Are the samsung features still fully functional on the Omega ROM? And are there any consequence when I load a custom ROM on a Globe unit?
[Galaxy S 5 General] whisper13:
Hi mate it's my first to try this "IMEI to unlock the carrier" my mom got her s5 from smart telecom business plan, but we want to unlock it because she's a Globe user, is this website really legit? 29.99$ is really a lot for me "only a student"

I've unlocked a total of 4 phones with them already, they're legit. I used paypal to pay. There was another suggested site from another member a few post back, you can check if it's cheaper. I wouldn't suggest a site if I never tried it ;) right?

Hi fellow Pinoys!

I'm fairly new here and I've just got my 16gb GS5 from Globe.

I hope you'll be patient in answering my VERY basic questions. :fingers-crossed:

1. Should I root or install a Custom Recovery first?

2. I tried installing TWRP using Odin, but it failed, it said Auth Failed. (Luckily my phone was not bricked)

3. Has anyone installed a Custom Recovery or Rooted their phones yet? If yes, please share how you did it.

BTW, i'm using SkipSoft Android Toolkit here. I have installed basic drivers and followed instructions carefully.

Thanks!

Hi guys,

Recently have purchased a Galaxy S5 plan 2000 sa Smart. Does anyone here know how to Sim Unlock this phone? Also wondering if those sim unlock websites can unlock a sim here in the Philippines.
[Galaxy S 5 General] kingofthebraves:
You have to have buy an unlock code but I've never tried doing that. There's a Facebook group for the s5 and there's a guy named Bryan mania who unlocks phones for 1k pesos. He's had several successful transactions already within the group

Help mga kabayan, badly needed

I Bought an S5 Korean Variant Model G900S (SkTelecom) from a friend who visited Philippines, told me he acquired the phone in Korea from a Pawnshop. after a week of using it, i decided to Factory reset the phone to flash a new rom, upon resetting i was asked for a samsung account (cloud) which i cannot provide, dinala ko sa greenhills to fix, natanggal naman but so sad nawalan ng signal ang phone, NO SERVICE imei is null 0000000000. I asked another tech and told me to install a custom rom to repair the null imei. last night i installed the latest official rom downloaded from samfirmware and still i got no signal (NO SERVICE) then i installed custom rom by edgarf28 XtreStolite v1.3.5 XXU1ANG7 signal bars appear and instead of NO SERVICE now its Emergency, still, i cannot use the S5 as phone as it has no network signal.

anyone or anybody has the idea how to fix it? Please Help

After installing the XtreStolite rom heres what appears in About Phone

IMEI - 000000000000000

Mobile Network State - Disconnected

Service State - Out of Service

Device Status - Custom

Device name - SM-G900S (Can be change to any name)

Model Number - SM - G900F

Android Version - 4.4.2

Baseband Version - G900SKSU1ANF1

Kernel Version - 3.4.0-2044893 dpi@SWDD6018#1

English must be used in the forum or the thread might be removed/locked. Did you back up your EFS?
[Galaxy S 5 General] Chaitanyapatel8880:
If you don't have backup of efs than it might be difficult
[Galaxy S 5 General] edreab86:
Thank you all for your replies,

My apology Sir Simone thankyou for reminding me, I Thought its ok to speak in tagalog since this was an s5 Philippines besides, i read a lot of replies in tagalog back in previous pages anyway i appreciate your kindness. Sorry i didn't back up the efs, i have said, after the sevice i received the phone without network signal - it says no service.

No Sir Chaitanyapatel8880 i dont have efs backup, i have this phone service by a technician to remove the cloud and i received the Phone without Signal/NO Service, instead of bars, a NO symbol appears.

Is there any chance for me to use this phone? In the History, is there a chance of fixing this kind of problem? Please Help, sorry i am a noob here.

Hoping to here from my Kababayans - GotDjent28 please help master.
[Galaxy S 5 General] Chaitanyapatel8880:
You should bring it to him because the only way you can fix it is by sending it to samsung.

There is another way as well...

There are some developers here on XDA who used to fix these type of EFS related problems but now it is difficult because the IMEI number is not stored in 3 different files/places,

1. EFS folder and

2. 2 other files.

I will try to find the one who used to fix EFS, but I cant promise. ;)
[Galaxy S 5 General] edreab86:
Thanks for the support sir, appreciate your kindness. BTW, my friend was already in Korea and as per his words, He acquired the Phone through Pawnshop, its hard to send the phone in korea for a repair since im in the Philippines. You mentioned 2 other files? what file is it? is it included in the folder "EFS" my EFS folder was empty anyway.

Not at all but that matter partially depends on the user and not on the phone itself. Even on kitkat I didn't experienced any lags.

I've read some post/forums about unlocking my SM-G900F However what I THINK I found working was the one where you change the IMEI of the phone. I kinda don't like the Idea where a lot of people have the same IMEI as you do.

however I'm still looking for way to unlock this thing so I can use SMART(no data cap and better LTE coverage).

any updates?

Hi guyz first of all want to greet all the kababayan's out here

Question: Im on alliance kitkat now and my modem and bootloader is also kitkat planing to upgrade in xtrestolite Lolipop rom so here's Im planing to do.

1. update my bootloader and modem using odin 3.09 (untick autoreboot) so that it will not reboot since Im expecting bootloop after that because Im on kitkat rom also a custom kernel

2. power off phone then go to recovery

3. flash xtrestolite rom

is this procedure correct? my alternative is when my phone mess up will flash the pure stock firmware with BOB7 firmware (BTW can I flash any country as long as it is BOB7 Im using g900f)

Is anyone tried unlocked their phone same with mine? tried to bargain with smartphone techs, they charge around 600-1.2K, but i found a way to unlock but it will change the imei and may relock and need to unlock same way again. I doubt that would be the way.
