Freeze during boot

I have applied the OP methods to my phone (G870A) as well as my wife's (G900A) and all is working well. Each of us has experienced a freeze at the AT&T globe with the blue l.e.d. on during a reboot. I had to perform a battery pull as the phones were unresponsive to any button. It has only happened one time for each of us and doesn't seem to have caused any other issues. Has anyone else experienced this?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] nutt_case:
Was it the initial boot that hung? The first boot after flash does take way longer than normal.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] boyhonda5:
I would say after a handful of reboots is when this happened. I haven't made any other mods to either phone other than as described in the OP. (no safestrap, kernels, etc.) Both phones were rooted beforehand and on XDK 1.1
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] nutt_case:
Does seem more than coincidental that it happened with two separate devices...me and the girlfriend both have g870a and neither of ours have had any issues...both came from stock rooted ng3.

Unless it becomes a regular occurrence I would worry too much.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] boyhonda5:
I will keep an eye on them, thanks for the input.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] AnarchoXen:
Came from Unity ROM V2.1.0 NJ1 and just flashed per all the excellent instructions. No need to pop the battery, all loaded well. The ATT globe hung per the OP, then loaded with no issues. Running smooth now. Awesome...I got this phone day 1, and now we finally on LolliPop.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] parkerj7uc:
Has anyone heard about G870A getting their own fourm? Or are we stuck with S5?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] muniz_ri:
The response I received from a mod was that too much time has passed since the device's release, and it is approaching obsolence in light of the S6, to create a new forum.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] AnarchoXen:
The Question was asked on day one, we didn't get one. Now? thinking prob not...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] talkingmonkeys:
As far as roms and system things go parker the only difference is the active key, the camera and the active mode app. Well active key needs a few changes to settings and to the keylayouts I believe too. Funny enough all the code is in the s5 system files even the international devices. Want to work with me on updating cstayton's multi device support? I don't have an active to test on or I'd have it out already.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] parkerj7uc:
I can't deicate my time but I can try to test. I just came from S4 with safestrap. Still trying to figure this Flashfire out. I themed and modded my framework and got it to work. Kinda weary to do stuff. I guess if anything fails I can odin back right. PM me and we can figure something out.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] talkingmonkeys:
Look in my thread and use my safestrap method so you feel more at home. I only use flashfire if I know what I'm flashing won't cause major issues. I'll be in touch with you soon.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] RingoStarrPower:
Worked Perfectly

Thanks! That was super super helpful. I wasn't even really paying attention and it still worked.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] nutt_case:
Actually happened to my g870a last night...first time out of dozens of reboots. Just hung at the Att logo for several minutes then went dark and unresponsive. Battery pull and it booted right back up.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] dbodom:
Finally got around to updating to 5.0 with this method. It took running thru it a few times, and I did reinstall base 4.4.2 plus root first. Worked great. Thanks for your efforts on this.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] muniz_ri:
You mention it took a few attempts. Did it hang when rebooting or something else?

The new ROM posted on 5/7 auto wipes while flashing which seemed to eliminate the reported failures so curious to hear your details. Thx
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] dbodom:
The first two times, the files loading/scrolling screen came up and then the phone rebooted and nothing really had happened. All of these attempts were after a fresh load of ANE with Odin. I decided to wipe all data the third time, rebooted, went thru the process and after the loading/scrolling scren, finally Flashfire loaded and completed the install. The first two times never got to the Flashfire update screens. Its working great now. Now I'm reloading my apps and cleaning the phone up. A wipe of the phone is a good thing every so often.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] muniz_ri:
Thx, that sounds lika bug with FF to me and unrelated data, etc. The joys of BETA.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] graciela57:
I attempted this today and the exact same thing happened. Please help
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] chris10241:
same problem.

I attempted and I am stuck on the Samsung boot screen. I can go flash back to stock firmware and be OK but I want to be able to flash the lollipop rom. Please help. I believe I am doing everything correctly but somehow it does not finish, just stops at the Samsung screen. :( Thank you
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] nutt_case:
Odin back to ne4 and start over.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] graciela57:
I have flashed back to stock rom and attempted multiple times. Could I attempt to use safestrap instead?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] nutt_case:
I want to say that the latest version in the op is FF only, but I could be wrong. You can try it, though. Worst case it'll bootloop and you'll have to flash back to stock again.

Which version of FF are you using? Latest is .18. Also did you try redownloading everything and verifying md5. Could possible be a bad download.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] graciela57:
I am using the latest version on the play store. I will try to download again, how do I verify md5?

---------- Post added at 07:33 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:01 PM ----------

I attempted to check and I don't think that it matched. The text came out red, so I don't think that it verified. Yet I downloaded the stock firmware and the lollipop firmware from this thread
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] nutt_case:
I use es file Explorer myself, but FX is good too. Not sure about the red text but your file explorer should generate a 32 character string that matches what's shown on the download link page.

Edit:

1f1112c4fc128ec3559b1325b171b379

This is the md5 for the rom file in the op. If it doesn't match to your download then the download is corrupted.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] graciela57:
After flashing with FireFlash, the device was stuck on boot with Samsung logo. When u went to bootloader to Odin stock firmware (NE4) AGAIN, the bootloader says "current binary: Samsung offical. System status: offical". I don't feel like I've made any progress. I thing I'm just going to stay in 4.4.2 until a better solution arises
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] muniz_ri:
If you decide to retry make certain that your screen timeout setting is set to 10 mins. [MENTION=5848265]npjohnson[/MENTION] theorizes early screen timeout druing the flash is causing these issues. Please report back. thx
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] muniz_ri:
Set your screen timeout setting to 10 mins and try again.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] radtech777:
Muniz_ri, what is different on the ROM you posted today? Is it something we should flash if we are not having problems with the current version? And thank you for your hard work.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] muniz_ri:
No need to reflash, I have been playing with different ROM's trying to resolve the freeze upon boot issue. But it looks like FF's handling of screen timout during a flash was the problem all along.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] foshizil:
I'm stuck at the Samsung boot screen. I've been trying on and off for the past 5 days. I've downloaded and verified the MD5 check sums for both ROMs. I've reverted back numerous times via Odin, towelroot to get root and from there to Lilipop via FF. I've tried from internal and external storage and recently changed the screen time out. I cannot get past the Samsung boot screen and I'm not sure what else to try. Any advice or additional info is welcome. Thanks in advance.

Edit: I originally took the OTA update to 5.0 then reverted using the instructions on the OP
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] foshizil:
I just noticed the G870A_OC5_Stock_Rooted_ROM.zip had a new MD5 checksum 093316270ebad6d1110b3e254bb804ba. I tried this file and it worked finally. Disregard my last post. Thanks a zillion for all your hard work!!

[MENTION=4708661]muniz_ri[/MENTION] I have been trying to unpack your system.img.ext4, I have tried 3 different ways. Each time it unpacks but there is no Systemui.apk or SecSettings.apk. Am I missing something? Can anyone help?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] chris10241:
What do you mean a new checksum. Did you redownload the file and it worked?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] muniz_ri:
The ROM is 100% stock except for the addition of root.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] muniz_ri:
He means I uploaded a new ROM. Only difference is it now re-formats your system partition so that everyone starts off with a clean slate.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] chris10241:
So before I had problems with being stuck on the Samsung logo screen. If I attempt this with the new uploaded ROM, and set my timeout to 10min, will I possibly succeed this time?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] muniz_ri:
Yes, but let us know if you do not succeed.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] parkerj7uc:
Can someone do me a favor, if your running this rooted stock rom can you look in your /system/priv-app and see if there is a systemui.apk or a SecSettings.apk
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] foshizil:
Both the files are there

---------- Post added at 01:00 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:56 PM ----------

It worked for me just follow the OP step by step, but if you've tried before with no success download the newest rom and check the md5.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] FtaWolf:
Here systemUI u looking for. Be sure put it in own folder under /priv-app . Then set ur permission.

Well it's working. Just have a few things to redo to it and I'll be releasing a zip to add support. I'll try to do the same for twisted or pass it over to those guys. I'd like to make one for alliance too but that may take me longer. I know they've modded that app more than I have and I'm not sure of all their mods they've done to it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] muniz_ri:
Uploading deodexed version of the stock rom for testing. Stay tuned...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] muniz_ri:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] radioguraphics:
Thank you

Finally , I had updated my Galaxy S5 Active to lollipop.

thank you.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] XmastodonX:
I just got an S5 active that already came with OC5. With your method I was able to drop down to NE4 and then root and go back up to OC5 without an issue. Thanks all for that btw.

Quick question though... are any of you able to access 'More settings' or call forwarding under the phone settings? When I try I get an error saying Network or SIM card error. Seems to have happened to a lot of people on different phones recently but I didn't find any sort of fix for this. I know that's not what this thread is about but I figured some of you may have seen this after going through this process? Anyway, thanks for any help and for helping me root this.

EDIT: Just an update. Went back down to NE4 nad could forward. After going back up to OC5 Same error. Network or SIM card error. It looks like it might just be this update.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] Ginther:
I was on OA1, rooted it then updated to OC5 with this thread method. I'm getting the same error when trying to set up call forwarding. I kinda need that feature too. :(

Would also like to be able to remove the "custom" status on the start up splash screen.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] nutt_case:
It's a software bug, my g870a has the same issue. I use Google voice for voice mail and my work around was to put my sim back in my Nexus 4 and set up fowarding from their. Those settings are network side so they stick...even if your s5 shows otherwise.

Hopefully [MENTION=271250]att[/MENTION] gets a fix soon.

Edit: I think I read a few posts that said Triangle Away still works to fix the custom status.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] Ginther:
My friend's Active was forced to take the OC5 update over the air. Is he unable to get root now?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] berniesteven:
He can get root on the active. [MENTION=4708661]muniz_ri[/MENTION] has a thread. Search is your friend.

SM-G870 Peace
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] Sgt.CM:
Yes, Triangle Away works.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] Ginther:
I did search. Thanks.

All I could find is THIS thread.

The OP starts out saying you must already have root before using the initial method mentioned.

I see at the bottom of the OP it says - 4. If you do not already have root access you must flash the G870AUCU1ANE4_Full_Odin.tar and root with TowelRoot before continuing with the above process.

Is he saying that you can ODIN back to NE4, even after the OC5 5.0 OTA ?? And if so do we know if it'll trip KNOX or not? Or does OC5 kill all these options?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] berniesteven:
Yes, on the active you can Odin back. I believe it will trip Knox.

And, I'm sort of embarrassed. I forgot I was on this thread when I quoted you originally. [emoji2]

SM-G870 Peace
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] Ginther:
So version 3.26 HERE will work even though the S5 Active is not listed as supported?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] Sgt.CM:
yes running it myself. no problems.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] Ginther:
I get my threads mixed up too. I'm working on an S6, an S6 Edge, and five S5 Actives right now. Two have taken the OTA OC5, two still on 4.4.4 and one 4.4.4 one I successfully rooted and updated to rooted OC5.

Trying to keep the processes for each straight is a PITA!

I'd really like to know for sure about the KNOX trip before messing with the OTA OC5 ones. They may just be out of luck if it trips KNOX.

---------- Post added at 01:03 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:48 PM ----------

Installed it, ran it, rebooted, no custom splash screen any more.

Thank you!

---------- Post added at 01:21 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:03 PM ----------

In case it got lost in the earlier posts....

Does anyone know ....

If a stock unrooted phone that has taken the official OTA OC5 update .....

Can it be ODINed back to NE4, then rooted with towelroot .....

Then updated to the "off the air" rooted OC5 update attached to this thread in the OP ???

And if so do we know if it'll trip KNOX or not?

Thanks in advance for anyone's help.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] nutt_case:
No, shouldn't trip knox
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] Ginther:
Now I'm really uncertain. You say it probably wont trip, berniesteven believes it will trip it. lol

I PM'ed muniz_ri to see what he thinks. No reply yet.

Thanks for the input though.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] foshizil:
I took ota, used this method and it did not trip knox.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] XmastodonX:
I got mine with 5.0 already on it. Odin'd back to NE4 without issue. Although after it hung at the AT&T logo until I did a battery pull. Once in NE4, I towelrooted, changed my screen timeout to 10 mins and installed Fireflash. Went through the process outlined by Muniz. Knox NOT tripped.

I actually did this twice to check the call forwarding issue. Still no Knox trip.

---------- Post added at 05:17 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:11 PM ----------

If you follow his method to the T i know for certain it will not trip. I started out on unrooted OTA 5.0.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] XmastodonX:
That's what I thought but when moving from my old phone it didn't stick the first time. Only reason I realized it wasn't working was because of the annoying AT&T VM nonstop notification.

Also, if you do not have anything important on your intenal storage include internal storage in your wipe to free up space.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] berniesteven:
Now I'm afraid to try.

SM-G870A Peace
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] joseste4:
Make sure that before you wipe and flash with FF that you have the actions in the correct order. That's VERY important. You might have to flash complete back to stock via Odin in download mode. Root and start the entire process over. I'll try and post a how to video when I get home later if I can convince my wife to let me flash her phone. She's a big fan of the XDK rom with Xposed features.

I gotta say this Rom has been amazing. It's quick and I have experienced 0 issues so far. I'm currently removing bloat ware and trying to see if I can get some xposed features to work (haven't had luck yet). So far I'm going on 4 days strong with this under heavy use and like I said 0 issue. Amazing job. And I like FF alot.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] muniz_ri:
We will see if the issues continue and go from there.

Based on the number of downloads compared to reported issues I suspect it is working in most cases but I may put up a new file later tonight to test.

I have followed the steps and flashed and everything is working fine, I love the stock rooted rom.

Nope. You can use flashfire to backup but i don't belive it's working right. There is no was of booting straight into custom recovery without the safestrap method. There's nothing to it.
