[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] daddynexxus:
I have searched for about the past 3-4 hours which is a lot longer than it usually takes for me to get to the bottom of these dang things. My phone (Galaxy S5 G900A Lollipop 5.0) has been really screwy on the WiFi lately (home, out in public, family members homes) so I decided (after a factory reset, safe mode, etc failing) to go ahead and try to downgrade my phone. So I went online and found out you can do it with Odin (3.09, 3.10, 3.06) and attempted it. I downloaded a stock 4.4.4 firmware and went to work. Immediately it failed with the error I am still getting which is the following:

Example of the firmware update screen: Unable to post outside link, just google "firmware update encountered an issue galaxt s5" it's the first image.

Example of the download screen I use with Odin (as instructed): Unable to post outside link, just google "download mode glaaxy s5" it's the first image.

I have attempted using both the old and new version of Kies to perform the emergency and normal firmware update procedures. My phone does not show in the emergency firmware recovery screen and the firmware update mode ends in an error telling me to use the emergency firmware update, which as mentioned does not work.

With Odin I have attempted: Multiple computers, multiple USB ports on each computer, reinstalling Samsung drivers, restarting computer, multiple Odin versions, multiple firmware files (4.4.4, 4.4.2), running as administrator

Windows 8.1

Update on errors: My screen shows the following error on my phone in RED under "UDC Start" when Odin Fails:

SYS REV CHECK FAIL : Refer 2 > Binary 1

SECURE CHECK FAIL : system
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] Sgt.CM:
You can't downgrade from 5.0. Flash 5.0 and you will be fine. If I'm not mistaken, the new bootloader is not backwards compatible and therefore won't let a downgrade happen.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] daddynexxus:
Took to Best Buy, flashed and resolved in less than 10 minutes at Samsung center.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] s8freak:
You won't be able to downgrade and that was your problem in the beginning
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] Rayman3030:
Same issue

I have having the same issue, I tried flashing Odin 4.4 back to the S5 once it has 5.0. It now errors out in Odin and in Kies, I really dont know what to do. Error: SW Rev Check Fail : Aboot Fused 3 > Binary

[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Exmix:
So, I have a Galaxy S5, obviously, it's through Verizon and is running 5.0 and it's a G900v, i've poked and proded around looking for ways to root, i've come up with Towelroot, but it doesn't support my device, and i've been told CF Auto Root, when I looked into that apparently my device, G900v, isn't supported with that either, so it is possible at all to root this at this point in time. I also apologize if I overlooked another thread asking this or for a way to do this but I did search around and those are the only 2 options I kept getting.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rakuu:
I believe you may be able to downgrade, towelroot, and flashfire up to lollipop, you might be stuck on lollipop though, check the verizon s5 section theres some threads there for it.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Exmix:
Yeah I figured there's no way without downgrading to 4.4.4. I may do that, i'll need to look around on how to do that.

Awesome, thanks, I'll give it a shot and post back when I get to it tonight probably.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Exmix:
The only issue with this is, my phone hasn't been rooted at all. So I can't use this one either. =\
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rakuu:
Well you can sniff around in that sections, ots specific to g900v so you have an exponentially higher chance of finding your answer there.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Exmix:
Welp I did it! Got it rooted by downgrading to 4.4.4, flashing to NCG, Rooting with Towelroot, then Flasking to NK2. SO now just to find the right ROM to get back to Lollipop.

Incase you guys wanted to do it as well.

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Homurato:
Hello to everybody, so i was thinking my nakasi was really dead this time, the last thing i did was flashing a 5.1.1 rom next when i rebooted got stuck on lolipop boot loop so i restarted the tablet

manually to access the recovery, and to my awe, i couldn't no more access the recovery ! (latest twrp) tried again and again nothing, no recovery no bootloader, can't start the OS

always stuck on google logo with the options above, start, bootloader, recovery etc, today i realized i could access the bootloader and fastboot mode (ADB recognize my device when i type fastboot devices)

so i tried flashing stock image and stuff with no luck, tried many stock roms, tried wug's toolkit and the flash all.bat still no luck, i get all kind of error messages here is a screenshot, help is really appreciated if there is anything i can do to save it :

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Homurato:
the problem seems to be that i can't write the things i send to the tablet via ADB, tried the NVflash recovery today and got :

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gaosphappy:
Have you tried not imputing the full file address as you have the emulator already running from that location.

So recovery command would be.

Fastboot flash recovery "name of recovery Img file here"

Just make sure that the image file is in the platform-tools folder.

Probably not your issue but its going to save you some typing.

;)

Good luck
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Homurato:
Thank you for the tip I'll certainly use it, but i don't think it is the culprit since as you can see in the screenshots

the files get sent successfully but cannot be written, my bootloader is unlocked by the way
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adomol:
Did you try the latest factory image? I noticed you are flashing a very old bootloader, possibly the first one? 4.23 is the current version.

Where is flatline_grouper.img coming from? I've never seen that.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Homurato:
Hello kind sir, of course at first i tried the 5.1.1 full factory image with the NRT toolkit and got the same writing errors next i tried many bootloaders

(one of them found it here as a 100% working bootloader) the Flatline is the recovery of the NVflash tool where you can access it to unbrick full bricked N7s

if you got blobs.bin of your N7 backed up (clearly not my case)

the flashing writing error i get it with everything i try to flash, recoverys bootloader system etc

when i send them with the flash all command they got sent to the tablet okay, but when writing i get the errors

i don't know but there is a small informations if that can help, before it broke my system was in EXT4 and all the rest in F2FS
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fwayfarer:
It's entirely possible your memory has failed. I'm reading more and more people running into corrupted memory issues.

You can get a replacement motherboard cheap on eBay if nothing else works.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Homurato:
I'm still hoping for a software solution since my fastboot works fine, I'll let the motherboard solution my last i guess
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Homurato:
Hello some news about the still staggering situations : when the tablet is off and i put the charger i get the battery refiling animation ! so that mean the bootloader isn't broken

and i still can access fastboot mode, even when i push a bootloader i get a signature match message, but the problem is still that the things i push can't be written as i'm still getting a :

FAILED <Remote: <FileWriteFailed>> changed usb cables, changed ports, the last time the tablet was working i had the system on EXT4 and the rest on F2FS, maybe if i can convert everything to EXT4 ?

Hello everyone..

I got an LG device that is stuck in CWM recovery, and I want to upload a file to the device using ADB. and I have two questions.

1. I'm running Windows 8.1 64bit, and tried several ADB drivers but the one that's detected was a Samsung driver, now the phone reads "Samsung android ADB interface" in the device manager. Should the device work properly?

2. When I typed the command "adb devices" the replay is normal but it says "unauthorized" instead of "device" or "recovery". Any idea what causes this or how to fix it?

Thanks in advance.

I have been doing research for days and it seems this website has the best rep and volume of knowledgeable Android users.

IT would also seem that ROOTing the Alcatel One Touch 6040A is a pain in the back side. Everyone has had an issue with their wi-fi afterward

So my question is can anyone give a definitive answer on whether the 6040A can be rooted and then moded with any stable ROM's?

Can I pick someone's ear on rooting and installing ROM's for a minute? I'm tech savvy, but this will be my first Android modification and ROOT/ROM process.

Why am I here? I'm trying to root an Alcatel one touch Idol X 6040A and then install the most functional ROM that's higher than the 4.2.1 JB version I already have. AFAIK VROOT is the best option although some people still have issues afterward regarding ROM installations and Network connectivity.

I have yet to find a tutorial specific to the OT 6040A with positive feedback, so I'm very reluctant and hesitant to attempt this until I've done ALL of my homework.

Can someone possibly direct me to definitive ROOTing and ROM installation instructions that have been verified to work?

I see this thread, but it's 600+ posts I have to go through and there are only bits and pieces regarding the 6040A. There isn't a clear answer on this model so please, anyone...lol. Help.

______________________

Some main questions are;

- Does the phone fully function after ROOT? I have read around these forums specifically that 6040A users can not connect to networks after ROOT.

Also if the phone works properly, does it work "better"?

- Are there any fully functional and stable ROMs available to justify the ROOTing the 6040A?

- If something goes wrong or I'm not satisfied with the ROOT, is it possible to revert back to factory settings with no issues?

I have successfully rooted my 6040A using vroot.

Runnning on Telus 4.2.2 stock rom, no problem at all :)

Could you please provide the links for the tools and ROM you used?

This is my first time doing this and everything is so vague regarding this model.

Here is the link for vroot (will auto update after installation) :

The rom i have is the stock one, installed by the alcatel app : http://www.alcatelonetouch.com/glob...CH_IDOLX/otu/mobile-upgrade-s-4-3-0-setup.rar

The important thing is to have to have the adb over usb enabled. you can do this in the dev options in the settings : http://www.technewscentral.co.uk/ho...her-android-4-2android-4-3android-4-4/id_7250

Good luck :)

ps : i once tried a 4.4 rom but the problem was with the band used by my provider (telus). So i go back to 4.2 stock
