[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] The~Skater~187:
This may be a dumb question but, if I want to flash just the OD3 modem, do I put it in the AP or CP slot in Odin?

It's been so long since I did just a modem that I forgot. Thanks in advance
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] tdunham:
The CP slot I believe.

You can try but I haven't been able to update just the modem. It flashes fine but the modem just doesn't seem to take.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] The~Skater~187:
Thanks, that's what I thought.

I've been trying it as well. With the same results. That's why I thought I may have been doing it wrong.

[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] tdunham:
Just for reference, modems have to be flashed when odin is entered from a powered off state.

I am on the OA6 firmware but I thought I'd try the OD3 modem at least.

Didn't work for me, sigh...
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] The~Skater~187:
Same steps it took.

Power off phone.

Boot into download mode

Flash OD3.modem.tar.md5 (with auto reset disabled)

Once flash was completed, pulled battery

Tried into Odin, flashed again (for good measure using same settings as above)

Pulled battery once completed

Rebooted phone

Still on OA6 modem

Not sure if this helps at all but I was on this ROM. Everything flashed great. I was OD3 everything. Then I flashed the modem.tar for OD3 and it reverted firmware and baseband I believe back to OA6. Maybe its not the ROM but the modem.tar?
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] The~Skater~187:
I wonder if they may have made the modem reliant on the corresponding bootloader?

Is that possible?

I'm going to try flashing back to touchwiz before using Odin. See if that makes any difference.

Edit: no such luck. It just won't stick.

[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] tdunham:
Umm, are you downloading the tar.md5 from my site? Not sure exactly how I did it but I think I used the OA6 files to create the OD3 modem. Oops :rolleyes:
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] tdunham:
Just bizarre stuff. I'm not even sure if there are any changes to the OD3 modem vs. OA6. They are the same exact file size down to the last byte. Only the dates have changed.

Anyway, I have recreated the .tar.md5 and the allfiles.zip and they are reuploading to my hosted site now.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] The~Skater~187:
I downloaded it from the link in the op (androidfilehosting, I believe). I'll try again in the morning.

[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] The~Skater~187:
So....... The anticipation got the best of me and I downloaded the new copy and flashed it tonight. I'm now successfully rocking the OD3 modem, on OA6 bootloader. Thanks for all your help.

Is it just me or is the 'system update' missing in settings? I did find 'software updates' in the 'about device' but noticed the prl update, profile update, and uicc unlock are missing.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Danster840:
We discovered using a different rom called metal rom that this is a csc/build prop edit issue. Our developer discovered it when an update to his rom lost system update.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] rlmiller:
Thanks [MENTION=1042140]tdunham[/MENTION] You always come through with the latest greatest in a flashable......now we have best of two worlds,... tar and zip
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] metalfan78:
Yea, I was messing around in system/csc/feature.xml. At the bottom under Sprint feature flags I changed enablesprintextension to false. After I changed it back to true the options came back.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] suarezn:
Sorry if this has been answered...Not sure what I'm doing wrong. So I have Philz Touch 6.57.8 installed as a recovery. I'm on OA6, which I had flashed a while back when I flashed MOAR. Anyhow I downloaded the file from post 1, wiped everything, and installed...now when I try to reboot it says "ROM may flash stock recovery on boot" and then I get the option to "Disable Recovery Flash"...whether I answer Yes or No it always just boots back into recovery. What am I missing? Any ideas?

I should have to do anything with ODIN at this point since I already have the recovery and OA6 right?

Thanks in advance.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] tdunham:
I think that's an option with Philz and I don't recall what the correct answer is to that one. You might try twrp custom recovery. And if it still doesn't work, you might have to wipe out the internal SD too but backup what you need first.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] suarezn:
So I've switched over to TWRP, so I'm not getting the message about stock recovery anymore. Re-installed OA6 to make sure. Installed the ROM and have tried to let it go for a while...I can't get it to get past the Samsung Galaxy S5 splash screen. I'm reluctant to move to OD3 as I've read horror stories of not being able to go back after that.

Any ideas?
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] SirMoby:
I have been having the issue of being stuck at the splash screen as well! I'm coming from VM 12, I made sure to wipe wipe wipe, flash goes to splash screen for 20 seconds or so then back into recovery? Please help
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] rlmiller:
[MENTION=4518791]SirMoby[/MENTION]

Just curious... Which BOOTLOADER are you on???

REMEMBER [MENTION=1042140]tdunham[/MENTION] quote

"Important Note:

This rom will not run unless you're already running a Lollipop bootloader!

This rom WILL run on both the OA6 and OD3 firmwares."​

Coming from CM12...you should always FORMAT internal card. As I understand, CM partitions the cards differently.

So wipe dalvik cache, cache, factory reset, format "Internal" SD. That should get you going
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Son Rise:
Will this rom have features later on in the future? 3mintbatter mod. Rom control etc
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Ramondel:
Have you looked at the title of this forum "Stock ROM".
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] elpesao23:
hi i did the sim unlock using this bto001 : Solution to Sim unlock OD3 with no downgrade Bootloader,i would like to know if i flash this rom,do i lose the sim unlock,thanks
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] SirMoby:
Unless I am incorrect in my thinking (very possible lol) I thought vinmans was based on OA6!? And I do not do the format internal card I guess we could always try that
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] suarezn:
Update: I was able to get it to load. I went back and started from scratch wiping everything and re-loading everything for OA6 (Bootloader, modem, kernel). My issue now is that I loaded this ROM with the intent of seeing if I could use xposed, now that they say they have a working version for Touchwiz. I haven't had much luck with that. After installing the Lollipop xposed installer and flashing different versions of Arter97's zip files I got it to sort of work, but it was force closing a lot and phone freezing, etc. I just need a few xposed things to work (Per App DPI Settings, Wanam toolkit, etc) and it's the reason I haven't moved to Lollipop. Was hopeful, but apparently we're just not there yet.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Robbie Doo:
Does anyone know if the 5-way-boot for AO6 will work on this one?
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] jprow507:
Are there any plans for developing any add ons for this like the extra toggles from OA6 or will those adds from your OA6 thread work for this?
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] tdunham:
There are plenty of Play Store reboot widgets available that do this.

This app will do that

[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] tdunham:
And no, OA6 mods will not work with this version and I don't plan on releasing anything else for it.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] eloko:
does this modem works if I upgrade it from ne5?
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] tdunham:
The modem has nothing to do with the rom.

This rom cannot run on NE5 firmware. Read the OP.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] eloko:
Is been long time since i was here... I remember having NE5 Rom with OA6 modem, but not quite sure how I did it. So i was thinking on same thing but with OD3 modem.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] tdunham:
You could try the modem on ne5 I suppose.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Does_It_Matter:
Quick question - have searched a bunch of forum posts and Sprint forums and can't figure this one out.

Did Sprint disable Wi-Fi calling in OD3? I cannot find any way to enable it - even added the toggle and it won't show up.

-----------------------

Edit - figured it out - got Wi-Fi calling working for OD3
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] ronimus:
Keep lost Root Access

I have lost Root access and have tried to re-root and it is not working. Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks,
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Does_It_Matter:
Wipe and re-install

OR

You could try a dirty flash and get root back that way but if you've deleted stuff, you'll have to re-delete

Dirty flash should almost always work as long as it is the exact same ROM

However -- if you have damaged config files that don't get over-written - there is a chance (small)

that this will not work and you will just have to factory wipe and re-install the ROM again
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] ronimus:
Thanks. ..I found the issue. It was related to Supersu. I had uninstalled it and reinstalled it, which caused issues. It is fixed now.

Thanks again.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] zemeldog:
Please share how you did it. Thanks.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Does_It_Matter:
Use Root Explorer (or some other file manager)

Go into /system/csc

Edit feature.xml

Near the bottom - make sure you have these lines:

<!-- SPR Feature Flags -->

<CscFeature_Common_SupportTriband>true</CscFeature_Common_SupportTriband>

<CscFeature_Common_EnableSprintExtension>true</CscFeature_Common_EnableSprintExtension>

<CscFeature_Common_EnableItsOn>false</CscFeature_Common_EnableItsOn>

<CscFeature_Common_Sprint_Vowifi>true</CscFeature_Common_Sprint_Vowifi>

</FeatureSet>

I looked at the OA6 Wi-Fi calling enable posted in another thread.

I left EnableItsOn to false (this is supposedly for Pay as you go and useless if you are on a plan)

Save changes, reboot - should have Wi-Fi calling

BTW -- DO NOT flash the OA6 Enable WifiCalling & Extra Toggles zip from the OA6 thread.

Others have stated don't do it and I tried just copying the feature.xml file manually -- BAD IDEA

Your phone will get messed up and you will have to wipe/re-flash the OD3 firmware.

---------- Post added at 12:07 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:49 AM ----------

BTW - if you want to add some toggles to the notification area - this procedure still works in OD3

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2721550

DO NOT add WiFiCalling toggle -- your System UI will constantly FC (I know!)

Safe toggles to add:

MobileData

WiFiHotspot

Maybe some others -- but that is up to you to test and possibly cause issues -- the 2 above work fine in OD3

The spelling is CASE SENSITIVE so don't typo.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] joecool722:
Ok, so I apologize in advance for the noob question.

I'm on NK4 stock rom rooted with Philz recovery.

Whats the best way to move to OD3? Can I just update the recovery to one of the new TWRP ones and then flash this ROM? Will I need to update the kernel/modem manually or is that included in the ROM update?

Thanks!

JoeCool722
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] zemeldog:
Worked like a charm, thanks.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Does_It_Matter:
No...

Lot more effort

Backup what you want because going to Lollipop will change your storage a bit and you will lose everything on the internal SD

You want to backup all your stuff to your external SD card before flashing to Lollipop

You want to read up on the OA6 Odin firmware and flash that first.

Once you Odin Flash OA6, you can then flash a custom recovery, then you can flash this OD3, and then finally flash the OD3 modem firmware (because this comes with OA6 modem)

If you're asking this type of question - you really need to read up more of the forum posts and get a clear idea of what you will be doing.

Otherwise you may do steps in the wrong order and possibly brick your phone.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] joecool722:
I didn't realize going to Lollipop, I'd have to go to OA6 first and then to OD3.

I've actually done this a number of times, but I forget the step by step procedure. I had a feeling going to Lollipop was going to be a bit more complicated due the the new version of android.

I use Titanium backup so I'll make sure everything is backed up from internal SD before upgrading (I generally do this anyway as it seems to make the process smoother).

Thanks for the info.

Also, I have a UICC unlock so I can swap SIM cards when I have to internationally travel every now and then. Do you know if that will keep unlocked through the upgrade?

Thanks,

JoeCool722
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Does_It_Matter:
You might lose the unlock - I can't answer that because I don't travel internationally and never bothered trying to do the unlock thing - maybe some other member can chime in on this.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] piscesjoey:
Hey [MENTION=1042140]tdunham[/MENTION] will this ROM run on the OF6 firmware? I'm wanting to flash this mainly to have the insecure stock kernel for init.d scripts, or better yet is there an insecure stock kernel available based on OF6?
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] bob_ross:
This may be a stupid question but am I suppose to rename the zip file to tar? Odin won't let me flash a zip...?
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] whbisondtr:
Extract the tar from the zip first
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] bob_ross:
When I extract from the zip its just a bunch of raw files, no tar...?
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] tdunham:
The only rom that comes as a tar is the factory load.

You cannot flash a modified rom with odin, at least that is what I'm guessing you're trying...
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] vq35power:
I'm on OA6 and love this rom. Everything worked out of the box perfectly. The hotspot functionality is there but recently noticed i cannot change the max connections. Used Galaxy Tools to set max to 10, reboot then I can see I have the option in hotspot config. But it shows 1 max and whenever i change it to anything, it doesn't stick and rolls back and never allows more than 1 device to connect. Any thoughts??

[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] mackaby007:
Guys/Gals....

I might be slow to know about this, so I figured some others here might be too.:) No disrespect intended, but I watched a program this weekend 'The Real Hustle' on British TV. It explored a serious vulnerability in the Bluetooth technology.

Apparently there exists software which can be installed on O/S based Mobile phones/PPC's that allow its user to scan for BT devices i.e. in busy areas like train stations etc.

They can then hijack your phone..'Without Your Knowledge'!! They can then use your available credit/contract minutes, to make calls to a purpose made premium number @ £1.50 per minute....all without leaving a trace on your phone!

You won't know until you get your whopping bill and will have no way out of paying for it, as calls will have registered as having been made from your phone!

Bottom line for Athena users with BT earpieces and other people too. ONLY switch your BT on when you are going to use it and be sure to switch it right back off when you're finished.

The program did not reveal whether this was possible if the devices/BT mode was set to invisible, but that is something I intend to find out.

Scary eh?

P.S. Something like this happened to a relative of mine only last week as his BT is always on (for phone calls). Just thought I'd share my concerns with you. Sorry if its old news already.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] Digital.Diablo:
Yup, old news I'm afriad. The Ameo AFAIK and can test, seems to have a fairly sturdy bluetooth stack, as do most phones from the last 18months - 2years. But it is quite surprising how many phones are vulnerable to various bluetooth exploits. I have found that its not impossible to crash the BT stack, but its not trivial, and doesn't really seem to do too much damage, apart from requiring a restart of the BT module. Unlike my old T68 which locks up tighter than a locked up tight thing, gives out my contacts and calendar, make calls e.t.c. :)

Oh, and I generally leave the BT off on the Ameo because its such a battery drain.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] mackaby007:
Thanks for that Diablo. So what you are saying is that newer devices (like our) with newer BT stacks are NOT vulnerable to these attacks? Only the older types of mobile phones?
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] cornelius:
Is the hidden option didn't make any difference?
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] Calavaro:
I have tested a couple of "available" software.

Generally it is quite trivial to establish a connection with older mobiles phones. SonyEricssons seem to be particularly vulnerable.

I haven't been able to successfully intercept the Athena though. Although I have many shortcomings in my very limited abilities... I'm sure a dedicated person would be able to intercept and <do whatever> given enough time.

Normally it should be enough to enable "Beam authentication" and uncheck "Make this device visible to other devices".
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] Digital.Diablo:
I wouldn't go as far as to say they're invulnerable, however they're stronger than other targets. Bluetooth in itself is quite basic in its security mechanisms, but Ameo stands up well to attack. As mentioned, its possible to crash the stack, but this doesn't bring any benefit to the attacker, apart from the knowledge that they've been able to do that. I suppose it could be used as a buffer overflow exploit, but with so few devices around, its probably not worth the effort to try.

One thing TO be aware of though is that when pairing a device, its possible for a 3rd party to grab the keys off the air, and then you can impersonate a bluetooth device. So if someone were to capture a key pairing between a mobile and a laptop for the laptop to be able to make internet connections via the phone, then you could impersonate the laptop to make these calls. But this is fairly unlikely if the phones are already paired. However, the cool thing is, if you've got a vulnerable phone, you can make it loose the pair key, when Mr End User resync's the phone, snap it out of the air and do naughty things. I work in Network Security so I try and experiment with these things for the good of our staff, and bluetooth hacking is one of the cooler things IMO.

Oh, another cool point is that people think bluetooth is 10m or 100m radius. Some researchers have managed to send a bluetooth message about 3km (I think).

And finally, the other thing you can do to really bug someone is repeatedly make bluetooth requests to their phone for 'services available'. Most phones will provide this without pairing, and in doing so, it can generally cause the power consumption to increase. Once again, I killed my T68 with this technique in about 2hrs from full charge, as each time it made the request, the screen redrew, the backlight and key led's came on and I suspect the radio power draw increased.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] Midget_1990:
WM5 and espicially 6 are practically safe :)
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] mackaby007:
Done a bit of research on this now and coupled with your feedback guys, I feel Athena owners are pretty safe from random attacks. Thanks a bunch for putting my mind at ease...I will however remain cautious in public areas and turn my bluetooth off if I am spending a considerable amount of time there.;)
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] bydandie:
The fact is that the only way this vulnerability works is by exploiting the Symbian Bluetooth stack for now. Conversely, WM is one of the more secure O/S's out there at present. WM6 is even more so. There's a lot of snakeoil within the industry, although with the Ameo, I would look into getting AV if you plan on doing a lot of downloading off the web. Yes, there is no serious malware for the WM platform, but the device can still be a carrier for the host Windows systems. As HSDPA becomes more widespread, the benefits fo attacking these platforms becomes greater; it's not there yet but will become an issue.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] c0rnholio:
It should* be enough to disable visibility. If need BT for your headset but care about battery drain just enable powersafe mode for the audio gateway in the registry.

I'm running bluetooth all the time on my ameo. I'm around a lot on public areas like train stations and airports and every now and then I'm using btCrawler to scan for other devices just to see how many are in visibile mode.

So the best practicefor using bluetooth (on laptops, handhelds or whatever) is:

- Turn off visibility

- Use encryption AND authentication for every connection

- Don't accept messages or transfers from unknown devices

- Don't use easy PINs like 0000 or 1234

- Use different PINs for every connection

If you follow the above, using bluetooth should* be safe

* Should, because if an attacker knows your device address, he's still able to try to attack you directly. There is an interesting article by Max Moser about using the expensive (but excellent) Bluetooth Diagnostic Tool from Fronline (FTS4BT) with a normal inexpensive bluetooth dongle. Using this you are able to sniff bluetooth connections by following the hopping sequence. You can sniff audio connections, data transfers, etc. If no encryption is enabled everthing is tranfered in plaintext. However it is still possible to decrypt encrypted BT traffic if you are able to sniff the pairing process. If you have successfully sniffed the whole pairing process you can extract the link key and PIN with btcrack and then use the frontline sniffer to decrypt the traffic.
