Edit: The issue I encountered below was fixed by chaging the extension *.tar[1].md5 to *.tar.md5 which I overlooked at first.

I am getting a "MD5 error! Binary is invalid" after I clicked on PDA / AP and browsed to the .tar.md5 I downloaded from the link in this thread. I used the Unified Android Toolkit, which starts ODIN v3.09 to Flash the ROM. In Odin the message is "MD5 Hash value is unvlaid."

Note that I just carried it out a a factory reset (using also the advanced option and wipe system, data, ...) Not sure if it was appropriate. Anyhow, I restated in Downloading mode (ODIN MODE, UDC START, Knox Warranty Void: 0x1 (4)) so I skipped straight to Flash Rom, which started Odin.

Any suggestions?

Thank you

just updated but my baseband version is still G900TUVU1F0F6
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] ashraf sharif:
Thanks for pointing that out. It took me several tries to successfully upload the file to mega. I changed the filename in my cloud drive just now so the filename should work fine.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] ashraf sharif:
That's strange, how did you update? Kies?odin?ota?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] phongoli0:
kies
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] ashraf sharif:
thats strange maybe try samsung smart switch or try kies again? you can odin flash it too.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] fdavila17:
Im still getting that "Binary is invalid" message in odin
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] ShinySide:
Try removing md5 off the end
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] fdavila17:
that did the trick.... but it failed when it was about 90% done.... tried 3 times with no luck
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] ShinySide:
Failed on what?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] fdavila17:
in odin... when it starts installling the system... it says failed in odin...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] dpluigi:
Thanks. The ROM flashed easily and after the initial setups I am trying to Root my phone. The Recovery-TWRP-2.7.1.0-KLTE.tar was sinatalled, Busibox Root zip files were pushed to be flashed, I think it rebooted to TWRP... not it is stuck when booting to Android, i.e. white text "Samsung Galaxy S5" over black background. I tried a couple of time to force reboot, now it freezes at T..Mobile in Red with white background display.

Another details, in the Unified Android Toolkit, I selected Samsung S5 / TMobile / Build 5.0 (the only choice besides 4.4.1 and 4.4.1).

Also, I thought your ROM was already rooted but initially I haden't set the usb debug mode, just the Developer mode (tapping 7 times on Build number).

I am a newbie, do you have a suggestion of what went wrong.

thanks,

Donat
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] ashraf sharif:
no this is official firmware that I downloaded from sammobile. not rooted. only way to root it afaik is to use a rooted kernel . you can root with the trapkernel or hispasian kernel in the original android development section but those kernels are not for this firmware version and some functions will not work such as mhl. I would wait until we get a rooted kernel for this firmware
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] dpluigi:
Thanks for the clarification. Right now it is not booding to Android anymore. How should I revert back to get your Stock Rom working?

On a side note, I wanted to Root to use Titanium Backup to restore my user data and apps. No biggie, I can way.

Thank you again for following on this thread.

Donat
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] ShinySide:
Bad download maybe?

No 5.1.1 is root able til kernel source is posted by Samsung. If you want root flash my trap kernel but be warned like the op stated mhl will not work because fof6 broke it. If you you don't care about mhl use trap kernel to root. I'll update it once the source is released
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] ashraf sharif:
if it failed to install system you may have a bad download. at this point I would put the phone in download mode and use kies to upgrade and initialize you will be prompted to enter your model number and serial number but it should be able to get you up and running
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] ashraf sharif:
you can flash the tar in odin or use kies to upgrade and initialize
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] dpluigi:
Please delete.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] ashraf sharif:
you can flash the tar in odin or use kies to upgrade and initialize or maybe a factory reset would work too

here is the zip if you need it

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] dpluigi:
Thank you. It did the trick. I will wait for an update to compatible root. Regarding CWM and TWRP 2.7.1., I left what was last installed.

I can try your trap kernel and then update again later when a 5.1.1 Root able and MHL compatible is available. Could you point me to a thread describing the Trap Kernel approach?

Thank you both,

Donat
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] fdavila17:
That zip is to flash it on twrp?? Or it has a .tar file inside to flash it in odin?? Because the .tar isnt working for me at all it keeps failing in odin
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] ashraf sharif:
odin flash
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] ShinySide:
No if you root with trap kernel or Hispasian and then flash stock you won't have root any more
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] ashraf sharif:
here http://xdaforums.com/tmobile-galaxy-s5/orig-development/kernel-hispasian-kernel-5-1-1-t3158877 just so you know this hispasian kernel and the trapkernel are compiled by Shinyside. and the firmware is from samsung . none of these files are my work. i just uploaded the firmware
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] dpluigi:
I can use this Shinyside's firmware dev with FOF6 until a solution is found for FOG6. You both were great help tonight. Thank you from Denver, Colorado. :good::)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] ashraf sharif:
fof6 is very buggy , Fog6 is running much smoother at least for me. you can still use the hispasian fof6 kernel with the fog6 firmware . just install twrp and flash the kernel. then just wait until the fog6 rooted kernel becomes available. the only reason I am not doing this is because it breaks mhl which is broken anyway on fof6. I hope you understand . also fog6 fixes the stagefright vulnerability.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] calvin35:
F0f6 was one of the worst updates I'd ever had. F0g6 is one of the best. Once I applied the Multitasking fix and installed a browser with built in add blocking all was good again.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] ashraf sharif:
multitasking fix?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] calvin35:
I discovered that if you go to developer options and change "limit background processes" to 4 at most that the phone keeps apps open in the background much better. Don't know why but it does work and I haven't found any drawbacks yet.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] phongoli0:
flashed the update 4 times with odin, baseband still wont update
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] ashraf sharif:
if you can get the modem only file flash it in odin in the cp slot. also sometimes you need to pull the battery after a flash for the baseband to stick. I would have thought kies would work for sure.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] ashraf sharif:
interesting
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] z28james:
Yeah, I also seem to be on the old baseband after upgrading via kies. :/
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] daxecutioner24:
Can't I just download the baseband from this? Perhaps the better question would be is can I download this, root phone flash custom recovery and then CyanogenMod? Or do I have to wait for source
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] ShinySide:
Download, flash, flash twrp, don't root, flash cm
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] z28james:
I downloaded the ZIP provided in the initial post, created a tar containing "modem.bin" and "NON-HLOS.bin", flashed the tar using ODIN, pulled the battery, re-flashed my tar using ODIN and at this point I'm now at the updated baseband.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] dpluigi:
It seemed to have worked, and everything run smoothly except I am getting "Security notice Unauthorized actions had been detected. Restart your phone to undo any unauthorized changes." each time I selected Cancel.

What I did is: Flash install TWRP 2.7.1, pushed hispasian fof6 kernel, then rooted, let supersu be installed from TWRP recovery boot. Then I was able to grant priviledge to Titanium, Clean master, Busybox. I also ran G900T_OF6_Batch_DeBloater & App Freezer from muniz_ri live (in extreme mode) on my phone. Note after restoring user/program data some app services stop working, mainly Google play services, which was easy to fix.

Are these boggus securing messages and I can ignore them or I broke something?

I read on a post about an app'Package Disabler' from the Play Store which can disable: 'SecurityLogAgent' (com.samsung.android.securitylogagent). I am no sure if it is appropriate and safe to do this here.

I apologize if this is not related to this thread, as thought it might be related.

Thank you for any suggestions
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] ShinySide:
Just delete the whole security log bs out of system/app. Just delete the entire folder

Did nothing wrong it's just freaking out because the system partition was "tampered" with by installing root. If you would of flashed trap kernel first it would of removed it for you. But guess I'll add it to the hispasian zip too on next update so people can avoid it on that one too
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] dpluigi:
Bingo... It worked. To see what happens, in folder system/app/ SecurityLogAgent I actually renamed rename the file *.old to inactivate it an did did the trick. Thanks.

Sorry again if this is off topic (i.e. not related) but, after all these changes, I noticed after using it for a while that it constantly keeps forgetting all saved wifi passwords over time, definitely after a restart. Is forgetting a wifi network password a know issue for 5.1.1? I looked into Data/misc/wifi/ and wpa_supplicant/ is empty and wpa_supplicant.conf is full of old network previously connected but nothing about the recents ones. At the moment I have to re-enter after each restart of phone. Also, I did switch smart switch, so it is forced to use wifi only so I stay in my 1GB full speed / unlimited.

Thanks for pointers.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] ShinySide:
In the build prop change ro.securestorage=true to false and it'll stop forgetting them
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] Hybrid Divide:
Apologies if this is a repeat question, but will your newest hispasian kernel root this ROM? Or is that still in the works?

Thanks!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] dpluigi:
Thanks. All set and I am impressed with the smoothness and great battery life I am getting today - well worth the custom installs. Also it seems that my phone runs cooler over all, i'm a happy camper.

I learned a lot in a day thanks to you and ashraf sharif. Thank you both a bunch... :good::good::)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] ShinySide:
Hispasian won't root it but will allow you to root

Trap will root you tho

Both break mhl of course tho
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] Hybrid Divide:
Thanks. Is MHL breaking tied to root? I was under the impression that this FOG6 update fixes it. Slightly confused.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] ShinySide:
Samsung broke it with F6, and working again on G6
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] Hybrid Divide:
Ah, I think I get it. Should only be a matter of time before rooting G6 will be possible without breaking MHL.

Sorry to hijack the topic! :D

And now, back to your regularly scheduled thread.

Me Too!! I just posted this in another thread. I wonder why. My wife's identical phone that is NOT rooted has both baseband and build the new F0G6.

What are you going to do? I was thinking about trying a factory reset then update, then root again... But I have no idea really what I'm doing. I'm new at this. Suggestions?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] pipergca:
I always have to check Phone Bootloader Update in Odin for it to update everything correctly. You could try that.

Update: I realized this afternoon that my Camera is not working, I am getting "Warning Camera Failed" when I start it - and selecting Ok closes the camera app. It is not clear when it stopped working between installing the FOG6 firmware and flashing TWRP and rooting.

Short of doing a factory reset I have tried: phone reboot, clearing the cache and data and force stop the camera app in App Manager, started in safe mode to see if a third party app is the culprit, not to avail in every case the Camera failed, and the app closes. I also removed my 32GD sd card.

Between ShinySide and Ashraf Sharif I got great pointers and learned a lot about getting the customized phone running - so it is all good and a learning curve for me.

Is it related to the custom ROM, firmware, kernel installs?

Any suggestions?

Thanks
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] 1iwilly:
hey ashraf sharif

can you point me to the trw to use.?? thanks been a while doing this trying to catch up again been on the road to long
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] andROIDS:
Just curious, when you ran the debloater, was it when you were rooted with Hispasian kernel or do you have the debloater from before root was required? I'm assuming the latter since you said you flashed it in TWRP. How did it work on this new build and would you be willing to share?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] axxel6307:
I reflashed stock rom with FOG6 because my baseband wasn't updated. Now all is updated correctly. REady to reroot. with trapkernel. Which twrp should I use? The F0F6 is ok? Found here: http://androidhost.org/JRVST

Is that what you used?

---------- Post added at 05:09 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:06 PM ----------

Shiny told me to do this and it worked. My baseband is updated now.

"Download the odin package,uncheck auto reboot, flash with odin, when done pull the battery, flash it again and let it reboot. Samsung for some reason has issues at times updating modems. We had the same problem on the s4."

---------- Post added at 05:19 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:09 PM ----------

Did you run zimperium to test vulnerability? Mine and my wifes gs5 still says vulnerable after F0G6 update. Lookout tool says not vulnerable though......
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] Hybrid Divide:
Has Samsung released the source for FOG6 yet?

I want to upgrade to this, but not until a rooted version is released.

Guess I should fill out the request for it, huh?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] Corwinder:
I also seem to be having a problem with the camera not working. I installed using Oden. Installed all my apps again then I went ahead installed TWRP then before restart I went to recovery and installed trapkernel. everything I thought was working fine until I saw this post and decided to check the camera. I get the same message about camera failed. Went to Google Play and downloaded Google Camera. That gives me a Camera error and says it can't connect to the camera. At work right now so I can't just reinstall FOG6 firmware until I get home.

Ok, update now. Got home reflashed FOG6 firmware. Pulled battery before reboot. Reflashed FOG6 firmware. I let that boot and baseband shows FOG6 so then I open up camera. Everything working so far. Then I reboot into download mode. Flash TWRP and when it reboots I boot it into recovery. Reflash trap kernel and then reboot. No on install super su. Reboots and I go straight to camera. I got the message Warning Camera Failed. [MENTION=5580710]ShinySide[/MENTION] thought you might want to know about that when you are finally able to make a kernel for FOG6. I'm a little surprised the rooted kernel broke the camera.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] dzhowandai:
Is there a tar or flashable zip for stock FOG6 kernel ?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] ShinySide:
Huh weird. Well when I update it it'll be FOG6 source so should be fine then. Thanks for the heads up tho.

Good news about ShinySide's updated "TrapKernel" Root method for FOG6 / 5.1.1 for the G900t. [MENTION=4410998]ashraf sharif[/MENTION], you mention that you backed up boot and system in twrp before testing the root kernel for easy fix. Hopefully I won't need to do a factory reset and/or wipe all data and apps if the ROM is not changed. To clarify can I flash this Trap kernel over to replace the Hispasian Kernel that I flashed on Monday/Tuesday, but keeping your installed FOG6 firmware on my SM-G900T ?

Note that I had installed Superuser when asked by TWRP 2.7.1.0 Recovery the other day (see below for more details). I am using Android Unified toolkit PRO, which was used to install TWRP 2.7.1.0 (latest available there). Could SU installed or older version TWRP be both potential problems to deal with?

If I do need to update TWRP, which version do you recommend from https://twrp.me/devices/samsunggalaxys5qualcomm.html?

Thank you for answering my questions, as a newbie.

Have TWRP on OF6

I have read through all 11 pages and couldn't form a definitive answer to my questions...

I have TWRP 2.8.7.0.

I am running Stock Deodexed Rooted OF6 and it's seriously pi**ing me off with all it's problems.

I can live without root for a while to get better performance. So my question is can I flash the official OG6 (from Sammobile) update through TWRP and have it work correctly just without root? and still retain TWRP?

Should I wait till Samsung posts the source kernel, and someone to compile a stock TWRP flashable rooted OG6 rom? (How long would estimated wait time be?)

Please excuse my incorrect terminology (If Any Feel Free To Correct It)

Thank you very much for your help,
