[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] cyaclone:
Thank you....that was a fast download. Great Post!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] IamaznX:
Can't see my SD card in TWRP anymore. What do I do?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] OldeCrow:
go back to twrp 2.8.7.0

Just don't let twrp root the phone when it asks...

It seems to be an issue with 3x build

I added the permissions to platform.xml for thunderbolt rom, it has a sd card notice every time the phone boots, i'll check and see if the default permissions in thunderbolt work...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] IamaznX:
Can I directly flash the 2.8.7.0 ZIP via Odin or do I need to do anything else?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] cyaclone:
Your post is even better because it provides a MD5 for checking the download. Many Thanks and Great Post!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] IamaznX:
Anyone else getting really bad lag?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] cyaclone:
If the External SD does not show and you can not use your internal SD, did you check the option to download to a connected flash drive?

That should also work for Titanium.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] OldeCrow:
just odin and enjoy, i just went back myself...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] IamaznX:
I went back to 2.8.7.0 and no issues thus far.

Is it possible to hide S Finder and Quick connect?

Does Xposed work?

Is it possible to get MM theme?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] rmanne:
I used heimdall both times. Absolutely no changes. That Odin 3.09 vs 3.10 was probably also just an accident, but who knows...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] OldeCrow:
hide S Finder / Quick connect

system/etc/permissions/

delete com.sec.feature.findo.xml

I would rename it to .old or .bak so you can enable it later if you want...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] IamaznX:
Thank you!

Do you by chance also know how to disable or change the current boot animation? (I don't like the white screen with T-Mobile)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] OldeCrow:
You can flash the international s5 or the new s6 s7 international is pretty clean too...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] BCrossan:
Happen to know where I could find those to check them out?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] blasdomin:
Yes xposed work I using amplify ,gravity box and firefds kit and all is ok until now
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] adamsa:
What methods are folks using to root? chainfire didn't seem to work (was spec'd for 5.1.1, so not a surprise), twrp isn't giving the option.

Don't much need it, other than it seems that smsbackuprestore may have put my backups someplace protected.

Also, CONFIRMED that Odin 3.10 doesn't work, while going back to 3.07 and flashing twice in a row did.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] OldeCrow:
Odined gpe1 and let it boot and setup.

shut down after first run and setup and Odined twrp 2.8.7.0

rebooted into recovery and flashed latest beta superSU it didn't take the first time so I rebooted into recovery and flashed it a second time. It took on the second try.

debloated some knox crap, froze security log crap, phone is laggy as sh*^ going back to thunderbolt when the battery is charged :p

I can wait for a cleaned up gpe1 from one of our great devs...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] Playb3yond:
The reason all of the s5's aren't booting after bring flashed is because the kernel marker is still custom and not Samsung official. Make sure the bl is marked Samsung official and yo should be fine when flashing with 3.11.1
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] hutson23:
I flashed via Odin 3.10.7 twice and all is good.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] k8108:
Coming from CM 13, after a complete wipe, This morning I downloaded gpe1 from sammobile and flashed it via Odin 3.10. Success. (for those who are hanging at the logo screen - mine sat there for a good 5 minutes) . If it still doesn't load, try booting into recovery and clearing the cache.

Then I flashed 3.0 TWRP via Odin and installed the latest SuperSu beta I could find. Success!

Then I installed and ran SD kitkat fixer by JRummy Apps. Success! Installed Titanium Backup and froze unwanted bloatware, then reloaded my apps. (tried SD Fix by NextApp first, but it didn't work)

It was relatively painless. I've been using my phone a lot today - calls, texts, games, Facebook, Internet. Battery life has been decent and no lags so far
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] IamaznX:
Do you have a list of the bloatware you removed? (Freezing in Titanium Backup is basically removing, correct?)

Does anyone know how to modify the weather widget on the lock screen? People say S5 uses Accuweather by default but accuweather is not installed.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] BCrossan:
I have a list of what I removed after pulling an all nighter. Keep in mind I am an extreme minimalist and only use the phone for making calls, emails and the occasional surfing.

Side note: Sure hoping this battery is giving false info... on Lollipop I could not charge my phone for 3 days and battery indicator was pretty spot on, yet on MM its showing me only having roughly 10 hrs left on the current charge (98%)...

Update: Phone overnight seems to have done some settling in, as battery now shows that after being on for 9 hrs that it still has approximately 18 hrs left.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] misican:
I know it seems strange but when first day i flashed to the mm with the file i downloaded from sammobile the phone became so fast but at the same time battery was draining so fast too, then i downloaded from mega yesterday and flashed as the same way as another one i did the battery is better now but its not as fast as it was. I am confused
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] ShinySide:
Stupid. The blue and white like the s6 and note 5 looks good as hell.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] OldeCrow:
ya flashed thunderbolt before bed last night, has the nice MM themed pull down. :good:

I've noticed permission issues still on gpe1 and this thunderbolt with sd cards, adaway can't import my backed up prefs from int or ext... the edits to profile.xml did allow root explorer proper access though... thinking this has something to do with 6x roms?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] BCrossan:
Would someone be able to take the new stock firmware and upgrade it with the MM theming ? And as a sidenote, its rather disturbing that this didn't come with the proper bells and whistles, which sucks since this will be our last "official" update. And still no flashlight toggle is pathetic.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] cognus:

Can someone confirm or deny that when adding/removing Quick Setting toggles, that after a restart they revert back to default?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] dtrinh4000:
Flashed w/ odin from stock and did not do a factory reset or anything. man this is fast, and seems to resolve any lag issues i've had w/ my phone

It says so in download mode
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] Zizou5b:
Noob question: How do I get MM after having a rooted( twrp-3.0.2-1 recovery) Lollipop firmware G900TUVS1FOL1 ?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] OddyAte:
Hello. I restored to the original firmware from a ROM, so I could try MM. It's way faster for now, I like it, but I have an issue/question. In lollipop, I found a method to edit settings.db and show a toggle for mobile hotspot and mobile data. In MM, the settings.db is locked, and I don't have access to it. I rooted my phone.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] BCrossan:
Download MM firmware... http://downloadmirror.co/android/2zSF/G900TUVU1GPE1_G900TTMB1GPE1_TMB.zip and use Odin to flash it and if you wanted rooted again... Odin flash TWRP and then flash SuperSU.

Might want to take a peek at this also... http://xdaforums.com/tmobile-galaxy-s5/general/root-how-to-root-sm-g900t-firmware-t3358190
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] Zizou5b:
Thank you!! that's actually how I rooted under Lollipop, I just thought that I had to unroot before flashing this firmware ^_^ Thanks for the clarification again!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] mgp53:
After this update, can I go back to CM13, if I choose to, without encountering issues with the updated bootloader or modem?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] thisisapoorusernamechoice:
I'm looking into that myself. According to this post here CM-13.0 now boots with the marshmallow bootloader. I'm building right now then I'll use that build to see for myself
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] Sean89us:
I can't get this to boot. Binary is marked "Custom" and won't change. wtf? Usually Odin clears that so it will boot. Does anybody have a workaround?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] ulises solis:
Any galaxy s7 ROMs for this phone?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] BCrossan:

How do you make sure that the BL is marked Samsung Official?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] ashraf sharif:
Edit :although the voice recorder works, I now see that the voice recorder does NOT update in the play store. I tried to update it on both my phone and my wife's phone.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] BCrossan:
I had to delete it with Titanium and install the newest version from Play Store.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] fuzzybabybunny:
Guys, someone needs to post clear directions for flashing successfully. I'm talking step by step directions.

- I downloaded the latest ROM (GPE1 for G900T)

- I went into my custom recovery and did a factory reset (I'm on Lollipop)

- I have Odin 3.10.7, SuperSU 2.74 Beta, TWRP 3.0.2.2 klte

I'm in Download Mode. CURRENT BINARY says Custom.

I'm in Odin with the ROM loaded into AP. I've unchecked Auto Reboot.

What do I do to make sure that CURRENT BINARY changes to Samsung Official? Am I supposed to tick the "Phone Bootloader Update" in Odin? Am I supposed to put another file into the BL box?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] fuzzybabybunny:
Ok, I got everything working. Boots. Recovery installed. It's rooted. It doesn't seem to lag. SD card doesn't get accessed in recovery (but easy fix is apparently to downgrade the recovery to TWRP 2.8.7.0 fixes it - I haven't confirmed this though). Marshmallow really screws with external SD card access privileges, so be prepared to mess up apps that depend on data stored on the external, like Amazon Music and Titanium Backup.

Initial Assumptions:

- You've already got a custom recovery installed.

Steps:

- download ROM and extract the MD5:

https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24545065934258898

- download TWRP Recovery 3.0.2.2 (.tar file):

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

- download Odin 3.10.7

http://cdn.droidviews.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/Odin3_v3.10.7.zip

- download Chainfire SuperSU:

https://download.chainfire.eu/964/SuperSU/BETA-SuperSU-v2.74-2-20160519174328.zip

- boot into recovery (vol up + home + power) and wipe system, cache, and dalvik cache

- boot into download mode (vol down + home + power) and open up Odin and connect the phone via USB to the computer

- In the AP box put the ROM MD5 file.

- In Options uncheck Auto-Reboot and Re-Partition. CHECK Phone Bootloader Update.

- Press Start

- After everything is done and you get a green success box in Odin, do a battery pull on your S5 and start it back up again.

- The S5 will now boot into Marshmallow. It was stuck on the T-Mobile loading screen for 10 minutes for me. So just let it sit. And sit. And sit.

- Once booted, drag the SuperSU .zip file into a directory that is on internal storage, NOT the SD card.

- Boot into Download mode again.

- Connect phone to computer.

- Close and restart Odin. Put the twrp-3.0.2-2-klte.img.tar file into AP. Uncheck auto-reboot.

- Press start, and do a battery pull after the green success box appears.

- Boot into Recovery - it should be the new TWRP one. Keep your device read-only if it asks you.

- Update using the SuperSU.zip file to root the phone.

- Reboot the phone normally. It should now be rooted.

- Install SD KitKat Fixer by JRummy Apps Inc. to allow apps to write to the external SD card.

- Download Titanium Backup Root and freeze all that goddamn Samsung BLOAT.

That should be about it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] Steve53:
I'm seeing this same issue, as well as "random" reboots.... stock (not-rooted), did the OTA update, cleared the cache (seemed to improve response time , the phone was a bit "laggy" after the update).
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] vinniej:
I have not seen this issue. I have made changes and rebooted multiple times. The changes to the toggles stayed.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] H3llstorm:
Why keep the phone read-only? Just curious.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] Sean89us:
Guys, I have a real problem here. It appears that trying to flash this update corrupted my partitions, and ODIN can't seem to fix it either. I can get TWRP to boot but it can't mount any partitions. Last time this happened I was able to use Samsung Smart Switch to do an emergency firmware recovery and that fixed it, this time SS doesn't even see the phone. I've tried several firmware files, and several versions of ODIN, all the same result. Android won't boot, it just gets stuck at the bootloader screen indefinitely.

Please, if someone knows the answer I would really like to get my phone back.

---------- Post added at 08:25 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:12 AM ----------

UPDATE:

FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF

ok.

so.

After the last flash that I did, I went into the stock recovery, did a factory reset and wipe cache, then rebooted, and now it's working. Sitting at the T-Mobile screen now.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] Danny Noman:
The only way to make it update was to convert it to user app, uninstall and reinstall from play store. Also, if you use twrp use 3.0.2.0 to have access to external sd card. Newer 3.0.2.1 cannot use anything bu internal memory.

---------- Post added at 12:36 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:27 PM ----------

Happened to me on 2 phones. Had to pull battery 2 or 3 times after waiting for a few minutes. Every time it will advance to a new step. It was also getting very hot and draining battery like crazy. Then everything was good. Also, battery life was bad for about 2 days, but I restarted quite a few times and cleared app cahe.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] BCrossan:
I'm glad I'm not the only one... very annoying to say the least, but thankfully I don't restart too often.

Does anyone have an issue with screen brightness? I haven't been outside since the update till today and while inside I noticed when I turned the screen on it was extra dark and then lightened up as if the brightness was lagging... but then when outside in full sun today... the screen was black as night and wouldn't brighten till I touched the screen. I had to uncheck Auto for the brightness.

I can say this though so far., that minus the couple small broken things.. noticing much faster response over Lollipop and I'm literally ecstatic that the WiFi calling works perfectly. Under Lollipop the WiFi calling would constantly turn off and on and even when it was on.... the phone never once would ring and I would always have to listen to a voice mail. Under MM it rings every time! And I thought my battery life was good under Lollipop... MM is better. I'm 1 1/2 days on full charge with moderate use. So all in all I would say I'm damn happy with MM which is a first for me to say with any new firmware.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] cognus:
quick question for the advanced guys: is TWRP the best recovery for us to be using? with MM? on this device?

thx
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] BCrossan:
I think its a preference thing really, but for me I used CWM yrs back and always struggled reading the little lines of text... then tried TWRP and never looked back with it's much nicer, easier to see and user friendly interface.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] fuzzybabybunny:
Eh, I just didn't want to rock the boat, so to speak. I had never seen that option before when installing other recoveries, so I decided to just ignore it in case it did something unexpected.

If someone more knowledgeable on the subject can chime in that'd be great.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] ulises solis:

I managed to root it, flash twrp recovery through odin, and then flash Supersu 2.71 through twrp.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] Steve53:
Well, I also am seeing #6 (in addition to #1 - the Quick Setting Toggles reverting back to default) - the message I get says "Unable to use fingerprints after restarting device, Enter password." I'm wondering if this is supposed to be some sort of security "feature"? Once I enter the backup password, the fingerprint scanner works just fine (until the next reboot).
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] BCrossan:
A flawed security system... most of the issues all revolve around reboots nullifying settings and with the new permissions system... sounds like something in there is borked.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] onelif2live85:
I attempted to flash this way. with odin 3.10.7 however F. reset time is selected in option do I uncheck that?

I tried it both ways and nothing happened this is what I got.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] onelif2live85:
Turns out I'm impatient.... didn't let the phone connect. Was able to have a successful flash. However my phone wouldn't get past the two bike screen waited 20 min. Ended up trying with Odin from my home computer which was a MUCH older version and not worked first time.

Every one is saying they cleared the cache off the apps. I know how to do this individually is there a way to do this in one step?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] onelif2live85:
I tried to do this but root explorer says that it cannot be renamed because the file system is read only? I'm rooted did I do something wrong?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] Danny Noman:
Upper part under status bar touch on r/w to make it read/write.

Suggest not to delete but to rename in case you want to go back someday.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] onelif2live85:
OK I see where you're talking about now. It show's only r/o with no option. I followed fuzzybabybunny 's little step by step. It asked when launching twrp if I should keep it read only and as he said I did. Is this why I cannot edit it? Can I change this setting? Thanks on advance!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] neflictus:
Flashed with odin. Everything was fine. Green light and all. Pass. Reset.

How long does it take for the phone to start after the update ?

The apps were optimized. Now the TMobile Logo is on. The blue led is on also.

10 minutes already.

Do I wait some more ?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] fuzzybabybunny:
When we say to clear the cache we mean to clear the cache when you are inside recovery. There's 'cache' and also ' Dalvik cache.' Clear both.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] neflictus:
How do I root this version ?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] Danny Noman:
System has to stay read only. Root explorer can and will mount it write enabled when you tell it to. Right up there it says Mounted as R/O and next to it says MOUNT R/W (highlighted). Touch on that. When done, touch again to remount R/O.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] OldeCrow:
I use root explorer for my root file management, it had some permission issues with external sd until I made the Profile.xml edits mentioned earlier in this topic not sure if it fixed internal issues as well but root explorer asks to make permission changes to folders ( R/W ) when it needs to to allow file and folder renames like that... I haven't noticed any issues with permissions on the internal sd...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] onelif2live85:
Man, it's been so long. I was into this stuff back with windows with my ppc's. So I think my issue is I'm using explorer.... not root explorer.....
