[Galaxy S 5 General] Platypus123:
If you are on stock 5.0.1, first flash Philz's CWM recovery with the ODIN program. Once you have the CWM recovery booted, flash the latest stable SuperSU (at time of writing it's 2.78).

This original thread is over two years old so the info is dated.

As per [MENTION=7661736]DawidWarsaw[/MENTION] at http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=68243057&postcount=2719:

If you are looking to continue to run stock 6.0.1 but want a custom recovery and root, then flash the 3.0.2-2 TWRP in Odin, and then SuperSu through the TWRP.

No need to bother with CF Autoroot as the steps above will do the same for you.

thanks for the help bro i cant thank you enough

my phone is rooted

besides do you know any good rom for g906s which is stable ??
[Galaxy S 5 General] Platypus123:
Not a problem. Glad I could help! It was a learning experience for me too when I got my phone a month ago (with a LOT of trial and error).

I prefer AOSP-based ROMs over TouchWiz (I tried stock on my G906S for a while and hated it), so I'm currently running the latest Mokee nightly. I don't think it's maintained anymore by the developers (with the exception of the generic OS patches). You'll likely have to install a third-party camera app (I use Open Camera) as the stock camera app on Mokee is not stable and keeps crashing. I am not aware of any Marshmallow ROMs for this device other than Mokee and stock TouchWiz.
[Galaxy S 5 General] have0:
Thanks downloading it atm

So this is the only stable rom available for g906s

Or are there other options too .?

---------- Post added at 02:04 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:51 PM ----------

Stock touch wiz rom which have korean keyboard and other korean apps

Besides i am gonna install mokee like this

Boot into twrp

Wipe>advance wipe> system,data,cache, delvik wipe

Install>mokee>gapps

And clear delvik and cache

Reboot device
[Galaxy S 5 General] have0:
ok now mokee rom cause bootloop

with this error

"kernel is not seandroid

warranty bit : kernel "

:((((
[Galaxy S 5 General] mwice:
I beleive by flashing CF_autoroot you flashed some old incompatible kernel also. Try to flash stock rom to recover, or extract from stock and flash kernel only if you know how.
[Galaxy S 5 General] Platypus123:
Mokee won't install with TWRP and won't install with a Marshmallow bootloader. It will only work with a Lollipop bootloader. Here are the steps:

1. Reflash stock 5.0.1 with Odin and make sure you select the update bootloader option;

2. Flash Philz CWM recovery for G906S;

3. Flash Mokee 6.0.1 in CWM;

4. Flash GAPPS in CWM;

5. Boot into ROM at least once;

5. Flash SuperSU in CWM.
[Galaxy S 5 General] have0:
can you please give me link for a suitable CWM recovery

last i tried flashing cwm and ended up with error
[Galaxy S 5 General] Platypus123:
You have to flash back to stock 5.0.1

first

and make sure you update the bootloader before you flash CWM.

Download link for CWM for G906S is here.

wow that was really help full

your help is really appreciated thanks again for all this

i have installed successfully mokee rom the only problem is that google play is not working any more

its giving error of no wifi or cellular network is connected

i have cleared data and cache of google playstore and google play services but still no luck
[Galaxy S 5 General] Platypus123:
That's odd. Are any other Google apps working or are they all having issues? Which GApps file did you use?
[Galaxy S 5 General] have0:
there was some host file issue

i deleted host file and play store started working again

although skype is not working on this rom

besides are there any more rom for this device ??
[Galaxy S 5 General] Platypus123:
You seem to be correct about Skype. It's not working for me either...

Other than stock Touchwiz and Mokee, there don't seem to be any official ROMs for 6.0. I saw some others here on XDA that were Lollipop-based though, if you're willing to go back an Android version. That being said, I did see some people were able to port some Note 4 ROMs over, but that seemed like a lot of work.
[Galaxy S 5 General] bud7dha:
Mokee has a few annoying bugs that will never be fixed for the g906. The Note 4 roms (that can be ported) are all TW mods, if you can successfully port one. [MENTION=4631026]kardinal969[/MENTION] made an autoporter to assist users in doing so. http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s5/development/n7-n4for-t3474890. LP roms are dead, and without doze, most were battery drainers with the exception of [MENTION=5441270]kykint[/MENTION]'s Naraewiz Rom. http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s5/development/rom-naraewiz-s5-broadband-lte-t3314813. IMO stock KK ran much better on our device than stock LP.

What I started doing a couple of months back was taking our stock MM firmware and modifying it to my liking (e.g., rooting, deknoxing, debloating, etc.) using at [MENTION=6350858]ASSAYYED[/MENTION]'s kitchen. http://xdaforums.com/chef-central/android/best-android-roms-editor-assayyedkitchen-t3410545. In 20 or 30 minutes, you can flash a stock-based rom and install a 3rd party launcher to mask the TW UI - stable and customized just for you, even skype should work ;).
[Galaxy S 5 General] defroster:
I have a 906k running stock 6.0.1 but loaded down with bloat - is there a nice clean Rom somewhere WITH FULLY FUNCTIONING CAMERA, I don't hate touchwiz, I'll take it in order to get proper camera functionality.

Or should I just install twrp as root and use tibackup to strip out the garbage?

Or is 7.1 on the horizon for is 906k users soon?
[Galaxy S 5 General] bud7dha:
Install TWRP, root, and use TiBU to remove the garbage. Stock camera works fine.

The g906 will not see official Nougat support; the best you can hope for is a few more security patched 6.0.1 firmware releases. This device is pretty much EOL as far as official support is concerned, and development was never prolific for the 906 compared to other S5 variants.
[Galaxy S 5 General] defroster:
Thanks! - it can't piggy back on other device roms with auto-porters? Or does that require dev support, custom kernels or other things that won't be updated? I just bought this to replace my note5 (hated how easily the screen got scratched and chipped) hoping it wasn't a mistake!
[Galaxy S 5 General] bud7dha:
There's an auto porter for Note 4 SD roms which should work for CPI2 based firmware but hasn't been updated to CPK2 yet. http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s5/development/n7-n4for-t3474890 There's no custom kernel though. Too bad about the fragility of your Note 5, as I think the S5 is a step backward even though the g906 has the best specs of all of the S5 variants. Development for this device has been wanting for a while now.
[Galaxy S 5 General] anggertsu:
how can i use Odin when my phone always stuck and won't load into recovery mode?
[Galaxy S 5 General] defroster:
OK So I'm on stock, fairly happy after debloating but there's one big issue - phone network connectivity.

It's a G906K and I'm in australia on vodafone and kept getting roaming messages whenever I'd move rooms, I deleted customer.xml and tried the *#0011# menu thing (was already on auto) and the notifications have gone away but the signal/connection seems dodgy (only 2G connection i think, no data seems to come through).

Is there a modem/apn mod/customer.xml I should be using?

If I can just get this last (admittedly pretty important) bit working I'll be happy with the phone at last.

edit: oh, after renaming customer.xml I get "com.andoid.phone has stopped" when trying to access More Networks > Mobile Networks.
[Galaxy S 5 General] saman_rm:
hi

replace all file in zip file to the correct directory and check permission and then restart your phone (your phone must be rooted)
[Galaxy S 5 General] defroster:
Thanks! I set permissions rw-, r--, r-- and put them in what I ascertained to be the correct folders, if I couldn't find reference to them I put them in /csc/ - mobile networks settings menu doesn't crash now so that's an improvement! However I'm still only getting 2G and a popup that goes something like "roaming can cost up to 20000 Won per minute" (!?) - the rom has an olleh (or alleh?) logo on boot. I'm wondering if I should try one of those band unlocking tutorials but they're pretty complex.

I don't think the eBay seller will take the phone back now that it's rooted :/

Edit: the seller is saying to do a factory reset but there's no way that would help is there?

Edit edit: so yes there is a constant message saying "you have lost data connectivity because you left your home" EVEN THOUGH ROAMING IS TURNED ON :/

I'm selling 906K now, if anybody is interested.

[Galaxy S 5 General] iceman0826:
So from the way it sounds, it is not advisable to purchase this device anymore? I'm still rocking with my Galaxy S3 E210S and it is now struggling with the latest games, like Mobile Legends, Dawn of Titans and CSR2. And here I was hoping that this device will be my next best purchase (I just saw a 2nd Hand S5 Prime (G906S) at 160 Dollars only). :( Guess I need to step up my budget and buy a 2nd hand Note 4 Snapdragon :(
[Galaxy S 5 General] bud7dha:
Stock marshmallow is fine on either device (Korean S5 or Note 4) and provide the higher hardware specs you desire. However, if you want more rom customization and can swing the higher price tag, try to get an N910f (International version). I'd stay clear of the Korean variants ending in S/K/L for either the S5 or Note 4. Some of the Korean Note 4's come with Exynos and not Qualcomm.

$160? I sold my wife's SHV-E250K (Galaxy Note 2) for that not so long ago. Seems too good to be true.

Have you thought about an OP3 (or 3T) or ZTE Axon 7? For $400, you might as well get one of those if you can - near S7 specs for half the price. XDA seems to be enamored with OP3 / OP3T - tons of custom options and dev support.
[Galaxy S 5 General] iceman0826:
But I just find the Korean Variants much more potent than their international version siblings, it's just really sad that Samsung didn't unify their release versions. :( I can deal with the stock marshmallow roms, as long as it is an optimized one (doesn't contain bloatwares, disabled/removed knox and other tweaks).

Yes, the $140 - $160 deal is true. Albeit these deals are available in the Philippines >>

https://goo.gl/odHndm

https://goo.gl/sEHOi2

Yep, I was thinking about the OP3T too, since it does have a healthy ROM support from the devs. But I find it hard to justify buying any $250 and above phones, since I better off saving it for a much needed PC upgrade (waiting for AMD Ryzen hehe) :D

If there are good stock ROMs available (tweaked stock Roms) for Galaxy S5 Prime then, I still gonna reconsider buying this phone :good:
[Galaxy S 5 General] bud7dha:
Well, the stock firmware is there in all of its bloated glory, but I'm sure you can root, debloat, and tweak it to your liking with minimal effort. Besides, TiBU for debloating there are two decent, active kitchens that will allow you to customize the original firmware on windows or linux with relative ease. The g906 has to be rapidly approaching EOL in terms of new firmware releases, so I wouldn't expect official support beyond 6.0.1 security patches. For $160 you could squeeze a year, perhaps two, before having to upgrade to another device. That said, custom rom development for this device has pretty much come to an end on xda. Therefore, rom customization for a Korean S5 has largely become a DIY affair for power users.
[Galaxy S 5 General] iceman0826:
Well, thanks for this advice! I'll stretch my budget a little and buy a Note 4 instead. :good:
[Galaxy S 5 General] bud7dha:
Man, a few weeks ago, Umi had a sale on the Plus E for $199. The specs can't be beat for a new phone at that price, even though it's Mediatek. Anyway, if you get an n910s/k/l, make sure it has the Qualcomm chipset; the n916s/k/l, the best Note 4 regarding benchmark testing, has the Exynos chipset - zero dev support for that outside of gaining root.
[Galaxy S 5 General] lesliex:
I'm trying to root my G906S without much luck. Could you guys point me in the right direction?

It has the lastest firmware CPK2 and Android 6.0.1

I tried CF-Autoroot with no luck, probably because the firmware supported is the previous one (CPF3)

But I got the message "recovery is not seandroid enforcing" so I used TWRP to fix that

I tried TWRP, using Odin it flashes with no problem, my cellphone was back online, but when I boot in recovery the default Android recovery menu is shown. I used the 2.1 and 2.2 versions with no luck.

I am thinking about downgrading the firmware. Downloading the CPF3 firmware (via sammobile) and flash it, then use the CF-Autoroot for this version to root the device. What do you guys think?

Thanks!!
[Galaxy S 5 General] legedug01:
Download CPF3 from sammobile. Flash with odin. Flash twrp with odin. Go to twrp rec and flash supersu.zip.

U R done.

Flash G906SKL_TWRP_3.0.2-1.tar that's what worked for me in the firmware CPK2
[Galaxy S 5 General] bud7dha:
I have the g906s with CPK2 firmware and TWRP 3.0.2-2. When you flash TWRP in Odin, you have to make sure that auto reboot is unchecked. After successfully installing TWRP, I flashed SR3-SuperSU-v2.78-SR3-20161103171345.zip to gain root. The stock recovery replacing TWRP never became an issue for me. However, stock MM is basically the same whether it's CPF3 or CPK2.
[Galaxy S 5 General] lesliex:
Thank you that work out perfectly!!! My phone is now rooted.

Stuck at Kernel is not SEAndroid Enforcing

I tried flashing it on my G906L running on Android 6.0.1. I get stuck at "Kernel is not SEAndroid Enforcing" at it doesn't restart automatically just like what you said. So I flashed G906SKL_TWRP_3.0.2-2.tar and it turned on again.

How can I root it successfully?
[Galaxy S 5 General] bud7dha:
You only need stock firmware, TWRP, and SuperSU to gain root. There is no stable custom kernel for the g906 on 6.0.1. [MENTION=6469318]CallMESuper[/MENTION]'s kernel (released May, 2016) was a quick fix to gain root when MM first rolled out months ago.

1) Install the latest stock firmware through Odin (or do a factory reset).

2) Return to Download (Odin) mode and install [MENTION=5441270]kykint[/MENTION]'s TWRP 3.0.2-2 https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0B7E8Z1hIdBEOSElCRWNrOFpzTlE&usp=sharing#list

(You will need G906SKL_TWRP_3.0.2-2.tar)

* Be sure to untick the auto restart option in Odin when you install TWRP.

3) When TWRP is finished installing, pull your battery.

4) Re-insert your battery and boot into TWRP.

5) Flash the latest stable SuperSU zip https://download.chainfire.eu/1021/SuperSU/SR3-SuperSU-v2.79-SR3-20170114223742.zip?retrieve_file=1

I have been reading this thread trying to see if I can install xposed on my g906s.

I am running the latest stock 6.0.1 ROM build CPL1. I have TWRP installed, and rooted with SuperSu.

I keep reading that if I flash xposed with a stock samsung ROM installed, I will enter a boot loop. Is this true? Are you using a stock Samsung ROM? What version of xposed and framework did you install?
[Galaxy S 5 General] bud7dha:
[MENTION=3562083]wanam[/MENTION]'s xposed framework will work although it's getting a bit dated.

https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=529152257862685344

Flash wanam's xposed framework and then install [MENTION=4419114]rovo89[/MENTION]'s xposed installer.

http://dl.xposed.info/latest.apk
[Galaxy S 5 General] scarletwahoo:
Thank you! In case anyone with the same question searches for this, I'm just confirming that this install of xposed works with the latest stock 6.0.1 ROM build CPL1, with no issues.

I first installed G906SKL_TWRP_3.0.2-2.tar via odin, a note, to get this to work, you have to uncheck autoreboot in odin. When flashing is complete, press power+vol down+home, when system starts to reboot, quickly switch to power+vol up+home button. If you fail to do this, you will enter the stock recovery instead of TWRP, but can repeat the process until it works.

I then installed SuperSU v2.79 via TWRP by placing the zip on a flash card. After this, I used TWRP to first install xposed framework, and then installed the xposed installer mentioned in your post.

G906

Pleased to inform you, that the G906s / G906k are are 99.99% physically compatible with the regular GS5.

- Battery / Batteries

- Charging Qi Back Cover

- Flip Case (both regular & Qi charging)

- Gear2 smart watch w/samsung gear app!

- same exact screen protectors

any thoughts??
[Galaxy S 5 General] bud7dha:
Architecturally, the g906 is closest to the Galaxy Note 4 (N910F/G); the second closest would be the g901f. The g900x phones have a different chipset and are not LTE capable:

g900t

Chipset	Qualcomm MSM8974AC Snapdragon 801

CPU	Quad-core 2.5 GHz Krait 400

GPU	Adreno 330

g906s

Chipset Qualcomm APQ8084 Snapdragon 805

CPU	Quad-core 2.5 GHz Krait 450

GPU	Adreno 420

The g906k is Olleh (KT Telecom); the g906s is SK Telecom. The stock firmware of each is basically interchangeable, and registering for either network in Korea is rather straightforward. The g906l is a bit of a different story though. If you want to change it back, just flash the latest stock firmware for the g906s through Odin. If you don't live in Korea, I don't see what difference changing the firmware will make.
[Galaxy S 5 General] scarletwahoo:
From my understanding, the phone only supports LTE bands 1, 3, 5, 7, and 17. And you have to enable them through service mode. T-Mobiles main LTE band is channel 4 and 12. ATT's main band is 17, and I was able to get LTE access by enabling band 17 on the phone with ATT.
