[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hyperioum:
Hmm

I have modified to support flashing zips, but the shutdown animation is absent. I have a shutdown.qmg in system/media and data/local. I have tried zips in these locations, but not such a thing as "shutdown.zip" (as I think boot and shutdown animations are inclusive of the bootanimations.zip file). I have tried flashing and not flashing too. My model is the G900F. I shall try converting zip to qmg next.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fffft:
The 900F uses/system/media/shutdown.qmg

I can tell you first hand that it works as expected. Just replace the shutdown.qmg file and confirm that it has the correct permissions (0644).

The 900F cannot use a bootanimation.zip file unless you have modified your phone to use that instead of .qmg

.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hyperioum:
Got it

I have it working now. With the modification to use bootanimation.zip, the shutdown.qmg in system/media becomes void, and thus nulls the sequence to a mere still screen. Putting a bootanimation.zip (without flashing) in system/media, and moving shutdown.qmg to system/media/video/shutdown worked for me. I now have custom animations for both the boot and shutdown :)

I have now moved on and have successfully changed the lock sounds with no problems too. Thank you for all the advice and for clearing up info for me.

Double posting is bad form and you should remove your duplicate posts.

To answer your questions, you have a SM-G900T (TMobile) phone. And apparently have installed an international 900M ROM based on Trinidad firmware. Your screen shot also shows your phone branded (nicknamed) "KJC". That may be you or Google suggests that it may be a Singapore based phone dealer.

Stock firmware for this phone would be TMobile releases. You could also put a 900F based, unbranded "stock" ROM on it. Or simply proceed directly to a custom ROM. Many custom ROMs are based on unbranded European firmware e.g. 900F. For instance I have a 900T phone as well, with the Phoenix custom ROM based on 900F source and it would work fine in Alaska, Canada, the lower 50 states or European GSM carriers. It is not meant to work with CDMA carriers like Sprint or Verizon. The main reason for the CSC is to facilitate automatic carrier firmware updates. But if you have a custom ROM, you won't want automatic updates and the CSC is largely irrelevant. If you want to update a custom ROM, you should be doing a manual update.

You could put a 100% stock TMobile firmware on your phone, then decide what custom ROM you want. Or proceed directly to a custom ROM such as Phoenix, Alliance or XtreStoLite. There is a list of ROMs here.

[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kjc99:
So the carrier used Odin to flash a 900m firmware? I always put custom roms on my phones but I wanted to be on the latest baseband/modem first so if I flash the T-Mobile firmware there should be no problems with signal or anything? Or I could update with the latest TTT 900M firmware through Odin? KJC is just a nickname for the phone.... Thanks for your help.... I will remove other posts

1. So I can flash 900m latest through Odin? Is that safe?

2. If I play it safe and flash T-Mobile firmware through Odin.. Will I lose anything or be locked down in some way? (I know they removed mobile data toggle).. Does tmo still have same lte bands?
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aiden_7:
i want to root for clean rom,killing or deleting apps or process that i don't need...it's possible?

a list of process that work in background that a user can delete or kill?

before to kill,freeze and delete i would like to know more about it...there's a sort of guide about?

i ask because i think the galaxy s5 is sometimes a little bit laggy and maybe if i freeze dcc certainly background process not very useful ..the phone would be more faster or less laggy..or not?

because rom samsung is not very fast compared to a stock pure google rom or htc sense,ecc...

i want only root galaxy and work on original rom because i don't won't to risk the knox..
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fffft:
The S5 was just released a month ago, so all S5 firmware is very recent. The S5 shipped with 4.4.2 firmware and we are just seeing 4.4.3 /4.4.4 in the last week or so. It would be prudent to stay with 4.4.2 though as new firmware often contains unpleasant and sometimes irreversible changes. Better IMO to wait a while until the very latest firmware is fully understood. I don't see any disadvantage to you having 4.4.2, which is hardly an out of date firmware. But whether you choose 4.4.2 or 4.4.4, your stock firmware is 900T, not 900M. You can use Odin 3.x (or Chainfire's Mobile Odin Pro) to flash a 100% stock TMO 4.4.2 or newer firmware.

Do not try to flash a firmware older than 4.4.2, a custom kernel or custom recovery unless you are aware and understand that it will brick or trip the Knox security flag (invalidate your warranty). But you should be fine flashing a 100% stock TMO 4.4.2 or newer firmware via Odin 3.x. Be sure to read how to use Odin properly and ensure that the partition /PIT windows are

not

filled in.

You could flash a custom ROM based on 900M, although something 900F based would make a lot more sense for this phone. Your baseband will remain 900T in any case since it is a TMO phone.

We can't answer your question about LTE bands since you forgot to say who you were comparing TMO to - or who your actual carrier is. Assuming that your carrier is GSM based, it's not likely to be an issue.

.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kjc99:
It's an unlocked GSM network named GCI.... Assuming there selling 900T the bands are probably similar... I'm just trying to get to NE6... So maybe I'll unroot by flashing tmo Anch and then do OTA.. From there that way if something goes wrong I could still root and use my backup of 900M firmware Thanks for taking the time to help I really appreciate it
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fffft:
The reason for the lag is because Samsung installs an excessive number of trivial applications. This is referred to as "bloatware". If you disable or remove some of the bloat, your phone will be a lot more responsive and not lag any more. Using a recent root e.g. towel root should not affect the Knox bit. Note that changing the kernel or a custom recovery would trip Knox.

After you root, you can freeze bloatware apps that you don't need via Greenify pro or Titanium pro type programs. Or simply remove them. You will be able to find threads discussing which apps are safe to freeze or remove. Alternately you could install a custom ROM that is already debloated.

.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aiden_7:
which is the best,greenify or titanium?

custom rom i can't install because i want to maintain knox to 0x0..

so the only way is to freeze or unistall apps.

can you help me to find threads discussing which apps are safe to freeze or remove?

thanks..
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fffft:
Didn't you said that you don't have a TMO signal in your area? So you won't be able to do an OTA update then. Instead you can update to NE6 by downloading the TMO NE6 firmware and flashing it with Odin 3.x By all means do a backup first.. backups are always good.

I don't know anything about CGI's coverage in Alaska. But a quick Google suggests that they use LTE 700 /1900 /2100 + GSM 850 aka LTE bands B17, B2, B1 and GSM B8. Your TMO phone should be fine as it has all those frequencies. But you should confirm that with your carrier.

.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kjc99:
Ok all my other Galaxy phones have been unbranded unlocked phones and this one is upsetting me.... Because it is the T-Mobile version but not running tmo firmware.... Will my Sim card still work after flashing NE6 tmo stock firmware..... I thought Ota go by your csc region code? I just want to have latest baseband/modem/kernel then flash Omega... The reason I was gonna flash ANCH is because if I do NE6 I won't be able to downgrade if it doesn't work... Sorry I'm so hesitant but there must be a reason it came with the 900M firmware and not TMO
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fffft:
I prefer Greenify, but Titanium is also popular.

You could use a custom ROM and maintain Knox @ 0x0 as long as you choose a ROM that does not change the stock kernel or recovery. But there is nothing wrong with keeping stock firmware if you prefer that.

There are a lot of XDA threads about bloatware removal. You didn't say what carrier you use, here is a (Sprint) S5 bloatware thread. The apps are pretty much the same for all carriers, so if it's safe to remove for one carrier it is for other ones as well. Or you could get a bloatware removal app in the Google play store.

The mismatch is caused by someone modifying the phone's firmware after it left the factory. Either you did that or you must have bought the phone used or refurbished. There is no way that a brand new phone would have a 900T (TMO) baseband and 900M ROM. Some one has changed one or the other and it is very hard to change the baseband. So I feel confident saying that someone has changed the ROM.The baseband is the key part which suggests that the phone was manufactured as a TMO phone. You can confirm that by looking at the label under the battery.

Your SIM card is not directly affected by the firmware, provided that you install a firmware that is compatible with the phone's baseband and hardware. To return it to stock you would need to use a TMO image, not the 900M International one. I am just trying to be helpful but it's your phone of course and you can make whatever changes you think best if you disagree.

i have an european galaxy s5 no brand.so are you sure that is possible to install custom rom with knox still on 0X0? i think the only way is to install a custom rom that not has a different kernel.exist a cyanogen mod11 firwmare on s5 with the same kernel of stock rom samsung??(that not alterate knox counter)
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fffft:
It would have helped if you had mentioned which S5 model and base band you have. 900M? 900H? 900F? Anyway, you can certainly possible to install a custom ROM on a Qualcomm S5 and not trip the Knox counter. And it's probably possible for whatever variant you have as well.

I don't disagree that your choice of custom ROMs is constrained if you aren't willing to trip Knox. C'est la vie. Either way, it's up to you to decide which path to take. There is no right answer - do what you think is best and enjoy the results!

I've got a question for you Experts out there... LOL!

I now have an SM-G900T to add to my S5 group with the other 2 being the SM-G900V.

Why did I get another S5?

It's actually a funny story. Basically I had placed a $40 offer on ebay for that device I didn't imagine that would be accepted.

Well... It was accepted and I had just received this device yesterday. It's not that I didn't want it but, I didn't expect the offer to be accepted for half the asking price.

With that stated...

This is my first non Verizon device in years and I was just wondering what I should know about it in regards to the differences from the Verizon G900V.

I had already confirmed that the G900T had a clean ESN and it was already unlocked with TWRP and LineageOS already...

I'm just looking for some thoughts...

Thanks a bunch! :)

The only difference I could see between them are the radio frequencies

900V

3G UMTS

B1(2100), B2(1900), B5(850)

4G LTE

4/13; CDMA 1x/EVDO Rev.A: 800/1900MHz

900T

3G UMTS

WCDMA: B1(2100), B2(1900), B4(AWS), B5(850)

4G LTE

4G LTE FDD : B1(2100), B2(1900), B3(1800), B4(AWS), B5(850), B7(2600), B8(900), B12(700), B17(700)

Compared to the standard international 900F version

3G UMTS

B1(2100), B2(1900), B5(850)

4G LTE

B1(2100), B2(1900), B3(1800), B5(850), B7(2600), B8(900), B20(800)

Hi,

I could see one more difference between them which are partition tables. For example size of system partition of "T" variant is significantly smaller than "V" ("T"->2477MB, "V"->3000MB). This would be very important to consider by those who would like to port a ROM coming from different variant (tbh I find very often similar questions on xda related to porting roms between different variants).

Edit: btw, size of the system partition of "F" variant is 2500MB.

This is a great point and I've noted this as well. :thumbup:

I'm just wondering if anyone knows the following...

Though the LineageOS (and even the CyanogenMod) has been releasing (for quite some time) their Custom Firmware for the kltetmo device within the klte as a Unified development.

After doing a little search (actually a big one... LOL!), it seems to me that there's never been (including back in the CyanogenMod days) an actual "separate" kltetmo release.

It looks like the kltetmo has always been a unified development within the klte Firmware from the start.

Does anyone know if this is correct (even [MENTION=2693412]haggertk[/MENTION] or [MENTION=5795145]javelinanddart[/MENTION])?

Being an old kltedev owner, I remember I remember seeing the Kltespr so I would think there should have been a Kltetmo. When I went back to my old phone there was Klte and Kltedev. That is as much as this old brain remembers lol.

It's not a big deal to me since I am using the klte Firmware without any issues (so far LOL!).

It was just a curiosity question since, even on the CyanogenMod Archive website, I went back a few years and couldn't locate any specific kltetmo ones but, it was unified with the klte firmware.

I'm not going to press this at all. LineageOS is working fine.

Verizon Data when Roaming on AOSP

Greetings everyone. I hope this hasn't been asked about. I did do a quick search through the thread see what I could find and was unsuccessful.

I have a G900V (S5 Verizon Variant) with unlocked bootloader. I'm currently running Havoc OS, a LOS based feature rich 8.1 ROM. I live right on the KY/VA stateline. I have verizon as my provider. On the Kentucky side, and some of virginia, there are towers belonging to Appalachian Wireless a CDMA carrier that I can easily make calls and texts with. My understanding is that I should be able to roam and use data on their towers. My mother has a Samsung J3 I think it is that's a couple years old on an updated Nougat firmware.

I can use her phone and get 1x and 3g (sometimes) data here at home. But on my phone I can't get any data here. I can get LTE just fine up the road a bit in Virginia but I can't get data to work at all when using 1x or 3g. Does anyone know what my problem may be as to why I can't connect and at least get 1x or 3g data when she can? I've checked and we use the exact same APN's.

Also Is it the APN that determines whether or not you are able to get service datawise from verizon?

Thanks and have a great Day and weekend!

One more question that I've asked in a thread I started.

Has anyone tried any of the TW based ROMs from the snapdragon thread? I tried two after downgrading twrp, and softbricked both times. I didn't realize at first but doing this also left my SD card unusable since I was using extended storage in N and O. I'd like to try something like the UniqueROM or Noise or any other's that have updated N apk's from other devices in them. Like the theme store and so on. Thanks for any help.

Hi Guys,

I have a stock rooted G900F on 5.0 and it went a bit spazzy so I reloaded an old backup. The only issue is that the device no longer has bluetooth. Tapping it does nothing, and it appears to not have been part of the backup since it's crosses out in TiBu.

So other than reinstalling a whole new stock FW from scratch and all of my apps again. How can I flash the Bluetooth to work again please? I have TWRP installed but cannot find a flashable zip anywhere.

Thanks.
