Ok,

I am trying to flash TWRP after upgrading to 6.0.1, Am I able to flash custom recovery after upgrading? Or Do I have to drop back to 5.0.1? I flashed TWRP 3.0.1-0 but when it "Passes" Odin and I reboot I still have the stock recovery. Will I now have to wait for a stock rooted 6.0.1 and then flash via Odin?
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] pyrochance:
hmm.. what ROM are you on stock? stock recovery?

and is update.zip on the root of the internal storage?
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] lascoul:
I am on stock OG1, stock recovery
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] Kreatur3:
You can't downgrade firmware. Ever. The rest of your post is already answered. It's only 12 pages to look at.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] djxn40:
Must uncheck auto reboot! Boot straight from downloader to your newly flashed recovery
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] highspeedfelon:
I downgraded, I had issues but I was able to do what I needed to fix an issue I was having.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] pyrochance:
you went from 6.0PCA back to OK4? and back to PCA?

---------- Post added at 07:35 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:29 PM ----------

Hey Lascoul,

I am on OK4 and have not updated yet, but i was planning to this weeked.

were you keeping OG1 with OA6 bootloader so you can go back to kit kat? or is your bootloader also locked at OG1?

if you dont have the ability to go back to kit kat or care about going back, i would suggest upgrading to OK4 then using the update.zip to upgrade to PCA
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] highspeedfelon:
Yes I went from 6.0 to OK4 using a full TWRP backup I had done. The buttons at the bottom of the phone did not work but I was able to fix an issue I had with the *#0011# stuff not working for me in 6.0.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] Kreatur3:
Restoring a TWRP backup is not downgrading. Firmware can't be downgraded.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] gobluefanjp:
So i upgraded, did a systemless root with the supersu zip in twrp, and had Android Pay working.

I tried flashing something in twrp to see if it liked it, it didn't, so i wiped system, caches, and data then did a restore of the nandroid backup that i made (just system).

After flashing the same systemless supersu zip that worked before, android pay doesn't like it. Ideas? Thanks.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] Kreatur3:
Has anyone tried flashing viper4android on the new update?
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] djxn40:

[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] gobluefanjp:
Searching Google for that 3.0.1-1 zip and all the links i find for it are dead. Would you mind attaching the file? Thanks!
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] djxn40:
It's 3.0.1-0
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] highspeedfelon:
If I was on 6.0 and went back to 5.0 that would be a downgrade

Edit:

How about using Odin to go back to full stock OK4? Cause I just did that. This way is better because everything works like its supposed to.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] whbisondtr:
Yes, and even though i installed busybox, it's a no go. But xtreme music and Dolby flashed just fine and works great.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] Kreatur3:
Oh. So you took the Ota and your firmware updated and then you used an odin tar to revert back to full OK4?
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] TheFixxer420:
Is that the official Sprint Android 6.0.1 OTA update file in the OP that was pushed out a few days ago?
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] highspeedfelon:
Yes just did that originally I used TWRP. I made a thread trying to get some one to verify what I did and make sure it was not just luck on my part.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] tyxavier13:
You have to use toy box to get viper4 working [MENTION=631273]Chainfire[/MENTION]
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] Kreatur3:
That's crazy if it really happened. I say that because I'm on OK4 and am positive I cannot odin the previous (oa6?) tar and revert my firmware back. I was under the impression, based on people far smarter than I, that their security update built in stopped that from being allowed.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] highspeedfelon:
Maybe they allowed it to be downgraded incase it messed peoples phones up so gave them an option to fix the phone.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] Kreatur3:
Isn't that the purpose of Odin tar files? To be able to go back to a fresh starting point based on the firmware you're on? I agree you should be able to downgrade but, guessing here, I'm assuming samsung stopped allowing it so you couldn't go back and bypass their security measures. It's the only thing that makes any logical sense...
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] pyrochance:
Way to long of a post. sorry if you dont find this info useful.

Hey Guys, this is my understanding on the GS5 firmware. anyone more knowledgeable feel free to correct me.

There are certain bootloaders that lock the firmware. Between for example NE5, NK4 etc that are the kit kat bootloaders, and all the way up to the Lolipop boot loader OA6. you can be flash back and forth without any issue.

newer bootloaders/firmware than OA6 started locking so that you cannot flash anything older than the current bootloader. so if you flash the OK4 firmware, it will be locked to that bootloader or newer version. you cannot downgrade to OA6 anymore.

some have gotten around this issue by keeping the OA6 bootloader for any lolipop builds and only flashing the system partition etc of newer builds with chainfire's mobileodin or flashfire tools. thus for example keeping the ability to Odin NE5 if they want to downgrade etc or only flashing newer firmware just not the bootloader which locks it.

I was switching between NE5, OA6, and OK4 using this method and keeping my knox 0x0 as well as running xposed mods up until recently when i accidentally flashed OK4 partitions instead of the OA6 partitions, which put the OK4 bootloader in place and when i tried to revert to my NE5 build i bricked my device.

based on this trend "I" assume that between initial OS upgrades they keep the bootloader unlocked on the initial few updates so that they can downgrade it if the first few releases are wonky and unstable. which would explain why you are able to take the MM update and then odin back to OK4 without issue.

again anyone that understands this better please feel free to correct me. but from reading all the threads that is my understanding of how this all works.

hope this helps!
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] Kreatur3:
I'm just hoping this mm update helps iron out some wrinkles we've had in the newer roms we have! ?
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] pyrochance:
i know right?

thats one of the reasons i loved my kitkat build. it just worked!

since having bricked my old phone, i got a replacement s5. but you cant root OK4 without tripping knox :( :crying:

so now im struggling with making myself flash TWRP so i can get root again.

i've got to say though. this new phone runs OK4 wayyyyyy better than my old phone.

i was getting maybe 8hrs of life on the old one, with this new phone im getting 22hrs before it dies.

but then again its not rooted and doesnt have a million apps installed either so cant really fairly compare the two.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] highspeedfelon:
I have noticed that there is now an APN settings menu. But that still doesnt help going from boost to att. Also does not help me get data working on ATT either.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] Kreatur3:
My phones gyroscope failed a couple days ago. I need to look into getting mine replaced. I'm guessing this phone is outside a warranty period. Lol
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] pyrochance:
theres a developer for idoneapps that used to have apps here for free that helped alot with these kinds of issues.

he no longer does it for free and charges a ridiculous amount to use his tools to open up your phone but if your interested you can google idoneapps and look at his FAQ page. not sure if im allowed to link to his stuff but i'll go ahead and put a link here

http://www.idoneapps.com/forum/index.php?topic=23.0

and if you want to truely make some good use of the bands this phone is capable off I suggest checking out this thread once you have gotten your APN's figured out. you should unlock the bands for ATT

http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s5/general/how-to-add-rf-lte-frequency-bands-to-t2886059

this describes how you can manually unlock all the bands on your modem.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] Kreatur3:
I'm on boost as well. I really just want a working miui rom. Is that too much to ask for? Haha

[MENTION=5888829]highspeedfelon[/MENTION] does that APN menu make it easier to play with those settings?
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] pyrochance:
well sprint likes to make you pay the $150 deductible if you have the sprint insurance.

my phone was unable to boot so they couldnt prove it was rooted etc, and was able to get it replaced for for free.

got my new phone last week from sprint. :D
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] Kreatur3:
Nice! Mine was originally for sprint. Bought it and had it reprovisioned for boost. Then got my lte Sim card and I love it. Coming from my s3. I'm sure the manufacturer warranty has expired on my phone as I didn't even buy it new. Oh well. I'll sell it on cl along with my s3 and buy another s5.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] pyrochance:
yeah sadly probably wouldn't be able to get it replaced . im debating getting a second s5 as a spare so i can be a flashaholic like back in the day.

I went from the "epic touch s2 " i freakin loved all the dev support for that phone :highfive: . it was amazing!!! sadly i bricked that one and they legit didnt sell it anymore and forced me to upgrade to the s5 haha.

i've been loving this phone too but wayy less dev support than i was used to with the s2
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] highspeedfelon:
There is a guy on XDA that will unlock the phone for free and thats what I have done plus enabled all the bands but still can only get talk working on ATT.

I guess it might be easier to unlock the Hotspot thing for boost using APN settings menu but even after adding the ATT apn I could not get data to show up. Also try the Monkee Rom I tried it and kind of liked it before
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] Kreatur3:
Way less! Hell the s3 still has more support than the s5. And it had a working miui rom which I very much miss. If it wasn't for the camera on this phone for taking pics of my kids I might go back haha.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] pyrochance:
yeah i hear ya on that! Im partially tempted to switch to a GSM carrier just so i can get a phone with better dev support and have a ton of ROM options.

some of these international phones are starting to become tempting buys. Like the nexii or oneplus two or some of the Chinese phones.

[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] vunuts:
You can do this method^^^ or you can just reboot into safe mode, then go to the software update tab in the settings. In safe mode, your "device status" reads as "scanning", not "custom", and allows you to download and update to MM.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] bales810:
Anyone else having issues with this? I tried this way and settings are greyed out still. Dowloaded the good lock app as the other thread says it needs to be updated. Still no luck. Thanks.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] djxn40:
Worked great for me. If you have settings greyed out I w I uld suggest a factory reset

Ok so here is the issues im having:

1: flashed stock og 1 - boot time took for ever so i pulled the battery

2:Booted to stock recovery

3: Flashed Marshmello update.zip

Has been at the samsung animated logo for 15 minutes and waiting.. should i have reflashed the PIT or is this delay normal

It did change my modem yes. Please keep us posted if pit works
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] djxn40:
Maybe try a factory reset and boot up again. Shouldn't take more than 20 on logo
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] highspeedfelon:
If you can get into recovery do a factory reset and that may help.

did the factory reset its not booting in to og1 either

just sits there at the same sung logo

[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] djxn40:
I don't understand. Seems like that should have worked
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] AOD_Corwin:
shrug fortunately i had a nandroid for MOAR and went back, i think the bigger issue is i could not get any stock rom to boot properly. Am i forgetting something?

i have been using custom roms for years
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] whbisondtr:
If you're back on moar, flash the OK4 tar through ODIN. Then you sound be able to take the update just fine. That's how i did it.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] AOD_Corwin:
think i finally got it stand by

for some reason i can not install this package unless i can convince the phone its not on a custom rom.. i may need to wait for the Tar file

Go on sammobile and get OK4 and flash that with ODIN.

You can install those in the same recovery session. However, if you install any other zip or a rooted app that attempts to modify /system, it will cause Android Pay to fail. Also, make sure that you are on a stock system partition, by going from stock Lollipop to MM.

[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] vunuts:
Just boot into safe mode and you should be able to take the system update without any issue.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] AOD_Corwin:
Are you implying that safe mode after flashing ok4 will allow for the ota to work
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] vunuts:
Yes. That's exactly how I did it yesterday and I've been running PCA with absolutely no issues.

Flash OK4. Let it boot. Shut off your phone and restart it in safe mode. Go to software update and let it do its thing.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] AOD_Corwin:
ok just flashed ok4 waiting for the initial reboot - then ill go through the basic set up and try for the ota - hope marshemello is worth all this. CM13 has a lot of issues and the sprint version of cm13 has been all but abandoned
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] vunuts:
I was about to ditch the effort of upgrading to marshmallow and stick with moar or bare metal until a flashable zip came out, then I tried safe mode yesterday, successfully upgraded, and have been running smooth all day. Battery life is great after I rooted and debloated. No complaints from me.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maybeme2:
My phone is a nexus 5 running stock 4.4.4. with a T-Mobile simcard. I also have the T-Mobile app installed.

It used to be that when I dragged down the phone's status bar, among the notifications was a convenient display that showed how many minutes I used and the renewal date.

For some reason this notification has now disappeared and I can find no setting in the app to change to bring it back. Anyone know what to do. Is it from a recent app update? Is there a way to restore that display?

Thanks.

[Android Studio] thovo:
Hi,

I am a beginner in the world of Android Studio and I have to develop a Game for a school project. Now I want implement the X value of the accelerometer (player has to go to right or left). I have made a class called "Gyroscope" which extends my Game panel class.

I am not sure what to do now, could someone please help me?

Gyroscope.class:

public class Gyroscope extends Activity implements SensorEventListener {
private Sensor Gyro;
private SensorManager SenMan;
public static float xValue;

@Override
protected void onCreate (Bundle savedInstanceState){
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

SenMan = (SensorManager)getSystemService(SENSOR_SERVICE);

Gyro = SenMan.getDefaultSensor(Sensor.TYPE_ACCELEROMETER);

SenMan.registerListener(this, Gyro, SensorManager.SENSOR_DELAY_NORMAL);

}
@Override
public void onAccuracyChanged(Sensor sensor, int accuracy)
{}

@Override
public void onSensorChanged(SensorEvent event)
{ xValue = event.values[0];
}

}

Code in Game Panel:

public boolean Gyroscope(){
if(Gyroscope.xValue < 0 ){
player.setUp(false);
}
return true;}

As a test, I had set Player.setUp(false);. This is only because i have not set the movement to left and right at this moment.

Hello

when my head unit starts, it always opening Music app that I really don't like...

how can I prevent it from running? there no option to disable the app (via settings), the device is not rooted so I cannot uninstall it or freeze it...

please advise (info on my head unit is attached)

thanks
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] delarium:
Also interested to know how to do this. In my case the radio app starts automatically, which is pretty annoying because it starting on a frequency that we do not have broadcast on (87.5 Mhz). Which gives you a really noicy start on your drive...

You can root the 4.4 units by just using a specific password, check the Wiki.

Also you can disable apps in 4.4 without root (not all apps can be disabled tho).

The headunit will start playing whatever source it was last playing when it was turned off, so you can exit the radio app if you'd like, also it shouldn't start at 87.5 unless you left it on that freq, make sure the acc and constant power wires are correct and you aren't resetting the unit.

[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] staticx1:
Hey,

I've finally managed to root the device!!

Instructions

* On the device, download `Root Master 2.1.1` on this URL: Root_Master_2-1-1.apk

* Make sure internet connection is active, `Root Master` downloads instructions depending on the device you have

* Open `Root Master`, refuse the update (last version of root master will not work)

* Click the big button where it is written “ROOT”

* Wait, it will ask you to install an app, install it (otherwise it will keep you asking that)

* Wait again, at the end a message popup, click the purple left button, it will reboot the device and install SuperUser (right button is for rating)

* Your device is Rooted !

Pretty easy !
