Hi,

I have a problem with my S5 and I was wondering if I could find any help in this forum. Excuse me for my English and if I am not posting in the correct section, is my first time in the forum.

I live in Lima, Peru and I recently bought an Unlocked Samsung Galaxy S5 model G900W8 from GSM Nation in the USA.

I choose this version of the S5 since it was unlocked for the bands in which my operator (Claro) works here in Peru (2G: 1900Mhz, 3G:850Mhz and 4G: 1900Mhz (Band 2)).

When the phone arrived, I just changed my microSIM card from my old phone to the S5 and it worked without any problem, I was able to make calls and navigate normally. But since my plan was only a 3G plan (since my old phone didn't support 4G) I decided to upgrade to a 4G plan. I went to make the change and my carrier informed I also needed a new microSIM to use a 4G plan, and I did so. But when I plugged in the new microSIM the phone it doesn't work. It shows the message "Emergency calls only" and when I try to call it shows "Not registered on network". I called my carrier for support and they said they have already made the change and activated the new microSIM and that they can't give me any further support since they only sell the Galaxy S5 G900M with their plans.

I don't know what is causing this problem, but I think it must be something related to my carrier that is blocking my phone to access their network but only with the 4G plan and microSIM.

Thanks in advance for your help.
[XDA Assist] Darth:
Hi there!

If I had to guess, I'd say its 1 of 3 things,

1. An account problem with your carrier.

2. Your APN setting for the new 4g network are not right or missing. You'd have to find out from your carrier what they should be.

3. Simply a bad sim card.

All of those need to be discussed with your carrier though.

However, feel free to ask in the S5 Questions and Answers section. Perhaps someone there can offer other ideas.

I have CID Unlocked my 8125 and upgraded numerous times. In my playing around with the roms and Cingular Ext Rom cabs i found an intersting abberation. No matter what Rom I use if I the cingular 1.08 extended Rom cabs and install them on my 8125 and Run one cab in particular. it is the Signed_gprsstall.cab.sa. Then I flash my radio ROM twice. I then have 4 bars of reception just about anywhere i go. For example on of our stores we normally get 0-1 bars of reception, but when i do the above mentioned process I get 4 bars at the cost of a little more battery power. But when i do this I cannot use the wifi. I click on the wifi icon in the connection manager and it thinks for a little bit then goes back to the icon with the x in it. Anyone got any ideas?? Like the extra power but want to use wifi.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] Dr Puttingham:
I seem to remember sumitter mentioning something about him leaving that particular cab out of his ROM's due to that WIFI issue...
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] barrydavisjr:
I have been searching for days on wifi issues. I tell you the trade off is almost worth it. I find it very interseting quirk how the wifi doesn't work but the reception of the phone is increased. I wish i knew more about it to find out why it happens like that.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] rottie:
I don't use Wifi at all having unlimited data tariff, and the reception where I live is absolutely terrible- most of the time no signal at all.

Is it possible to install that cab and then uninstall it somehow without the hard reset? If I need to use wifi abroad etc.

Could someone please post it here?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] barrydavisjr:
If you go to the FTP and go to wizard page and the Extended Rom. Look for the Cingular_8125_108EXTROM. download it and unzip it and look for the Signed_gprsstall.cab.sa. You will then have to falsh your radio twice. I reccomend Summiters 2.17 and then the wizard 2.25. I have not been able to figure out how to disable it through the registry. I don't know what settings that it is playing with. Each time i had to hard reset to remove the problem.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] rottie:
Too much hassle with hard reset and reinstalling everything...Can't be bothered then, even for improved reception...

Noone calls me anyway;)
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] barrydavisjr:
Drives me nuts. I never use wifi but i always want everything to work perfectly though.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] barrydavisjr:
I found the file that causes the conflict but have not been able to remove or correct it. When you install the gprsstall cab it installs a file rilgsm.dll. When i renamed it through the active sync for a brief moment the wifi appeared again until Windows automatically duplicated the file and put it back on.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cm0002:
Hello everyone,

I was wondering if there was a way to flash aboot.mbn to the aboot partition.

I have tried Heimdall however it does not seem to be compatible with the s5 yet and odin v3.09 and v1.85 also gives me problems and thus far have been unable to flash it. I have also tried the dd command from and android terminal emulator

dd if=/storage/extSdCard/aboot.mbn of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p6

which also did not work and i do not believe that mobile odin can flash aboot either.

So my question is is there any other way to flash aboot or am i stuck until heimdall updates compatibility?

i am on G900T s5.

Thank You.

Hello; I have rooted my phone, but during the process, I forgot to save and backup my recovery partition. Now, my recovery contains TWRP instead of stock HTC recovery. The issue is that it prevents the stock ROM from aplying updates.

I would need either, a backup clone of a stock recovery (in dd, cat, of afstboot format), or, a method to apply the update from TWRP recovery ...

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anticloud:
my experience

sometimes, i get caught in a bootloop too. I usually find that the /data partition is whacked thus either stuck at boot or bootloop.

so, if I pull the battery and get it to go into recovery and factory reset it rebuilds the /data partition.

the more extreme case, if i had an earlier pre NC2/NC4 build, where there was no recovery partition - I had to follow the instructions earlier in this thread, grab the pit file and MJE tar, and practically start over.

so, be cautious about whacking the /data (and / or /cache) partitions -

related but unrelated - has anyone offered a bounty for unlocking the bootloader on note 3, with a bonus round going to the developer who can figure out how to position the phone to be able to flash NC2 after having flashed NC4...
