I have just tried out for you, guys: it's working for me (saved a wifi type location). It's on deodexed BOH4+BOH4+BoH4, xposed, luckypathcer (so we can't say, it's untouched :) )

Are bootloader and Modem BOI3 included? If no can anyone provide them please?
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] mauriicio21:
Included, full rom, bootloader, modem, system...

[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] Aegnor:
Yes, i flashed but modem still remain the same, not upgraded...usually in this case i can re-flash modem only but now how many times i have to re-flash stock rom in order to change it :p

I'll try extract modem.bin from that tar file, hope it works :)
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] mauriicio21:
Maybe modem didnt update from BOH4 > BOI3

I have 900M so i cant test, only upload [emoji23] [emoji23]

No i'm coming from KK, ANK1 modem, reflashing all rom did nothing so i'll try the modem.bin method in a few minutes :D

EDIT: First try, did the trick! :D

EDIT2: Now there is another problem, bootloader still remain ANK7...i found a guide for extract bootloader from a tar file but sboot.bin isn't inside it...

EDIT3: Did it by using Flashfire :p
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] KenHua:
Thank you for your response. I have a similar setup. Good to know that it works.
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] vaiosp:
According to Sammobile, BOI3 and BOH4 have the same Changelist number (5508620)??? Erm, how is that possible?? LOL :)
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] Aegnor:
Previous method didn't work for a user, so i give the procedure if someone needs.

Become a tester in flashfire xda thread (easily google it), download the app, copy BOI3 firmware in the phone, launch app (be sure to have root), select flash firmware, choose BOI3 one you have copied and let it scan, it should appear a box with what you want to flash, press on top of that box a little box that means backup (previous you'll see grey BL options), select three bl files and last modem files (if you didn't flash modem of course), let it backup in your sdcard, DON'T FLASH ANYTHING FROM FLASHFIRE, copy that tar file from phone to pc and install via Odin in AP section.
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] liamstears:
Is it just me or does BOI3 not have a bootloader in it? Does it just use BOH4 bootloader?

Currently in the process of deodexing and optimising BOI3 as I want to use it as my daily driver but want a bootloader...
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] Aegnor:
Follow my post before yours, you should have bootloader then, i spent some hours figuring out the same issue yesterday :p
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] liamstears:
very long winded

could you post the bootloader?
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] Aegnor:
I already tried with an other user in General section but he encountered an issue with md5 so i deleted the file because broken...well the procedure is not that long as you can imagine, so follow that guide or wait the official one comes by someone, don't reflash the rom in odin as bootloader won't change after (i also tried this) :)
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] maxdebesciak:
Unplug the battery for about 20 seconds, then start in download mode, flash - bl will update.

[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] liamstears:
I have extracted the rom, which file is bootloader? I thought it was sboot but there is no sboot...
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] Aegnor:
Inside new firmwares there's no sboot.bin, only .mbn files, that's why i used flashfire which provide join them into BL

---------- Post added at 02:43 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:42 PM ----------

Also tried this, i did it with flashfire, my phone always have problems flashing BL and CP at first trying so i managed by myself :)
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] TheNML:
For people who cant get viper4android to work, just freeze/delete SoundAlive and install it.
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] liamstears:
No problem will flash whole file

Just gotta wait for boot see if my devbase deodex attempt works :P

EDIT: How long first boot take for you guys?
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] Aegnor:
For me, only 2-3 minutes like all the time, but odex one of course :)
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] liamstears:
trying to boot just standard rom at the moment, just flashing whole rom through odin but 8 minutes stuck with Samsung screen and blue led on

EDIT: don't seem to be getting power on sound either, or it cuts it short and only hear very first part

Don't know what my problem was, very odd, restored with kies and phone is booting fine now

Just going to try my deodexed dev base now :P
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] Aegnor:
Weird, something happened for sure, did you wipe all in recovery before flashing it with odin :confused:
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] liamstears:
Yeh done this 100 times, think it may be to do with the repartition I had to do to run the UK EE rom but I repartioned again to no avail

Just need to get my devbase to boot now, so far no luck lol problems last time were with deodex so that's prob the problem again this time
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] xXx:
As I see you have so many trouble getting the BOI3 bootloader and modem flashed, here you get them as one tar file to be flashed via Odin. This tar includes bootloader and modem for the G900F

https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=39275

To be on the save side, unplug the phone, shut it down and pull battery for about 10 sec.

Load the downloaded tar file with the AP button in Odin

Boot your phone into download mode

plugin the USB cable

when your phone was detected by Odin click on the Start button

wait until flash process is finished. The phone will boot automatically when finished

You can check the bootloader and modem (baseband) version with Phone Info. App can be downloaded in Google Play Store
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] Aegnor:
Ok, good luck with your process, sorry because i can't help so further :(
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] liamstears:
Its booting fine :P I'm happy now thanks guys
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] Jack_Surfer:
Hi guys,

I'm on this ROM since 10 days now.

In some cases my voice is not properly hearible by the persons i talk to.

Can this be a problem with modem or kernel ??

I installed Boeffla-kernel yesterday, but see no difference.

Should I maybe install another modem to repair the issue ??

Maybe the new one for BOI3, like from this post:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=62789044&postcount=3051

Could you give me a hint or solution please, guys ??

Appreciate any help very much.

Jack
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] xXx:
I had the same experience a while ago and the issue was that there was quite some dust in the little whole where the microphone is located behind. It's located on the buttom of the device where you also find the USB port.

After cleaning everything worked fine again.
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] Jack_Surfer:
Hi xXx,

Really, so little issue ?? :/

What did you clean it with ?? Just blowing air on the little hole or with any kind of brush or something ??
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] xXx:
I always used a needle. I wouldn't use pressure air as this might turn the issue worse and damage the microphone. Just take care you don't push the needle to deep inside the hole.
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] Jack_Surfer:
OK. Thank you so much.

I'll take a shot.

Do you plan any BOI update of your base ROM (odex+deodex)?

Thanks

Hi [MENTION=5150393]_alexndr[/MENTION]. Good to see you here. Ive been using your roms since galaxy s3 days. Since I planned to root my s5, Ive decided to use your rom again. Debloated. Everything was smooth. No issues. Happy :thumbup:
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] j1gga84:
Does not work on my side, after flashing I still have BOH4 Bootloader and Modem :confused:

Maybe my error was that I rebooted from system into recovery without removing battery for 10 seconds.. Could that be the culprit?

Is it only while doing telephone calls or when doing voice messages?

In the second case I can recommend this thread:

[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] j1gga84:
interesting, is this a branded FW?

[MENTION=1030560]xXx[/MENTION]

Could you make a zip with this new bootloader and modem again? :fingers-crossed::good:

regards
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] fubo73:
Also NEE (nordic countries) has its POI1 firmware. The main diff with BOx series is the VoLTE (Voice over LTE).
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] j1gga84:
Ah I see, but also the modem got an update and the changelist got bigger so I think there are also some small changes "under the hood" ;)

Do you know if modems of switzerland and nordic countries FW are the same? I think the modem from switzerland is the newer one.

regards
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] fubo73:
Changebuilds are just progressive numbers, so they are meaningful just if you compare same family, BOx or POx, but not between them. Currently I am on BOx family and am most interested in BOI3.

I am not really interested about modems. Often they differ in some parameters that impact on how they must scan for signal. For example, I am a H3G user in Italy, and in some part of the country there is no coverage and the service is provided in roaming by another operator, TIM. I think that the H3G firmware should provide a modem that prefers H3G over TIM while scanning. This should be the diff between operators variants. So I would not go for specific operator/country modem, if not directly interested.
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] xXx:
I'm on a longer business trip right now but most probably have the chance to prepare and provide the POI1 bootloader and modem on Friday.
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] j1gga84:
no hurry ;)

I know this is OT but what do you think? Is modem BOI3 newer than POH1?

So, is POH1 like BOH1 but only with VoLTE (Voice over LTE) added?

that would mean BOI3 is the most up to date modem ;)

sorry again for OT, if there is an extra thread for that, show me ;)

regards
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] fubo73:
I believe you are still mixing BOx and POx family... It's not important if BOI3 is newer than POH1. They are from different families. If you are with BOx, BOI3 is latest. If you are with POx, POI1 is latest.
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] Bredal22:
Thanks for your explanation on this.

But how do I then know whether BOx or POx is the right for me/my phone/my rom/my county?
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] JohnLouise:
Flash

Hi! My CSC is XSG the I realize that i flashed the BOxx FW instead of POxx. Can i Flash POxx firmware over BOxx firmware or do I need to go back to KK and root again and reinstall the rom? Thanks in advance! :)
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] fubo73:
I don't know. My phone comes with H3G image, BOx, and I am staying with BOx. Besides, H3G Italy does not support VoLTE, so I do not feel the need to switch to POx.

H3G UK instead is introducing VoLTE, and this could explain why latest H3G UK sw switched from BOx to POx family.

You must decide on your own :).
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] JohnLouise:
So you mean it doesn't matter if you're using BOxx or POxx on your device? Like for my situation i flashed BOxx fw but my CSC XSG- POxx.
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] fubo73:
I do not know how many combination of BOx-POx can be created. I remember that when alexndr decided to produce also POx image someone mentioned that BOx->POx is ok without full wipe, but POx->BOx needs a full wipe. Then you can do whatever you want: provided the HW is the same, the sw can be changed as you want.

The only limitiation here is internal memory partitioning: if some operator image is provided with specific G900F internal memory partitioning, then there is a high possibilty that alexndr ROMs could not work and high risk to brick the phone.

So my opinion is: is your operator offering VoLTE? Do you need it? If so go for POx family. Otherwise BOx is good as well. And follow your original ROM evolution...

BTW: perhaps a reset to factory setting should give you a BOx CSC.
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] xXx:
I agree. I also did some research as well and couldn't find any useful information which provides a clear picture about tge differences of POx vs. BOx.

Nevertheless, I jumped already back and forth without a full data wipe. I created a flashable zip which just wipe data from contacts, calender, media cache and Google play service. Then the cross update works fine.

[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] JohnLouise:

[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] fubo73:
You mean SmartManager? Yes, it has been recently introduced in BOH4. Perhaps it is in POI1 firmware.
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] e-bert:

[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] _alexndr:
At this moment no... There are more important things I have to do due to Android 5.1.1 is coming.

As some people probably know - at this moment it is not possible to obtain root permissions on the 5.1.1 stock kernel (the only on permissive kernel). It means that it will be the end of KNOX 0X0 DevBase...

I'm trying to learn something more about building kernel from sources as I feel that it will be very useful knowledge

is it possible to port the s6 samsung email app to the s5?
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] Looki75:
I did that switch (back and forth BOxx/POxx) several times and I never had any of these issues...

Unfortunately, it might be a hardware failure, or corrupted partition.

Try to flash stock ROM through ODIN PC if you have knox0x0, or in case of knox0x1, format /system and /data partition in custom recovery.

Hello everyone,

I'd like to try this ROM but I have some questions.

Do I have to flash a new Bootloader before flashing? If yes, why?

What about the modem, do I have to change it?

Here are my device informations:

[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] Louis235:
[MENTION=4993956]sadekmefti[/MENTION]: you want to flash one of the Lollipop Versions of Alexndr's Dev Base, correct?

If yes you MUST flash Bootloader and Modem for Lollipop. Because your present Kitkat BL and Modem don't fit to a Lollipop Rom and your S5 would have a Bootloop. The right files to flash are provided here in second Post. Greets
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] sadekmefti:
Perfect, thanks mate.

Do I have to flash BL and modem before or after flashing ROM?

Envoyé de mon SM-G900F en utilisant Tapatalk
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] Louis235:
I would do it before flashing ROM. And I would recommend you to do it exactly as stated from Alexndr (see below.

If your Rom doesn't boot after Flashing (don't think, this will happen) don't panic. Just shut down phone and flash BL and Modem again (just in case;)

And your well not regret to flash. Great Rom???

Note:

To update bootloader and/or modem you have to power off the phone, wait min 10 seconds and then go directly to Download Mode using Vol_down+Home+Power key combination. Load bootloader using BL button and/or modem using CP button in PC Odin. Push "Start".[/QUOTE]
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] MIKEMON:
yep, it's true

but during the transition from KK LP

I recommend flash stock LP fw. over ODIN

Trying to get root with knox 0x0

I got an s5 from work but have decided that I can't stand the basic touch wiz layout (coming from oneplus one) and would like to have root so that I can use xposed theming. I would use cm12.1 but it seems that samsung has screwed the s5 with some difficult bluetooth hardware.

So I followed this guide:

https://www.reddit.com/r/galaxys5/comments/2ubsbs/guide_rooted_android_50_for_the_international/

Only trouble is that I can't flash to an old 4.4.2 rom (NEE-G900FXXU1ANE2). When I try to flash with odin I end up with a blank screen.

Panicked first and thought that I had bricked, blank screen and no way to get into bootloader for Odin :eek:

But after much fluffing around with drivers and adb and whatnot installed kies which, thankfully, recognised the phone and updated back to 5.0

Any tips?
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] MIKEMON:
If you encounter a boot loop (your Galaxy S5 gets stuck while restarting), you can turn it off, then press and hold Volume Up, Power and Home to enter recovery and clear the cache partition – use the volume keys to scroll and Power button to confirm.
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] valcyone:
Did you clear data/factory reset in recovery before flashing stock rom I'm Odin ?
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] zasten:
Cleared both.

The problem was after the flash I had a blank screen. Using key combos to enter bootloader or recovery did not work (I know this because Odin could not see the device).

After using kies to get 5.0 back I tried again (with the same official rom) and the same thing happened - this means that it was not a problem with a bad flash in Odin the first time.

Perhaps I just need to find the right ANE2 official rom for my device.

It could depend on different partitioning of your original ROM. What was your original ROM?

Besides, was it sold with LP already on? A lot of users had issues trying to revert to KK.

You could try this one:
