[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] j0mz:
My GS5 G900V is stuck to recovery mode while I was trying to root. My mistake was I used odin to flash it back to a older version to try to root it and I did not did my research I know im a dummy. Now its Soft brick. I looked around and looked around to find answers but nothing seems to work for me. Ive tried using odin again to flash it back to the current firmware but Odin does not work.

It will be stuck on the Samsung GS5 screen and will go straight to recovery mode. Ive tried wiping cache and restore to factory settings still did not work. Tried taking out the battery for some time still did not work. I tried flashing through sd card still did not work.

This is the current log I have. Been trying different things since last night. Nothing works.

I'm not saying to do the whole thing on the first post...just NUMBER #4 IN THE NOTES...

You use Odin and the file given to unbrick your phone back to NCG...

again, just go to NOTES and do #4 to unbrick the phone. You should be safe/fine if you are on OD5. Don't forget to root again and install a superuser...

Tried rooting my SM-G900V. I managed to flash a kernel on it, but kept getting "FAIL!" in Odin when I tried flashing a custom rom. Even after I flashed a kernel on my phone still worked fine. One day it said some nonsense about securtiy updates, I clicked on it and BOOM. Stock OS, GONE. Kernel, GONE. It started giving me a message "use Verizon recovery assistant" I tried getting the program, no dice. I don't have root and I'm on the latest version of lolipop that they have released for the SM-G900V.

CAN ANYONE HELP, PLEASE. IF MY MOM KNEW I WAS MESSING WITH MY PHONE SHE'D KILL ME. SHE THINKS I'VE BEEN CHARGING IT FOR 3 DAYS!!!

[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] landshark68:
If you were on the latest version of Lollipop and were not yet rooted, you cannot root your phone, flash custom ROMs, and I don't think you can flash kernels. You need to get your hands on a full ODIN stock tar file for the build your phone was on. OG5 is available, but I don't think the OK3 file is available yet. If you took an update in the past 2 or 3 days prior to trying this, you are stuck for a while with no way out. If you did not take an update on your phone in the past 2 or 3 days, look for the OG5 full stock ODIN file to flash to your phone.

He said he was on the latest Lollipop version when he tried to root. If so, he cannot flash the NCG file. He wasn't already rooted, he was trying to root on the latest Lollipop build which can't be done at this time.

[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] landshark68:
No offense intended, but if you don't know how to use ODIN and you don't have any idea what any of what I wrote means, you shouldn't be trying to root your phone without understanding all of it. I'm not aware of a video guide for using ODIN but I'd be willing to bet you could probably find one on youtube. If you can't find a video guide, found in post #4 of this thread is an old picture guide that should give you a pretty good understanding of using ODIN:

http://forum.androidcentral.com/ver...=1.251820425.1215152510.1443888191#post542513

I believe the PDA button is now called the AP button. Follow the video guide you found or the attached picture guide and flash the full BOG5 ODIN tar file found in this thread:

http://xdaforums.com/verizon-galaxy-s5/general/g900vvru2bog5-factoryodintarimage-t3179527

There may even be a guide for using ODIN found here at XDA if you dig around some. Not sure.

[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alaneddy:
You can grab the stock firmware, either OG5. OK3, or PB1 (newest), and flash with odin in the AP slot, I also recommend grabbing the PIT file (goes in the PIT slot). If you want root, then just go ahead and grab the PB1 and follow the directions on this link.

Hello,

I am trying to record a video using the Lollipop's framework. Sadly what I have noticed is that when I do so, my output file is missing frames resulting in not smooth video. Basically where should be second frame, there is still the frame number one.

I have tried different apps for it, adb and even MHL to record via my AverMedia card - but all are giving same result. Of course this is not noticeable on my phone screen at all.

My phone is Note 4 - both Cyanogenmod and Stock roms are giving same result.

DeadB00st

DISCLAIMER: I am not responsible for bricked devices, dead SD cards,

thermonuclear war, or you getting fired because the alarm app failed. When you choose to flash the zip, you took all responsibilities. If you are afraid to flash a zip, make a nandroid backup first. Please use with caution..

Works in every device with android 2.3+!

I made a Tool that runs through the terminal emulator, toB00$t your device's Ram and hard drive with no need for apps!!

If you have any suggestions tell me.

To install :

1.Download the file from Mega, Google Drive or AndroidFileHost

2.Make a nandroid backup just to be sure(although you propably aren't going to need it)

3.Flash the zip through recovery

4.Reboot

And that's it!

Source Code:

Github

To use:

su
DB

And then a Menu pops up..

After update v1.4 you can use the followng commands:

su
dstrim

fstrims /data, /cache, /system

su
dram

Cleans the Ram

su
dboost

Fstrims, Cleans the ram and deletes Unused, Unwanted, Useless files

1. Check DeadB00st Files

Checks if the files were installed properly.

2.Trim Menu

Opens the Trim Menu with options to Trim All(/data, /cache, /system), Double trims(/data and /cache, /data and /system, /cache and /system), or individual trims(/data or /cache or /system)

3.B00st Menu

Opens the B00st with options to B00st with all scripts, Ram B00st (light, moderate, aggresive) and files cleaner.

4.DeadSwitches

Switches...

5. Build.prop DeadTweaks

40 Build.prop tweaks with turn all on and turn all off and of course turn the tweakd on and off individually.

6. Cpu Governor DeadTweaks

In here you can enable and disable tweaks for battery, performance or balanced for each governor individually.

7. DeadCpu Manager

This works as an overclockin app where you set the max cpu freq, min cpu freq, governor and IO Scheduler from the ones given by your device and it applies them 30 seconds after boot

8. Reboot Now...

Reboots the phone

9. Changelog

Shows the Changelog.

10. Uninstall DeadB00st

Uninstalls DeadB00st.

11. Check for updates

Here's probably the greatest atribute of this mod: Auto-Update. This option checks for updates downloads them, and installs them automatically from recovery or lets you do it manually by installing from your main storage ( It's named DB.zip)

12. Open Xda thread.

i don't know what it does :p

thnx
[P3300, MDA Compact III  upgrading etc.] Registerme:
I don't know if it's possible to translate a ROM but I think it would be a lot more difficult than simply USING a Dutch ROM. There are Emulator Images from Microsoft for WM6 and there is a way to extract those, I don't know how but many guys in this forum know how to do it. With the extracted ROM you can built your own stuff.

Or simply wait until Tom Codon has released Black and Blue v3.5 in the WM6 forum. He said that he wants to create a Dutch Version too. He did a very good job on the German version.

Hello everyone. I need some serious help because i think i just may have bricked my HTC One M8 and i need to get it back to life. I was trying to root/s-off/convert to google play edition using Hansoon's tool, and it was all perfect until i got to the ADB flash step for the GPE RUU file. It was taking hours, so i cancelled it like a dumbass.

Well, my phone now will turn on and boot up to the HTC logo screen, but there is a small lock that is in the unlocked position in the bottom-center of the screen. The phone just sits there, like i OS doesnt work or something.

The phone is not recognized by ADB on the PC, and im using scared because i just go this phone and paid a lot for it.

**Also, i did flash a version of TWRP, so i think i still have a recovery on the phone

Is there anything i can do?

Thanks,

[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] Uzephi:
Sorry for the late reply. Have you tried holding the power and volume down to see if you can boot into bootloader? Please refrain from using toolkits. It is best to use the commands yourself. I had an issue converting my AT&T m8 to T-mobile. It was HTC sync causing the issue. Be sure you don't have anything that can talk to the phone like HTC Sync installed at all on the computer and retry. Your best bet is to run the exe RUU if at all possible at this point as you don't have to run any fastboot commands for it.

Edit: have you changed your CID and MID to convert to the GPE version if it doesn't match the requirements? Also, is this the one you a\were trying to flash? If so, try flashing with method one on an external SD card.
