Differences in version

Dear All,

Can anyone tell us the difference between BOA7 and BOAD? Are there bloatware automatically installed? I heard the BOAD had bloatwares in it. I am planning to upgrade non rooted knox 0x0 but want to make sure which ROM to use. Thanks in advance!
[Galaxy S 5 General] smartjain:
there are few banking apps and yandex app that gets auto installed with this firmware. (Kazakhstan centered apps)
[Galaxy S 5 General] ezearis:
I updated from BOA7 to BOAD and both came without any bloatware.

[Galaxy S 5 General] pelpa87:
Flashing via odin, usually won't factory reset your phone. Please note the usually I've wrote.

On the other hand always is advisable to do a factory reset when the base change.above all if the version change so much.

Have you tried clearing your cache? I had same issue and did a cache cleaning. Helped a lot but what did the best trick was full data wipe. ;)

Rooting Lollipop G900H

Hey, I found the easiest way to root is first flash through Odin Phillz CWM Advanced Edition. Then reboot the phone to Recovery Mode and select the option 'PhilZ Settings' then scroll down to Re-root System (SuperSU).

After reboot, go to Play Store and install SuperSu app. Open it and it will ask how to update/upgrade binary. Select the option TWRP/CWM. That should do the trick after it automatically reboots.

The other option is downloading "UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.45.zip" and flashing it AFTER installing the PhilZ CWM.

NB: Remember to put the zip file in internal storage. I found the PhilZ CWM doesn't work with external SDs.
[Galaxy S 5 General] Speach:
Thank You!

Works perfectly, the first method (Without flashing UPDATE Via CWM)

[Galaxy S 5 General] Tim34:
You can install it on any unlocked G900H. This is official Samsung software. Meaning it will work with any unlocked G900H. U can root it as u did the kit kat before everything works the same except u cannot use exposed module on lollipop as it uses art run time. There is someone working on bringing exposed to lollipop in the future.

Make sure you do a full wipe and you should have no issues. I am from South Africa and it works fine. Not only will it work fine for me but any other person who has a G900H unlocked phone. Simple people. No need to keep asking same questions all the time.

Put phone in download mode and use latest odin then install once done go back and do a full wipe and reinstall your apps. Don't flash over 4.4.2 ull get fc.
[Galaxy S 5 General] smartjain:
how do you root this? the latest chainfire root for g900h will not work with this correct?

Downloading XXU1BOAD, to flash over XXU1BOA7. All has been great with XXU1BOA7 so far.:D
[Galaxy S 5 General] Tman37:
Please note if your phone is official software you are able to downgrade and upgrade as much as you want. All you need to do is get the official samsung S5 G900H software from sammobile and install it to downgrage or upgrade.

Unfortunatly you will have to then wait for the language of your choice rom if you wish to have that on lollipop, or live with english :) as for the camera FC are you using the BOAD firmware and did you do a clean install of it? Remember that 5.0 uses ART run time and a new bootloader so its always best to do a clean instal of any new rom!

Try this and see if your problems are solved!!!

---------- Post added at 07:20 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:08 AM ----------

For the sake of everyone and time! PLEASE READ THE FORUMS AND THEN INSTAL YOUR ROMS. The XDA thread has all the answers to your questions. The main point is you need to READ!

Here is a few simple guidelines!!!

Download the BOAD firmware from sammobile.

Have odin installed.

Place phone in download mode (If you do not know what this is you should not be flashing at all).

Install the new Lollipop firmware and once installed make sure you do a factory restet. Lollipop is a new software and it is not recommeded to not do a full wipe. It uses a new baseband and new RUN TIME.

If you want to avoid force closes and the likes always do a clean instal and restore your apps via google play etc.

Many need to update to the new run time.

This should help you to have a smoother experience. If you wanting it in your home languager emember this is not out yet for every region!!

To root your phone and remov bloatware try CF auto root (search XDA) and use root uninstall or something similar. Have and enjoy a bloat free phone. Then sit back and enjoy and wait till someone makes a nice custom lollipop rom for your device :)

No sarcasim intended.....but honestly people need to learn to read the internet and do some research before flashing a rom!!!

When I open the memory card I see them there, but the Gallery don't show them and the music player don't show the music from the memory card... :confused:

Guys, you can use the same Phillz recovery you used in Kitkat with no issues. Just remember to use SuperSU 2.45 though coz earlier versions would prove troublesome.

Now, for the sake of iinformation, I've been using this Lollipop build from day 1. First thing first, UI performance is far below expected. Moto G feels more fluid. Their are lot of stutters, delays and hiccups here and there. Messenger, Hangouts and apps as such are pathetically slow. Dialler app is just as the Kitkat Build: SLOW AND TAKES AGES TO OPEN. I don't really understand why it takes forever to open an app as simple as a Dialler.And yes, Recent Apps lag is still present. Huh. Even in BOD build.

[MENTION=4771935]Samkitpalecha[/MENTION],

Thanks for your reply. I have done several clean installs, reinitialized to stock INU firmware (ANG3). Didn't want to void knox warranty hence not rooted. Otherwise, that would have been the first thing I would do. It's my wife's phone, so want to keep it stock.

I personally use a completely modded galaxy s4 as daily driver.

So definitely something related to either the touchwiz not correctly working with the h/w.

This happens in scenarios mostly

- when a message/notification arrives (whatsapp, hangout, messenger, etc.)

- when a call arrives (not always but at times)

- waking up in general (not always though but very frequent)
