[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] maly01801:
I'm having an issue with safestrap. For some reason it only let's me see the internal drive and not my external 32 gig card. When I click on ROM 1 or ROM 2 it just shows me the few gigs I have left on my internal.

Any suggestions?

you can only create rom slots on the internal storage that is how it works at this time external works for backups but not for rom slots

Hi everybody

I have a X1032 model. I'm having a problem flashing custom roms. I'm on stock 4.4.2. I unlocked my bootloader and installed cwm with fastboot " CWM-swipe-6.0.4.7-falcon.img". After that i rooted my phone with some supersu.zip file that i had to flash in cwm. So i have bootloader unlocked and a rooted device. Downloaded C-rom 4.4.3, wiped data/factory reset, wiped chache, and in mounts and storage i wiped /system. After that i flashed C-rom 4.4.3 succesfully but when i reboot the phone its stuck on a bootloop and i can't see why. I've tried it 3 times with no luck and even an older version of it, i tried cm11 4.4.3 but same no luck i tried waiting 20 minutes but it didnt help. Am i doing something wrong? or did i miss a step or something?

These are the roms i tried to flash:

Have you wiped cache? I'm not sure but wiping cache sometimes helps.

You may try Philz touch recovery, too. It can clean the phone to install a new rom, so it may solve your problem if you forgot to wipe a partition.

edit: Sorry, you said you wiped cache, missed it. You can still try another recovery I think. Don't know why but trying another recovery sometimes help. (I saved myself once, but may be just coincidence)

Go to downlaod Home and search for falcon and look for this one

philz_touch_6.43.8-falcon.zip

download it and put it on your phone and just flash it

then go to wipe data/factory reset you'll get an option to wipe for installing a rom choose that

after its done just flash your rom

it worked at the first time i did it :)

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] pcidiot:
I need the Stock Firmware version G900AUCU2AND3 So that I can flash back to stock. In the thread return to stock it has the previous version G900AUCU1ANCE. I get a error when trying to odin back (SW REV CHECK FAIL : [about]Fused 2 > Binary 1). So I am not sure how its done but need someone who has it do a dump or how ever its done to get it in a way that it can be flashed either by odin or in recovery... Any help will be appreciated... Thanks

i will need this too, i have my phone on at&t next and after a year i can trade it in, but if its custom os and stuff i cant return it, so i will need this too if i want to return to stock so i can upgrade to a new phone next year.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] pcidiot:
Bump: This is needed very badly. As I imagine many people had to take that bloat ware update. If anyone that has this firm ware has a problem and needs to restore back to stock. They won't be able to use the one that's listed in on this forum as its the older one, and now that there is Root. Its very likely this will happen daily that people will need it. I don't know exactly what soft bricked my phone so it can happen to anyone. My phone was fine until a reboot. Please, please, please. I'm begging everyone that has it. I asked Samsung and they wouldn't help. Next maybe going to AT&T store and having warranty claim done. I don't really want to find the out come of that.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] kwikrat:
I need this very badly as well. I rooted my phone and then tried to alter my screen density via an app I found on Google Play. It requested root, I granted the permission and then when the phone rebooted it hung on "Samsung Galaxy S5" splash screen and will no go any further. ODIN will not allow me to flash G900AUCU1ANCE firmware since I did the OTA update. If anyone could post up their G900AUCU2AND3, I would appreciate it very much.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] pcidiot:
I estimate we will get @ least One to two of these per-day until we get the files. Since we now have Root. It may take a bit as At&t version don't seem to have much for devs. Or ones that care to really help.(I'll probably get reamed for this. Sorry for you that help and for your time) I contacted At&t they told me they could not help but I could send my phone in for warranty exchange. Its that or go to BestBuy and they can flash it back. I don't have a Bestbuy Nearby.

can you update to G900AUCU2AND3 after flashing this?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] pcidiot:
YUP, I did the AT&T update check and got it immediately afterwards. I instead of flashing every one separately and rebooting loaded the three files so minus the Bl file. I did not have the problems of having to reload APN this way.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] dave1977nj:
Thanks!!! :good:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] shortydoggg:
A flash of the CSC file restores the APN after flashing the AP file, or flashing it together with the AP file, but it factory resets the phone. Flashing the AP file only is mostly for those who do not want a factory reset. But, a factory reset along with flashing only the AP file will indeed wipe the APN. I found all of that out through trial and error.

Want to start over! Need help!

So I want to do whats written out in step 4 of shorttydogs thread but I don't want to mess up or brick my phone. My goal is to start over and go back to stock with bloatware and everything that is available on stock if I were to go AT&T and buy it today. Here is a little background on my phone. My phone is rooted and I do have safestrap (and busybox). I backed up everything on my microSD card. I also have the g900AUCU2AND3 firmware on my phone. In addition, I deleted some but not all AT&T bloatware, which I want back. Lastly, for some reason the "add call button" during my calls is missing and was replaced with a "record" button I think this was because of me playing around with xposed. I deleted xposed framework as well as wanam and tried everything to get the "add call button" back but I couldn't. Thus, I just want to go back to stock to fix all these issues. I just have a few questions before I proceed just to make sure I'm not doing anything wrong.

1) If I flash the AP, CP and CSC files will I achieve 100% stock with bloatware?

2) Will this return my "add call button"?

3) Is it as simple as just using odin 3.09 and flashing the AP, CP, and CSC files?

4) I also understand that this will take me back to G900AUCU1ANCE but will I be able to do an OTA do go to G900AUCU2AND3?

5) Is there anything else I need to know to prevent my phone from bricking!

Sorry for the long post but I am fairly new to this stuff and don't want mess anything up!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] Achilles5410:
Answers to nightwing792

I wanted to do the same thing. Here's the scoop nightwing792.

1) If I flash the AP, CP and CSC files will I achieve 100% stock with bloatware?*

Yes this adds it all back.

2) Will this return my "add call button"?

Yes

3) Is it as simple as just using odin 3.09 and flashing* the AP, CP, and CSC files?

Yes, be sure to put the phone into Download mode first then open Odin, Then attach you phone via the USB cable that came with your phone.

4) I also understand that this will take me back to* G900AUCU1ANCE but will I be able to do an OTA do go to G900AUCU2AND3?

Yes your OTA update to AND3 will be available.

5) Is there anything else I need to know to prevent my phone from bricking!

This will not brick your phone. DO NOT DISCONNECT THE PHONE UTIL ODIN SAYS PASS!! Flashing all three will erase your personal settings and wipe the phone like a factory reset so back up your apps to your Google account and your contact to the SIM card or Google account.

If you did not trip KNOX when you rooted, using Odin will not trip it either. When in Download mode, your KNOX indicator will be shown at the top.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] nightwing792:
Thanks for answering my questions Achilles5410. Just a few more questions sorry.

1) I believe the thread says to flash the AP, CP, and CSC files all at once in odin. Is this true or am I supposed to flash each one individually?

2) Also how do I know if I tripped KNOX? I believe my KNOX status said 0x0. What does that mean?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] shortydoggg:
If your Knox status is 0x0, then you didn't trip Knox and you're good. If it's 0x1, then you tripped Knox and voided your warranty.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] nightwing792:
1) Yes, G900AUCU2AND3 is the most recent update and G900AUCU1ANCE is the older one.

2) Someone correct me if I am wrong but I don't think you can not currently use odin to go from the G900AUCU1ANCE firmware to the G900AUCU2AND3 other than by doing an over the air update. This is because the G900AUCU2AND3 firmware isn't available to download on the internet or at least I couldn't find the file for it anywhere.

3) I don't know what the benefit of going from G900AUCU1ANCE to G900AUCU2AND3 is other than bug fixes and improved security. If I were you I would stay on G900AUCU1ANCE because if you brick your phone than you can easily use Odin since the G900AUCU1ANCE firmware is available to download on the internet. If you feel that you do want to update than simply unroot properly and do the OTA update.

4) I'm not sure if you will trip KNOX....If you use odin I don't think you will but don't hold me to it. However, you definitely won't if you do it by an OTA update, which in your case you would have to do by unrooting
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] nightwing792:

Recently got an AT&T Note 2 and just getting a bit confused with all my android devices.

Rom: Stock

Android Version: 4.1.2

Baseband Version: I317UCAMH3

So how would I go about restocking it and then installing a new custom ROM like the ones on 4.3? Do I have to worry about locked bootloaders or something with the stock firmwares? Any special things I have to do when updating from 4.1 to 4.3 or so?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] crusnikmachine:
I am about to make the change from 4.1.2 to 4.4~ and i have the same question. Do i need to upgrade to stock 4.4 before i can flash 4.4? or since i already have recovery can i just wipe everything and flash the new rom?

The instructions are :

Wipe Caches + Data / Factory Reset

Install Rom

Install Gapps

Reboot

But i don't know if this works from a 4.1.2 rom.

You do not need to update the device...

Simply root it using CF auto root...and flash the rom of your choice....

The update to official 4.3 will give you the semi-locked Knox bootloader...

And you don't want that...

Several users are running 4.4 KK on the original bootloader...

But if you want the 4.3 loader..."ONLY" use the leaked 4.3 bootloader from the development section...g

However, my issue is that I can't see the Kindle on the Device Manager. Also, the tablet shows up under "Devices and Printers", so it's not completely unrecognized.
