Thanks for your replay rrgrrg, but I didn't understand a thing.

Is the link you posted (yadi.sk/d/LKwGyLXaehcvU) the stock ROM (knox + bloatware) or light Russian, or the stock Russian?

What is this: (cloud.mail.ru/public/a537a10a71e7/G900FDXXU1BOB1_G900FDOXE1BOB1_G900FDXXU1BOB1_HOME.tar.zip) ?

I would like to get the stock Russian ROM and although I read the treat many times I am now puzzled which is the correct link to the the last stock Russian ROM.

On sammobile.com, only the old ver. of the firmware is available:

sammobile.com/firmwares/download/41030/G900FDXXU1BNL9_G900FDOXE1BNL9_SER

Sorry for giving you all those questions, but please help :)
[Galaxy S 5 General] dobuy:
OK, so now running G900FDXXU1BOB1 on my UAE G900FD, anybody successfully rooted G900FDXXU1BOB1 yet?
[Galaxy S 5 General] armsel:
Thanks for sharing Dobuy!

Please say - is everything working fine?

What region do you have now in "About Device" (above "Security Software Version")
[Galaxy S 5 General] dobuy:
Yes all seems fine so far, no issues, but miss my root, as want to get rid of Sammy crapware

There is no region info in "About Device"that I can see, above "Security Software Version" is SE for Android status, starting with "SEPF_SM-G900FD_5.0_0002"

[Galaxy S 5 General] armsel:
Thanks rrgrrg!

In that case (stock ROM - not country specific), how it will receive OTA updates? First? :)
[Galaxy S 5 General] exothermix:
I installed G900FDXXU1BNL9 when it first came out on my UAE S5 Duos and today i got a notification to update to G900FDXXU1BOB1 so i guess if u install it ur gonna get all the updates russia gets OTA.
[Galaxy S 5 General] rrgrrg:
there is no country specific rom :) ... all sammy firmwares has a csc and a region ... the best region for signal and modem is as following

but the best for first OTA is russia to be exact .... always gets the newer firmwares first :cowboy:

[Galaxy S 5 General] rrgrrg:
yes mate :o

EDIT :

currently i was able to make a deodexed, no-knox, power menu modded lollipop firmware based on latest BOB1 firmware and will test it soon if it works good i shall fix auto brightness and also add volume boost :)
[Galaxy S 5 General] chubutnet:
Hi all thanks for this thread!

I have a doubt I've installed the latest russian lollipop firmware and maybe is Just me, but I only have 1.66 gb of ram instead of 1.8 Is this correct?

This is the capture before lollipop
[Galaxy S 5 General] armsel:
It is like that with me as well.
[Galaxy S 5 General] rrgrrg:
But is there an actual difference in the rom ?? U feel the lack of ram ??
[Galaxy S 5 General] chubutnet:
To be honest I haven't feel any difference. But went back to kit kat 'cose I thought That something was bad with my phone.

Besides I Wanted to know if I was the only one with this issue
[Galaxy S 5 General] rrgrrg:
okay but what about the battery ?? :) ... also how u went back u flashed modem and bootloader or whole tar file of kitkat ??
[Galaxy S 5 General] chubutnet:
I've flashed all the tar file, but now I went back to lollipop again. By now everything works fine, no lag, no FC anything.

Battery don't know yet 'cose this is first cicle. I'll tell you within 3 more cilces how it works.
[Galaxy S 5 General] MohamedYousri:
so far downgrade to kitkat is easy without any problem

just flash the latest UAE firmware and you are done

While I am using data network from Sim 2 I can't make call from Sim 1 . Is this a common problem ?
[Galaxy S 5 General] dobuy:
Nope that does not work for me, you are on the G900FD, as the root above is for the non-Duos version
[Galaxy S 5 General] dobuy:
Well G900FDXXU1BOB1 has just failed for me, after doing all the software updates on Playstore, after re-start it has a never ending load of Unfortunately xxxxxx aplication has stopped pop-ups during boot up, never reaching the UI.

Shame as while it worked battery life was brilliant.

No idea why, downgrading to 4.4.2
[Galaxy S 5 General] armsel:
Hello sdarshan10, I am now with xxxxxxBOB1 (SER) ROM and I just tried to replicate your problem, but using mobile data on SIM1 and placed incoming call to SIM2.

I tried it twice (while browsing) and and works as expected - the phone accepts the incoming call on SIM2 and kills the data on SIM1.

Thanks everyone for the great treat!

I finally updated my UAE S5 duos to Lollipop (latest ROM- BOB1) and quite happy with it!

One question I would like to ask - is there a way to open an application from the lock-screen by clicking on the notification?

I read that In the original Lolipop it is possible by swiping the notification banner down, or double clicking on it.

Unfortunately non of those methods work on my phone. If i click on the notification it will get me to the application, but only after swiping the screen to unlock.

I noticed that if I hold the notification long enough it becomes dark in color and gives me two options - application settings and application info, but in order to access those options again I need to swipe to unlock.

Get the Lollipop with root and Knox 0x0

Hi people.

I have the 4.4.2 XXU1ANJ1 CSC: CAC. I got root by towelroot method (downgrading kernel, rooting, updating kernel) and it goes very well.

Now I was thinking about using Mobile Odin Pro to flash the Lollipop, keeping the root and Knox 0x0.

Do you guys think it will work?

I don't want to trigger the Knox counter because I intend to sell the phone in the future and I want to keep Knox clean.
[Galaxy S 5 General] amchandr:
Thanks! I was able to root my BOB1 rom. Also let me know which custom recovery works. I have rooted, but I have not installed the custom recovery yet.

Also facing another issue on BOB1 rom: My Wifi does not reconnect automatically. I have set the "Keep Wi-Fi on during sleep" as "Never". When I turn on the screen, the Wifi does not connect automatically, however the connection remains Saved & Secured, which means password is not lost. I have to either go to Wi-Ifi settings & then just need to click the my wi-fi connection or I need to turn off & on the wifi quick setting or turn on & off the airplane mode. Please let me know if there is a build.prop tweak or configuration tweak to resolve this issue.

After rooting, usually I move away the unwanted apps from /system/app & /system/priv-app folder. I moved away the same apps which I used to do while I was on Kitkat. But this time wifi automatic reconnection is not happening.

I will flash it today!
[Galaxy S 5 General] rrgrrg:
flashed best2all rom today ... all i can say im not going back to kitkat :) ... the system is so smooth its transitions feels ios'ish :D

performance is beyond perfect ... battery for now its the same as kitkat ... because it droped from 67% to 28% while playing gta san andreas for 2 hours nearly :D :D

all the drawbacks are in the following

-silent mode is removed and now you have sort of it it another toggle

-the white UI is awesome but samsung completly forgotten to apply changes to dark too so any dark app you use you will

see a sort of unlikable colors (like in titanium backup)

- xposed is not there yet :p

but all is very very good ... and i recommend at least try it if udont like it flash old modem+bootloader and resore your nandroid :laugh:

Which G900FD Android release is better for installing a custom recovery? My device is fully stock and I would like to install the rom you sent here but first I need to install CWM or TWRP, right?

---------- Post added at 02:50 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:21 PM ----------

Eu percebi que as variantes do Português ficam disponíveis a depender do CSC. Quando mudamos o CSC para SER, o Português Brasileiro não aparece. Se você mudar o CSC para CAC ou CAU, ambas as variantes do Português ficarão disponíveis.

I noticed that the variants of Portuguese are available depending on the CSC. When you change the CSC to SER (Russia), the Brazilian Portuguese is not available. If you change the CSC to CAC or CAU, both variants of Portuguese will be available.

Hi Oliveira,

I particulary installed the "best2all" custom rom (odexed) and for know i only miss the swap left /right to make a call or send message when we are at contacts.

Yes you need to install a custom recovery (in this thread a few pages back), then directly from recovery just install the rom trought the Aroma Installer as explained before.

Hope it help you!

Oi Oliveira,

Eu instalei a custom recovery "best2all" (odexed) e para já estou a gostar, estando pelo momento a sentir a falta da "função" chamada ou mensagem a partir do menu contactos (quando passas o dedo para a esquerda ou direira respectivamente) estás a ver a cena né?.

De fato precisarás de instalar uma custom recovery para instalar esta custom rom seguindo as instruções atrás descritas na apresentação desta rom...umas páginas atrás.

Um abraço e se precisares de ajuda é só dizer.
[Galaxy S 5 General] coelhooliveirar:
Thanks for replying, Lamecus.

By the way, is there a way to install the custom recovery without tripping Knox?

Grato pela resposta, Lamecus.

A propósito, há uma maneira de instalar um custom recovery sem marcar a flag do knox?
[Galaxy S 5 General] lamecus:
Não precisa de agradecer,

Pois é, aí não tem jeito:( quando instalar a custom recovery vai activar a flag do knox 0x1!

Eu não tive problemas com isso, mas essa decisão será sempre sua. Depois da custom recovery virá o root...e aí você será o "dono" do seu S5 Duos:laugh:

--------------------------------------------

No problem, just here to help (in my humble possibility),

Well Oliveira, after you flash the custom recovery the knox flag will be tripped for sure:(

I didn't have any problems with that, and followed by the rooting thing you will be the real owner of your S5 Duos:laugh:

Flashed "best2all" custom rom, did not boot on first install, but took battery out and re-booted, all good now. Great ROM, like the Aroma choices, seems fast and stable.

Anyone know what the strange N icon is on the taskbar?

Hi there,

The installation process is very intuitive with Aroma Installer (from custom recovery Philz)!

After almost one week with regular usage of this beauty rom "best2all", the battery life seams very good (almost 48h), the global behavior is excellent and everything is very smooth with no freezes.

For me, the only thing I miss is the connection with my VPN at office...(using IPSecXauth PSK)!!!

If someone could help me with this issue I aprecciate, otherwise I will have to return to the "official" ...BOB1

[Galaxy S 5 General] khalidkls:
did you do the same as mentioned in Read me text file and also i have Knox 0x1.

Ist step for installing custom recovery through Odin rather than flashing root files such as CF auto Root through Odin

it is hardly to understand what you are writing/ what do you mean.
[Galaxy S 5 General] khalidkls:
sorry for Bad English i said a standard method of root is first must be flashed root files such as CF auto root through ODIN then will be able to install custom recovery then install Super Su through Custom recovery but on that post which was you posted in 1st step have to flash custom recovery then install Super SU (Skipped Standard method 1st Step)

Newbie coming from UAE

Sorry for all techie guys over here... :D

I now have UAE version 4.4.2 (G900FDXXU1ANJ2)

But I'd like to upgrade to Lollipop.

I read something about the best available rom, that is BOB1? Does anybody have a detailed link for me?

Are there people over here who are having problems with this ROM?

I'm thinking of Connection 4G LTE/800 Mhz on one SIM and 3G on the second one... does this work OK?

Operation of dual sim mode: is that without any problems?

Sound off, what is the problem of 5.0? I cannot fully switch off sound?

Knox... I do not use it, is it important to keep the blak status as I have now? And does this ROM alter the Knox status?

And most important: does anybody have a link to a newbie description to put this ROM on my phone? For dummies, please...

Will my data be altered when I install this BOB1 rom?

Last question: How to return to 4.4.2 if I want to do so?

Sorry to trouble you with these newbie questions, but I appreciate your help.

Thanks a lot! :good:

My friend welcome, if you read the complete post you will find what you need just look for it

The link to the russian lollipop firmware version is in here: the http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=58890136&postcount=277 (IS NO A ROM, is a firmware)

You should flash it through odin, and y if you upgrade to lollipop your data will NOT be erased.

If you want to get back to kitkat again use odin, but previously you will have to backup data 'cos downgrade will erase everything. And you will have to donwload the kitkat firmware.

Here in XDA there are many people explaining these things so try to research because all your question are allready answered

Operation of dual sim mode: is that without any problems?

Sound off, what is the problem of 5.0? I cannot fully switch off sound?

Knox... I do not use it, is it important to keep the blak status as I have now? And does this ROM alter the Knox status?

So I know it is more typing then saying that it is on the forum. I've read the forum, I really have, but am uncertain about the information, because it is scattered too much (for me).
