******S5 ACTIVE!******

My first attempt at this ROM building stuff. It gets kinda addicting when you get into it. It's a major time suck. :)

I figured if I could get this one to work I would share it.

I tested it out on my very own S5 Active.

Based on Stock Firmware G870AUCU1ANE4 with little, if none of it changed.

Pretty close to a complete Stock ROM.

-Rooted

-busyboxed

-de-Knoxed

-zipaligned

-de-Odexed

-Init.d support

-custom boot animation suport

-a couple other things I can't think of at the moment.

DOWNLOAD

Installation:

-Download to your sdcard

-Boot into Safestrap recovery

-Factory Reset

-Flash to Stock Slot

-reboot

It'll probably take 5 minutes or so to load.

As far as I can tell, everything is working.

The Device Status will be "Custom" I think. [MENTION=3758230]cstayton[/MENTION] has a guide in this forum to fix that if you're picky about that kind of thing. If not I hope to get around to straightening that out.

To do list -

Fix Device Status "Custom" to "Official"

if you want you can add these APN settings under Settings>More Networks>Mobile Networks>Access Point Names. They seem to work better for some people

Name: ATT Phone

APN: phone

Proxy: Not set

Port: Not set

Username: Not set

Password: Not set

Server: Not set

MMSC: http://mmsc.mobile.att.net

MMS proxy: proxy.mobile.att.net

MMS port: 80

MCC: 310

MNC: 410

Authentication type: Not set

APN type: default,admin,fota,mms,supl,hipri,dun,att

APN enable/disable: Enabled

Bearer: Unspecified

Changelog:
9/1/14 - v1.2 - Fixed the APN issue.
Added support for custom boot animation.

8/31/14 - v1.1 - Removed Automatic OTA updates.
Have to manually add APN's till I figure out how to add them
back to where ever they disappeared.
Somehow it got broked.

8/22/14 - v1 - initial release

It should really go without saying that if you're messing around with this...there is a chance something could go wrong...your device may suffer, rather than benefit from this. I can't be held responsible and your warranty is void.

There are guides to get you back to a fresh start if needed. This one by [MENTION=5031008]LuckyColdJohnson[/MENTION] works perfectly....I've used it myself.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] Nickovtyme:
Well, it's a start. The real fun and work is coming cause I have a few ideas.....

I suppose I could put some screenshots in there but we all know how it looks.. :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] LuckyColdJohnson:
GREAT !!!!! Nice work man. Thanks for this. Active gettin some love now. This phone is a beast !!!!

Congratulations on your first ROM !!!!! Downloading now.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] cstayton:
I'm going to finish up the last release of KoolKit and now that you have a budding young developer [MENTION=3522523]Nickovtyme[/MENTION] at the helm who actually owns the device I will be passing on what knowledge I have to him. I'll still be around tweaking and modding but my project list has grown faster than i had expected and I need to start concentrating on some that have fallen by the way side.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] gregsarg:
Sounds like [MENTION=3522523]Nickovtyme[/MENTION] just got busy...LOL

All good...

It's great to see development happening for the active....it's a brute...

Thanks to both of you for the exceptional work....g
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] Nickovtyme:
I probably won't do much to this ROM...I figured I'd keep it stock and low key.

it could be a good starting point for someone new or if someone screwed up and needs a fresh clean start.

The next one I work one will have more tweaks and stuff.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] GDofWR420:
Thanks for the active love. This is an awesome phone and I wish a brilliant Dev could rape this bootloader so we can have custom kernel action. But all in all I'm satisfied, it will happen or it wont. only time will tell.

is this rom for galaxy s5 or galaxy s5 active??

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] cstayton:
title says it all "[ROM] *****S5 Active!***** Stock-Rooted and More [8/22/14]"
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] Nickovtyme:
I suppose you could flash it on the S5....probably will lose some functionality and maybe have some stuff that don't quite Work right.

But for the S5 Active
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] Nickovtyme:
From your lips to the device Gods. I'd love to see this joker cracked. And who knows....it could happen. I remember when the Atrix came out...the bootloader was never cracked but then one day...Motorola releases an unlocked bootloader for it. Also...the HTC thunderbolts bootloader was cracked in 3 days...but that was back when devs seen it as a challenge and accepted it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] GDofWR420:
I still think it could happen, and who knows it maybe in the works. But if someone is working on it I don't blame for being quiet about it till they have something concrete.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] BuLLitz:
I need to acquire root so that I can change my S5 Actives build.prop to think it is NOT an S5 Active.

The reason I want to do this is because there are limited apps in my Gear Manager.

I don't know why that is so for the Active model.

I cannot use towelroot since my phone OTA update occurred on Friday.

Are updates disabled using this process?

And, is Gear Manager available on this ROM?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] cstayton:
unfortunately if you recieved the OTA, you'll now longer be able to root your device until a new exploit comes out.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] Nickovtyme:
This ROM as far as I know still had the updates.apk. I didn't do much to this. So if you flash it you'll have to turn off/freeze the update.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] Nickovtyme:
I'm not sure what gear manager is as I don't see it on my device.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] BuLLitz:
Ok... check this out...

Gear Manager is the downloader of apps to your Samsung Gear2 or Gear2 neo device.

For some peculiar reason which I cannot understand, when I go into the Gear Manager(Downloadable from the Samsung Apps), I have a very small handful of apps. The same is true for ANYONE with an Active using the stock roms.

However... If you have a standard S5, there are TONS of apps that you can download for your Gear2.

I am trying to find a way to root my phone so that I can get access to those apps. The problem is with the phone being an Active model.

But, if what Nickovtyme posted is true, that because my phone already updated I cannot have root, then this is all mute.

I was hoping that I would still be able to load a rooted rom (or something?).

Don't mind me... I am a noob.

:)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] Nickovtyme:
I see...no wonder. I dont have any galaxy gear.

Its true though...if you updated then root is no more until another exploit is found.

I haven't heard but you may still be able to down grade with Odin and reroot. Ill see if I can find that thread. Its worth a try.

I just tried it on my phone and it was working. Try using the Mega app.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] daltonhrrll:
It started working again like a half hour after I posted that, I'm running the ROM right now lol I had to enter an APN though after first boot the one it had didn't work, also I can't seem to get ART to work on here the phone reboots but it still says dalvik under Dev settings
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] LuckyColdJohnson:
Art is no good and will probably die......Unless Google wants to continue it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] Z51:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] daltonhrrll:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] Nickovtyme:
Really? Hmmm....the apn settings work for me. Weird that.

I've not played around with art too much...each time I have its done weird stuff.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] Nickovtyme:
****NOTE****

I haven't had time to fix it (or work on the other ROM I want to for that matter) ...if you do happen to flash this....the OTA update from AT&T will probably try to update.

AFTER FLASH - FREEZE OR UNINSTALL THE AT&T SOFTWARE UPDATE, SAMSUNG PUSH SERVICES, LOCALFOTA AND SECURITY POLICIES apks using Titanium Backup or your app of choice.

This should prevent the update. I'll fix the build soon so it won't be an issue.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] Nickovtyme:
Updated OP. Link is up...took freaking all night with my crappy wifi :)...download V1.1 if your feeling frisky and don't mind a little user interaction till I get around to fixing a couple thing.

Be patient please...we all started somewhere and I'm (with the help of [MENTION=3758230]cstayton[/MENTION]) slowly getting it straightened out.

if you have any suggestions or help... message me or post it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] Nickovtyme:
I think I've fixed the APN problem. Am fixing to flash the new build on my device and test it out. If it works right will update OP and link.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] cstayton:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] Nickovtyme:
Well...the issue Im having is when I decompile the secsettings.apk....using your guide is for the S5 and my lines and parameters don't seem to be the same....unless I missed something.

So I'm having to try and find then match it up
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] cstayton:
use VTS make sure you have the matching frameworks installed, values will be different based on your build, thats what makes this tricky if you search in the public.xml youll be able to find the correct values

if all else fails upload your framework-res.apk, systemui.apk and twframework-res.apk and your secsettings.apk and ill pop it out for you
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] Nickovtyme:
OK...but let me give the old college try first. I haven't given up. Each time I'm that much closer to figuring it out :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] Nickovtyme:
lol
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] Nickovtyme:
Ill be honest...I'm not a coder or dev. I've totally been learning this on the fly. Java/smali, is no joke and researching on how it all comes together has been eye opening.

I could take the easy way out and have a real dev fix this for me (@cstayton has offered) but there'll be more satisfaction when I do.

Plus....all I'm learning can't be a bad thing.

I have all of my updates disabled as far as I know.

In Titanium Backup I have frozen the following:

AT&T Software Update 192.10.140521

Konx Notification Manager 2.0

Security policy..._v2_1409_2_1

I have been researching whether or not I want the update. Its been so long since I rooted my S5 that I cant remember why I rooted to begin with.

I have been considering whether I want to re enable the ability to update, to allow the update to loli-pop, but am afraid that I could brick my phone due to Knox.

Anyhow, if someone has a stock root with this update that would be great so I don't have to un-do everything again.

Anyone know how to get past the voicemail settings option when setting up Google Voice on Null23?

It gets to the carrier settings and crashes the app every time, even is you choose to skip the settings.

Google voice thinks the Gear is a phone, on a tablet it doesn't ask you any of those questions because

it thinks the device is not voice enabled.

Hi,

I have a problem that I'm hoping you guys can help me with:

I bought my Nexus 5 from the US Play Store but I live in Europe, which is why my LTE isn't working.

Now I have a friend who has the opposite situation, living in the States but having a European N5.

Now our idea was to simply switch phones, but we don't know how to do with while keeping all the data.

Is there any way to backup EVERYTHING into a file which each of us could flash so it would be like the both of us had the same phone as before, only with working LTE?

Thanks in advance.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
Please use descriptive thread titles in future

Yes, if you can root both phones without unlocking the bootloader (unlocking wipes phones), flash a custom recovery then do a nandroid backup (EXCLUDING EFS) then copy /sdcard to your pc.

OR use carbon (Although I cannot guarantee its everything).

Although it is much easier and safer to start fresh.

All guides etc are in the link in my signature, except - if you want root without unlocking bootloader, you'll have to try your luck with the towelroot app.

Anyway read up and you may figure it out but if you're a stranger to rooting, I wouldn't recommend it.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kaeptn1:
Yeah sorry for the title, couldn't think of any description.

In fact both our phones are rooted and have a custom recovery, I wasn't sure about the nandroid backup process though.

Thanks a lot for your help.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
Nandroid from recovery will backup everything except sdcard. So do a nandroid backup to sdcard and copy To PC

Just ensure you DO NOT backup or restore efs.
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] Syzzer:
Hi all,

Since last friday I'm the happy owner of an S200, until sunday atleast. After a soft-reset, initiated from windows, my device won't boot anymore. It hangs in the red-green-blue bootloader screen (says: IPL 2.09, SPL 2.09). I've tried soft-resets and hard-resets, but the device would consequently keep hanging in the bootloader.

So for the past few days I've been searching the web and just managed to update the ROM. I was expecting that updating the ROM succesfully would mean my device would boot again, but it still keeps hanging in the bootloader (saying IPL 2.09 SPL 2.15 now, so the update did take place).

Does anyone has any idea whats wrong with my phone? Or how to fix this? Please help.
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] Syzzer:

I've been searching further and tried to do a SD dump, but I'm getting the message I don't got enough rights to perform a SD dump. This meens my S200 isn't CID unlocked. Is there any way to CID unlock the device without the need of booting into WM?

Hello, if you are having bootloader screen right after starting your mobile (prophet) check if your camera button is depressed since i had the similar problem. In my case i had to disassembly the phone in order to fix it. Right after fixing the button it worked fine :)
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] cmonqtek:
hi syzzer,

i really feel with you - why? - i have the exactly same problem. after i tried to upgrade my rom from o2-germany to another one the device isn't starting anymore and hangs in the beautiful-colored bootloader. and now, if i just even want to re-install the same or another rom, doesnt matter which one, the s200 wont start again. i think this is a really unlucky situation for us to stand alone with our weak pda =) hoping for more help, otherwise we have to take up our warranty and try to get it fixed by the store we did buy it (if a rom-update damage is still in warranty :))

good luck
