Do you have any clue which app it is? My wife's phone isn't de bloated so I can try turning some of the apps off on her phone to see what they do.

Ver 4.4.4_026

Thinking of taking the plunge and using this for my S5. First phone in 10 years that I haven't rooted and done a custom ROM on. Had an OTA last week to 4.4.4 and not sure if this will work . . . really don't want to try and fail . . . anyway, does anyone know if this will work? Also, in terms of backing everything up, I've been using My Backup on previous phones but obviously can't until rooted. Is there a space between getting rooted and continuing with safestrap which would allow me to back things up before continuing? Is the automatic back up that comes with the phone reliable?

TIA .. . I'm an old timer here when it comes to flashing but with all the efforts to prevent S5 users from being able to have full use of their phones, I have been reluctant to try. . .
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Abeyance8o4:
Thanks for the offer... "findmymobile" works again now that I can add a Samsung account to the Security -> Remote Control portion of the phone. I reinstalled the following apk files:

/system/app/SamsungAppsWidget_Phone_Carrier_VZW.apk

/system/app/SamsungContentsAgent.apk

/system/app/SamsungSans.apk

/system/priv-app/SamsungLinkPlatform.apk

/system/priv-app/SamsungUpdates_K.apk

/system/priv-app/Samsungservice2_K.apk

and that fixed it. Maybe later tonight I'll try removing each one of them until I determine the only one I need.

You shouldn't lose a thing by rooting. All you will be doing is using Odin to flash an older, exploitable base kernel so that you can root. Then you use Odin again to refresh the current base kernel. It doesn't wipe anything.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] wireless_one:
Thanks for the reassurance on the BU...how about whether the rest of the tool will work with my updated version?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Abeyance8o4:
Yes, everything else in the toolkit works fine. I used it to de-bloat my phone and remove the Verizon boot image.

Basically, you'll want to install the towelroot app (but don't run it.... yet!). Then install Odin and the USB drivers on your PC. Download the NCG stock kernel and boot the phone in download mode. Then, use Odin to flash it [AP]. Reboot and then run the Towelroot app. Then reboot into download mode again and use Odin to put the NI2 kernel back on it.

better instructions are here

It's quick and easy. The toolkit will install the towelroot app for you. Just make sure you don't run it until you've downgraded the kernel. Sharpie503 did a nice job on this tool!
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] eggwardo:
Is it possible?

These last couple posts on here have me thinking. Would it be possible for the toolkit to do the downgrading and upgrading of the kernel? I don't know how the toolkit works it's magic, but it seems like if it can be used to change the boot image and install/uninstall stuff maybe it could do that too. Would make the whole process a little easier than using odin. One stop shopping. :confused:

I'm already rooted so this is just a thought I had. I'm not trying to give sharpie a bunch of work.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Abeyance8o4:
It's not possible because of the locked boot loader. Odin must be used to flash stock kernels. Everything that the Toolkit does can be accomplished using abd. Sharpie was just nice enough to do all of the legwork for us.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] mpetruzz:
I just got an s5 and am on the latest firmware, rooted. Will this toolkit debloat for me?? I'm planning on keeping it stock and just using xposed vs flashing a rom and just wanna get rid of all the crap. Thx.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] eggwardo:
Yes

Sent from my SM-G900V
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] mpetruzz:
When I ran it it just sat there after removing the bloat and I had to do a battery pull to get it to reboot. It seems to have removed everything. Is that normal or did I do something wrong?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] eggwardo:
It's been a while so I don't quite remember. But i imagine it needs to be in download mode. Did you use the toolkit to install busybox? You might need to do that first. And make sure superuser is up to date. There's actually a list of things in the OP of things to do before you start. Check all the stuff on that list.

When it works you'll see the apps being deleted on your computer screen.

Windows 8.1 Toolkit.exe disappearing

Apologies if this was addressed previously in the thread, I tried searching for it. I'm on windows 8.1 and when I download and extract the file the toolkit.exe will dissapear. I've selected unblock from properties and tried disabling macafee. Any ideas would be great. Thanks
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] eggwardo:
I used winzip on windows 8.1. Didn't have an issue.

Also, macafee is a scam, you can get the same protection for free from windows defender.

So I'd say use winzip and delete macafee. :)

I ran this on NI2 and it says unsupported. Again sorry if this was addressed in previous thread I didn't see it. Will NI2 be supported soon? Thanks for your work.

I doubt it.

I believe post 19 here still works. http://xdaforums.com/verizon-galaxy-s5/general/vzw-ota-4-4-4-pushed-t2872220/page2

Sharpie, maybe you should update the OP to show people they need to do this update then revert the kernel trick. Assuming it does still work.

I am both highly educated and also a newb in some respects. Emsisoft Emergency Kit detects this Toolkit (specifically lib/armeabi/libexploit.so as a potential threat. False positive? I am not totally freaked out but just thought I'd check.

i havent tried this but if op wants to incorporate my debloat script hes more than welcome!
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] :
This file is safe, no reason to be worried. The reason some anti- virus applications pick this up is because I do not have a licensed .exe creator. Also because TowelRoot is phone hacking software.

[LG Nitro HD] AlphaD1:
Ok so first off, been using XDA for a while now to root various things, you guys have always got me what I need to get things figured out on my own, I have never before this day had to request help and for that, you guys are legendary.

Now I am semi newbi here, I know whats what for the most part but I have a hard time holding information in my short term memory so I am sorry if I miss little things

On to the problem!

So I got an AT&T LG Nitro HD P930, on ebay, I then spent the better part of a day rooting it, took me a lot of work but I eventually got it rooted and all that jazz, everything was going great... but everything changed when the fire nation... wait no... when I put CM9 on it, that crashed quite often, so I put on CM11 to check that out, no Data, so I rolled back one to CM10.2, and still no Data.

Could I have missed something?

Edit:

I thought at one point the ImeI might have gotten pushed out, but I double checked that and it is there, I have noticed at times I look at the service and it says I have 4 bars and an E next to it like back in the 2G days, but rarely and I have not had it stay long enough to test the data but if I get the chance I will edit and leave what happened here.

Also to note, I do still get random crashes but I can live with that.

P.S.S. XDA Devs are the shiznit, thank you guys for many years of amazing rom's and HP Touchpad support, my tablet is nothing without you guys!

Have you checked you apn settings ?
[LG Nitro HD] AlphaD1:
Fixed it

I had read something about that and had a backup of my APN but it turns out you cant flash APN data after 4.0+ or some such nonsense.

In the end I managed to get the root to take hold after restoring it from unbrick up, now I have CM9 on it and it is working just shiny. so this thread can be deleted or closed or whatnot.

If anyone would like a step by step on what I did I would be glad to post it but I doubt anyone is interested.
[LG Nitro HD] AllstarE4:
Good thing you got it working. And CM9 was so nice and stable for the Nitro. I often think of reverting back to it just for its reliability.
[LG Nitro HD] ShadowOf:
I would appreciate you doing that. I'm on CM11 with no data.
[LG Nitro HD] AlphaD1:
Its been a while since I did it but I will see if I cant gather all the resources I used, but in the end what I had to do was re-brick it, reverted back to stock everything to recover and re-rooted it all again, then I just skipped CM11 and went back to CM10. Now I am in a whole new **** storm haha but thats a story for another time.

I have a slimport cable and it works great for connecting to my tv and watching stuff, but, I've just bought a new car which has a half decent screen in it (well, slightly better than the phone) and I know other android phone users have had video playing on that screen. to do it they need the phone to do all the processing (car screen to be just a dumb screen) and they use the car's usb input. So, I'm wondering ...is there any kind of slimport to usb instead of hdmi cable, or is there a male hdmi to male usb adapter that I could use to connect my slimport to the car usb slot? ideally something that's cheap as I won't know if it will work until i plug it in.

thanks for any ideas.

I know WIFI Calling won't work since their roms obiously don't have that built in ?? Voice over LTE ??? We will lose this also Correct ??? Will everything else work ? calls/messages/mms/etc etc I'm more than happy with my tmobile Rom at the moment works flawlessly just trying to have this as an information Thread ? for future reference and other people that may be wondering the same thing ????
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] mahanddeem:
The closest Galaxy S5 to the international one is the T-Mobile version G900T(basically the same device)

It's been said here that you can flash international on this device but you have to keep T-Mobile radio for LTE in the USA.

You'll loose Wi-Fi calling and HD voice for sure because those are not on the international roms.

I hope that helps.
