You tried to boot to download mode with battery pulled - volume down, power, home button?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] boblpn:
Okay, now it seems like I 'might' be getting somewhere. Yes, now the battery is OUT, and it did boot to ODIN, and I think it might be doing something. See?, need the hand holding. Will update, in a bit to see if this works. Thank you!
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] boblpn:
The phone says it's d/l, but there doesn't seem to be much happening on the ODIN screen.

You have to have usb hooked to pc , open Odin on pc. Then press up on phone then load factory tar to Odin

Working Root Method For 5.0 Lollipop Roms [OE1] [OG5] [OK3] [PB1] [3-3-16]
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] boblpn:
Okay, it went through what appeared to be an install, then it showed that it was upgrading, through 145, did a reboot, but now all it is doing is turning on and off, showing the GS5 screen with the Custom padlock logo.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] johnnycooper:
Pull battery , boot to recovery, wipe cache. If that dont work, start over
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] boblpn:
It prepared the phone, rebooted, showed the red VZW screen, and now seems to be stuck in a boot loop. I have done a battery pull, and rebooted, but still stuck in a loop.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] boblpn:
Should I try installing a different ROM? If yes, which one? Can you provide a link?

question..What if he ONLY wants to go back to his KK 4.4...all he has to do is ODIN the NCG, towelroot, install SuperSU and then flash the 4.4 and he'll be back...what is being offered may not be what he wants and then may not go back to KK if he so desires...you got to give and explain to users what will happen if done...

It won't download anything unless you push it using Odin. Boot into recovery and give me the build number at the top. Then we can find the factory firmware to push with Odin in download mode.

:good: If you have not yet gotten this fixed let me know, I just went through a fresh rebuild last night starting with odin and then installing 4.4.1 rooting it, and i brought it up to cynagenmod 13 6.0.3

Let me know and I can upload the files and instructions for you.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] boblpn:
Success, thank you!

Thank you to all for putting up with my ineptness...I did get it running, but not with first phone; the first phone I had, it seemed to just be slowly dying. It got to the point where, no matter what I did, finally, it wouldn't even boot, zip, zero, nada. I ended up replacing it with another, and did finally, using the instructions, get root.

Now, I do have an additional question...after root, if I am not interested in , or not planning / intending to install any custom ROMs, is it safe to remove SS, or is it needed? And I assume that the KingRoot needs to be on the phone, or will lose root? I'm sure that BB and SU need to stay as well. When I had old phone rooted, I did not have SS on it, and it worked just fine, but that was a couple years ago, and I know that things have changed with methods, build numbers, and I think that SS might be more improved over a couple years back.

Thank you

Chaps some advice please

Sold my xbox 360 for around £320 on ebay

Guy paid via paypal echeque

Took around 10 days to clear and its gone through today.

I emailed the guy and asked why he paid via echeque and not normal instant pay via paypal. In his response he was a little confused as to why it was echeque and came back to me later and found that his card had expired and hence the echeque. He asked me to refund the echeque, and he would repay via proper paypal with his new card details. I told him to leave it as paypal where processing it, he agreed.

Now the problem is that although the cash has cleared, he isnt verified and that means that I am a seller am not protected. What do you suggest? Should I ship the item? I sold something of similar value on ebay previously, and they reversed the transaction because the account had be hijacked. I don’t trust paypal anymore….
[Off-topic] Jazzamataz:

[Off-topic] triplejay:
just fyi i bought a prophet battery on ebay, it arrived today. I paid as usual using paypal and only found out after a week that I had paid by e-cheque.

It took about a month arrive so probably the seller decided to wait a bit as well.

I didn't even know what an e-cheque was!
[Off-topic] winwiz:
what is an echeque and how does it get paid? the chap i spoke to said that it was sent as an echeque because his credit card had expired and that was the reason.

Beware of Paypal

I was involved in a law suit with them 2 years ago. I lost over $1300.00 over 2 years in 2 transactions which there were disputes from credit card co's. and it was 6 months or more after the transactions took place. Paypal would not give me any info on the dispute they just took the money out of my account. I asked for the name of the person and the card number or the contact info with the credit card co. and Paypal said they would dispute it for me and let me know within 90 days and that they couldn't give me info because of privacy issues and to just trust them . Well I trusted them I lost $1300.00 $950 the first time and then $350 this was 5 years ago 3 years ago I was contacted by a law firm that invited me to join a class action suit. Paypal lost the case 9.5 million, my end $24.73 but you know I am happy Paypal had to pay since I only got 25 bucks you can imagine how many people were included in that judgment .We know the Law firm got half but 4.5 million and divided that into payments the size of mine there must have been thousands of people that had the same problem i did. They claim not to be Bank but charge fees as a bank. Because they are not a Bank they are not regulated by the federal government and that make it easy for them to do what they can get away with, whereas a Bank all the T's must be crossed and numbers have to add up. I do not leave money in Paypal I no longer link them with a Real Bank. I use a credit card that has a $300.00 limit to link to Paypal if you like to ebay you almost have to use Paypal unless the Seller has a store and they route u to their credit card service and then your taken a chance.
[Off-topic] edbutler:
E-checks

One more thing if Paypal paid with a e-check from your account that means you linked a Checking Account to Paypal when you signed up to paypal and any time you buy something and you do not have enough money in your paypal account to pay for the item. Then Paypal will automatically setup an e-check payment from your bank account. This is dangerous because if someone gets your Id info even though you have no money in your paypal account they can still get access to your linked checking account by making a payment to someone via Paypal, Paypal will simply turn it into a e-check and start the process of withdrawing the funds from you bank account. Be careful !
[Off-topic] winwiz:
many thanks for the info guys.

i'll wait until the funds clear into my bank account and then ship it out

For the past few months I've been getting an error "searching for gps" (or something) pretty regularly when using navigation. It sucks because it takes 5+ minutes to reconnect and I end up missing turns :/ .

6. Flashed original Stock 4.1.2 with success (Passed). Stuck in samsung animated logo. Retried new flash. Same problem.

7. Applied update to have Philz Touch 5 again in Recovery Mode (instead of stock). I think it's rooted then?

8. I do the mount SD card in Philz Recovery, 2 drives show up in Windows 8.1, but I cannot enter them (says insert drive). This as always been like this, even before this event.

7. Can go into recovery mode (Philz) and download mode.

What shall I do?

What did you do before getting that error?

Install TWRP with Odin and do a backup of everything before going any further, you can extract your data with a USB connected to the charger port.

After that download the firmware which match the version you have installed and reinstall it with Odin, don't modify any advanced option or you could brick your device.
