Going to Root My S5

I have a Galaxy S5 and I'm going to root it. I have Rooted my Epic4g and my Galexy S3 before. I plan on installing The Moar ROM. My question is what recovery do I install. I've downloaded the on from Qbking77 from You tube. It has Odin3 v3.07 and I guess the kltespr-smg900p.tar. I'm assuming that's my recovery. I plan to first install MOAR NE5 v2.2 first . I've downloaded MOAR v2.2. But eventuall plan on installing MOAR v6.0. I have that also. Just was waiting to see how it's running. So those are my concerns. Any suggestions would help
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ramondel:
The first thing that you need to check is what bootloader your phone has. Does it have NE5 or NKD? Is it 4.4 or 50? Then you will need to flash the approriate MOAR ROM 2.2, 5.0 or 6.0.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slwroln:
I'm on NK4. My phone. I'm on 4.4 Model number is SM-G900P
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ramer:
It's super easy to root the S5 (although this isn't the thread to cover this, but oh well :) ). All you need to do is odin either TWRP or Philz (the .tar file) from HERE. Then boot your phone and download SuperSU from the Playstore. Bingo, you're rooted. (More instructions below [MENTION=4367053]Ramondel[/MENTION] reply)

NKD was a leak, so I'm guessing your on NE5, unless you managed to get the OTA of Lollipop (OA6). If you're on NE5 (BTW, you check by going into Settings > About Device, it's the last 3 digits of your firmware). Personally, I would just go right to MOAR 6.0 and there are step by step instructions in post #2. One caveat though: Wait until tomorrow as [MENTION=1167171]rompnit[/MENTION] just put out the word that an updated version of MOAR 6.0 will be posted tonight.

Welcome to the forums and please read the FAQ and the rest of the top posts as they get updated routinely and will be helpful to you.:good:

[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rompnit:
Strange.. Sounds like there's gremlins in the closet. Particularly since 'itson' was removed from the ROM, but its there for you? Was there an update in \data? Are you cleaning through recovery or through installer? ItsOn.apk collects diagnostic and tracking data, and returns it to the carrier; call it a modern day CarrierIQ. Could explain the call and MMS issues if there are remnants left from it.

Go Launcher EX with Moar (Sprint Galaxy s5)

Hi all, long time lurker, first time posting. Read the QA thread, did not see anything related to my Question.

Two issues:

Is anyone running Go Launcher EX with MOAR OA6? There seems to be a space approx 1/6th if an inch below the notification bar that is unused, and it is slightly tweaking with the widgets I use. If you want to replicate this, install go launcher EX, and transition to one screen to another, you can see the short space between the navigation bar and the Go launcher "window" if you will.

Texting - Works, but I have to resend after the first one fails.

I installed MOAR after completely wiping phone and SD card installing the Sprint version first, then MOAR per installation instructions above.

Thanks!

So where is "ItsOn.apk" residing?

/data/app

/system/app

??

Its got to be left over from flashing the tar.. But can write lines into the installer to manually delete it. Nobody needs that garbage on their phone anyhow.

I'm sure it can be searched for through es file Explorer by going to the root of the phone and searching itson [MENTION=3687161]ronniemation[/MENTION] maybe you can find it since you're still on oa6?

Mods/helpful staff:

I recalled another person stating that they are unable to overwrite/install the stock kernel back over KT in recovery (apparently KT sticks). Would I need to just odin the stock OA6 kernel to the phone to replace the KT version? Any cache/data wipe necessary? I want to test the stock kernel out to see if it helps resolve some of these issues. Thinking it might possibly be related to KT.

thank you!
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ramer:
What I've done in order to go back to stock kernel is:

1. Turn off auto-start on boot in KTweaker.

2. Flash stock kernel. (Link in OP), clear cache. (just cache, unless you want to wait 20 minutes for phone to boot).

3. After reboot, use TiBu to freeze KTweaker and KT monitor.

4. Delete the KTweaker folder on internal SD.

If you want to later go back to KT Kernel, just unfreeze KTweaker and Kmonitor. The folder will get re-created on flashing KT Kernel again.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] netengineer:
Okay, so my home key and my left button will not work. My right button will go back but that's it. They light up when I touch them. I tried everything but nothing seems to work.

For a bit it would be sporadic but now nothing. Anyone see this issue before?
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Iriez:
Thanks [MENTION=2674887]Ramer[/MENTION] !

"Galaxy_S5_spr_Stock.Kernel_OA6.zip" ---> flashable from recovery? What is "Galaxy_S5_spr_Repacked.Kernel_OA6_ADB.and.INIT.D.zip" ? Doesnt stock OA6 already have init.d built in? I know what ADB is no explanation needed there.

Im assuming the tar.md5 is for odin and the zip is for recovery.

Tried it and it didn't work. I'm at a loss
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ramer:
Both the Home and left captive don't respond at all? I can't see how MOAR would have caused it. Are you having any other problems on Lollipop? Anyone else have any ideas?
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] netengineer:
It seems that the home, left captive don't respond and the right captive only goes back (no long press)

Only other issue I have is SwiftKey doesn't respond on selecting the key labeled '123' or the key to choose punctuation both at the bottom corners.

I have tried uninstalling the keyboard thinking maybe that's stepping on the captive keys. That didn't work.

I use Apex launcher and tried uninstalling that and that didn't work either.

Those are the only issues I am having.

One more thing, I am running willowmaker420 theme.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ramer:
I use Swiftkey and [MENTION=5923966]willowmaker420[/MENTION]'s and [MENTION=5046040]JoeyDuran[/MENTION]'s "The Theme" "MOAT for MOAR" as well. Only difference is I use Nova Launcher. You're having some sort of a hardware issue. No idea why it would pop up at the same time you installed MOAR 6.1. I don't think it will help, but you could try a dirty flash in case there's software that controls the keys that got corrupted. Did you do a nanoid before you installed? You could downgrade the bootloader and restore your nanoid.

Edit: Have you been in Mod Control > Buttons and Display to set any buttons up?
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tdunham:
Stock is true stock.

Repacked was created for init.d and ADB support so it's been modified from stock. I don't think stock kernels have init.d support but there are other ways to achieve this for roms but its easier just to have in built into the kernel.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] netengineer:
I just did a dirty flash and that didn't fix it. So the theme was over written. What I can recall is that I I did change some of the buttons in MOAR Control, it worked for a bit then it stopped. It would sporadically come back but it hasn't most of the day. Captive buttons light up.

Also, I was able to change the home key in MOAR Control and added double and triple tab and those work. Left Captive key I can't get to do anything.

Upgrading from MOAR 6.0 to 6.1

Hello!

Figured I would ask the pro's :) What's the recommended procedure for upgrading from Moar 6.x to Moar 6.1 ??

Thank you so much - new here and attempted searching first!
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ramer:
Welcome to the forums. :)

Being as this was your first post, I won't give you a hard time, but your answer is in post #2 in big red text! You can flash MOAR 6.1 just like you flash any rom. Going from Kitkat to Lollipop required certain steps, but going from Lollipop to Lollipop is a standard flash. Just flash it and do a clean install.

OK, been up and running on the re-downloaded, re-flashed, re-everything MOAR 6.1 for a few days, and it's a bit more stable; however, now the biggest issue I have is that the lock screen won't lock. Normally, I set my time out to 2 minutes. After 2 minutes, I should have to unlock with my fingerprint, as it is set up. However, for some reason, it only requires a simple 'swipe' and it unlocks, unless I swipe on the padlock icon at the bottom of the lock screen, which then locks it. I have changed all of the settings I could find, but no banana. I'm still also working on a slowness issue, but it's better than it was. The no-lock-screen issue is an absolute deal breaker if I can't find a remedy--can't have my oh-so-important stuff not be under lock and key! Anyone have any thoughts?
