Speed test after the update... I normally get 40 down/12 up... So this is a nice bump! :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] killa2009:
question, i am currently on stock rom which i rooted, what exactly do i need to do to update NF6?

do i flash firmware tar or rom tar?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] calvin35:
You would need the rom tar.

edit: you only need the rom tar if you want voice over lte.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] killa2009:
Why? Can you please explain. And do I have to reroot also if I update rom tar?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] calvin35:
I edited my original post. If you only want to update to latest firmware NF6, then flashing the firmware only tar will be fine. I'm not sure regarding root.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] aooga:
No, flashing the tar doesn't affect root.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] Docmjldds:
Sigh....took me the better part of the day to get Odin to update firmware to NE6. Have same issues now with this NF6. Yes, I know how to Odin. Yes I do this more than onme time in a row.Yes, i know how to pull battery, then key combo to Odin/download mode. I have tried every way to update firmware. Odin says reset, then pass as if it was successful. It says success1, failed 0. Yet no update shows in about phone or Samsung Info app. Don't know why this is so hard to do with the S5 vs any other model Samsung in the past. Mobile Odin doesn't work either. It gives the same message quickly in the TWRP recovery mode saying something about memory protection is blocking flashing. Maybe use Triangle Away to fix. Triangle Away has nothing to do with this.

Yes, I am on Odin 3.09. Going to keep plugging away, because I refuse to let this beat me. All hints welcome :fingers-crossed:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] pluginre:
Try using an older version of Odin. I used 3.07 and didn't have any problems
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] Docmjldds:
Thanks...Will give it a go. Strange how difficult this is. It really shouldn't be. Will get back.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] mike28:
I used Odin 3.9 aka beans ***** lol
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] Docmjldds:
Tried older version. Still NO UPDATE. Grrrr. I'm about to throw the phone across the room :(

Edit: turn your heads.....Sorry for the rotated pic. Just wanted to show it says passed but NO UPDATE
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] Docmjldds:
I am at a total loss. I did use PDA on the older 3.07 Odin. Yes???? or did you use phone. PDA is the norm at least I thought?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] jjlean:
Did you factory reset first.... ?

In the last update mine did that until I reset and then did odin.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] pluginre:
I checked pda. But I also unchecked f.reset time
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] Richcar:
Remove the stuff from your internal memory to your computer format your internal memory and try.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] aryehzev:
Will mobile odin work for nf6 stuff?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] das7982:
Does anyone show a baseband of NF6? My baseband still shows Ne6. Flashed all files correctly and only my build number shows NF6. Thoughts?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] 1iwilly:
while playing with the phone i found this in settings then call was this there before the update to turn VOLTE off/on.???
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] Docmjldds:
Welcome to the club. Build version will always be based on the ROM you have loaded, which is why you show NF6. Bet if you use Samsung Info app your Modem/baseband as well as Bootloader will still be NE6. I have tried all day working on this using every technique I have learned in the past 5 years of rooting. Bah hum bug :(

---------- Post added at 07:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:29 PM ----------

No...I didn't think to factory reset first. I haven't tried that. Nothing to lose. Thanks. Back soon. Gotta eat dinner and get away from this for a few.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] digitalfreaknyc:
That's the only way I got my internet capabilities back while I'm on the phone. I had to shut VOLTE off.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] gdmlaz:
Nope this came after the update........

Mines works fine with vol-over-lte turned on but i do have that feature working in my area already

---------- Post added at 11:05 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:03 PM ----------

Ur baseband hasn't flashed correctly then....... The best way i found of getting the baseband to stick is removing battery letting it sit for a couple seconds plug battery on and go straight into download mode....... From odin unclick auto-reset and flash again when is done flashing completely remove battery again let it sit for a little and power phone again....... That always does the trick for me
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] digitalfreaknyc:
I'm in NYC. It's supposed to be working here as well.

UPDATE: I pulled the battery and now it seems to be working ok. Doesn't change the other problems I was having either. But....*sigh*...just another day with the S5. Buggy as hell.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] Docmjldds:
HMMM...OK I just tried factory reset. I had high hopes that would work since it completed and instead of a delay time of two minutes before Odin went from reset to the yellow PASS screen, it was instantaneous. But nope...restored a nandroid and still on NE6. OK, I will copy contents of Internal to my PC and format the s*** (Pardon my French, but this is really weird) out of the phone and try again. I have a super wipe app from one of those International sites (I think it was the Phoenix ROM) that there OP used to swear by. I think I had to restore EFS to even get the phone working again, now that I think about that. Will just format system, data, cache, Dalvik, and Internal and give it a go.

Back in a few. Big reward to the first person that cracks this :cool:

EDIT: NOPE. This is REALLY REALLY starting to get frustrating.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] xda23:
Fast question on top of my phone next to the 4G Lte Icon there's a green & red arrow what is that green & red for? Thanks
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] Ian the Great:
This is Great.Volte is working well here in Dallas.

Also the modem itself is deffinately an improvement over previous versions.

Im picking up a decent,(2-3 bars) lte signal in my home. Before this i had to use 'lte only mode' to get 1 bar. Sometimes nothing.

If anyone is having trouble getting the modem to stick, try using Mobile Odin, like this:

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] fknfocused:
Hi guys! what are your download speeds on NF6 while on LTE?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] Docmjldds:
Finally NF6

Last effort as follows. Settings, backup and reset, chose Factory Reset. Have no clue as to why this would be any different then TWRP and formatting the 5 partitions mentioned earlier, but this time it worked. BTW, I also tried using Odin on the Odexed download to flash. I saw that it was also setup to flash the updated firmware this way. But again, in recovery I saw a quick message that stated memory protection is preventing flashing of firmware. So...for those having issues, I have no clue as to what this mysterious memory protection is in recovery, but whatever it is is causing havoc. Anyways, after using the factory reset option in Settings, I shutdown the phone since it wanted to auto reboot, by pulling the battery. I loaded up Odin again to flash the Firmware only file. Phone booted up, going thru the initial setup mode as if brand new. Quickly skipped thru everything to look and here's a screenshot of Phone info. So for everyone having issues, try the Factory reset from Settings, Backup Restore tab. Good night!!!!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] BeansTown106:
ya everything needs to be nf6 so best bet is to flash either odex or deodex and then flash the firmware only tar

i think you need to be connected to wifi calling for mms to actually go over wifi. that makes the most sense to me.

thanks i really appreciate it :)

anytime, thank you

ya this modem definitely seems faster

LOL u like that haha

thats the icons for VoLte

weird that u had such a problem. for me all i have todo is flash base rom then power off device. then boot into download mode with the button combo and flash with auto reboot unticked and it sticks everytime. but glad u got it figured out
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] xda23:
So that means that I'm getting volte service? Thanks
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] Docmjldds:
I think the key is actually what you just said. IOW, one MUST flash the base first, power off, use the button combo to odin/download and flash the firmware. And If I'm correct, then this maybe should be stated in the OP for updating.

I had an older NON BF6 ROM installed initially. It was an International ROM, the XNote v3. Did not matter how I formatted or what I formatted prior to attempting to upgrade the firmware. BUT...when I Odin flashed the full tar, that basically did part one...flash the new base. The base was installed but the firmware wasn't. It's just a coincidence I factory reset from settings. Because the next step, Part two was Odin/download installing the Firmware only.

Hope this explains my theory. I wrote down the order of things as I was trying all these methods and when I read your last to me, it made sense.

So, again, to update to the latest firmware, flash the new base first. Power off. Power on using the key combo (vol down,home,power) to Odin/download install the Firmware only file.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] gavilan2010:
Volte work great in houston area
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] killa2009:
How did you flash? I'm in houston too
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] Docmjldds:
You might want to test my theory which is basically a repeat of what Beans said to me. I posted this a few messages back.

<<Hope this explains my theory. I wrote down the order of things as I was trying all these methods and when I read your last to me, it made sense

This is based on some users including me flashing the firmware only file via Odin and not getting the upgrade to actually install, even though it appears that it was working. My theory is based probably on 10 hours of frustration getting the upgrade to work.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] gavilan2010:
I did a clean install.. Odin to stock them flash this rom work perfect test it with my friend he is in the same rom too
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] xda23:
Anyone does this mean that I'm getting volte service? Thanks In advance!!!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] mike28:
I think the whole volte thing is getting blown out of proportion it's a simple voice over lte option where the conversations go through lte.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] digitalfreaknyc:
Speakerphone is half-duplex, not full. :( When someone else is talking on the other end, they can't hear me until they're done speaking. Only one person can talk at a time.

It seems to be a problem with Tmobile only. I have friends on AT&T and Verizon and we tested it on theirs. It worked properly.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] killa2009:
I went to unzip new rom but didn't see tar? Does this mean I just flash in cwm
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] gdmlaz:
Regular ROMS made by developers are always flashed thru CWM/TWRP you only flash roms thru ODIN if they are from tmobile/samsung don't unzip just flash it regulary thru ur custom recovery
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] p-slim:
Not really, this is a big pet peeve of mine. I always try to use my phone right after a call and the time it takes to switch back from hspa+ to lte is annoying. H+ is significantly slower and half the time doesn't ping correctly. I never see the 4G icon anymore.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] mike28:
I have always been able to talk and surf without issues 4g stays after call is done
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] p-slim:
Correct but 4G is much slower than LTE, now we're on LTE the whole time and don't have to wait for it to switch back
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] fbueller:
It seems that setting ro.securestorage to false isn't working on this ROM. S-Health still fails when Xposed is active. :(
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] 808phoneaddict:
Just installed this rom, how do I see if I got volte here?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] Christopher3712:
It works fine. Uninstall the S-Health update, wipe data, and reinstall it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] fbueller:
Nope. Still FC's.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] Christopher3712:
This is after your build.prop edit and a reboot? It should open and prompt you for an update.

Edit: In the order I did it:

1) Installed the update over my NE5 build.

2) S-Health stopped working so I wiped the data and uninstalled the S-Health update.

3) I edited my build.prop, rebooted.

4) Opened S-Health and updated when prompted.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] chrisliphart:
Try using RootCloak in Xposed and hiding S Health.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] fbueller:
Killing the patient isn't a cure.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] chrisliphart:
I don't understand the issue. S Health runs with no issues, nor does it cause any issues with Xposed. It simply solves the issue.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] fbueller:
Sorry, misinterpreted your post. I hid S Health using RootCloak and it still FC's. :(
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] chrisliphart:
Did you clear S Health's data? Also, I have the build.prop modified (though it didn't fix S Health for me) simply because I never changed it back. Perhaps that will help.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] gdmlaz:
I had this problem for a while till i figured out how to fix it after being frustrated for a couple of hours trying everything lol.....

Update S-HEALTH

1st- fix build prop changing from true to false

2nd- open up Application Manager

3rd- Scroll to All Find HEALTHSERVICE-- CLEAR DATA NOT SHEALTH this is the main confusion

4- Restart and enjoy S-health again :P
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] xda23:
Hey guys let me get this correct if I flash this rom and odin flash the nf6 firmware I will get volte as long as it's available in my area? Thanks In advance!!!

The modem partitions have memory protections that can be engaged depending on what you are running on your phone. You need to have correct bootloaders, kernel, and recovery all lined up, and Triangle Away'd, otherwise they will not flash. System could play a part as well.

Not sure what the reasoning behind it is, but yes, it is annoying if it doesn't work and you need to use PC Odin, but sometimes it's just like that ...
