[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] Dr. Fed:
Anytime you flash a full Samsung tar, you are flashing the stock recovery and system. Hence, you will not be able to flash a different ROM until you replace this recovery with a custom recovery (TWRP for example). So, you need to answer 2 questions before jumping to the latest stock ROM: 1. Is it rootable? 2. Is there a custom recovery working for it yet?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe both answers are yes. But, just to make sure, I'm going to read about the TMo S5 lollipop update before I do anything.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] elesbb:
Its up to you. Just don't wipe your efs again :) I actually think that is all Odin does when it "wipes" the efs. Meaning, wipe as to return to factory mode not necessarily wipe it from memory.

But yes efs does not get changed by any ROMs. So you can flash whatever you want. Just ensure you are doing everything correctly :)

Do I need to be on G900TUVU1CNK2 in order to update to lollipop?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] Dr. Fed:
Downloaded from mirror 2, then extracted zip. File has the ".md5" extension at the end. Should i delete this in order to rename as .tar?

I think probably not...? Can't remember...

Now i know, no need to change file at all once unzipped.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] joachim123:
I will post my process of how i updated to 5.0, as it is currently on the "android is upgrading" starting screen.

First off I did a little research and ended up pretty much saying to myself, " well if i end up losing data, oh well most of it's on the sd card anyway."

Luckily so far that wasn't the case.

Previously i was just running rooted stock 4.4.2, with TWRP as recovery.

I TRIED and pretty much failed at completing the Kies data backup cause it kept hanging on different sections

then tried the OTA straight from the phone, it ended up rebooting into TWRP and failing at whatever it was doing.

Downloaded the full stock 4.4.2 tar.md5 from the following post: http://xdaforums.com/tmobile-galaxy-s5/development/odin-t2954223

Flashed the above using Odin 3.07 with only the "Auto Reboot" option enabled.

Rebooted successfully, tested by rebooting into recover, ended up being stock. =D

rebooted into download mode and flashed the Lollipop tar.md5 from OP here, with same option as before: ONLY auto reboot.

by the time i finished typing this, phone is now with version 5.0 with all my data/settings preserved.

now flashing CF-auto-root via odin, downloaded straight from the cf-auto-root website. it then rebooted with its first error pop up saying s-health not responding. otherwise, stopping here with the list. hoping this helps others.

Edit: s health error just needed data/cache cleared, fixed that.

But the "Unauthorized Changes Detected" notification kept popping up (I also flashed the KT-SGS5 lollipop TW kernel after previous steps and making sure I had root, not sure if this triggered it) I ended up stopping it by disabling the SecurityLogAgent app in TB.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] NYCguy2020:
Anyone?!!!!!!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] clinthess:
Man Ive asked around too and the only response I got was to remove it from the full tar file myself. I was hoping before I did that, someone might post it. Havent found it yet.

Anybody having issues with the SIM card? After flashing, several apps keeps force closing and I have no network. WiFi connects just fine but no mobile network.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] joachim123:
From the website http://autoroot.chainfire.eu. just scroll to the phone model, or CTRL+F for G900T, ill just link the download link here so you wont need to search. It is listed as for version 4.4.2 of android, but it worked perfectly fine for 5.0. Make sure to extract the zip, as the auto-root tar.md5 file is inside, and as I believe Odin is included with the zip.

AFAIK, THIS IS FOR SM-G900T, so don't say I didn't inform you, whomever uses this link -

???????

I recently flashed this yesterday with odin. Everything is working great, love it. only issue I have been experiencing isnt really much of an issue but rather just annoying. For some reason I am unable to change any text notification sounds or ringtone sounds. No matter what I do it is stuck on the whistle notification and the samsung ring. Ive even booted back into recovery and tried to wipe cache again and that doesnt seem to work either. I already performed a factory reset in recovery before first boot. So idk. anyone know what the issue could be?

I wiped cache , flashed back to 4.4.2, flashed back to 5.0, and am still getting this random poPup! Has anyone else experienced this, and is there a solution? Thanks in advance!

I rooted my gf T-Mobile galaxy s5 with towel root when it first came out now when trying to update to lollipop via ota it fails can someone please tell me how to update her phone without installing a custom recovery. Please I'll never hear the end of this.

P.s I downloaded this file and tried to flash via stock recovery but when browsing for the zip it doesn't show up to flash.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] GSXeclipsePSI:
The file is in a zip file but a installable zip file. This is a stock file, you have to flash via Odin. But I'd back up her phone and stock recovery with Kies 3 and then you'll automatically get the Lolipop software and then you can restore root and data.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] GSXeclipsePSI:
neim81094

I'm pretty sure only a unrooted 4.4.2 phone will be able to be flashed with this OTA update via stock revovery. You put this file in the PDA or PA box depending on Odin version. This is the whole package, all is included.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] GSXeclipsePSI:
I'd suggest a stock recovery via Kies 3. I'm sure with the switch to ART from delvik is most people's problems. Even friends of mine on Facebook have complained of lolipop. I have not had anything close to a problem that I'd say is enough to complain about other then updates after updates after updates my data usage is up. I'm few bugs but I feel it runs great on the S5 I'm enjoying it more now then the international roms we had prior to a Tmobile realease. I am on AT&T and really a few delayed texts when dropping between LTE n regularly available signal is only problem. No FC for me yet. I also run CCLEANER often.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] galaxy s4 nutjob:
OK can you explain the kies back up process in familiar with Odin but not kies backup.

So I'll make the back up then flash the. Zip via odin in the PDA? or phone? Box

---------- Post added at 12:28 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:26 PM ----------

OK im very familiar with Odin so just put phone in DL mode put the file in PDA or pa box and boom? Lollipop?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] GSXeclipsePSI:
I have not tried it b4 and it being a major update, meaning it's changing the whole system I can't say that it will work that way. I'm not sure if it's advisable but given the size of file it should put you to lolipop and fully stock so back up phone. You'll need to re-root if u are rooted.

Kies 3 can be downloaded from the Samsung website it is basically a phone management tool for you to back up everything and for you to restore your phone in the event that you have soft bricked it I would go and download it first and then go into a firmware initialization after allowing the program to backup everything on your phone which you can use the Restore feature later this wll un root your phone but you will have lollipop and you will not need the file I posted as the program will download it automatically
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] galaxy s4 nutjob:
OK so basically kies 3 returns the phone to complete stock? And then I can update via ota like usual?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] GSXeclipsePSI:
Kies 3 will return it to stock and give you the newest firmware which is lolipop. Best option really.

Hi

I could not find any posts with benchmarking results for the 838 Pro with the different ROM versions, so I spent a whole day flashing my Dopod. No bricking so far thanks to the help from the Wiki.

I tried to keep all the test environment for each ROM as similar as possible.

In each case I installed the full ROM and only "SK Tools 3.0.61.0" to do the benchmark.

ROM's tested:

WM5 - From Dopod site - 838Pro Rom Code(12/1/2006)

WM5 - From Dopod site - 838Pro latest ROM code for Hutchison 3 network

WM6 - From XDA - WM6 Vanilla

WM6 - From XDA - WM6 Black 2.0

WM6 - From XDA - WM6 Pro Vanilla - Dutty

WM6 - From XDA - WM6 Pro Medium - Dutty

WM6 - From XDA - WM6 Pro Full - Dutty

I ran all of the tests that "SK Tools - Benchmark" has.

Please see attached spreadsheet or CSV file for more details.

If anyone has a better application for benchmarking or a better idea on how to run it, please let me know.

In theory, an xposed module could remove the ads. My current xposed module will unconditionally load an alternate launcher if it's present. I believe XBMC doesn't have the launcher flag set on it, while SPMC does.

There is currently no option to control if an alternate launcher gets started. I suspect if it's not launching the amazon launcher normally, the removal stuff isn't going to work.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] navigates:
With Spmc installed and your mod's installed through xposed, the firetv boots directly to spmc without starting the AFTV Menu. If you manually start the AFTV Launcher from spmc, you can navigate down to your menu items but the removal items is missing. I presume with SPMC, the launcher kicks in and does not let your mod's function properly. I uninstalled the mods for now. I may at a later date go back to xbmc but for now SPMC is good as it has deinterlace options. Besides that I don't see any additional benefit of SPMC over Kodi as my kodi has elmero's tweaks added anyways. The only thing missing in Kodi is the deinterlacing and as per specs, the 3d options.

Not the first time I flash anything, but first time dealing with a Nexus device.

I'm using the Nexus Root Toolkit to boot into TWRP, but when I try to look for the zip, I cannot find it in my phone.

I'm running stock 5.0.1

Any help would be appreciated.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
why would you use the toolkit to boot into your recovery? 1. you can boot into your bootloader, pick the recovery, then boot into the recovery. 2. you can install an app that will let you boot right into the recovery. 3. you can type reboot recovery into a terminal emulator straight from your phone as well.

did you download the kernel? are you looking at the right file system?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wtherrell:
What you're saying doesn't sound right.

Once you install TWRP recovery via NRT you don't need to use NRT to boot into TWRP.

Simply use your phone to download the kernel zip to your phone...... Say to storage> emulated > downloads.

Then on your phone boot into recovery (TWRP) tap Install and it should find the file. If not, you can easily navigate to it within TWRP.

You don't need to be rooted in order to remove encryption. But you do need to format all data.

Unlock in Fastboot (all data wiped automatically)

Flash TWRP 2.8.5.0 in Fastboot

Flash kernel in TWRP without encryption flag (LeanKernel or franco, to name a few)

In TWRP - Wipe -> Factory Reset, then Wipe -> Format Data -> (yes) to confirm format

But on the nexus 5, if you bought from play store, Google handled warranty. Even if it was unlocked... Like the law in many places suggest.. However if you bought from somewhere else. LG handled the warranty but they would refuse it if it was unlocked or tamper flag tripped...

Lets set one thing straight; the only DOWNSIDE to encryption, is the performance hit, and that is because they are using SOFTWARE CRYPTO. Qcom didn't have the code for hardware crypto published on time for the N6 ship date, but it is now, which means that there is a good potential for THAT to be added at some point. IMO, it is MUCH more likely that they will add hwcrypto than to fall back to allowing you to run unencrypted.
