[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BeardedShark:
No, it has to be in download mode?

PS. Tryed now in download mode too and still nothing...runs conneting... continuously and nothing...
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] keithross39:
There is an option in kies called (i think) recovery mode.....

You have to be ready with your serial number and device variant....though as your device could either be the 900 or 901 this may not work....

You boot to download mode, run kies, connect your device and select recovery.

Then you enter the serial and device variant, and kies *should* download and install the correct firmware. If you *do* try this, my instinct is telling me you should enter SM-G901F as the variant for the first attempt, and if it doesn't work, enter SM-G900F for the second attempt.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BeardedShark:
Yes [MENTION=4806698]keithross39[/MENTION] i already done this and yes the Serial Number it`s ok when i enter the Model SM-G901F only, when i enter SM-G900F it says the S/N is not correct.

So i done this but he still continuously restarts.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] keithross39:
Well at least that confirms which variant it is.....The SM-G901F.

All uncertainty on that point (at least) has now been resolved....

The fact that Samsung's Kies database recognises the combination of the serial number and the 901 variant, but not the serial number and the 900 variant....

Kinda speaks for itself.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kdio:
Hi guys

This seems a too bright sign pointing to the problem (not exactly the solution). He is signaling a difference between expected and found partition size.

IMHO, that would be my next move BUT we have to consult some more specialist before engaging.

Will make some calls (PMs indeed) and lets see who answers.

Cheers.

[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jesec:
Simply because your phone is actually G901F.

The model in the Download Mode is always correct.

Flash stock firmware of G901F via Odin.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BeardedShark:
Already did that [MENTION=6371894]jesec[/MENTION], thank you for reply.

I wait to see what ideas [MENTION=2147860]Kdio[/MENTION] and [MENTION=4806698]keithross39[/MENTION] have :D
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kdio:
Hi Master jesec

Thank you so much for getting involved. Really appreciated.

That was my thought indeed. Initially he had tried a T-Mobile 901F firmware with no lucky. Lately, as my recommendation (not so insightful) he tried with an international version with no lucky too.

The error that is bugging me is

[MENTION=4806698]keithross39[/MENTION] was intending and I now do agree that the most probable solution would be a flash including a PIT file but, as we both lack the experience with 901F variants, that's why I asked your precious insight.

Thank you very much (again)

.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] keithross39:
The 'repair' firmware I linked to should have included a pit file in the downloaded zip. I was hesitant about suggesting it's use until we could be certain of the variant in question.....now that kies has been attempted and while it didn't work, it *did* seem to indicate that the device was in fact the 901F variant. So I'm thinking that the OP *should* be ok to go ahead and try it.....
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kdio:
[MENTION=4806698]keithross39[/MENTION]

134% agreed.

But OP shall acknowledge the risks he is taking and that this is his decision to make.

As XDA representatives we are here to suggest and guide only.

Guys i understand the risks, and there will never be your fault for what i do. I came here for help, i am very happy for your effort and very grateful, thank you all again.

So please tell me what to try for the last try or last solution to see what happens :D.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] keithross39:
I think we're down to the last option.....

Flashing the pit file. BUT some advice before you do......

During the pit flash.....

1) DO NOT allow the PC/Laptop to power off.....

2) DO NOT disconnect the phone from the PC/Laptop.

If either of those occur mid flash, the phone will be IRRECOVERABLY BRICKED....end of story.....use only as paperweight.

Option 1.....download the correct Lollipop firmware for your device and flash along with the pit file.

Option 2.....flash the previously linked repair firmware along with the pit file (this is a 'secondary' option as I'm not sure if that firmware is carrier or generic).

I personally would stay away from marshmallow firmwares if you use that pit file as the partition layout *may* have changed on marshmallow and flashing that pit (in this particular case) may cause more problems.....

In addition, before starting up odin (but after downloading the firmwares) disable your anti virus and firewall and use task manager to kill all kies processes (these will interfere with odin) I was going to mention about making sure you had the most up to date usb drivers, but as you've got kies they're already in place.

I'd also advise waiting for further corroboration of my suggestions before you begin...... [MENTION=2147860]Kdio[/MENTION] & [MENTION=6371894]jesec[/MENTION]
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kdio:
Hi [MENTION=4806698]keithross39[/MENTION]

Your instructions are perfect and I do agree, given the error message, that it's the most

probable

successful choice.

I do only suggest waiting for a variant specialist (like master [MENTION=6371894]jesec[/MENTION] ) to verify those steps.

I will be cheering right here :victory:

.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] keithross39:
With further thought, I'd advise staying with the downloaded firmware (rather than the repair firmware) and try the flash however many times it takes to get success. Try different USB leads (your primary lead should be the one that came with the phone). Use different usb ports on the PC/Laptop (ideally, the port should be one that is connected directly to the PC/Laptop motherboard rather than one connected by a 'hub'). Try different PC's/Laptops with other OS versions on them (what operating system is currently being used?)

All these variables *can* mean the difference between a successful flash and a bootloop......

Odin flashing can be a bit like playing the lottery......you play your same numbers week after week and win nothing, then one week, out of the blue, you win the jackpot......
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BeardedShark:
[MENTION=4806698]keithross39[/MENTION], i didn`t tryed again with the repair firmware anyway.

I used the original usb cable for flashing. I have in the house 2 laptops and 2 pc, 1 pc and 1 laptop with windows 7, other laptop windows 8 and other pc with windows 10, i flashed only on the pc with windows 10, and with Kies on the windows 7 pc. I didn`t used HUB, i connected directly to the pc usb.

Please let me some links with some firmwares, or please say wich firmware to try and wich to not try. Thank you.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] keithross39:
This is the sammobile page for 901F firmwares.......

http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/SM-G901F/

I'd advise staying with the lollipop versions......

That pit file that came with the repair firmware should work with them.

Just continue to try to flash the pit and firmware on any/all of those machines until you get success.

But for all your machines remember to disable anti virus, firewall and kies processes before you start. Also, make sure you have the Samsung usb drivers installed on every machine.....oh, and one more thing, right click on the odin app icon and RUN AS ADMINISTRATOR.....

Do this as many times as it takes, across all your machines until it works.....

Fixing your device is in YOUR hands, and only perseverance will work......

Are you trying to flash 5.0.2 lollipop?

If you are, try that pit that was bundled with the repair firmware. It needs to be flashed at the same time as the firmware.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vader20:
Hey! Just to share some thoughts, i had a similar issue with my 901f and after trying everything i could think of, most of which was mentioned on this thread, i went to samsung service for warranty and got my motherboard replaced. I think my internal storage got corrupted and would not boot for anything in the world, but it's kinda strage because i didn't flash any custom roms or root. The only thing i flashed was stock roms to find better performace and battery life and i tried to flash the 6.0.1 stock roms but failed as the partitions are not the same. I hope you get your device to boot and please keep us posted with your progress. Best of luck!

[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vader20:
I read about the posibility to flash custom recovery such as twrp to try and replace stock recovery flash custom rom but, as flashing a custom recovery voids warranty in my country, i have not tried it. Another method i read about i reflashing the bootloader with a special .pit file but the source thread was about the 900f, not the 901f. If, by any chance, i couldn't fix my phone with the warranty certificate at samsung, i would search for a used 901f with functional motherboard and do the repaire myself (there are tutorials for disassembly). I actually did a search on a local website and found a 100 dollars used 901f with cracked screen. There is a risc involved but I was prepared to buy it in case samsung wouldn't fix my phone.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BeardedShark:
[MENTION=4806698]keithross39[/MENTION], yes i flash only 5.0.2 Lollipop and every time i put that .pit file in the flashing procces. [MENTION=3629718]vader20[/MENTION], i will keep this thread with any progress i make.

[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] G901FGSMH:
Hello All,

I read this thread and take all, step by step. My phone sudennly has to boot loop. I don't do any flash before it happened.

There was no way to get into recovery mode.

I download the repair rom and flash, but it doesn't help.

All flashes made succesfully. When you flashes your phne restart (because of the battery problem) or something like that?

How do I know that the battery is the problem? When the phone is in download mode battery seems to be alright? The phone doesn't turn off.

Best regards...
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
I just ordered a new SM-G900F from a seller on eBay (risky, I know), with the express purpose of flashing it with LineageOS (LOS). When I received it, the model indicated on the sticker behind the battery was SM-G900F. However, when I enter download mode, it indicates SM-G901F. So I wasn't sure which model I should believe. This led to one of my mistakes: flashing the SM-G900F ROM from LOS. I have since learned that the model in download mode is the correct one.

The other mistakes I made was in not making a backup, and not checking the CSC while booted into the stock ROM that came on the device. Now I have a G901F that has the exact same problem as [MENTION=7538999]BeardedShark[/MENTION], right down to the same boot loop and inability to boot into recovery.

I have tried everything that was suggested in this thread, including flashing the firmware and PIT file from the previously linked recovery firmware. I also tried flashing just the PIT file from the recovery firmware along with an EUR stock ROM from updateto.com for the same OS version (5.0.2) as the recovery PIT. I still cannot boot into recovery.

As an aside, I'm new-ish to all of this, so I'm not sure if firmware includes a recovery image, or a system image. The one I downloaded consists of four tar.md5 files (AP, BL, CP, and CSC).

The curious thing is, after I flash either of the options in the previous paragraph, and after the phone reboots, a screen appears with an android with a rotating geometric shape in its open chest and a progress bar below it. The progress bar only gets about a quarter of the way, and then reverses, and then the phone reboots into the boot loop! What is that about?! Should it not go to completion? Why would it do this?

I hope this last bit of information gives someone a clue as to what is going on with my phone. I am including [MENTION=4806698]keithross39[/MENTION], [MENTION=2147860]Kdio[/MENTION], [MENTION=6371894]jesec[/MENTION] since you were all either helping or were referenced in this thread.

Also, [MENTION=7538999]BeardedShark[/MENTION] wrote that he solved his problem with a new battery. Is that a thing!? Could it be a simple matter of an old battery? The phone I bought should be "new". In other words, it hasn't been used, but it was likely sitting in a warehouse/store/basement for several years before I acquired it.

I would love to get this thing working, as I have invested money/time into it, and I don't know if the vendor will take it back. Also, I feel that it is my fault for screwing up the phone, and that the vendor should not be stuck with it.

I would appreciate any help.

[T-Mobile LG G5 Questions & Answers] kchannel9:
Simply being in my pocket. You'll see on the forums this is happening to a lot of people. The consensus is that LG phoned it in on the camera glass quality.
[T-Mobile LG G5 Questions & Answers] kms108:

Just looking back at my camera len, I do have a deep scratch, but lucky I have a PET lens protector on, so it's only the protector that is scratched, at least I do have 3 spare one left.
[T-Mobile LG G5 Questions & Answers] kchannel9:
Yeah I thought the same thing before I pulled the phone out of my pocket, nothing out of the ordinary had happened, and it was mysteriously broken. It's going to be like a recall if it gets really bad...
[T-Mobile LG G5 Questions & Answers] darkpower_4:
It doesn't take much pressure to brake it but it doesn't just do it on its own. This isn't the 6p being too tight around the glass and it breaking from expansion [MENTION=4398823]kchannel9[/MENTION] just lift off what's left of your glass and peel it off no need to open the phone up. Just make sure no glass is left in it when you put the new one on. It should come with adhesive. And don't touch the lens! Cover it up if it breaks all the way it out or tape over it if it is just cracked to protect the camera! I might get the acrylic one to put over my glass replacement one now that I see how fragile it is.
[T-Mobile LG G5 Questions & Answers] srimay:
It's simple to replace. Mine cracked and I ordered 2 off eBay. I had to replace it for a warranty exchange. Just use tweezers to get under the glass in the crack and peel it out. Insert the new adhesive sticker, then lay the new glass down. Takes about 5-10 minutes.
[T-Mobile LG G5 Questions & Answers] kchannel9:
Just replaced mine, was easy. The acrylic one I got from eBay/China works fine, though there are visible lines in the acrylic, it did not seem to effect the pictures taken. If I find with more testing that it does, I will get the glass again instead, and also add a glass protector as well. But for now seems fine.
[T-Mobile LG G5 Questions & Answers] kchannel9:
Ok nevermind, after taking some pictures in full sun it is apparent that the acrylic adds a ghostly fuzziness to the images where there once was impressively sharp clarity. Going to order the glass version and a tempered glass protector for that piece as well. Really annoying, you'd think a $700 flagship phone wouldn't have this issue.
