Root SM-G800H/DS - Perfect !!!

I registered in the Russian site, downloaded the kernel and other files and did root following the Russian site of the procedure.

SuperUser working perfect in the SM-G800H/DS with Lollipop 5.1.1. :laugh:

Good luck everyone! :good:
[Galaxy S5 Mini General] zemiguel:
Did you have problem with RAM? In my SM-G800H/DS i install android 5.1.1, now show me 1G of ram but must be 1,5G.

How did you do the installation? falcaobr

Yeah i want them too :)
[Galaxy S5 Mini General] falcaobr:
Yes, it was with 1GB of RAM, but that is not brought me any problem.

As for installation, follow the steps in the post of Russian site mentioned here:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=63270697&postcount=65

Required Files (Not need to download Russian website):

https://www.dropbox.com/s/wjpsa77tceastir/Root_SM_G800H_DS_511_Required%20Files.zip?dl=0

Installation sequence:

1) Enter the download mode and install firmware 5.1.1 through Odin. To reboot and enter the Lollipop everything is working;

2) Again in download mode, install the modified kernel (Kernel.tar) via Odin (use AP or PDA, depending on the version of Odin) and reboot;

3) Again in download mode, install TWRP via Odin and reboot;

4) Save "BETA-SuperSU-v2.50.zip" to SDCARD (internal or external);

5) Reboot into Recovery mode (TWRP) and install "BETA-SuperSU-v2.50.zip";

6) Restart and will be with root.

Note: Those who do not allow write to the SDCARD with Lollipop 5.1.1, install the program " FolderMount" after root and run the first time he will ask to start and fix this problem.

Note: all the credits for Blue Cat (Russian website) and Friiiiiii who posted here on the Xda.

good luck guys :good:

I would advice carefulness with installation of modified kernel from unknown Russian site. You don't know what modification have been done beside enabling root mode. Unless someone will make a security audit.

Root

Its root to the SM-G800H with the official 5.1.1 rom?
[Galaxy S5 Mini General] falcaobr:
Yes, but the kernel was modified, as explained above.

Root working smoothly.
[Galaxy S5 Mini General] mielletseed:
To the memory size again: mine is showing now 1028 (sic!) MB (not 1024). Is it only the "russian" kernel for rooting or the stock kernel to? Could please someone without root check the ram size?
[Galaxy S5 Mini General] RushPL:
Stock ROM, no root. "Memory usage" app shows 1028MB of total RAM.
[Galaxy S5 Mini General] BBF-Android:
iam waiting ............
[Galaxy S5 Mini General] falcaobr:
1GB came Official ROM. The kernel has nothing to do with it , just kept .

With the modified kernel , not only the root, but everything is working perfectly fine! :good:
[Galaxy S5 Mini General] drnag:
What happened to the 0.5GB RAM. why downgrade!
[Galaxy S5 Mini General] mielletseed:
The kernel manages the hardware (simplified spoken) so it's a kernel problem in my opinion. But it's already in samsung's stock kernel. Propably the russian kernel has only a modified ram disk to set SELinux to permissive ...
[Galaxy S5 Mini General] falcaobr:
That's right, until you come out the correction, I will using 1GB.

People,

The Russian version of android 5.1.1 is for sm-g800h. The official version for sm-g800/DS/F/YS/HQ it was not released, has you can see in this website:

http://samsung.youmobile.org/

So... for versions sm-g800/ds/F/YS/HQ we have to wait. :(
[Galaxy S5 Mini General] falcaobr:
It is for SM-G800H or SM-G800H/DS, whatever, the version is the same.

"/DS" is because it is Dual SIM.

see the SamMobile:

http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/SM-G800H/
[Galaxy S5 Mini General] mielletseed:
I don't understand, what's the news in your post? I believe everyone here knows that there are different hardware variants of the Samsung phones and that one only can install the software for that variant.
[Galaxy S5 Mini General] RGold55:
I say let's post more reliable info, based primarily on knowledge and real world testings.

For instance, my G800H Dual Sim has been working perfectly OK for a whole week long with no RIL issues, no memory card issues, no language issues, no restarts, scoring 23000+ at Antutu, no glitches at all. For real.

Cheers

EDIT: "scoring 20600+ at Antutu". The original "23000+" figure relates to my Moto G 2015. Sorry.
[Galaxy S5 Mini General] zemiguel:
RGold55 falcaobr,

Based in the website samsung.youmobile.org, that show Galaxy S5 mini DUOS G800H and Galaxy S5 mini DUOS G800DS, so i presume that is more than a version of dual sim for S5 mini.

For what i see here the problem of RAM, it happens in Galaxy S5 mini DUOS G800DS and the official version is in test.

So couldn't those version have a big difference of firmware? If is no difference why they show so different firmwares...

Enlighten me in this case.
[Galaxy S5 Mini General] abpositive:
Mine is without root and running 5.1.1 (India). This one also shows 1 GB of RAM.

.35 GB Loss!!
[Galaxy S5 Mini General] mielletseed:
I had a similar effect on a former device (Samsung Galaxy S2). When they moved to a new graphic driver (mali gpu when I remember correctly) the shown RAM significantly decreased.
[Galaxy S5 Mini General] Dr. Hurt:
Same here. And that's why we have 200mb of free RAM vs 500-600mb in KitKat.

Did anyone here (from Russia or India) receive this update OTA? Do you have the same problem?!
[Galaxy S5 Mini General] RGold55:
I'd rather believe my eyes than a Samsung site maintained by some John Doe, when looking at my SM-G800H Duos (or /DS, it's all the same thing) -- the one with no LTE, 3G only -- and seeing it running perfectly well the official Samsung version known as the "Russian" version. As a matter of fact, the "XX" part of "G800HXXU1BOI2" means it's region indifferent when it comes to PDA compatibility. Of course no one is expected to take my word on it.

As for a doubt of mine, I guess there's no explanation for the reason why should an official Samsung site publish S5 Mini specs illustrated by an S6 image (see attached image) instead of the real thing. But it does. Go figure... It seems John Doe has been very busy lately.

Cheers
[Galaxy S5 Mini General] Carlos.Andres:
Any solutions on the ram problem? What should I do when this occurs to me?
[Galaxy S5 Mini General] abpositive:
Thanks for this info. Probably your point is valid.

Genuinely I feel that,though free RAM is shown less, performance has increased. Its smoother and more stable than before.

Additionally the GPS problem, which most of the S5 mini users were facing also looks resolved up to an extend. Though not the best GPS companion, GPS fix in my mini is now much faster and I am at least able to use it for navigation. In previous firmware, I was never able to do that.

Dual SIM not working on making calls

Hello everyone,

I did the upgrade through ODIN e and the Russian firmware.

The G800H did complete the boot, updated all apps (225) and everything went fine.

I did not notice until today that the second SIM is not making calls, the phone reboots (three times tried, three times it rebooted).

I am receiving calls fine from both SIMs, but making calls only with SIM1.

Does anybody has same behavior?

Thanks.
[Galaxy S5 Mini General] RushPL:

Does anyone on Lollipop have have the full 1.35GB of RAM? Anyone from Russia or India got the OTA?

I wonder if Samsung is intentionally crippling phones with each update to push hardware sales.

S6 mini and the S7 are on the way.

Drivers no longer *need* to reserve RAM since the switch from PMEM to ION (dynamic allocation when needed). That was introduced with Linux 3.4 and Kitkat.
[Galaxy S5 Mini General] mielletseed:
The intentionally crippling could be. Mine is very laggy now with 5.1.1 (is there a way back?)

I eagerly wait for CM12.1 / CM13 ...

[Galaxy S5 Mini General] mielletseed:
Thank you! I know that site but I was not sure whether downgrade is possible or not. For some Samsung devices the bootloader wouldn't allow a downgrade to an earlier version. But maybe I will try due to the laggyness of the system :(

I'm absolutely sure the G800F will not get the update this year. It doesn't matter how many tech related websites state that it comes in Q2, it comes in Q3, 100% it comes in october.

According to YouMobile, the rom is ready, but not released yet (pending). I don't know what Samsung is waiting for, playing with the customers' nerves.

Look, for me is great. Everything works.

I had problem with mirroring for Smart TV not connected, but I put a line in the build prop and was 100%.

The line is this:

wlan.wfd.hdcp = disable

- Root with SuperUser OK

- 2 SIMs (Making and Receiving Calls) OK

- Messaging OK

- Sensors (Light, Orientation, Compass, Proximity, Acceleration) OK

- Audio OK

- Bluetooth OK

- WIFI OK

- GPS OK

- Front Camera OK

- Rear Camera OK

- Filming movies OK

- Flash Light OK

But with 1GB RAM, nothing bothers me, everything is working.

All applications run well, smooth, not seen slowly.

ROM 100% for day to day.

I expect a custom ROM only because I like dark themes for everything.

This would not be with this forever.

I'm not a developer, but I'm thinking of doing a custom ROM, if any, put here for everyone.

I am not sure it's true, it would be grate if more people with 800h could install and test it. This is the most recent Stock Lollipop build, less bloated as well.

If it doesn't contain your language (Portuguese, for instance) it was said that if you flash it over another stock Lollipop then it would keep the language files.

i recently bought a ASUS ZENFONE 2 ZE551ML when i unboxed the phone i see that it had some 50% battery,when i started setting up my account, at 45% it switched off , to switch it on again i had to plug it into charger for a while and then using it back . again at some x % it got dead.

Hey guys. I have this mobile and im so pissed right now. Its so laggy and slow. Even though its octa core but performance wise it look like dual core. Do you guys also have the same lagg issue ? Please tell me your experience and share some tips.

thanks.
[HTC Desire 616] samrat_castle:
Its a bit laggy sometimes, especially if you have too many apps/games installed or have installed a 3rd party launcher/shell. Best way to speed up is to root, remove bloatware and install a custom rom. I am currently using CYAN rom by v_singh (find in Desire 616 Development), its pretty fast with Nova Launcher.
[HTC Desire 616] waqas409:
Thank you so much for the reply, i thought this forum is dead now, anyways can you please tell me or give me a link to root and change the rom because i havent done this before, another thing, is it safe to root( as if i sell this in the market someday) will the new root effects the price or anything like that?

PS: you talked about the Nova launcher, believe me if i installed any launcher from google store, it makes my mobile complete dead or slowly, so i have to bring battery out and have to reset. My internal rom only have 2 apps thats it, rest of them are in external card but still it lags, i thought its octa core it will work fast but it is worst the quad core.
[HTC Desire 616] samrat_castle:
If its lagging too much with only a few apps, first try resetting the phone to factory settings and then start using it again. If it still lags, you need to take it to service centre as it may be the problem with the device hardware.

Anyways, rooting will only create a problem if the device is still under warranty, as HTC will not reapair or replace it in case anything goes wrong, Not free of charge at least. Otherwise, rooting is very easy and the best solution to your problem.

Below are some links to help you in rooting and making the phone faster than ever.

So is there anyone here who has sucessfully downgraded to 4.3 using the files Huawei provided on their blog post?

Steps I followed:

1. Download the 4.3 'downgrade' file and extract it.

2. Place the extracted 'dload' directory on the root of the microSD card.

3. From a powered off state, hold down volume +, volume -, and power.

And there's where the SHTF. Instead of the Huawei splash screen coming up (whereupon you would normally release the power button during the flashing procedure) I get a completely dark screen and a BLUE notification LED flash. If you leave the phone alone the blue LED will flash for around a minute or so before the phone spontaneously reboots on it's own - back into Lollipop.

I actually find this kind of fascinating because I never knew the HAM2 even HAD a blue LED, I've never been able to get it to light up blue before even using third party custom notification LED utilities.

Anyway my whole goal in doing this was to help some people on Youtube who wanted me to do a video showing the downgrade process..... but for some reason I can't downgrade my handset.

It's a completely vanilla HAM2 MT2-L03. And it's currently running the Lollipop preview release (B309)
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] Moody66:
Are you running stock recovery? Also there is a new version of the 5.1 up now.

Also I think there are two files. They need to be updated in order. One returns the partition back to 4.3 and the second one actually flashes the software.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] tomlogan1:
Agreed on the two files. I actually did revert back to Jellybean using this method. By upgrading TWRP to the Unifed version, you can then easily go back and forth by restoring backups. I'm now on the B312 and have confirmed moving back and forth works as well.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] Moody66:
Have they fixed the main bugs? Launcher not sticking etc?
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] tomlogan1:
Launcher does not survive a reboot. You can change to your favorite and it will work until you reboot.
