I'm still waiting for the 32GB version before I bite the bullet.....my 32Gb i9502s are serving me well enough at the moment and frankly I've got used to the 100GB (well close enough) of space when combined with a 64GB Micro SD.

aha, and what do you think, is it posible to install the original firmware of the G900MD in the G900FD, or have I to modify the NV values to add 4 and 17 bands?
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] qwerty1q:
I have no problems at all. To be honest with S5 I get better reception in my flat than I had with LG G3, S4 mini duo and Grand 2 duo. Mostly one bar more.

Had only 2-3 drops but I don't blame the phone, it is just in one room that I had always drops. Anyway it reconnects immidiately.

To sum up - fantastic phone and great modem. ( I had no chance to try old modem as phone updated stright after I got it and switched it on)
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] casper709394:
I think we are discussion about signal lost... total out of reception. No bar at all. It not about 1 bar or full bar signal.

Sometimes when u on incoming or outgoing call makes problem. I face continous drop and back signal couple of times in one time. Seems very irritating. My baseband ANH2 and build number ANJ2. this the latest update via OTA from UAE. I notice after the update... its works great. But untill recent 2 days ago the singnal lost comes back.

Still waiting the review of Russia firmware if is really counter the signal lost issue

2.. Download zip file .

3. Unzip the zip file. It contains Odin + 3 modems

4. Restart your phone in Download mode.

5. Open Odin

6. Connect Phone to PC

7. Choose modem file in PDA window of Odin

6. Press Start button on Odin

7. After flash, phone restarts itself.

8. Disconnect the phone from PC.

Dunno what do i do now...???

Can anyone help ???

I have reset the phone to factory setting.

Removed the root also.

Flashed again to the original ROM downloaded from sammobile.

Still following persists -

1. Slowness of the phone.

2. Phone is hot.

3. SD card is still not being identified by the phone as compared to the original setting.

Now - Is it that only option left for me is visiting the Samsung store and ask them to restore my phone to original setting, or I may try something else also ???

Unfortunate bit is that I have not kept the recovery image of original ROM.

noon here, help pls?

I have the system on the attached image. What's the best way for rooting it without tripping the Knox?
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dp68:
I did it as follows...

Essure you have supersu, otherwise download it from Google play.

Download towelroot from here https://towelroot.com/

Download this old kernel on pc

https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B2ShDJfJlkzkd0ZXLUJpNDNCeDQ

Likewise download this new kernel:

https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B2ShDJfJlkzkVFl3NENlZ2FSSkE

Turn off and restart phone in download mode (Power + Volume Down + Home)

Connect the phone to PC and start Odin. Click 'AP' and select the old kernel just downloaded;

At this point, after the reboot, you may experience apps force closing (mostly S Health) and WiFi malfunction so you could have to connect via 3G to continue with next steps.

After rebooting, install and launch Towelroot to root the phone.

Now flash new kernel as seen above.

After reboot you should have root and Knox 0x0.

;)
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] coelhooliveirar:
The old kernel link, is it right? Here it downloads a boot.img file.

How to do the next updates after this root procedure? Won't OTA work?
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yadavsunil:
Removed the SD card and it seems to be working now. No more heating or the slowness.

Hopefully it stays.

Help appreciated..!!!
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dp68:
You have to download boot.tar.md5 into pc (you don't have to extract boot.img) and flash it with odin.

Steps indicated above don't compromise OTA updates because kernels are Samsung stock.

Btw, to update firmware you have two options:

1. flashing new Samsung stock release, seeking for S5 duos on samfirmware.com (type g900fd into search box) before rooting; actually you have to flash last fw update first of all, otherwise you loose root access.

2. waiting for OTA update.

On my S5 duos first I've flashed NJ2 build (Saudi Arabia id, it works for most of all languages) then I flashed old kernel and proceeded with towelroot (supersu must be already installed) and so on...

[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] coelhooliveirar:
Thank you very much for these tips. Two last questions:

- which Odin version is more recommended for this procedure?

- before I flash the files, which Odin options must be ticked?
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dp68:
Odin 3.0.9, kernel file must be placed into AP box.

Let all the options as they appear when opening odin, don't tick nothing.

First launch odin then put phone in download mode and connect it to pc. When pc recognizes phone (USBn on green backlighted box), press start button. It wil take only a few seconds then the phone will automatically reboot.

Hi Casper,

You may try to Flash it again. You also might wish to remove the root for a moment.

I used the Russia Firmware from Sammobile and phone has now been working alright since last 2-3 days. No call drops, no heating and no battery issues.

Only thing I have managed to permanently corrupt my 64 GB SD card in this process. So keep SD card out while flashing the device.

after i flash it, i even rest to factory setting. Using stock rom and not rooted. What do you mean remove the root. How do i do that.

What is your firmware version by the way. Thanks

Sometimes you need to flash 2 or 3 times the same new software to get the new modem. Had this problem with S4 mini Duos and Grand 2 Duos

NJ1 works perfect in the UK. Today I'm flying to Poland and will report about LTE on the other (Polish) sim card
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yadavsunil:
1. If you have rooted then unroot the phone first. If not, that's perfect.

2. Factory reset it before anything after backing up the data.

3. Download the October'2014 ROM (Russia) from Sammobile site. Site also had April'2014 which is not to be downloaded.

4. Extract the ROM to a defined folder.

5. Rest of the flashing method is simple and same.... put the phone on download mode, run odin (I used 3.07), tick on AP & select the extracted version of the ROM.

6. Simply flash it.

7. Pls keep your SD card away during this process.

You may try this couple of times and see the Modem would be upgraded ANJ1.

Phone works fine after that.
