No pc = no hope?

So, basically as of right now its impossible to root this device if you don't have access to a computer? Bummer. I came off of an Infocus M810 that came pre-rooted (it uses the same chipset as this phone) and I was spoiled by the boost in gaming performance rooting gave the phone. I was underwhelmed by this phone's stock performance. I watched some YouTube vids and couldn't believe how badly this phone handled a lot of high end games. This is (or was) a flagship device. You really shouldn't even need to modify it in order to get decent performance.

Sorry for the rant, lol

Thank you, so much.

this post gave me the instructions i needed. here's what i did.

i had all my drivers correct, that wasn't the issue. the issue was that i flashed the wrong boot loader (i think) because once i used odin to flash twrp, it booted!

twrp even allowed me to grab a copy of super su, root my device, and now i'm installing ad away because ADS.

[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] saladdish:
Okay so here's the thing I did..

I actually just downloaded the latest TWRP, and then I downloaded an updated 6.0.1 ROM (BeanStalk is what I used, which is pretty good) and the Open GApps 6.0 Nano zip. Put them onto a MicroSD, booted into TWRP/Recovery, did a full wipe of Cache, the other Cache that starts with a D, System, and Data. Then I installed BeanStalk ROM, cleared both caches, installed the GApps, cleared both caches again, and then I Factory Restored it. (Factory Restore to avoid any GApps bugs with permissions and what not.) That all worked out fine, but left me with no Voice Data on my service, but I do have Other Data for browser, etc. But that's an easy fix via calling ST and asking them to fix it from their end.

That's pretty much what I did. I got the idea to just out of the blue try flashing a rom and it worked, so hopefully it'll work for you too.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dcmille290:
I started with the G902L from Straight Talk, wiped the phone, used Odin to obtain root, MOAR ROM and TWRP and then installed 5.0 So far it runs great, no KNOX and no bloatware. Would really like to see if I can install 6.0.1, but the copy I have won't write with ODIN or Verizon Software update. This is what I have now: Model listed as SM-G900V, S902LUDU3AOG2, Kernel is 3.4.0.

I have tried installing G900VVRU2DPD1_G900VVZW2DPD1_G900VVRU2DPD1_HOME.tar.md5 and it fails after NAND write.

So far I have gotten Resurrection Remix, Cyanide and the newest CM13 nightly 9/1/16 to work fully on my SM-s902L. I tried Phoenix (wouldn"t flash at all) Tipsy (no data or voice) and a couple others to no avail. I did get what looks like a Verizon stock rom to work with 5.0 on it with pre-installed gapps that was pretty solid. Alot the Marshmallow roms I tried before the GPS wouldnt work but surprisingly RR, Cyanide and CM13 are working fully.

I can confirm mokie does have GPS for kltevzw. It seems like most of the roms that had gps bugs have had them fixed with the newest updates. Which is great! Anyone else on kltevzw have any good working roms to suggest?
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] masterx1234:
Update!!! I found a Android Marshmallow ROM that works flawlessly on the straight talk variant of the S5, its called Resurrection Rom and the link is right here: https://basketbuild.com/filedl/devs...urrectionRemix-M-v5.7.4-20160923-kltevzw.zip#

Install Instructions: Put the rom on your root of your SD card (do not unzip it) Go into your recovery and wipe your phones internal memory and the cache ect... then install it from the recovery installer menu as normal. The rom will take 5 or more minutes on the first boot, so its perfectly normal for it to take a long time on the first boot.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Henrea4:
Ok. Trying to flash roms is what bricked my last phone and why I have a Galaxy S5 in the first place. So if I'm going to attempt this again, I'd better do it right. On this page http://techxat.com/install-android-6-0-1-marshmallow-on-samsung-galaxy-s5/ it says you need to download GApps before flashing the rom. Is this an unnecessary step? Like I said before, I don't want to mess anything up.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] masterx1234:
Gapps (google Apps) need to be placed on the SD card and installed only after the rom is installed because the ROM does not include any Google apps such as the google play store ect. This is due to license issues and no ROMS come with Gapps by default, you install gapps in TWRP recovery just like how you flash the rom, its the same easy and simple process.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Henrea4:
Ok! Thanks for the quick reply. Going to give this a go. :good:
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Henrea4:
Damn.

So I successfully flashed RR and GApps (which seems to work well despite me not being able to connect to my 5ghz wifi) but when I went to try and flash supersu I got stuck in a bootloop. Please help!!
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] masterx1234:
Why did you flash Super SU when its available on the google play store?
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Henrea4:
Yes it was stupid I know. I was just reading about a different custom rom installation where the writer was complaining about losing root after flashing. The advice he was given was to wipe the dalvik cache and flash supersu. I just figured this rom was probably the same. God.

So am I screwed or what?
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] masterx1234:
Ah OK. Just start over and wipe the internal data and reflash the rom and then Gapps. Then download super super from the play store. That's what I did. Root is working fine
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Henrea4:
It worked. Thanks!! It does bug me that I can't log in to my 5ghz "media" wifi connection though. I wonder why it stays stuck trying to obtain the ip address. Are you having any issues?
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] masterx1234:
That is very odd i am connected fine to my 5GHz network, What type of router or device are you trying to connect to? perhaps you need to reset it. Another thing you can try is to tap on the connection name in your wifi settings and choose "Forget" and then attempt to re-connect to your router.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Henrea4:
Was I supposed to wipe my modem in twrp before I flashed the custom rom?

It's a Belkin router that worked fine with my GS5 up until I updated the phone. I'll try to reset the router now. If that doesn't work I'll try to clear the modem then reflash.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] masterx1234:
I didnt re-flash my modem at all. the one in the rom should be working fine, also if you find that your data doesnt work you can call straight talk and they will fix it from their end, i had to do that when i flashed Moar ROM on my s5 the first time.

Hi I'm just curious, I also have a straight talk version of the galaxy s5 and I have twrp and tried flashing RR on it along with gapps. Now everything is fine except for the fact that I can not send or receive calls and texts, however data works flawlessly. Is this just something I can call ST and have them fix on their end?

Sorry I'm sort of a newb. So anyways, the Sim card is under the battery, so like, clean flash rr without the Sim inserted, and then after initial setup, I'd have to shut the phone off again to put the Sim back in and then it might work?

Trouble flashing my phone

Hey was wondering if anyone could maybe throw some tips or some help my way it would be much appreciated.

I am still trying to pick some of this stuff as I am fairly new at it and a big noob.

I had no problem getting my s902L s5 rooted with Odin and got TWRP installed. (Installed with Odin 3.10.6 and the TWRP version is 3.0.2)

I made a backup like one of the videos on here explained to do before flashing a rom. And I wiped Dalvik / ART Cache, system, data and cache before I installed the ROM for the first time.

The ROM I tried was resurrection remix v5.8.0 (nougat 7.1) after I installed it I used open gapps 7.1 arm stock as that is the version of processor I have. It ran pretty well I had no problems installing and messed with it for a day and I was surprised how well it actually worked.

But I noticed that when I restarted the phone, it gave me a message that I can't recall because it only happened for a

second an then the phone would boot up no problem. It said something about the kernel and recovery bit I believe?

So I figured I should try to reinstall the backup I had made.

So I turned it off and tried to flash it back to 4.4.2 stock. I wiped via TWRP (dalvik, system data and cache) Then I clicked on recovery and found where the backup I made before installing the rom was on my sd and started it. It completed with no problems but when I booted into the phone the straight talk logo hung for about 3 minutes then it let me on the phone and all of the services started to crash it would just spam me with tons of messages "unfortunately, messaging has failed." and many more.

Did I reinstall in the improper way? Do I need the stock ROM to reinstall since I have messed it up? Does maybe someone have that ROM if I could please have it? I'm on S902LUDU3A0GA.

Any help would be much much much appreciated as I am a clueless noob.

***update*** I tried reinstalling the RR 7.1 mod again and the error I get when I am booting is "kernel is not seandroid enforcing" and "set memory bit kernel."
