Phone blocked, what do i do now ?

Guys, I'm a bit of a noob, in general terms. I managed to use ODIN to root my phone and install a custom rom a while ago, now i wanted to use the new NOVAROM, but it didn't work. I've got the G901F, more precisely g901fxxu1anh6 from Vodafone Romania, and i tried to install using ODIN a bootloader and a modem that aren't for my phone model, from what i gathered. Ideea is that custom rom installed doesn't work, i just see the "samsung loading screen".

Basically I installed the modem and the bootloader using ODIN, also got the CWM working using ODIN, and while in CWM in recovery mode, i went on wipe data cache, dalvik, etc then tried to install from zip, said successfull and here i am now.

Am i doing something wrong? Can somebody tell me the steps from 0 that i have to take? My phone is unusable at the moment, figuring what i should do with it.

SIM Unlocking G900A AT&T

I have a G900A S5 (AT&T) with about 8 months left on the contract but would like to unlock as I'm considering less expensive carrier alternatives. I have a request into AT&T but have not heard back yet, so don't know if they'll unlock it. In case they won't I've been searching for 3rd party alternatives, most of which charge between $25 and $30, and many of these can take a couple of days or more to provide the unlock code. I came across this site that claims to unlock generally within a couple of hours for $5.99. I'd like to make sure, given the price discrepancy, that it's legit and was thus wondering if anyone here has used this service or if others are recommended. Thanks!

I think you must do this ;

flash stock rom (with odin) - start phone (don't set anything) - turn off phone and reboot in recovery with 3 button combination (the recovery must by stock) and make an reset from factory with an wipe catch after.

[Q] Problems Handling Phone Calls (Call Waiting, 3 way, etc.) Verizon S5 on AT&T Netw

I recently bought a used Verizon Galaxy S5 (SM-G900V). It came with the lollipop OS. From the outset, I had problems with phone calls, text messaging.

1. When I'm in a call, I'm not able to dial (Like to enter numbers for automated systems).

*I solved this one by going to:

settings>applications>call>

Scroll down to DTMF tones and change setting to long.

2. When I'm in a call, I'm not able to click over to calls on call waiting. When I do try to click over, I still hear the original call for a few seconds and then both calls drop and I get an error message that says "no sim or invalid sim". If I don't answer the call, both calls drop and I get the same message. The same thing happens if a try to make a 3 way call.

3. If someone calls me and I try to call them back, the call redirects to turn it into an international call and the call doesn't go through.

*I solved this using an app called prefixer

4. If I try to text message someone who called me, I get an error message back saying the phone number is invalid.

I figured I would have to root my phone to be able to make some custom changes. I first had to downgrade to kitkat (android 4.4.2) and root it and then upgrade with root using some very helpful posts and resources found on this site (thanks). When I downgraded, problems 1 and 2 went away (for number 1, I had to change my network mode, but that solution didn't work when I went back to lollipop). After upgrading beack to lollipop, all of these problems were there, though I was able to resolve 2 of them, the other 2 are problematic.

I think theres a problem with the way the phone is handling the AT&T network signal since they have a different type of network from verizon but i don't know. I need some help please. Has anyone encountered these kinds of problems and solved them. Thanks

Hi. G900f here. Used skipsoft unified android toolkit to root and install TWRP recovery. Everything went fine, but had to re-root with supersu from playstore. Installed busybox, updated twrp to latest (2.8.7.0) and all is working well.

BUT i have the "recovery is not seandroid enforcing" and "set warranty bit: recovery" error every time I go into recovery. Everything works though, just that error. Googled around and all I could find is that those who get this error usually cant boot into recovery, which again is not my case. Should I just ignore that error? Anyone know the cause of it?

I just want to select the specified app everytime, because I am not always selecting the same app. It is even worse for contacts with multiple numbers. If I selected a number for always then what would I have to do to call their other number? Bad implementation.

and this web site:

http://galaxys5root.com/galaxy-s5-root/how-to-root-galaxy-s5/

I ended up using:

PhilZ Touch 6.26.2

Clockworkmod v6.0.4.7

In looking at this, I don't see anything the explicitly says it is the nandroid backup.

In Backup and Restore it has Backup To /sdcard and Backup to /storage/sdcard1

and it has Custom versions of both of these.

Would these be the nandroid back up?

There is a Misc Nandroid Settings, that has all kinds of settings.

It just looks different from the other phones I've rooted.

Also, there is an Aroma File Manager, if I click that I get an error No clockworkmod/aromafm/aromafm.zip in storage paths

Should that be there, if not, where do I get it?

Thanks for the help!
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jt1998:
for the 1st part of your question, yes when you make your backup and save it to either sdcard or sdcard1, that is your nandroid backup. I'd recommend external sdcard/sdcard1 personally.

Also, I had lots of problems with philztouch and ended up switching to twrp 2.8.7.0 and have had no issues at all. Sometimes my nandroids failed to restore with philz but never in twrp. Just my experience.

Don't know the answer to the 2nd part though. Sorry - good luck!

Currently I don't own a S5 but I plan on buying one and got several questions:

First and foremost, I've used my account before and already posted several times, but everything is gone now? What happened ?

I wanna buy (prefer) the Duos version of the S5, is this an obstacle for installing custom ROMS ? (The website where I can get it says SM-G900FD for the dual Sim version)

What I've seen that Samsung messed up their software and bloated the whole device in my mind, I just got some friends who got the device but none of em installed a custom ROM.

If I got the S5, doesn't matter if Dual sim version or single sim; there are some features I would like to have and I want to know if they are (easily) to achieve:

- A pure Marshmallow or Lollipop ROM, just like on the Nexus 6P i.e. without Touchwiz, additionally I don't even need the fingerprint sensor, heartrate sensor or NFC.

- When you press the power button a customizable would be great, like adding the flashlight option or smth like that

- Maybe the possibility to change the functions of the basic keys, cuz I used to have an older phone with an option key, instead of switching between apps (which used to be the home key)

- A camera app where I can set the name of the files, I used to have an Sony phone where all the pictures used the be named like DSC_XXXX, which was pretty good for finding them fast on my PC, I don't rly like that IMG_DDMMYYYYHHMMSS schema

- The possiblity when pressing the back key longer, to kill the app

- The last one is about Whatsapp msgs, when I'm getting an SMS I see the direct msg in the status bar, which is good, would be great if there's an option for Whatsapp too

I read something about the Marshmallow update for the S5, that it might be available in 2 or 3 months, will developers take this as a basis or do they already take the source code from Google

Thanks, that's it for now

After using my previous mobile - HTC Desire, I've decided to backup all my sms and contacts and then to restore it on S5 using Super Backup app. So it worked nice, all contacts and sms were restored. On my HTC Desire there was one problem with sms - when the number of sms gets around 1000-2000 in one chat or smth like that, the mobile starts to lag receiving/sending sms.

I thought this won't arise in S5. Yes, it works much faster, but in one chat (around 7000 sms) it's lagging for 3-4 seconds, when I receive or send SMS. In other chats it works fine.

So the question is - how to get rid of it? I don't believe that S5 with such good characteristics is lagging with sms.

7000 sms in a single chat might not be a common use case and the app does not scale that well... I'd back them up and delete the thread. It's waaay too much at once and I believe the stock SMS app does not load them in batches - I use Hangouts for SMS.

Hangouts would choke horribly if it loaded all those at once, it loads only a certain amount at first and then loads the older ones when you scroll up.
