So from coming from OK4 flashing to CQC1 , shouldn't have any issues?
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] andrew2432:
As long as you're not trying to go to kk you're good I believe. You can go from any lp to mm and back as far as I know. Kk downgrade is blocked by something in our s5s
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Astrocreep1369:
Can anyone give a shortcut around the aroma freeze? I can't get it to take on CQC1 or OK4 I have gone to and from stocks and can't get it take... I feel as though I'm missing a step somehow... I have followed every step to a tee and as soon as I go to flash MOAR it stops install at aroma. Idk if this is common or not and I have read through the threads and DL'd the ROM twice now. Any suggestions?
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] tdunham:
Use an older version of twrp.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Astrocreep1369:
I'm stuck at the same issue and have tried your fix twice now to no avail... Hopefully third time is the ticket...
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Youdoofus:
whats it do after you reboot? you might want to flash just the OK4 and reboot allowing it to fully boot first, then do the TWRP stuff. These things can get finicky
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Astrocreep1369:
Giving it the ole college try and no luck... When the WiFi option screen during initial startup and I press next it just brings the WiFi option screen back up. During boot it looks like everything is a go until that point... I'm using KToonsez recovery and Odin 3.07 with the OK4 flashed beforehand as the starting point... I feel like the TWRP is the issue as when I go to format in there it gives me a error sdcard 255 or something to that effect during format. Other than that everything else seems to be working until I get to WiFi option in startup. Bout to smash this damn thing lol my patience is wearing thin with it...
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Youdoofus:
as far as i recall, the 255 error is from an incompatible version

i did find this tho "settings> builg number(7times)> go back> developer options> root access> check "apps and adb" "

---------- Post added at 01:21 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:01 PM ----------

sometimes your build.prop can get changed by this setting in dev options too. might be the fly in the ointment
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Astrocreep1369:
If I could make it that far into MOAR I could change that but no go bro lol what TWRP version do you suggest then?
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] andee39:
It's been awhile so I don't remember exactly which version of twrp worked for me. Look back around post 6222. There is mention of different versions that worked for folks.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Youdoofus:
im on 3.1.0
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Astrocreep1369:
After trying Philz and 3.1.0 and 2.something all linked in the OP and multiple times of flashing ok4 to start over idk what I'm missing it still won't let me pass the WiFi setup on initial startup... Ugh I want this ROM SO BAD on this new S5... If I use a newer twrp aroma won't start if I roll back aroma starts but won't pass WiFi setup ARGH lol
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Astrocreep1369:
So no ideas? Am I dead in the water here guys? I'm fairly desperate at this point because the stock firmware from sprint won't allow me use the sim unlock I got from them and believe me I have scoured the net and I refuse to pay for something that should be free because the phone is paid for in full so I want to figure this out and make a one-post solution under one roof to help everyone else who's had this issue with the 900P as well. The info shouldn't be kept for ransom it should be shared with our XDA brethren lol
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] mordantly:
Did you delete Android folder on your extSdCard?
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Youdoofus:
sorry for the delay, but ive ran into this too. All you need to do is factory reset in TWRP, delete the android folders on internal and external, flash the stock OK4 tar.md5, boot once, go back to dl mode, flash twrp 3.0.0, boot again, boot into TWRP, factory reset, flash MOAR and boot again. done

---------- Post added at 08:05 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:03 AM ----------

oh, and the info isnt being held for ransom, its just that this phone has had waning interest as of late and the people who used to answer very quickly are doing other things to occupy their minds these days. Hell, ive been playing in car audio forums for fun LOL
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Astrocreep1369:
When I talk about the info I mean the unlock method for Sprint variants but yes, I know. TBH I'm not too thrilled with 99% of the new hardware so I've stuck with my S5 (900t) and I got a fresh, new gold S5 (900p) so why get a new one lol I mean if I could ever get pixel to be in stock would be the only replacement I'm interested in so far... I would love to use it on T-Mo (yes, I've heard it won't but I've also heard that the sim variant is compatible so idk yet honestly) and I have the unlock code from Sprint but no way to put it in so BLECCHH lol it'll be my car audio player at least lol
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Youdoofus:
oh shoot, my bad. I misread your question, or maybe was reading another post and hit reply on yours, or maybe im just an idiot, or too drunk, or not drunk enough (just kidding, im at work and was probably distracted)

anyways, there are a couple members on here that are doing the unlocks for free or donations. I have unlocked 2 G900P's with idoneapps.com and it cost $35 for the first and $20 for the second (i asked for a repeat customer discount and have referred countless people to that site as i know it simply works). I tried digging into it for quite some time and was beyond my patience/comprehension level (also beyond a friends who is a Unix admin and writes code for a living, also compiles ROMs and stuff for fun). Honestly, youre probably best off just biting the bullet and paying a known and reputable unlock service and just be done with it. I had the same thoughts as you when my phone came out from under contract. I had the unlock code (useless) and was pi$$ed that sprint just didnt sim unlock it when it was eligible for it. Anyways, GSMForums has a pretty lengthy writeup on it too and over there its stated that you need a piece of hardware to do it, which doesnt make sense if the app NoDial wrote does it all by itself. That being said, i know that it requires root and communicates with a server and forces a reboot twice while unlocking. [MENTION=4428363]stifilz[/MENTION] was doing unlocks a while back, but youll have to talk to him about it. Hes in another country and has a life as well, so youll have to work around his schedule, but has been known to do them for free. Im sure that if a mod sees this very post im writing now that theres a chance itll get deleted or even worse, some action taken against me for suggesting a paid site as thats against the TOS it seems, but thats pretty much where youre at. Either Stifilz or there was another user doing them for free too, but i cant remember his alias, but it was something weird (but arent all of ours? :) )

not much help, i know. But the GSM unlocks are a big business nowadays and people making BANK off their code discovery arent easily going to give that secret up. Understandably (kind of)

There was also a guy in one of these posts who apparently knows one of the founders of idoneapps.com and was FERVENTLY protecting his right to sell the unlocks and HOW DARE ANYBODY ask for the service at no cost... The phone is a tad over 3 years old now and has a very high liklihood of being used on an MVNO as second hand or a super good new oldstock purchase, so sellers of unlocks know that they have you by the ball$
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Astrocreep1369:
Well said my friend. I figured it would be that answer as one who has repeatedly seen the app and I even dl'd it to check it out. Seems legit and that's probably the route I'm going to take. I didn't really think about it on that scale... And FYI I really appreciate your help with the ROM I'm going to try that fix when I get home.

^^^^ this ^^^^

wow, i knew that he was being ostracized by the xda mods for the shenanigans he was pulling for a while there with the donations, but i was completely unaware that he was back at it with the intent to make amends. If he's still doing this, its your best bet to get it unlocked for no to minimal cost. Great find btw!
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Astrocreep1369:
Everything works good up to that point, no issues that I have noticed other than it seems like the android folders are sticky as in they don't seem to stay deleted... That's the only noticeable thing I can discern. I can't for the life of me figure out what I'm doing wrong lol and this ROM definitely seems to be the end-all ROM for this device as it sounds so superb but I will try it a few more times and try to factory in triplicate maybe that'll help lol idk I'm just going to Jack with it at this point lol

EDIT: Yes boots fine after stock flash
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Youdoofus:
the android folders will reappear upon first boot as theyre necessary for the OS to operate properly. The first time you pop a micro sd card in the phone and the phone does its storage recognition, itll automatically create an android folder. This is why youll always see those folders in your storage after it boots. Are you selecting the stock kernel in the Aroma installer for MOAR?
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Astrocreep1369:
I am. The OA6 kernel install option, correct?
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Youdoofus:
thats the one i usually use, but try the other one and see what happens. I havent been on this ROM in about 10 mos, but am SERIOUSLY considering going back to it. Its that good. Ive also had an instance where the download of the ROM was bad and had to get another instance of it. Let me see if i have the one that i know worked for me on my google drive

---------- Post added at 10:05 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:59 AM ----------

i dont have it on my drive, but trying to upload it now. What is the file size of your ROM .zip? mine is 1.26 GB. Also, im at work and id have to upp it via wifi and the IT guy has locked down a ton of ports on the wifi, so i might not be able to get it upped till later, like 5 or 6 pm cst

edit: its upping now, but slowly. Might be an hour before its there
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Astrocreep1369:
1.34 GB and I've downloaded it twice so maybe that's it lol that'd be about right and again, I sincerely appreciate the help.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Youdoofus:
oh, no worries man. Thsi community should be all about helping out. I saw that stifilz liked the post i mentioned him in, did you message him for the unlock? And the upp is about done for the ROM, ill link it here in a min. I think its the DL of the zip you have that might be causing all of your issues

here, try this

[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Astrocreep1369:
I did message him and I am more than elated at the moment lol and I'm dl'ing it now good sir
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Youdoofus:
cool, i have 2 MOAR zips on my sd card, and i hope thats the right one. One of em didnt work for me either, the aroma installer kept getting stuck on the splash screen of aroma itself. lemme know if you run into that too, and ill upp the other one

Questions: Which ROM to use? Currently on 6.0.1 Stock Deodexed MM

Dear all,

Apologies for the lack of sophistication that this post shows, but I've gotten some valuable and useful insights from reading and trying to follow these threads. I posted this message on the thread for the deodexed Stock Marshmallow but after several days there is no response. This probably is an answer ... looks like no one, or very few, using it.

Here's my story: I have been using a Sprint GalaxyS5 for some years, upgrading frequently as new ROMS became available. 6.0.1 MM is my most recent upgrade, from several months ago. Details below, also in my signature:

Samsung Galaxy S5 (Sprint)

Android Version 6.0.1

Android Build number MMB29M G900PVPS3CPK1_Deodexed

Kernel 3.4.0-9510242 dpi@SWHD2411 #1

Recovery: TWRP 3.0.2-0 (there's a reason NOT to use 3.0.2-1)​

Question 1: Is there a "better" ROM I should be using? This one has pretty much enough features for me ... if I could get better speed and or stability that would be good. I'm happy to try things as long as I can go back. Or is it time to upgrade to a new phone, maybe a Galaxy Note?

Question 2: From time to time I factory reset and wipe all, then reinstall all my apps. This seems to get rid of unwanted additional files that appear I know not from where. BUT when I do this with the latest build I lose root! That shouldnt be a big deal (reinstalling root) but I don't have a PC, only a MAC, and so installing Odin is not as easy as it sounds. I seem to remember an easy way to root using only my MAC, or something I downloaded to my phone, but I don't remember what it was ir where I found it.

Advice? Suggestions? Comments? Open to everything

Thanks in advance!
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Ramer:
Q1: For the S5 I don't think you'll find a better ROM than MOAR. Just be aware that the development of moar has pretty much stopped as most have moved on to newer phones.

Q2: Rather than doing a factory reset, the next time you do, install what you deem necessary and then do a nanoid backup. You'll then be able to restore your phone to the moment of your backup. Less of a headache.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] AlvinT:
Thanks so much to Ramer ... that's about all the encouragement I needed to replace my phone,

But I do like customized ROMs and root and all that. What do folks suggest? I am leaning toward the Note 5 but I'm sure there are arguments for other phones here :)
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] tdunham:
The Note 5 cost is very reasonable on swappa. I wouldn't ever buy new personally. And it is probably the last domestic Samsung model with an unlocked bootloader.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] genisioj:
How do you switch modems? I am on OA6 but Ithought I had to be on that for MOAR 7.1
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] AlvinT:
Moving to the Note 5

I know of no one on these boards with more credibility than tdunham! So I have now discovered swappa, registered an account, and purchased a used, "good" Note 5. Looking forward to its receipt and moving to the Note 5 section of XDA

Thanks again to all!!!!
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] mordantly:
See this post for directions. Do NOT take the full OK4! It has a locked bootloader and you can't ever run Kitkat again. Just flash modem for the better service.

https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=64397531&postcount=5507

Modem. Tdunham's work

[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] genisioj:
Do I need to wipe everything before flashing a modem just like when installing a ROM or anything else? Sorry if that is a dumb question I really don't want to reset if I don't have to.

Thanks
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] mordantly:
No. It is only the modem.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] AlvinT:
OK, so I bought a Note 5 from Swappa. Not so easy. Here is my current posting:

New Note 5, can't activate (says Insert Provider UICC...

Help!

Dear smart people, I decided to upgrade to a Note 5 and made a purchase through Swappa (as was suggested in these Boards). The device arrived yesterday, Swappa guarantees a clean ESN, but surprisingly (to me) the home screen had the message "No Sim" and the message "Power off your device, insert ..."

Sprint service on the phone was no help. They coudnt find the ESN I gave them.

I went to the Sprint service center today and they told me the Sims were unavailable in any stores but that they would send me one. It will take a few days

Now the Swappa people tell me there is nothing they will do, that I should have known the phone required a Sim (but no comment about how the phone was shipped with no indication that I needed to do anything beyond contacting Sprint and providing the ESN and MEID numbers)

Kinda looks like I am stuck and have to wait before I can use the phone I bought and paid for

Any suggestions? Ideas? Recourse I may have?

I may try to post the communication I had with Swappa. For now I'll just simmer

Thanks!!!!​

Sigh
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] allrockedout:
Alvin I have an extra data sim for Sprint note 5. I just sold my note 5 to a T-Mobile user and he didn't need it. What state are you in. If your close by you can come pick it up. I'm in CA. You could probably use that phone on metro PCS or t mobile. You might only get 3G. Just ditch Sprint that's what I ended up doing.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] AlvinT:
How very kind of you! I'm in NYC :)

I have been with Sprint forever and have a family plan that my son set up (three accounts). I'll probably wind up staying with Sprint.

I'll contact the folks at Sprint tomorrow to see if I can get it quicker. But I do appreciate your kindness
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] FNetV1:
I just installed MOAR 7.1 and i see that everything is working perfectly. The only problem is that I cannot see roaming controls under mobile, before under stock there where additional settings to enable domestic and international roaming, now all that is missing. I have a world phone under a special sprint plan where i have unlimited voice minutes for international roaming and some GB's for data included on my plan, I need to make sure that I can roam when i travel next time.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] FNetV1:
Regarding the Missing Roaming Settings, here is a screenshot on what I am getting with this rom:

Being able to roam both domestically and internationally is very important to me.

How do you make lock screen pinpad transparent? Is there a transparent color code in moar mod control lockscreen pin pad settings?

I ended up flashing rom again to fix it lol i was in the menu and couldnt figure it out
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] AlvinT:
Thanks for the comment, Andrew. But I should have updated my post on this thread. Here's what happened:

After a few false starts I learned, from a Sprint tech at another store, that indeed the phone I bought from Swappa could not be used as a replacement phone for my account on the Sprint network. In order to use the phone I would have had to find another service provider, which was not and is not my intention. There was a problem with multiple contradictory responses, but once I found the "good" local Sprint store with competent techs (the Flatiron store here in NYC for any locals) all went well

I returned the phone via Swappa ... the seller was as unhappy as I was but she responded totally appropriately ... and bought a NEW phone from Sprint. And I will add that i.m really happy with it!

[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] andrew2432:
I might have a MM MOAR ROM on my comp at home, I'll check for you! It might be an older build than what youre expecting though.

External SD backup?? Twrp restore? With it being her phone I bet she doesn't backup regularly :(
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] tr1zrus:
yea she doesn't backup.... do you think it could be 6.2.. n do you know of a link that might have it
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] andrew2432:
No idea, I usually save the md5 if that helps. And i can bet (without any doubt even) that's its pre November security patch of last her, no comment on why...lol but I think moar was under 6.2 then, I'll have to check
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] tr1zrus:
yea 6.2 is what I need to put on her phone.. that would be great.. I've searched every where online for 6.2 i can't find it
