Hey guys, does anyone know what I need to do? I just got an unlocked AT&T S5, but I just put it on T-Mobile. It's the SM-G900A. I want to wipe it and put the most recent stock rooted ROM on it. Any advice?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] zounduser:
Is the official lollipop out yet for this?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] ShinySide:
I guess the title/op wasn't clear enough?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] zounduser:
Don't gotta b rude bro. I couldn't find what I was looking for, and I posted in a couple threads. Sorry lol. Although u are right. Ha ha.

I'm looking to root and custom recovery a S5 tmobile, cf auto root and Odin the recovery work OK?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] ShinySide:
Just skip cf auto root if you're putting a recovery on. Flash twrp/cwr/philz or whatever your choice is with odin an flash the supersu package in Chainfires superuser thread. Cf auto root is pointless if you're going to install a recovery anyway
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] zounduser:
Thank u bro. Appreciate that.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] brees75:
Dude, ibtimes is the national inquirer of the tech world. They also reported we would be getting a Nexus 10.2 which would be a 12 inch tablet and the Nexus 6 an LG phone with... You guessed it a 6 inch screen. Read them for laughs not news.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] omgbossis21:
More of the same exact touchwiz look and feel it appears to me. Android 5.0 is a complete redesign with the exact same touchwiz garbage look. Nexus 6 is looking like a possible switch in the future.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] gdmlaz:
Is more like sammobile the source of the articles and videos
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] Exel:
Nexus 6 looks ugly though.

Just a big version of the Moto X, which imo looks better.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] KoubaK:
I don't understand by people get their panties up in a bunch about TW. If you don't like the software that comes with your Samsung hardware, flash whatever pleases you. TW has grown on me since the S3... Yes, the **** makes my phone slow at times and the bloatware is another reason to hate it, but I have the option to flash AOSP or CM if I wanted it off ;)

I honestly think Lollipop-TW update will be great :D
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] GeeZus21:
CyanogenMod is 4.4.4 I have been running it for a month or so and its great!

http://download.cyanogenmod.com/?device=klte&type=
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] The Sickness:
From my understanding the S5 will get 5.0 this month. 4.4.4 will be skipped.

Seems T-Mobile will skip one firmware due to another being released already.

Another point that was in XDA News was "Lockdown" on 5.0 which pertains to root. We have unlocked bootloaders so it shouldn't affect us. BUT, that doesn't mean T-Mobile can implement it into the code. Just saying.

So I wouldn't worry about 4.4.4 at this point. The international S4 is still on 4.4.2 even though T-Mobile S4 is on 4.4.4.

So who knows. When it drops, it drops
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] BROKEN1981:
Cant we just use mobile odion pro to flash 5.0 and keep root? Not like we need up uograde bootloader.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] The Sickness:
Only problem with that is mismatched bootloader and modem. There is a lot of problems on the S4 4.4.4 if you mismatch.

Not saying it will be the case here. I'm just going to look at the firmware when it's released to see what's up
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] BROKEN1981:
I thought mobile odion pro flashed modem. Thanks for clearing that part up.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] nishan19:
cm roms dont have the features right? why use cm on this phone
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] The Sickness:
You missed my point..........

You can very well flash modems with Odin Pro......

My point is when you mismatch the bootloader and modem.

Lets say a new firmware dropped. But all you want to do is flash the modem. Sometimes thats fine. Sometimes its not. You wont be updating the LTE because it is tied to the bootloader.

For me personally, I make sure everything matches. I'm also not concerned with Knox. But to each his own...............................
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] elesbb:
Agreed.

Btw, nice to see you doooood!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] The Sickness:

Lol.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] HF4L:
If T-Mo phones are the last to get the update. Atleast it will be better than have to wait on fixes that other providers, samsung, or google run into for the update.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] mr. greenhorn:
can we flash any of the Lolli firmwares that are out currently?

Hey guys, anyone please , can we flash any one of the firmwares that have been released so far, for the 900f european variety's? Ive been searching for literally a damn week!! If we can flash a 900f firm, is odin flashing a pit file necessary as well? To anyone that answers, thank you very much
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] blackknightavalon:
Only one that can be safely flashed is the CM12 previews that are out.

Sent from my toaster
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] mr. greenhorn:
thanks alot dude!,

and danggggg it, lol all that searching for ...nothing, already had a cm version of L flashed a while back and uhhh didnt like.

didnt want to have to be using cm or aosp crap, just personally dont like the bland, repetitive look of aosp shtuff.

but thats me
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] SeaFractor:
Fortunately when it does arrive, it'll have a lot less bloat than the competing carriers. It would be best without any bloat, but T-Mobile seems to have the least so far.

As for the wait, we know it's coming. Best not to rush it and have it more prone to bugs/problems. Not a solution?

1. We've known from early Samsung phones that these do not follow the Google Nexus devices on releases. I see the same complaints with the S3 forum years again, but then again many live in caves.....

2. You purchased a Samsung because you believed that the hardware/software at the time was top notch. Had that changed?

3. Again, if you are tired waiting, get that Nexus phone next time and don't let the T-Mo GS5 forum hit your mouse on the way out...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] ShinySide:
Funniest thing is 95% of people don't even know why they want the update besides it's new. It's really just to whine and cry. For example, anyone remember the massive unbelievable whining about the multi window update on the s3? Every one finally got the update and no one used it. Haha people just want to ***** and moan and samsung users are among the worst of the whiners.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] omgbossis21:
Cant be too much longer.... I would be on cm12 but without wifi calling my phone is useless because the house I moved into gets zero signal. Considering paying the phone off and switching provider or upgrading to another phone with tmobile hoping it gets a signal in house since my girls note 2 on T-Mobile holds a bar.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] KoubaK:
Just get T-Mobile's Personal CellSpot router... that outta fix the connectivity issues :D
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] Coderedpl:
Except the cellspot depends on WiFi calling for the better connectivity
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] omgbossis21:
Yeah and it irritates me my girls note 2 wifi calling works flawless. She retains enough signal for it to work well but my s5 wont retain any signal and either disconnects or call quality is barely acceptable. Not to mention some days my texting works fine other days I get my messages hours after they are sent. My hope is the 5.0 has a upgraded radio that works better if not I will be switching phone since I know service can work here as it does with the note 2.

edited to note I have the cellspot router. If you turn your wireless off and your emergency mode only the router is useless.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] KoubaK:
Hmmm seems like I had the concept of the cellspot all wrong.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] dovedescent7:

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] KoubaK:
Oh man... you still have hopes for an early release? I am not expecting to see until later in March, we know T-Mobile. There is no way they will put out on time.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] KoubaK:
Maybe not so much as to dump the actual phone, but if people truly wants Lollipop they can install a custom ROM. For those of us who don't mind holding out, we are just cruising. Now, if I were to buy another phone, I would go with a Nexus device. The amount of bloatware loaded into our devices is ridiculous. Although Samsung is allegedly removing the bloatware and making it downloadable. - More Here
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] AxAtAx:
Hmm, my rom has no lag, I do not see where this lag is that everyone see's. My Vision rom is serious fast. It must be coming from something that is installed AFTER the fact.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] dzhowandai:
I was told that the lag and over heating may be do to kernel issues.wondering ktoonz 1/30 TW lollipop addresses those 2 issues ?

....and there goes January...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] gspears:
I'm on Omega Rom and Indie still hasn't released a LP rom. He says it's not stable enough. 4.4.2 is running great for me so I'm not worried about waiting. I love the G900T and have 0 problems with it. I use it on AT&T and purchased it specifically so I could run whatever rom I like. I've used Omega since the S2 and running it on the S5 feels like a comfortable shoe. Sooner or later (probably later) the TMO LP will drop and hopefully the issues will be worked out. Until then, I'm not worried about it.

You know what the funniest thing is? I bet 90% of people hoping for 5.0 soon will ***** once it's here. Every one wants 5.0, but go ask ANYONE that has got it or has ran aosp how much the ram consumption problem has sucked. Can anyone even give a legitimate reason why they want 5.x over 4.4.2? Anyone? Stand by for crickets, because I guarantee 1 out of 20 could state why they want it and it be legit.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] gdmlaz:
I used 5.0 and is a disaster for now there has to be a memory leak or something phones gets so laggy after using it for a while u need to be closing apps constantly..... I like the new notification on lockscreen and the settings back to white other than that 5.0 needs some tweaking fast and hopefully xposed will come to it soon I will stay with 4.4.2 till everything is worked out..... also the improvements the did to the fingerprint scanner actually help out alot that was a major thing for me
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] KoubaK:
Well you know how the saying goes, you can't have your cake and eat it too. ShinySide, it is right... a good 98% of us don't have any idea as to why we would want 5.0. Oh well, we will all sit tight and wait to see if they being pushing it out anytime soon. lol

any root method for Lollipop yet?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] eris_roote:
CF auto root worked great for me
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] kagevazquez:
anyone wanna upload

someone should have a mirror so we can get this to everyone quicker :good:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] fzammetti:
Question: after you rooted with CF, did you manually flash the Lollipop recovery? I'm just wondering, even though CF works, if when it restores recovery it's restoring an older version? I assume what it restores is packaged with it and that it's not somehow grabbing what's on the phone at the time... or it may be true that recovery hasn't changed at all and it doesn't matter... or maybe you injected the recovery.img into CF itself before starting (is the tar.md5 available yet?)... just curious. I've used CF the last few versions even though it wasn't technically updated to support it and I know it works fine and I assumed it would work for Lollipop as well, but I've always been a little worried about a recovery partition mismatch (never had cause to find out, you know?)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] Wrightperspective:
Do you have a link to the version you used? There is no current rooted kernel for this http://autoroot.chainfire.eu/

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] decimater:
Are you rooted? I tried updating while rooted just to see if it works. It Doesn't. So I removed root through supersu and deleted most of the apps that required root. Then I updated through Kies and it worked flawlessly. I like the new update to be honest. Tmobile pulled through after all :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] ridearoundsolo:
No I flashed stock firmware through odin, so I guess that's my only option now huh
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] ShinySide:
No since Mobile Odin can't flash bootloaders and other shet
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] fzammetti:
Basically, yes. But so what? It works, doesn't wipe anything, no biggie... except for having to actually be at a PC to take an update I guess, but I can live with that (and do, for all four S5's in my house).

Mine is going right now.

About rooting... I took a look and the recovery partition IS in fact new in OB1... now CF-Autoroot, I believe, works with just a modified recovery and cache partition, no modified kernel or anything... so it SHOULD work fine... but then the question is how does it restore the recovery partition? I looked at the .tar.md5 of CF and I only see a recovery.img and a cache.img, which would have to be the exploited versions, so I guess that must mean it somehow images the recovery partition before starting so it can restore it afterwards? I'm really not sure... but if it does that then it would be fine... if not, then I think you'd need to flash the OB1 recovery after rooting manually through ODIN. Not especially hard, but certainly an extra step and effort.

Because I don't know for sure how CF actually works I'm really not sure here, just trying to work it out for myself.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] ashraf sharif:
I tried it not a good idea phone wont boot
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] bigfdaddy2:
Got lollipop here ..

Wasn't rooted ...had incredible lag upon reboot ..so after 1st reboot after install just did a factory reset 3 times in stock recovery and know so much better ...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] mocsab:
I flashed Lollypop thru odin - (I am on att so I have to do it manually) I also flashed CF Auto Root (Using Kit Kat) intially my phone would not boot so I tried to get into normal recorvery to do a factory reset - but It would not go into recovery - so I think (guessing) that flashing CF Auto Root leaves your phone without recovery - this will probably be fixed when an updated CF Autoroot is made available - and Chainfire is pretty quick with those things -

as an aside, I did get my phone to reboot - and it is working nicely - but I am still not totally sure about recovery. can someone walk me thru how to flash the correct recovery manually?

EDIT - by the way I have two phones - a NOTE 4 and an S5 - I am refering to the S5 incase anyone was confused by my signature.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] The Sickness:
Why not just flash Co-Auto Root, then Odin TWRP....

Thats how I always do it
