Hello;

I was on TR lollipop, i was not happy with it and i directly tried to flash omega 4.4.2.

After that a bootloop has started, but not as usual bootloops. The phone gets to the samsung logo with the sound and suddenly music stops and the logo stops. (like a hardware error?)

-Did all the wipes before and after every flash.

-I've tried to flash 4.4.2 officials/customs, lollipop officials/customs but no luck here :(.

-Tried to flash cwn, philz also no luck.

-Tried kies, didn't work.

Any ideas what to do next?

Thanks for your help...

Hello everyone.

My girlfriend's S5 recently made the jump to Lollipop but there is a problem. Her home button doesnt take her back to the home screen. It instead takes her to Google Now, as though she were long pressing it if Im not mistaken (my phone is stuck on ICS so I personally have no clue). Anyway, is there a way to change the function of the home button back to normal, like it was before the update?

Thank you!
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] It_ler:
AFAIK you can disable the starting of Google now with home button in google now app settings.

S5 simlock

Hi! I'm new here and i have two questions.

A friend of mind bought online a Samsung Galaxy S5 G900F. The user he bought it from havent removed his fingerprint (from settings/ffingerprint) and he doesnt know the alternate password. Will a factory reset remove it?

Second question, i checked its csc and it seems it has a EE UK CSC, but he uses an vodafone sim card and it works fine. That means that it was unlocked or what? Will and upgrade to lollipop lock it again?

Thanks in advance.

I'm considering getting an S5 shortly after the S6 is available but I'm confused by the LTE situation.

I currently live in South America but frequently visit the UK. And this situation might reverse in future. So I really need something that works in both countries. The model on sale in SA is the M, the UK model seems to be the F, iiuc.

Am I right in thinking that I shouldn't expect the SA one to work in the UK or vice-versa?

I've found here three very long and confusing threads about hacking the S5 to enable other bands but they seem controversial for some reason I wasn't able to understand. Does this technique work or not?

Hope someone can clear away the confusion!

noob unlock question

After searching Google for ages I seemed to get varied results so figured I would post here for a clearer answer

Is the only current way to sim network unlock by ordering a code online(or provider)? Or can it be achieved through flashing the modem or a full ROM?

It's the G900F(xxu1ance) so any links to specific help would be much appreciated

And again sorry for the question that must have been posted a thousand times before
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] It_ler:
Yes, you can flash other stock firmware versions for the SM-G900F to your phone with Odin.

Check the S5 Firmware thread for latest versions.

I recommend unbranded firmware versions for your region (e.g. Europe), so that you are sure that it contains your prefered language.

So any European firmware version should work for you.

---------- Post added at 04:16 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:13 PM ----------

Which ROM?

Usually you don't need to format boot partition.

Does this ROM come along with a kernel?

Then the ROM's kernel should overwrite the boot partition automatically.

There are different "locks" for different variants of the S5.

Can't boot into recovery mode

Hello Galaxy S5 users. I hope this is the appropriate spot for my question.

I have a Galaxy S5 (SC-04F), from DoCoMo Japan. It comes with lots of bloatware and is having wifi connection problems. I thought I would see if having a better ROM would work better for me. After looking around, I thought I would try the Carbon ROM.

I followed the instructions here to root and install PhilZ Touch Recovery. Everything went exactly as described with no errors up until the step to reboot into recovery.

When I hold the up-volume, home button, and power together, it goes to the download screen and shows this text at the top left side:

Could not do normal boot.
ODIN MODE
PRODUCT NAME: SM-G9000
CURRENT BINARY: Custom
CURRENT STATUS: Custom
REACTIVATION LOCK:(KK): OFF
KNOX WARRANTY VOID: 0x1 (4)
QUALCOMM SECUREBOOT: ENABLE (CSB)
RP SWREV: S1, T1, R1, A1, P1
UDC START

If I boot normally, my phone not only works, but I seem to have rooted it. I can use Titanium Backup and Superuser.

I just can't get into recovery. Why is this, and how can I get to recovery?

[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] devilsdouble:
Why would it wipe? I don't think Samsung ROMs are wipe ROMs, they retain data if you dirty flash it. It's always recommended to wipe your phone whenever you are flashing a different ROM, unless you are using a custom ROM and the developer says no need to wipe.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] It_ler:
If you don't explicitly say to wipe data, it won't wipe. That's not a bug ;)

You have to do it manually by either selecting in system's menu Settings > Backup and reset > Factory data reset, or boot into recovery (hold Volume UP + HOME + POWER) and select to wipe data there.

[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kaibosh:
I believe (sorry I can't give a definitive answer - I'm only replying as nobody else has replied other than throwing their opinions about Knox in) that's correct. Having root access itself doesn't trip Knox. It's the methods of getting root at the moment (e.g. having to flash a custom recovery even though temporary) that trip Knox.

For what it's worth, I'm with you as far as Knox goes. If I can avoid having it tripped, then I'd rather err on the side of caution just in case I have a warranty issue. Although I'm finding that I don't need root as much as I used to - rooting was more of a habit than a need. There are a few minor things that I miss, but definitely nothing I can't live without - for now at least.
