Hello!

Thanks for your time helping everyone with a SM-G906S.

Rather than upgrading from OS v5.0.1 to v6.0.1, is there a newer version of OS 5 available? I don't want to lose functionality already available, have issues with compatibility, etc.

Also, what is the most *reliable* method of Root for this Galaxy S5 device?

Thanks!
[Galaxy S 5 General] flipmode_11:
Hmmm weird. I have "Olleh" on the back of my SM-G906S...? :/ :\ :| :? :[

Does that make mine KT Telecom instead and not SK Telecom??

I have just been using BK Disabler to disable ALL core Korean (SKT) apps. :) Simple.

Just have to use Titanium Backup or something else instead with ROOT.

Device not restarting after root

Hello I am using SM-G906S I have used your method of rooting after rooting done from odin my device shows

RECOVERY BOOTING ...

RECOVERY IS NOT SEANDROID ENFORCING

Set Warranty Bit: recovery

but nothing is happening after that.

plz, help me.

{Update}

I am reading the previous post and found out people have the same problem.Some geek gives them the answer but my model is different what will I do now.I was using android 6.0.1. I was rooting my phone using odin and this file CF-Auto-Root-lentislteskt-lentislteskt-smg906s . And I also had some type of recovery before rooting... like after my phone shutdown when I press volume up + home button and power key it shows something like recovery.I don't know that all I am new to android.

You don't use CF-Auto-Root with CPL1, only with older firmware ending in CPF2.

---------- Post added at 07:09 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:07 AM ----------

Basic instructions on how to root stock CPL1 firmware without CF-Auto-Root:

The g906 has an official TWRP recovery (3.1.0-0) now courtesy of [MENTION=3419717]cvxda[/MENTION]: https://dl.twrp.me/lentislte/twrp-3.1.0-0-lentislte.img.tar.html

1. Save the TWRP tar file to your PC.

2. Download the latest SuperSU 2.79 R3 zip file: https://download.chainfire.eu/1021/SuperSU/SR3-SuperSU-v2.79-SR3-20170114223742.zip?retrieve_file=1.

3. Transfer the SuperSU zip file to your SD Card. (Settings--> Security --> Uncheck Unknown Sources)

4. Boot into Download (Odin) mode. (How to use Odin just in case: http://updato.com/how-to/how-to-install-an-official-samsung-stock-firmware-using-odin)

5. Flash the TWRP tar file using Odin (AP button, same for firmware).

6. Boot into recovery (TWRP) and install SuperSU zip. (In TWRP tap Install, up a level, external sd card, choose SuperSU zip file, swipe to flash.)

7. Reboot from TWRP.

If your phone shuts off during reboot. Pull the battery for 30 seconds, reinsert your battery, and turn on your device. It should boot into your stock rom, fully rooted.

You're looking at a stock recovery, the one that comes with the phone. You have to install TWRP first using Odin (https://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=3804544&d=1467772303). If you power off, then boot into recovery, you'll see the Install option at the top left.

I wished I had seen this earlier. But no biggie. I used the previous Super User that was working - BETA-SuperSU-v2.74-2-20160519174328

For xposed,

I installed xposed-v87.1-sdk23-arm-custom-build-by-wanam-20161125.

Also, the official link to download the latest apk is not working so I searched for xposed version 3.1.1 from the net.

Everything works. Gravity Box is the main reason for xposed for me since I can reprogrammed the hardware keys (I still like the menu button) and it gives me the added Last App switch that is only just came out on Android Nougat.

My hp was on CPF2, but with this latest rom, it feels a bit faster. Perhaps it is still new and not bogged down by my many apps yet.

You may be able to install the stock firmware with Odin if nothing else works. I originally followed these instructions in this thread for my Korean G906S:

After months of use last night I installed LineageOS using TWRP (G906SKL_TWRP_3.0.2-2.tar is the version I had installed.) on top of my rooted stock firmware and am using it now. Possibly install TWRP again with Odin, but I'm just guessing. I'd wait for someone more knowledgeable than me to reply here before trying this.

[Galaxy S 5 General] bud7dha:
You need the latest TWRP: https://dl.twrp.me/lentislte/twrp-3.1.1-2-lentislte.img.tar.html

Flash it through odin. Do a factory reset and reinstall LineageOS 14.1.

Root with the official su addon or flash the latest SuperSU. (If you need systemless, go for Magisk 12 - not 13).
[Galaxy S 5 General] phamanhvu01:
Stupid question, is it possible to use the G906S' stock MM ROMs on the G906K model? Since both are pretty much the same phones, and siimply because the stock boot animation on the K model sucks big time (and the one from the S model looks soooo much better). Thanks in advance ^.^
[Galaxy S 5 General] bud7dha:
Sure; they're the same except one of the LTE bands is different - can't recall which one. More bloat though. If you're running LOS or RR, why bother?
[Galaxy S 5 General] phamanhvu01:
I'm running stock MM actually, can't stand the suckish camera on RR. Thanks for the info anyway ^^

[Galaxy S 5 General] Maverick923:
I have the G906S. It was working on T-Mobile perfectly for nearly a year since I got it. Then all of a sudden it would not connect to the network. Somehow I got it to connect again, but then the same thing happened.

The phone reads the sim, but I get out of service and network unknown when I check the status. I do see my phone number so I know the sim is being read. I had MetroPCS do activation with a MetroPCS sim, and they were able to activate it, but I still had the same issue. I checked the IMEI, and the IMEI is clean.

The phone will connect to AT&T, but not T-Mobile. I have upgraded, downgraded, factory reset, changed bands, and changed modems. Nothing seems to work.

Really not sure where to look for this issue as I have never had it before. I would really appreciate some help or info on this issue.

[Galaxy S 5 General] The7Suggester:
I to am the owner of the SM-G906S S5 - a phone almost entirely forgotton about

In the past when i had a problem not being able to successfully flash either an OS or a custom recovery (either PhilzTouch Recovery or TWRP)

then i used the Windows app Heimdall to flash the .PIT file

I am on the native Samsung/Android Marshmellow v6.0.1

This is a list of the files you will need & links i can provide myself:

Simply googling these exact filenames should provide you with the needed download links:

G906SKSU1CPK2_G906SSKC1CPK2_SKC.zip - MarshMellow v6.0.1

G906S_LENTISLTE_KOR_OPEN.pit.zip/ - S5 SM-G906S .PIT File

https://service-gsm.net/Samsung/G906S/SM-G906S_LENTISLTE_KOR_OPEN.pit.zip/

You need to register here on this site in order to download the .PIT file

https://glassechidna.com.au/heimdall/

Use THIS WINDOWS APP to flash the .PIT file - in extreme cases this is the _only_ windows app that can

flash what the windows app 'Odin' cannot - rare, but i have personally found Heimdall to be an invaluable emergency app

for flashing in rare circumstances.

After successfully partitioning your phone with the .PIT file using heimdall, you can then rely on using good 'old Odin app again for normal operations

I should say that i have no interest in using the DOS prompt commands line version of heimdall, I have only used the Windows GUI interface version,

its all thats needed

If you need any help in using it, please just state
[Galaxy S 5 General] tlcd:
The7Suggester thank you so much for this good news. I will try what you said and post the results here. I have completely updated my post above because I have forgotten that I put the tick on reactivation lock some time back & now I have to deal with that too. I have tried a couple of new things after I remembered it. I found some posts from users who have left their G906 phone's reactivation lock on when their phone got bricked & their solution was to flash TWRP. According to what they say TWRP can access and disable the tick. I will appreciate it if you can go through my updated post above and make new suggestions if you have any. Meanwhile I will do what you said & get back with an update. Thanks again much.

SM-G906 S\K\L PIT Files for KitKat 4.4.2 ANK1

I was searching for 4 file recovery firmware with PIT file to solve my G906S issues & came across these PIT files but not the recovery firmware.

Remembered reading a lot of posts here that you guys are also searching for PIT files. So here are the pit files.

I tried to attach these files to this post but there are no options to do that. Hence I'm posting the URLs.

G906S pit file did not give me any error when I flashed it with ANK1 stock firmware.

Odin v3.12.3 completed everything without any errors.

Hope these pit files are useful to you guys.

Good luck.

SM-G906S Soft Bricked with Boot Loops & Re-activation lock on

hi The7Suggester, I downloaded the PIT file as you said and before diving into Heimdall, I tried to flash PIT + Stock ANK1 using Odin v3.12.3 and completed successfully. Odin did not give any errors what so ever. I think the previous pit file I used, mentioned in my long descriptive post, must be a faulty one. That must be why Odin failed to flash it. This time everything went good with Odin. Here are the results......

1----But my phone still boot loops.

2----CANNOT go into recovery mode & CAN go into download mode with battery power. When plugged into a wall power outlet only can go into both modes.

3----I REMOVED SIM CARD and booted into recovery mode while phone is connected to wall power outlet. Cleared the cache & factory reset the phone & rebooted. PHONE BOOTED INTO OS and came to language selection page. Turned on the WiFi, logged into google, logged into Samsung a/c, did the initial setting up & came to home page & I thought I fixed this damn thing & just as I went to disable the re-activation lock in the security settings phone abruptly shuts down & boot loop happens again.

4----From that point on wards the same old happens. Boot Loops. Phone sometimes, when connected to wall power outlet, after factory resetting and cache clearing, boots into initial language selection page of OS (with SIM CARD on ) & shuts down & boot loop continues.

5----Something NEW happened. There was a KOREAN counter appeared a couple of times when I tried to boot the phone to OS. This counter is completely in Korean language & at three different times counted to 101 & 60 & 137. After the counter finish phone boot loops. Any idea, anyone, what that is????

If I had used Heimdall to flash the pit, is it the same task as above performed by Odin?? After these results with Odin do you still want me to try it. If so please let me know.

Anyone else who knows how to fix this also are welcome to make your suggestions. I need all the help I can get.....

Thanks much to all who have and will help.

UPDATE:

Tried to install TWRP 2.8.7.0_PORT_V3.img using Heimdall with new PIT from my above post. Heimdall failed giving this error.

Initialising connection...

Detecting device...

ERROR: Failed to access device. libusb error: -12

What do I do next?

UPDATE:

I again flashed ANK1 with the pit file for G906S from above post. Odin completed the flashing without any errors. Reset the phone & cleared the cache & When I tried again to boot, phone booted into os and I did the initial wifi setting up, google & samsung account setup (re-activation lock is not an issue since I have my user name and passwords for my Samsung account) & came to the home page and in a little while after restoring contacts list from the Samsung cloud server & downloading the initial apps like S Health etc, phone again shuts down and boot loop happens. ???????????????

SM-G906S Soft Bricked with Boot Loops & Re-activation lock on...PLEASE HELP - SOLVED

According to 2nd issue I suspected a battery problem and I got it checked. Battery had a bad cell and I replaced the battery. Now boot loops stopped. Then trying to boot the phone it gave the following error message in Korean which I translated into English using google translator.

[IMG="Galaxy S5 SM-G906S Partition Corrupted"]https://i.imgur.com/y7tZSqt.png[/IMG]

I tried with clearing cache & resetting data but it did not work. After reading about partition corruptions, I used the PIT file from my above post and flashed it with stock ROM using Odin. Everything went well & phone is now working just like new.
