Unlocked G900P

I have unlocked G900P using idoneapps. My question is "can i upgrade my firmware to marshmallow or install custom firmware, will it lock my phone again or it is permanently unlocked .... plz help !
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] Youdoofus:
It should be permanently unlocked. Idoneapps.com has its own dedicated forum and a moderator by the name of "NoDial" is a complete boss! He always answers my posts on there is a matter of minutes
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] Youdoofus:
there is a guy around these forums named Stifilz who has been doing G900P unlocks for free recently. You do need to be on the correct firmware for him to do it, but he has helped a ton of folks get unlocked for free. Ill see if i can find the post where he is linked at.

heres the thread. It says its for the S6, but he also unlocks S5s. Just be sure to follow the thread instructions and fill the form out because he's in new zealand and the time difference for us here in the USA makes his availability land somewhere in the 2am CST area. He is very diligent and has provided unlocks for free, so please be respectful of his time and efforts

[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] eurohunter:
For the ones that cannot sim unlock their phones on marshmallow 6.0.1, I want to share how I got it to work. I have a virgin mobile galaxy s5, and I sim unlocked my phone when i was on Lollipop using Galaxy Tools (the good old 3.1.5 and 3.1.8 update). However, when I upgraded to 6.0.1, my sim card was not recognized by the phone, and I didnt get any operators when searching for mobile operators even when i was in GSM mode. But it was not showing that my card was invalid just like when it was sim locked. Then, I simply flashed the deodexed pk1 rom by tdunham and I got signal. I'm guessing what brings the signal back is wiping data and cache, just like when we do it when we downgrade to lollipop from marshmallow. I am outside of the united states, so i do not know about the domestic sim unlock. Hopefully this will be of any help to anyone.

Yes it was working perfectly bu

I was in a really bad way. USER of ***MitchWalkerServers*** USERS BE WARNED!!!!! This guy is a fraud. His facebook page has no place to leave ACTUAL comments about the service he performs. He doesn't allow the truth to be said. He filters out the comments that don't make him look good. I paid him to unlock two phones. He didn't unlock either of them. His software is out of date. Eventually, he just stopped responding to me. He stated he was going to give me a refund. He never did. One of my phones, HE MANAGED TO BRICK! Didn't even know it was possible! He tried to install Marshmallow on a Nougat S7 Edge. Attempted root before root was available & could not reinstall the bootloader after it was wiped.

Could you explain step by step the procedure please, I have a Samsung G900P with the same Kernel OG1, already downloaded the both files but the firts one have 2 folders (META-INF, System) and a file (boot) and I dont know how to flash the phone and unlocked the gsm network
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] zeb066:
just leaving some information here for the users that still want to unlock the Spring SGS5.

The phone I got was already on MM 6.0.1.

I routed it, installed TWRP custom recovery and then downgraded to 4.4.2 KitKat

In 4.4.2 I used SSU. apk and GT tools 3.1.5 from idoneapps to SIM unlock the phone and get SPC/MSL code

At this stage in 4.4.2 I didn't have voice/data service on the mobile, although both applications were stating SIM unlocked.

I flashed a Sprint original 6.0.1 ROM but still no voice and data service, but there was no "Invalid SIM" message anymore. For changing PRL to 2G/3G/LTE I used exposed framework and Intelli3G software.

After that, I checked for updates and there was an update from Sprint. When the official update was performed I got voice service. After APN change, I also got data working but no LTE.

I rooted the phone again and changed the NVRAM 6828 to enable all LTE bands. Surprise! LTE band 3 is working now in Europe.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] Youdoofus:
when i was in europe, my lte worked on vodafone without unlocking any bands

[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tuktukscotty:
Yesterday I got the OTA lollipop update which I installed straight away. Had a play around with it and everything seemed fine.... Until I tried to use Wi-Fi tether to my Z2 tablet. It says that my tablet is connected but I am unable to use the internet. I then tried factory resetting it to see if that solved the problem but still no internet. Then today my Z2 tablet got the update so I installed that hoping that it might sort out the tethering problem but it's still the same. My Z2 phone is a D6503 and I'm in the UK. Has anyone else had this problem?. Is there any solution?.

Thanks in advance

Scotty.
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AlwynJM:

I too have lost tethering between Z3 Compact and Tablet since the update.

Does anyone know what's going on? I tried with my laptop too but that won't tether to my phone.

[Xperia Z3 General] Jhon998:
But now you should massively debloat your phone to be able to have the most number of installed apps on /data.
[Xperia Z3 General] mickyw1980:
I have 301 packages and still got bootloops. I never tried debloating the rom as I use majority. I have tried everything suggested from various threads to no avail. If I have xposed installed without any modules active it's fine, as soon as I activate any module results in bootloop. Good thread to start by the way. I'm on ee UK branded 726 firmware with xzdr 2.8.10
[Xperia Z3 General] ondrejvaroscak:
You can start experiment with adb to find out where it will stop to bootloop. Mine was at 329.

First create "backup" folder in partition with NTFS (you can backup to SD card too, but you lose permissions, so it is easier on internal). I used "/system/_backup/" so its first folder to be listed in /system. Then to remove application, I run "mv -f /system/app/AppFolderName /system/_backup/app/". You need to be in su and mounted /system rw (mount -o remount,rw /system). To restore the app you just reverse the command "mv -f /system/_backup/app/AppFolderName /system/app/" and reboot.

I can also see that different apps are reporting different number of packages:

"pm list packages" returns 272 packages, while Titanium backup reports 272 system + 7 user, total 279 packages.

And Android reports "Optimizing 240 packages" after wiping Dalvik/cache in TWRP.

[Xperia Z3 General] luminoso:

[Xperia Z3 General] robertogl:
Could you post that on Rovo's Github? I can do for you, if you want.
[Xperia Z3 General] Tonio78r:
Effectively, we have now isolated the problem, that's the point :)
[Xperia Z3 General] AndroPlus:
There's "Too many open files" error when bootloop (I uploaded log on Github, so maybe rovo knows?), so I think it should be the error we have to get over.

I found changing limit can fix the error on linux, so I changed default limit to 4096 in kernel (default was 1024).

If someone has time to test, please try this custom kernel for Z3 (unlocked bootloader needed)

http://x.androplus.org/1DSSBHH
[Xperia Z3 General] hispanico957:
And if this is correct line... for bootloader locked, it nedd change xposed.prop ??

...and in which way i can count number of app installed (without to do wipe cache that show on boot how many apps are rebuild ?)

Hispa
[Xperia Z3 General] ondrejvaroscak:
[MENTION=3989065]serajr[/MENTION] already does, but thank you very much.
[Xperia Z3 General] ondrejvaroscak:
Good that you can fix it for custom kernel :) Now I hope someone can make solution also for Stock people :)
[Xperia Z3 General] ondrejvaroscak:
you can see number of installed apps for example in Titanium Backup, or you can run in terminal or adb

pm list packages > /sdcard/installed.packages.txt

copy the created file "installed.packages.txt" to Excel or some editor with line numbering (Notepad++, Geany) and number of lines tells you number of installed packages.
[Xperia Z3 General] hispanico957:
with command from adb shell pm list packages > c:\installed.packages.txt are 483

In Titanium Backup i have:

backup all user apps: 167

Backup all app data system: 324

Backup all user app and data system: 491

.... which is correct ?

Hispa
[Xperia Z3 General] ondrejvaroscak:
I am always getting as representative and basing my work on what is reported by package manager (pm list).
[Xperia Z3 General] profprof:
Correct one is down there. "Detach user&system apps from market" or under "manipulate data" part, for example "Clear cache for user &system apps" ;)
[Xperia Z3 General] hispanico957:
..its 480

Now to see if number 329 its number magic for avoid bootloop i try and report :)

Hispa
[Xperia Z3 General] Gustavo RD78:
Great find [MENTION=5169444]AndroPlus[/MENTION]!

I applied the patch on my custom kernel and Xposed works perfectly!
[Xperia Z3 General] ondrejvaroscak:
Seems things get moving on at least for unlocked bootloaders :))

Seemingly normal Linux way to raise open files limits dont work on Android, or at least I dont know how... If anyone has idea how to get open files limit from 1024 on stock kernel....
[Xperia Z3 General] ondrejvaroscak:
OK, moving system and upgraded apks there and back is not good idea as there are dependencies, succesfully leading to fully FCKD system, so clean reinstall :)
[Xperia Z3 General] h4w:
I think integrating upgraded apks into system using titanium backup should work. This way only the new apks will be kept (in system).
[Xperia Z3 General] ondrejvaroscak:
Right, will try ...
[Xperia Z3 General] cpurick:
Not sure raising open files in the kernel is the "right" fix. Author probably needs to see if there's a reason why open file allocation is being exhausted. Still, it is a useful find.
[Xperia Z3 General] ondrejvaroscak:
Sure, but as a temporary solution it can work..
[Xperia Z3 General] redincali:
I found this a while back when searching for the fatal signals, I was receiving, during the boot process, Signal 11 (SIGSEGV). I haven't tried doing the "offset" that was proposed but if someone encountering boot loops still is willing to, it might be worth testing.

~ via Xperia Z3, XDA App
[Xperia Z3 General] ondrejvaroscak:
But doesn't rovo89 mention in his post that this offset affects Dalvik and not ART? Or I understand it incorrectly..
[Xperia Z3 General] 3Shirts:
I have 313 packages, installed the latest art framework from TWRP and it booted fine but as soon as I try a module (20mp superior auto usually) it bootloops.
[Xperia Z3 General] ondrejvaroscak:
It would be useful if you can get me this info:

Your Device and Firmware versions, wether LB/UB and if UB then kernel.

pm list packages > /sdcard/pm.list.txt
ls /data/app > /sdcard/userapp.txt
ls /system/app > /sdcard/systemapp.txt
ls /system/priv-app > /sdcard/systempriv-app.txt

and send me the txt files... thanks.
[Xperia Z3 General] luminoso:
Does anyone have occasional reboots?
[Xperia Z3 General] ondrejvaroscak:
Well, you say 313 packages, but from what you sent me in PM i can see:

pm reports 391 packages

directory listing: 129 user apps, 91 system privileged apps and 159 system non-privileged apps.

So if you are on .690 Z3 you need to remove about 62 packages or more...
[Xperia Z3 General] 3Shirts:
Oh, balls. I was going by the art optimisation number at boot.

62 is a lot. I've already shed all the easy Sony crap and Google Play stuff I don't use.
[Xperia Z3 General] ondrejvaroscak:
Temporary solution idea proposal for LB

I have ideas on how to make a temporary workaround, need someone to review and give in some experience, no developer on this side of keyboard.

Because we cant play with kernel, my suggestion would be somehow to raise file limits while starting zygote, or change limits for running process. The first could be done by invoking

ulimit -nS 4096

in init.zygote32.rc. Zygote is called as a child process, so should inherit limits. However init files are in ramdisk, it would mean to extract, change, and dd back?

Other idea is to change limits for already running process, something like enablid init.d support in recovery (dr.initd.active=true) and make script that gets zygote PID and changes limits for that process. In linux you can do it with

prlimit --parameter: --pid $$

or with gdb, however none of these are implemented in Android by my limited knowledge.

So that for ideas... any comments or practical implementation tips?
[Xperia Z3 General] 3Shirts:
Just FYI, I brutally trimmed apps and packages and got down to 326. As expected, framework is now working with several modules (20mp superior auto, transparent BBC Weather, disable charging LED).

Thanks for your help.

Looking forward to a more permanent fix of course, I had to remove some apps and games I quite like in order to get the count down and, even now, I'm only just under.
[Xperia Z3 General] ondrejvaroscak:
yep, its a pity.... makes me seriously considering unlocking bootloader...
[Xperia Z3 General] ondrejvaroscak:

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] M.A.B.:
I tried flashing CWM recovery onto my AT&T Galaxy S4 and because my phone does not connect to my computer via USB for some reason (the phone charges and my computer recognizes that there's a device in, but I cannot actually do anything with it) I flashed it with Flashify. I rebooted into recovery mode, and I got slapped with the "Unauthorized software has been detected on your phone!" message. So I tried rebooting, and I got stuck in a recovery mode bootloop with the same message. Eventually, I realized if I just go into download mode and reboot by pressing the volume down key, it doesn't try to go into recovery mode. I have already endlessly researched my USB problem, and yes, I DO have USB debugging on. ODIN recognizes that I have an external device in as well, but I haven't tried flashing anything onto my phone with it because I don't want to brick my phone because the connection to my PC is faulty. I'm using the charger that came with the device as my USB drive, so that's not faulty either. I know rooting my phone did this, and I'm pretty sure it's because I missed a step. I used this tutorial to root my phone:

[droid views dot com] /root-att-galaxy-s4-sgh-i337-android-4-4-4-kitkat-firmware-i337ucufnj4/ (I'm not allowed to post links yet, so fix the URL if you're gonna have a look)

When I flashed the I337_NC1_Stock_Kernel, my phone refused to go into download mode and I couldn't flash the I337_NJ4_Stock_Kernel as a result. I'm pretty sure that's what caused it, but I have no idea how to fix it. I'm not an expert with my phone and, despite almost soft-bricking my phone via a corrupt CWM .zip, I'm not a newbie at this either. If I could figure out how to fix this problem, I wouldn't have to worry about throwing myself into a bootloop because I can just use ODIN. I was a sitting duck before download mode rescued me, so I'd like some help as to how I can accomplish this. Any and all help is appreciated. I am 100% certain my device is the right version for that tutorial, I wouldn't try to root my phone without checking all of the simple things first.
