I have a problem with the sounds my phone is giving. All sounds including 1st party(alarms etc., youtube, basically anything that produces sound.)

Produces only static sound or cracking sound. This event is also true on earphones...

What could be the possible cause of this?

I have rebooted and flash a new custom ROM to try to remedy this. I also am planning to update my firmware to try to fix this..
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] It_ler:
Even phone call's sound is "corrupt"?

Are you using any sound blaster/booster app to "optimize" the sound in any case? If yes, then disable/deactivate/uninstall this app, restart the phone and try again.

If flashing another firmware does not fix your sound issues, it may be caused by broken hardware (e.g. sound chip).

Anyway ... good luck !

How is this scenario possible?? Any help will be much appreciated.

I recently bought a galaxy s5 in Africa.

Soon after is when i realised the phone is modded, the recovery and bootloader say g900p but the settings say g900f, and it also accepts all the sim cards i insert to it, and after more tinkering, i realised that it was also rooted and i think the build.prop was edited.

Its currently running android 5.0.. i bought this phone for the sole purpose of installing kali nethunter using the Resurrection Remix 5.1.1, but i'm worried flashing the new rom would lock my phone to sprint(because i'd need to flash a g900p rom).

So my questions are,

1. As explained, hows is the current situation on my phone possible?? (If i was to recreate it)

2. Will flashing the RR rom and a g900f modem make it use international variant??

3. Can anyone give me any other option to the phone to 5.1.1 and accept all sim cards like it does now??

If any attachments needed, please ask, i will post..

Hey,

I have carrier unlocked G900W8 can I flash G900F stock rom on my phone from sammobile without bricking my phone?
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vincom:
odin will fail/error out when attempting flash, sim unlocked has no bearing on which rom/fw u flash. u should only use bl/mdm for your phone. ive only tried a couple of times to flash 900f fw onto my g900w8 but odin errors out, ymmv.

but you can flash custom 900f roms, or almost any s5 Qualcomm Msm8974ac based roms, just make sure you have bl/mdm combo for rom, usually from 6.0.1 based fw.

also custom roms install script might need editing to let it flash on g900w8 phones.

hardbrick is usually trying to flash bl/mdm/kernel not meant for your phone.

just do alot of reading b4 flashing.

I've run into a serious problem with my G900P. It seems to have stopped reading SIM cards, or something like that. I had installed LineageOS and it appeared to be working OK, but I rebooted earlier today and all of a sudden it started saying "No SIM Card", and I'm unable to connect to the network. I tried putting in a different SIM card that I know works and it couldn't detect that either. Does anybody know what could be happening?

[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] godofsalt:
When was the last time you had stock on there. They have change the baseband serval times this year alone.

The fix would be use Kies or smart switch on your pc to get the latest stock rom. ( at present it was a late February build I tink) only important thing is making sure we flash a stick Rom, rooted or not.

Sammobile does not have the latest package yet.

And yes, this will be time consuming, but will greatly help you in the future likegoing to LOS 14.1 (android 7.1.2)

Or any thing else.

Again I do hope this helps you out

[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Clorf:
I got it used a few days ago, so I assume it had the latest version on it. I switched to LineageOS because I use Telus, not Sprint, and there were annoying notifications about how it was perpetually trying to register itself with Sprint, but the instructions to get rid of that which came with it didn't work, probably because it had updated since they were written.

If it's an incompatibility it's strange that it seemed to be working at first. I rebooted several times with LOS beforehand without this happening.

I tried using Smart Switch but it told me it couldn't do anything for me because my device was unrecognized. I assume it needs to be on stock firmware to work, so my current plan is to use ODIN to flash the latest firmware on Sammobile and then try Smart Switch again to see if I can update to the latest version from there. Does that sound good?

APN / PRL question

I have a samsung galaxy s5 with a resurrection remix rom installed. Rooting this thing was a pita at first, but anyway its all set now. One thing that caused me a lot of undue annoyance and work was updating the prl. Is there a tool out there i dont know about that can handle this? It probably also doesnt help that i am a tello subscriber.

Also if it matters the rom i am using is a nougat rom.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TdiGuy:
Ya smart switch wont recognize a phone with aftermarket firmware on it.

If your phone is already active on the telus network you might simply have to edit the apn entries. Take a look online and see what the apn entry should be then in the phone go to more settings under cellular and see if there is a selection there for telus, if not add one save it then select it and it might fix you up.

Hi guys,

Two days ago, my phone has started showing no sim card detected, very slow shut down (samsung logo, and than only blue notification light and 2 lights right and left of home button) , and very hard battery drain ( drain increased about 300% ).

I used No Limits 6.1 xXx ROM and Boeffla kernel. I tried reinstall rom, tried to reinstall modem, tried to change recovery, modem, rom (to Phoenix v15) and still i got same results. (completely factory reset, wipe, cache, memory (TWRP 3.0.1 recovery used))

Days before, i used phone normal, phone calls, chatting, web browsing, and some little gaming.

Would it be possible to flash a g903f stock rom from sammobile on my sm-g903w?

I am so annoyed that the phone doesn't have an FM radio as I though it would and the international ones do, and would like just to test to see if my phone has the physical hardware chip in it or not.

[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Brasscat82:
If the model under the battery says 900F. It's a 900F.

You'll have to Odin back to stock using 900f firmware and Re-Root. Odin in TWRP. And then flash a custom room of your liking, making sure you only flash 900F rooms from now on.

In the future, be much more thorough in your research, comb the threads until you are absolutely sure you aren't going to FUBAR your device.

Resolved Tried to install a ROM and now everything "Unfortunately, xxx has stopped".

Resolved -- see post 3560

I have a G990H -- the dread exynos. It's been rooted for a years. I've stuck with 4.4.2 and the stock ROM -- but I've been wanting to switch ROMs for quite a while. I started with 2 old tablets as experiments because I would be disapointed to lose them, but not heartbroken (a Galaxy Note 10.1 and a Lenovo Yoga). Both turned out quite well and I am very happy with the result. SO, I decided to take the plunge.

Being limited by development on the exynos chipset, I decided on Android 6.0.1 -- Resurrection Remix M-v5.7.4, with CM13 as my alternative choice (it's great on my Galaxy Tablet!).

I started by finding the latest TWRP and making several backups. The latest that I found for the k3gxx was 3.1.0.0. So I made the backups and moved them off to my computer for safety. Then I wiped, installed RR, the 3 fix files, and open gapps, and rebooted, and my system locked. No boot screen, no response to power buttons -- I waited for over an hour before trying the power buttons. So I pulled the battery and tried again -- many times with different combinations of wipes, fix installs, and opengapps versions. Same result every time.

So, I went to my 2nd choice and installed CM13. It booted fine, found my network and logged on, but google sign-in "unfortunately" stopped (I forget the app name) and CM13 wrapped me back to the network. It wouldn't let me proceed without signing into google. So, I did a similar thing here -- trying different versions of gapps and wipes with the same result every time.

SO, I tried to restore my backups. Every one booted and started failing. I think that every app that tried to load did an "Unfortunately, xxx has stopped". I tried every backup. I hunted and found a slightly newer version of TWRP (3.1.1.0) and it does the same thing.

Finally, my original root was with clockworkmod and I had some backups with it. I reinstalled it as my recovery and restored several backups (it was lots of fun getting clockworkmod to recognize my external sdcard -- there were no versions before development stopped on the exynos that would do that -- but I did succeed ;)). And those restores did exactly the same thing! Nothing would load without stopping!

This has left me with the conclusion that my HW got reconfigured somewhere. What did Resurrection Remix do that crippled my phone? What did I forget/miss that has me stymied? I hunted around for "Unfortunately, xxx has stopped", and can find suggestions to reinstall apps, wipe caches, etc. to get around this, but that's obviously not my problem. What could I have done wrong or what could Resurrection Remix had changed that has hosed me like this?

(Yes, I wiped the cache and the davlik -- I've wiped everything except the external sd card and the internal sd card's user segment).

Hopefully we can get you going. First off, ( IF we're me) I would try to get the latest Stock Rom. ( will help with the latest Modems).

(YEP, best is to start fresh, with the latest stock rom for your phone)

Now it has been Tricky lately with TWRP AND Aroma actually working the proper way)

Sorry Don't have a link for you but, Mr. Haggerty, working on the Official Los, HAS put together a TWRP that does work right.

( for me, I stay away with any Aroma style Open G apps. Heck, get the Mini or even Micro Open G Apps, can always add what you want from the Playstore.)

Actually if was me, AFTER Having the latest stock rom,... I would head to the Offical Los Thread. READ the OP, and follow what is stated for your phone. ( Mr. Haggertk has worked with things for your phone..... IF, you can get the current and Latest LineageOS, w/OpenGapps running the trying to go over RR would be easy)

Oh 1 more thing, when wiping phone and such, make sure that you are not wiping the Modem, (without that you're screwed)

Also, Titanium Backup is awesome for just about Any app, even the stock parts. And yes a back up through TWRP, can fix a lot, However, might want to check IF the actual Backup can work.

If you're still here.... When you go to use Odin, MAKE SURE, that you dont have the latest one. Tink, Odin 3.10 is almost too far 3.7 can work as it has in the past, HOWEVER Odin 3.12 works a bit different than years past...

Hope this has helped you going forwards from where you are presently.
