[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] gigilie:
so yA I figured you guys had already referenced my Safe UP or Downgrading Thread but I guess not.

Be sure and wipe. If your looping you probably didnt wipe.

If your already in Lollipop you can flash the 2 ROMS in the OP using Flashfire.

If your still on NCx or NK firmware flash the ROM in Safestrap on the Stock slot and then flash the ReUpgrade No Sys tar file found in my Up and Downgrading Pack.

5.0 With Safestrap - Downgrade File in Odin or my NC2Flasher.apk which will restart to Safestrap then flash the ROM. Reboot to Download mode and flash the ReUpgrade (If you've chosen to use Safestrap to upgrade using the SAFE UP and DOWN Method you'd follow the same steps as if you were on 4.4.2 Still!)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] XxD34THxX:
Didn't help with SMS for me as reported before... Also, I couldn't get Wifi to work(with and without the modules and your wifi fix) as well no Google Play... Really wanted to try out the s6 port, but I need SMS and wifi
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Likkleskip:
You flashed the new file and it failed twice?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] hitaxas:
Flashed Super6 twice now and have been stuck at Samsung logo for 30+ minutes. First attempt was using FlashFire from OC1 Lollipop. The second attempt was from NC5 using SafeStrap. I am about to reflash the NC5 downgrade and restore stock Lollipop...

I followed all instructions to detail.

Also, is there any chance we will be seeing a non TouchWiz ROM anytime soon? Would love to have AOSP or CM Lollipop on this device.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Likkleskip:
Same here failed me twice.. im scared to go again :(
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] XxD34THxX:
No QOSP based ROMS unless they break the boot loader... Eclipse and Kitpop are pieces of WOSP and Touchwiz
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] ATGkompressor:
Honestly, (no offence [MENTION=3618916]gigilie[/MENTION]) ;)...But Eclipse is by far the most stable custom Rom I've ever ran on Kit Kat. Why go thru the hassle of all the Wi-Fi and APN issues that come with AOSP/GPE ROMS when all some are really looking to do is get rid of Touchwiz theming..(ok..and maybe DVFS)? The functionality and performance of AOSP isn't that much better...if at all, in my OPINION.

Now.. [MENTION=3618916]gigilie[/MENTION], I'm fixing to flash Echoe 49....this sms/mms issue has kept me away from it. But I believe I can fix it. T-Mobile users are reporting no sms/mms issues. I'm just so used to Safestrap from the s3 and s4 KK, and the Lollipop update is a new ballgame with the qfuse increase and NK4/OC1 split. I'm wary of FlashFire, as it is still in beta and there is a little confusion surrounding backup capabilities. And the Multisystem threads have turned into a whirlwind of negativity, confusion, and forum-flaming.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] XxD34THxX:
I wasn't in the flashing game when Eclipse came out, but my assumption is that it had its own bugs. But when I DID use it, it was stable. Now, I know that we all are raging at Verizon for several reasons, chiefly the locked boot loader, but can' t we blame them for our trouble? I'm with you on Flashfire. I am too used to Safestrap.

Anyways, I WILL flash this once a proper SMS fix is made because I need it for work.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] notonmdk:
S6 flash failed

I ODINed to NC5, and from safestrap, the S6 port flash failed. Checking the md5 verified a good download.

Is there a place that we can download the firmware faster?!
[Galaxy Tab S General] GuestD0349:
Not yet... Someone needs to download an upload somewhere else. I'll upload it to my Google Drive and provide a link, but my upload speed is slow so might be a few hours still. I'm about half done the download now.

Can i flash this without problem with odin?
[Galaxy Tab S General] omniphil:
I would say yes, here's the instructions...

Extract (unzip) the firmware file

Download Odin v3.09

Extract Odin ZIP file

Open Odin v.3.09

Reboot Phone in Download Mode (press and hold Home + Power + Volume Down buttons)

Connect phone and wait until you get a blue sign in Odin

Add the firmware file to AP / PDA

Make sure re-partition is NOT ticked

Click the start button, sit back and wait few minutes
[Galaxy Tab S General] pincakez:
both links are very slow :(

but thx anyway

waiting for better one :rolleyes:

Hongkong version works smoothly so far on my Italian SM-T705.
[Galaxy Tab S General] GuestD0349:
Is your tablet unlocked? Just realized I think I have to unlock my Canadian SM-T705 before I can install Hong Kong firmware... :( Waiting for an unlock code now.
[Galaxy Tab S General] mohammadreza.n:
There shouldn't be any need for unlocking!
[Galaxy Tab S General] vichet007:
Anyone could upload to Mega please?
[Galaxy Tab S General] GuestD0349:
Hmmm. Well it's not working for me. I also ran into this problem with 4.4.2... I couldn't Odin flash anything except the stock Canadian firmware. I was actually wondering if the Canadian model is slightly different. Model number is SM-T705W. Anybody know?
[Galaxy Tab S General] mohammadreza.n:
Mine does not have that "W"!
[Galaxy Tab S General] omniphil:
You might need one of the other ones...

http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/search/sm-t705/

Not sure which it would be though, but those are the 4 up there now...
[Galaxy Tab S General] GuestD0349:
Yeah I've seen and tried those, they don't work. I'm not sure why, but the Canadian "W" version is not listed and never has been... :confused: It's been available in Canada for about 6 months now. If I can't flash a normal SM-T705 firmware, I'll probably sell the tablet and get a Nexus 9, because hell will freeze over before any of our Big 3 release an update...
[Galaxy Tab S General] Tanmenso:
Hey guys!

Where can I find a flashable Lollipop 5.0.2 modem for the SM-T705? doesn't matter the region, Hong Kong, Germany etc for recovery purposes, thanks...
[Galaxy Tab S General] ayenzel:
Ive tried many Lollipop build for T705. But one thing I notice is the fastest, smooth, lag free build is from the latest build which is from Saudi Arabia firmware. I notice its much faster than other firmware from Hongzkong, US, Malaysia. Saudi Arabia latest firmware is the fastest and smooth for me. I really satisfied with the performance. it improves a lot.
[Galaxy Tab S General] mamali.z:
Thanks

For sharing mate can you tell me where are you from? Cuz im on Hong Kong rom and i was thinking about getting Saudi Arabia rom since it has more langusges that i could use cuz im in middle east iran. Are you sure its running better than Hong Kong rom? If so that means they improve the rom on every release?
[Galaxy Tab S General] drmodify:
I agree with the latest from Saudi Arabia being the fastest! tried it and looks like its gonna stay for long in my tablet!

On the other side does any one here use Adobe reader?? I'm getting force closes upon opening the app after updating to lollipop
[Galaxy Tab S General] mamali.z:
Update your Web system app mate and will fix the issue

[Galaxy Tab S General] sanzo77:
Hi. I'd like to flash my T705 with lollipop UK 5.0.2 downloaded from sammobile.

But I'm not an expert, then I prefer to ask you which steps I have to follow.

Now I'm on 4.4.2 rooted and TWRP installed.

I'd like to know when I have to do factory reset, when and which wipe I have to do and how to make a good backup to restore after upgrade to have back my apps configured as they are now.

I've tried to use adb backup -f c:\backupT705.ab -apk -shared -all -system and now I have an ab file of about 1,8GB, but on the tablet I can read that I have 6GB/16GB free... could be that the ab file is compressed or something is missing?

Can I achieve these goals or is there something that I can't do?

[Galaxy Tab S General] mrgcav:
I have a SM-T705C from mainland China. I installed Odin and got it rooted but that is as far as I can get. TWRP will not install. I have the TWRP manager installed but not the full app.

I cannot get onto Google play as it is locked down. (banned in china) No GPS maps either. I want to replace the the Chinese KitKat OS with any other OS. I am told the Hong kong version of KitKat is not restricted like the mainland version. But I can not find it. The current OS is locked down and in Chinese. It has some English but its limited.

I am in the USA and needed the LTE version. The 705C was all I could find.

I would replace it but I can not find another 705 LTE version that works in the USA. USA versions do not have a Transceiver/Cellphone.

Need serious help.

anybody know if the screen write function still works in your tablet? or is there a way to return that function back? it's so useful..

also you guys having problems with music? it's not detecting my files in the main memory but in the sd card it is
[Galaxy Tab S General] iqandjoke:
Stock music player can play songs in main storage. On the other hand, i feel that the sound is much weaker in low volume setting on lollipop than kitkat. And for Hong Kong rom, it forces include an app named Smart tutor.
[Galaxy Tab S General] emiltoma:
Same here, screen flashing, mobile network drops, reboot. But if i enable power saving everything is ok. I heard about mainboard repairs/changes but I have 01 knox warranty void and I believe that romanian service won't repair my tablet. I will try to revert to 4.4.2 and see what's happening. I am on Hong Kong 5.0.2.
[Galaxy Tab S General] drmodify:
Anwering my own question, you can enable screen write by enabling toolbox. In the options menu of toolbox you can see s finder and screenwrite as choices there
[Galaxy Tab S General] drmodify:
Hey guys can you try this with our tablets. Got it from the xda portal and read some intersting things in the s6 and note 4 thread and theorized it may work.

Our tablets suffer the same symptoms as with the others since 5.0.2

Its working on my tablet, hope it does on yours

Thanks to [MENTION=6692131]MiniMoose[/MENTION]

I advise to you back up first before anything else, its not my fault for whatever happens to your device, do this at your own risk.

go to root/system and then look for build.prop file and enter the ff:

ro.config.dha_empty_max=36
ro.config.dha_cached_max=12
ro.config.dha_th_rate=2.3
ro.config.dha_lmk_scale=0.545
ro.config.sdha_apps_bg_max=70
ro.config.sdha_apps_bg_min=8
ro.config.oomminfree_high=7628,9768,11909,14515,16655,20469

Then clear cache and dalvik too then reboot

tell me if it works for you guys

I've got a T705Y version in Australia on KitKat... Which regions firmware would be best to flash to Lollipop with? I don't want to run into any problems with the devices radio.

Then you gotta flash the CFautoroot thing to get root back...
[Galaxy Tab S General] ashyx:
No need to flash cfautoroot after twrp as that will replace recovery with stock. Twrp already has the option to root.

[Galaxy Tab S General] petrofsky77:
this lollipop release firmware update is only meant for SM-T705 models only. If you have any additional letters after SM-T705, like SM-T705A or T705W, this update is not for you. If you try to update it, it might not work or it will brick your tablet, so be very careful with this. For the intended model, this update will upgrade your current stock KitKat 4.4.2 to 5.0.2. Be sure to do a factory data reset after the update so that you will not experience random performance issues after upgrading.

Just to let you know off my experience.

I updated yesterday, flashed the firmware with Odin ... everything OK.

Then i tried to root - SuperSU failed to update. Rooted again - success.

Did not notice significant improvements though - perhaps better scrolling speed through menus (am using Nova launher - Samsung default still very laggy).

Some apps have problems ... Here maps do not load (uninstalled, re-installed - no success). Navionics the same. I dont know if it something with the GPS, Google maps work though.

Cleanmaster does not allow me to disable apps from loading on start up - says that now i need SuperSU pro (with 4.4 i had not such issue).

I am not sure about the battery yet.

There is a new app in replacement of WatchOn i guess called Smart remote (pretty good)

Antutu score with 4.4 - 37.000

Antutu score yesterday with 5 - 28.000

Antutu score today with 5 - 35.000

Overall, i am not so excited - some visual improvement at least (as i already used Nova, no so impressive though)

(if anyone can suggest something for HERE maps i would appreciate that as it was an app that I used a lot)
[Galaxy Tab S General] emiltoma:
Installed, factory reset, rooted and debloated. Works perfectly, even the network signal is perfect, even if i am in Romania and the phone from this firmware was created for another region. Factory reset is essential, i didn't do that on my note 3 after lollipop update and I had lag problems.
[Galaxy Tab S General] Chris0706:
[MENTION=6656661]strs[/MENTION] Did you do a full wipe ? I would recommend that! For me Maps works without problems. I removed bloat with Root App Delete, said it didnt work, but worked anyways ;)
