[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] briansnj:
Hello all,

I will need some UberGeek advice for this one...lol

I use TING as my MVNO provider. They offer CDMA and GSM networks backboning on Sprint and T-Mobile. I had to get a new phone and ordered a Sprint CDMA version G900P but received a Verizon model G900V. It works perfectly fine on the TING network.

I am just wondering if there is any reason not to get this phone and to go with a T-Mobile model instead? I normally would go Sprint/CDMA but wanted to try out GSM this time. Both have excellent coverage in my area. I also know about the ATT/Verizon bootloader being locked. I have already rooted this and it's running Lollipop just fine a sper the instructions found in threads here.

TING told me the phone is no different essentially and there should be no problems. As always their cust, svc. was excellent and informative. This phone apparently has dual radios...CDMA and GSM. I don't have to worry about warranties, KNOW tripping or Verizon's bs. As I said, I am rooted and running fine. I will either debloat this sucker or go with another ROM. Right now THE only bugaboo I see is that there are so few ROMs for the Verizon model. I am not into switching ROMs. If I ditch a debloated stock setup, it would have to be very something very clean and stable based on Lollipop. Seems like CM 12.1 could be nice but right now slightly risky and they don't have the Fingerprint feature working either.

Does anyone feel it would be smarter to return this and get a T-Mobile model? Any food for thought or advice or "Here is why you'll regret the Verizon model 6 months from now" kind of advice?

Thanks in advance!!!!!!!!
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sean89us:
Besides the locked bootloader, the G900V is the same phone as the rest of the S5's (of course with different radios for CDMA). If you're cool with just running stock firmware forever then keep the Verizon model. The T-Mobile model would allow you to do whatever you like with it though, as the bootloader is unlocked. Virtually no possibility of losing root.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] briansnj:
Thanks for the response. Pretty much what I figured. I have it rooted and using Safe Strap and MIGHT toy with CM 12.1 since there are many out there with the Verizon model that seem to like it. Plenty of YouTube videos too.

Hi there. I have a tab 2 p3113 that I rooted quite some time ago. Yesterday I decided to try and upgrade to kit kat 4.4.4, and I messed it up. I forgot to move the files to my exsd card before I wiped the files, and also forgot to do a backup. Well, I finally got several roms on my exsd, but every one that I try fails to complete. Do I have to reroot it for them to work? Can I just restock it with a default, then start from scratch? Lastly, will I be able to do any of this with my exsd and the recovery mode(which if the only thing it boots to now) or will i only be able to do this with a pc as well? I've got clockwork 6 recovery installed, BTW. Oh, and the reason I am using a exsd is since I wiped data, there wasn't any zip files on my internal sd

[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gu1da:
NOTE: With much deeper research and a little help from Solvin, I was able to answer these questions, answers are below each question. I am keeping this here for others with my issue to use.​

Original Post:

Hello XDA!

I just finished off my warranty on my Galaxy S5 (SM-G900W8) and want to flash a rom. I've heard of people bricking their phones doing this improperly, so I just wish to make sure I am doing this correctly.

Here's the ROM: http://xdaforums.com/tmobile-galaxy-s5/development/rom-visix-s5-t2800928

My issue is the fact that it mentions I need to flash a new kernel as I'm not with T-Mobile (under installation instructions). I've been searching and could really only find one kernel for the SM-G900W8 on 5.0. I would be fine with the stock one, but I could not find it anywhere for download. So I've got a few general questions:

The Questions/Answers:

Take everything I say below lightly. I have little experience in this and am only going off what others have told me. I am not responsible if you damage your device using information below. If you see something wrong, please don't hesitate to correct me.​

I heard you could use G900F roms on a G900W8 as they are compatible, is this true?

Yes,

Quote from Solvin

[*]With that, could I also use a G900F kernel?

Yep

[*]Where could I find the stock Samsung kernel?

Couldn't get the kernel alone for download, but it looks like the stock rom comes with it.

[*]I see people using Blaze Kernel on their W8's but it never mentions it is compatible (for any version) on the thread, I'm just generally confused on that

It's a G900F kernel, so yes, it works on the W8

[*]What is the worst that can happen if I flash a wrong kernel? Could I just flash the correct one over and fix it (worst case scenario)?

Worst case scenario is you hard brick (no recovery or download mode), which you can't fix. Anything less serious is fixable by flashing the correct kernel.

[*]Is a nandroid backup a foolproof recovery method, no matter how much I screw up or is there a better alternative?

Not 100% sure it can fix everything, but it's your best option. As long as you don't hard brick, I believe a nandroid backup can fix it.

[*]If it's possible to not be able to get into download/recovery mode after flashing an improper kernel, how could I fix this?

I don't have enough knowledge to answer this, but some have been able to fix this issue and some haven't, from what I've seen.

[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gu1da:
I'm fine with how to root 5.0 from stock but I am interested in the process of flashing roms and kernels. I enjoy this ROM because it is debloated and all compared to just rooting stock, and its just a starting point for flashing even more custom roms in the future. Basically my big question is, what do I use as my kernel for the ROM linked in my OP? Is KT-SGS5 my only option?
[XDA Assist] stenpep:
A few months ago I rooted my phone (asus zenfone 2 z00ad) so I could remove some bloatware that came with it.

I used titanium back-up to delete those apps, and of course I first made an back-up of an app before i deleted it.

But I was stupid enough to accidently delete DMclient (the software update app).

So as soon as I discovered that I was very happy with my back-up but everytime I try to re-install it it says app not installed. :crying:

I also tried to use a third party installer called system app installer but it gives me an error that says: Mounting error, Cannot mount system partition as Read/Write.

So what should I do?

Can it be fixed, or do i need to flash a complete new rom?

It comes with really nice updates so I hope someone can help me.

Allright I will ask for help there, thank you for the tip I am new here :)
[ZenFone 2 General] ycavan:
For all of the people that wanted to try their luck w/ Virtualbox, I've compiled it for the ZF2 w/ kernel modules.

This is for Arch x86_64 and I had to put the .xz files into .tar files since xda doesn't recognize them.

Here's the quick howto:

1. untar the files into a folder

2. $ sudo pacman -U -dd < each .xz file starting with virtualbox 5.0.2 >

3. $ sudo insmod vboxdv.ko

3a. ( OPTIONAL -- but not really ): $sudo insmod < the other 3 kernel modules >

I'm sure there's a ton of things that won't work right, like full speed graphics acceleration, but I wanted to put it out there for anyone willing to waste time playing around. :)
[ZenFone 2 General] TenchiMasaki:
How do you get around the error when insmod?

insmod: ERROR: could not insert module vboxdrv.ko: Required key not available
[ZenFone 2 General] ycavan:
You will need a kernel that ignores signatures.
[ZenFone 2 General] TenchiMasaki:
Is there one I can download somewhere?
[ZenFone 2 General] Ginuz:
Xposed module, stand alone zignature check remover not tested but Lucky patcher work well
[ZenFone 2 General] sorg:
don't mess Android signature checks with Linux Kernel signature checks.

You can't fix this neither through XPosed nor through Lucky Patcher.
[ZenFone 2 General] TFGBD:
Has anyone here ever gotten this to work? The arch installer in Linux Deploy no longer works right so I can't test this with a running arch environment. Can someone share their working Arch x64 chroot install? Also, the latest x86_64-moor kernel from ycavan seems to have signature checks enforced so it won't load these modules. I tried to load them in debian and had no success either.

With that said, both VMware and VirtualBox do work under Windows but obviously can't use all the processor virtualization features.

Has anyone here tried to install VMWare? Where would I get the kernel headers? Asus's support website? I wish ycavan documented his stuff better.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Generalbrus:
Hi,

yesterday I unlocked the bootloader on my Moto G (1st Gen.) and installed CM12 - which worked fine.

Today I've installed Xposed Framework along with several modules, and after a while I've started noticing a red frame randomly (?) flashing on the screen.

I've looked around for a solution, but in my case it is

not

related to the Strict Mode in Dev Options - they weren't even enabled. I also tried to edit build.prop adding a couple of lines but that didn't help either. (Yes, I rebooted)

Does anybody have the same issue? Could it be due to Xposed? Any ideas?

Thanks.

Please help! Thank you for your helping!!
[LG Optimus G Pro] hawkwind212:
Your boot loader is broken. Gonna have to get to the down load mode and reinstall either the or the stock. You can probably flash the recovery with .IMG file with lg flashing tool. Nerdy blond's twrp is one of those files that you can use. You can even try installing it first with the adb shell command, you can get the instructions at the same place where you download.

Thank you for replying.

I cannot do anythings since I cannot enter into download mode.

I pressed volume key + and - and insert the usb cable to computer. There is nothing happened, computer dose not show the devices attached and the phone stay in the LG logo screen.

Also, I cannot use adb commands to force the phone enters into download mode as it shows nothings under "List of devices".

Is there any methods I can go into the download mode???

Thank you!
[LG Optimus G Pro] ShadySquirrel:
If your phone shows LG start screen, it should go into Download mode. I had similar problem few days ago while I was testing some kernel patches, it just froze on the LG screen. Solution was to unplug it, remove it's battery, SIM & SD (you don't have to remove SIM & SD, I just work that way) , make sure it's off, return battery back, press Vol + & Vol - at the same time and plug-in the USB cable.

Before that, make sure you have installed LG Unified driver (can be obtained via LG's software from support site), because without that Windows won't recognise your device.

After that, once you make your phone usable with Freegee/whatever you use to install initial recovery, flash official TWRP, because others are too old - that Philz CWM is old but still working with Lollipop but not work good and is tends to lock itself into a bootloop if you use hardware keys to enter; that other one, from GPRO_recovery APK is not supported and not working well (for me since day one), so it should be replaced as soon as possible.

Also, I can suggest you to flash your phone from stock 4.1 (not KitKat), root, flash recovery via freegee and after reboot update to latest official TWRP via Flashify.
[LG Optimus G Pro] pchuen:
Thank you for your detail reply.

I have tried to reinstall the LG driver and try to enter download mode again.

The screen is still stuck on LG logo and I cannot find the device in hardware manager (cannot recognize it).

I cannot do anythings until it can recognize it.

(Is it the bootloader is broken? and can I fix it?)

Thank you very much and waiting for your reply soon.:good:
[LG Optimus G Pro] ShadySquirrel:
Which version of Windows are you using? It should be displayed under Serial ports in Device manager (named something like LGE Serial device) and LGFlashTool should recognise it immediately. I can't make you a screenshot/check for real name because I'm running Linux right now and can't reboot.

Also, try with another cable/port, remove all other android drivers you may have (Samsung's, Google's...) and disable antivirus.
[LG Optimus G Pro] pchuen:
It does not work on Windows 7 and XP.

I did not find any LGE XXX under Serial ports part.

Thank you!
[LG Optimus G Pro] ShadySquirrel:
Hm.... Phone shows that it have entered download mode? Black screen, centered gray message and "DOWNLOAD MODE" red text?
[LG Optimus G Pro] pchuen:
No... nothing happens, just showing LG logo...:(
[LG Optimus G Pro] ShadySquirrel:
OK, it doesn't enter download mode. So, step by step:

- remove battery and leave it for 15-30 seconds, return battery

- press Vol+ and Vol- at the same time and keep them pressed,

- plug USB cable in while keys are pressed

It should immediately put you into download mode, with no LG screen, just black screen with gray box and red text I've described to you.
[LG Optimus G Pro] pchuen:
I understand what download mode screen is.

I followed your methods, bur I still cannot enter it and the computer cannot recognize that.

Sorry for disturbing :crying:
[LG Optimus G Pro] ShadySquirrel:
So, whatever you try to do, phone just shows LG logo, not even a message in an upper left corner?

I'm running out of ideas. I have exact same variant (E988) but only time it didn't want to enter download mode this way was when cable I was using was broken...
[LG Optimus G Pro] pchuen:
I have changed the cable, but it is the same.
[Sony Xperia M2] Laygh:
Hello all. Recently I installed Chainfire3D and tried to install whatever was needed before the plugins. My Sony Xperia M2 (D2306, Android 4.4.4, rooted with the latest KingRoot) was caught in a bootloop after I tried the installation.

There is this thread here <http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2362873> that tells me how to fix it. My current problem with this is that this device doesn't have a stock recovery move to follow the tutorial, or so I've found.

I could use flashtool and restore I think, but it is unavailable to me for the next few days.

Any help would be appreciated, and please let me know if I'm missing any important details. I'm no expert in the root department, but I'm sure I'm not a noob.
