Hey just by curiosity, if a newer firmware version of 5.0 is released, we will have to downgrade to 4.4.2 to upgrade with root and knox 0x0 again to the newest version or not? ? ?

Hey btw do I have to check wipe data/davik cache when flashing lollipop in Mobile Odin?

Sent from my SM-G900F
[Galaxy S 5 General] wajiman:
NEVER EVER do that. MOP has a bug, if you select that option, mobile will boot directly into recovery option without flashing the rom. And to restore you will have to flash again using PC Odin.

So use the same option in the aroma installer.

Did you know if there is a root for the G900FDXXU1ANH2 (android 4.4.2) ?

And if i root, the ota update for lolipop will work ?

Thanks

The thread says it works on all 4.4.2 and OTA wont work. Please search the thread next time. All your questions have been answered already
[Galaxy S 5 General] Julianinho:
Ok thanks wajiman.

I was reading the 20 first page but I also thought that it was necessary to have the correct baseband like mine.
[Galaxy S 5 General] SlideMouse22:
Maybe, I'm the only one, but I dont really get it.

How to install everything?

Requirements:

1. Have ANG2 or latest Rom installed

Check.

2. Require PC Odin 3.09

Downloaded. Check.

3. Kernal for NE2 (Old Rom Kernel for G900F ONLY, use F6 KERNEL FOR G900FD), get G900F kernels from here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/cun1uainm2...U1ANE2.tar.md5

Downloaded. Check.

4. Your current Rom Kernel prior to flashing the old kernel. Here the kernel for FOR H900F ONLY: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=18027 (kudus to [MENTION=5150393]_alexndr[/MENTION]) (if your Kernel is not there and/or you have a different variant like 900I, look below the instructions on how to create flashable kernel)

Downloaded. Check.

5. DISABLE REACTIVATION LOCK

Check.

6. IF YOUR DEVICE IS ENCRYPTED, DECRYPT IT

Check.

7. Towelroot and SuperSU downloaded and installed prior to flashing NE2 kernel

Towelroot Downloaded.

SU Downloaed (Market).

What next?

Maybe flash No3 with Odin?

Then Flash No4 with Odin?

Then install No7?
[Galaxy S 5 General] wajiman:

[Galaxy S 5 General] wajiman:
First use ANE2 kernel then use the above link for ANG2 kernel
[Galaxy S 5 General] joggesan:
Since i'm already rooted through towelroot and i'm still on ANE2, can i just go ahead and flash Alexndrs rom through Mobile Odin PRO with the right options enabled? Since this guide is for ANG2 i'm guessing, that the first part is only for people downgrading?

If not, can someone tell me which steps i need to do? Just a short answer will be enough, then i will figure out the rest. Just a little confused by this.
[Galaxy S 5 General] wajiman:
Yup just go ahead and flash through mobile odin. This thread is for ANG2 because towel root did not work from that update onwards

[Galaxy S 5 General] aus_pixon12:
This worked fine when updating to ANG3 but I got stuck when updating to ANK1 as the phone would not let me install towelroot or supersu (and I had towelroot 2 instead of 3 installed). Didn't turn up much on here or Google (might not have searched hard enough) apart from using Dropbox or refencing the apks in the phone browser but neither option worked. After a bit of playing around and head-scratching I got towelroot and supersu installed using ADB and the rest of the process then went smoothly.

TLDR;

If you can't install towelroot or SuperSu using apk files then connect the phone by USB and use ADB instead.
[Galaxy S 5 General] wajiman:
Strange. Did you enable install from unknown sources option in the security tab? ??
[Galaxy S 5 General] SlideMouse22:
I have BNL9 (lollipop) non rooted.

Do I have to go back to 4.4.2?
[Galaxy S 5 General] wajiman:
Please read the OP your question is already answered over there
[Galaxy S 5 General] aus_pixon12:
I did indeed. Enabled it, rebooted and still didn't work. I could select the apk in my file manager and it would give me the info screen but when it came to the bit where you get to choose to install or cancel, the install button was disabled so I could only press cancel. Still don't know why but using ADB got around it.
[Galaxy S 5 General] Pollie81:
Pfff.. Finally! It took me some time to read all the pages in this thread (others should too..) but it gave me all the info I need. If I have some spare time tomorrow I'm going to root my S5.

Thanks OP!

To bad there are still a lot of people asking questions which the answer is all ready provided.. I guess it's to much trouble to read thru this topic while some took a lot of effort to provide us noobs with this important information..
[Galaxy S 5 General] spongaweb:
Galaxy S5 Sport on the way, will this thread work?

Or should I just trade for a regular S5 and save me the trouble....?
[Galaxy S 5 General] wajiman:
I donot think it will work
[Galaxy S 5 General] SlideMouse22:
I dont get it.

1) Have ANG2 or latest Rom installed

> I have lollipop (bnl9) (thats the latest rom for my 900F) installed.

So this, doesn't make sense:

NOTE: If you have already flashed Non-rooted Android 5, Read "Before Proceeding > Point # 2"

BEFORE PROCEEDING, Please read:

2. You can downgrade anytime to 4.4.2 after flashing Android Lolipop 5 by using PC Odin (WILL NOT trigger KNOX) . Just flash regular firmware through PC Odin and then boot into recovery to perform full wipe or else phone will get stuck in bootloop

So, I have, like it's said, the latest ROM installed. Do I have to go back to 4.4.2.?
[Galaxy S 5 General] wajiman:
Apologies. I will reword the paragraphs to make them more clear. Yes if you are on non rooted stock 5.0, you will have to downgrade to 4.4.2 and then read the OP to flash alexndr pre rooted stock android 5
[Galaxy S 5 General] Pollie81:

[Galaxy S 5 General] wajiman:

[Galaxy S 5 General] Pollie81:
thank you very much! and offcourse you're welcome..

i was about to root my phone and i was thinking.. what the hell.. when i was preparing (reading) myself yesterday there was a lot more information.

now all is back and i just succesfully rooted my S5 without trippng Knox. again, thank you very much for this topic!

i didn't need to reboot as many users did you get knox disabled by superSU, and i didn't get any unauthorized operations messages.. all went well the first time and i just checked knox counter and installed TB.

:D

now let's make some backups and see what i'm going to do.. flash neatrom and keep knox 0x0 or try to debloat the stock one (i couldn't find any debloat list so far though).. or am i taking the dive and just going to try alexndr's lollipop version.. (i loved it on my Nexus 4!)

one thing at a time though..

A little help please?

Hi, I'm a bit of a noob when it comes to rooting, did my GS3 but that was a bit more simpler than this and I didn't need to create anything myself, so I'm wondering could someone take a look at the screenshot and what I'm about to do and let me know if it's right before I try? Would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

So, I'm going to use this rom - http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/download/36951/G900FXXU1ANI3_G900FVFR1ANI2_VOD.zip/

and extract the boot.img, convert it to .tar with this script http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2446269

then flash the Kernal from step 3 in page 1 of this thread. Root, then flash back to the Kernal I've created from the above Rom. My main questions are do I have the correct versions of Kernal ect, I've read through the thread and can't see any mentions of AN13 and don't want to brick my brand new S5. Thanks for the help guys. :)
