[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] manubhargav:
Maybe your phone is not recognized in Download Mode as corresponding drivers may not be properly installed. So Computer is not able to recognize the phone when in Downlaod mode. Install SM Bus Controllers drivers from Intel from Official driver source.

After setting-up you'll be able to flash TWRP and boot into recovery mode.

---------- Post added at 05:36 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:32 AM ----------

Actually the problem of custom recovery (TWRPhere) not installed at all, stock recovery<3e> persists after reboot because when you flash custom recovery from Odin and allow it to reboot on its own, Samsung's recovery checking script checks if a custom recovery is present and overrides.

To bypass that check you need to take your battery out as soon as the recovery is flashed by Odin ( and before the phone reboots).

As soon as the Odin says PASS you should be ready to take out the battery which will stop it from rebooting,

Put back the battery and enter recovery mode directly by pressing and holding Volume Up, Home and Power keys at the same time.

Release all three buttons when Samsung Galaxy S5 screen flickers and the main screen of Recovery mode appears.

This will avoid script checking and will let you to custom recovery directly,there you can install SuperSU or any other zip.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] VL4DST3R:
The drivers are installed, and Odin sees my phone just fine, also the thing with removing the battery before it restats leads me to the error i mentioned above...
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] manubhargav:
Ah, So the problem you're facing is NOT getting into recovery mode

There are 2 ways to solve the problem, (1st -> flashing recovery.tar again, 2nd-> flashing stock firmware)

First method:

Enter "Download Mode" by holding down "Volume Down"+ "Home" + "Power" button.

Flash recovery.img again and check if it boots into recovery this time.

Sometimes this may not work and you may need to try flashing firmware

Second method:

Download Firmware from here

Open odin in your PC

Enter "Download mode"

Connect the device to PC using USB

Flash the PDA, BL, AP, CSC etc.

Alternatively, You can flash the firmware using SmartSwitch
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] VL4DST3R:
Oh but it is! That's exactly my problem. Look, here are the 3 outcomes I get regarding the whole recovery menu thing:

Go into the default recovery menu - cant install SuperSU but at least it works.

Install twrp and

remove the battery after it finishes transfering and wants to restart

, at which point when I go into recovery I get the above error (Could not do normal boot. ODIN MODE.)

Install twrp and

let it restart by itself

and after it is done, go into recovery only to find it is back to the default one.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] manubhargav:
Which Kernel version are you in? Which TWRP version did you try? Install other custom recoveries? On locked bootloader?
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] VL4DST3R:
Ok, I tried CWM and nothing changed, i get the default recovery menu...

Doing the shut down before it restarts gets me "recovery is not seandorid enforcing"
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] manubhargav:
Turn OFF Auto-Reboot option in ODIN and flash the recovery.tar and remove battery and directly boot into recovery mode.

Go into a working custom recovery (CWM or TWRP) and flash SuperSU.zip from the recovery and reboot with ("Fix permissions" if there is such an option, otherwise simply reboot).
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] VL4DST3R:
Tried that already, and as I said, I can't get a custom recovery working, it either resets to the default one or I get the "recovery is not seandorid enforcing" error.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GeniusisHere:
1)

Ah use latest twrp 2.8.70

Ah use latest supersu beta 2.52

Quick download cm12.1 nightly and flash it.

Boot Rom and go into settings/aboutphone/ click build number rapidly.

Developer settings should appear, then go into developers options/ click on "root access" and enable it.

---- now test if its working . however....

2)

If its not working, take yourself back into twrp and flash that supersu beta.

----now test again. However ....

3)

If it doesn't work again .

go back to stock 5.0 rom>>> put twrp on >>> and flash DAT supersu .

now test ya rom again. However.........

4)

If it dont work again ..

go back to stock 4.4 rom>>> put twrp on>>> and flash a random supersu.

now test ya rom again. However.....

5)

if that doesn't work again,

Go back to stock rom through (odin) and restart the process from the top .

btw the "recovery is not seandorid enforcing" is normal . not an error.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] VL4DST3R:
First of all holy **** what an answer... let's SLOW DOWN a bit first, shall we ?

Secondly you lost me from step 1, I don't want CyanogenMod, I want the default Samsung 5.0 with TouchWiz (contrary to popular belief I actually like it).

Also I would really like to know (from someone that actually knows why this happens) why is it reverting to default recovery and

how can I stop it from doing so

? manubhargav had an interesting idea, but sadly it doesn't work for everyone (as someone else mentioned on that other post)
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] VL4DST3R:
So I'm guessing no one knows the answer to my problem considering almost a moth has passed...
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] keithross39:
I know that in kitkat the answer was to turn off / disable 'Reactivation Lock' (located under settings>>security and unchecking the box)........

I had heard that Samsung had removed that option in lollipop, but it might be worth checking......it has/had to be disabled BEFORE attempting to flash anything......

[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] VL4DST3R:
I had that disabled from the start, either way I finally managed to do it, thanks to a random comment I found on the main CF-Auto-Root page, which mentioned TWRP, which, in turn, reminded me I haven't checked if i REALLY had the latest version for my device, and to my surprise, I didn't! Without much hope I decided to download (twrp-2.8.7.0-klte.img if anyone is interested) and try to install it. I can't describe how overjoyed I was when I saw the custom recovery menu!
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Luka6445:
My sm-g900f stuck too. I flashed the firmware from sammobile and so i have android 6.0.1 but still no root.

I just saw that i have a another Buildnumber "XXU1CPEM" then there is needed. Can someone help me how to root?

Last time i rooted i got stuck in the booting screen:

something like this :crying:

Edit: Rooted succesfully :)

just flash with odin twrp and install the supersu zip

I had to Odin up to OC5 so that Temasek's 12.1 ROM would work on my phone. Looking at *Samsung* Phone INFO I noticed that OH1 is the most recent firmware. What are the benefits of updating to this firmware? Does it have a better modem/baseband? Will it work better with CM13 if/when they get it working for hltespr? Just wondering if I should even try to update.

I have had several Nexus 6 phones and all of them have an issue when using any app other then the camera one where the focus/whatever doesn't adjust and the screen/picture stays dark. When I use snapchat or textra in a poor lit environment the camera will not refocus to get better light, however when I go into the camera app i can see most everything just fine. Anybody else experience that problem and is there a fix? I'm rooted LP 5.1.1 with xposed installed.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] bmolloy:
I need a holster for work , and every time a new nexus comes out I put up with the fact that I am going to have to buy a few case / holster combos to find something that works for me. For this phone I think I have found the perfect combo. The Spigen Rugged Armor and the Seidio iPhone 6S+ Dilex Holster. Before I made the purchase I found a few people with iPhone 6S+ phones and compared the size with the 6P. They were so close I figured I could use a 6S+ holster. I ordered the Seidio Dilex because it is a good holster and I have the Dilex case / holster combo for my Nexus 6, which I like.

This fits really well, almost like it is made for it. There is absolutely no slop or wiggle when the case is clamped in and it passes the shake test without moving a bit. The side flange is below the power button, so it does not inadvertently turn off your phone when you sit down with it (I am talking to you Nexus 6 Seidio Dilex case). An added bonus is that the phone will actually go into the case screen out, something the rounded back Nexus 6 got me used to not having. I don't wear it this way, but it is nice to have it screen out if it is sitting on the desk.

This is a pricey holster ($23.99 on Amazon), but if you need a holster (you know who you are) then you should give this one a shot. I have heard that Seidio is going to be coming out with Nexus 6P cases, but I honestly prefer the Spigen cases to the Seidio cases anyway, all I need from Seidio is a holster.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] AndrasLOHF:
I had pretty much the same idea/combo on my Nexus 5. Spigen Rugged Armor case and a HTC EVO LTE Dilex holster. This is very tempting.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] indianajonze:
it's hard to tell from the pics, but does the clamp sit flush on the phone? i tried the iphone 6+ surface holster and the clamp stayed open just a touch, making me nervous that it would release at some point inadvertently with just the slightest brush against it
[Nexus 6P Accessories] bmolloy:
Here are some side profiles with the holster empty and the close up of the clamp on the phone. I wish I was taking these with the Nexus 6P because they would be a lot sharper! The clamp holds it really well.

I also did a quick shake test with the holster and put it on Youtube. Forgive the lack of effort in the video!

[Shield Android TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mcord11758:
A little background. I am looking at the black Friday deals and asking myself is this a irrational purchase worth making. I have a shield tablet with no controller, or to be honest my son does. I have used grid on free trial over the last year but to be honest it was fun but not worth a monthly subscription to me, the game choices I felt were somewhat limited. I realize I would get 3 months if I get a Shield TV for free.

I am a big user of Kodi, my main box is a HP Chromebox hooked up in my living room. I also have a recently purchased Nexus Player in my bedroom that I picked up for $49.99. In the grand scope of things I have no need for the shield tv other than a want for the shiniest new toy. I have owned an Ouya before with thoughts that emulation would lead to hours of fun but to be honest never played much. If purchased this would likely replace my chromebox which would move to my bedroom and I would likely give my nexus player to a family member or friend. I am not sure this would out perform the chromebox running Kodi as a standalone using openelec as android although fully functional is not as good in my experience as a linux based distro.

$149 is not allot of money but I struggle with am I buying something that will perform on par with my current setup and add some gaming which in theory I already have with my shield tablet, or am I underselling the capabilities of this box.

so I reach out to the community for opinions
[Shield Android TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rektifying:
I am interested in this as well. I too have a Nexus Player. I debated on getting the Shield but I decided against it at the time, especially being I picked up the Nexus Player for only $49.00. I like the Nexus Player, I just don't game on it at all. I only use it for Netflix, HBO GO, and to play MP4 movies via Kodi mainly.

The Black Friday deal on the Shield is awesome in my opinion. $150 and you get the $50 remote for free! I really like the looks of the shield remote as well. The headphone jack is a nice touch. The shield would be replacing my Nexus Player, which is hooked up to my 32" 1080P T.V wall mounted in my bedroom. The 4K capabilities kind of make it feel like overkill, but I think it would be perfect for my situation. Provide all my streaming needs and some moderate gaming as well. Also, my cable modem and router are in my bedroom right by my TV. So it would be nothing to snake an ethernet cable up inside the wall with the existing power cord and hdmi. ( I have heard that wired net connection is hands down better for the Shield vs WiFi) I am sure my 60mbps net, wired would be fine for the game streaming.

I personally think it is worth it, and I am strongly considering it as well. There are only two issues for me if I do it. One, I know I will end up buying a 4K TV and selling my existing. lol. Two, the sale price is a pretty steep discount, making me kind of wonder if a Shield Console 2 is going to pop up in a month or two. What do you think?
[Shield Android TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ucsdsig13:
A few weeks ago, I began my search for a streaming device that I could use to run Kodi on my main TV. During that time, I've gone from a Fire Stick (received as a gift last year) to a Nexus Player and finally to a Nvidia Shield TV. I was generally pleased with the Nexus Player, but the frequent buffering issues when playing HD movies started to annoy me. My internet ISP is not the issue, as my TWC plan has great speeds (300MB/20MB). Really wish the Nexus player had a ethernet port.

While I was looking for a USB/ethernet hub for the Nexus Player, I saw that a few retailers were selling the Shield TV for $174.99 w/ the free remote. I decided to pull the trigger and have been 100% happy with my purchase. The Nexus Player isn't slow, but the Shield TV absolutely flies. No lag anywhere and no more buffering issues.

For $150, the Shield TV is a great buy.
[Shield Android TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mcord11758:
Well I bit the bullet. Should pick up my shield tomorrow. Little early Christmas present I guess.
[Shield Android TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rektifying:
I want to get it, I think it is an awesome device, and the sale is on point. However, I decided to stick with my Nexus Player. At the end of the day, the Shield is overkill for my needs. The more I thought about it the more I realized how I would rarely use it, especially for gaming. Which is another thing, after 3 months the $8 a month would be a complete waste for me.

So I decided to just stick with my Nexus Player. It more than does what I need. I literally use 4 apps on it. Netflix, HBOGO, YouTube, Kodi.

Still though, congrats to you and good choice! If I had more use for one I would so be buying one as well.
[Shield Android TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ireul:
Site ate my post, but I'm sticking with my Nexus too.

I wish NVIDIA promoted its native talents over streaming. And also by blocking exclusive titles like Half-Life (and possibly Borderlands, TBD) from other Android devices - it hurts high performance Android from getting traction. I have an XPS 12 running the ancient Console OS KitKat builds - and it out benchmarks Shield. Probably would play Borderlands 2 great too... but I can't sync my purchase? No, thanks... really.
