[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] many110:
What am I doing wrong????

I followed your advise and still no luck. You claim that my phone is not "bricked" but yet I did everything that you recommended and I'm still in the same place. I downloaded your "PIT.tar" file and had to change the name, because "Odin3 v3.09" would not recognize it. I put the pit file and AP file (AND YES, it is a full STOCK image) at the same time, tried it with "re-partition checked" and it failed! I tried it with out and it went through, but I am not able to get any further. Still getting "could not do normal boot"

"You state that I am taking short cut". Could you let me know what I am missing or at least direct me to a tutorial that does not show any short cuts? I get as far as seeing the "red android" figure, with and eye patch and it states that it will restart in 10 seconds. After reboot, I get the same message "Could not do normal boot". :crying:

By the way, would it matter that the pit file that you directed me to is for tmobile and this is a Metro pcs phone? Thank you.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fffft:
I tried to give you good advice in my first post. Do you recall what I said?

Answer:

And you still aren't doing so. You are

not

describing what you are doing

step by step

. You are not giving us file names so that we know which version of stock firmware you tried to install. Or whether it was really stock. You didn't paste the Odin log - what you saw onscreen. You pepper us with a summary and a few details and expect us to divine what has happened. It doesn't work that way. No one can help you constructively if you refuse to provide abundant information about your situation.

The best you can hope for is drive by guesses or perhaps someone patient that might try to cajole information out of you. We'd all like to help you, but you're making it difficult. It would be in your best interests to provide exhaustive detail because those details are the key thing that will enable people to help you. If you change your mind and provide the detail, someone in the forum will try to help you.

Good luck.

[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] many110:
Well, I am not too sure how much more can be described from all of my last post, but here goes:

I power up the phone and I get a quick flash, before what looks like the download screen, appears and up at the top left hand corner the message reads "Could not do normal boot" and the under the green android figure are the words "Downloading... Do not turn off target!!"

I then continue to do a battery pull and I proceed to go into download mode (Holding vol. down button, home button and power button at the same time. I get Warning message and at bottom it states "Use volume up: continue, volume down: Cancel(restart phone). I push the volume up button. I am now in down load mode. If you look at the sceen at this point, this is how my SM-G900T1 is booting up, EXCEPT for those little red words at the top. In normal download screen, it states "ODIN"MODE". When I boot up my SM-G900T1, those little red words at the top say "Could not do normal boot" instead of ODIN.

Once I am in download mode, I proceed to use the files that you recommended (the .pit file and the AP file). I load up the files into Odin and I click, start. It begins to work and it then says, "RESET" while it is blue. My phone restarts and I see the red android figure with an eye patch and at the bottom it says, restart in 10 seconds.

the phone proceeds to restart and it goes back to that error message, which looks like the download mode, with the words up at the top , in red letters state "Could not do normal boot. ODIN MODE"

in white letters:

Product Name: SM-G900T1

Current Binary: Custom

System Status: Cusatom

Knox Warranty void: 0x1 (4)

Qualcomm Secureboot: enable (CSB)

RP SWREV: S1, T1, R1, A1, P!

UDC START

my phone goes no further than this and have kept it connected to odin. Now I look up at ODIN and it shows PASS!! in a green box with a time of 02:10. But my phone will not boot up. I restart and I get the message once again"Could not do normal boot"[/LIST

Hopefully someone could help. Thank you.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fffft:
Well the important thing is that you can get to download mode (aka Odin mode) one way or the other.

Odin is well known for being fussy with cables, USB ports and other details, so don't panic if you get a failed Odin write or two. I also explained how to get around that in most cases.. leave Odin open on your PC screen and pull the phone battery again, go back to Odin mode on the phone and then press start on the Odin screen to try flashing a second time.

You are getting better with details (thanks) and I'm sure that this is frustrating to you. But you are nowhere near telling us step by step what you are doing. for a start, you didn't name the stock firmware image file that you were using, something that I specifically requested. So without meaning to offend you.. you aren't paying attention to details.

By "step by step", I meant a description of each step you took. For example listing each button you press in Odin.. telling us exactly what you type into each box and so forth. You may not see the point of that, but remember that we are not standing over your shoulder. And one wrong action can ruin your write. So that kind of step by step detail is extraordinarily valuable in troubleshooting.

Anyway, there are many ways to go about anything. Since you can get to download mode and your Knox bit is 0x1, I'd suggest installing or reinstalling TWRP, so that you can reliably boot to a stable recovery mode. From there you can look at almost anything, fix things, install custom ROMS, etc.

If you want to continue with Odin instead, then make sure that you are using a real stock .tar or .tar.md5 image, use a different USB cable and try again. If you are persistent, it will work.

any idea where i can get the PIT files for a metro s5?? i found the TAR file and used that in ODIN and it wont get past the metro splash screen. sits there for hours and gets REALLY hot. I tried doing a factory reset in recovery but it fails and reboots. Im hoping maybe a PIT file/repartition would do it i cant find a damn pit file anywhere. model number is G900T1. I used the stock firmware from the site below.

[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Polekat:
For future reference or anyone else reading this post. If you are running a stock ROM on a SM-G900T, even with root "memory low" alerts can be ignored becouse internal storage has a memory partition to act as emulated memory. In addition, android automatically unloads the oldest unused items from memory. I get these messages all the time, "internal memory usage exceeds maximum limit" or some such. They appear in the status bar without toasts, so their not too annoying. Yes you can clear a lot of stuff out with root,... But first understand your device AND what you intend to remove. If you don't understand it yet then leave it until you research it. Also, I recommend that you research your device before you buy it. I did, thats why my SM-G900T1 is a recent purchase, instead of going for the S6. Now if I could just find out how to root it without a computer when the kernel is dated Nov 10 2014.....

[Droid Ultra Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kodalades:
Does anyone know if there's a way via modification or whatever to bring back UMS mode for Android 4.4+? I find MTP to be very annoying for various reasons. One, my phone's storage can't be accessed unless the phone's screen stays unlocked, two, it randomly throws up a "can't copy to device because device has stopped responding" error when copying files to my phone although I haven't touched it and then the error randomly stops, and three, having the "Are you sure you want to copy file to device" popup every time I copy something over is annoying, especially when putting music on my phone. If it matters, I have a Droid Mini on stock 4.4 19.5.3, rooted.

USB mass storage works on windows. Not on a Mac. Android file transfer sucks. I use OTG if i want reliable transfers, but then I have to delete Mac dot files. I am not rooted on 444.

I do not think the USB mass storage apk works on our rooted 4.4+.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MaLing15:
Hi XDA Community. I use Trinity Kernel by Morfic and i was wondering if it is okay to have an Overclocked Nexus 5 and use the phone at a regular basis like a normal stock clock Nexus. I don't want My phone to just randomly explode because of overclocking it. One of the features the kernel has as said at his/her XDA thread is "Up to 2726MHz (higher clocks will vary from device to device)". Is that frequency trustworthy when just using the phone normally or is that a benchmark frequency?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Elluel:
Don't overclock that high. 2419MHz at most. Overclocking too high will cause more heat and throttle earlier, only useful for a short benchmark such as HWBot Prime or Quadrant (Antutu takes longer and will overheat by the time it finishes). Trinity also supports up to 3014MHz, OP hasn't been updated.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jsgraphicart:
You don't want to push the phone too much I think the Nexus 5 runs at 2.3 GHz. 2.7 MAY not be too bad but honestly, the phone runs pretty smooth as is. What benefits are you looking for from overclocking?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MaLing15:
Thanks guys for sharing your knowledge. You know.. To get the MOST out of the Phone while at the same time being Safe.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
if you really wanted, the phone won't explode if you run it at 3015mhz either. the worst that will happen is that your phone won't be able to run that high, and will freeze and reboot.

and don't listen to all.. run your phone how YOU like. yes, it'll cause a little(not much) more heat, and will throttle a little earlier, but that's why people like me disable throttle, so that's a non issue. I run my phone at high CPU speeds all the time, and use 2880mhz high/300mhz low quite often. just because I feel like it, no other reason.

oh, I run trinity as well, and do all of Trinity's testing :)
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PsychDrummer:
It's just what [MENTION=4355929]jsgraphicart[/MENTION] said. You're not really getting more out of your phone by overclocking. It's not going to run smoother, and most games don't lag anyway so they probably won't run better. I think most people just do it for benchmarks or just to check if it can run on a certain clockspeed.

Also what [MENTION=1811927]simms22[/MENTION] said. You can do it if you want to, but simply because you want to because as far as I know there aren't really any benefits.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jsgraphicart:
Back in my Palm Pre days, we used to overclock that thing to 1GHz. The default setting was 500MHz. I think it was even pushed to 1.2GHz. And it ran fine. But back then, you could tell the difference between a little lag at 500MHz and smoothness at 1GHz. With this phone and how Android has gotten smoother with every update, it's kind of hard to see any difference when overclocking. It will be smooth regardless.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
oh, benefits, not really. a little more speed, yes. bit I would never call it a benefit, unless the speed difference was drastic, and its not.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bblzd:
As mentioned, overclocking the CPU can actually turn out to run slower because of aggressive thermal throttling. You could disable or extend the thermal throttling, but 2.3Ghz is already plenty fast for today's mobile software so you won't notice any difference in day to day usage.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Elluel:
Even if you run your phone at 2880MHz/3014MHz/whatever with thermal throttle off, you can't really do anything too intensive as it'll hit 105C and shutoff lol
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
actually, no, youre wrong. when you run your phone at 2880/300 or 3014/300, you phone will hardly scale up that high, sometimes it will. you wont see any real difference between those high cpu speeds and running it at 2265/300. and battery will be similar. the difference will be if you run it at 2880/2880 or 3014/3014. now i run my phone at 2880/300 very often, and you know i disable thermal throttle. yet, i see no difference in temperatures, except if im doing something thats very cpu intensive.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Elluel:
Ah true. But still, a bit easier to hit it if doing something intensive :p Not to mention it may be a little unstable on some devices

If the recovery says '3e' then the CWM flash has not worked........

If, before you started, you were stock (4.1.2?) unrooted. You will need to flash a custom kernel to root your device and provide a basic CWM.......then you can flash your KK compatible CWM from within the existing CWM.........

If you *are* stock unrooted, you have two commonly used options....

1) use the android 3e recovery to flash PhilZ kernel.

2) use Odin to flash dorimanx or siyah or similar. Both will give you root and CWM, and in my own opinion, flashing PhilZ is easier.....

As with any 'non standard' procedure, read ALL the instructions before flashing.......
