Did you install busybox and then terminal emulator? After that put the following commands in the terminalȘ

su

dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0 of=/sdcard/out.pit bs=8 count=580 skip=2176

The problem is that I want to install a firmware for another carrier and it fails saying that volume size is too big. From what I read, this happens because partitions are different so I need a proper PIT file to fix this

[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndroidGX:
Currently trying to cook another rom since it seems I have root problem as default with previous one I shared.

Need some more test (and learn some more things also) before releasing an official thread, stay tuned :good:

Not the full rom again but here is my updated "updater-script", replace it withing the rom test zip that I shared to both of you guys, it will work :)
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fgth90:

[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndroidGX:
Well just testing another cooked rom yet, but unfortunately, it seems I'am facing another problem, like quoted above I have a root issue (no binary installed even if properly included in the rom via the kitchen) and the cruel thing is that even after flashing cf-root after my rom, it breaks root anyway (and breaks also the recovery since it flash back the stock recovery), so ... :(

I guess it's due to some more protection included in the rom or maybe the rom firmware that I'am cooking then.. I will try tomorrow in another firmware to be sure.

La lutte continue... :angel:

Stay tuned!

*edit*: it seems that for now or the G901F, we have choice between beeing stock via odin or using my rom optimized without beeing rooted. Damn...

Hi team

very nice to see people working on snap 805 galaxy s5, just 2 questions : can you check into your phone the firmware camera, is it sony isocell ?

in the galaxy s4 the exynos got sony and the snap got sammy cam ...

What are the best rom you use ? and why xda does not create thread for our model ? because it should replace the older snap 801 ... ?

Well they do have some CSC network optimizations. By the way, do they have VoLTE or not yet?

I am asking this, because I am about to buy the G901F and this was my only concern!

I can find relatively good prices in some German and Dutch sites, and from what they all suggest, this phone is branded. So all I want to do afterwards, is to get rid of the branding of course! So my queries were:

a) Knox affected (Warranty) - you already made me happy with your response!

b) Is there any official de-branded Samsung factory ROM that I can use for flashing with ODIN?

c) If (b) is also YES >> In the future will I be able to upgrade to a latest official ROM via OTA? Or will I have to use ODIN to do manually?

That's it really... and thanx in advance!

[edit] I intend to use the phone in Greece (but still want it to operate worldwide!)
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fgth90:
If you really don't want to modify knox count, in my opinion, best to do is to flash firmware of your choice from here

http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/ (search for g901F model in search area)

test and flash the one which fits you (all without loosing knox waranty).

All these firmwares are official ones, so OTAs will work on it.

Good luck in your searches

Seems a sad situation for this phone :( given I ordered from EE looks like I will get this model but absolutely no dev support :(

I think waiting wont yield much results because dev's will skip over this and eventually goto the S6.

I am used to doing image backups with recovery, so I guess the best I can hope for assuming I get this model is to root the phone (Dont care about this knox thing) and hope that is enough to get it to work how I want. Wouldnt mind a debloat list of which apps to remove.

Hello!

I dont know if my post belongs here but I have a question for you guys.

I recently bought a S5 4G+ phone (G901F), software version 4.4.4, and I want to root it.

I need to mention that I never rooted an android device and I'm a "noob" in this area.

I found a simple tutorial on the internet but I cant post the link on this forum because I dont have 10 post yet. The root method involves a CF-Auto-Root.tar file and the Odin program.

Could anything go wrong with this method?

Also, I have another question :

I read online that by the end of this month the 5.0 update will be avaible for my phone model. If I root my phone now, can I make the 5.0 update? I read on some sites that updating a rooted phone can brick it.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikey187lfc:
Hay no_biggie

You can try it but I'd back up all your data first. I had problems with root as it got stuck in bootloop for this modal. I did sort it but it can be a pain if you don't back up you rom like i did.

You can make the update but you need to install xposed mod and change the phone status from custom to official.

If you need help I'll be happy to try and help

on the philz recovery thread i found this

"A working example :

-save your data partition on an external sd card.

- toggle (enable) ext4 <--> f2fs conversion

- format (with f2fs filesystem) the /data AND /data/media partition

- restore your data into the /data partition.

Remember, as concerns the f2fs filesystem, you need an appropriate lollipop kernel. Mine works exactly as an usual one without f2fs support, but is still in a WIP state and not satisfactory enough for an every day use when /data is f2fs formatted."

im really new and noob to understand all this issues about f2fs! [IMG=""]

Hi,

Does anybody have a full list of working recoveries for the 901F (with pros and cons for each would be good)?

I used TWRP on my last phone (an S3), but I hear good things (and a few bad) about philz. What's the concensus?

THANKS

~S
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chrcol:
There is 3 recoveries.

One CWM, basic recovery, works as it is supposed to.

Early version of philz, works on basic functions such as backups, restores and rom flashing, but some of the fancier stuff like adjusting brightness doesnt work, even with that in mind, its better than the basic CWM as can adjust the compression amongst other things.

A newer version of philz which should be ok but I havent tried yet.

I think its unlikely we will see a TWRP but you never know.
