Give it a few more months, the S5 development is still young. It'll just come just wait for it, some of the ROMs on the OAD is based on CM11's current G900P source, its still unstable but people likes posting new ROMs even though is still not good for a daily driver. Anyways once CM's source is stable it'll be out and other ROMs will follow. ;)

Chainfire Autoroot + Device Encryption, Possible?

Recently did a "standard" root of my phone to freeze some carrier bloatware. If I try to encrypt the device post-installation, it crashes, and, after a stressful amount of time, reboots sans encryption. Is there some setting I'm missing in SuperSu, or is this simply not possible?

In the meantime, my solution has been to perform all the alterations I desire, unroot, and then encrypt, but this is less than ideal.

Let me know if I can provide any additional details.

Absolutely you can install stock ROMs on your device with KNOX 0x1 - this is only means that your warranty is no more live. No any function lost.

I didn't see that anyone else replied to your question.

In the past, when that message started popping up all the time, a short time later (days or couple weeks) the sd card died.

It could be on its way out.

Either way, I would backup anything important currently on the card! Then do a low-level format, ideally using pc. Then format again after you put it back in the phone. See if that may help.

I'm confident this has nothing to Do with the rom

[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Akalsemann:
Actually with knox 0x1 you can not use the KNOX Security system, which i have heard is great but my phone is 0x1 so i can't use it now. Also knox 0x1 will mean you can't update via official methods such as OTA or Kies, however you can still update your phone to the latest firmware using odin and a firmware from a site such as sammobile.com.

There might be some other perks with 0x0 that you can't have with 0x1 but i don't know anymore than what i have written.

restore nv without QPST or manually

Hi there, I have a Galaxy S5 SM-G900R7 that has CS-Autoroot installed, with a recently flashed stock firmware kitkat 4.4.2 and was editing the NV values trying to get access to different bands following the main guide by fffft, and I think I messed it up bigtime. The phone now will not stay connected when in RNDIS mode, in QPST it flashes from no phone to showing a phone (MSM8974) and I cannot manage to restore it with my backup because it will not stay connected long enough. Is there a way another way to edit or repair the NV values?

as a side note, I found that even before going from lollipop to kitkat and being able to connect to QPST, I was able to enable all GSM bands using service mode, so messing around with NV values using QPST wasn't even necessary in the first place, and didn't solve the problem of the phone only showing LTE/CDMA as network options. I found a file in efs/carrier that was called Cdmaonly which I think has something to do with it. Even with all the GSM bands enabled and a custom APN app (for giffgaff in the UK) I was still not able to connect this damn NTelos phone to the UK networks. I think the NTelos version has the least bands of all the variants. UGH

"recovery booting...." screen help, urgent

Hello!!

well basically there is a pc program called "wondershare dr.phone android" in which you can recover your lost photos or videos. after the recovery process started, and error ocurred, it said i needed to root the phone, i agreed and again, another error appeared.

There is an option called "fix my phone", apparently this option would undo everything and get back to normal, well, it didnt work, now i am stuck at "recovery booting...." screen,

Some people told me i should go to kies from samsung and restore everything to default, ok i dont even know if it i should do this, but more important, i can NOT lose my 3 years old not backed up photos and videos.

not a custom ROM, i had everything default, the official settings/firmware/everything default settings of samsung

and the recovery thing was an option from wondershare i hadnt install any before

i also wonder if i make another root, a propper one i will keep my videos and photos
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jt1998:
I think if you can get to do Recovery mode and then reboot or factory reset, you should be ok and not lose any pics/videos on your internal storage. You may need to pull out the battery 1st. Press and hold power, volume up, and home button, when you see wording in top left of screen, you can let go. Then choose reboot this device 1st. If that solves your problem, great. If not, enter recovery mode again and select Factory reset.

Good luck.

yeah the thing i hit volume up+ home + switch on button, it goes to a screen where i only can see the samsung logo and in the left upper corner a blue text: "recovery booting...." and thats it, doesnt do anything else, there are no options just the logo and the text. i'm reading about cwm and its power to back up data. anyway i only can move between this anoying and frustrating screen and the download mode.

I got my Galaxy S5 G900W8 used in December. It works fine but occasionally, when I restart it, after the animated logo, it remains black, then everything starts to crash, literally all the apps, all you see is the crash window popup, and no matter how long I wait and force close all, it remains black and all I can do is reboot and hope that it works. It doesn't always work, but sometimes it works and returns to normal. I don't really have issues when the phone is running, only when I reboot.

If it ever sticks and doesn't return to the normal, I have to use Odin to reflash stock latest ROM.

I'm running Stock Touchwiz Lollipop, rooted, with TWRP.

Note that I didn't have TWRP when this issue started. This issue also happened in Kitkat.

Hi,

I'm affraid you are not only one ... Something similar was happening to me recently and hopefully will not happen any longer (so far is ok).

It started soon after I bought my brand new g900f s5 and upgraded to Lollipop via KIES. Exactly rebooting the phone for some reasons (from time to time) didn't boot properly but was booting very slowly and after booting process I got a message "System process not responding" and black screen with access only to expandable status bar and power menu. Then often when I rebooted the phone (after a few trials) it booted properly.

However later on it started to be worse: during reboot it went to a bootloop or stuck during normal operation and then when I forced rebooted it went to a bootloop as well.

Initially I managed to recover the phone by restoring my nandroid backup as Recovery and Download mode was available.

However unfortunately it happened the worst: the phone stuck during charging. Then after force-rebooting it went to the bootloop. Trials to recover by nandroid restore failed - it kept bootlooping .... and after some trials it stuck completely - no Recovery neither Download mode. I thought that time the phone is hard bricked :eek: Battery was still charged enough (I checked it on other phone). Fortunately I managed to get to download mode after keeping phone for some time connected to the charger and trials with removing battery.

Finally I flashed the newest original firmware for my country via pc odin and after it booted properly, made a full wipe and then installed my custom rom.

So far works well but I'm not sure if it will be fine for good.

Sorry for long story :)

HI all,

I'm having some difficulties installing CWM/Chainfire Root onto my device.

I have an S4 which I've rooted, and got CWM on, so I'm not completely new to doing this, however I am unsure why the S5 is failing to take the Chainfire Auto-Root.

I've tried it with Odin 3.07, and 3.09. Odin recognises the phone, and accepts the file, I see the progress bar going ahead on the S5 itself, then it resets, and I get some text at the top about:

Recovery Booting. . . . .

Recovery is not seandroid enforcing

Set warranty bit: recovery.

I've left the phone now for a while, and there's still no red android dude rooting my device for me.

I've got a recovery file, so I'm always able to get back into my phone, but alas, no CWM, and no Root.

I know first point of call is to search, but having spent the last four hours doing that, and pretty much finding the same instructions everywhere, I'm at a loss.

If anyone is able to help, please do. Perhaps I'm just doing something obviously silly. IE: Need to install one before the other, or have a setting unticked somewhere ( Android debugging is enabled ;) )

Stick to the installation instructions of CF-AUTO-ROOT thread.

Turn off the phone completely. Then boot into download mode manually (Volume Down + Home + Power ).

Start Odin on PC. .. check that no kies process is running.

Then connect the phone with USB cable to PC.

Untick the auto reboot option in Odin.

Start flashing CF-AUTO-ROOT tar file in AP section of odin.

If ready, disconnect the phone, turn off the phone completely (long press power), and then try to reboot manually into system.

• Started the process, phone progress bar reaches 100%

• Waited until Odin said "Pass!" and flashed green (took 02:08 minutes:seconds)

• Unplugged phone, removed battery, put battery back in, and turned phone back on

• Got the three lines (Red, yellow, blue) that I posted in my first comment, screen is blank

• Left phone for 30 min, still nothing.

• Removed battery, put battery back in, booted back into Download mode, but cancelled (Vol down - Same three lines and result as above two points)

• Removed battery, put battery back in, tried to boot into Recovery mode (Vol up), but again, same result.
