No need for Root, just flash TWRP 2.8.7.0 with ODIN

It has to be 2.8.7.0

https://dl.twrp.me/klte/

Leave it as .Tar and flash it from the AP or PDA section in ODIN

Once you have TWRP installed, copy the .zip ROM to your MicroSD card, and flash it from TWRP recovery

No need for CF Root then?......

Good to know.....

[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] *Detection*:
Nah, flashing TWRP gives you custom recovery, and from there TWRP can flash anything, it doesn't rely on the OS at all in recovery, in fact, you can flash TWRP or any other recovery, from download mode, with no ROM installed at all

That's why, so long as you can access download mode, you can unbrick, even if everything, recovery and ROM, are 100% wiped clean / gone - download mode is hard coded, unless you physically break the phone, you should always be able to access it no matter what you've done firmware side

Only time you need root, is if you need to change/access system files from inside of Android itself
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Moa z Bourhani:
Alot of post in rom asking for wipe every what do they mean with that do they wipe cache partition or data factory reset or there is another type of wipe on custom recovery ?
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] *Detection*:
Wipe everything apart from external storage when you're changing ROMs (Probably OK leaving Internal storage alone too)

Cache, Dalvik Cache, System, Data

Then flash ROM & Gapps

Reboot

---

If you are switching ROMs of the same Android version (Custom to Custom), you might get away with not wiping Data, but if it hangs at "Starting Apps", then you'll have to wipe Data too

Caches = Temp

System = ROM

Data = User Apps & settings

Internal storage = Music, Photos etc
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] keithross39:
Ah....I get you....For example if (like me) you stay with stock but use TiBu to debloat, or change the values of an XML file to increase system volume with root explorer.....

My bad....I've never modified my devices and not gone down the rooting path beforehand, so I mistakenly assumed root was *always* required........

That's what I enjoy about XDA......

You can almost always guarantee that you'll learn something new every visit....

I have my school app and it's every day lock my tablet on the app usage I changed the xml settings with blue stack my question is if changed the xml settings from another device how to move it (with the changed settings ) to the tablet with out rooting the tablet
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] *Detection*:
Yep exactly, root just gives you & apps root (Read/Write) access and permissions to the system files, which are otherwise locked down with no access to anyone or anything other than the OS itself

So for things like TiBU, that app needs R/W access / permissions on those files to do it's job, without root, it can't touch system files at all

---------- Post added at 19:16 ---------- Previous post was at 19:14 ----------

If it's a system file (XML) you can't without root, unless possibly you can sideload it from recovery, but I'm not here to help with a tablet, this is the S5 forum - if you need to root the S5, follow instructions above

If you need help with your tablet, go to that tablets forum and ask in there
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] keithross39:
If you're doing it 'on device' you can't.....

These files are usually located in the root directory which is a 'read only' partition.

You can't change this directory to 'rewritable' without root access.....

OK thank you for help sorry for wasting your time with me ?
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] keithross39:
Assuming the xml files are interchangeable between devices (which I doubt) it *might* be possible......

But a *possibly* better method would be to find a copy of the app in question, decompile it, look for and change the native xml file, recompile the app and sideload it onto the target device.

Don't ask me for instructions on how to decompile and recompile apps....I wouldn't know where to start....sorry

I have a LG F160K. I have rooted it and installed CWM recovery. Can someone please tell me how do I flash a custom Rom in it. Is there any lollipop based ROM for it?

:confused:
[XDA Assist] Primokorn:
Hi,

Thanks for using XDA Assist.

To flash a custom rom:

1. Reboot into CWM

2. Wipe data/factory reset + cache + dalvik cache and format /system partition.

3. Flash the zip file of your custom rom

4. Reboot.

I notice this while trying to put it on my desk or one hand typing texts, it seems the auto rotate sensitivity is too high. Does anyone else have this issue?

I've considered manually doing it, guess just being lazy. It just wants to rotate way too soon for me, it may be my posture or something causing it. Not a bad idea, maybe I can find a widget to easy swap manually.

I do not want to manually set the rotation every time I want to watch a video or a picture I just taken. This is silly.

Hello !

Despite owning an old phone (Xperia X8) I'm new to android smartphones.

Now, I've played a lot with the X8 and use R-Droid-X2 ROM.

I'm trying not to use a gmail account.

But the phone keeps starting gmail, and the Android market process.

So I've got questions :

1) how could I disable those processes to start ?

2) how could I remove these applications ? And is it safe for the running of the phone ?

Hi everyone

I have a rooted stock Galaxy S4 I9505 (4.4.2) and TWRP installed. For the last few weeks, my phone had a lot of kernel wakelocks which I couldn't stop. This could be fixed by installing a new kernel, right? I wanted to try that anyway.

I think I read the relevant FAQs, but this is my first time flashing a kernel, so just to be sure I have a few questions:

Does anyone have experience with the KT-GSG4 kernel? Do all custom kernels have the basic functions of stock kernels (plus some features), or will I lose some functionality?

Can I just flash the kernel, without changing the stock rom and keeping my files/settings etc.? If I do something wrong, can I just restore via nandroid backup?

Do I just have to go into TWRP recovery, click install, choose the kernel zip file, install it, wipe caches and reboot?

Thanks a lot!
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rhoban:
Ktoonsez is a great kernel dev. So the kernel should be fine.

A custom kernel generally offers more customizability. I don't know what features you might from stock kernel you might lose.

If the kernel is for touchwiz, then you can probably flash it on a touchwiz rom. Just make sure it is for the same android version.

I haven't flashed any kernels on a stock touchwiz rom so I can't tell you the flash procedure. It may be different from custom roms due to knox and other stuff.

[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jason040:
Hi ,

I recently rooted my Samsung Note 4 (running Lolly Pop 5.1.1) and about 5 days later it started turning on and off by itself. I noticed it only started doing it when I went to update the apps. Often when it self restarts it will get into a stuck loop, where it gets to the load screen, freezes, and re-starts again. The only method to get it to work again is to leave it with the battery out for 30 + mins and it always seems to right itself - except.. I thought it would be a smart idea to do a factory reset. Now it keeps getting stuck in the loop on the load screen of optimizing apps, and since this is a bit a of a lengthy process, it always resets itself now.

What can I do? Any help from experienced individuals appreciated!
