Hello,

I am very proud to be a part of the community now.

I bought few days ago an unblocked Samsung galaxy S5 SM-G900V in Best Buy Store.

Today and for some times I will be in France, using my phone with local service proivder. Unfortunately, this model cannot connect to the 4G / LTE network in France.

Local bandwith :

- 1600 mHz

- 2600 mHz

Samsung told me that the device can only connect to the following networks :

- 700 / 850 / 1700 / 1900 mHz

Indeed I would like to know if it is the components posing problems or just the configuration made by Samsung / Verizon to block the connection in foreign countries like France. If it is the case I can flash my device and modify the bandwith accordingly to French one ?

Also I understood that Verizon device is not allowing root modification, is still the case ?

The seller from best buy ensured me that the phone was going to work in France but this is not true...

Many thanks for your help and support...

1. It is a hardware issue, not software, so you will not be able to change it.

2. Correct, the Verizon model(and AT&T) is still not able to be rooted.

3. It will work in France, it just won't connect at the fastest speed. Myself and others have used the phone in foreign countries with success, so it is definitely doable.

(If) the SM-G900V is the dev edition. Yes you can root it.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chamberc:
Correct, but it doesn't have the hardware required.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Versatile1:
Right, but 3G and changing APN etc. should work. I was answering the confusion he had on root.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] elliwigy:
you sure about that? I have a SM-G900V and its not a dev edition phone..... and if for some reason it is i purchqsed as a regular device lol

[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fffft:
If you can quote a source for that, please do so so that we can elucidate more details. Personally, I doubt that it is a hardware limitation. In the past there were hardware differences with different chips needed to support various transceiver bands. But semiconductor manufacturers have been leveraging advances in lithography and economies of scale for some time to move toward single chip solutions.

When XDA members asked these same questions about the S3, lots of people proffered the standard answer saying that it was a hardware issue. And that it would be impossible to modify the firmware to use a Bell or ATT phone on TMobile's AWS band. This was proven to be wrong (1, 2), the limitation was only in the firmware. The S3, S4 and N3 firmware have since been successfully modified to operate variant handsets on the TMobile and Wind bands.

The S5 has been reported to use the Qualcomm WTR1625L RF transceiver. This is said to be the first IC that can operate on all LTE bands and looking at the datasheet for the chipset suggests that this is true. In fact Qualcomm promotes the transceiver this way -

There may still be cost saving or protectionist measures in supporting hardware choices that limit us but given the available evidence and in particular the specific RF chip being used in the S5.. it would be fair to say that regional LTE limitations are much more likely to be firmware than hardware issues.

Hi,

I have Samsung galaxy S5 SM-G900V for vreizon ,

Today and for some times I will be in ASIA,

Local bandwith : 2100 mHz

this model cannot connect to the 4G / LTE network in Asia.

But i have iphone 5s Verizon , at Asia local can connect 4G / LTE

I don't know , why galaxy S5 SM-G900V Can't connect 4G / LTE for Asia

I have root my galaxy S5 SM-G900V,

But i don't know how can do it ....

Many thanks for your help and support...
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fffft:
That seems off topic to this thread, so you should start a new one if you have remaining questions.

You didn't give full details or even name the Asian carrier.. but this is probably the case -

Some iPhone 5s variants support both HSPA+ 2100 and FDD-LTE 2100. The TMobile S5 does as well. But the Verizon S5 only supports HSPA+ 2100, not FDD-LTE 2100. The hardware is almost certainly capable of doing so, but Verizon decided to restrict that band on their S5. Presumably to deter carrier churn. It looks like Verizon only enabled LTE on 700 /1700 for the 900V.

Blame Verizon. AFAIK you won't be able to use the Verizon S5 on that band unless someone modifies the firmware.

What should I do please help me
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] netomel:
Did you flash the kernel if needed? You have to provide more info in order to get help model, build released, kernel, version you are coming from?

Just guessing if you are on a boot loop it's because you are missing something or flash something wrong but provide precise info to help better.

Hi,

So I changed my HTC One M8 from Sense to GPE using the RUU method. I have yet to encounter any problems, but just wondering, is there any ROMs or mods available to the GPE edition?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dannejanne:
Just install Xposed Framework and you have access to all the mods you need or didn't know you need.

[One (M8) Accessories] jtc276:
Does anyone know where you can purchase replacement speaker grills for the M8? I've checked on eBay and I've just found them for the M7. According to this video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UxpZmBOLeoo), they're ridiculously easy to replace. I accidentally scratched my upper grill today (my phone was in a case but landed face down on gravel) and I'll need to fix the problem or else the resale value will plummet (yes, petty things like this destroy resale value more than anything). Anyway, if someone could link me to some, I'd really appreciate it. Thanks!

I Googled pretty hard but found nothing. I've honestly never heard of that site before, they're not U.S. based, and their prices are a bit too high ($22 for just the top grill). So I'm probably just going to wait it out unless someone finds something better.

i tryed to wipe files and catche but it didnt helped,

i tryed to install the ROM again but it didnt helped...

i can get to the recovery and download mode, but my phone still stuck on the stuped logo...

what to do?

sry if i have spelling mistakes...
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] boomboomer:
You have corrupted one or more partitions, try a factory reset after flashing your custom rom again.

If that doesn't work then use Odin to flash a stock firmware, then factory reset.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] orial10:
thx but...

sorry but what "flash a stock firmware means?"

how do i do that?

do you have links?

ty!
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] boomboomer:
Go read the sticky thread in general forum, you are missing basic information.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] orial10:
ok so i should download the firmware achieve from my area

then i just flash original ROM?

this is the instruction page: http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s3/general/fix-s3-to-factory-unroot-stock-recovery-t2323847

then im done?

i need to change the recovery thing too?

or i can just start from procces 4?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] orial10:
i did what u told me

i used odin to flash

then it stucked on samsung logo

so i went to the recovery, and i wiped the things

but it didnt helped, it still stucked on the samsung logo..

i noticed some red lines in the recovery that says

"failed to mount /efs(invalid argument"

what is that means?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dxppxd:
Means you screwed the efs partition when flashing an incompatible modem with your efs version.

If you flashed a 4.1.2 firmware and got that error, try and flash a mg4 or above modem to see if it gets solved. Or flash a 4.3 firmware altogether.

Read rootSU post on efs, it's a must.

Of you ever backed up your efs or used twrp recovery to make a nandroid backup (which also backs up efs) you might get it back by restoring it.

Otherwise, a patched kernel, modem or ariza patch would be the last available choice before sending to repair.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] orial10:
can you explain or give me some links how to do that?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dxppxd:
I mean, go to the stickies in the general section and read. They're there for a reason, including steps before rooting, flashing, information on the efs partition, and pretty much everything else you could have done to avoid the situation you're facing right now.

Definitely worth a try
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] carngeX:
So I got an HTC One second hand. Listing just said user reset it and started bootlooping. Got it for cheap so I figured I'd try and fix it.

Got it, and plugged it in (dead battery). The charge light indicator turns on, and the screen turns on with the charging animation, but only for a split second. Then it goes to the splash screen for about 10 seconds or so, screen turns off for a few seconds, then right back on and up to the splash screen.

Tried holding the Vol down to get into bootloader, but so far no good. The only way for it to stop the loop is for the battery to die. When I plug it into an outlet or a computer, it immediately goes right back into the boot loop.

So, is there anyway to save this? Or am I SOL?
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] SynisterWolf:
plug this thing into a wall and wait for the charge light to stop blinking. once thats done press and hold vol - and power and keep holding till you see the bootloader.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] carngeX:
Thanks for the reply. I recognize you from the Rez forums when I used to have one :p.

So, tried that. I plug it in (device is off now because it ran out of juice apparently), and the light blinks, splashscreen comes up for 10 seconds.

After that, it reboots, and the charge light doesn't come on again, and then goes into its bootloop.

I also tried holding the Vol down for around 3 reboot cycles, both on and off the charger.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] SynisterWolf:
have to hold volume down and power at the same time. keep holding and it should go to hboot.

Edit: welcome to the M7. ^_^
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] carngeX:
Still no-go =\.

Tried holding power + vol down at the same time, both on and off the wall charger and still nothing.

Is it a goner?
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] SynisterWolf:
to me it sounds like there is still hope. as long as you can see the splash screen you still have a chance.

i would put it in a wall charger and just leave it for a bit about 20 min and then try the vol - and power.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] carngeX:
That's what I was thinking as well, going from my experience with the Rez anyway.

Alright, I'll just let it sit on the charger for while and hopefully the buzzing doesn't annoy me too much lol.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] carngeX:
Still can't get into bootloader :(.

Tried after about 30 min of being on the charger.

Something weird I noticed, if I press/hold power+vol down while it's on the splash screen, the back/home soft keys will blink 6 times, then the phone shuts off/starts back up again in it's loop (but they won't blink if I was already holding them down before the splash screen came up). Not sure if this is relevant or not, but I figured I would mention it.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] dottat:
When that exact thing happens switch to holding only volume down.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] carngeX:
Tried it - screen still just goes black, and then repeats the splashscreen bootloop like before.

Should I try contacting HTC and see what they would charge to send it in?
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] dottat:
I have this happen to both my max and my kids m8. It was a matter of timing the power and up button combo and then shifting to just vol down the second it rebooted. First time took me twenty minutes to get it right. During which I may have broke a sweat. Don't give up just yet.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] carngeX:
So, I should hold Power + Vol UP while on the splash screen, then when the buttons flash, switch to just Vol DOWN? Or am I not doing the correct technique?
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] carngeX:
So this is what I've tried doing; not sure if it's the correct timing or not:

From a dead battery, plug in and hold power + Vol down, it just goes into bootloop

During the bootloop, held Vol Down during the black screen in between the white HTC splashscreen; still bootloop (tried this at various times in between the splashscreen loops; there's about a 5 sec gap of black screen)

Tried the same above, but with Power + Vol Down

Tried Power + Vol Down during the white splashscreen, the back/home soft keys blink 4 - 6 times, and releasing the power button while keeping vol down held, and then reboots into the bootloop again

Not sure what to do at this point, besides contact HTC, unless you guys have any ideas/proper order to press the buttons?

Edit: plugged it into my computer, and about 3/4 of the way through the HTC Splashscreen, I hear the USB plugged in noise, then immediately the eject noise. For a second I can see "Android Phone" listed under Devices and Printers. Tried running fastboot reboot-bootloader and it didn't catch it. Tried running adb devices during the second it's recognized, but it didn't see anything. Tried in both USB 2.0 and 3.0 ports.

Also tried pressing Vol down during the time its recognized, but either my timing was off, or it didn't work.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] carngeX:
Update: Also tried holding the light sensors under a lightbulb and tried the above attempts (read somewhere this has worked for people)... still a no-go.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] carngeX:
Still haven't been able to get it after a couple days of trying on and off.

Contacted HTC and I'm going to send it into them.

Since I'm not sure what HBoot is on it currently... if they were to update it to the latest (newest OTA) that's just been released before returning it to me... will I still be able to unlock bootloader/S-Off with Firewater/Weaksauce?

Thanks for the suggestions you guys provided dottat and synisterwolf I appreciate it!
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] SynisterWolf:
sorry ive been away, work has be busy. If they do update it, there is no way to unlock or s-off ATM. the OTA might be to new for them to care and just flash you back to 4.4.2 sense 5.5
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] carngeX:
No problem man.

Lame.. hopefully hey don't update it. According to the agreement notice they emailed me with my ticket info and stuff, it says" Please note that all repaired devices will be set to carrier or HTC specifications, and will be factory reset."

Hopefully that means that they'll just reset it back to how it came and not update it.

Otherwise I guess I'll either wait or try and sell it, since the device itself is pretty much mint.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] carngeX:
So I got it back today from HTC... and I think they updated it :(. Can somebody confirm for me?

Bootloader says this:

PVT SHIP S-ON

HBoot-1.57.0000

Radio-1.13.41.0421

OpenDSP-v32.120.274.0909

OS-4.10.605.3

Settings says:

4.4.2

Sense 6.0

4.10.605.3

So there's no way to root, or S-Off, or bootloader unlock right? Neither Rumrunner nor Firewater work? Is an unlock exploit being researched?

Hi,

I have a HTC Sensation 4G running on Android Revolution HD 7.7

My phone has been restarting randomly (specially during calls)

Could this be due to the load of Android 4.0 been too much for an older hardware such as this?

If that's the case I'd downgrade to an older OS rather than buying a new one.

If you think that's the case then please suggest me a ROM to install.

Thanks.
