Did Xposed worked fine on your SM-G870A? i asume you installed Rooted Android 5.0 , i'm stuck on 4.4.2 and i'm trying to go to 5.0 but the "Xposed" not working barrier stops me

About rooting G870A_OF3

Good day.

I'm rusiian, and I'm living in Japan...and I bought this american device. )

So please forgive my curve English, in advance. I'm not using it every day, unfortunately )

So. I bought this phone for activity and hike, obviously. And as you probably know, it may cause some problems in hike, when you discover that your phone can see a satellite spots, but it doesn't want to establish a connection with them.

[IMG="GPS test screenshot"]https://plus.google.com/109644362247319066827/posts/8ATTcnTJM6y[/IMG]

Then, after searching, I find that that the problem may be in uncorrectly data from A-GPS servers. (although I'm not sure, and if you have an opinion on this matter, I would appreciate it ) But, it needs Root to correct these data.

In this way, not having much experience in flashing firmware, I don't sure about possibility of doungrading to 4.0 from 5.0 OF3, and then returning to rooted 5.0. To be honest, I have no idea how to do it. )

And I'm realy regret that I have to bother you by so stupid question, but it will be great, if you could advice me anything.

Thanks in advance.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] Dave Kelsen:
So I purchased a new S5 Active AT&T, because I'm not interested in spending $600 + for a phone.

It seemed to be stock, although it said it was 'unlocked'.

It had 4.4.4, and I wanted root access.

I downloaded the tools needed, and using Odin (3.10.6, I think), I flashed the NE4 ROM, G870_NE4_Stock_Kernel.tar. Odin said it succeeded.

Restarting now hangs interminably at the AT&T logo, and the phone gets exceptionally hot. I have given it as much as an hour.

I can boot into download mode, but nothing I have tried has had any effect. I have tried using Odin to install the full ROM, G870AUCU1ANE4_Full_Odin. Same end result. My phone seems to be completely fubar.

I know this thread has not been active for a while, but this is quite distressing. Can anyone tell me what steps I might take to make progress? Thanks.

*** I re-flashed using an earlier version of Odin (I'm not sure if the Odin version made the difference or simply re-flashing), and was able to re-set after encountering the same problem on rebooting. By re-setting, I mean going in to reboot mode (up-volume, center button and power).

I am now rooted on 4.4.2, and looking at which of Muniz' ROMs I want to install on my Active.

Thanks, everyone, for the work you've done. I will post back here when I have successfully finished...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] Dave Kelsen:
Something about this doesn't quite add up.

Can anyone explain?

Dave Kelsen
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] Dave Kelsen:
I am another who can report complete success, as far as I can tell. I am on Lollipop and rooted on a new S5 Active, after following the instructions in the OP.

Thanks to all who posted questions, and especially those who posted answers. I am no longer interested in the cutting edge, but I do like to have control of my phone.

Bout to get this phone.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] oldschooltech:
It worked!!!

Im a NOB here but I have been searching reading and hacking away at my S-5A. I have soft bricked my phone, got caught in a boot loaded, and finally was going to toss it untill I load one more rom.

Im now running 5.0 with root coming from 4.4.2 rooted. I'm having trouble with the tether/hot spot.

Here is my issue:

" Your phone screen will turn black for some time, so do not panic, be patient. When it turns up, install the Tether add-on zip file and reboot your device. It the tether zip I'm not understanding. I used flashfire to flash it from my sd card. What does it mean install the zip again? I think this is a stupid question but I'm losing sleep over it. Anyhow I install the tether via flashfire but it still verifies with att and tells me to call them .......no way I want to pay $20 a month when I have an old unlimited plan. Thanks in advance

I follow the direction below but I think I'm missing something:

1.	Copy the G870A_OF3_Stock_Rooted_ROM.zip to your device.

2.	Before you do anything, open SuperSU app on your phone, tap the Settings tab, scroll to Enable

3.	su during boot option and enable it.

4.	Open the FlashFire app and “Agree” to the Terms and Conditions prompted by the app.

5.	Press the rounded “+” button twice to bring up the Actions menu.

6.	Now tap Flash Zip or OTA option and select the G870A_OF3_Stock_Rooted_ROM.zip.

7.	Make sure that Auto-mount is unchecked under the Options menu and press the check-mark to continue.

8.	From the main menu uncheck all options under EverRoot.

9.	Set the Reboot settings to Download.

10.	When all’s done, tap the Lightning bolt icon followed by OK to begin the installation.

11.	When the installation is finished, your device will reboot automatically into the Download Mode.

12.	Now connect your phone to the PC via USB cable and launch Odin.

13.	Click the PDA/AP button in Odin and select the G870A_OC5_Bootloader.tar.md5 file.

14.	Then hit the Start button to begin installation.

Your AT&T Galaxy S5 Active will reboot automatically. Just wait patiently for a while. Done!

Enable WiFi Tethering on AT&T Galaxy S5 Active (NOT NECESSARY on my stuff)

Note: You must have root access to flash the WiFi Hotspot mod on your phone.

1.	Install FireFlash app by Chainfire (see Method 1 for how to).

2.	Download the Mobile Hotspot mod file and copy the zip to your phone: G870A_OC5_TetherAddOn.zip

3.	Now launch FireFlash and tap the “+” icon twice to bring up the menu and then select Flash Zip or OTA option.

4.	Navigate to G870A_OC5_TetherAddOn.zip file and select it.

5.	Make sure that the Auto-mount option is not selected under Options.

6.	Leave the default settings under EverRoot and Reboot options untouched.

7.	Finally, tap the Lightning bolt icon and then tap OK.

Your phone screen will turn black for some time, so do not panic, be patient. When it turns up, install the Tether add-on zip file and reboot your device. When your phone boots up, you’ll be able to enjoy free WiFi hotspot on your AT&T Galaxy S5 Active (SM-G870A) running the new OC5 Lollipop firmware.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] samadam870:
Hello guys, I have a Samsung galaxy s5 active SM-G870A running on LP 5.0, 870AUCU2BOF3. Lately it's been hanging tripping off and restarting at the slightest use of the phone and my screen and battery gets unbearably hot. I've tried to downgrade it to 4.4.2 using odin but that hasn't been successful. I've booted in safe mode and it still behaves as mentioned above. Also experiencing rampant crashes from apps and services and when it boots it shows me a padlock with the word "Custom" below it. I want to believe its not been rooted though. Do I need to reinstall the current version of LP? I'm all ears on the best possible method to restore and root my device. Thanks in advance....

Flashing the of3 again

I went from OC5 to OF3. I want to flash OF3 again. I don't have to do anything as far as going back to OC5 for the bootloader do I? From what I understand the OC5 bootloader remains with these flashes correct?

My baseband shows g870aucu2bof3. I am rooted and have never taken an over the air update. Only ever updated with instructions

from this site. I am trying to be as cautious as I can and haven't been able to find any info on whether or not I have to odin back to NE4 and start from the beginning just to basically perform a factory reset.

I debloated the phone and I may have gone a little too far so I'm trying to start again with everything. Thats the reason I want to reflash the OF3.

Thanks for any info.

I wouldn't give up so easy, I'd take it up to tmobile and complain about their service. Don't mention where or how you got the phone just tell them that you won't continue to pay for what you're not receiving. I have a feeling they may just exchange it for you to keep you as a customer.

:crying:

Hey guys,

Totally depressed over here. So I save and save and save and BOOM, Im the proud owner of a Nexus 6. I hit up Swappa because Ive had good dealings with solid dudes there in the past. I got my phone on Friday after work. It was described on Swappa as Mint, and on the exterior it was just that Mint I turned it on with SIM in and ready to fall in love. What I got was a device that everytime the screen times out, or you are done for a minute and hit the power button, if it sits idle for more than 5-10 min its basically dead to the world, google voice, manual hitting the power button, plugging in the charger, NOTHING....The only way, and I mean the ONLY way I can get it to turn back on is to hold the power button for like 20 or 30 seconds and then it turns on. I tried to contact the dude I got it from about it and he just said I am full of S**t and it worked perfect when he sent it to me. He said basically screw you. Took a LOT of hard a** work to save up to get this phone man and It looks like Im hit. Do any of you guys have any clues or a godsent solution to this hell? I need yalls help. Im totally at a loss for why this is happening.:(

Swappa believe it or not told me, work it out with him. I qued them in on every message I sent him and they just replied well sorry you couldnt work it out. I am actually surprised that as buyer seller protected they shout about over there all they really do is make sure the esn isnt smashed. they dont help resolve issues like this at all. His ad clearly stated no returns unless not as advertised. he advertised mint, so any of you here know exactly what that means. He told me to take a video of the phone actually doing it, and in the next sentence said it was working perfect when he shipped it. Wheres his video to prove that? Even Swappa lets a guy go down in flames huh? This Item is not as described if it locks up. Its not "Functions Flawlessly" as they advertised. sorry this isnt the place for this. It took me a long time to come up with the money he just stole from me
