[Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo Questions & Answers] phatryde:
Finished rooting my G903W with the G903F cf auto root file.

Is there a Custom Recovery compatible with the S5 NEO? and would Xposed Framework work once I install a custom recovery…

I'm just so tired from google searching for hours after I finally got the phone rooted I'm now stuck on trying to find a recovery mod haha good grief.
[Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo Questions & Answers] :
Hehe yes this is common issue [emoji14] read many people who installed 32 bit while 64 is needed.

No custom recovery atm at least not built from source. Xposed been archived but it's complex method. So yes
[Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo Questions & Answers] lolotito:
Hi again guys

Maybe someone can tell me what's happening...

Yesterday I was trying to install xposed in my g903f with the "dirty" way that was posted in these thread too some posts ago I think.

Well I'm blocked at the second step because for some reason when I decompress the zip firmware downloaded from sammobile (last one added) is OK, but when I try to do the same with the *.tar.md5 the program (universal extractor) returns me an error like "that's an unknown extension" and the job can't be resolved.

I tried to download again the firmware, (maybe the file was corrupted downloading it or something I thought) but I've got the same error. Then I tried to download another firmware (the same that's installed now in my g903f)

Nothing changes, I extract the zip kernel well but then the tar.md5 file can't be decompressed. Same error again.

May someone have an idea about what's going on?

Thanks in advance guys for this and for all the job you're doing for this mobile. :thumbup:;)

It's maybe a good idea because as a beginner I know what I missed in other guides.

I can't see the videos that i take with the camera, it appear in gallery but it won't display anything.

My partner has the same model s5 neo and i rooted it either and the same happens with his phone
[Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo Questions & Answers] :
Which device model you have. And which cf auto root you used?

Seems like an app bug. Can you try clear data of the app?
[Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo Questions & Answers] @Jarocookies:
Hello there, I would try merging all DCIM and video & pictures files from both internal and external storage into either the int/extsdcard where photos are stored

today. You may delete the empty folders to prevent this from happening again, since I guess you have double folders on your phone.

All that is shown in the Gallery is a thumbnail but it links to another folder.

The other thing is that after I rooted the Neo it wouldn't let Titanium Backup write any backups to the SDcard. So maybe you can check previous threads about 903f read/write problems if your videos still don't show.
[Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo Questions & Answers] WILMANS2M:
[MENTION=6939562]lolotito[/MENTION] : My bad. Right click on 1modext4.bat and select "modify", and in "Deodex\log" delete "log". Should be fine after this.

Hey thanks for your answers, I've tried to clean cache and data. Tried too that you said: i copy the folders in internal and external storage , then only in the internal and then the same with the external.. deleting the empty folders and that stuff but is not solving the problem :(

I'm not sure that is a r/w problem cause titanium works for me restoring the apk's data at least
[Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo Questions & Answers] @Jarocookies:
Maybe I should tell you that my video files never had that problem and TB's had auto-sync and backup restore activated by default which created the write problem.

Could it be in camera/settings/storage for video and photos?

Good luck!

If you get errors you can ask me maybe I know how to fix them.
[Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo Questions & Answers] :
Hmm that's unusual but not hard

Yes. At leat Knox void not sure if warranty will be void some users claimed they got it on warranty. I Guess it's up to where you get it from. And which service center. In my country. If you purchased a career specific phone, it goes first to the career service center if they can't fix it. Then it goes to Samsung service.

Kaodd you're never too old for anything :) you can Still do great things. Trust me.

What was the issue.

Cool never heard of that issue.

I have Ubuntu x64 but not going to download xxGb for now. To little space (can fixed) but the download will take ages and my workstation is bad.

I can steal a 100/100 network from time to time then I can download everything from 2mb/s to 12mb/s at least it's the highest speed achieved yet lol.

@lolotito : As i explained here (http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=64687451&postcount=175), i think it's better to use sparsechunk2img, instead of imgextractor converter, using this command : sparse2img system.img systemfix.img

Sparsechunck2img keeps original file properties and can be directly opened/saved through linux reader which is not the case using imgextractor.

You choose but....
[Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo Questions & Answers] @Jarocookies:
The TB problem was that you can't create new backups!I fixed it by deactivating auto sync in settings.

The last thing I thought about is you may have thumbnails data stored that create this no video issue, you could delete all thumbnail images and thumbnail data folders but only after you copied the originals and store them elsewhere. Now reboot and open the Gallery and let it create all thumbnails and data new. I'm in the Netherlands and you might have another firmware I can't tell you if it still happened in 2015 but there used to be different provider - >different firmware issues, for example you'd have TMobile and Vodafone where Tmo had software and hardware issues that didn't occur in identical Vodafone provided phones.

Hey guys,

there are so many pages and I can't find an answer.

Is there now any possibility to root our S5 Neo without tripping knox?

e.g. via Towelroot?

Thanks for your help.

PS: I don't know if I should buy the S5 Neo because there are not so possibility e.g. custom roms?

Whaaoooo ! u did that ? feels like there is nothing left on my phone ;). I don't know, over the top maybe ?

[Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo Questions & Answers] @Jarocookies:
My device (after root) only had that TB writing backup issue because of default auto-restore after a wipe setting and when I unchecked the box for that function it was okay.

The Spanish guy has two similar devices rooted but has trouble on both and that's why I'm interested. Thanks for reading.

P. S. I have installed busybox pro because the description of cf autoroot specifically said that only the SU app was installed or something close to that because I can't find the installation instructions here.

I'm just summing up all things that come up thinking about it.
[Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo Questions & Answers] WILMANS2M:
i did 3/4 of those debloating files yeah. About modifying apk, i didn't do it since my sgs2. I found roms which fits well my goals so....And now, with xposed, all is good :)

I just need to take time now to try to build a cwm. Need to install debian first.
[Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo Questions & Answers] kaodd:
thx man, take the time u need :). can't wait for cwm
[Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo Questions & Answers] :
you don't need pro version for it. well it's good to sum up. however I don't know why he got issues. must be a bug

modifying apk is fun however what we can achieve is another thing

patience is good. we can't give up but building takes time.

a good thing is to try port twrp from j7 use same chipset

ok so it comes to my attention that I got the video issue too. which is strange.

because it worked afterwards so maybe it's being corrupt after reboot?

well it only rom & not the recovery, just will bootloop or bad display.

If recovery = > maybe brick if not the same block. And if you don't have access to download mode anymore....no more flash
[Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo Questions & Answers] :
indeed

worst scenario bootloop,

well not if they try port a rom, since it won't touch bl at any case. and afaik the partition table is much the same. only thing is that it might be hard due to slight difference in HW

but it's better to build from sources though,
[Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo Questions & Answers] WILMANS2M:
I agree. Dunno about hw. Will try next week. I installed twrp through "Flashify". Works great :)
[Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo Questions & Answers] :
Well there is no cm Rom for j7 what I've seen.

But in j7 their info gives some slight different info about the processor

see:

EDIT: Exynos 7420 is samsung s6 processor, what is this :eek: :confused:

ro.product.brand=Samsung

ro.product.board=j7elte

# ro.product.cpu.abi and ro.product.cpu.abi2 are obsolete,

# use ro.product.cpu.abilist instead.

ro.product.cpu.abi=arm64-v8a

ro.product.cpu.abilist=armeabi-v7a,armeabi

WANNA CUSTOM ROM, huh huh huh ;(
[Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo Questions & Answers] :
you can do it the other way, create a flashable zip, add some execution to updater-script and it will execute installation of supersu as it would do when you do a normal zip installation of su :P

i've done it before don't remember how though haha :P

has to do with extraction to tmp and more :P
[Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo Questions & Answers] WILMANS2M:
mmhh yep. But before is before. Since 5.1+ and new system-less from chainfire, it is more complicated. Must check s6 custom rom ;)
[Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo Questions & Answers] :
Mm no ,

You need to point it to a sh file

You can pretty much extract all files needed and add it to a folder point so that updater-script executes the sh file (which both chainfire and Xposed work)

Then you need make it successfully extract the files so the script can do its magic.

This is done specially if you etc do a system.img flash which doesn't contain root but you want a aio zip [emoji14]
