I dont know if odin will let you flash an older kernel other that OE1 if it does just ignore this post if not you can try this , I put together a Heimdall package that may flash the kernel and let this method work.

Instructions:

1. Download and install Heimdall For S5

2. Put phone into download mode (power+volume down+home)

3. Navigate to extracted Heimdall folder and run heimdall-frontend.exe

4. Click on utilities tab and click detect

5. Click on Flash tab in the Under Options PIT click browse and choose s5.pit

6. Under Partion Files click add

7. Change the Partion Name to BOOT

8. Click Browse and choose boot.img

9. Click Start.

If you get driver errors follow below

10. In the Heimdall folder open the Drivers folder and click on zadig.exe

11. Under options click on List All Devices

12. Choose MSM8960

13. Choose Install or Reinstall Driver

14 Go Back to Step 4

15. If devices does reboot and start with older kernel ignore any security warnings and try the root method

Thanks for your input jrkruse! I read here http://mobile.tumblrvip.com/2015/09/23/successfully-downgrade-from-bog5-kernel-to-any-kernel-solved/ that Odin 3.10 should allow S5 users to downgrade OG5 to any older kernel supposedly.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] MySonsDad:
Thanks for the detailed instructions. Somebody may want to keep trying this. I got an error on step 9 relating to libusb, is that the drivers?

---------- Post added at 06:11 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:01 AM ----------

Okay. Here's my assessment of the ODIN method.

OG5 on OG5 Kernel - MobileGo Cannot Root this

OG5 on OE1 Kernel - MobileGo Cannot Root This

OG5 on OC4 Kernel - MobileGo Cannot Root This

OG5 on NI2 Kernel - Bad idea. I was stuck in a boot loop for like an hour before I got back to Download mode to reflash the whole stock image.

You can flash any of these kernels from ODIN, and you can flash everything back to rescue yourself. If you leave one of the older kernels on your phone too long, it will soft brick. If somebody figures out a root method that works, ODIN will be able to help use move between Kernels. This has been a fun first foray into Android Hacking. I still hate my phone.

Thank you fates13 and jrkruse, you guys rock.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] fates13:
Thanks for testing!
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] ldeveraux:
All those people complaining that their updated device can't be rooted, not willing to try this out?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] Hariiiii:
Can confirm that the root does not work and that the NI2 kernel will not successfully boot lollipop. Root might be theoretically possible if NI2 could boot....any thoughts on how to get into lollipop with the NI2 kernel in place?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] equazcion:
I have an unrooted VZW S5 with OG5 and would like to give it a shot, but download mode hasn't worked for me since OE1. Holding power+vol down+home just boots the device normally. I've tried holding them all the way through the boot, which causes the phone to repeatedly reboot. Am I missing something?

Edit: Nevermind, guess I was pressing power first. I've got download mode now. Will report back if I make any progress...
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] smokerbond:
Verizon

This is unfortunate.

So we are back to square one?

But if I understand, MySonsDad confirmed we have no reason to not update to OK3 since we can jump between the locked kernels?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] brd912:
So no root for 5.0? I've got to start researching these things before I buy a phone.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] sweendiggler:
Same here, I figured it would be a similar process as rooting my Nexus 5 when I was on AT&T. The Verizon and Samsung bloatware is painful when it can't be removed.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] rafe83:
Is there no update on this? I'm willing to anything at this point.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] Dudash:
According to MySonsDad, the method that was suggested for people to try didn't work, so no.

And as far as people talking about getting the NCG (rootable) kernel to boot a phone with any version of lollipop (meaning OA8, OC4, OD5, OE1, OG5, or OK3), it won't.

The phone will work if the NCG kernel is flashed after the phone has booted on a lollipop kernel, but unless you can figure out a way to flash a kernel after the phone has fully booted without root, older kernels will do nothing for you.

Is there a noob friendly way to get rid of the ugly 4G and LTE signal icons on a custom rom with an international base and revert back to the stock AT&T 4GLTE icons without needing a masters degree in decompiling and compiling? I'm currently running Phronesis 2.0 and everything is to my liking but the signal icons. The first screenie is my current icon and I'm hoping to revert to the second screening.

Hello every 1.

Device: Huawei G740

Problem:

I have no signal on my device, no service at all.

Can't call even emergency, and can't find any network manually.

I guess it's after I'w installed new firmware(stock), and ?maybe? it was wrong region.

It wouldn't be a problem if I could install new rom from my region, but I can't, because my bootloader is locked.

Can't downgrade too.

And i can't find any newest rom for my region the same version I'w installed.

Ofcorse I can't get bootloader code from huawei support. And my recovery is still stock phone rooted.

Maybe it's something about that csc, or maybe I don't need install new rom, just change something.

Please help me:

maybe some1 know how to change region in situation like this, or get bootloader code, or get my region version.

Reading mutch about this, but can't find any sollution.

Sry long post, but if some1 can help I try to give as much info I can, and will give more :good:

I have the HTC Apache (XV6700) with WM6, and my friend has the HTC Hermes (8525) with WM6 too. His phone screen has an option for video call, but it doesn't work. Is there any info on this? I don't have that option on my WM6 version.

I'm assuming AT&T has a video chat feature (or maybe will have one soon). I saw on a review site for the TyTn II (here is a link http://smartmobilegadgets.wordpress.com/2007/07/31/htc-tytn-ii-the-ultimate-mobile-companion/) The phone has a camera in the front that acts as a video chat.

Is there any way to get this working on our phones?

Here is a pic from the link above.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] famewolf:
Even if you could get it working would you really want to? Lets think about this for a minute...your camera is on the back of the phone..so you would have to choose whether you wanted to see the person on the other end or turn the phone around so they can see you. Kinda defeats the purpose of "video chat" doesn't it? Additionally they are a 3g device that can handle data and a phone call at same time. The apache is not..it handles data OR a phone call.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] NRGZ28:
Some people are just clueless. You have a phone designed for a CDMA network. NO CARRIER in US offers true video calling right now. (cingular's video share is useless if you ask me). What makes you think it would work ?!

The system cannot find the path specified

Hi,

I'm getting the message: "The system cannot find the path specified."

I booted to mirek's rom, plugged the tablet to my laptop and ran the bat file. It was in debugging mode also.

Am I doing it wrong? Any help plz?
[Teclast X98 Air 3G] verbage:
Wow, thanks, teramoto--this is fantastic! I just modded the SystemUI.apk on my device based on the tsochen link you provided, and your diff. I didn't want the screenshot and volume +/- buttons, but I did want to keep the menu button. So I just modded as indicated, and left the @id/menu entries untouched. The result is a nicely centered, four button variant.

EDIT: Somebody requested that I post my modded SystemUI.apk for a 4-button nav bar for the Air 3/III 32GB (M5C5). At the link below, I have done this, but also included 3- and 5-button versions, as well as the original 7-button SystemUI.apk version from the M5C5 v1.04 stock rom. The various SystemUI.apk files are obviously named by an explicit filename extension as you'll see when you download the archive. Also, let me reiterate--these are specifically for an Air 3/III 32GB (M5C5) tablet. Make sure that file ownership/permission is set correctly on installation else you will run into errors with the UI, and you will have to go in via adb root for manual fixing. Finally, and most importantly, note that credit for this goes to teramoto and the tsochen blog posting he pointed out above, which I just followed to do this, and also to mirek190 for starting this thread, and for helping out so many X98 Air users. Here's the link:

[Teclast X98 Air 3G] mirek190:
Thanks for a clue - 1st post updated .
[Teclast X98 Air 3G] verbage:
Someone asked for some more details about how to "go in via adb root for manual fixing". The question did not provide a lot of details except that the person copied over the file, renamed it, and then the navbar disappeared. So I am assuming that the SystemUI.apk file is correctly named and in the right place on the filesystem, but there is an issue of file ownership/permissions that needs to be fixed manually. If you are in that situation, or the UI is in an endless FC loop because of the same issue, here is what to do.

First, you'll need a working adb (Android Debug Bridge) install. If you don't have one already, the simplest thing to do is to just use the core adb files that mirek190 provides in either one of his ~2MB button mod archives linked at the start of this thread. In particular, I am talking about the "data" directory that has the five exe/dll files. Anyway, extract that, and then open a DOS command window in that directory. To quickly open up a command window, shift-right click on a blank part of the Explorer window, and choose the "Open command window here" option.

Now plug in your tablet, and give the following six commands in the command window you opened:

adb root [this initializes adb in root mode]

adb shell [this spawns an actual adb shell so you'll see the command prompt change]

mount -o rw,remount /system [this makes the /system partition writeable so you can make changes]

cd /system/priv-app/SystemUI [this changes to the right directory to avoid loooonnnngggg command lines]

chown root.root SystemUI.apk && chmod 644 SystemUI.apk [this manually specifies the correct file ownership and permissions]

exit [this gets you back out of the adb shell]

Note again that the above six commands are what is needed if the issue is just one of file ownership and permissions, and the modded SystemUI.apk is already correctly named and in the right spot. It is also the barebones version of a manual fix--before you give any commands, you might want to do some exploration to make sure my assumptions in the previous sentence are correct... For example, if your SystemUI.apk file is incorrectly named, you'll have to fix that first (i.e. "mv INCORRECTLYNAMEDFILE SystemUI.apk"). And before exiting out of the adb shell, you might want to restart the UI on the tablet just to make sure things are working correctly in case you need more triage via adb.

Hope this helps!

Am I doing something wrong? Any other idea? Or can I put the original file back?

Thanks for any help with this

EDIT: I forgot to mention that I'm using now the sikke1's GoogleNow custom rom. That might be the reason?
[Teclast X98 Air 3G] verbage:
Hmmm, from your ls -l command, it appears that the file ownership and permission were already set correctly, and so there was no need to give the chown/chmod commands again, but doing so didn't hurt, and only confirmed things.

My M5C5 is also on sikke1's rom--I started with mirek190's v6.1 slim version for the Air 2/II even though I have an Air 3/III, and it worked pretty good except for some hiccups. And so that is why I ended up on sikke1's debloated M5C5 rom, too.

Have you rebooted? You may be nervous to do so, understandably, but adb is enabled by default in the sikke1 rom so even if the graphical UI does not pop up, you can still do manual triage via adb.

---------- Post added at 07:19 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:53 PM ----------

One thought for the future--if you are going to do this manually, you should stage it appropriately to hopefully avoid issues. For example, copy the original to a backup with the -p option to preserve file properties while still leaving the in-use original completely intact (i.e. "cp -p SystemUI.apk SystemUI.apk.ORIGINAL)". Then copy your modded apk file(s) into the same directory, and make sure file ownership/permissions are set as per above. Then do another cp -p to replace the in-use original with the modded apk.

Here's my listing for the directory to show you what I mean. I have the original apk plus the 3-, 4-, and 5-button modded apks all in the same directory with the correct ownership/permissions set. I can quickly change to any config, for example, the 3-button config, with a single cp -p command, i.e. "cp -p SystemUI.apk.MODDED-3-BUTTON SystemUI.apk". And there is no downtime/hiccup because one file is immediately replaced by the other, and the ownership/permissions are already correctly set.

root@x98air_m5c5:/system/priv-app/SystemUI # ls -la
ls -la
-rw-r--r-- root root 3572761 2015-12-31 00:54 SystemUI.apk
-rw-r--r-- root root 3572757 2016-01-03 16:43 SystemUI.apk.MODDED-3-BUTTON
-rw-r--r-- root root 3572761 2015-12-31 00:54 SystemUI.apk.MODDED-4-BUTTON
-rw-r--r-- root root 3572764 2016-01-03 16:43 SystemUI.apk.MODDED-5-BUTTON
-rw-r--r-- root root 3604448 2015-12-31 00:21 SystemUI.apk.ORIGINAL
drwxr-xr-x root root 2015-08-26 23:06 x86
root@x98air_m5c5:/system/priv-app/SystemUI #

Again, since you have confirmed everything, I would suggest rebooting if you have not done that. As I said, even if the graphical UI does not come up, you can still get into adb for repairs. At the very worst, you might have to reflash the rom.

I'm not sure why you have had hiccups, but these modded apks are directly from the stock SystemUI.apk of a v1.04 M5C5 rom. I have the modded navigation_bar.xml files, and I can send those or just diffs vs. the original so you can see the few lines that I changed. But you'll see they are just like described by teramoto and the tsochen blog he pointed out.
[Teclast X98 Air 3G] wepecko:
Thanks verbage. I understand your backup procedure and admit it was a mistake to rewrite the file directly.

However im still trying to find solution to this. I did restart ofcourse, several times, but it didnt help at all. It was late yesterday so i didn't have much time to try different scenarios. Anyway tonight im going to try to update the file with 4 and 5 buttons versions and will see if I'll have any luck.

One more idea: would it be possible that the reason of this not working is that it might be in conflict with xposed apk already installed?
[Teclast X98 Air 3G] verbage:
Hmmm, sorry to hear you are still having a problem. The 3-, 4-, and 5-button versions all work perfectly on my Air 3/III using sikke1's debloated M5C5 rom, and since you have the same device, any of the versions should also work for you.

Certainly, the 7-button stock original should work, too, and that is also included in the archive I posted.

Whether there may be a conflict with the xposed framework you have installed, I don't know as I do not have xposed installed on my Air 3/III.

Anyway, good luck with fix, and we'll wait to hear more.
[Teclast X98 Air 3G] wepecko:
I tried again from the start and everything is working perfect now. Tested succesfully all versions of SystemUI file.

I have no explanation on the troubles during the first try though. I did everything the same way as yesterday.

OUKITEL K4000 Pro has been in stock since this Thursday, between January 19th to February 1st, this smartphone will be sold for $119.99 on all online stores. Moreover, a limited batch of the K4000 pro will be sold at a surprisingly “snap up” $90 price at 3:00PM GMT+8 every Tuesday, which means you will have two chances at picking up the K4000 Pro for less.

If you would like to buy it, just send me a PM and i will link you to one of stores ;)

Also there is a giveaway in Official Oukitel Facebook page, take a look :)
[Android General] JoaoPaulo:
Recently OUKITEL has released several big battery smartphones, K4000, K6000, K6000 Pro, K10000, as you know already. These models are mainly focused on big battery long standby.

As another big battery smartphone, K4000 Pro is bringing more surprise than K4000 which is known as its strong screen.

K4000 screen was tested by knocking nails into wood, now K4000 pro is taking a stronger challenge:

Knock nails into wood & out of wood:

[YOUTUBE]mnYhWGis7Uk[/YOUTUBE]

The TP screen of K4000 pro is thicker than normal smartphone, which is up to 1.1mm thickness. The glass screen is strengthened more than 3 times to make sure it's tough enough.

Comparing to K4000's 4000mAh battery, K4000 Pro prepares a 4600mAh battery for longer use. With the power saving technology, this phone will last longer than normal phones.

For big battery smartphones, one frequent asked question is that how long it takes to be fully charged. OUKITEL also considered this. Unlike K4000's 5V/1A normal charger, K4000 pro prepares a 5V/1.5A quick charge charger, it can fully charge 4600mAh battery in 3-3.5 hours.

I am here to announce for you guys the specs and some photos about Oukitel K4000 Pro.

Display: 5 inch IPS-screen, 720*1280 HD Display

Screen: Tough screen with 9H hardness and 1000Mpa stress value (This is what makes this extremely resistant)

Screen Type: G+F 5 points capacitance touch screen

Design: Crocodile leather back cover, 2.5D CNC with a curved metal frame

CPU: Quad-core MediaTek MT6735P 1.0 GHz

Dual Cameras: Front Camera - 5.0MP; Back Camera - 13.0MP

Memory: 2 GB RAM + 16 GB ROM, 32GB Expandable Memory

Network: 2G Frequency: 850/900/1800/1900; 3G Frequency: WCDMA900/2100; 4G Frequency: 1/3/7/8/20

Built-in Battery: 4600mAh

Charger: 5V/ 1.5A with Quick Charge

The price is not known for now, but what you think about this? Give me some feedback

Images:

I decided to share with you this video, because we all need a phone that "can be like Nokia 3310", and break things instead of breaking itself :)

[YOUTUBE]XikvCcymQkw[/YOUTUBE]

After seeing this video, i found that it is extremely resistant to drops because of its screen that has 1.1mm thickness, with a hardness value of 9H (similar to tempered screen protections), its not easy to find one like this, as the regular smartphones only have between 0.7mm and 0.9mm of thickness.
