[Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo Questions & Answers] MCMarsBoyee:
Hello.

So recently, I wanted to uninstall Magisk to experiment further with my phone. I had no experience with SuperSU or custom ROMs and wanted to try it out. I went to uninstall Magisk, but instead restoring the full stock firmware, I uninstalled Magisk root. To fix this, I thought I would need to re-flash Magisk and have it wipe its partition or whatever it's called of the device so that SuperSU can root it. So I went to recovery mode by pressing power button + volume up + home button (I have TWRP recovery installed and it was working since the previous week), however, it just went on a boot loop for 5-10 minutes. I tried taking off the battery, but TWRP would not load after. So I tried to turn the device on. It went on a bootloop. I went to the mode where you download a custom OS (volume down + power button + home button) to "cancel" the process and restart the device. It worked, and my device restarted properly.

Now here is when I become a big idiot. I went on the TWRP app (I don't remember if I made it a system app or not) and found that all of its root options were still there. I go on other apps that rely on root; Greenify, Servicely, etc, and they functioned without telling me that my root was gone. So I downloaded the latest version of TWRP and "flashed" it through the TWRP app. I then rebooted my phone. It went on a bootloop.

I tried the methods I mentioned above, but the phone wouldn't start. Since I was away for 5 days without a computer, I kept trying. I tried to remove the battery for intervals of 5 minutes, 10 minutes, half an hour to put it back and then to turn it on. I repeated booting to recovery, regularly booting and the custom OS "cancel" thing I did after removing the battery for extended periods of time. Nothing worked.

Now I'm back home and trying to fix my phone with a laptop. Bad news is, I got a new laptop, and I haven't connected my phone with it at all, so the laptop doesn't recognize the phone. I tried my old laptop, but it wouldn't recognize my phone either. I installed ADB and Fastboot but it wouldn't recognize the device. I also tried Odin, but it didn't detect the device either. My bootloader is unlocked; I'm pretty sure I left OEM unlocking on before this happened (and USB debugging too). Please help me. I

I know I sound like a complete idiot (and tech noob) but I just want to fix this.

[Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo Questions & Answers] MCMarsBoyee:
Download mode (for some reason) has now finally found my device. Odin can now be used to flash. Should I flash TWRP (since it broke) or should I flash stock ROM (note that the system is still installed on my phone)

Can someone give me best settings for viper4android?
[Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo Questions & Answers] davbra98:
There are no best settings. Every earphone needs different settings to make good sound and everyone has different preferences how music sounds good. Some people like more bass while other people like clear heights.

The best thing will be if you take some time to find the configuration you like most by just testing.

Internet Quality Check

Does anyone know how to turn off Samsung's internet quality check? Tried searching without a satisfactory answer.

I use AFWall+ to block the apps that should not have internet access. When quality check fails to connect, it display an exclamation mark next to the Wi-Fi icon in status bar. It happens when I block AppID : 1000 (Android System, but it contains more apps)

I tried disabling captive_portal_detection_enabled and captive_portal_mode without any luck (it worked in any other instances with Android System blocked). Zapryanovv ROM 2.1 - Nougat 7.0.

Thank you in advance!

Hoping someone can help me out with this.

The little black bar at the top of the screen (which shows battery %, wifi signal, music, etc.) went missing on my homescreen. No idea what happened. It shows up when I have an app open (see screenshot), but is missing on my homescreen.

How can I get this back?
[Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo Questions & Answers] fracarol:
I think the only reason could be that your custom launcher hides it.. in Nova launcher there is the option to hide the status bar so try to give a look to it. If it's not because of the launcher I don't really know what it could be

can be the launcher or wallpaper

My preferred choice would be to have clockworkmod so we can back up our actual firmware and then flash the super su.

How can we ask them to make this possible?

Guys, I am with Canadian carrier Rogers. my s5 neo build is SM-G903W. so far, we do not have a way to root this phone, right? I want to root the phone to use titanium backup. Do you guys know a good backup tool and Bloat App killer unrooted?

Titanium is really good to back up all the App Data (such as all conversation history in Whatspp, Wechat), How do I sync all App data from my old s3 to S5 neo without losing any info?

Did you push busybox too ?
[Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo Questions & Answers] NotGrump903:
Yes, i was even able to do "busybox --install -s /system/xbin" in Terminal Emulator and all the stuff is there.

Just a few screenshots:

I must have missed something... Here is what i have done:

Copied su, busybox and Superuser.apk to adb folder, flashed the prepared boot via Odin, connected phone to the PC again, then typed the following in command prompt:

adb devices

adb root (adbd already running as root)

adb remount -rw (remount succeeded)

adb push su /data/local/tmp

adb push busybox /data/local/tmp

adb push Superuser.apk /data/local/tmp

adb shell (already root)

chmod 6755 /data/local/tmp/su

chmod 755 /data/local/tmp/busybox

chmod 644 /data/local/tmp/Superuser.apk

The nautilus thing described in the link that brought me this far did not work for me, since my build enviroment is dead ^^

I did the following instead:

(Still in adb shell)

mv /data/local/tmp/su /system/xbin

mv /data/local/tmp/busybox /system/xbin

mv /data/local/tmp/Superuser.apk /system/app

Then i rebooted the phone and ran Supersu. I got the output i showed you earlier.

I opened Terminal Emulator and tried "su" command, but got the Java.lang error.

I did the adb remount again and tried installing busybox via "busybox --install -s /system/xbin".

Got errors that it's a read-only filesystem, but the files are in /system/xbin now. Really strange... ^^

As i said, i must have missed something. Or it's simply impossible to root it that way and we really need CWM recovery for our phones.

Edit: I just realised that the files seem to be some kind of shortcut, there is an arrow at the busybox files.

Hi.

Guys I don't really know how this works, but if you succeed on rooting the s5 neo , does that means that you can unlock the limited processor? Is it going to be a faster device that the base s5 version? I still don't know if to sell it or not.

Thanks :)

How come such a difference? I get 9 and you get only 2, that's weird.

Well, I'm talking of 9 hours in a row, as trying it night and days in the first days, so little time to rest like maybe your case.
[Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo Questions & Answers] wobbler611:
The kernel in the boot.img file I uploaded is compiled to have SELinux permissive. TIMA disabled and the Samsung Anti Root features disabled.

This is the default.prop from the rw boot.img file I uploaded, the only thing that isn't set in that is the

persist.service.adb.enable=1

line. I can add it, but I think that is supposed to be set automatically if ro.debuggable is set to 1.

This is what default.prop of the prepared boot looks like :)

You could possibly add those values, then i could try again? :D

Gesendet von meinem SM-G903F mit Tapatalk
[Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo Questions & Answers] wobbler611:
That is how busybox works. It is one script or binary called busybox. All the other things are soft links to the busybox file.
[Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo Questions & Answers] NotGrump903:
Alright, then this seems okay for now.

Big question is why root is not working :D

I even tried flashing your default permissive kernel and try again, but with no effort.

[Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo Questions & Answers] wobbler611:
You seem to be doing better than me. I can't get adb to start as root.

Although I can make the /system folder read/write through changes to the boot.img, the /system/xbin folder is not read/write.

It is mounted at boot time from a partition image on the phone. There is no access to it from boot.img. However if you can get adb shell to run as root user then you should be able to chmod 777 /system/xbin in order to be able to move the su binary Run the busybox install without read-only filesystem errors.

I have prepared the boot.img file again with the changes to the default.prop file.

not sooo bad ! i'm really satisfied !
[Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo Questions & Answers] wobbler611:
I tried a slightly different tack. I repacked the stock recovery image, changing the default.prop file to allow adb to start whilst in recovery. It still won't start as root though. Always starts as the 'shell' user. It is a much simpler environment to work with as the init is very small, compared to a full boot. I will have a bit more of a play later.
[Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo Questions & Answers] NotGrump903:
I found something about file contexts and i found a file in root directory which is called file_contexts.

Perhaps this helps, i don't know.

Seems to be a Script

Edit: There are more files that have this contexts stuff. I'll have a look later :D

Edit 2: Seems that the su binary needs another command called "chcon" with u:object_r:system_file:s0 as value ran over it.

Should be in shell in /system/xbin, then this command:

chcon su u:object_r:system_file:s0

Preferably ran after chmod. Just a theory, but it gets tested tomorrow :)

This phone gives me an headache, have tried so much stuff now, but still no root. I even exactly followed the update script in an update zip, still no effort.

What a challange, i really like it :D

I think we will definitely need a custom recovery for a flashable zip or better an CF Auto-root.

I'll set everything up again completely and try compiling a recovery again, it has a certain haunting quality.

I have read earlier (about other phones) that you may use a custom recovery for a similar phone to install su binaries and then go back to the original recovery.

Do you think it's possible with the Neo? I would like to try, but.... I'm afraid to brick it :( Furthermore we need the custom recovery to make a nandroid backup :p

Hi again. Still testing my new S5Neo and still desperate for the bad quality and low volume sound. Has anybody had a S5 to compare the sound with the S5Neo? Is it better?

I can't believe how bad and low the sound is, but on the speaker it is a joke compared to the S3. It makes me sick and tempted to go back to it.

Another issue is the camera, It's not so bad, but the Samsung camera app seems to be horrible compared to other Samsung phones. It doesn't even focus before shooting??? And it doesn't even give the option to focus and shoot when touching the screen?? Plus it has almost no options and features. What app do you guys use for the camera? And any other alternative to Poweramp to get the best sound and volume?

Cheers.

For my music I use Stellio https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ru.stellio.player

My speaker are good enough, sounds like with my sister's s5.

Samsung camera app is the same from s6 but with less features. If you want to touch the screen and shoot photo try other camera apps. If u long press the screen and then release ,camera stay foucused.
[Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo Questions & Answers] lolotito:
Hi there

For camera app try this Camera ZOOM FX on play store

I think the free version is good enough but few months after i bought the "pro" one too. It's a really good app i think.

For sound, the simplest way to boost volume it's easy, no app, no root needed for this. Just put the phone in a perpendicular angle (L\) like in the kitchen wall or were u want and you'll notice a very nice volume increasement. Sound stupid? Try it :D

There are many things you can do for that, a little plastic box around the speaker ... Like car sub woofer or something....

Bye and regards to all of you! ! :thumbup::thumbup:
[Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo Questions & Answers] pxp3:
Thanks for the advices. I found Open Camera and MX Camera to focus and shoot on screen touch and they rarely make bad photos. Also Zoom FX, but in this one the touch and shoot doesn't work well in my phone.

About the music I tried Steillo, Shuttle, GoneMad players but so far I got the best volume boost with JetAudio Player and its equalizer. Still, it's not good enough, one song sounds very loud and fine, the next totally distorted. I'm afraid there is no solution to the poor quality.

However I have noticed that the FM radio sounds much better. louder and without distortion.
