hi, i think i have region lock. i inserted a original region sim. have to make a call for unlock? this is a Finland phone and we are in turkey. So making a call can be expensive. is There anything else to do? and what is this R over the signal bar?
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] It_ler:
AFAIK you don't need a Finish SIM card but a European one. A few minutes on the European SIM card should be enough to region unlock the phone.

The "R" means roaming. [emoji6]

EDIT:

My German description says that you have to make a phone call of at least 5 minutes with a European SIM card, then it's unlocked.

wcdma no signal

Hi All

Please help me.. i am very much worried..

I bought galaxy s5 g900f some days ago. It is on lollipop and everything works fine except that it does not connect to any 3g network. I have tried everything but no success. Following are the list of things i have tried

I selected wcdma mode only and searched for available networks but no network found

I selected the auto mode but no success

I selected 3 other sims of different networks but no success.

I flashed the uk firmware with different baseband using odin but no success ( previous was poland based)

The same sim works fine on my other handset and there are strong 3g signals. Please note that only for 3 to 5 seconds i got H+ sign on my notifcation bar a day ago.. otherwise its E.

Also my set is not under warrenty so cant go to service center.

Help in need :(

I just finished downloading a custom rom on G900L by Mahn. I tried searching the internet but no solutions :( .

What does it mean when "Install SpaceX 4.2 G900L,S,K by Odin, + Install last bootloader, modem"?

I have a:

* Samsung G900L 5.0

* Non Rooted Phone, Do i need to root first?

* Stock Recovery

Ok so here's what i thought but i'm not quite sure about it, i don't wanna end up bricking my phone.

* First I start up odin v3.09 right?

* Then i set my phone in to download mode.

* Then connect it to computer

* Then i put the 3 Files on odin.

*** BootLoader on BL

*** Modem on CP

*** And the custom rom for G900L (tar.md5, after extracting from zip) on AP.

* Then tick the 2 boxes (Auto Reboot, F. Reset Time)

* Then Start?

Is there a mistake in my steps? or i should proceed with it?

* I don't have a rooted samsung s5 SM-G900L phone.

Thank you so much for anyone who can help, i would really appreciate it, I apologize for being such a noob.

Have a good day!

I don't have a clue!

Greetings,

hoping someone can help with my dilemma, there's a fair bit of background so I'll give the problems in short and then the events that proceeded in case there's something in there that gives a clue. The short of it:

- The official system seems to think that the phone is rooted

- Apps associated with root don't think that it is rooted

- Can't access any google features

- Can't re-root

The long of it:

I have an SM G900F on Vodafone UK. I rooted it using Odin about 2 months ago but I'd never really made the most of it and my phone was starting to crash and have fits all the time so I did a factory reset to clear it out, since then I can't use any of the google features as it always comes up with the "google cannot establish reliable connection" fault, I've tried all of the ways round this I could find on the internet to no avail (including multiple factory resets). I then decided that it could be due to the phone being rooted so I went onto supersu and unrooted through that, however when I try to update the phone's software it still says that the OS has been modified in an unauthorised way. I thought maybe re-rooting and unrooting again might solve the issue but when i boot in recovery mode and open Odin it doesn't recognise that the phone is there.

So yeah, that's pretty much it I think. Sorry for the essay!

Thanks in advance

Would suggest you do this

Go to your setting and in Dev option, tick USB debugging. Download latest drivers and stock rom(tar.Md5).for your phone on your pc. Switch off your phone go to download mode, connect USB to PC. Once it recognises your phone, flash stock firmware using Odin. Merely factory reset will not Remove root

RE: Emergency calls only after updating

Have you tried cleaning the back of the SIM card with an eraser? I had to replace my S5 a few months ago for the same thing. The signal stop working, tried a different SIM card and it worked for a day. When I put the old SIM back, both SIM cards stopped working. I ended up calling the ISP, and they believed that the issue was that the modem burned out. If it is under warranty, your ISP or Samsung will be able replace the phone.

Rooting g900fxxu1bnl9

I need some help with rooting my sm-g900f which runs on 5.0 lollipop g900fxxu1bnl9 (preferebly without triggering KNOX, but if that's impossible then I'll take it).

I've searched a lot with google and here on XDA, but I can't find anything that gives me 100% certainty that I will gain (permanent, or without breaking some functionality) root permission. So if any of you could be so kind to guide me or point me into the right (noob friendly) direction, I will be very happy ;)

If rooting gives too much trouble just yet, there's also no problem for me to just use a custom ROM, but I think there isn't any stable rom out there yet.

Also, will I loose the fingerprint scanning functionality with all above mentioned sollutions?
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AuGmENTor:
Personally, having tried a LOT of custom ROMs, I haven't found any stable enough to drag me away from stock. All sorts of little annoyances like texts and calls not going through, to wifi and bt issues. I rotted to get all the crap that Sprint thinks I really need to have on my phone. Knox isn't an issue for me. If it ever becomes a problem, I plan on running 120V AC through it so they can never see if anything was tripped. My Knox was tripped within an hour of me picking up my phone. In the year I've had it I've tried at least 10 custom ROMs. Finally got so disenchanted with the whole experience I Odinned back to stock and rerooted. Removed bloatware. Phone runs just fine. The only issue is the camera flash shutting the phone down every so often. So, IMO, unless you think you need a custom ROM, you're not missing much! I keep waiting for Kies to have the 5.0 update. so far nada.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jaanto:
One of the main reasons for wanting root is for regulating app permissions and, indeed, getting rid of the factory installed apps being shoved down my unwilling throat. I don't want no sneaky, stinking company stealing away my personal data without my consent.

Just wondering if there is anything I can do to get my NFC working? It hasn't worked on CM11 or CM12. I don't remember checking that it worked straight after root or it is something that has been a result of something else. In settings the NFC and Android beam tabs are greyed out.

Also I tried to use a TV remote app but it seems the IR is not working either.

Everything else is fine.

I'm in Australia with smg900i. If I'm not wrong it won't be long before they release an official. I've used Cyanogen 12 (lollipop) nightly's for a while but they are still a bit glitchy and not a lot of options to customize as obviously its still early developement. It is however usable as a daily driver. I'd install Ktoonez kernal for improved battery etc if you decide to go down this path.

I am back on cm11 kitkat now though.

You probably already know but these are AOSP ROMs and not touch wiz. So are different to stock but I think they are better.

Is your device rooted?

---------- Post added at 11:56 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:51 PM ----------

My device is sm-g900i and this forum lists it as 900f also. Same as in my settings/about device. There are four variants of 900f if I'm not wrong.

I've changed my signature in settings to rectify this, so I'm sure my signature says sm-g900i now (although I can't see my signature of my posts).

The last I knew (and it's been a couple months) the print reader was not functional in any custom ROM.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jaanto:
If I can enable privacy guard or anything like it, that balances the scale for me for not being able to use the fingerprint reader. I might just wait for cm12 to get out of beta, although I don't seem to be very fond of cyanogen lately. What I prefer the most, at the moment, will still be a trusted way to root the S5 instead of slapping on a custom rom (however some of them are really good! Takes care of touch wiz i.e.)

I guess the best bet is to be patient for a while until there is a solid (and noob friendly way) to root. I'll take tripped Knox for granted.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AuGmENTor:
From what I remember, print reader functionality restrictions had something to do with Samsung. I THINK I read, it would never be functional in anything other than stock environment. I could be wrong though. I posted a few.... posts ago, that I had run a lot of custom ROM's, and ended up rooting the stock ROM and debloating it. It has been the most stable for me. I have been flashing for years, but the S4 and S5 don't seem to have custom ROM's offering the stability of the ROM's of yesteryear. Not the fault of the devs... Something to do with the hardware.

First XDA Post, please excuse my lack of refinement.

I followed the steps on reddit.com/r/galaxys5/comments/2ubsbs/guide_rooted_android_50_for_the_international but literally havn't even finished step 2...

My phone is an SM-G900f (unrooted, 5.0)

Steps I took:

1 - Booted phone in recovery to wipe data & cache

2 - selected stock ANE2 in Odin 3.09 (I chose the G900FXXU1ANE2_G900FOJV1AND4_G900FXXU1ANE2_HOME.tar.md5) w/ default settings

3 - Odin failed giving me the following error: FAIL! (Size)

4 - At this point I stepped out of the room for a few min and came to find my 3 yr old had unplugged my phone from the laptop.

5 - phone currently says "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in keis & try again."

here is the current output from odin after i tried to flash the stock firmware:

6 - I read that you need to use a pit file to fix the size problem so i found the one for the open european variant of the g900F and added it to odin as re-part. but when i start odin nothing really happens and ikeep getting the same message over and over: "<OSM> All threads completed.

S5 flash and downgrade problem

Hi, (hoping i'm on the right thread)

i have a problem with my GS5 - SM-G900F.

i flashed Poland's Lollipop last week, it was a success and i'm loving the new UI

but after a day the battery started draning so fast.. Like on kitkat i can use my phone 20 hrs to 1 day+ while using wifi, watching videos on youtube, playing hd games (gta, asphalt etc). But on lollipop my battery drains like 2% per 5 mins and when i'm playing it drains 6%-7% per 5 mins.

So i decided to flash the stock rom. Kitkat 4.4.2 (i'm from the philippines), but i have the same problem with the battery.

Anyone have any idea what's going on? Thank you so much!
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Many40:
Hi,

From what you wrote I don't think that your battery problem is related to the rom itself but rather to other factors so I would rather recommend you to check wakelocks/alarms using BetterBatteryStats app after a few hours of observation. Then it will be much easier to judge what is "guilty" (find a culprit of this unusual battery drain).

Good luck.
