If you're already on 0A6 5.0 firmware and rooted with a custom recovery then a clean install would be pretty much doing a factory wipe/reset then flashing the new rom. I bought my S5 and went straight from stock to 6.1 with no issues skipping 6.0 if that helps any. My phone wasn't on 0A6 when I got it so I had to go through additional steps, then get rooted and the custom recovery before flashing 6.1. The instructions in the main MOAR thread are pretty well explained and I had no hiccups at all. Iirc, the only thing that you needed to flash an earlier version of was if you flashed one of the MOAT themes. Had to flash the actual theme before flashing the updates to said theme. Umm, yeah something like that. Hope this helps ya.

You posted in the right forum, THANK YOU! :good:

You did a nand backup, why not restore that and then try a dirty install of 6.2f. BTW, when you do a clean install, there's really no need to wipe anything, the aroma installer takes care of everything.

Just putting this out there for useful info:

The S6 launcher for 6.2 doesn't allow for text color changes, side launch, or theme changes via native apps or settings. Im sure there will be mods and NEW STUFF mods to change this but for now, if youre having those issues, switch to another launcher during the install process.

I had these issues and didnt know, my wonderful friends here helped me out so now im paying it forward. Have fun everyone! 6.2 rocks!

I already restored back to 6.1. I'll try the dirty flash tonight when I get home from work. And wiping everything before a flash is a forced habit since S2 days. Anyways so when I do this tonight when I flash I just choose the bottom option that says about changing MOAR addons (keep it dirty)? So I'd still have to wipe the dalvik cache before and after flashing?

TIBU not "seeing" backed up apps.

I've been on KK/MOAR 2.2 - NE5 for a long time as you can imagine. Finally decided it was time to move to Lollipop. Did a Nandroid, Backed up everything with TIBU and then updated to OA6 and did a clean install of MOAR 6.1. Everything seemed to go OK, except when I tried to restore my stuff TIBU does not seem to find any of the backed up apps and Yes I made sure it's looking at the folder where the files are located.

Any ideas? Does the fact that KK uses Dalvik vs ART for Lollipop have anything to do with it?

Thx.

I didn't say there was anything wrong with 6.2. Personally, I think 5.0, or OA6 itself, is a sack of poo. It has given me problems with TiBu and external SD cards before, and haven't been able to update PRL/Profile by ota, unless I'm connected to Wi-Fi.

[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] morenoa48:
I think there is a problem with Odin flashing the firmware for these Lollipop Roms. Also with recoveries, either wiping or installing. I flashed the original V6 of MOAR on Sunday, only to end up with failed SMS and missed calls (even after the ##3282# fix). So I Odin'd back to the official OA6 TAR, expecting a fresh start...well it was a mess. It was sluggish and WiFi speed seemed to crawl. I checked the status of the rom and it read "custom".

So I Odin'd Philz recovery, wiped/formated everything except MicroSD. Then Odin'd the NK4 firmware and Official TAR successfully. I booted, set up, checked the status and it read "official".

I went on to take the OTA, ran it for a few hours, Odin'd Philz recovery wiped everything as I had done before and installed MOAR V6 (the updated release). Everything was perfect! I flashed KT's Kernel and everything was great!

But then I started messing with the Kernel settings and screwed something up, the phone was frozen and rebooted. I went into Philz recovery wiped everything as before and flashed MOAR once again, when it booted it was still running KT's Kernel. I went back and repeated the process with no luck, also tried the official TWRP and KT's as well. No luck!!! It would not remove KT's Kernel.

I went back to Philz, wiped everything once again, Odin'd the NK4 firmware and Official TAR but when it booted, it was wonky and the status read "custom".

All this time I was using Odin 3.10

After several Odin failed attempts at achieving the Official status, I rebooted my PC, loaded up Odin 3.04 and flashed the AO6 TAR. This did the trick! I achieved the official rom status and everything is working great!

I thought I'd share my experience so you guys can see there is nothing wrong with the ROM and maybe offer some explanation as to why some people are have issues and some are not. I personally think Odin and the recoveries are hit or miss when flashing the firmware or TAR.

I apologize, I've been lurking way too long, I have less than 10 posts so I cannot post to where this can be seen and more useful.

[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jhuff83:
Is it possible that when you use the volume rocker, instead of showing media volume it could show notifications volume instead. To me, media volume is pointless sense you can adjust that when you are watching a video or playing a game within the game with the volume rocker. The only quick way I found to get the notification volume is to pull the status bar down and long press the sound to change that volume. I'm sure this is a lollipop thing since kit Kat allowed you to hit the settings button after pressing the rocker and see phone media and notification volume bar. Hope this makes sense.

Just want to point out anyone going through activate reboots, that this step was what did it for me.

At first I did not reboot at all in between flashes. I flashed full .tar, then recovery, then moar and kept getting reboot countdown timers and phone would reboot constantly.

So now I flashed full .tar, I let it boot and it went through some upgrades after that booted to recovery flashed moar and everything's been fine since!

After that restart your phone and the issue is forever gone, and calls and texts work!!

I would highly recommend flashing the OA6 tar. Do a complete setup. Just the basics. After its set up let it settle for an hour, the go ahead and flash MOAR. I've done it to 3 phones now. Mine, my mothers and my sisters and all are running without hiccups. 1st thing I always do after a clean flash is let it sit for a bit so everything registers and settles, then I go flash happy

No problem with ItsOn or any countdown timers. To be honest the 3 phones are running flawless and buttery smooth

Always a good idea to copy contents of your sd card to your computer (if you have one available) before flashing. Doesn't help your hosed sd card but at least you have a copy of your backups, etc safely saved away.

6.2 observations

After reading the last few pages of this thread after the 6.2f drop, I am seeing a couple of things that I am also experiencing.

1st, the force closing of apps. I have seen multiple people mention different apps that are closing immediately upon opening. For me, its the Starbucks app. Like others, I did a clean install. I did a nandroid back up, backed up with TiBu, wipe, install...the whole nine yards. I didn't restore any apps. Only SMS messages. I've checked all my other apps and they seem to be working correctly. Others have mentioned the ESPN app, but that work fine for me.

2nd, some have mentioned issues with ext. SD. After backing up and installing the ROM, my SD card fried. Isn't recognized by the phone, won't format, isn't recognized by a PC, even after multiple attempts to format on multiple PCs. I've tried adapters and card readers with the card. Nothing.

I'm by no means saying that 6.2f caused this SD card problem, but for more than one person to mention it....it might be worth looking into.

What are you thoughts?
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tdunham:
We are taking a look at the app issue. I don't know if there's anything we can do about sd. That issue has been going on longer than you know.

For thousands of users running this and only a few reporting issues, it's really difficult to point at anything in particular.

Just a thought while I was messing around last night. Jmocherman, is your starbucks app linked through your Facebook account? I'm asking because I noticed that my ESPN app, which is linked through my Facebook, didn't force close until I clicked the button that said, "log in with facebook." After that it was starting to force close upon opening. The Fandango is also linked through my Facebook. I also noticed when I did my restore back to 6.1 that I got the notification Facebook session timed out and that "Samsung is trying to access your Facebook account/ single sign on prompt." Not sure if that is of any use.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DurhamHusker:
