Do you have the flashable oc5 kernel? Because you are downgrading to ng3 to get into safestrap then flash the rom . Then you need to flash the oc5 kernel back .

---------- Post added at 07:38 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:09 PM ----------

That stock rom doesn't have the kernel. And thus you need the kernel back to upgrade u back up to run the 0c5 rom
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] brownboy6184:
G870A_OC5_Stock_KERNEL_Recovery.zip is this the oc5 Kernel you mean and the NG3 Kernel I need to flash first I don't have the one on this thread is md5 and your say I need to flash the NG3 kernel or do you mean the NG3 FLASHER ?

---------- Post added at 01:36 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:20 AM ----------

U have oc5zip and NG3 flasher but no NG3.zip
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] captivated1971:
Ng3 flasher has kernel built in it downgrades you. And yes oc5 kernel recovery zip . Is what you flash last to upgrade your kernel back so the oc5 rom will run and not bootloop

---------- Post added at 08:44 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:41 PM ----------

Ng3 flasher flashes the ng3 kernel to get you into safestrap so you can flash what rom you want . Then still in safestrap you flash the oc5 kernel .zip to upgrade back up so ur rom will run but it has to be a lollipop rom.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] brownboy6184:
weirld because that is the file i have been trying to flash in safestrap after NG3 flasher boots me into ss when i tap the install but it says fail it wont let flash it in safestrap i alos backed up and made nandroid and wiped and restored then flashed the oc5 kernal. i cant firgure out what i am doing wrong! i almost possitive i have followed alll the steps. But everyd time i try reboot to system it shows custom lock and then goes black i have to pulll battery and boot with odin, thatnk you again for the help!

Have you tried download mode and flashed the oc5 kernel that way?

---------- Post added at 11:21 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:14 PM ----------

Hmm if you have a lollipop rim installed the oc5 kernel should fix it by Odin. Otherwise you may have to Odin all the way back to 4.2 or 4.4 or whatever. It's a pain and a long process maybe [MENTION=2504548]Muniz[/MENTION]ri can offer a suggestion.

Your bootloader is messed up then. You have to flash one with a boot loader.

i just wanna make sure i do this right? i should downgrade back down go NE4 4.4.2 root with towelroot use flash fire to flash me into 5.0 instal safestrap instal and load NG3 flasher, make back up , restore backup flash oc5 zip file and boot into phone with ss? am i missing any thing?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] captivated1971:
No need to backup or restore . Until you get 5.0 running then you can install safestrap and ng3 flasher then make a backup . Don't restore that unless something messes you up while running 5.0 then flash 0c5 kernel zip and you should be good.

---------- Post added at 11:58 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:55 AM ----------

The only reason you should need ng3 flasher is if you gna flash something else to the rom .it downgrades you to be able to enter safestrap. Otherwise you can use flash fire for all that too

---------- Post added at 12:01 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:58 AM ----------

Once you get 5.0 running and if you use flash fire to flash nething and you get a bootloop or nething worse you can always Odin the ng3 kernel and get back into safest rap recovery without having to redo the whole process over again

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

That is the reason this ng3 flasher was made . Was to be able to have some kinda recovery.

Nope no steps missed
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] brownboy6184:
!It worked thank you so much! I downgraded just as you told me to back down to NE4 then rooted, after that i used flashfire to update to 5.0 and BAM it worked just like it was supose to! your help was very much appreciated and nice work on getting safestrap to work on the s5 active i know that couldnt have been to easy

Not to sound daft, but after you flash the OC5 kernel again, you lose access to SS, correct? Just want to verify that what I am seeing is correct. Thanks!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] captivated1971:
Correct but it is still there that is why you flash the ng3 kernal back again to access ss. To do flashing then back to oc5 to reboot lolli

---------- Post added at 09:30 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:28 PM ----------

This is just a failsafe so you dont have to redo the whole rooting process over again if something your flashing borks your rom all you have to do is odin the ng3 kernal and reboot to ss again. To reinstall the backup you should have made if you didnt lol.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] LegoWerd:
Sorry for the late reply but I followed your question from muniz_ri's g870a of3 root thread looking for answers to how to setup a recovery on the galaxy s5 active in order to make a nandroid backup. I'm new to the forum but have rooted more then once, still trying to figure things out. :what:

1. Is safestrap the only recovery available for the Galaxy S5 Active (g870a) on lollipop OF3 or can CWM or TWRP be installed now as of December 18th, 2015?

I realize the bootloader is locked which leads me to believe safestrap is the only way but unsure if anything has changed.

2. If safestrap is the only recovery does it allow to make nandroid backup? (Main reason I want to install a recovery)

Answered this question myself.

3. Can xposed be installed on g870a using muniz_ri G870A_OF3_Stock_Rooted_Deodexed_ROM or would I need different ROM & if so can someone point me to the exact xposed setup files needed?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] jfalls63:
TWRP is part of Safestrap. If you follow instructions completely you shouldn't have a problem. My active is now one of my backup phones having found something I like better. I made a backup with Safestrap and used the backup option in Flashfire also. Luckily I have never had to restore from a backup yet. The locked bootloader complicates things.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] LegoWerd:
Thanks for clearing up my first question Jfalls, I'm still just a little confused on some of the OP's instructions.

I'm currently on G870A 5.0 (OF3) with root. BusyBox is installed, SafeStrap apk is installed but I haven't installed the recovery just yet, the NG3 Flasher is installed but haven't ran it yet, I've downloaded the Flashable OC5 Kernel but haven't done anything with it yet. The next step would be too load the NG3 Flasher but I haven't gotten that far just yet.

I'm confused with what I'd be flashing exactly with; Odin, FlashFire, or SafeStrap? What ROM would I be flashing exactly, muniz_ri deodexed ROM? Also it says to restore my backup but I don't have a backup to restore from?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] jfalls63:
It's been a while but if I remember correctly Safestrap can only be used with the NG3 kernel. You use the NG3 flash tool to get you there and do what you to do with Safestrap, make nandroid backup or other. Then use Flashfire to flash back to the OC5 kernel for normal operation. The Odin tar files is for when you totally bork your phone and have to flash to unbrick and need access to Safestrap to hopefully restore the backup that you hopefully saved to SD card. Complicated and I have never had to do it. Put tar files in safe place on PC. Keep your fingers crossed that someone with more experience than I will read this and can explain it better. Safestrap is not like traditional TWRP that you can boot to from off. Gotta do the kernel swap to make it work then flash back to make phone work normal.

---------- Post added at 04:58 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:53 AM ----------

Safestrap also lets you flash limited custom Roms on rom slots created by a partition. As far as I know, no custom Roms available for g870a
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] captivated1971:
Tms 3.0 is a custom rom. For 870a and once you update to 5.0 lollipop you use ng3 flasher to get into safestrap and do what ya gta do then flash oc5 kernal to boot back to lollipop. Using ss
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] micror:
Hi.

I am new to Android and am looking to solve a problem.

I want to create an Android app that has a login and that you can send messages back and forth with the people who use that app. Similar to the Facebook Messenger App. Also similar to Facebook, I want to users to be able to log in via a web-app in their browsers and view/exchange messages.

My idea was MySQL as the database that stores all of this information. The website will then be made with a PHP framework to access that MySQL data and similarly, I was thinking the Android App would read/write to that same MySQL Database.

I already proto-typed this and was able to create an android app that posts data to a process.php file I have sitting on a web server which then queries the MySQL database, and returns a JSON object back to the Android App for consumption. I followed this guide from Stack Overflow to accomplish this and it worked good. I also searched these forums and found this: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2325799 which seems to sort of do things the same way.

My question is:

1) Is this the right way to do things for an app I want to scale to 10,000 users? I want to ask the more experienced developers if this is how they would go about creating such an app. Is there a better way besides what I described? I am a noobie so this was the best way I could come up with from searching the internet.

Much Love,

MicroR

Hey i got a s2 plus GT i1905, and i've been looking for unlocking methods for days (not that i'm dumb :D) but its kind of special with that phone :

I've succefully done the root new method (no odin required) and i started with the galaxy S unlock (i got an unexplained error : error, not saved) and the other app from spocky who said "no unlocking method for that device".

Then I thought that i could do it manually, with the SERVICE MODE, but after DEBUG SCREEN, phone control is on position "7" and not "8" as all people are saying, AND "simulation" is leading to a "sw watchdog" that doesn"t help at all.

Therefore, i'm just in the same case as you. If you want any help on those methods maybe those could work for you.

[G 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DRS2442:
Hi everyone,

So my issue is one that I don't see anywhere else, hence this thread. I'm not entirely sure if it's a hardware or software issue, and I'd like your help/suggestions (pls)

If I boot the phone via "normal startup" or whatever it is from fastboot mode, it boots. However, after I get into the OS, if I press the power key to take the screen off, and I press it again to turn it back on, it doesn't turn back on. The phone still operates - it receives calls, I hear all sounds, I can even tap by memory to get to different settings, but the screen won't turn on at all until I boot into fastboot and reselect the normal startup option.

I tried enabling tap to wake via custom kernel, reassigning the volume keys to turn it on, but it simply doesn't work. I get the same issue if I double tap to sleep (the top bar) and then double tap to wake. I don't know what else to try - any suggestions?

I'm wholly ready to just call it a loss (I already have a new Moto G) but it would be cool if I could somehow revive this one. The reason I decided not to use the warranty is because I was pretty sure it had already been voided since my mother dropped it in water. As I said, this may be a hardware issue, but I'm not entirely sure and I'd like your opinions/suggestions?

For reference, it had this issue while on stock as well. It ran the latest update Motorola had sent out. It's the XT1063.

Thanks in advance!

Small update, I have a semi-useless phone for a few days, waiting on AT&T to send me a new one. Mine currently will only get a signal about 25%-50% of the time. I also have some stuff planned with my daughter this weekend, so I probably won't be doing much until I get my new phone and put it through the paces. I had to put stock back on my current S6, and am lazy and don't feel like flashing my ROM back on just to flash stock in a few days :). I'll still be around and I'll look into some of the things you guys brought to my attention though.
