issues

Hi guys, that's my first post, I got an S5 neo, I'm happy with it, but I wanted to do some little customization and I flashed WiLiteNeo on it (after flashing other near stock roms on it and getting it very unstable). Right, my experience is that battery is lasting less than with stock rom, the phone is slower, more on recovery from sleep, and I am not more able to receive SMS. So I'm turning back to stock rom. What's wrong with that? I did a wipe before flashing, i flashed permisive kernel, i wiped 2 times the dalvik cache, but issues still remains. Any help?

Hi!

I'm on stock rom 5.1.1 and I want to update to Marshmallow what happens is that for my country (Portugal) the only firmware 6.0 available is from an operator (not my operator) and it must be full of bloatware (file size = 1,5GB) so I come to you guys asking if there is any clean firmware that i can use on my phone from another country but not linked to any carrier?

Cheers

start with the beginning :) - flash sammy stock with odin, flash cf-autoroot, flash twrp = stock rom, rootet with custom recovery

everything should working fine :)

WiLite needs little bit work and a new kernel (wilmans is working with that)

have u tried SamFirm and download a new rom ?
[Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo Questions & Answers] Fantasmorto:
The rom that comes with my phone (TPH) has no carrier bloatware. I've tried the only 6.0.1 for Portugal (Vodafone) but it fails to flash almost when it's completed flashed :(

Yes, tried to flash MM 6.0.1 TLC (Vodafone Portugal) but with no luck

I have a question... i have the 903w (canadian version) of this phone...

What i was initially wondering is, I was looking into custom recovery and noticed alot about the bootloader. but i am rooted. does root access mean the bootloader is already unlocked?? which custom recovery is recommended for my version?

Also what im wondering, is for my version, which rom would be the regular rom that it comes with from the store.... samsung with touchwiz, the works. I know i can factory reset. would my best bet be to factory reset (if i wont lose root, and bootloader unlock if in fact it is unlocked) and then create a backup of that factory reset??

Also just thinking now, if i were to factory reset... OEM unlock would be set to off, which would mess up the rooting and therefore the whole system... wouldnt it? Ive read that once rooted if you re-disable oem unlock that youre in for a brick.

any advice would be greatly appreciated.

[Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo Questions & Answers] kaodd:
oki, don't touch OEM unlock or u will die a painfull

dead :laugh: dunno what u really want ?

make a reset and start again :cyclops:

my choice: find the latest MM rom with SamFirm

and flash with odin, cf-autoroot, twrp, DONE :good:

ofc after reset :laugh:
[Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo Questions & Answers] Pawprints1986:
Thing is, if possible anyway... I'd rather keep the version I'm on now, cuz I'd really like to keep the blue toggles and notification drawer.

I know I could theme but the themes all use these ugly bubble things for all but the factory icons which I also hate the look of Lol. (Literally the regular icon shrunk into a bubble.)

Is twrp able to be flashed as long as you're rooted? I haven't read enough about boot loader yet and don't want to break anything that way.

For now I'm basically happy if I can find an app that removes and restores system apps properly, and get that custom recovery on there.

Then at least I could install from this back up and there only 1 thing broken.

If I made a back up of what I'm using right now, as long as oem unlock it's allowed, am I safe that way? Or would factory reset/wiping data and then restoring a backup of this still allow OEM unlock as long as I didn't let it boot into factory os before flashing my backup?

Still a fairly new rooted user here. Don't understand the newer device aspects.
[Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo Questions & Answers] kaodd:
which rom u r using, LP or MM? u can flash TWRP anyway root or not :cool:

[Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo Questions & Answers] davbra98:
I don't know where the problem is with OEM Unlock. I use my phone with OEM Unlock allowed since almost a year without any problems.

With TWRP you can make a Nandroid Backup and restore it anytime as long as you get into recovery mode
[Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo Questions & Answers] Pawprints1986:
But have you ever factory reset with OEM unlock though. That's what I was meaning. If you reset and want to use your phones initial programming/OS, but you're rooted and that OEM unlock would relock on you... Aren't you effed in that case?
[Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo Questions & Answers] davbra98:
No I've never factory reseted my phone but I know from other phones, that root disappears after factory reset. Developer options will be hidden too after that.

So there is no problem if OEM Unlock relocks after factory reset because after a factory reset root will be gone too.
[Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo Questions & Answers] kaodd:
do a reset, no prob with OEM unlock. but make a nandroid backup before !! u will lost root and twrp, just flash after reset with odin

i don't even know which rom u have

No rom currently, just whatever it came out of the package with.

Still working on getting twrp installed, after I replace mtp application which someone is helping with in another thread.

Also can't try titanium backup to make sure it will properly both remove and restore system apps for me before bothering to do a factory reset.

So, why does it lose root on reset? My captivate glide never did... I reinstalled my ROM with custom recovery too, didn't lose anything. Is this to do with that new Knox protection?
[Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo Questions & Answers] davbra98:
You can install TWRP easily by flashing the .img.tar file with Odin.

You loose root on a factory reset, because everything will be reset (the system partition too). After a factory reset the phone is completly cleard. It's like the first time you started it.

KNOX doesn't matter in this case. KNOX only tells you if warranty is void or not.

Man, u r searching for probs, but there r no probs ;) what that means: u have no rom !! u have stock rom i think ?! dl twrp.tar and flash with odin.

[Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo Questions & Answers] Pawprints1986:
Does it have to be done through Odin? My stock recovery let's me install from SD card... Just cuz I had a hell of a time getting Odin to see it to root it, between 2 different computers and 2 different windows versions.

Can I keep my lollipop (and therefore blue controls) with any of the roms available?

Is anyone able to explain why my older phone didn't lose root or custom recovery on a factory reset, but this one would? That part still confused me. I've redone that phone a few times, never had to reroot it. But did in fact factory reset it, at least twice.
[Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo Questions & Answers] davbra98:
I don't know where the Problem with Odin is. You just download the .exe and run it. Boot you device in Download Mode and flash the file.

Anyway if you don't like Odin and you have root you can use Flashify to flash the recovery, but you will need the .img file instead of the .img.tar

I think if you download the old ROM versions you should be able to use them on lolipop too.

Reroot after doing the factory reset does not take long you just flash the .zip and it's done.
[Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo Questions & Answers] Pawprints1986:
I don't honestly get the Odin problem either... It had me frustrated for a good 2 hours, a couple weeks ago when I rooted. Finally by what seemed like random chance Odin saw my phone, and that's when I flashed the root. Haven't had time to try again yet for recovery, maybe it somehow would be easier, this time around?
[Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo Questions & Answers] davbra98:
Strange, I never had problems with Odin untill now. Have you installed Samsung Kies 3 on your PC ? Like I wrote before the alternative is Flashify.
[Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo Questions & Answers] kaodd:
check samsung usb driver are ok, stop kies - better uninstall, use odin 3.11 the newest and run as admin ! check the usb cabel or try another

Unfortunately i won't root and TWRP because i still have almost 2 years of warranty and since there's no way of doing that without tripping Knox i have to stay "clean", lol

Flashing the Rom that i've downloaded will not void my warranty (tripping Knox) or will it?

Hello guys! I just bought a samsung s5 neo version sm-g903f and so far it's working great except for one thing: I can't watch 1080p 60fps videos on youtube. The video keeps playing, there's sound, but image freezes after a few seconds. I can skip ahead, it plays for a few seconds, then it freezes again. Same thing happens on twitch when I want to watch on source quality, it just freezes, but there's sound.

Hello guys!

I was wondering if there is any way to home sim unlock this s5 neo. I am changing my provider and I think those 50€ vodafone is asking me for it is just too much. I found cheaper sources but I don't really know if they deliver or not.

I look through the forum but I couldn't find anything specific. I know that there once was a post here about this...or maybe I was dreaming.

It's locked on vodafone- Romania

Disabling the hardware overlays seems to work so far, even though I only let it play for about 30 seconds because I'm not on wifi atm. Will also try twitch when I get home. Thing is, this is pretty weird because I did both of these options a while back, together with enabling the 4x msaa (all settings active at the same time) and it didn't work. Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo Questions & Answers] RedXon:
I've also had this problem for a long time, and never found a fix. It's such a dealbraker, that I have considered buying a new phone...

Samsung and Google are somewhat aware of this, as there are multiple threads in their support forums with a few posts from devs, dating back to 2013 and the galaxy S3, but also affecting the S4, the S5 (neo) and even the S6. But no one has found a fix that lasted. All that you could do is resetting the youtube app and clearing cache and stuff, which sometimes helped for about half a week, before it happened again. I even tried factory resets and stuff. I'll try custom roms next to see if it could just be the bloated stock rom.

Unfortunately, forcing GPU rendering and disabling hardware overlays has not worked; it has made my device laggy and choppy, but the videos still behave the same way as before.

It seems that it's somewhat based on sheer luck; most people don't have the issue, but some have and are unable to get rid of it.
[Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo Questions & Answers] :
It's going fairy well it's better that S5 neo even with deodex but it might be due to its way to force closing apps while screen is locked :)

Nope. As soon as I got home, tried on wifi and it froze again.
