I downloaded the Rogers label for this update and clean flashed, but the CSC is Bell and I have Bell's apps. My phone was through Rogers and my GPS doesn't work any ideas? Did someone upload the wrong label and if I download Bell's BMC, will I get Rogers?
[Galaxy S 5 General] Spacemonkie4207:
I had the same issue when I first got my s5. I forgot how I fixed it. I think I flashed xtrestolite and selected BMC CSC in the aroma installer.

[Galaxy S 5 General] TiVa:
I know how to make these tar.md5 flashable files as I provided them before.

I just don't want to go the the hassle to test if these are compatibel with 5.0 custom roms. So flash at own risk!

I just extracted them for the community, but didn't test anything myself.

Probably because the S5 already had Kitkat, 4.2.2, but this was an upgrade to the latest release. Sad that there is no change log. Trying to get feedback here as to whether camera speed bug was fixed. All I know to date is that the radio is newer, CSC G900W8OYA1ANF3.
[Galaxy S 5 General] GibMcFragger:
Which camera bug? The horrendously slow speed when using picture stabilization? If that is what you are referring to, it's still slow with ANF3. I never tried it BEFORE the update, so I can't say if it's any FASTER than it was.

Would I be able to install this if I am rooted?

EDIT: I rooted with towelroot, still have stock recovery but have some root modifications such as Wanam. Will it brick my device if I update while rooted?

What I did was download the md5 file then Odin directly to the phone to update it with latest stock. Then re rooted it with chain fire, twrp, super user and all is perfect.

I've asked several times here but never got an answer from anyone which is leading me to be believe that there's no reason to even update to this version. There seems to be nobody that notices any significant differences from the ROM dated April (LU1AND1).

Did not lose Towelroot with the update, which I flashed today over 1AND1.

S Health issue

Is anybody having issues with S Health not launching after doing the update and installing Xposed Framework?
[Galaxy S 5 General] Idan73:
Yes. Build prop trick and clear app data no longer works for me, after self update app crashes. Meh, never use it anyways.

Only thing I noticed is in the settings now on tab view you can swipe between tabs. Finally.

On the other hand, compared to s4 they keep regressing name display feature (this not related to latest firmware, bit s5 canadian general) . Before in logs I could select caller and see name and phone number in history. Now only name shows, unless that caller sent you text message as well. Only way to see name callers phone number now, is to copy it to dialer, or just dial. Feature is crap compared to lgg2 implementation. Oh well.

If I did, you think we would be talking about towelroot?

Everroot triggers Knox or does not survive update. Either way I weary of using it on sgs5, cause I might not keep the phone for much longer so want to sell it with warranty.

The rest is as you say, just using Odin pc, and instructions for international firmwares in this section.

I'm only saying that flashing even full firmware with everroot might trigger Knox. If you are on rooted and flashing full firmware without everroot option, it should be fine. Or once you root with old kernel, I'm sure you can flash new one with mobile Odin without issue with knox.

What I seem to notice though is new one seems to be better at memory management, while former anf3 was seriously getting on my nerves, having some glitches while clearing memory, brought on by hovering dangerously close to full, having only one resource hog app throw it in emergency clear mode and lagfest.

Not sure if both of you guys ^ seem to know what you are asking for, or what you think will accomplish with bootloader only?

Generally as a rule, we're trying to stay away from updating bootloaders (there are at least 3 on samsung phones), unless we know they are safe and will not lock us down even further, or unless you come from other phone and are referring to kernel as a bootloader (in which case they have been posted some posts above.

[Galaxy S 5 General] Idan73:
So download tha full and1 firmware and flash. Then re-root. Bootloader is included.

Still fail to see what you might think to accomplish with just the bootloader flash.

Again, strongly suspect you are actually talking about kernel when you say bootloader. Or, plausibly, you are quoting full firmware version (they are available on the net from Sam firmware etc.

Not familiar with that particular app, especially when I can gleam that particular info from phone settings.

For example : boot.img is kernel, while aboot.mbn and others like that are the bootloader.

Heads up for Videtron's update:

The reason this was released was to support lte on the videotron network. Videotron just got lte as of last week - and the s5's on their network didn't support it until now. So it may not actually make much of a difference compared to other radio baseband/versions.

Fellas, I'm having an issue and wondering what I can do to remedy it. Here's what happened, in list form, with questions:

I installed XtreStoLite, ran it for a few hours, didn't like the fact that it rebranded my phone to a G900F (installed modem and bootloader ANJ1). Any reason why it did that?

I wanted to go back to stock, so I installed Puerto Rico ANJ1; a ton of Claro stuff showed up, even boot screen. What happened there?

That forced me to want to go back to a Telus ROM, installed Telus ANF3, and a bunch of Bell bloatware showed up. WTF?

Any way I can get back to pure Telus?

Just boot into recovery, wipe/factory reset, then back into download mode and Odin flash the ROM?

I would copy EVERYTHING you need off of the phone. Boot into recovery and wipe everything including internal storage (maybe even format your microSD after you've backed it up) then Odin the factory ANF3 Telus image and you will be fresh like a baby.
