You were right bigwillg. Didn't really get a chance to test it 1st. After noticing choppy stuff & a bigger than usual battery drain, I "Odin'ed" the newer kernal. Now its like butter. Still on stock ROM with frozen bloat stuff. Considering uninstalling em all together at a future date. Gonna get to know my phone 1st I guess.

In case I didn't already hit thanks on OP, I soon will. And on a side note THANK you for this topic/forum.

Unable to install latest OTA

My G870A was rooted before the previous OTA was sent.

This latest OTA gets to about 27%, then fails.

I have looked around to see how to fix this, yet I can't seem to find anything.

The steps here start with the OTA, so they're currently useless to me.

I have tried going back to 4, but towelroot has no way to remove root once set.

SuperSU mentions a removal of root, but it appears to be just to uninstall itself.

Anyone have any ideas?

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] OklahomaGreyBeard:
Using ODIN method it installed like a charm. I've had it on now for two hours and have three issues.

1. wifi forgot all passwords and after connecting, seems to randomly reconnect although for the last 45 minutes it has stayed connected.

2. All installs from the play store on the phone stop downloading and won't install but if I tell it to install to the phone from my laptop it works fine. Perhaps related to issue number 1?

3. Battery... Battery usage on this phone has always been an issue and was worse after the 4.4.4 update but now I can literally watch the percentage drop as I'm using the phone. From 82% to 75% in less than 10 minutes.

I'm curious since my startup screen now has the unlocked icon on it now, what else was changed in the oa1 "stock" kernel that I flashed to my phone?

Glad to have root finally but the battery and wifi issues are no bueno..

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] OklahomaGreyBeard:
A few updates,

The play store issue seems to have resolved itself. Knowing Google's track record with play, I'm going to assume it was a problem on their side.

Wifi seems to have stabilized as well. I know there were no issues with my network so perhaps it was the phone itself updating. I was being a bit impatient so who knows.

Used it for a 15 minute phone call on speaker and it only used 1% of the battery but I'll reserve that one until I go to work in a few and see how it does today.

Tasker and I are still happy to have root.. :o

-GB

-- update, 9 hours later of above normal usage and I just dropped to 49% I'm going to have to say all is well. Love being able to use my NFC tags with the phone screen off.

Still curious to know what was changed in the file I installed on my phone though.

Noob question

Hello, I don't know if this thread is still active. I'm trying to understand how all this root and flashing works.

I am wondering why do you need to keep going after step 2. Doesn't step 2 (towelroot) root the device. Why do you need to flash the NE4, and then the OA1?

Thank you
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] bigwillyg:
You have to flash back to your original version of the kernel after root because if not your device will behave badly.

Hey guys.. Been a long time since I've been around here. Quick question... Will this root work on 4.4.2? I ask only because I had root way back when. Then did what many others did an excepted an update which killed root. Now I cannot update to OTA 4.4.4. Fails during install every time.

Thanks!

Yes. You are not on 5.0. Don't take the OTA or you can never go back or can not root at this time. Keep an eye on this thread for a rooted ROM that is in testing.

Follow this thread...even if you took the 5.0 ota, the g870a can be downgraded to achieve root.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] gitardan17:
Thx nutt_case. Might be worth waiting for 5.0.1 on up OTA though?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] nutt_case:
At the rate [MENTION=271250]att[/MENTION] pushes updates...might be stuck waiting awhile!

4.4.4 was a disaster IMO...I'm defiantly happy with 5.0. Battery life on par or slightly better than 4.4.2 and as far as I can tell all the major bugs have been squashed.

All depends on whether or not you need/want root. If not, then I'd say just stay at stock 5.0 and enjoy cause theirs no difference other than root access.

You still have the option at this point, but be careful of future OTA's as they could leave you stuck with no way to downgrade or root. Always best to give it a couple days and check the threads here to see what your options are.

Good luck!

Hello,

I have a SPV M3100 and I upgraded to WM6. I flashed the spl and radio and followed the upgrade guide...

I want to put back my old spl and radio so I can send it back to Orange.

Before I had:

SPL: 1.04

Radio: 1.06.00.00

OS: Orange UK ROM

Now I have:

SPL: 1.40olipro

Radio: 1.38

OS: Orange UK ROM

The Orange UK ROM I used was the Reconstructed one here:

http://xdaforums.com/show...=278060&page=3

Stupidly, to put back everything I flashed spl 1.10.oli then flashed the full ROM but kept getting noGSM and then getting stuck in boot.

To get it working I had to upgrade to spl 1.40olipro again and flash radio 1.38...

I then extracted the radio from the ROM (as its the one I need) and tried flashing it with that but still had same noGSM error.

How can I get 1.06.00.00??? on the WIKI 1.06 is unavailable (which is why I extracted it from the ROM)

In the 'Standard Method' here: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_ExtractedRadioRoms

it says... "Your device MUST be running bootloader version 1.04 to upgrade the radio with these:"

Can anyone advice me on this??? I do need SPL1.04 anyway as thats what orange shipped with my phone...

I dont know where to get SPL1.04 and is it correct that radio 1.06 can only be flashed on SPL1.04 and thats why im getting noGSM when I do it???

Thanks Everyone, these forums are great, after thinking I bricked my phone yesturday (flashing the full UK Orange ROM) and getting noGSM it is now fixed :D

P.S.

If I trust the stuff in the Full Orange ROM I used.... I extracted the SPL too which says its 1.04.

I want to try flashing SPL 1.04 first then the radio, but been advised not to? Everyone says flash SPL last! But I dont see how if it says: "Your device MUST be running bootloader version 1.04 to upgrade the radio with these:"
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] oliber:
The problem you are having is that radio 1.38.x.x will have flashed the updated Radio bootloader to HTC_BOOT 108.

Reflashing 1.06.0.0 will not downgrade the bootloader to the required 107, and afaik there currently is no way to downgrade the radio BL.

You should still be able to use the Orange ROM with the updated radio, and if you have to do a orange warranty call, it's unlikely they will complain.

@dlfranks: Read here:

@oliber: he's wanting to go to a radio with htc_boot 0106, probably that's not possible when you've already flashed 0108. I never tried this, but it seems that two users are having the same issue, so probably once you have 0108 you can only downgrade to radios with 0107 (but keeping 0108 on your phone, that is).

thanks guys, that makes sense. I think ill try the other radio. basicly i have only had it a few days and want to try a difo phone, there happy to swap it in the first 7 days... i just dont want them complaining i messed around with it...

want to make it look as much untampered with as poss!!

at least i got the orange rom on there, it looks good.

if i get the radio to the lowest one i can, how do i go about getting spl1.04 back on my phone. i have read the hard spl threads but cant work it out. i have 1.40olipro. do i downgrade to 1.10.oli then to 1.04? or to 1.06 then 1.04. what order?

I extracted the spl1.04 rom the orange rom i used...

thanks for your help again

I have a friend at the office that can basically charge his phone from 0% to full in about 15 minutes. He's being a butthead and not sharing his method. Has anyone been able to achieve this and how did you do it? What settings/ROM/Kernel combo makes this happen?

Hi folks!

I'm very new to android studio and android programming. I'm still mostly setting up the workspace and reading some texts to help me get started.

In the process of upgrading the packages in SDK manager a number of items became flagged as 'corrupt' (or words to that effect).

I figured the best response would be to select them via the check box then 'delete packages' - which I did. I was hoping that the SDK manager would then automatically recognize that they were missing and reload new, clean versions... But I was wrong! :(

They are missing completely and I'm not even sure what they were nor how many. I'm sure one was "ARM EABI..." but I don't know much else...

How do I get back the complete original listing from which I can install afresh what was missing?

Hi every one.

I've got an ASUS TX 300 CA that came with windows 8. I've put windows 8.1 update1, and everything was working great for almost 1 year.

Suddenly, when I plug the PC in, I've got a message asking with what app the PC open a .tmp file that does not exists... weird.

I order to get rid of this problem, I reinstalled windows 8.1 update 1.

That failed.... windows is OK, but the problem is still there.

Moreover, now I can't use "play to" to send films, musics, of photos on my TV... The PC does not see my TV anymore...

So here is my question. How can I make my PC see my TV???? (knowing that is was working like a charm before reinstall)

Is there a crucial service or something I may have stupidely stopped....?

Please, I need some help, it's making me mad. the little problem when plugging the PC is not important, but the one with "play to" is crucial for me.

Thanks.

Hi all, where are files such as build.prop documented? In any Linux distro one can simple type "man /etc/fstab" to learn what that file is, besides the obvious of looking at it. I'd love to find something like that for Android files, specifically /system/build.prop.

Searching on the official Android dev site, this was the best that it could do:

Note that I pretty much know what build.prop is for, but I'd like to see where it is documented. Whereever that is, there is probably a wealth of information that I wouldn't even know that I'm missing.
