This means the root is done?

is there anyone else that has tried the root method mentioned above?

Someone said it only trips the KNOX, doesnt root.

[Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo Questions & Answers] Neoony:
By the way, this guy in that youtube video "F ali". I believe is the guy from that SRS root, who was owner of its social stuff and kept hiding posts of users on its social sites.

I would probably never download such thing from any youtube video.

I smell a virii or something in that way, since its all connected.

SRS root:

Here is the facebook page: facebook.com/SRSROOT/info/?tab=page_owners

And the probably official one: facebook.com/pages/SRS-root/435150479989981

There is srsroot.com (google alert)

and there is srs-root.com (seems the official one)

His name on the facebook is "Scientist Ali"...the name of the guy on the youtube video is "F Ali"...What do you think?

I have no idea if any of the stuff I posted is official from SRS root, but I smell a scam because there are multiples of the official sites but with a tiny change in url. One srs root might be real but outdated...this guy provides apparently updated one, but its all looking like a scam. He even had threads closed here on XDA because of not giving credits, because its a work of somebody else.

The latest "official" srs root seems to be version 4.7 (2015-05-25) Download by the official facebook stated that its here: annesoft.com/SRS_root-s-385694.html

So I really have no idea what this guy provides and why would he be hiding posts on its social media, unless he is very nicely using the advantage of phones without any real root to gather people and spread viruses or scams.

BTW I still didnt find on any of his related sites a single person saying any of it works.

Smells VERY fishy to me.
[Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo Questions & Answers] WILMANS2M:
To me too. I prefer waiting for a working method found by some great people here. Thanks anyway.

To make this more clear.

This file: sm-g903f_prepared_boot_511.tar

Is supposed to UNLOCK your phone, not ROOT. Probably country/SIM unlock.

Seems to be working for people on forums like gsmarena, but as I said...for unlocking.

Always check if the threads arent about unlocking rather than rooting.

Especially because there is a TON of threads about g903f UNLOCK.

To make things even more clear.

This file:

http://www.easy-firmware.com/index.p...=file&id=10631

pass:easy-firmware.com

Contains the above file: sm-g903f_prepared_boot_511.tar

And so does the one from joker-soft.com

Its all the same file with the exact same size to the byte. (unless its supposed to have this exact size)

Also look at comments in this video, which is the joker-soft one: youtube.com/watch?v=t6zqEFvIMbU

No positive reports.

There is something very fake about this all.

things are going right? triangle is gone after flashing boot.img
[Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo Questions & Answers] chris-t-an:
so, sadly, there still isn't any ''official'' root method available...
[Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo Questions & Answers] androidissime:
I am just waiting a while to see whats happen :D
[Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo Questions & Answers] davbra98:
Root

About SRS Root I triede it 2 times (Version 5.1 which is the newest).

It doesn't work.

Maybe I'll try the solution of the YouTube Viedo.

Watched Kingroot right now our phone is on place 793 in the waiting queue
[Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo Questions & Answers] Neoony:
If you really feel like testing this stuff, try doing "reset FRP" if such option is gonna be available.

This guy from joker-soft keeps saying that to the people who say it doesnt work.

From video comments: youtube.com/watch?v=t6zqEFvIMbU

EDIT: Its a paid feature though. + I think u need some kind of cable/box for the z3x thing. :(

So I guess, disregard the frp thing (factory reset protection)

----

The same option is available in Chimera tool if I remember right.

chimeratool.com/downloads

(Tryed chimera, didnt work, I didnt try that frp reset though and now my trial license is gone.)

But as I said, all the current "solutions" here seem very questionable/unsafe (including srs root), so be aware of that. (and read few posts back if you didnt already)

woow i'm impressed, no gutts no glory, u r the MAN :cowboy:
[Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo Questions & Answers] davbra98:
I wanted to try the Method of the YouTube Video right now.

But I get the same Error like someone in the description and the programm doesn't find the phone.

PS: Seems like Samsung is rolling out another Updates for our phone. It should be already available for Poland, Switzerland and Luxembourg
[Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo Questions & Answers] androidissime:
after the first reboot (after flashing img) one or two hours later the triangle has reappeared :mad:

since I've reboot an other time (ten hours now), it seems to have disappeared

I'm keeping my fingers crossed... :fingers-crossed:

Hey guys, can you rate your camera from 0 to 10?

I don't know if it`s me, my camera or my imagination but it is disappointing me too much.

I give it a 5 out of 10.

I even have for the first time since my first smartphone, purchased a camera app, and still it's kind of crap. Same about the music quality. First time ever I buy an app for the music, actually two apps, Poweramp and Stellio, and still it's crap compared to my old S3.

To the sound quality I give it a 4 out of 10.

Still 2 weeks to try it and return it to Amazon and I'm still full of doubts. It's faster, the screen is great... and that's all the advantages over my S3. And I hate to miss the sound quality of the S3, it's every day that I listen to music on the earphones and every day that I miss it...

Plus I prefer the 4.8" size of the S3.

Sorry for venting my frustrations )

Cheers (Please rate your camera and sound)
[Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo Questions & Answers] Neoony:
I also had to restart phone multiple times.

Or maybe it was when I was playing around with OEM unlock option in developer settings and then restarting few times.

Or maybe the bloatware I disabled (Package disabler PRO, no root needed), but I think it dissapeared before I did that.

Didnt have to do any flashing.
[Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo Questions & Answers] kbytek:
U means Sound from earphone?

Sounds really good. No problem here (i use stellio). I use my smartphone for music a lot. I don't use the earphone coming with s5 neo but an old pair of earphone from Lg.

Camera? Camera it's a good camera, maybe an excellent camera (night and daylights).

If u talk about the speaker sound I give a 6 but if u talk about sound in earphone i give an 8.
[Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo Questions & Answers] kaodd:
i am totally agree with u, very nice phone. I miss my old S3 too. Easy root and a lot of ROMS. The sound

was ok, but with VIPER it was SUPER.

[Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo Questions & Answers] Neoony:
Hmm, strange...

I think this phone has the best speaker that I had in a phone..my last phone was galaxy s2 plus though. (hard to compare as I had some custom stuff on that phone)

This one actually has a bass ( the whole phone kinda vibrates on bass xD , I dont think I ever had a phone with such noticable bass on the speaker)

Its a lot more colorful and fuller sound than any phone I heard, regarding the speaker. ( drum and bass doesnt actually sound that bad, lol )

But the goddamn notification about ear damage on high volume with earplugs is extremely pissing me off.

Everytime I plug in the earphones I have to increase the volume and then press OK to increase it any further. Below that volume is usually too low.

So I cant just plug the headphones and listen, I have to always click that goddamn OK button xD

I really wish I could turn it off. (cant wait for custom ROMs)

BTW I use PowerAmp for music and Camera ZoomFX for photos. Best apps ever.

I barely even touched camera with this phone, so I cant rate.

But I have been reading that compared to original S5, it has more realer look of the photos. They are less saturated and such, but that might appear worse or less attractive to most people.
[Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo Questions & Answers] pxp3:
My S3 with a sound enhancer I got here in XDA is so loud that I can't play it at the maximum, it hurts my inner ears, and the quality is great. That is why I am so indecisive. The Neo is very poor at the side of the S3. Not the default S3 but the rooted S3 with that sound enhancer.

Except for the camera and sound, the Neo is to me the best and most complete phone. The 9 hours screen battery, the amazing screen, the speed, the water resistance, the fm radio, the replaceable battery, the microSD, and now even the new touchwiz, which is wonderful, full of features, nobody offers all that much and so good quality, at half price than worse ones.

It's just me and my missing the S3 sound on my earphones every day. In fact, I use my phones more for the music and radio than for anything else.
[Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo Questions & Answers] wobbler611:
If you are talking about the security notice then you do get it once more after flashing back to the stock boot.img. I don't know why. It should disappear for good though.
[Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo Questions & Answers] androidissime:
yes it has for my best pleasure ;)
[Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo Questions & Answers] Neoony:
Does it show "secured" in your security KNOX settings after you scan?
[Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo Questions & Answers] androidissime:
I just did it; it seems to be ok

for me it's "sécurisé" :good:
[Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo Questions & Answers] pxp3:
I found a trick to super boost the music volume.

For some reason, the FM radio has a much higher volume output than the music players. And for some reason, the system will not close the player if you open the FM radio at the same time. This works with Stellio player and not with the default Samsung player. I haven't tried with other players.

Just play Stellio and then open the radio FM. It will super boost. But you will hear the two of them at the same time. Try to find an empty spot in the frequencies with no noise or little noise, and that's it. Super boost music, finally. And good quality. With Stellio equalizer the Preamp at maximum, the Pro and Limit buttons on, it rocks.

Give it a try.

S5 Neo non rooted

I'm happy now: Totally debloated my device (http://xdaforums.com/note5/general/guide-bloating-touchwizzing-note-5-t3184563), System

backup with SDK Manager (http://www.techrepublic.com/article/how-to-create-a-full-backup-of-your-android-device-without-root/) .

But i'm still missing Xposed :crying:

Now i can wait for Root :)

"I think you will agree that patience is a virtue :D"

(not too long anyway ! :( )

have you some list of system apps safe to remove ?

thx
[Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo Questions & Answers] kaodd:
look at the website, there u will find everything.

don't use the heavy list.

patience is my surname :))
[Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo Questions & Answers] androidissime:
yes, I saw the list on the post,

I just did a backup with the SDK manager method; it's quite long and my backup is only 360 Mo

I think I lost something because I have a bunch of app installed plus the basis :o

I will do it again :)
[Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo Questions & Answers] kaodd:
i really don't know what files are in the backup.

mine is 480 mb and i have around 70 apps.
[Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo Questions & Answers] androidissime:
maybe it's allright, I have around 60 apps istalled but some are "light" so....

I think that when you do a restore, you restore all, you cann't chose what you want (same for backup)

I could most probably disable few more things.....some other time. :D

btw, I have about 140+ apps installed and its all running perfectly with this phone.

I sometimes reach near full levels of RAM, but it was never a problem, nor did it ever fail at anything because of full RAM.

I only once in a while (like once a day) kill the tasks with task manager and thats all. Or if I sometimes open too many of the inactive apps, which arent constantly used.

But running multiple apps and switching between them is quite nice with this phone.

I have yet to try some of the things in that guide that was posted few posts back :D

Help on changing LTE band

Hi guys!

Let's see if they can help me change LTE bands of my phone ...

I have a G903F purchased in Spain and the bands used are not compatible with the carriers of Argentina. Here I should use a G903M using Band28-700MHz, Band4-AWS.

The question is .... can be very dangerous to make a flash with Odin, one of G903M firm in my G903F?

And if working, would enable the necessary bands for LTE of Argentina?

Thank you all for your help and expertise!

r u using greenify?
[Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo Questions & Answers] androidissime:
I did not do it yet

but I have a very weird thing: I do again a backup with the same method and my backup is not 300 Mo but 8.26 Go !! (I do it twice and same result); the biggest backup is (when I look at the phone during bkup) "shared storage" which take maybe more than 6 Go; dont you think it is backing up my ext-sdcard or what ?

thank you for the list, I will look at it :good:

[Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo Questions & Answers] Neoony:
Just take care that there are also some basic apps disabled because I use custom ones, things like sms, calendar, launcher, gallery, music or etc...

Everyone should still go through the list and decide what he needs or uses or not, its rather very specific to a user.
[Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo Questions & Answers] androidissime:
This goes without saying :)

but as you do not uninstall apps (no root), just "frozen" them, you can reinstall as you like with package disabler apk

For my understanding, what's the reason there's no root solution for the Galaxy S5 Neo? Is it the fact that it's running 5.1.1 by default?

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo Questions & Answers] kaodd:
Yeah my friend we all waiting for root, but it looks like the S5 Neo is not pop enough for the developers. And yes it's 5.1.1 by default and we will get

6.0.1 in I/2016.

Back to reallity: I'm thinking root for this device it's like "a Diamond in a Goats ass" - you will never find one :).

But you never know. Xmas is coming soon. Optimistic and patience that what we are. ;)

I like the device anyway.

Nooby regards

[Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo Questions & Answers] Neoony:
I hope it will get more popular.

Many dutch shops dont even offer any other variations of S5, other than Neo. Its also quite good price 330€-380€

I hope there will be one a bit after half year since release, which was in August I believe.
[Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo Questions & Answers] lolotito:
Hi guys

I really reached my patience limit with no root on this device.

I use it a half of what i use before my galaxy I9100

I really miss root a lot. Years with rooted mobiles and now without it is like a one hand tied use of....

Yes, i know i can sell it blablabla but like others around here i like this mobile and the features of it...

Well, do you think with android marshmallow update of next year this issue may have a sooner solution? ?

Yep, just keep the patience.

I also need root for tons of stuff.

If you cant keep atleast half a year patience, better get already rootable phone then, next time.

But I do have hope, and I can see this model getting more popular and "root demanding".

Especially if there is android 6.0 coming.
[Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo Questions & Answers] pxp3:
This is ridiculous. My battery is lasting 10-11 hours of active screen.

It lasted 9h but since I forced closing of apps in the smart manager app, it lasts one or two hours more.

I wonder why this is not advertised as the big thing it is. It's double than the best ones and nobody knows about it when the world is crying for longer lasting batteries.

Strange.
