Mine is rooted rom
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] thetaphi:
Thanks for confirmation!

Why did this happen to many users today? I have the strong feeling that something happened to all of us today! We had a working rooted CPD7 ROM working, only sometimes restarting suddenly. But TODAY we got into the state that the phone was no longer going out of bootloader anymore. Reflashing ROM did not help!

Happend to me too - the funny thing is that i'am useing BPC7.
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] tichadok:
I received a message today (a popup with Ok and Cancel buttons) from Google saying they updated their security policy, if I wanted to download a 500KB patch and install it, I clicked OK and bootloop !

That might be the source ?
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] superlutin:
I had exactly same experience today. I picked up my phone to make a call - it was seriously hot, in booting mode, and stuck at the very first boot screen. No way to get it to boot, and no way to get my internal SDcard working. Only recent change was installing SuperSU 2.72beta. I connected an external USB, this was recognized, SDcard still not mounted.. From ext. USB I installed old SuperSU 2.65 in TWRP and minutes later it was back in service! Maybe SuperSU 2.72 beta is the evil element here?
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] thetaphi:
I did not install any updates to SuperSU. Another user said that Google installed an update to their security policy. Maybe I did not see a requester, because I have the option "auto-install" in my options. I am still running without root "I reinstalled installed -noroot", but I wanted to try installing the rooted version from TWRP again after figuring out what went wrong.

---------- Post added at 06:35 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:29 AM ----------

That is a good hint where to look at. I did not get a requester popup asking for this. But in my security settings it has "automatically install security policy". Maybe it did not ask me because of that setting.

To fix it did you have to install the non-rooted ROM? Or was it enough to flash again, which did not help for me?

If the security policy update prevents us from using a rooted rom, how to get rid of it? I have the feeling it installs something of /data that is used by bootloader or initrd that breaks. Maybe [MENTION=5150393]_alexndr[/MENTION] has an idea what could go wrong here. It cannot be something installed on system partition, because that one is nuked by installer!

In addition I noticed that after installing the non-rooted ROM, when opening e.g. Hangouts, it said "Google Play Services failed". After deleting all Cache and Data of "Google Play Services" from application list, this stopped. Maybe this also caused the trouble in rooted ROM. Maybe the play serviuces corrupted its database because of the sporatic reboots after waking up from sleep mode (see above). I hope these reboots are fixed in a later version of this ROM.
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] Marshall73:
Same here on BPC7 - but removing battery and reboot did the job...
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] ahmadmalik88:
Same thing happened to me. Did a lot of flashing and reflashing. Let's hope it works now.
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] tichadok:
I had to re install non rooted ROM. The rooted one was still stuck in bootloader. [MENTION=5150393]_alexndr[/MENTION] my guess: this security update changed something in the bootloader ? Possible ?

How do you get the history of installed security updates ? When I go to the security options and find updates it says I have the latest update (even after reinstalling non rooted ROM ) so where is it installed ?
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] aguarello:
Experiencing the same here! Everything was going great with rooted rom + init.d + xposed and I just woke up late because my alarm didn't go off because the device was on a bootloop! WHAT IS HAPPENING :P [MENTION=5150393]_alexndr[/MENTION]

---------- Post added at 06:04 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:02 AM ----------

You didn't have to wipe to do this right? So to temporally get my phone back should I just flash the noroot version from recovery over the previous one? Thanks!

*hoping to get my phone back*
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] tichadok:
Dirty flash is OK, I didn't wipe anything just installed non rooted ROM (which wipes system cache); I got my apps and data back ;)
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] aguarello:
Thanks man! Moving the ZIP over to my SDCARD now! I'll tell you how it goes!

*EDIT*

[MENTION=459591]tichadok[/MENTION] Hey btw where can I check in setting if I had the automatic Google policy thing activated? Maybe if I have it too we can confirm this is the problem... I didn't accepted any update so it probably is. As I said the bootloop occurred when I was asleep.

BTW, I think it worked.... Optimizing apps now! THAAAANKSS. I had a really busy day today and I really needed my phone. I hope [MENTION=5150393]_alexndr[/MENTION] can give us all some light soon.

Cheers! :D

Flashing SuperSU v2.65 works!

I had the same issue. I flashed the xposed+deodexed version again first and then the bootloader. But that didn't work. I really didn't want to lose xposed and root.

Just flashing SuperSU v2.65 through TWRP worked for me!!! Everything works fine now with xposed and root!
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] j0ch3:
Hi,

maybe someone can help me here.

I'm on DevBase 3.3. I was texting in threema and suddenly the screen went black.

Then my device rebooted. Then it got stuck on the samsung logo.

I tried deleting dalvik and chace in recovery. Since then the device gets stuck on the first screen.

I tried to reflash the DevBase 3.3 but nothing changed. I tried to wipe everything and flash everything from scratch including bootloader and modem, but my device is not able to boot anymore.

Do someone else has seen this before with this rom? Any tips for getting device back to life are welcome.
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] aguarello:
Are you trying to flash it with root? Because there's an issue right now with that. Read the previous recent posts. Cheers!
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] radiohitec:
I confirm realy works now...thanks!!!!
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] pati14:
If you have flashed the Rom with root and triggered Knox on DevBase 3.3 then flash a custom Recovery like Twrp and flash SuperSU v2.65 through it. This worked for me
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] thetaphi:
Hi,

What is the difference of SuperSU 2.65 in comparison to SuperSU 2.71 as shipped with the ROM? Why did you choose 2.65 and not 2.66 or whatever version? :D
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] radiohitec:
I have tested SuperSu 2.68 this works also.

G900FXXU1CPD7_DevBase_v3.3 suddenly broken

Hi,

I've been running G900FXXU1CPD7 since it has been published WITHOUT ANY PROBLEMS.

But since yesterday, just turning WLAN on it crashes after some short time (about 10-60 seconds) and cannot be booted again.

Wiping the cache doesn't suffice. Reloading a TWRP backup (from yesterday or some weeks older) makes my phone boot again.

But, as soon as I enable WLAN it crashes again.

I suspect that something gets loaded like a new version of Google Play.

Has anybody have such a problem.
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] aguarello:
Just read the posts before yours.
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] HJarausch:
Many, many thanks! You saved me.

I couldn't believe that a system running just fine (for some weeks) and then crashes because of broken version of some (well, important) package.

Does anybody know something about such a dramatic bug?
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] thetaphi:
Did anybody also try SuperSU 2.72 which was released yesterday? I have the feeling that this may also solve the issue, because it mentions that it has some fixes about su*policy*. But it does not mention any of our problems or some "security *policy*" update by Google.

BTW: Since I use the non-rooted ROM, my phone stopped rebooting suddenly after waking up - I had no restart like that since yesterday evening. So this must also have something to do with the 2.71 SuperSU version.
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] _alexndr:
Just updated "Security policy" on my Note 4 N910F (running 6.0.1) and I can confirm this issue. Phone gets into bootloop soon after applying "Security policy update". We can easy get out from the bootloop in 3 ways:

Way 1:

- Go to TWRP > Advanced > Terminal and type:

rm -f /data/security/spota/*

Way 2:

- Go to TWRP > Advanced > File Manager > /data/security/spota and delete all 8 files manually, one by one (do not remove "spota" directory, just leave it empty)

Way 3 (noob friendly):

- Just flash attached ZIP - it will remove security updates automatically :cool:
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] thetaphi:
FYI, I installed SuperSU 2.72 BETA (released yesterday) with TWRM and the phone booted successfully. I did not need to reflash the rooted Alexandr ROM, it was enough to just dirty install the SuperSU-2.72.ZIP over the already installed "-noroot.zip" ROM. I got back root and all is fine again.

I will report if the sudden restarts of phone on wakeup from standby are still occuring - I hope not! I have the strong feeling they were caused by SuperSU somehow (see above, with non-rooted ROM I have seen no restarts). Otherwise I'm waiting for the next ROM version here with latest changeset.
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] aguarello:
Thanks! Hey what to do if like me already flashed no root version to solve issue? Flashing the root version again and follow any of the ways you posted will be fine?
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] thetaphi:
Thanks for the information. I checked my phone: the folders are empty after I restored my phone like described before. I think because I installed temporarily the non-rooted ROM, the phone was able to boot and the installer service was sucessful to install the policy files. After the installation it deleted the files, like you did manually.

This is the reason why reinstalling SuperSU worked afterwards.

To me it looks like the installer of the Google security policy files somehow interferes with SuperSU and prevents the phone from passing bootloader causing the bootloop.

I have disabled automatic updates for now.

---------- Post added at 05:26 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:24 PM ----------

You don't need to install the rooted version again. As you have TWRM available, just download SuperSU-2.72 (or the original 2.71 as shipped with Alexandr's ROM) as ZIP file for flashing and go to recovery and flash it from there. You ROM will be rooted afterwards and the yellow warning text will reappear on the bootloader screen. Before doing that I would go to a filemanager and delete the files as described by alexndr! In my case they were no longer there (see description above).
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] _alexndr:
I just realized that the latest security updates affect also all Android 5.0 users (including KNOX 0x0 users) - to avoid problems please UNTICK immediately "Automatic updates" in Settings > Security > Security policy updates !!!!!!

KNOX 0x0 users will not be able to remove "Security policy updates" in case of bootlop WITHOUT wipe data !!!

BTW: post #6042 has been updated :cool:
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] buahmad777:

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

Will there be any other fix soon for this issue? I don´t think disabling this feature is a good idea on the long run. Our devices may stay vulnerable, or am I wrong?

-alexndr would you be able to make the sound button change Music Tracks by pressing and holding the sound button either up for next track and down for last track? This is done on the I900 galaxy S2. by developer Sale. Of course short presses increase or decrease the sound as normal.

Unfortunately Sale is not working on the S5.
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] hightension:
Yes.. Working ok
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] _alexndr:
Don't worry. Security updates comes also with every new kernel (even if kernel has same changelist as previous one). As you can see in the attachment - security updates included in the kernel are "fresh enought" to not worry about vulnerabilities. The problem with the newest security update is that it contains updated sepolicy which disallow root even on 5.0 firmwares, so it need to be patched to allow root.

It is not a problem for my installer to patch sepolicy contained in the kernel (if necessary), but if such update will come later - phone will not be able to boot (as we can see reading many, many reports related to this "sudden bootloop").

BTW. Re-flashing SuperSU will not solve problem definitely - I just tested it - I forced security update again with SuperSU 2.72 and my phone went into bootloop again !!!
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] Marshall73:

- Just flash attached ZIP - it will remove security updates automatically :cool:[/QUOTE]

Can I use the ZIP with FlashFire on Lollipop? I am afraid to reboot the phone as I do not know if Security Update has been already installed or not. Thanks.
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] _alexndr:
Should work with FF, but in my opinion you do not have sucurity updates installed as all my devices freezed and rebooted automatically in a few minutes after security update

Just go to /data/security/spota using Root Explorer and check if you have some files inside or if spota directory is empty ;)
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] Marshall73:
It's not empty - there are 8 files inside SPOTA: sepolicy, sepolicy_version, sepolicy_version_sign, service_contexts, seapp_contexts, property_contexts, mac_permissions.xml, file_contetxs

As I reported yesterday I had freeze, too. Pulsing blue notification and frozen screen. Battery removal helped. Now I am afraid of turning it off...

If you have installed the ROM already - you can install Xposed framework separately from this thread:

http://xdaforums.com/xposed/unofficial-xposed-samsung-lollipop-t3180960

Use "xposed-v84.0-sdk23-arm-custom-build-by-wanam-20160504.zip"...

No, it just need to be patched, please read carefully (or AGAIN) post #6051. SE policy updates contains original (not patched) sepolicy - for normal (not rooted) phones - that's why these packages causes bootloop

I get easily 4:30 hours, sometimes it gets to 5 hours.

With this untouched rom and stock kernel you should get at least 4 hours SOT.

Try reinstalling the rom with root disabled, and flashing supersu 2.65 separately.

[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] LoeiHeavy:
Same here. Used cm for a long time. But lately it seems to be getting more and more unstable for the s5.

Touchwiz:

1. Better keyboard

2. Better fingerprint scanner

3. Less heating up

4. Full NFC support

5. Better camera.

6. Full Bluetooth support

7. Way better with calls.

CM:

1. Looks way better

2. Better locks screen

3. More up to date

4. DPI settings

5. Ambient display

That's my pro/con list for now.

I like CM a lot. It's just not that stable for this phone. Next phone will be a nexus for sure.

CM13 is actually great, they have some (hardware specific) issue:

- bluetooth stuttering with wifi enabled

- camera. Samsung one is better and more complete than any other. Maybe if they ever add panorama support to SNAP (the one in CM13 optimized for snapdragon)...

- Mifare NFC tags not working. Not a big problem for me, anyway.

On the other hand they have a decent and customizable user interface, no bloatware, and an overall IMO far better user experience. It is a pity that even my wife J5 has a newer and better UI than our S5.
