[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] budeone:
Hello,

I am trying to root a Verizon s5. I read the directions and I thought it was going to be pretty simple.

I started with SM-G9000V

4.4.4

G900VVRU1ANK2

I flashed G900V_NCG_Stock_Kernel.tar and worked fine. Towl/su worked great.

Then it says to flash G900V_NK2_Stock_Kernel_.tar and that is where it gets bad. It says in odin it finished but it will not boot again. It goes right to stock recovery. I try to reboot and it just hangs on samsung then goes back to stock recovery. The only way to get it to booted again is to run G900VVRU1ANCG_Full_Odin.rar.

I am rooted and all is fine but I cant do a back up because I cant get safestrap to work. That is a whole other story. I am looking for a way to get him back to 4.4.4.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tulsadiver:
After you root, and SuperSU (update its binaries and reboot) you need to install busybox from the play store, open it and install it. After that, safestrap will install. After safestrap is installed, Odin the firmware of your choice. When your phone starts to boot up, safestrap recovery option will show. Click on the recovery button and install the rooted ROM (which you should have already on your phone) that matches the firmware you flashed in Odin.

Here is NK2 stock rooted ROM.

[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] budeone:
Thanks for responding.

Busy box is installed and shows no errors. All I get with safestrap is safe system: not active
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tulsadiver:
It will always say that if you are on the stock slot. Did you hit the "install recovery" button?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] budeone:
Yes. It seems to install but it doesn't
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tulsadiver:
If you don't mind starting over, flash this tar instead.

Re-root with towelroot, install SuperSU from play store. Update its binaries and reboot. Download busybox from play store and install. Install safestrap, install its recovery. Boot into recovery to see if it works.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] budeone:
Going to try that Monday. Thnaks!~
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tulsadiver:
I just tried it using flashfire instead of Odin and without safestrap (but you do have to be rooted). This worked for me but I am no expert. Just a hacker that is willing to try about anything, ha,ha.

Install flashfire (found at the top of this post). http://xdaforums.com/verizon-galaxy-s5/general/how-to-update-to-g900voc4-5-0-keeproot-t3068546

Download to your phone the rooted stock ROM and corresponding firmware of your choice from here. http://xdaforums.com/verizon-galaxy-s5/development/ne9-stock-rom-t2878981

Open flashfire. Hit the plus button. Select firmware and navigate to the firmware you downloaded. Select boot and recovery. Click the check mark in the upper right hand corner. Hit the plus sign and select zip or ota. Navigate to where you put the rooted ROM. Leave auto mount unchecked.. Hit the check mark. Hit the plus sign and select firmware again. Navigate back to where you put the firmware and this time select boot, recovery, modem, and firmware. Flashfire will ask if you want these in separate flashes. Say yes. Hit the plus sign again. Select wipe. Check everything but SD card. Now arrange everything in this order (drop and drag).

Wipe

Firmware-boot & recovery

Zip-rooted ROM

Firmware-modem & firmware

Firmware-boot & recovery

Ever root - inject SuperSU

Reboot- normal

Hit the lightening bolt to start process. When done you should be on the stock rooted firmware you chose. Again, I just tried this myself and it worked for me but try it at your own risk. I'm just a hacker and not an expert like these other guys.

Instead of hiding it by swiping it down, try dismissing it by swiping it to the right.

My wife's phone was recently updated to Lollipop via OTA. Well to keep it short, she now hates her phone.

She wants to get her phone back to KitKat.

Its not rooted.

Is it possible to use the LG Tool to downgrade her software without having any ill effects?

Its the T-Mobile Variant og the LG G2

Sorry if this question has been asked or answered but everything I've read pertained to Custom Roms.

TIA
[T-Mobile LG G2] Shamec:
I would like to know as well.
[T-Mobile LG G2] channeledbymodem:
You must use the LG Flashtool and appropriate kdz file available in this thread:

LG G2 Stock Firmware (Go Back to Stock) | LG G2 | XDA Forums - http://is.gd/nOqp5c

The instructions are very clear but you need to follow them to the letter.

Be sure to get everything off the phone possible beforehand. You must do a factory reset after the downgrade. You may wish to make sure that the phone is set up to back up apps and data to Google although a restore will usually only restore the apps and not the data. You can back up photos either automatically to Drive via the Google photo app or just copy them from the DCIM folder on the phone to a computer.

Anyone notice that when the screen is at its brightest in the sun and you are on a light or white screen there is a vertical bar running down the left side of the screen? The screen will also exhibit blotchy spots throughout the screen. Is this a characteristic of AMOLED screens in general?

[General Questions and Answers] buggs1a:
Hi. I currently have the Verizon Galaxy S5 on Kit Kat 4.4.4. I'm looking to go to tmo for WiFi calling and other stuff. I'm looking at the One M9, S6, G3. I can't decide. Each has their pros and cons. And making decisions is one of the hardest things for me in my life. I know of the G4.

One thing I'm looking for is to have a darker ui. I don't like Lolipop being so white. I know each phone has themes but not sure if I like much of them. I'm planning to root to get rid of bloat apps and to maybe change the ui look if possible. Except I'm not good at rooting or I need step by step easy info on how. I have rooted before the touch pro 2 I think.

Thanks.
[General Questions and Answers] Planterz:
Are you buying outright, or are you going with the payment plan and/or trade-in-your-old-device plan?

If you're buying outright, remember that this opens you up to any unlocked GSM phone like Nexuses or the OnePlus One. No wifi calling though.

If you're going with a payment plan, of the phones you listed, the G3 will have the most custom development support. It's easily rooted, and you can flash custom ROMs like Cyanogenmod, which give you lots of theming options. You'll have to stick with the stock ROM for wifi calling though. I can't speak for stock themes with these phones. Even with the stock ROM though, the G3 will give you the most options, especially with Xposed. It won't be quite as future-proof as the S6 or M9, but it'll still be good for at least couple years before it's "obsolete" rather than simply no longer the latest and greatest.
[General Questions and Answers] buggs1a:
Hi. Thanks.

I'm switching to tmo and would be paying for the phone per month and then upgrade after half of it is paid off which is when they let you. I would be trading in my S5 as well. So I'm guessing they'd pay off my contract and buy my phone for $? on the trade in.

But it's really hard to pick. I kind of think the G3 is a side grade and the others a small upgrade. Plus when I got my Verizon account last year I first got the G3 but returned it for the S5 because landscape didn't work on the G3.

I like the screen size of the G3 and resolution. Performance I'm sure is fine. But I don't like how flat they made the ui and how is all white.

I've seen some s6 themes and the avengers one seems nice and a purple one too. The space one seems ok too.

I would really like to try a rom to unbloat the phone apps. And change the ui color.

Why no WiFi calling except stock?
[General Questions and Answers] Planterz:
Wifi calling with T-Mobile uses their proprietary app, which only works on certain phones, and only with official T-Mobile firmware.

Root with the S6 is possible, but it'll void the warranty. Granted, rooting usually voids warranties, but Samsung has this "security" feature called KNOX. With the G3 you can root it and install custom recovery, but if necessary, you can revert back to stock and no-one's the wiser. With KNOX though, they'll know you've hacked the phone (if they check), and it's irreversible.

Root isn't necessary to "debloat" though. Deleting system apps is often a bad idea, and doesn't really do you any good. Disabling or "freezing" them is typically a better approach. For example, T-Mobile has this "feature" called Visual Voicemail. It sucks, it's useless, and it gives you constant notifications and reminders to update. Just disable it. Debloating system apps doesn't free up any space; your phone has a certain amount of space already partitioned for "system", and deleting apps from this partition won't free up space for games or apps or photos. Just remember to disable apps one at a time so if something goes wrong you know which app caused the problems and you can undo it.
[General Questions and Answers] buggs1a:
Thanks. Debloat means less apps running right? That happens when you disable? On my S5 I've disabled several. Does that mean they are truly disabled and never running? They are hidden too and I'm not rooted.

Ok. Sounds like the G3 is the safer better way maybe especially if I plan to trade it in for an upgrade in a year right?

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] kswa1987:
Hi guys,

I have the t-mobile s6 edge

After messing around with my device last night and this morning, I decided to go back to stock for a bit.

I have ODIN 3.10.6. I went into download mode on my phone. extracted the stock firmware from this thread: http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s6-edge/general/sm-g925f-s6-firmware-thread-t3078841

loaded the "G925TUVU1AOCG_G925TTMB1AOCG_G925TUVU1AOCG_HOME.tar.md5" file into the ap box for odin

connected my phone to computer, odin recognized it. hit start. ran successfully. rebooted, android guy came up briefly and said installing system update, then it changed to "Erasing..." then it rebooted again

now it's just bootloops forever after the tmobile screen. I can boot to recovery and it says installing system update each time I boot to recovery, but selecting reboot system there shows a no command error. force the phone to power off... power on again to bootloops.

tried to go into download mode again and reflash everything through odin, same issue!

I started last night by rooting using chainfire, then installing TWRPv2, then I flashed the 5.1.1 ROM available from [MENTION=2346758]eousphoros[/MENTION] (sorry for the tag, just thought you might want to be apprised of the issues in getting back to stock after using the 5.1.1 ROM).

with 5.1.1 loaded, smart switch didn't recognize the phone for a reset so I decided to go with the ODIN method and now i'm in bootloop city

any help would be greatly appreciated
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] eousphoros:
You probably need to do a factory reset

In the future you should make a full backup before installing a rom
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] kswa1987:
AHH!! Sorry to have made this post... here's what I did to get it actually boot:

reflahed the stock firmware through odin again, tried to reboot, it failed, obviously. rebooted to recovery, factory reset in recovery, power down option in recovery, then turned the phone on again and it magically worked!

hopefully this post will help someone who encountered the same issue
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] kswa1987:
thank you so much for the quick reply, I ended up figuring out the solution while you were typing. sorry to pull you away from other tasks. I have several backups saved to my PC but thank you for the reminder!! :laugh::laugh:

How long did you have to wait in the stock recovery to get past the "installing system update" screen? Mine just sits there and I'm unable to view other options in recovery.

EDIT for noobs (like me): wait 30 seconds on the "installing system update" screen.

I initially used odin to flash OI1 update, after a rom I was using caused problems and I got bootloop. It changed bootloader value to b:3 and I'm unable to downgrade now so I used smart switch which didn't recognize device so used emergency recovery and still bootloop. I have factory reset and wipe cache multiple times along with adb side load and individual flashes of bootloader, modem, kernel, flashed custom kernel and twrp to access fix permissions and to mount partitions with advanced wipe etc and still wont boot past logo. Also during one fix attempt phone said can't mount system.. Idk I'm not understanding where the problem is .everything says successful but I'm still in bootloop. Please help.

Hi guys,

I recently changed from a nexus 5 and the phone is super nice. Of course, hardware > software.

In any case, I noticed a starting a few days back that I do not get gmail push notifications as they come.

Meaning, I have to pull to refresh. This also means that I do not get new gmail notifications.

I did some fiddling around with the settings and it wasn't set to notify me for all new mail but even with this on, I don't get timely notifications.

I did further research and noticed that I get my notifications on wifi but not on regular data.

-edit-

I tried it again and now both wifi and data are not reliable. I'm on a hotel wifi connection so I expected this but I wasn't expecting this from the data.

Has anyone heard of the S6edge having possible radio/modem issues? If so, I'm going to go exchange this device for another s6e.

I'm really hoping that it doesn't come to that and that it's a software issue more than hardware.

The thing is, I don't know if anyone knows but the same thing above happens to me with an application called kakao talk (a korean version of whatsapp)

I don't get push notifications and when I open the app I get bombarded with messages.

After opening the app and then closing it, I get updates like normal.

I can't figure this out. Do any one of you have any suggestions?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] xketch:
I don't get notifications for gmail or inbox either, everything is turned on. It was bothering me before but I got used to it . I use kakao religiously but with notifications off..I'll tick then on and see
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] k0p4n:
I couldn't wait and I just factory reset my phone.

Gmail notifications come as they should without me having to manually refresh the feed.

Yesterday morning I was on wifi and kakao notifications came in time as well, but I forgot to try this on the network and slept after turning it off last night.

This morning I woke up a little earlier than my alarm and noticed no notifications thinking I didn't get any.

However as soon as my alarm rang and I turned it off, notifications started coming.

Am I going insane? The device seems to go into some network sleep mode and will only start connecting once it's literally awaken.

I'm trying to rule out app bug, software bug, but most importantly, if this is a hardware bug.

If this is a hardware issue, I only have about a week to exchange it.
