[Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo Questions & Answers] kylebell192:
Hey guys, as you might or might not know a couple of S5 neo's have been updated with the latest security patch, and as i am a little impatient i have installed the Netherlands software on my S5 neo giving it the latest security patch which is 1st march 2017, i have a BTU british unlocked S5 NEO so i can install any countrys firmware with no problems as long as it is the SM-G903F Variant.

Just thought i would share with you incase any one else wants to do the same instead of waiting for the update ?

Hi guys,

Recently i rooted the new netherlands firmware, and there seems to be a very tiny problem im having.

Every so often a pop up will say " unfortunately personal data management has stopped" its quite rare when it does show but is is something i should be worried about?

And is there a fix for this?

Cheers guys :)

Did you have the problem like you described about half a year ago with w file stack on s5 neo screen?
[Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo Questions & Answers] kaodd:
can't even remember, seems like i have a brain problem too. there was some changes in chainfire thread, autoroot for 903f 6.0.1 just

dissapeared, but another file works for f, m, w 6.0.1. for now it's just 903w 6.0.1 left.
[Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo Questions & Answers] HighFidelity2k:
Well, i dont know how you did it. If you did it 2 days ago... Flashing w file stucks on s5 neo screen for 1hour+.

The g903f file above is 5.1.1, at least it installs, but doesnt root in the end.
[Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo Questions & Answers] davbra98:
I've uploaded the file I've flashed and the Odin Version here: http://www.mediafire.com/file/pm2nooa70plwo5u/root.rar

Just added the file in AP and clicked start. It worked without any problems
[Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo Questions & Answers] HighFidelity2k:
Thanks, rooting SEEMS to work, but my problem is somewhere else. The supersu app is not correctly installed, some apps work, some don't. maybe it has something to do with systemless root... Oem unlock, usb debugging etc. Is all enabled.
[Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo Questions & Answers] davbra98:
Did you disable the "mount namespace separation" option in SuperSu ?
[Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo Questions & Answers] kaodd:
it's systemless superSU ? AFAIK is superSU 2.7.4 the one who works 100 %, on some devices works 2.7.9 too.

u should go in the HowTo thread!
[Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo Questions & Answers] HighFidelity2k:
Yes.

In supersu the option "install to /system" is greyed out. Not available in systemless root.

Apps2sd pro app works with root.
[Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo Questions & Answers] kaodd:
u r on sammy stock? download superSU.zip and flash with twrp. dump systemless if u can, dunno.

latest stock BQC1.
[Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo Questions & Answers] HighFidelity2k:
The following happened: i deleted the Apps2SD App mount script and uninstalled wanams xposed via official uninstaller in twrp. One of it helped. I found it anyway strange, that installing xposed stealed about 1GB of internal memory and, when clearing dalvik with xposed, there were ALL apps optimized at reboot. Now, without xposed, only 100 apps are optimized. Well i try to reflash xposed later. But for now:

Root is fully working!!!

Thank you guys a lot!

BTW, davbra98: where did you get the working file from? Maybe from chainfires site, but at an earlier date?
[Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo Questions & Answers] davbra98:
Yes I downloaded it a few days after I upgraded to Android 6 from chainfire's site

Hi

Just a question: are you able to read NTFS drives? I tried with two different external hard drives via USB OTG and both result as "damaged". I made a deep chkdsk (twice) on both, same result. Paragon NTFS doesn't work, as it cannot set Selinux as permissive.

I guess it's a kernel issue.
[Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo Questions & Answers] WILMANS2M:
Go to the how-to thread. Both custom kernels are selinux permissive enable.

Just got a free upgrade from my old s5 to a new s5 neo.

Seems like a slight improvement, however there are a couple of annoying little changes I was hoping there are fixes for.

1) No option to toggle data on/off in the drop down menu. No idea why they took this out... very annoying to always go into settings to turn it on or off. Is there any way to add it back?

2) There's no longer an option to turn off the touch key lights at the bottom of the phone. Would like to turn them off to save battery. Is this still possible somehow?

Thanks for any help!
[Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo Questions & Answers] Lex_Corp:
For #1 and 3 you can download the good lock APK from APK mirror. I have it installed and it works great

I think there is the mobile data on/off toggle as in any samsung phone, maybe you can try to tap on the modify icon and change the toggles' order

Actually I vaguely remember doing this on my old s5 when I got it years ago. Only problem is when I click on settings.db it's blank. So not sure where to go from here.

Edit: Ok so some people are saying that I need to flash a different kernel in order to access settings.db. I have no idea what a good kernel is or which kernels are safe for my phone (903W). Any help?
[Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo Questions & Answers] gergy:
For #2 I use Galaxy Button Lights from the Google Play store.

For #3, my stock Music Player has a setting 'Control via lock screen'.

I saw that as one possibility. It links to the cosmin kernel for marshmallow. I have no idea if it's any good though or how it will change my phone exactly. Have you or anyone else here used it?
[Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo Questions & Answers] WILMANS2M:
Cosmin or mine should work. G03F and 903W are kernel compatible.

Cool thanks it worked.

Still can't access settings.db to add this damn data toggle to the drop down menu though.
[Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo Questions & Answers] kylebell192:
1. Pull the notification bar all the way down and it should be there

2. Key light at the botton should not work as long as you turn on power saving mode, again refer to number 1 and it will be there.

3. Make sure your phone is fully updated to the latest firmware by going to settings > about device > software update

I hope this helps

Hi,

Can someone tell me if the "Bluetooth" app on sm-g903f is "not installed" by default? Im asking because i always had bluetooth and sound problems, and now im not sure if others have the app installed (settings, app manager, show system apps). Only things i have installed are: Bluetooth Midi Service, Bluetooth Test and Bluetooth Share.
[Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo Questions & Answers] fracarol:
I do have just those 3 apps and it works fine

What kind of problems do you have?
[Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo Questions & Answers] HighFidelity2k:
I have problems with Bluetooth connected audio devices. The sound stutters sometimes, and after some hours, the "system does not respond" dialog pops up. It was even worse with xposed or magisk installed, it broke root if i had a wrong cf-root-file installed.

Why should they give you root access to your device, that would at least brick your warrant.

And if they wanted to help you, there would be a official way for rooting. ;)
[Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo Questions & Answers] NotGrump903:
So guys, i think i'm on a good way, i have successfully set up a build enviroment, downloaded CM Sourcecode and was able to pull build.prop via adb. Next step is to dump the boot.img and edit the boardconfig file.

I'll give you another update when i'm a few steps further. :D

Locked out of Galaxy S5 Neo, no Wifi, can I flash something?

The Wifi stopped working on my Canadian Galaxy S5 Neo (G903W) yesterday. It would turn off, and couldn't turn on or connect, and nothing would bring it back. Finally I did a hard factory reset, but after rebooting the phone said there was an unauthorized factory reset and it needed to connect to wifi to verify my identity. But the wifi still doesn't work, so now I can't get into the phone at all. Ahhh!

Is there a different ROM or something that I can try flashing (through Odin) that might let me back in and perhaps even restore wifi? I'm willing to go with a 3rd party ROM as long as it's stable. But maybe I just need root access, or something else? Please help! Thank you.

I am not rooted, just using stock firmware, Android 6.0.1. I did a hard reset after booting into recovery mode. I'm happy with stock and don't need to be rooted.

Interestingly, over the past 24 hours the wifi functionality seems to be slowly reviving, so I might be okay in the end. But if not, what would you recommend? Could rooting or flashing a custom kernel or ROM solve the issue?
