using nothing but YouTube.

Soft bricked, I think =(

I was prepping to flash a new rom to my G900A from safestrap, I did a clean wipe and before installing the rom rebooted (I had put the wrong rom on my ext sd and powered down to take it out). First reboot it got stuck in the samsung logo, so I tried this guide. It failed and has been booting to the "Firmware upgrade encountered..." screen, I've even tried kies, but no luck. Can someone give me a hand? Or point me to the right place? I've searched around but no luck. Thanks =)

What's the easiest root for s5 active?
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adizz131:
Assist a newbie! :)

Hi all.

I rooted my G900I using this method - http://androidxda.com/root-samsung-galaxy-s5-sm-g900i and it worked fine (I have root).

However I plan to flash ROM's etc soon, so will need a recovery system.

I have looked at the Philz CWM recovery and that seems to be ok.

I think the one I need is this one - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2706253 (Anyone care to double check for me?? :) I have downloaded the philz_touch_6.57.8-klte.zip.md5 file )

So can I follow the steps on page 1 of this thread to install this? Or should I unroot, install Philz CWM, then re-root?

Also, how can I tell if my bootloader is locked?

Thanks in advance

Now as far as I know, knox is similar to a binary counter that used to be in older samsung devices, and gets triggered by flashing the wrong thing. When the knox counter gets tripped the only thing that happens is that your samsung warranty gets void because you've been messing with the stuff they didn't want you messing with. Rooting with towel root shouldn't trip your knox counter which you can check by going into download mode (power down, the power back up while holding volume down, home and power until you get to the warning screen). I haven't really heard about reactivation lock, I suppose it'd be a problem if it's on when you try to flash so I'd suggest just to make sure its off in the phone settings, and if you do manage to install lollipop tell me about it because I haven't figured it out yet, being new to this I have no Idea if im even flashing it right! haha. Then again maybe you shouldn't trust me much seeing the guy a couple posts above that just bricked his phone =). Trust the guide haha.

Thanks mate. I managed to root the device and have updated my post above.

Can you please take another look at my post and give some advice? :)
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leonardorh:
Nice you are rooted! As for the other things they're a little bit beyond my knowledge, but if I had to take a GUESS, I'd say that judging by your rooting method your boot loader isn't locked and flashing the recovery after the root wouldn't do any harm, but I am not 100% certain of this and you should probably wait for someone a little more experienced to reply.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrThreeChains:
Hi, i just got my Galaxy S5. Somehow i had some charging problems and after it had contact problems and constantly showing "Connected" - "Not Connected" it completly stopped working when i installed Lollipop. I sent it to a repair center and they swapped the charging port and installed KitKat Stock firmware again. Charging now worked, but after some days the error came back again. I reinstalled KitKat via Odin again and now its charging normally. But i know this error will come again and i have no idea how this is possible.

No matter which firmware i got:

- When plugging in the charger while Android is shut down, it shows a battery with a yellow warning symbol. But the phone everytime detects when the charger is plugged in even if its not charging (when Android is running, it doesnt even shows the charger is connected)

- Connection in Download mode via Odin 100% working without any disconnection problems

What the hell is the problem when its not hardware-side and works when i reinstall KitKat?

28 days left

To return my G-900a. I have been reading through these treads for what about 2 hours now, and I can't seem to find anyway to root my S5 (ATT).

Towelroot won't work and I can't find anything on Chainfire's site that looks like its for my phone, (unless the 900az will work?)

I admit I didn't do my homework before I bought the thing, I just assumed somebody would have a reliable way of doing it by now. I don't think i can

live with a stock ROM and bloated phone. Should I return it, or am I not looking where I need to be?

Thankyou... I looked at that thread.

There are firmwares.

But may be if you could tell me if i can directly download one and install through recovery on my fone coz i dont have a pc for now...

[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] It_ler:
Stock firmwares come as odin flashable tar files.

If you download the stock firmware and it's a zip, you have to extract it to get the tat file.

Basically you can flash stock firmwares in mobile odin app. .. if your phone is already rooted.

But mobile odin won't flash some parts of a firmware; such as bootloader and modem.

So if you need those parts also, you have to flash it with pc version of Odin.

Coming from Kitkat and flashing Lollipop you should flash with pc version of Odin.

hi,

i've recently purchased the galaxy S5 (g900f), but it is vodafone uk branded.

Could you please advise on the easiest process to unbrand the phone & install the latest UK Stock Rom (i think its v4.4.2)?. The firmwares found so far don't end with BTU, from what my understanding the firmware must be BTU.

I am happy to receive the lollipop update via OTA once available in the UK.

Please bear in mind that this will be my first attempt to root any phone & install the latest firmware, and i'm nervous as i don't want to break the phone.

thanks for your help in advance,

Hi all, first time posting in the forums here. I can usually find the info I need but I'm having a difficult time trying to find support for my S5 Active.

I recently installed the DynamicKat rom (awesome btw) and attempted to install Kali Linux again on my device.

How annoying is the waterproof charging cover?

I'm looking for a replacement to my gs4, and I'm concerned about the charging door on the gs5. I use my phone a lot (video news in the morning, waze maps on the commute, videos and podcasts through the day, waze home, camera in the evenings with the family).

[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gatorhater73:
At first it might, but the first time you take it somewhere you couldn't take your S4 because it's waterproof, you'll be happy it's there. I hardly even notice it anymore, it's just a quick step to close it after you unplug it. I spilled a full glass of water all over my phone the other day and didn't have any issues at all, so I'm a BIG fan of the charging cover.
