[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] Christopher3712:
This is well documented in the forums here. It's a matter of downloading a toolkit. As far as downgrading, I wouldn't worry about that just yet. I bought one brand new out of the store for my gf 2 weeks ago that was on original firmware. You have a nexus. Those were virtually built to be customized and tampered with. Know that when you leave that line, nothing will ever be as simple as it was (in regard to tinkering) with it. Time to put on your big boy pants. :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] kvillafana:
Lol seems like it thanks for the info
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] aooga:
Rooting the S5 (or any samsung device with an unlocked BL) is insanely simple. No idea why people make it out to be so hard. It actually takes LESS steps than a Nexus. You just boot into download mode, flash TWRP, and when you reboot it'll ask you if you want to root. Click yes, and boom, you're rooted and have a custom recovery.

EDIT: Oh, and as long as you don't mess with the system partition, you can take OTAs in TWRP and keep root.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] kvillafana:
Well I disagree with it being less steps than my nexus all I did was download towel root app bootunlocker app and flash twrp via flashify. It took me 10 min
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] aooga:
Okay, it takes even less than 10 mins to install both recovery and root. Whatever...your opinion.

[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] Fr4gg0r:
Is there a similar interface to http://electronics.stackexchange.com/a/46918 to force charging while the device acts as a USB host?

Does anyone know which resistor value is required to otherwise enable charging?
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] kabaldan:
It should certainly work, as the phone should be able to act in OTG mode while being charged at the same time, when placed in Motorola lapdock.

There are (at least) some 100k and 200k (between pin 4 and 5, I assume) tests present in kernel (emu detection) that switch the behaviour, but I didn't need to look into it too closely so far. You'll have to study the source and experiment...

Nope it does not.

Factory reset only Clears out use added content apps and Personal Settings. To get back to stop you will ..

1 Download the Correct Latest Version Of Android From Sam-mobile or Samsung For your Device.

2. Download odin for your device

3. Make sure you can access your device from windows or os your using.

4. Follow instructions for getting into download mode and flashing the samsung firmware with odin from your computer.

5 . Reboot the device and Leave it be..

Never flash anything on any Device until you know how to get back.

There are many Threads with step by step details on the above. even many youtube videos..

Good Luck
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DjMattRobz:
Hey,

I don't think you have to flash back to a stock ROM in order to upgrade to a different ROM. I was able to upgrade my tab with 4.1.2 (I can't remember what ROM it was) right to GNABO then a few hours later to Carbon, and a few hours later to Hyperdive and I'ts running fine with no issues besides the Aroma freezing, but what else is new...

You shouldn't have to flash back to a stock ROM to flash to a modified ROM, reason being is the modified ROM Flashes over the current ROM on the device, so the original ROM will be deleted anyways. The new ROM contains the updates for you, that's the advantage of androids. I recommend trying a few OS's before you pick the one for you stick with it. If you want to go stock there is a thread somewhere in the DEV section with the stock ROM just do some searching.

Make sure when you install a ROM to ;

Backup your device and make sure to keep a copy of the backup to your pc!

Boot into CWM Recovery or TWRP

Wipe data / factory reset

Wipe cache

Wipe dalvik cache

Install ROM from SD

Good Luck

Flash

1. Is the pre-rooted one supposed be flashed with Flashtool and that is it? What about Bootloader? (mine is locked)

Edit: flashed via Recovery I meant. Probably a full wipe is required.

2. Can the stock FTF be rooted with towelroot? (the last method I know about being the easiest)

1. You can flash if you already got NUTs dual recovery. You don't need unlocked bootloader AFAIK

2. Towelroot used and exploit which would be patched in build made later than may or something. So I don't think so.

Hello,

I've bought my Xperia SP approx. one year ago, and I've noticed recently that (a lot) of dust was present under the screen. Lately, a small hair found its way right next to the volume button. It's a bit more annoying that a few points of dust :laugh:

Do you know if there's anything a can do to get rid of those ? I can't find the passage they used to get under the screen.

Do you think that these kind of issues can be taken under warranty by Sony ?

I tried to go to a few repair shop and they don't seems to be interrested in helping me. The last one I saw told me that they need to break the phone to get those out, and fully repair the screen (which costs pretty much the price of the phone).

[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thalekick:
Hello,

I recently bought a S5 in the netherlands (i live and use the phone in belgium). Started it up, everything works fine. I make one phonecall as required for the regionlock, works fine.

Then something strange happens, after the one phonecall required, i cant accept or make phonecalls anymore.

I get a message "your phone has been locked due to security reasons"

Now the weird thing is, if i use a simcard from another carrier, the phone just works fine, no locking whatsoever...

Called Samsung support, told the story, they tell me phone is region locked and i need to get a code, but the phone never asks me for a code nor can i put one in anywhere.

So i called my provider, they tell me the phone is blacklisted probably but they cant check that...

After some research i found out the phone is actualy from UK with an international firmware on it: G900FXXU1ANG2 (countrycode BTU)

Anyone have an idea how to get rid of this problem?

I dont want to root the phone just yet in case i have to exchange it for another one.

Would it help to get the countryspecific stock firmware installed for my country? (Belgium)

thanks a lot for the help ;)

[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fffft:
You'd get better help if you gave us more details, notably verbatim error messages, rather than paraphrasing.

Your provider can certainly tell you if your phone is blacklisted since an IMEI blacklist is under their direct control. So ask them again to clarify that. Region locking is much more likely though. Samsung region locks phones to prevent grey market sales, which is exactly what you've tried to do. The region lock is released after you use the phone a short while with a provider in the original region, which sounds like the UK in your case. Region locking is also a type of blacklist, although that term is almost always used to refer to carrier IMEI blacklisting unless otherwise specified.

As you didn't make any preliminary calls in the UK, nor apparently did the previous owner (or vendor), the phone is now restricted. You could travel to the UK and use your phone there for a day to dissipate the region lock. Or a lot of people claim that a regular SIM unlock code, such as you can buy on Ebay or any number of other places will also remove the region lock (unconfirmed). Or you can root your phone and circumvent the region lock by editing the blocked regions in your customer.xml file.

There are lots of existing threads on this subject, as you would know if had you done a search. Refer to those for further elaboration or you can search my post history as I've posted in detail how to remove the region lock in previous posts.

[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thalekick:
Thanks for the reply, this forum was my last resort since i didnt understand the problem.

I dont get any error messages at all.

provider A in S5 --> while calling i get the message phone blocked for security reason

provider A in S4 mini --> works perfectly

Provider B in S5 --> works perfectly

so i thought problems lies with faulty simcard, exchanged it but problem stays

when i call samsung they tell me its a provider problem

when i call my provider they say its a phone problem

in europe shouldnt matter realy where you buy your phone since there's free traffic of goods and services. I wonder if the webshop knows they are selling UK phones, ill talk to them about it tomorrow.

thanks again for the reply ill try to get the problem sorted, if that doesnt work at all, i guess ill just root it and fix the problem :)

[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vndnguyen:
Humh, sounds weird.

Use the code *#7465625# (*#SIMLOCK#) to check for the lock status. On some devices this code needs root to launch.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fffft:
If I understood you correctly, your SIM card works properly in other phones. So your SIM card shouldn't be the issue. If your S5 is SIM unlocked (carrier unlocked), you could try someone else's SIM card in your S5 to rule out less common problems e.g. bent SIM socket.

And regardless, in your place, I'd open a support ticket with your provider. That should cover anything like a IMEI blacklist. All in all though it does sound like region locking. Which is Samsung blocking a phone from being used in a different region unless it has been first activated (i.e. used for a few calls) in the original region first. I wouldn't think that a region lock between two parts of Europe would be intentional, but it is still something to look into.

Without any explicit error messages, it is difficult to narrow down the cause. You might consider installing a logcat app to capture the system log which may have more information about the error.

Also try dialing *#06* and ensure that you have a valid IMEI (not all zeros)

And dial *#0011#. You should see a (IMEI) certificate "Pass"if at the end. If it says IMEI CERTI: FAIL or NA you may have a flash error or IMEI blacklist.

I find B508 is way better than international kitkat roms. For google play, go to the Huawei app store app and then search for google play and install it. or alternately download google play apk file and install it.
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] osstis:
I believe that "white screen with orange WO logo" it's in your case a bootloader mode so type "fastboot flash recovery {here type your stock recovery file name.img} after that, force update.app (P6 Unicom EMUI2.0) (power and both volumes) make sure you got update.app in sd/dload folder and then just update to B132.

Your recovery file should be placed in adb folder
