I have a problem that happen when i recive a call , that when i answer the call by sliding the green botton , it stuck and the pron continue ringing for like 10 seconds before finally answer it , and the caller can here my voice for like 3 seconds before i hear him.

I had flashed my phone again to the lastest stock rom , and the problem just got back after like 1 week.

Any one know how to fix this?
[Galaxy S 5 General] bubbl3:
I saw a lot of confusion about the China Mobile TD-LTE version of the S5 in the owner's thread, also the explained method uses files that are not easily available and that, in my opinion are not up to standards. In general the procedure to obtain ROOT access and install Google Apps is not different than for any other phone and you need to use standard well known resources.

I will assume you are on the latest firmware, not that it should make any difference, but I only tested that one. At the moment the latest available firmware for the SM-G9008V is CHM-G9008VZMU1ANH3.

RECOVERY

1. Install Samsung USB drivers on your PC

2. Download Odin 3.07 on your PC

3. Download an ODIN flashable recovery onto your PC g9008v-cmw-recovery-6.0.4.8-en(0420).tar.md5 - 12.33 MB

4. Open odin, click the PDA button, navigate to the recovery file (tar file) you just downloaded, MAKE SURE only F. Reset Time is selected, do not select Auto reboot, this is very important!

5. Boot into download mode (hold the menu button, power button, and volume down button all together simultaneously until the device reboots)

6. When you see that odin detects your device(a colored indicator will turn on) click start

7. When Odin is done, disconnect the USB cable and pull out the battery, then boot into Recovery (hold the menu button, power button, and volume up button all together simultaneously until the device reboots)

8. Once in CWM recovery select "reboot system now". CWM will eventually ask you if you want to disable recovery reflashing and you'll be good to go (it may not ask, but in that case you are good to go anyway). This happens only at the first boot after recovery flashing.

If you do not carefully follow steps 6-7-8, the stock ROM will reflash the stock recovery and you'll have to repeat the process.

ROOT

1. Download SuperSU flashable zip from Chainfire UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.14.zip - 2.5 MB

2. Copy UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.14.zip on your External SD Card

3. Boot the phone into recovery mode (shutdown the phone, then start it pressing Volume+/up, home button and power for several seconds)

4. Select "install zip" and then "choose zip from /storage/extSdCard", locate UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.14.zip on your phone and proceed with the installation.

5. Reboot the phone and look for SuperSU, open the app and it will alert you of the presence of KNOX and ask if you want to disable it, go for it, it may take some time.

GOOGLE APPS

1. Download the KitKat official signed package from Cyanogen gapps-kk-20140105-signed.zip - 83.1 MB

2. Copy gapps-kk-20140105-signed.zip on your External SD Card

3. Boot the phone into recovery mode (shutdown the phone, then start it pressing Volume+/up, home button and power for several seconds)

4. Select "install zip" and then "choose zip from /storage/extSdCard", locate gapps-kk-20140105-signed.zip on your phone and proceed with the installation.

5. Reboot your phone and you're done.

To remove/hide bloatware I suggest to use Titanium Backup.

CHANGELOG

16/10/2014

- updated SuperSU to 2.14

- added additional steps to avoid automatic stock recovery reflash
[Galaxy S 5 General] bubbl3:
I added some steps to avoid stock recovery reflash, forgot that very important step!
[Galaxy S 5 General] Jaco_dk:
Hi bubbl3,

I was wondering if you have tried to install the gapps without a custom recovery.? The reason I am asking is that when I try to flash gapps with stock recovery I get an error message that says: signature verification failed. Tried with and without root.

I don't have exactly your phone but close, Sm-g9008w.

//Jaco
[Galaxy S 5 General] Jaco_dk:
Gave up on trying on stock recovery and installed custom recovery, then everything went smoothly.

//Jaco
[Galaxy S 5 General] bubbl3:
Yes, sorry for the late reply, you cannot flash the gapps in stock recovery.

Which recovery did you flash on your G9008W, the one in this thread?
[Galaxy S 5 General] Jaco_dk:
No problem at all, just meant I was forced to test a bit in the blind, as it really hard to find any information regarding the SM-G9008W. :)

Yeah, I used your recovery as your phone got almost the same firmware version(G9008WZMU1ANH3), so I expected that it would work and it worked like a charm.

How much bloatware did you remove with Titanium? I got a few things apps I am not sure if I can remove without any consequence.
[Galaxy S 5 General] bubbl3:
Thanks for the confirmation, there's some people that will appreciate as there is no official english recovery for the 9008W.

I basically removed all the chinese stuff and a couple of samsung apps.
[Galaxy S 5 General] bubbl3:
[MENTION=3499085]Jaco_dk[/MENTION] : there is a specific CWM for the SM-G9008W, you may want to flash this one to avoid any hidden incompatibilities: http://www.studenikin.ru/svarom/files/g9008w-cwm-recovery-6.0.5.0-en(0715).tar
[Galaxy S 5 General] gverma1:
Hi. Even I have the Chinese version G9008W and was looking how to root it with English language.

The link you gave is of a Russian site. Is the recovery in English? Are the recoveries given in OP in English?

Thanks for your replies.
[Galaxy S 5 General] bubbl3:
Yes, both recoveries are in English.
[Galaxy S 5 General] gverma1:
Thanks for your detailed step-by-step instructions. Just wanted to reconfirm in Step 8 when it asks to disable recovery reflashing - do I have to say 'yes' (disable recovery reflashing) or 'no' (don't disable recovery reflashing).

Thanks
[Galaxy S 5 General] bubbl3:
You should answer 'yes' (disable recovery reflashing)
[Galaxy S 5 General] gverma1:
Great! I had got this phone pre-rooted by the vendor and he has messed up deleting apps and deleted important stuff like keyboard, etc. I will be flashing latest stock Samsung firmware from Sammobile.com and then try your method to root. Hope that goes through fine. Will I have to flash GAPPS as well?

Also, I hope I don't lose my dual SIM functionality by rooting the stock ROM. Will I?

Thanks
[Galaxy S 5 General] bubbl3:
You will have to flash GAPPS as the original stock ROM doesn't include them, also I don't see how you can loose dual SIM functionality if you flash the stock ROM.
[Galaxy S 5 General] Jaco_dk:
Yes, I had a lot of problems finding any informations about the G9008W, that's also why I decided to write in your thread, hoped others could find it useful. :)

Nice, I will try to remove as much as possible myself then.

Thanks for the help, however I don't have any problems what so ever, so I think I will keep using yours for now. :)
[Galaxy S 5 General] BillSukh:
Does it work on SM-G9006W?

I have seen these threads for a while and I couldn't find anything related to my SM-G9006W, even on other threads, I didn't see anything about SM-G9006W. I also recently updated it to Lollilop 5, not sure if that make more complicated to install GAPPS. If you know anything about how to root this phone and install GAPPS, please let me know, I would be really appreciated. Thank you
[Galaxy S 5 General] gverma1:
Hi. G9008W has got Lollipop update. I plan to flash it after downloading from sammobile site. Will this method be still valid to root the phone running Lollipop? Will this CWM work? Of course, I'll flash Lollipop CM gapps. Thanks.
[Galaxy S 5 General] Jaco_dk:
Hi gverma1,

Have you tried it yet?

I am downloading the lolipop update right now, and I was wondering exactly the same if the CWM will work with Lolipop, as I need google play.

I will try and see if Chainfire is willing to make a new CFAuto root for Lolipop for SM-G9008W when I am done with downloading the firmware.

//Jaco
[Galaxy S 5 General] gverma1:
Downloading here myself. But on checking CWM versions for other phones including other S5 variants, the version required seems to be 6.0.4.8 whereas we have 6.0.5.0 here. So I don't think there would be any issues.
[Galaxy S 5 General] Jaco_dk:
Hi gverma1,

I just finished updating to Lolipop, and I installed the 6.0.5.0 and it works just fine.

However it didn't like the PA Gapps Nano, got stuck att starting up apps. So I am going to test some different once now.

Update. The Gapps actually worked after a factory reset.

//Jaco.
[Galaxy S 5 General] gverma1:
Worked fine for me too. I used CM12 official GAPPS.
[Galaxy S 5 General] nikhilrao1:
Hi

how to download google playstore in samsung galaxy s5 china mobile
[Galaxy S 5 General] gverma1:
Follo the op. Basically you need to root the phone first, then you can add gapps. Search for Cyanogenmod Gapps and download the CM12 gapps zip if you have Lollipop, else download CM11 gapps zip if you have KitKat. I used CWM recovery 6.8.5.0 btw on my 9008w and it works well.
[Galaxy S 5 General] Harry Jason:
I have the G9008V with Baseband Version G9008VZMUIANI4. Will it work too?
[Galaxy S 5 General] gverma1:
Since this thread is named after G9008V, it will. Just see the correct files to download in the OP.
[Galaxy S 5 General] Harry Jason:
Why do I have to reboot the system after it goes into CWM recovery? Why don't I just go ahead and install superuser zip and gapps zip? Please
[Galaxy S 5 General] gverma1:
It is best to do all the steps one by one and not try to do too many things in the same step.

Once CWM is flashed, as the OP says, pull out the battery and reboot into recovery directly without letting it boot up normally. This is to prevent automatic flashing of stock recovery. Once in CWM recovery the first time, you can select Reboot and then it will ask you to prevent stock recovery reflashing. After this, you will not need to do this step anymore in future.

After this is taken care of, we can move to the next step of flashing SuperSU.

Nice and easy - step by step.

Keep in mind you would need to download newer gapps as when I wrote this the phone was on KitKat and you'll probably be on lollipop right now.

[Galaxy S 5 General] Raja Rao:
Can I flash a rooted phone SM-G900FD with SM-G9008W stock ROM.

With the flashed ROM will the language be Chinese or English can be chosen.

Will the LTE Band B40 (2300Mhz) be available with this flashing, since 9008W supports B40, so that Airtel 4G can be used.
[Galaxy S 5 General] alvinm:
Hello I was wondering how did you use CMW recovery 6.8.5.0 on lollipop because I used the 6.0.4.8 on lollipop it worked but google services pop out errors or not responding while in kitkat it was just running just fine. Please help. Thanks.
[Galaxy S 5 General] Jhoward22:
SM-G9008V No gapps

Hey I just finished trying these steps a few days ago and my recovery failed to flash on my Galaxy S5 through odin. Any ti or ideas that can help me? Please. :)
[Galaxy S 5 General] upsydown:
made a mess

hi guys.. I know this is an old thread, but I followed the steps here to my same model phone bought in china and the recovery through Odin worked great. however, the root bit, destroyed my android the moment I pressed yes to install the superSU....zip

the only thing I can do to it now is go on recovery and do the same thing again and again or else it will just serve as a paperweight with the word Samsung on the screen loading in vain..

can someone here think about what could have gone wrong and is there a solution to fix the phone?

would really appreciate some help as I'm not in a big city and Chinese is not my forte.
[Galaxy S 5 General] Jhoward22:
Step 1: Frist boot into download mode holding volume up, home button, power button at the same time.

Step 2: Re-download your SM-G9008V firmware from sammobile website also download odin from their site.

Step 3: Extract the odin zip file and open it. Now select the PDA button and locate the firmware file.

Step 4: When odin recognizes your device click start.

Step 5: Once your device is done reboot back into download mode and re-flash your recovery file you have.

Step 6: Boot into recovery (I assume u already know how) and select install and re-flash the super su zip.

Then flash the Gapps zip file. Reboot and your done.

Let me know how everything goes and if you have any problems. :)

great phone saving [MENTION=7335881]Jhoward22[/MENTION]

the firmware was really the problem.. after that fixed, everything went smooth.

now i have the phone with gapps as well without the infernal constant message telling playstore stopped, but the installation of apps is not happening yet..

any ideas there?

i'm using a vpn to access my account since i'm inside the great firewall of china
[Galaxy S 5 General] Jhoward22:
My bad for responding so late but my best guess is to do some research on it. I really don't know to much about getting around the great fire Wall of China since I'm in the United States. [MENTION=5544430]upsydown[/MENTION]
[Galaxy S 5 General] pranavkafle:
I tried to do the same in my G9008w and I could successfully install the recovery and root the phone but as soon as I install the gapps and reboot the phone, Google play services will crash so much it renders my phone unusable. How do I install gapps? Help.
[Galaxy S 5 General] pranavkafle:
How did you remove all the Chinese stuff? In my g9008w, if I do a factory reset then a bundle of Chinese apps will install on its own. I can't find the culprit app that does that. I want to have english keyboard as well. Please give me a list of all the apps I should remove. Thank you.

---------- Post added at 05:39 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:27 AM ----------

Yes, after you install the Gapps, you need to go to settings>apps and turn on the permission for everything for each google app you installed. It crashes because it does not have proper permission.
[Galaxy S 5 General] Jhoward22:
Do you guys know that lineage OS 7.1.1 is out for our phones?
[Galaxy S 5 General] pranavkafle:
No... Really? g9008w?
[Galaxy S 5 General] Jhoward22:
Yep and I got it installed on my SM-G9008V, but I think it should work on all Chinese Galaxy S5.

Theres Lineage OS for Kltechn which is G9008V G9006V

Theres Lineage OS for Kltechnduos which is G9006W G9008W

Once I get home I'll send you a screenshot of mine if you want.
[Galaxy S 5 General] pranavkafle:
Is it smooth? I would love to see the screenshots. Tons of them :D Thank you. :)
[Galaxy S 5 General] Jhoward22:
Ok I'll send some screenshots once I get home...But yeah it's real smooth so far and the only real problems I've had was some random reboots when using snapchat, but after a couple of updates it's gotten better.

American Note 7 Rom Port that work with Kltechn ( G9008V, G9006V). Im not sure about G9008W and G9006W.

https://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s5/development/rom-skiesrom-ux-v1-1-note7-t3519130

Also theres TWRP 3.0:

This will work with all Chinese S5 G9008V, G9008W etc.
[Galaxy S 5 General] Jhoward22:
Here's 3 screenshots & let me now if u want to see any specific screenshots.
[Galaxy S 5 General] Huckleberry88:
This method works also perfectly, if you have the official 6.0.1 on your G9008V (the latest official ROM).

I just upgraded to the Nightly Lineage OS 14.1-20170726 without any problems

(used the newest versions of TWRP (instead of CWM) and SuperSU)

Does magisk work fine?

Has anyone here tried to use any tools to unlock more LTE bands? For example unlocking more US bands with QPST/QXDM? Or even the Network Guru Tool?

Even though your post is from 2017, I would be interested in whether it worked out for you with additional LTE bands?

re: xposed framework & wanam

I uninstalled xposed framework and wanam because I noticed that if they are

active it makes the screen scrolling in most any app and launcher scrolling

from home screen to home screen after a while the scrolling gets stuck for a

few seconds intermittently. (like a slight delay where the phone feels like it locked up)...

The phone never done that before installing xposed framework and wanam.

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sic_lic1o1:
I had the samething happened to me. I didn't think of uninstalling xposed. I had to odin back 2 twice because removing root and doing the factory reset just made the phone rebooting. Everything ran great until i installed xposed. Its ruuning great now without xposed app. Don't want to mess with it anymore.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] knarfies:
I've noticed this too. You think its just something that can be fixed with updates to xposed? to calibrate it to work smoother with the note 4?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RiffyDivine:
Been using it since I got my unit and it works perfectly every time unless I swipe across it sideways or something weird like that. Also on the subject of xposed I loaded it onto the phone and had nothing but issues and massive slow downs, once I removed it the phone went back to normal. So I guess xposed just isn't ready yet.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chong67:
I like it and I have no problem.

You get 10 times to record it, so I swipe it straight, sideways, that way, this way, etc

It work for me!
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] knarfies:
it slowed the phone down and froze as well on mine but i noticed that it had to do something with gaining root access. Like installing aftermarket apps took forever as the installation process just hung when on wifi. (dont ask me but i noticed the wifi would reconnect and the the app installed). After a while though, (app settings started actually working) the device was snappy. Not sure if the system needed to settle or what but everything seems to be working fine. The only thing not working for me is the private mode. Without private mode, i have no use for the fingerprint and with the spigen neo hybrid, i cant get it to actually register my heart rate so unless i take the case off i wont be using that either i suppose.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RiffyDivine:
I just assumed xposed just wasn't ready for the note 4 yet. I got a lot of weird issues the moment I put it on and it was like pulling teeth to remove it because I came to depend on a lot of stuff it did. But I am sure it will get an update and be working again. It was just weird to see how crappy the system got all of a sudden, I had 4 photos on my phone and not linked to dropbox or drive but when I tried to open the gallery it would hang for 2 minutes before displaying the four images. I think we maybe expecting to much from a phone that isn't "out" yet (or was today the launch date)
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] knarfies:
i didn't have that issue but i did notice hangs in and out of numerous apps. to be honest, i haven't noticed it anymore though. It felt as though something was going on in the background and now that its done, it seems to have smoothed out. i wish i had the same experience with the fingerprint scanner though. I noticed when swiping down with my pointing finger, that it registers pretty well but when we hold our device... we typically use our thumbs and i couldn't get my thumb to unlock the phone as well as my pointing finger.
