I thought after updating bootloader to the newest one even if its not MM and the room is LP the phone should boot as usual.

So let start from beginning. You where previously on phoenix 11 with BL (LL) then you FIRST upgraded bootloader to MM and from recovery you load new phoenix 12 or 12.6.It's that correct?

Tell me your successful way to be on MM with phoenix 12.6 and maybe shear your MM bootloader and modem.
[Galaxy S 5 General] dillfever:
no I was on Alliance 5.0 lp, what worked for me was I downloaded Phoniex 12 to external SD then in TWRP I wiped dalv cache and system, do not reboot, then I flashed phoniex 12, no reboot just straight into download mode then used Odin to flash g900m8 bl and modem, then reboot... this worked for me... But I have no guarantee that this will work for you.

look at post 364
[Galaxy S 5 General] agasagas:
If you flash via ODIN the firmware 6.0.1 (check your provider) then it will update your BL and Modem to MM. (If in doubt, download apps to check your phone info like CSC or SamMobileDevice info).

Just a precaution... There is a bug with 12.6 version of that rom, camera will FC (check and read the forum if that was resolved) I would rather flash the 12.0.. Kept in mind that when you flash this rom your modem will be updated to the modem of G900F, but still works with some few downsides depending on your needs. Until we don't have the G900W8 modem for 6.0.1 then we don't have a choice. If someone can share here that modem that would be absolutely great!
[Galaxy S 5 General] styropian:
I will try try to post rogers modem in the evening for you.

if you are going from stock to another rom, you do Not need to root first .. so step 3 is a waste of time

also it should be noted that Phoenix seems to be a touchwiz rom .. so those of us that despise touchwiz should stay away, lol

I prefer aosp .. and so I am running ResurrectionRemix which is awesome :good:

cheers
[Galaxy S 5 General] harry_fine:
cLogic, why do you prefer ResurrectionRemix over CM13?
[Galaxy S 5 General] agasagas:
Well... if #3 is a waste of time then you can bypass it then. Whatever works with me might not work with you. That post was intended to share my experience so might be able in other way around "HELP" those who are interested with that rom. By the way, There are people also who likes touchwiz rom and despises aosp, so let them decide.

Share it here how did you manage to install that rom and why you like that rom!

Cheers!
[Galaxy S 5 General] cLogic:
cm is excellent .. they do all the heavy work to bring latest aosp to many many devices .. plus they add features like profiles

resurrection remix is based on cm source, with features from omni and slim, and it is polished and tweaked and finished

have a look at it's features and you'll see

I have used cm, omni and slim over the years and resurrection remix has just the right amount of each for Me, in one rom .. give it a try if you like .. links in My sig

I have used all of these roms on My galaxy S3 for 4 years and now for 2 months on My galaxy S5 :good:

---------- Post added at 03:38 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:23 AM ----------

what do you mean .. how did I manage to install resurrection remix? it is same zip flash in twrp as any rom
[Galaxy S 5 General] harry_fine:
Read through most of the Resolution Remix thread. With the current underlying CM bluetooth problem and the issue with data connection APN issues on Canadian phones, perhaps this is not the ROM to install at the moment.
[Galaxy S 5 General] mikeostrowski:
Anyone else having an issue with Viper4Android?

After flashing this ROM it worked for a week then last night after a reboot the driver is gone. Can't get it installed again, keeps asking to install driver.

Confirmed I still have root, busybox is installed and working, selinux is permissive....

crazy?
[Galaxy S 5 General] cLogic:
I don't have any issue with data connection .. getting full lte whenever on data

I rarely use bluetooth, so that doesn't bother Me

fyi I'm using the stock rr kernel, altho I may try boeffla eventually

it's your choice, tho .. just remember to ALWAYS do a nandroid backup and Titanium backup (if you use it) BEFORE flashing anything over system partition and you'll be fine :good:

[Galaxy S 5 General] g17123:
Yes I am. I think xposed might be the problem tho cause ever since I installed it and got some extensions it started to make my phone battery very hot.
[Galaxy S 5 General] agasagas:
That's weird... never happened to me when I was in stock rom. I've been running sixperience rom for days now and it is really good and smooth but not perfect. I can live with this rom though... for now. The only thing that really bothers me is the stagefright vulnerability, this rom is vulnerable! I am thinking of re-flashing the stock rom 5.1.1 then would like to try the CM12.1 nightlies. Any of you canadian users tried CM12.1? Any feedback?

---------- Post added at 04:20 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:16 PM ----------

Try re-flashing the stock rom then do the patch and supersu fro rooting but this time don't flash exposed. It might resolve.
[Galaxy S 5 General] g17123:
I slightly fixed the heat problem by getting greenify and amplify. My phone only gets slightly warm now instead of hot. I think it might have been from me uninstalling stuff too.

Also do you know any ui editors that I can instal on stock rom?
[Galaxy S 5 General] agasagas:
Cool!

Yeah, our S5 are susceptible for heat issue especially when installing and uninstalling. Mostly battery issue. But, believe me this is nothing compared to the samsung galaxy s1 (Captivate), much better these days. When I first rooted my Captivate I thought it was going to explode LOL. That was way back 2010, when Alliance Rom was still DarkyRom. :)

Funny thing is... I was planning to downloadL this rom last night but when I checked the latest post of the forum there were reports regarding FC's, I hesitated.

I went instead downloading and tried running the Dirty Unicorn rom but I was having some problem (i.e Rogers provider instead of Fido etc...etc...) and I kinda liking the THEME and rom is neat. But to make long story short I went back pedaling SIXPERIENCE reinstalling my nandroid back up.
[Galaxy S 5 General] g17123:
Ya I tried installing it and it didn't work even tho its for my phone which I thought was odd. I followed installation steps and I get this updater failed error everytime I try to instal fusion. You have to wipe then use twrp to instal the rom which fails for me.
[Galaxy S 5 General] agasagas:
I went straight from Sixperience rom but I didn't flash EXPOSED. Wiped everything (as in all, including my sdcard as per their instruction) then GAPPS. It worked for me and to some canadian but I went back to sixperience again. I was stupid though :) I forgot that my Titanium Backup file was in my sdcard and not on external card, forgot to move it prior wiping it so I said bye-bye to all my Apps :) I would love to give Fusion a try. Maybe tonight once I am home from work.

you may want to ask that question in the viper thread .. mods are usually dependent on firmware by device and that's where these things get solved

Phone is rooted

My s5 is rooted and I saw my girlfriends phone yesterday and it had a new software update for her s5 6.01. I didn't get the update because my phone is rooted so I went to Sammobile and I'm in the process of downloading the update now. If I flash it with Odin with my phone rooted will it work?
[Galaxy S 5 General] gc_geforce:
Once you flash your s5 with a stock rom via Odin you will loose root, but you may have to root it again if you want it rooted.

It will work just fine!

Hi There Buddy,

These instructions are still valid?? and using the current version of the supers is also still ok?

I am just crawling when it comes to this Android world, so I need some help (in details step by step, clear and easy to follow) because many of the terms up here are new to me.

my Samsung Galaxy S5 SM-G900W8 is not rooted. I have had a backup on Kies on my computer, then reset factory settings, then installed the 6.0.1 upgrade. When I tried to restore the phone back, it did not work (except for a couple of things). but majority of important info and memos and application setup, phone setup, ...etc are all not being restored.

Backup was working well before I do the upgrade because I did restore it all but it was missing only a chat history of whatsapp. Then I tried again to reset factory settings and restore, but this time I upgraded also the new 6.0.1 version. Then it no longer worked to restore the Kies backup.

I am thinking then if I downgrade back to the previous version, it should work again with Kies and get my data back using it.

Does that make sense??!!!!

Please HELP!!!!
[Galaxy S 5 General] Elzey11:
Folks, Please help on the above post. I need to recover my data back as soon as it is possible. I hope there is a way to restore all again using this backup by Kies. If not, at least the memos (regular memos application backed up as *.nmm file, it is not the *.smm Samsung memos). then nexet priority is application data because I had many to do list items recorded there and it is all gone as well, next would be chat histories (whatsapp and viber).

Could I not just stay on 6.0.1 stock, flash TWRP via ODIN, then root?

I obv wanna use the latest bootloader + modem ... so should I just flash the stock 6.0.1 then do TWRP + Root ?

I was actually downgrading to 4.4.2 so i can unlock the phone, then pushing back up to 6.0.1 to install TWRP + Root but doesnt 5.1.1 + have some odd work arounds to root the device ?

[Galaxy S 5 General] unibombz:
OK, for some reason I thought it may be easier to unlock the phone being on 4.4.2 (waiting on unlock code right now) then once it is unlocked. Flash back up to 6.0.1 stock --- then twrp (via odin) then flash superSU (which enables root) then start using custom roms

sorry it's been a bit since I did this process with unlocking the device.

I am on 4.4.2 right now successfully. Going to unlock the phone first... flash back up to 6.0.1 and follow your post -- hope it all works out

to unlock the sim via paid code it doesnt matter which fw or if rooted or not just as long as its stock fw and not cm based roms or any other unofficial based roms.

backup your efs, thats where the unlock magic happens, just in case.

once unlocked its unlocked on any fw/rom unless you flash back your oringinal efs that had the locked sim

Hi everyone, I used to be good with it long time ago(as my name shows - "sg2") but then a lot changed and now I need to reflash a differrent ROM for my wife's phone. I rooted it and flashed CM13. I now want to flash OMEGA ROM V.20 in the description developer suggests to flash bootloader and modem(Bootloader XXU1CPG1 6.0.1 and Modem XXU1CPD2 6.0.1). That's where I float a bit. My current bootloader is the original one(G900W8VLU1DPD3 6.0.1) still marshmallow, so can I flash OMEGA with out installing the one that he suggests. And also if I rooted my phone and was able to install CM13 does it mean that my bootloader is already unlocked?

Many thanks.
[Galaxy S 5 General] vincom:
g900w8 comes with "no" locked bootloader, its basically the g900f which is aka the international version, whatever works with g900f will work for the g900w8.

if custom rom is based on mm 6.0.1 then you must/usually need an mm 6.0.1 modem and bootloader already flashed onto phone thats meant for your phone model, in your case youre good to go.

even if you didnt have the right modem/bootloader version for a particular w8/f rom you wont hard brick your phone, worst case scenario is bootloop/soft brick, which then you can just wipe and restore/reflash a rom
