[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] noobtoob:
I left the note 3 and am happy with this phone. Battery is just about the same for the usage I put it through. I miss the use of s pen for a few things here and there, but that's about it. Only regret is not having an external SD card, but an otg cable kept handy does the trick quite well. The n5 is a great device, I played with one for a while, but I would probably get this one over it if I had the choice. I've had no issues with yellow band or any loops. But for people who mess with their device issues are to be expected. Isn't that why we are all here to begin with?
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zephiK:
The negative people tend to be more vocal.

Ghost swipes have been fixed, it was a problem on Synaptics, not OnePlus or Cyanogen.

battery life is a lot better on OPO than N5. its day and night difference.
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] beaver2233:
I moved from the n5 to the opo primarily because of the battery life - well worth it on that front. Though it will take a while to get used to the size difference.
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jackpollard:
I'm somewhat in the same boat as you, I'm coming from my N5 to the OPO. Battery life was bothering me with the N5, I had Franco's kernel, Greenify, etc. and nothing would really help. I was lucky enough to get an invite and figured why not, I will pass any phone I don't use to 1 of my kids, so no loss. I really anticipated the N6 and I was very disappointed with the price and the whole carrier thing, I hate to be indebted to ATT, but at $650, buying it was out of the question. Anyway, I got my OPO a few days ago and have to say I'm really enjoying it. I unlocked the bootloader, loaded TWRP and rooted it immediately, it would be painful to do that after you've got it all loaded up. It's been extremely smooth, fast and responsive, I love the additional real estate thats a real pleasure, the battery is lasting significantly longer, but I will keep an eye on it during the next few weeks. I've not had any of the issues I've seen others have, so thats also a relief.

CM is a very thorough ROM and has pretty much everything I would want and will not even bother with xposed at this point. Now I think the headphone/mic thing is a bit of a pita, something to do with 2 wiring standards and OPO's choice, but both headphones I use are ok.

So all in all I'm pretty happy with my choice. Good luck.
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] J_Dutch:
I also moved from the N5 to the OPO. I sold my N5 for the amount of money I needed to buy the OPO so it was easy for me.

I did it for the camera and especially the battery life. Both things are exceptional on the OPO compared to the N5.
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mr_raider:
My main issue is the size. It was this or the gen 2 Moto X which not much bigger than the N5. We'll see how it goes. My wife can always use it and I'll sell her N4 for 50 bux.
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PaoloMix09:
I haven't had any problems at all with the phone and I flash a lot. Phone is the fastest and smoothest ever... Should totally go for the 1+1.

to OP: Yes, buy it and give the N5 to your wife. You won't regret it, plus, the newer 1+1s should not have yellow banding. I have no problems with my phone at all.

Hello all. anyone knows what the heck is going on ?

i have it pluged in to the ac charger. charge light is on and the starts charging. then all of a sudded it starts to loose power while charging. what fives ?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] EastExpert:
Problems with charger physical connection may be?

Your cat or wifey plugging off (even slightly) the plug out of the power socket.

Or may be charger cable loose in the mini-USB slot on Universal?

Did the amber charging light also go out?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Hovhannes:
the htc shows charging but noting happens.

orange light is on
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] EastExpert:
As I've noticed, charging is handled by ROM. When you reset your device it doesn't start until Windows Mobile greeting blue screen is displayed.

If the amber light is on, everything's fine on the physical part.

I suggest you soft reset your device and try charging again -- could be the piece of software responsible for charging hung or went into instable state.

Can anyone confirm that this works
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] iworkout:
Thanks for posting this method - I just got a new S5 that came with NH5 and was about to try it, but the files you linked to don't match the files in your description.

"NE6 BOOT.ZIP" links to a file called "NE6Kernel.zip"

In Step 3, you say it should unzip to "NE6 BOOT.IMG" but instead the file is "boot.tar.md5"

The same goes for your NH5 link & the file inside.

Should I just ignore the mismatched file names and follow the same instructions?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] galaxyuser88:
Yes just ignore the file names and follow the steps. Cause inside the zip they are correct file name--- Boot.tar.md5 is actually a kernel that you are installing to get root. And pc odin does not reconize any other name but boot.tar.md5. I tried to rename the files and odin rejected it. So when you unzip the Boot.Zip, you know whats inside of that folder. Also renamed the files in op to make it less confusing..

.

If This helps you please hit the thanks button..
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] iworkout:
Done. It worked exactly as you described. Only hiccup was when SuperSU first attempted to disable KNOX, I got a message in my notification panel, "Security notice: unauthorized actions have been detected - reboot to undo changes."

My phone came with Lookout security installed, so I don't know if that had anything to do with it. I went to task manager and stopped Lookout and SuperSU (which just seemed to be hanging) and ran SuperSU a couple more times. It said KNOX disabled on the 2nd run.

Rebooted & installed root checker, verified root, installed NH5 in Odin and then verified root again. Thanks!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] galaxyuser88:
Yeah i didnt have that issue, as soon as i got the phone i disabled that lookout crap. Also already had the security check also disabled, as when you install apks from outside the playstore, you are told to disable the security checks.

I will have to add that to the op when i get home and at my laptop.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] nguyener:
It works

It works as described. Only hiccup was disabling KNOX, SuperSU hung for a minute so I restarted and opened SuperSU again. It asked if I wanted to disable KNOX. I said yes and it disabled it successfully almost immediately..
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] AndreTheShadow:
Works!

​

This was my only hangup, as well. Beyond that, everything went smoothly, and I have root access with no Knox trip. :D
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] galaxyuser88:
Yeah that is something with superuser and not the method. Maybe when they upgrade the supersu apk, it may correct that. But good to see that this helped out to acheive root for ya.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] richierich118:
Thx worked like a charm. SuperSu did hang when i tried to disable knox. I just rebooted and used SuperSu again and it disabled with no problems. Now if someone could just point me to the volume boost hack I will be good. I cant find it for the life of me.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] Hypoxic1:
So by clicking "Disable Knox" will that prevent me from using ALL the apps like PayPal with FINGERPRINT login & Google Wallet to tap & pay? Isn't Knox also needed for private mode?

On the flip side, what if I click "NO" & keep Knox enabled? Can I still root? Will Knox counter be tripped?

Will this affect my ability to upgrade to Android L via normal stock method?

Does this affect anything like that negatively? I'm having trouble searching the internet for hours about these fine details. Thanks for this awesome bit of info!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] galaxyuser88:
Iam not sure what will not work if disable knox. I dont use anything that might need knox, so i can not help you there. I have had no negative affect from disabling knox.

You can always try it and see what happens. The worst thing you will have to do is odin back to stock and try again. This is how i found disabling knox did not affect my phone or the apks i use in anyway. Yes you can choose not to disable knox and you will still have root.

As far as upgrading, you can do it 2 ways.

1. Odin back to stock and take the upgrade. But be warned that if you take a stock update, you may lose the ability to root, if the update closes the holes.

2. You can wait for one of the great devs to take the update and clean it and post it in xda. This is the safer bet.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] Hypoxic1:
Thank you for the quick & informative response! I really do appreciate your time.

Hmm, I took the plunge & CAREFULLY read, re-read, re-read again to be sure of the instructions. It keeps giving me a fail now. When I click START in ODIN, it's like it doesn't wait for the phone to do it & gives me the fail. When looking at the phone, I can see the line/bar thing drawing from left to right & before it is finished "drawing" that line, ODIN gives me the fail. Great...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] Hypoxic1:
OK, got it to work by downloading the FULL 1.5GB files from another thread. But I still used YOUR instructions. Whew! What a task.

LOL, wow I messed up. Now I'm back on NH5 & it unrooted. OK, so now I've redone it again & back on a ROOTED NE6. I'm afraid to try the NH5 since it failed before & bricked my phone. Not sure how to proceed.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] galaxyuser88:
Ok why did you go back to ne6? If you all ready were on nh5, than my methods works perfectly, except for a hiccup in su. Seems like you did something wrong. I would load the full factory stock nh5 rom thru odin and try my method again. This only works on a full nh5 stock rom. If you were on some other firmware(older) then trying to upgrade to nh5 with my file will not work. It is only the kernel and not the whole rom. Hence the title.

If pc odins fails before you start, then it sound like the drivers are not loaded correctly, or one of the files you downloaded is corupt. Check to make sure the md5 matches and or redownload the files again, and try to use chrome to download. Afh seems to have issues with other explorers. Dont ask cause i do not have a clue as to why. Also if you continue to have issue, i would try a different usb port, different cable and or a different pc.

I know this method works. For i have done it about 20 times, i like to flash stuff on my phone to see what works.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] Hypoxic1:
I did start with a new phone with NH5, but your method didn't take as stated in my prior post. I was extremely careful to follow the directions properly, as well. I just got this S5 brand new from T-Mobile the other day & already had latest NH5 on it.

So to UNBRICK my phone, I had to use the method by ashraf sharif (http://xdaforums.com/tmobile-galaxy-s5/general/tutorial-towelroot-onlatest-firmware-t2908019). But I'm afraid to proceed to updating to NH5 using his method, hence why I'm on NE6 at the moment.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] galaxyuser88:
If you are afraid to use my method, then purchase mobile odin pro and use that to upgrade to nh5. Read the thread were you got the full ne6 and follow his directions. I honestly can not understand what the issue is that you are having. Cause like i said before, I have done a full odin back to nh5 and used my method with no issues. My phone also came with NH5 from tmo. Sorry.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] Hypoxic1:
No, no. Don't be sorry. You're awesome for posting all this & helping me out. I have no idea why it did not work also since I've made no mods up to this point. I carefully read everything & did days of research prior to jumping into this on this phone. This sure isn't as easy as a Nexus device! I basically have OCD when I do this sort of stuff, so I carefully read every word many, many times.

Thanks for the "go ahead" tip on the mobile odin pro. I will do that since you recommend it. I'm just unsure how he states the bootloader needs to be flashed separately. I'm a bit scared of PC odin at this point, lol.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] galaxyuser88:
That is why i figured out my method, too many steps with the other thread. I orignally did it his way many times on my phone and it does work, just alot of steps and it takes alot longer to flash and root and then flash again.. The problem with mobile odin pro is it doesnt flash all the files that a stock rom has in it, this is why you need to flash some files with pc odin and then the rest with mobile odin pro..
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] fozzy501:
You are the best. Thank you so much
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] fozzy501:
hey, sorry again.

For installing a ROM, do i need to install

custom recovery? Ive seen lots of videos or some post on xda that say you need a certain recovery
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] galaxyuser88:
Yes you do. Just remember that installing a custom rom or custom recovery will trip the knox, and add to your counter. You only have to worry about this if you have to return your phone to samsung for warranty issues.

TWRP is prolly the only recovery currently supported on the s5, There is CWM but from what i understand it is not being supported or updated anymore, but i could be wrong.

Do your research to see which one will be the best in the long run.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] fozzy501:
thank you.

For installing a Rom, I see some say NH5 or NK2, but some don't thing. WOuld I be able to install them if they dont say NH5 or NK2. I did the NK2 root
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] galaxyuser88:
As long as it is for T-mobile S5

, then you can. When flashing the custom roms, you have to do a full wipe anyway, so rom version does not matter.

Just make sure it is for your phone and not one from a different phone or carrier

, as you may brick your phone and only you are responsible for the damage. Make sure you read and read some more before flashing anything to your phone.

Does this method still work?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] galaxyuser88:
If it is still up, it still works. Once this method stops working i will close or delete the thread, Once TMO drops lollipop then it might stop working, but we will have to wait and see.That is one reason not to take any update from a carrier. Once the developers have a chance to see what it will do, then you can just flash one of the roms from the development section.

Rooting TMO S5 on Latest NK2 with Knox 0x1

I have a T-mobile Galaxy S5 with NK2, and was using Odin on the Mac, which was not working. However, I can get a PC on which to root my phone My knox counter is at 0x1......somehow I tripped it during one of my earlier attempts. I have made sure that I had USB debugging checked, that I have unknown sources checked and that I have verify programs via usb unchecked. Also my bootloader is NK2 as well.

Should I still be able to use the method in this thread to install the rooted ROM without any problems? Do I still have to flash with the NE6 since my bootloader is already at NK2?

Thanks for any of your help. I certainly appreciate it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] galaxyuser88:
yes you can still use my method to root.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] galaxyuser88:
:crying: Well I hate to do this, but i upgraded to the Note 4. I will still answer question about this method as best as i can.

So I guess this method is over? Tmobile just released lollipop, hopefully we can find a way to root and not trip Knox or if anyone knows, please share.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] dimm0k:
nooo! just a few more days and you could have verified if this method works for Lollipop or not... thanks for all your effort however!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] galaxyuser88:
Sorry, I couldnt pass up the deal i got on my Note 4. It is good knowing someone that owns a cell phone store. LOL . I am sure we will know what happens with Lollipop.

And if Figures, this just seems to happen when i get rid of a phone, I might just get rid of the note 4 and get an lg g3 and then maybe tmo might roll out the update for the note 4 LOL
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] jutaejrtouch:
Are you saying you can't downgrade the kernel to NE6, towel root and then flash the OB1 kernel? I have a Note 3&4...wish they'd hurry up and release Lollipop for them too lol!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] galaxyuser88:
I have no Idea, it might be possible. If someone wants to try and let us know. But usually a big jump in firmware usually means that will not work. I could be wrong. I would wait till a s5 dev makes the call on this.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] fozzy501:
Hello, I wanted to know how to unroot to install Android 5.0
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] galaxyuser88:
Just odin the factory stock rom. or you can go into superuser and choose the unroot process. But i would just odin the factory stock rom from the first post.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] Jjday7:
I hope this will work the same as it did with the other bootloaders. I have a work phone and have to keep Knox at 0x0. Dying to try lollipop though.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] FungalRaincloud:
So I made a terrible mistake, and unrooted before upgrading to Lollipop, instead of attempting to preserve root (i was frustrated because the update kept failing, lay off, man, we all make mistakes). Anyway, I thought I'd play around with things and see what I get. I initially attempted to use this method again, but with Lollipop on the device. So basically, flash the NE6 boot.tar.md5 over with the rest of Lollipop already on the device, then attempt to boot. I prepared a copy of Lollipop's boot.img file as a (OB1) boot.tar.md5 before starting, just in case. I now know that you can flash the NE6 boot.tar.md5, but that it does not boot initially - for me, at least, it got stuck at the samsung splash screen, and would go no further. I flashed the OB1 boot.tar.md5 that I prepared, and I found that I could now boot the phone. At the moment, my battery is a bit low, and I have a test that I'm supposed to be studying for, so I've gone no further. My next step, if someone wants to try this for themselves, is to try clearing the cache then attempting boot again. My logic here is that if I can get the phone to boot with NE6 boot.tar.md5 on it, I should be able to run towelroot (since it's a kernel level exploit), and then we can salvage this method for Lollipop, though it's pretty clear to me that there's some tweaking that needs to be done.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] Daguse:
DL the stock to update to Lollipop, but does anyone know of any way to root it?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] iTz KeeFy:
Not if you want to keep Knox at 0x0. If you don't care about losing your warranty potentially then you can root with cf auto root and install a custom recovery but again that will trip Knox http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2883766
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] FungalRaincloud:
To add to this, I *believe* if you are already rooted, you can keep root by flashing Lollipop using Odin and mobile Odin pro. I can't confirm this personally, but I've seen reports of it out there. If that's the case, then the long way of rooting is to downgrade completely to a vulnerable, but stock ROM, root with towelroot and get supersu working, then upgrade without losing root (again, to the best of my knowledge, this requires mobile Odin pro, as it has to insert root while you are doing the flash, from what I've read, but I was not trying that particular method because I jumped the gun thinking re-rooting would be every bit as trivial as the old way)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] ashraf sharif:
I tried that . It kind of works but not really.first to downgrade to ne6 kitkat from lollipop you will probably have to factory reset and lose all your data. the Phone wont boot in android 442 after a down grade unless you reset. after that towelroot works fine . then if you flash with mobile odin the phone will not boot because mobile odin does not flash bootloaders . It gets stuck on recovery booting. If you set mobile odin to boot into download mode and then pc odin the firmware only file the phone will boot. cpuid will confirm root access . but root checker will hang. and busybox will not install. basically the root does not work. root apps will ask and supersu will grant but the apps dont actually recieve the permissions
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] TheArtiszan:
Yeah that is exactly what was happening for me as well.

I don't think mobile Odin is injecting it correctly.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] galaxyuser88:
You all have to remember that mobile odin has not been updated to work with Lollipop yet. That was the issues we all had with mobile odin not completly flashing all the necessary files on 4.4.2. So i would not recommend using it to update to lollipop or to inject root.

Just wait until a dev figures a way to do this or when they update Mobile odin to flash and inject root properly. ;
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] muniz_ri:
What if you flash a stock, pre-rooted 5.0 rom, set MobileOdin to reboot into download mode then flash the stock 5.0 partitions, i.e

BL, modem, etc? Someone recently theorized this process would not trip the warrant flag.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] ashraf sharif:
im trying this right now will let u know if successful

did not work I tried to install the bob7 aroma from here http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s5/general/how-to-root-triggering-knox-2nd-method-t2843044 I had mobile odin go to download mode and used pc odin to flash the bootloader and modem . tripped knox oh well I tried
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] muniz_ri:
That is too bad. But I have another idea that may allow others to update to rooted 5.0 without tripping the knox warranty flag. I realize it's too late for you but I could use some help testing to see if it will even flash. Let me know if you are interested.
