[XDA Assist] By Dawe:
PS: I tried to find some tutorials what should I do. Downloaded different firmware, used flash tool. When flash tool is done, the phone started to load, the lenovo animation etc. and then just for like 3 sec. I could see the screen with languages. Went blank and the same thing again. try to turn it on - just vibrate and black screen.

Hi all, I have rooted my galaxys in the past, but I have ran into a problem with this device, I am now only getting ''firmware upgrade encountered an issue please select recovery mode in kies and try again'', I have tried connecting to Kies, but all I get is an error message. I have tried to flash another rom, but I get error messages aswell, and I just stay stuck in the same place .

I have tried to bring my s5 to a local guy who roots and fixes phones, but he could not solve this. Now Samsung will not touch it, as I have voided the warranty.

Please can someone help me, I don't want to loose €400 of a brand new device :( if someone can help, I will show my appreciation in some way!! Please people, I am so desperate :crying:

Which model S5 is it ?

Choose the correct PIT file for your exact model S5 (Example, mine is the G900F), from here

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=52329647&postcount=2

Extract it, and add it to the PIT section in ODIN, at the same time as you add the stock ROM to ODIN, and flash them both at the same time
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cb_2014:
Not sure if this is what you have tried in kies3, but this is what worked for me before when things have gone wrong and i had nothing but a samsung paper weight:

Go into download mode and do a firmware upgrade and initialisation through kies3. You will need your serial number and model number( on the white sticker behind the battery. in kies3 go tools> firmware upgrade and initialisation, then follow the on screen steps. I used this when I soft bricked my note 2 when I had it, I personally find it's the best way to restore a samsung device.

If you have any issues, try checking for kies3 updates to ensure you have the latest drivers, and if you can get into the stock recovery on your phone, you could try doing a factory data reset and cache wipe which also sometimes helps.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Uzair40:
The suggestion of [MENTION=4369943]*Detection*[/MENTION] will definitely work if done properly, but before doing that you can try this:

Extract the hidden.img from the firmware that you're trying to install, and rename it as hidden.img.tar, now open Odin, and load that file on AP and flash it. After turning on the phone wait around 5 minutes and it should boot up.

what is smart switch? can I do any of this with a Mac? or should I stick with a windows?
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] *Detection*:

Yea figured that :p downloading ROM now, what file extension should the pit file be when I download it? thanks for your help!
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] *Detection*:
ROM should be .MD5

PIT should be .PIT

Extract the PIT file and the ROM once downloaded to get the correct files
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KennethK1992:
just waiting for the ROM to finish downloading...

which version of ODIN do you recommend I use? thanks again!
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] *Detection*:
The one in the instructions under the download on sammobiles site, I think it's 3.10.7

But you should be able to use any from 3.09 > 3.10.7

Newest generally recommended unless it fails, then try an older version

When you add a PIT file, ignore the instructions about re-partition, it needs to be ticked for PIT, it will set itself up automatically once you add the ROM and PIT

OK great, you have recovery installed, so you should be good to install a custom ROM now

Try this one as a test (G900* Unified-GSM)

http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s5/unified-development/rom-cyanogenmod-13-0-android-6-0-t3237502

Download ROM and Gapps (Do not extract this time, they should be .zip format), put them on your MicroSD Card, stick the MicroSD Card back in the phone

Goto the WIPE menu, and wipe everything apart from the External SD (MicroSD)

Format (I think from the Wipe menu also)

Now go to the Install Menu, and Flash the ROM, then the Gapps from the External storage (MicroSD)

Reboot, and you should boot into Android
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KennethK1992:
do I have to use this ROM, is this the best coustom rom for the s5..? my sd card is at home, and im in work til 4, so will have to wait until later on today, to see if I can boot into android. wish me luck :good:
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] *Detection*:
No, not at all, you can choose any ROM you like, but I would advise steering clear of XtreStoLite, it has a bug that enables reactivation lock, with no way to disable it, and because you can not flash Stock ROMs, you will be stuck with it enabled, which can either brick your phone if you try to flash anything else, or just stop you from flashing anything else at all

The only way to fix it, is to flash a stock KK ROM, but as you can not, I'd keep away from that one

Plenty of others to choose from

I`ll check back around 4pm :) good luck!
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KennethK1992:

is CyanogenMod the most stable rom to use? im looking for something thats fast, stable, and doesnt contain a lot of bloatware? i do not want any issues with wifi/camera etc.?
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] *Detection*:
Doesn't matter for first flash, we need to get your phone working again first, no point spending hours checking which ROM is the best, if none of them flash

Just try any for the first flash, if it boots, then go off looking for something you can use more permanently

All it takes to switch ROMs, is to Wipe everything in TWRP, then flash ROM and Gapps

Takes 2 mins :)

Plus, different people have different experiences with custom ROMs, so it's best to just try a few and pick the one that works best for you
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KennethK1992:
Thank you so much Detection! I have a phone again! Running cm, and very happy with it!! :good: thanks again! :good:

Good stuff :)

And now you know how to unbrick and flash custom ROMs too
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KennethK1992:
So cyanogenmod 13.0 isn't working out so well for me, I canot go in to network settings or the phone settings app will just force close,and then the mobile data will not work. Can I use this version or is it just too buggy? I have tried to flash another ROM zip through teamwin, but none will flash only cm13.0. Can anyone recommend any good stable fast ROM for the s5?
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] *Detection*:
This one is very popular

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2732110

But take note of this part very carefully

During setup, after the ROM has flashed, and is in first boot setup, MAKE SURE you DISABLE reactivation lock

Read everything during setup extremely carefully, until you come to that reactivation lock part, and disabled it

Otherwise if you ever want to change ROMs you'll be forced to flash a stock KK ROM, which we know won't end well for you because of your stock ROM flashing problem
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KennethK1992:
So I just download it, put it on the SD card,and use tw to flash it,using the same method as previous, except for the reactivation bit? Why is the ROM I currently have installed being so buggy and force closing all the time?
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] *Detection*:
Custom ROMs are buggy, that's why I stick to stock, some worse than others, the devs who create these ROMs just do it in their spare time from home, they are not professional companies like Samsung (Even Samsung ROMs have bugs), just normal guys like me and you

But also, because some of the files they need, such as drivers etc, are not open source, so that makes it difficult too

Reactivation lock will appear when you first boot the phone, make sure you look for it while you are setting language and logging into your accounts etc

Don't miss it
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KennethK1992:
And I do not need to flash another kernel or bootloader? It should be a zip files when i move it to the sd card ya?Thanks
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] *Detection*:
Exactly the same a CM

Copy Zip to MicroSD

Wipe and Format everything apart from external storage in TWRP

Flash ROM

Flash Gapps (If needed)

I've tried uninstalling and no good,also have tried refreshing contacts in watsapp,giving the app permission to read contacts but nothing is working?
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] *Detection*:
Good stuff, not sure about whatsapp, if they're in your phone contacts, then you should be able to find them in the app, unless the dev has debloated it so much he's removed something that needs

Might need to add them manually via phone numbers

[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] *Detection*:
You already tried and it failed every time, that's why we went for custom

Thanks for all your help, would keep this ROM, only for this WhatsApp issue.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] *Detection*:
Yea, it's a PITA, I don't understand why the stock ROMs won't flash, they really should - did you try all versions of ODIN from 3.07 up to 3.10.7 ?

There is another app called "FlashFire" you could try to flash stock from

http://xdaforums.com/general/paid-software/flashfire-t3075433

Ask in that ROMs thread if other people have issues with WhatsApp, if not, you know it's something else

I see there are addon packages available for that ROM too, check the first few posts

See Post #2 for the Aroma Add-on Package, so that you can choose which Samsung Apps / functions you want back.

- Make sure you're on an recent Lollipop Bootloader/Firmware

EDIT - And I highly recommend backing up your EFS partition - if that gets deleted or corrupted, you lose your IMEI and Radios (No calls etc)

No I did not try all ODIN versions. Do you think I have missed an Add-on, and thats whats causing the whatsapp issue? I wrote it on the thread, so hopefully someone will be able help.

Installing that back-up app now! :good: thanks again!!
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] *Detection*:
I'd try a few different versions of ODIN, see if one of them likes your phone

And it's possible an addon will repair it, that ROM has been massively cut-down, from over 2.4GB to just over 400MB, that's like a 2GB reduction, so there is a good chance something required is missing
