Hey, just a reminder when flashing custom firmware that some don't have the apn setup for cricket service so you might want to make that as your first priority. I am using 900T on cricket was thinking of getting the cricket variant since I now know it has unlocked bootloader. Keep up the updates on what works and doesn't work till then. And if you run into a problem sending mms change the mms port to 80.
[Galaxy S 5 General] Swimguy14:
Thanks for the tips, adding apn is definitely important if the rom can't find it on it's own.

The 900t has unlocked bl too though, doesn't it?
[Galaxy S 5 General] isanchez340:
Did it work? I was going to try it out but I'm running cm12.1 so I can't until after school when I flash back to stock
[Galaxy S 5 General] Carlos2200:
Yes it does but the cpu and lollipop rims don't play nice. You really have to keep the ram clear and no open background programs running. Don't get me wrong I love this phone but not with L!
[Galaxy S 5 General] scrawnyb:
Any updates from anyone on the AT&T TW ROM on Cricket S5?

Running CyanideL 5.1 RC11 currently, looking around for other options.
[Galaxy S 5 General] Swimguy14:
I'll be honest I'm back on (cough) kit Kat (don't shoot) for the moment because 1) xposed 2)xposed and finally 3)xposed.

Was out of town again last week and I'm very much 'out of the loop'

I got flashify ready to roll and may try flashing that AT&T modem l8r, assuming nothing comes up
[Galaxy S 5 General] RussSteele82:
Sorry I didn't update but the Modem failed in Odin....The .tar that contains the Modem also contains another file flashed with the Modem.bin that handles Wifi. I have also reverted back to (cough) KitKat for Xposed support!!! XtreStoLite 1.5 with add-ons.
[Galaxy S 5 General] janus_des_caires:
Hi,

Do you mean that lollipop for galaxy S5 is not stable at the moment ?

Thanks
[Galaxy S 5 General] scrawnyb:
I think the quick answer is that TW-based Lollipop ROMs are not stable for our phone.

If you aren't hung up on TouchWiz, the ROM I'm running [Cyanide L] is pretty decent.

See the thread: http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s5/unified-development/rom-t3060723
[Galaxy S 5 General] janus_des_caires:
Thanks, but I am really attached to TouchWiz ... But cricket seems not to update the software ...
[Galaxy S 5 General] scrawnyb:
Someone should put in a request to Cricket to ask about the Lollipop update and if they are going to update software for this phone at all.

It would be good to know. I would ask, but I don't feel like arguing with them though; I have enough billing/referral issues that I'm still fighting them on...
[Galaxy S 5 General] Swimguy14:
Exactly what 'scrawnyb' said, albeit if you do not have a current service plan, you can use the phone just with Wi-Fi and everything (other than being able to use data/phone) works fine software wise. The only other thing is xposed doesn't work and may not ever work (developer said)
[Galaxy S 5 General] janus_des_caires:
Hi,

Actually I asked them and they "don't have any plans for the Cricket software updates" ...

I seriously doubt that they have an inside team dedicated to the software updates...

---------- Post added at 06:06 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:58 PM ----------

Do you know if it is possible to have the AT&T TW rom installed in a Cricket device (G900AZ) ?

Because I am looking for the same functionalities that TW, but Cricket will never update their devices ....

Thanks a lot :)
[Galaxy S 5 General] Swimguy14:
Yes it is absolutely possible

Well

It was when the roms were based on kit Kat.

It's possible no one has tried to flash a full lollipop touchwiz rom from AT&T.

The lollipop roms based on international firmware have had the problems discussed here in recent posts.

You want to hear from russsteele &or scrawnyb //get their opinion
[Galaxy S 5 General] scrawnyb:
I'm still using CyanideL. For the most part, I love it. I don't need TW, so its a good fit. I do get some occasional random slowness from time to time, but its rare. Seems to correlate with GPS usage or when location is first turned on.
[Galaxy S 5 General] neatojones:
I spoke with Cricket and they said the Galaxy S5 will be updated to Lollipop, but they would not say when.
[Galaxy S 5 General] isanchez340:
guys do you know where i can find an odin flashable att lollipop modem?
[Galaxy S 5 General] RussSteele82:
I have found it's not as easy as just flashing a "modem". There are 2 files to the Modem. One is responsible for "Data" (modem.bin) and the other is responsible for "Wifi" (non-hlos.bin). They need to be in a .tar ball in the correct flashing order. Even if you just create a Modem.tar.md5 to flash in Odin. I've been messaged recently asking if successfully downloaded the ATT Firmware. The next time I jump on Wifi I will upload to Dropbox and allow one person to download it and host if others are in need of it.
[Galaxy S 5 General] willdareal2010:
Say has it been confirmed of and roms to work on g900az besides the aosp roms i really been flippin back and forth from all the aosp roms and the lonely 4.4.2 basic rom for the g900az no lollipop tw roms for the g 900az either huh.....��

Looking for a few questions first is there a touchwiz lollipop rom for the g900az
[Galaxy S 5 General] Swimguy14:
Yes, any of them for the 900f will work but you won't have a cell phone your s5 will in effect be a WiFi only device
[Galaxy S 5 General] willdareal2010:
Thanks bro for the replay well i guess i will stick with AOSP roms then #oneday ?
[Galaxy S 5 General] willdareal2010:
But when will there be a modem for lollipop or will it be just kitkat only
[Galaxy S 5 General] Volkaru:
It all depends on when Cricket does the S5 Lollipop update. If at all. Then we'll be able to use more Lollipop ROMs.

Question of my own, though. Read a while ago taking the AT&T lollipop update locks the bootloader for the cricket device. Have any brave souls confirmed this, yet?
[Galaxy S 5 General] willdareal2010:
I tried to put it in via odin but all it does is heats up the phone very hot and i used the tar stock file for the att lollipop update but to no avail it will boot but no signal just like all other tw roms ?

It didnt lock my boot loader cuz once i saw it didn't work i got my cricket stock g900az tar file and re-installed no problem

---------- Post added at 08:18 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:14 PM ----------

I like touchwiz roms just because of the weather app the weather app that comes with the aosp roms which is that yahoo weather looks so plain

Bout to go back to my lg g2 it had a better version of lollipop just until the cricket gets the lollipop update? bad part is no sd card
[Galaxy S 5 General] BigMatza:
Someone please clarify

Why would you wanna delete the thread this is the only thread we have to talk about our phone the g900az of course and they don't have a dedicated forum thread for our phone we are mooching off of the AT&T s5 thread .... plz don't delete
[Galaxy S 5 General] BigMatza:
I typed up a rather long-winded post, posing some questions to the group. After doing some research, I realized that some of my assumptions were incorrect, and thus my questions were moot. I'm simply asking the mods to delete my post as it no longer serves a purpose in this thread.

We've had Lollipop since the 8th! Grab KIES3, and install this badboy! Happy Lollipop flashing!

--Warning! No one has gotten a copy/tar of the firmware, so we will hopefully get a copy or system dump to get everyone on 5.0?--
[Galaxy S 5 General] Swimguy14:
Wow thank you for posting this. I had no idea

But I'm guessing once you update, root will be lost? Did it update your boot loader to boe3?

I'm downloading now
[Galaxy S 5 General] neatojones:
I have Kies 3, but it does not see the update. My phone doesn't see any update either. I searched online and can't find it anywhere.

Any hints on what I'm doing wrong?
[Galaxy S 5 General] :
It's probably going to take a while for it to hit Kies 3 it seems. Mother's Cricket S5 hasn't gotten an OTA notification. The update does exist.

---------- Post added at 04:43 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:38 PM ----------

Root will be lost when applying either OTA or Kies 3. It will update the bootloader+radio/aboot/etc to OE2, as I can assume. Once we have an OE2 updated user, hopefully they can test if Lollipop ROMs flash without any hitches.
[Galaxy S 5 General] scrawnyb:
Does anyone know if this latest update keeps the unlocked bootloader? Also has anyone here actually managed to acquire and flash these files?
[Galaxy S 5 General] :
Kies doesn't want to pick up what I'm putting down. The Binary folder doesn't have any files yet..and the Emergency Firmware Initialization only offers the latest version of KitKat to initialize...
[Galaxy S 5 General] neatojones:
If you run Kies without plugging in the device you can tell it a device model and S/N. So, it would seem we could probably download the firmware without even having a device plugged in if we know a SN of a device that can get it.

The device is SM-G900AZ
[Galaxy S 5 General] jagogo7:
i was finally able to update mine after trying all day. it kept saying i was up to date so i gave up . i came back 12 hours later and it finally said an update was available. finally running lollipop.
[Galaxy S 5 General] janus_des_caires:
Do you have the lolipop OTA with the cricket phone ? thank you .
[Galaxy S 5 General] Swimguy14:
Yeah well I spoke too soon about downloading it, kies keeps telling me I'm up to date.

No question it's real as it's shown on Samsung's website that 5.0 update released June 8 is the latest firmware for the sm-g900az
[Galaxy S 5 General] Swimguy14:
The only affect update will have on boot loader is that it will be updated to a new version, but no they certainly wouldn't lock it now for no reason. That would be cruel and I'm not sure if even possible...
[Galaxy S 5 General] scrawnyb:
Jago, did you acquire it via Kies?
[Galaxy S 5 General] osker83:
Just to let everyone know we can still root the cricket s5. I did it with Odin and installed a custom recovery. The lollipop cricket rom runs better, but hopefully we can get a system file so we can deox this rom to use xposed. Make sure you don't have reactivation lock checked because if you do you won't be able to install the custom recovery and root it.
[Galaxy S 5 General] jagogo7:
yea i did it from kies. i also flashed twrp with odin and rooted it. im going to try out some custom lollipop roms now that i have the new bootloader.
[Galaxy S 5 General] scrawnyb:
Once you grab it from KIES, is it cached somewhere on your PC that it can be shared???
[Galaxy S 5 General] osker83:
It goes to the tmp folder. I have it but I don't know how to extract it since it's a temp file.
[Galaxy S 5 General] scrawnyb:
If I PM you the link, do you mind uploading it?

Apparently the filename is: WNF-SM-G900AZ_15.06.11.01.zip
[Galaxy S 5 General] neatojones:
Sam mobile has the firmware on their website for anyone wanting to download.

And if we extract the Kernels using a tool like: (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2763946) we can flash the kernel for the NE7 then run towelroot. Afterwards we can flash back the new kernel, Now you can have root on the newer firmware for anyone wanting to use the TW firmware (and still Knox 0x0)

need help for carrier locked cell

hi guys!

I have cricket galaxy s5 which was locked and I had to get it unlocked by some guy who used root method and I don't know about it how! now my query is that can I use lollipop firmware from above methods? or it will become locked again?

and for all my other brothers info sam mobile has just uploaded lollipop for cricket s5 today you can have it.
[Galaxy S 5 General] neatojones:
A SIM unlock is permanent, so if that is what you meant by unlocked, then you have nothing to worry about.

If you mean an unlocked bootloader, the bootloader was always unlocked on the G900-AZ (cricket S5). It should still be unlocked after you upgrade but you will have to have the stock bootloader for the upgrade process if you are flashing the ROM through Kies or using the upgrade process on the phone.
[Galaxy S 5 General] :
Alright! Starting the download, folks! I will extract most of whatever there's in the firmware on SamMobile.

I'll try and see if I can make a deodexed ROM soon.
[Galaxy S 5 General] osker83:
Awesome. Let me know if you can get it deodexed.
[Galaxy S 5 General] :
Starting the deodexing process! Shouldn't take too long. After that's done, I'll run it through the kitchen and post it. You guys want a stock dump, or a debloated dump? IIRC the Cricket apps are on the play store!
[Galaxy S 5 General] osker83:
Stock rom will be fine , but it's fine debloated if you want to.
[Galaxy S 5 General] wasim509:
thanks for info

hi neatojones!

my sim unlock was done with some method "other than the having the code which is purchased" as the mobile unlocker guy would not tell me . how I get to know my boatloader? and if I do update by odin ? then how can I preserve my stock boatloader? i hav downloaded the firmware but just want to confirm again so that i couldn't mess it up........

Downgrade Lollipop to KitKat 4.4.2?

Long time reader, first time poster...

I upgraded to Lollipop via Kies yesterday for my Cricket S5. But I really miss my rooted/xposed setup from KitKat. I downloaded the 4.4.2 OM from SamMobile and tried to flash via Odin, but it failed and I got the following error on my device:

SW REV CHECK FAIL : [aboot]Fused 2 > Binary 1

As best as I can tell, this error comes up because of the new bootloader from the Lollipop update. (reference: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2798396) Some suggest removing the bootloader files from the ROM archive, but I get a "FAIL (size)" from Odin.

I'm trying to preserve my knox 0x0. Some have reported success in downgrading, but by using custom recovery. Does anyone know if there is a way to downgrade without tripping knox? Is it true that since I have the new boatloader I can no longer go to older ROM without a custom recovery?
[Galaxy S 5 General] Swimguy14:
Sadly, since you took the ota you'll be unable to downgrade or even root it until someone finds an exploit allowing the boot loader to be downgraded . You're stuck on 5.0 till then, if it even happens
[Galaxy S 5 General] osker83:
You could root the new lollipop rom. I have it rooted. I am just waiting for a deodexed ROM to install xposed.
[Galaxy S 5 General] neatojones:
I'm not sure what you mean here. If you update with odin, then you can choose which parts to install/upgrade. But if you install the full firmware it will upgrade everything including the bootloader.

---------- Post added at 04:34 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:31 AM ----------

I wasn't aware of a current exploit for Lollipop for the device other than flashing the kernel from 4.4.2 and then rooting ...then flashing the new one over it. Or, using a custom bootloader to add files to the system directly.

Is there another method that can be used for people with knox intact?

---------- Post added at 04:36 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:34 AM ----------

Can we still use Odin to flash parts of the firmware? Ie: Just the kernel or a modem without changing the bootloader?

Also, does anyone know if the bootloader is still unlocked?

Basically, I think you have three options: 1.) Have someone like eduardog131 extract the firmware pieces like the kernel from 4.4.2 and then flash it. Next root. Then install the kernel from 5.0.

2.) Install a custom bootloader and become knox 0x1

3.) Find a new root exploit.

Any lollipop TW from 900F you could use just use custom kernel. I like how the stock lollipop is. You just need to install the custom recovery and install supersu then you will be rooted and then download the ROM you want and install it through recovery.

You don't even have to root it , usually, most custom roms are already rooted so all that you have to do is install custom recovery and then reboot into it by holding vol.up+home+pwr ..install rom...enjoy
