Hi,

The same here. I'm getting led blinking for unread messages and missed calls but not for apps notifications (even if ticked in the settings). Seems it's a lollipop issue. As a workaround you can use a third party app for managing led light. For me Light Flow (paid version) works well.

---------- Post added at 08:23 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:17 AM ----------

Do you get bootloop after installing xposed framework or before? If the first -

so far (as written in the post no 1852) xposed doesn't work well on s5 phone with stock lollipop yet.

If the second try installing a rom following installation instructions from a rom thread. Very often flashing with full wipe helps (back up your data before).

I believe then that you chose a proper rom's build. For example for CM12 you should have chosen an individual CDMA build for your model: G900V (kltevzw) and NOT a unified build, did you?

I realize towelroot no longer works for the 900A...if you care about Knox. However I'm having difficulty finding out whether or not there is a root method that exists for the 900A variant that WILL trip Knox. It voids my warranty, boo hoo. The ability to use titanium backup, etc. is more important. Every post I read about rooting the 900a ends up about avoiding Knox and the user just gives up trying to root it so it would be good to know what methods of any that will work even if they trip Knox.

Hello,

I am not sure if this is the place to post this, but i hope someone can help me. I have been getting issues with my phone getting stuck in the emergency mode; I try to turn it off, but every time my phone reboots and when it turn back on, it is still in emergency mode.

Probably it's not what you are looking for but it fits to your requirements (it exactly does what you asked for) - buy a genuine Samsung etui flip cover, put it on your phone and activate an "Automatic unlock" option in Settings/General/Accessories.

Its not shiny Chrome but written in Plain solid grey color, the back also has a galaxy s5 logo which i can't find on the phones i searched online.

After doing a factory reset and rebooting the phone will ask for the country etc. again.

For the current firmware version you can use Phone info * Samsung * app.

Sometimes there is a performance issue on stock kernel if the bootloader is for a different version.

In other words: Check that the kernel and bootloader version is the same.

Hi All,

I tried to install Philz Touch CWM recovery on my S5 using Odin. It was success however after I reboot into recovery I don`t see philz recovery options i just see like below:

reboot system now

apply update from ADB

apply update from External SD

wipe data/factory reset

wipe cache partition

backup user data

and restore user data

So now I`m pretty sure that this is not custom recovery. I tried to install the recovery from Odin again but now I dont see the ID:Com yellow box anymore. Please help.

Just found solution to this issue.

On some S5 models, there is a script that overwrites the recovery you flashed. If you get stock recovery, just simply flash recovery again using method 1, as soon as you see “PASS!”, pull the battery before your phone reboots.

Put the battery back in and boot straight into CWM recovery, then when you reboot in CWM recovery, it will ask you to disable recovery script. Do that and you should be good to go
