I think you're referring to the Portadroid stuff (not my work), that's not working at the minute as is. The script has a couple ways of doing the multiboot, the portadroid was as you say replacing the init and looping .ext4 files, the other way which should work as is with the TF is bind mounts, with a mountfs.sh file being called in place of calling fstab.

Again the method isn't my work - just the automation provided by the script.

With the gamma script on that page (if you wanna give it a try run beta for the time being), I tried to replace the mountfs.sh with the gamma script itself, but that's currently not working, I think the problem is getting arguments passed in the *.rc file.

How did you partition the sd card please elaborate the steps
[Asus Transformer TF701] lexelby:
I'm sorry, but I don't have the free time to create a detailed tutorial with all of the steps. I purposefully gave enough detail that someone with intermediate Linux knowledge could follow along.

For the partitioning, I just used the standard Linux partitioning tool, fdisk.
[Asus Transformer TF701] lexelby:
Quick tip for anyone doing this: even a class 10 UHS card like a samsung evo is going to make this tablet seem sluggish if you're using it for primary storage like I am. The reason is that it's not optimized for random access like the builtin one. I noticed long stalls that Cool Tool showed me were caused by SD card IO pegging at 100% for seconds at a time, sometimes 10-20. The tablet is usable like that, but it's a serious pain.

The problem is that by default, Linux is only willing to let writes build up in the filesystem cache for a few seconds before it blocks further writes until it flushes the cache to disk. This is so that if the system crashes suddenly, only a few seconds max worth of data can be lost.

That's a laudable goal, but it seriously gets in the way of performance. I made the decision to go the other way: trade reliability for speed. I bumped my cache settings to allow it to use 80% of system RAM for cache and to allow writes to build up for up to 5 minutes without blocking futher writes. This is risky, of course; everything's a tradeoff. I definitely wouldn't do it if I didn't have to. It really helped the performance issues I was seeing though.

To fix this, I run this shell script at boot with Tasker: https://www.lexneva.name/owncloud/public.php?service=files&t=7948a4c98cd64ec7b39756075fdf4480

There might be apps out there dedicated to this if you don't want to use tasker.

T-Mobile uses the 1700MHz and 2100MHz frequencies for 4G LTE data, and the Galaxy S5 Active supports 1700 and 2100, according to GSMArena.

1) Why then is the phone listed everywhere as "For AT&T"?

2) If I buy an S5 Active without a contract, how will data work on T-Mobile? 3G? 4G? 4G LTE?
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fffft:
Any given S5 model has the hardware capability to operate on all of the GSM and LTE bands. But Samsung can sell more phones, and carriers can deter you from jumping ship too readily by marketing lots of different S5 models that have various incompatibilities.

The S5 Active or SM-G870ADGEATT is a ruggedized variant, exclusive to ATT. So why is it said to be for ATT? Marketing.

As to compatibility with TMobile, assuming that you SIM unlock it, it can operate on most of the TMB bands. But again ATT has put a lot of thought into how to discourage you from moving to a different carrier. To wit, they have omitted support for TMB's 3G 1700 and LTE band 8.

You'd have to find out how widely TMB uses those bands to know if that would be a large impact on data use or not.

.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sam K:
There was a rumor posted 2 months ago on the Android Community that a T-Mobile version of the Galaxy S5 Active (model SM-G870T vs the AT&T model SM-G870A) would be out in late July. Here's a link.

http://androidcommunity.com/samsung-galaxy-s5-active-availability-leaks-out-20140529/

Obviously it's late July now and we haven't seen it but I'm wondering if AT&T got an exclusive on the Galaxy S5 Active for a few months and T-Mobile will release it after the exclusivity period expires.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] poweraspect1:
Sorry to dredge up an old topic, however you mentioned that the S5 active has the hardware capability to support all TMB bands, 1700 included, but then say "To wit, they have omitted support for TMB'S 3G 1700 and LTE band 8". Does this just mean the stock AT&T ROM is the only limiting factor? So, were I to flash the AT&T stock ROM and install a Tmobile ROM for example I could then utilize ALL of Tmobile ' 3G and LTE bands? (And wifi calling to boot).

Thanks

I NEED to do something with my S5 Active to get it working better on Tmobile. I love the S5A... its a perfect phone for me. Not too big, but big enough. Rugged, waterproof, good camera, uSD card, etc. Without WiFi Calling and support for all of Tmo's freq & channels, its severely limiting.

I'd pay someone to help me convert my phone to Tmobiles stock S5 5.1.1 ROM and baseband radio firmware.

Help!

Also having the same problem with an unlocked S5 Active originally setup for AT&T. It uses the EDGE network only.

Has anyone successfully modified the phone to utilize the TMB 1700 band or the LTE band 8 as mentioned in this post? (either through ROM upgrade or other)?
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ActiveS5:
I love the S5 Active, but using it with T-Mobile is such a hassle. I have the $30/mo. prepaid plan that includes unlimited text and data, so I'm not changing carriers anytime soon, but I have to buy new phones outright. When I bought this for myself last December, I saw it was compatible with T-Mobile so I pulled the trigger - a mistake in retrospect.

I'm from a large metro-area but T-Mobile's 4G signal is nearly impossible to get with this phone. Aside from never being able to connect to the internet when out of my apartment, sending/receiving MMS texts are a chore. I also discovered today that my android OS with this phone hasn't updated itself since I bought it - it's still running 4.4.2 and when I try to check for updates to Android through my device settings, it tells me AT&T has no new available updates at this time (there have in fact been 3 new updates AT&T released during this time).

So while I really love the phone, I'm going to have to sell it and look for a new device that's actually compatible with T-Mobile's network.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rossionQ!va:
The Fix

I would go in the VPN settings and manually reset the ports and frequencies the phone reads and when it reads the T-Mobile sim card that it reads upon boot up.

Now, I'm running similar set up with Samsung Galaxy S4 & S5 (At&T variants), it seems like it works, have tried it on friend's S5 Active and it works perfectly.

The only problem is that you won't get to enjoy the freedom of wifi calling even though u have T-Mobile sim card and service, But at least u will be guaranteed to use T-Mobile 4G LTE speed and signals. Occassionally, T-Mobile will blackout or a region without T-Mobile and automatically the phone will roam with no charge and use AT&T signals for up to 15 minutes or depending to circumstances of the situation.

---------- Post added at 05:07 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:04 PM ----------

To get the At&T updates, I would advise you to go to Ebay and buy a prepaid At&t sim card for the phone and use it temporarily just to update it all the up to 5.1 Android OS and your phone will be running up to date. (cost anywhere from $3.99 to $15.99)
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ActiveS5:
I got the AT&T updates by going into a Best Buy where they have a Samsung Experience center, took about 10 minutes but they updated my phone. I'll have to look into the VPN settings and see if there's anything I can do, but after purchasing the phone online I did have the folks at a T-Mobile store set the phone up for me so I would've figured they would have set it up proper.

I have a S5 Active and I was considering making the jump to TMo, but I really would like the functionality of the wi-fi calling and text, since I work in a hospital and can get no reception or texts. Pardon me if this is a dumb question as I have no experience in jumping carriers with rooted phones, but would I get the features if I had the TMo sim, applied the TMo APN's, flashed a TMo stock or custom rom that has the features baked in?

Any ideas?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kcipopnevets:

Sorry, it spent more than a day on the charger. Still nothing, cannot get it to respond at all.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kcipopnevets:
If you haven't already, try holding the power button for a while until *hopefully* the Google splash appears.

A good way to tell if the device is accepting a current is by using a charger that can verify this somehow, like with an embedded LED. One like this: http://www.verizonwireless.com/accessories/rapid-wall-charger-with-6-ft-cable-for-micro-usb/

I used this for my HTC Rezound when it still worked to make sure it was taking a charge because it would report it was charging in the OS but the charger module itself reported otherwise (the red Verizon ring didn't illuminate unless the charger was positioned a certain way in the device thus this was the only way I could supply it a charge and not hope it wasn't dead in the morning). When my Nexus 7 is drained, it draws enough voltage to get the charger to illuminate so maybe try one of these to really make sure it's still responding.

For the meanwhile, if you do decide to buy one, what was the last thing you/your wife had done? Was there root access?

Interesting about the charger -- don't think I have one that does that. Maybe I'll see if my VZW store has one, not sure yet.

She had just used her tablet as normal, and plugged it in like she does every other day or so -- the next morning grabbed it and went to work only to find out that it was dead. IE: not turning on.

- No root access (totally stock)

- I've tried holding the power button for up to 2 mins. - nothing

- Even tried holding the down volume and power for up to 2 mins. together - nothing

- Removed the back and unplugged the battery (plug was really tight) and left it undone for 5 mins and reconnected - nothing

- When plugging in to a USB on the computer, the computer dings like I connected something but - nothing

Perhaps I'll take it apart again and see if I can get a voltage reading on the battery with my multimeter... didn't do that before, but would be good to know if it is charged and not turning on or what.
