Anyone flashed the new 6.0.1 and lost their data? It seems to be a problem in MM.

http://thedroidguy.com/2016/04/mobi...ops-working-marshmallow-update-issues-1057967

I like the OS and all even missing theming, but no Data is a deal breaker. lol.

Does this flash a custom kernel and or recovery? can someone upload a screenshot of their Kernel version in About after doing this.

Thanks.
[Galaxy S 5 General] junk007:
Well personally I was on Xtrestolite , flashed stock, lost everything anyway, being now on stock, flashed CF AutoRoot, then once rooted, flashed TWRP , flashed Insanity (s7 port). kernel 3.4.110-PhoeniX.Kernel-v7.0 as of right now.
[Galaxy S 5 General] s3nr1:
I was actually talking about mobile data. Insanity has major bugs right? Like Nfc, is it worth it.
[Galaxy S 5 General] nutpants:
No it just puts in a custom recovery, boots to recovery, flashes super su then flashes back a factory recovery..

And possibly changes the file that flashes the factory recovery back in if there are changes

So your rooted..

You can un zip it and look at what it does.

Anyway to flash root with twrp, not home for a few hours and wanna start my restore

My phone was stuck on the samsung logo for about 10 minutes before it started working. So maybe you should just wait..

---------- Post added at 10:09 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:06 PM ----------

You can get it now too if you're on rogers. Just download ANY G900W8 firmware from Sammobile and flash with odin. It will work as long as you have a Canadian Carrier.
[Galaxy S 5 General] pqee:
I figured as much. I take it the only difference would be the carrier branded bloat?

One other question, flashing via Odin would mean a full wipe?
[Galaxy S 5 General] Spearman873:
The branded bloat could be disabled and if you want the Rogers bloat, you can always download it. Flashing via odin will NOT do a full wipe, but it is always recommended to back everything up first just in case something goes wrong during the process
[Galaxy S 5 General] stevierayvaughan:
Hi folks I'm getting an S5 in a few days, I have had an S3 rooted and want to root but it having been years since I did it just want to be clear on the instructions from the OP:

I'm confused by this, what exactly do I do here? Does this step clash with this: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=51421228&postcount=3 I'm scared of the KNOX issue now lol :(

edit: Also, which ROMs will work with the G900W8? I keep seeing "klte" "kltdv" etc. how does that translate to this model?
[Galaxy S 5 General] Zod5000:
Rooting wasn't too hard. This what what I did:

1) Downloaded the 6.01 Telus firmware from a few pages back in the thread to upgrade my phone (thanks to the person who posted it on a link with a much faster download speed). I then used ODIN to upgrade my phone (As my phone was previously rooted I couldn't use the update program to do it).

2) I went to https://autoroot.chainfire.eu/ and grabbed the file for the SM-G900W8. I used ODIN to Flash it. It reboots the phone, it automatically installs the root software (SuperSU) after the reboot, reboots a few more times, and it's done, you're phones rooted.

It was pretty easy. A bit easier than doing it on the last firmware (Where I used phil's recovery package and installed supersu manually).
[Galaxy S 5 General] stevierayvaughan:
Okay I'm just getting confused with the ODIN and rooting. So the first step is to install ODIN? Or do I do a firmware update first? If I go to Settings (stock as is) on my S5 and there's a "Software Update" is that going to be pointless once rooted or is that the firmware?

Thanks for the link I grabbed the file now too in preparation for getting the phone tomorrow. I hate to seem so obtuse but first new phone in 4 years I just don't want to destroy it lol (especially as it's a gift) :)
[Galaxy S 5 General] thatsupnow:
Hey guys do the aosp roms only support LL boot loaders?? I upgraded an s5 to MM the other day and flashed every single rom in the unified section and nothing but bootloop!
[Galaxy S 5 General] Reechings:
That's what I've heard...
[Galaxy S 5 General] Zod5000:
If the phone you are getting isn't rooted yet, let it do the upgrade to 6.0.1 and root it after. ODIN is the program for flashing stuff to the phone. If you have a phone that's already rooted, the update software on the phone won't work (disabled for rooted phones). Thus you have to use ODIN to manually flash it. So either you let let the phone update itself to 6.0.1 (if it's not rooted) or use ODIN to manually flash it (if it is rooted).

After you're on 6.0.1 then you use ODIN to flash the proper cf-auto-root to root the phone.

that's it. Odin is used to manually flash stuff to the phone....
[Galaxy S 5 General] ks2hot4u:
xposed

Anyone figure out how to get xposed on the new 6.0.1?
[Galaxy S 5 General] stevierayvaughan:
Thanks a bunch that is clearer, I just got the phone and did the update to 6.0.1, am setting it up and all now. So ODIN is already on the phone or is that something I have to install? I'm guessing it is built-in and I just transfer the cf-auto-root to the phone and install it?
[Galaxy S 5 General] thegameguy77:
I've been trying to get the xposed framework installed for days. Tried different xposed versions, different recoveries. No luck yet.
[Galaxy S 5 General] InfinityMeep:
I managed to get xposed onto my G900W8, but I couldn't get root. I've tried flashing SuperSU 2.65 and CF autoroot. But SuperSU says that there is no SU binary installed. For xposed, I flashed the newest version with TWRP and it worked. Edit: Just got root. Had to flash 2.71.
[Galaxy S 5 General] Zod5000:
ODIN is a Windows program.
[Galaxy S 5 General] thegameguy77:

Regarding GOOGLE-PHOTOS not being able to modify / delete the pictures taken with Samsung Camera.

What you can do is convert the google-photos app into a system app. there is some problems with that, titanium backup does a ****ty job of it, but sometimes works. You can also create a flashable zip of google photos and flash it with twrp. you can also install OpenGapps zip - which makes photos into system app

Running perfectly on sixperience v7 and I'm with this rom since the beginning of the version 3. So my s5 phone look exactly like an S6 edge everythings has changed in the phone like

Model number is now SM-G900F instead of SM-G900W8

android version of sixperience v7 is 5.1.1 and I'm still running on COI4 Bootloader lolll.

The best way to find something nice with everything functional is: becoming flashaholic loll then do a good backup and keep searching and trying till you find something you like.

---------- Post added 19-05-2016 at 12:12 AM ---------- Previous post was 18-05-2016 at 11:36 PM ----------

Agree about 900F too But, just wondering if you manally change APN (acces point name) with the correct carrier's information... I think you will be able to run 900T AND call option enabled... I did some change like this to fix some issue like wifi and/or sending/received call did'not working but never trying on 900T. If you wanna try this then, here's the way I did on my cellphone with ROGERS CANADA

APN must be:

Name:Roger's LTE

APN: ltemobile.apn

Username: not required

Password: not required

APN Protocol/Type: IPv4/IPv6 (use IPv4 if IPv4/IPv6 option is not available or if no "APN roaming protocol" option)

APN Roaming Protocol: IPv4

MMSC/Message Server: http://mms.gprs.rogers.com

MMS Proxy: mmsproxy.rogers.com

MMS Port: 80

It's easy to google informations for any others carrier.

I hope this will help anybody against this issue.

Ciao :D

you don't have to downgrade the firmware to root

download latest klte twrp recovery TAR to your pc

download latest superSu zip to your phone

on pc, launch Odin

point PDA to the twrp tar file

set auto reboot OFF

power off your phone

boot your phone into Download/bootloader mode .. volume DOWN + Home + Power

plug your phone into the pc .. Odin should see it and a com port will become green or blue

in Odin

Start the flash

when it passes successfully, unplug it from pc and pull the battery

put the battery back in

boot into your new twrp recovery .. volume UP + Home + Power

in twrp, choose Install and point it to the superSu zip on your phone

after it is done, reboot system

voila :good:

There is a debloater that you can download that can be found in the How-to thread and that will do all the work for you. I believe that there is a list of what is removed in the thread for the debloater as well if you would prefer to remove the apps yourself. I used Titanium Backup to remove the apps myself but the debloater would be a quicker option. Check out the How-To thread as it contains the link for the debloater as well as a list of roms you could install that might already have been debloated. Hope this helps!

rogers rom

i keep trying to download rogers mm and i end up with bell rom. anybody have rwc mm rom?
[Galaxy S 5 General] andyondroid:
First, you need to change your CSC to RWC, then flash the factory image via odin. A factory reset may be caused after CSC change or needed afterward, don't remember for sure.

To change CSC, use this dialer code:

*#272*Phone IMEI Here#
[Galaxy S 5 General] DonDizzurp:
Use SamFirm to download the latest PDA/AP. All the latest ones will be the same regardless of carrier.

CSC is what you're after. You want to flash a Rogers CSC. Sometimes even flashing it wont change your CSC since they usually use the same one... in which case you'll have to do what the previous post recommends which is to change your CSC manually from within android.

This will wipe your phone, remove all the Bell apps and replace them with Rogers apps.

How about bootloader? You don't need bootloader only modem?

You can extract modem.bin from original latest firmware and load with odin.

My concern is bootloader.

I did create both modem and bootloader it is updated fine but bootloader makes a bootloop at the end of booting to first screen the phone restarts.

After loading older bootloader the phone works fine.

I have no idea what is wrong with the new created bootloader it looks exactly same as a previous ones.

Just want to share this for those of you G900W8 user's that want to flash this rom: Phoenix rom

1. Make a nandroid back-up, ideally save it to your external card.

2. Download and flash using ODIN the latest 6.0.1 firmware

3. Root your phone (via ODIN) using auto root https://autoroot.chainfire.eu/ select G900W8, don't worry it will install SuperSU automatically, will reboot phone few times, have patience and wait.

4. Using ODIN install TWRP. Please use the TWRP-3.0.0-0 klte

AND NOT

the latest one. (This is important, otherwise your installation will not go through.)

5. Download Phoenix rom and save it to your phone. Flash the rom using TWRP

Important:

I am not responsible if you brick your phone. Flash at your own risk (if you are on XDA, you probably know the drill). I am not affiliated to any of them.

Have fun flashing!
