The latest Russia Lollipop update is better than previous one. But phone heats up a lot immediately after the update. Leave it to settle itself for few hours, the phone might be very very slow for few minutes. After that you will realize the performance of the phone is lot smoother, but you cannot expect the butter smoothness of Kit Kat version.

I had installed only for few hours and then had to revert back to Kitkat version, since there is no root available yet for the latest lollipop version. Tried the old root method but it soft bricked my phone.

Please let me know the custom recovery and root options for the latest lollipop release.

BOB1 stock rom. I came to know from the other forum, the old root method is still applicable, but needs to be flashed twice. Now I have rooted BOB1 rom.

(Look Post# 303 & 305 in this forum http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s5/general/stock-rom-samsung-g900fd-lollipop-t2990961/page31 )

Also let me know which custom recovery works. I have rooted, but I have not installed the custom recovery yet.

Also facing another issue on BOB1 rom: My Wifi does not reconnect automatically. I have set the "Keep Wi-Fi on during sleep" as "Never". When I turn on the screen, the Wifi does not connect automatically, however the connection remains Saved & Secured, which means password is not lost. I have to either go to Wi-Ifi settings & then just need to click the my wi-fi connection or I need to turn off & on the wifi quick setting or turn on & off the airplane mode. Please let me know if there is a build.prop tweak or configuration tweak to resolve this issue.

After rooting, usually I move away the unwanted apps from /system/app & /system/priv-app folder. I moved away up the same apps which I used to do while I was on Kitkat. But this time wifi automatic reconnection is not happening.

I all guys, I have a question for you all. I have a s5 g900fd duos, when I buy it there was the only model they sell at the moment, so I get it.

Honestly I don't use two sims in it, I only have one.

I was wondering, due to I don't need the two sims, can I flash a custom rom for g900f?

I mean, does any of you know If this is posible, the rom will work in my model for one sim? Or it just will brick the phone?

Because I'm not planing to by other sim to use with the phone, and I can't find customs roms for this model, and I wanted to try a good rom.

Yep, G900MD got lollipop (BOB2 build). Its vailable for download in Sammobile.

http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/SM-G900MD/

I am using it for the past 3 days. It is much much better than the previous android 5.0 builds. Please give a try.

I am able to root it by the old root method (CF-Auto-Root-klte-kltexx-smg900f.tar.md5).

But after rooting, my wifi does not connect automatically (it connects when I restart the phone). But does not connect automatically after the phone wakes up from idle. Wifi password remains saved. Once I touch the saved wifi connection under the wifi settings, it gets connected. Its really frustrating.

Please let me know if anyone faced this issue and how to resolve it.

I actually tried first the auto root for G900F since it was based on a 5.0 build but it did soft bricked the phone. Only managed to get it to download mode again by removing the battery and then reflashing the whole rom again.

Then I went for Philz and SuperSU.

Funny thing about a problem I was having and noticed lot of people having about loosing wifi here goes my findings:

Even before updating to 5.0 my phone out of nowhere one day started dropping the wifi connection all the time and specially when I turn the screen on, after that it would drop it.

Updating to 5.0 didnt changed it and the problem remained. But doing a factory reset after flashing the 5.0, brought things to normality again. Just restored the app settings with Titanium and voila!

Hi guys

I am trying to root my G900FD (UAE, ANJ2/ANH2/ANK1) by the [How to] Root for 4.4.2 and Flash rooted Stock Android 5.0 with KNOX 0x0? method.

I followed the "Requirements" preparation to the letter (no reactivation lock, no encryption etc), but the problem is that I can't flash the ANF6 kernel. Odin v3.10.6 reports failure immediately after "NAND write start" and "unsupport dev_type" is displayed in red on the phone screen. The phone is not bricked, it still works normally. I have never flashed this phone yet, so this was the first time that Odin met my phone. The only thing I changed into my phone was to disable all the bloatware that comes with it (huge increase in battery life!), but I don't expect this to be relevant for flashing.

Any ideas what could be wrong?
