HOW TO INSTALL BOOTLOADER?

help me
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] It_ler:
The picture shows stock recovery.

To flash a bootloader you need the bootloader tar file and flag it as bootloader (bl) with pc version of Odin.

And it has to be done in download mode. Not in recovery mode.

My tapatalk signature:

Phone:

SGS5 (SM-G900F)

ROM:

AllianceROM v4.1

Kernel:

Stock G900FXXU1ANE2

Recovery:

PhilZ-touch

If you have any question about or any issue with your SGS2, just ask in the New members friendly Q&A thread.

... for the SGS5, just ask in the Noob friendly S5 All in one support thread

If you need general help/assistence, please go to XDA-Assist.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] verny94:
For flash custom ROM/kernel you need custom recovery (CWM, Philz or TWRP)

Best ROM is not allowed on XDA.

Stock FW you must flash via Odin ;)

can u suggest me any stable rom for Samsung S5 SM-G900H
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] It_ler:
There are some "work-in-progress" ROMs in the unified dev section which may rn on your phone ... but they seems not to be that stable yet.

I think you have to wait a little bit for stock-based ROMs. I heard that NeatROM will be available for the G900H soon.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adichandra:
While waiting finished rom for g900h, why dont you debloat your stock roms using titanium backup. There are a lot of stuff to freeze and it makes your s5 really faster.
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MajorAly:
Hello,

So yesterday I just solved my own issue of not getting any LTE signals by reinstalling the FW.

Today, I followed the advice of a user to restart the phone using PWR + VOL UP buttons to get the smoothness back. I did just that, phone became smooth again with the phone registering on LTE network.

But what happens now? I can't connect to Mobile Data AND can't make phone calls. I can run USSD code to check my balance and can receive calls just fine but cannot make phone calls.

Any ideas? Do I need to reinstall the FW again?

Model: D6503 FW: .314

I actually tried repairing it via Sony PC Companion application on the PC but to no effect.

Hey guys,

I have recently purchased a phone from china, the seller said it was an OEM phone with 2GB RAM and a FHD screen and at the same time i came across some seller indicating that the real hardware is 1GB RAM and 720p Screen although the phone can display 2GB RAM and 1080p.

So i would like to know are there any ways which i can use to check if the hardware of the android devide is real or fake?

thanks!

How are you getting the hardware specs?

If it is through an app pre-installed on the device try using this app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.thukhakyaw.aboutphone
[General Questions and Answers] joevik:
Thanks for the reply. I actually used Antutu Benchmark and CPU-Z but i was wondering whether the OEM manufacturer can put a 'program' in the phone which will make the apps i used give false hardware information.
[General Questions and Answers] TechMinerUK:
They probably can since other manufacturers spoof hardware performance but I have never heard of a Chinese company spoofing specs
[General Questions and Answers] joevik:
Such a shame! One of my friends recently ordered a Zopo ZP980+ (2GB RAM and 16GB ROM version) from aliexpress, but he has doubts about the phone having those specs. There is a version of this phone with 1GB RAM and 16GB ROM.

I'll give the app you suggested a try!

Ok, so my job does not have the latest Exchange Server that features push mail because we only have about 20 administrative employees. Therefore, I am stuck using Cingular Xpress mail to send and receive my work e-mails to my Cingular 8125 Wizard. I am currently running Faria's AKU 3.2 Rom, but no matter which Rom I have run in the past I am constantly getting the following error message...

"Error S7121: Cannot connect to desktop. Please check your desktop client and try again"

I'm sure this is a widespread problem effecting many people. I have read many posts on this throughout the internet with no exact fix. Cingular doesnt seem to have the correct fix for this either, and truthfuly, I believe the people here in these forums are much smarter, and more adapt to this Wizard.

Any help or ideas would be greatly appreciated.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] newbie2:
If your desktop is in "sleep mode" or "hibernate" when trying to connect, you'll get that message.

Try disabling the hibernation mode on your desktop so the client is always accessible. . . which is the reason I DON'T use XpressMail. I don't want my desktop PC constantly accessible when I'm not home to monitor it. :p

[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help & ] Mumraa:
I see there is so called stock roms with boat ware removed but most seem to have lots of other changes are they really stable as in exactly like stock? I am also not sure how I know which one was my phones original stock. I bought it on eBay and it's had various roms flashed. So ideally I would like to have it unrooted and just the bloatware removed but maybe that's not possible so rooted and no bloatware would be ok. Thanks
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help & ] MaHo_66:
Most of the stock roms in the development section are quite stable and all the info about removed bloatware is also stated in the threads of those roms.

You can find your original stock rom at http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/ or http://live.samsung-updates.com/index.php?device=GT-I9305, according to your country and carrier (the country where you live is your official firmware, doesnt matter that you have bought it from ebay and what firmware it had on it before). After you download the firmware flash it with odin, but be warned about KNOX bootloader on 4.3 official firmwares! If youre not knoxed yet, you can update to 4.3 stock rom without getting the knox bootloader with this Rom.

If you prefer your own official firmware, you need to remove the bloatware by yourself using a file manager with root acces. Be careful with what you delete if you gonna do so! always READ EVERYTHING carefully and do lots of RESEARCH :good: :)
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help & ] Mumraa:
Yes thanks unfortunately I do have the Knox warranty void 1 message swerev a2 think it says as well :( I thought it might mean I'm in trouble. I hear you can't reset it so I can't go to any official firmwares now?

I really need stability I thought cm 10.1 would be stable but there's lots of crashes...:( by pretty stable you mean cm 10.1 pretty stable type thing for the boat ware removed roms? Want to find something near or as good as official...thanks.

EDIT: OK so hmm getting some mixed messages reading about it all but basically I went from 4.3 stock to cm11 then to carbon rom and finally to cm 10.1.3 so I think I can go back to stock 4.3 using any uk based stock from Sammobile? Not sure which would be best yet but I am with three so I might do the h3g one. Or possibly a rom with bloat removed 4.3 or above... Guess the warranty is gone now...and hopefully I'll be ok for any upgrades in the future...
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help & ] Mumraa:
I see your rom looks pretty good...is it super stable? So because I went to cm10.1.3 does that mean I can't go back to 4.3 based roms or only official? Thanks
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help & ] MaHo_66:
What rom do you mean exactly?, I dont have a rom that i made myself yet..

you can go any time you want back to 4.3, custom or official doesnt matter both is possibble, just be rooted and have the latest philz recovery installed or any other recovery.
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help & ] Mumraa:
I meant the one in your Sig . I might try that then maybe end up on stock. One thing was I was hoping to be able to unroot it on stock as I have a banking app that won't run on rooted devices :( .
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help & ] MaHo_66:
Oh you mean the sites of those official firmwares or the recoverys :good:

I actually have no idea how to unroot it except for flashing official firmware 4.3 with odin, but the bloatware wil still be there unfortunately unless you find another way to do this :)

So I just got my new LG G Watch.

I paired it with my Moto G, and everything worked fine. Then I shut down the Watch, restarted it and now it won't work anymore. Everytime I connect it to my phone, it gives an error: "Something went wrong. Try again?". No matter what button I press, (yes or no), it just tries again. It seems like it's trying to download something.

I've already tried resetting, and wiping everything, as well as trying with another phone. What's happening?
[LG G Watch] kpjimmy:
Do you have the android wear app installed and have that guide the pairing? Something similar happened when I tried pairing with my Nexus 5.

[One (M7) General] Enhdojo:
Hi guys,

I just read this article from WIRED, the m7 is especially concerned.

I don't think we are at risk with our phones. Yet...

Does anyone knows more about it? Especially regarding changing the firmware of the phone through s-off.

Thanx.
[One (M7) General] Uzephi:
Well, sadly the article was poorly written. It didn't specify which version of what part of the phone's partitions is vulnerable. (Is it the stick Rom, the hboot, the baseband?) It also talked about firmware and baseband as if they were interchangeable, which we all know our firmware and radio (baseband) are different partitions.

So unless the black hat convention reveal has more info, we will never know which part of our phone is vulnerable. From what I gathered though, I think it is a part of the "scan for updates" agent in the stock Rom, so custom roms that have that removed altogether should not be vulnerable.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] mattnmag:
[MENTION=5978757]coltblue[/MENTION],

That pit file lacousier18 linked you should have worked if you are ODIN'ing the correct .tar restore file. You didn't say which Android build you are currently on while trying to restore back to 4.1.2. If you ever installed stock factory builds of 4.3+, then you won't be able to ODIN back to 4.1.2 because your bootloader would have been locked... (you probably know, but any factory stock firmware 4.3 and above permanently locks the bootloader for our Note 2's).

If you were on 4.1.2 bootloader when things got messed up, then you should be able to restore your phone back to 4.1.2 and reroot with CASUAL.

If you were on factory stock 4.3 MJ9 (and just rooted) when things went wrong, you'll have to restore back to MJ9 and root again with saferoot.

There's currently no root method for factory stock 4.4.2.

Either way, you can find Droidstyle's guide at this link:

success ! odin finally accepted stock 4.1.1 but showed a warning triangle saying not official software on the phone screen. ran 4.4.2 through odin and it worked first try. phone restarted , booted up and loaded 4.4.2 . never lost any settings contacts or data! the big thing i did different was using odin on my desktop with a new usb cable and using the usb 3.0 port. Thanks for all the help !
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] mattnmag:
Glad to hear that you got it restored. It sounds like you were initially running factory 4.4.2 Kit Kat when you had tried to root it to start with.

If you're re on stock 4.4.2 VRUFND7 , then unfortunately - - you can not root the device or unlock the bootloader because there's no rooting method or bootloader unlock method that works right now. You also won't be able to use Odin to downgrade to any of the other Android builds because of lock downs implemented with the 4.4.2 Kit Kat software. The good news is that your phone should run fine on stock 4.4.2 and you can use it again.

Keep your eyes open for new rooting methods.... you never know, someone might figure out how to root it yet. ;)
