[XDA Assist] arindom.samajdar:
Dear Friends,

I am Arindom Samajdar from India. Though I did not have any theoretical learning over android programming, I got a lot of helps & knowledge from XDA Threads on this specially on rooting of android phones. And truly speaking from following the guides of this forum I really rotted my Xperia SP (C5302) successfully about 6 months before and installed CM11 Rom via CWM recovery mode in it.

I was using it flawlessly till 10 days back also. But 10 days before I planned to roll back it to its stock Sony Rom as I was planning to sell it & get a new phone.

But at this time I did not studied mutch & simply started to flash the .tft file of the stock rom which I had prepared long back by the help of Flashtool, when I was rooting my device first. But this time during flashing the file there gone something very wrong and the flashing could not completed over night also & unfortunately during this process battery of my phone drained out & the flashing interrupted. When I checked my phone in morning, I found that it is in switch off condition. When I connected it to charger, first it shows bright green light in its notification light (like it gives while connecting in Flash mode), after 1 or 2 mins it gives Red light with SONY logo in its screen & stayed as it is for another 1 or 2 mins. Then again green light and after some time again red light with SONY logo. And continues this loop. While I tried to switch it on it just vibrate & gives SONY logo on screen, nothing else & after some times goes off.

After several studies over the websites & XDA forums, I understood that there was a error occurred while flashing Kernel. But when I tried to fix it by the methods suggested over the webpages, I got nothing to work for my device as for every process (be it by Flash Tool or by CMD window of windows) the flashing is not being started at all while I am trying to flash the Kernel & after an hour also when I am disconnecting my phone, CMD or Flash tool is showing error of Flash failure & stating it as "Too many Links". I can't understand what this meant to.

My device being connected with PC via Flash Tool both in Flashmode & Fast Boot mode, that means my device is only soft bricked & I am sure that there must be some way to get it back working.

Please help me guys.. :):):)

Hi Friend, Thanks for your reply. But my issue is not with the ftf file. I am having the ftf file. My issue is flashing of the same.

Whenever I am trying to flash the ftf file it does not go beyond "Flashing Data" stage. And when I try to flash only Kernel, it does not starts yet.

**You can begin the following process from

any

Build/ROM but you must already have Root Access**

**Required** FlashFire - Play BETA - PREVIEW

1. Join the G+ community using the same Google account as you're using for Play on your phone/tablet Here.

2. Sign up to receive the BETA versions from Play Here.

- Use the link provided after sign-up to download the app.

Downloads:

- G900P_OD3_Stock_Rooted_ROM

Set your screen timeout setting to 10 mins before beginning!

1. Place the ROM onto your device (use either internal or ext-sdcard).

2. Open the FlashFire app and "Agree" to the Terms and Conditions.

3. Press "(+)" twice to bring up the "Actions" menu.

4. Press "Flash Zip or OTA" and locate and select the ROM. Leave "Auto-mount" unchecked under the "Options" menu and press the checkmark to continue.

5. From the main menu Uncheck all options under "EverRoot" and set "Reboot" setting to *"Download."

6. Press the lightning bolt then "Ok" to begin the **flash.

7. Once the flash is complete and the device reboots into "Download" mode, flash the G900P_OA6_Bootloader using Odin's PDA/AP slot.

*If you are already on the OA6 bootloader, set "Reboot" setting to "Normal" and skip Step 7.

**The screen will turn black then display the contents of your system before beginning the flash. FlashFire will pause for about 1 minute while flashing the "system" partition.

Once complete your device will reboot and pause on the Sprint splash screen for about 1 - 2 minutes before completely rebooting. Done!

Tip: for blazing fast speed turn off animations from Developer Options and reboot!

Known Issues:

- None!

Notes:

1. The above process will not affect your Knox Warranty Flag.

2. The process will update your Modem, Non-hlos, System, Kernel, and Stock Recovery to OD3. The ROM will

not

update your bootloader to OD3 in order to allow downgrading to previous firmware versions.

3. No need to wipe prior to flashing! The ROM will automatically perform a factory data reset.

4. If you do not already have root access (or to unbrick) you must flash the NE5 full Odin .tar using Odin's PDA/AP slot and root with TowelRoot, before continuing with the above process.

5. To learn more about FlashFire's capabilities on locked bootloader devices see here: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=60070810&postcount=2
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] damntuco:
Hi, I'm current at OD3 stock and sim locked. I just wanna ask, if I do this, will I be able to downgrade to 4.4.2 and unlock sim using SSU? Thanks.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] muniz_ri:
Since the ROM will not flash the OD3 bootloader you will be able to downgrade back to 4.4.2, however you will need to Odin flash the OA6 bootloader in order for the ROM to boot. As for sim unlock, I know nothing about how that works on this device.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] damntuco:
Okay, can you check if I understood the process correctly?

1. I'm in stock OD3, not rooted so I need to root my device first. (Is root necessary? and do you know how to root OD3?)

2. Get flashfire app.

3. Copy G900P_OD3_Stock_Rooted_ROM to storage.

4. Flash using flashfire app.

5. Flash G900P_OA6_Bootloader using ODIN.

6. I can now downgrade to stock NE5 using ODIN. (can I use the one from sammobile.com?)

Can you check if I understood the process correctly? Thanks.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] damntuco:
Which one should I flash first? The NE5 rom or the OA6 bootloader? Thanks.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] muniz_ri:
The NE5 .tar then root, then follow the directions. After the rom flash go into download mode and flash the OA6 bootloader.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] damntuco:
What do you mean by root? Install CWM then flash supersu .zip?
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] muniz_ri:
The point of this process is to keep knox (0x0). Twrp will trip the warranty bit so use towelroot. If you do not know what root is I suggest that you first do alot of reading before flashing anything.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] damntuco:
Okay. Let me just clarify if I understood this.

The things that I need:

1. Flashfire

2. G900P_OD3_Stock_Rooted_ROM.zip

3. G900P_OA6_Bootloader.tar.md5

4. SM-G900P_NE5.tar

Process:

1. Flash G900P_OD3_Stock_Rooted_ROM.zip in flashfire.

2. Flash SM-G900P_NE5 .tar in ODIN. What will happen after I boot this?

3. Towelroot

4. G900P_OA6_Bootloader.tar.md5 in ODIN.

Can you check if I understood it right? Thanks.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] etadpole:
Success but I have a question....

I successfully updated to 0d3 using this method. I was wondering if it is possible for me to downgrade if needed to 0A6? I .am rooted using odin and superuser.

Might be a place to start.

Normally this is something you look at before rooting you device so you know how to if you run into problems
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] bash_array:
Go into super su app and choose full unroot
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] MrWicked1:
I second what krelvinaz said, head over to that thread and start back to stock and start fresh
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] DAS3D:
I was going to use the SuperSu to do the Full unroot. If I did that, then installed the current Verizon OTA, could I then re-root using pingpong? Or does this OTA disable the ability to root again? I've read so many posts and articles from various sources, some say yes, some say no. The more I dig the more conflicting info I find.

The only reason I rooted in the first place was to swap out the mixer_paths.xml file. I'm curious if the OTA will wipe that moded file out. But that's probably another discussion.

Thanks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] jboogie555:
I rooted first and a day later took ota. After ota pingpong root just needed to "download data" or whatever then root worked fine.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] DAS3D:
Really? Bummer, mine isn't taking the update. I've tried several times and it just fails after the download and after the reboot to install. Nothing bad happens after that, it just boots up like normal. Then it harasses me again and again to do the update.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] Blad3:
http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=61279830

Easy process
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] MrWicked1:
I think what you are talking about is you were rooted and tried to take the Ota and it wouldn't install correct? If that's the case, yeah you have to unroot or Odin the new version then reboot.

Use the verizon upgrade utility that is on your phone when it's plugged in as an installer. Make sure your battery is charged all the way too.

Thanks a lot for your help!

---------- Post added at 12:12 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:07 AM ----------

That did the trick! Thanks so much. It worked just like it should have. Afterwards I did have to rerun pingpong, but that took about 2 seconds and I'm back to normal now with the update. Thanks a million!

I did that, as I usually do when I sell my phones.... It bricked it and I could reinstall stock.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] sdpluth:
Unrooting options

To summarize the unrooting options:

1. Unroot with SuperSu - By some reports this method does not work

2. Odin stock rom - Wipes the device and data, ?trips knox?

3. Use the Verizon Update Utility - Upgrades the devices to latest OTA

I am on 5.02 Stock (AOC3), rooted, Knox not tripped.

I am really not interested in wiping my device or updating to the latest OTA.

What I want to do is *temporarily* unroot to see if I can get Android Pay working again.

Has anyone had any luck with method 1 above? If android pay and your credit cards are activated/verified while unrooted, can you then re-root and still have Android Pay work?

I really miss using Android Pay... but not enough to lose root!!! ;)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] dobosininja:
If you go into the superuser app and click the enable superuser to turn it off you can activate a card with android pay. You won't lose root this way.

I did that with my bank card and once my card was listed in Android pay I reenabled superuser and everything works fine.

I'm also using root cloaker but I don't know if it's needed.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] sdpluth:
Awesome!!! That was too easy.

Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] sdpluth:
[MENTION=3897252]dobosininja[/MENTION]

Is your android pay still working? I was able to use Android pay for only a short period ~1 day. Now I get the message "This card cannot be used right now" It doesn't matter what card I use or whether SuperSU is enabled. Maybe it is detecting SuperSU itself.

What app / procedure did you use for cloaking? Did it trip your knox?

Thanks!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] dobosininja:
Mine is still showing my card being attached, but I have not used it lately.

I am using root cloak plus, but I can't guarantee it works.

My knox is not tripped since I rooted with ping pong that didn't trip it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] Theodric58:
If I'm correct, the Token needs to refresh from time to time. It may be that that process is detecting the root.

I'd try the Root Cloak he mentioned.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CKJ2015:
Hi there,

I know I can buy a TRRS splitter that has three sockets (2 are audio left and right output which for my purposes are not important), and one would be mono microphone input which I would connect to my external microphone for better quality sound when recording lectures.

But the mic input as far as I know is mainly (possibly only) used for phone calls. I need to know if it is possible for the external microphone to be used in conjunction with the voice memo app that comes loaded on the Samsung galaxy-V phone. If not, is there another similar app that it would work with?

Appreciate any help with this question... Thanks.

[One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iElvis:
The Rom/RUU downloads are updated very inconsistently. Often new versions are never posted at all. A lot has to do with the carriers, who don't always seem to give HTC their files or don't want RUUs posted at all (note the disclaimer about Verizon).

HTC is only required to make the kernel source available. Everything else is a courtesy.
