Hi mate, of course this is a difference of opinion and I'm not posting here to argue with you so much as to give reasons for my post above.

When I say warranty issues, I mean in a sense that if you flash anything to your samsung then you've voided your warranty. If you customise on day 1, knox efuse are blown and it's impossible to revert what you have done. In this case your warranty is voided and samsung can refuse to honour any warranty issues irrelevant to your flashing. Basically you make changes to software on your device and later there is a hardware issue such as microphone not working - samsung don't have to honour that claim.

Flashing is a complete pain in the bum, to be honest. What makes it harder is these forums don't contain all of the information you need in once place. Compared to my previous devices such as HTC, you simply do a wipe and install the new rom. With the samsung you need to do the same PLUS find and flash the correct bootloader and modem. And this isn't even taking into consideration the knox trip issue. The roms aren't cross-compatible unless I've missed that bit of information? You technically can flash a g900F ROM to a g900i but to get it to boot you need to do additional steps. NFC and call recording wont work, though. So, no you can't really flash that way. Samsung may have made it easier for you guys in the USA, not sure.

I disagree about the bloatware statement, samsung have their own rubbish in there as well and most of it is redundant and not necessary. There's a samsung app store and a samsung account thing that lets you find your phone - google has all of that.

Lastly, when you trip knox this actually physically prevents some functionality on your phone, but I've never tried using that functionality anyway (although I did want to try it out). From memory this is a secure parition on the phone that you set up for your work, which is completely separate from the personal things on your phone which can be seen to make it more secure.

All the best,
[Galaxy S 5 General] Youdoofus:
I wasn't trying to argue either. It's rather hard to express tone over text :) I've just never had any trouble with flashing stuff on a Samsung since the epic touch 4g. Htcs have that goofy bootloader unlock that has to be done via htcdev.com. The newest Samsung I'd be willing to use is the S5 anyways because of the removable battery, external storage and waterproofing. The s6 sucks and the s7 has that dumb encrypted storage that made root hard for a while. Samsung's are far from perfect, and I'd likely be looking at a OnePlus or a Huawei in the future if I was shopping for a phone, but for those looking at either the second hand market, refurbs or a new one available for stupid cheap, S5s are great phones still.

Again, 0 arguing from me, like you said, just a differing opinion. Cheers mate! Btw, judging my the terms you used, I take it that you're in the UK, and thank goodness Jeremy Clarkson and the boys are back!!
[Galaxy S 5 General] Lane W.:
Should I use the links in this "older article" to possibly get to vroot? Or do you have something more current? Thanks
[Galaxy S 5 General] Youdoofus:
Vroot has a site. Lemme look

http://vrootdownload.info/download/
[Galaxy S 5 General] Lane W.:
Fantastic, thanks. Just to be sure, I want to use the one click root APK the part at the top under the first description, correct? The second section, as far as I can tell, is for iroot via a PC?

Is Titanium compatible with this method of root? What about recovery? Does Vroot have its own method or could I use TWRP or SafeStrap? Have you had any complications with the modem or WiFi using your device with Vroot?

Thank you!!
[Galaxy S 5 General] dieselboy:
I said that I wasn't arguing for that very reason - I didn't want my second post to come across in a negative way. I could see that your post had come across in a good light and wanted to keep it that way :)

I am from UK but living in Australia at the moment. I last heard that Chris Evans has gone from the new Top Gear - thank F... for that, he's the biggest pleb going and watching the first couple of episodes were extremely painful and cringy. A number of things Chris said in the first show were somewhat not completely correct and I eventually switched it off.

Really looking forward to watching Clarkson and the gang - they're entertaining. Their top gear was more like a sit-com, which is what it's grown into and it works pretty well. Anyone in the family can watch it even if they know nothing about cars :) - I'll have to google for it because I don't know any details about their new show.
[Galaxy S 5 General] Youdoofus:
redacted
[Galaxy S 5 General] Youdoofus:
Yes, one is an apk the other is an exe

Titanium is compatible with root period :)

Recovery is entirely aside from root of any method, so twrp or SafeStrap is fine depending on the model you get.

Nope, no complications
[Galaxy S 5 General] Lane W.:
I hate to change subject but I think this (see screenshot) explains why Kingroot didn't work (ie s5 not recognized as attached to pc). If this is, in fact why, it would appear I have 2 root choices - Vroot or Kingroot. Vroot looks a lot easier w/ no need for a PC and I'd like to know which you would choose if you were me?

Awesome that Titanium is compatible. Do you have any method of Recovery or would you just use a factory reset if necessary?

Thanks a lot for your guidance! :good:
[Galaxy S 5 General] Lane W.:
Forgot the screenshot
[Galaxy S 5 General] Youdoofus:
If Odin isn't seeing the phone, try reinstalling drivers on the computer. I'd use the computer one. The apk installs a weird root manager too

But tbh, I would only use iroot if other methods don't work.
[Galaxy S 5 General] Lane W.:
I'll try to get to a PC & try the s5-to-pc method. Maybe Saturday but possibly not until Monday.

I remember seeing Odin on the monitor, but have no experience w/ Odin & was puzzled since I saw Odin on PC but the PC didn't see the S5 :confused:

Perhaps *Download not recognizing s5 as a media device* as my earlier screenshot shows was the cause?

***Edited 3:50 pm 8/26***

However, if the PC didnâ??t recognize the s5, why did I see the green Android guy and Downloading Do Not Turn off Target? How long should root take (@painiac's version)? I left the phone connected & alone for like an hour & nothing happened. I thought this was when "if root hangs pull battery, downloader, selects bat.2"...which were written in his step by step instructions.
[Galaxy S 5 General] otter34:
I'm in the same boat. I got the S5 Friday because I thought it could be rooted. Yesterday when it arrived I was quite surprised and pissed off. I only got the 5 instead of 6 because it could be rooted!

---------- Post added at 01:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:12 PM ----------

Iroot apk is not allowed to install on my phone, same with the other one click methods
[Galaxy S 5 General] Lane W.:
Yeah, that's why after losing my s4 recently I got the s5 not a 6 or 7. Try this. But before you do reread this thread you posted in cause some people (and me) had questions.

http://xdaforums.com/verizon-galaxy-s5/general/guide-painiacs-essential-guide-to-t3319848/page1

Read the above url completely, then read it again. It looks so simple but take your time to not make any errors. Be sure to download current Samsung drivers to your PC.
[Galaxy S 5 General] Youdoofus:
which one did you get?
[Galaxy S 5 General] Turbonerd:
Go with TWRP. Better all around, brain dead simple to use, and makes possible the "PC-less" flash you wanted.
[Galaxy S 5 General] Lane W.:
Good to know TWRP is compatible. I don't need to flash any ROM's I just want root now before the current access/vulnerabilitys are patched by an update.

You more on board w/ PC-less (vroot) than by PC? Which did you use, or which would you use today?
[Galaxy S 5 General] Youdoofus:
Still need to know which one you got
[Galaxy S 5 General] Lane W.:
I thought what model I have was established earlier in this thread, sorry. S5 I've had for about a month now (w/ Developer Options). I've done nothing else yet. Phone info screenshots

below.

I want root now before any vulnerability is patched in an update. I don't need any ROM at this point, I want root 1st (to be like the S4 I recently lost) and will research ROM's once root is obtained.

Thanks!
[Galaxy S 5 General] Youdoofus:
No need to be sorry, I probably just missed it. I'm blind :) root for the g900v is available now too. Lemme see if I can find it. Might need to unlock the bootloader and flash twrp
[Galaxy S 5 General] Lane W.:
If they didn't sneak this stupid marshmallow update on me when I was out to dinner 2 weeks ago (phone was in the car) I would still be have lollipop :mad:

Can I use Vroot? It looks infinitely easier then other methods connecting to a PC.
[Galaxy S 5 General] Youdoofus:
Worst thing that could happen is it would fail
[Galaxy S 5 General] homing23:
CF-auto root might be the best option to use.

I got a great deal on a Note 4 recently so I went with that.

My phone is on G928VVRU2BPD4. It's a Verizon carrier unlocked phone I currently use it with AT&T I'm on marshmallow 6.0.1. Since I use it on AT&T I cannot get any Ota updates I have to use odin. My question is can I switch it to AT&T firmware? Also is the AT&T version root able if I am able to switch it?
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rainbow_Dash:
Unfortunately no.If y had an....lets say g928f carrier locked then yes switching is easy but since you have an g928v (the v at the end stands for verizon) you cannot change to another firmware since its a verizon model and there are no other firmwares for it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] huzaifaaleem:
So yesterday I got this Samsung Galaxy S III that was I535 but had a I9300 4.1.2 Firmware in it. (I don't know how was it there) It had been rooted. I don't know about the bootloader if it was locked or unlocked.

I wanted to install the official firmware for i535 so I used Odin to flash I535's official 4.4.2 (downloaded from sammobile.com) and it worked fine. I then used towelroot v3 apk to root the phone and it got rooted again, then I used safestrap 3.71 to install custom recovery and that too went well.

I then flashed a zip to get Motolora Cricles widget, although that didn't install properly but my phone was still working fine until then. Then I used EZUnlock14 to unlock my bootloader and the app supposedly decraled that my bootloader was "now" unlocked, again I couldn't confirm because that's when the problem starts.

After closing that app I plugged in my phone through usb cable to my laptop and had been using it for facebook and texting. Then I turned off my phone and it never turned on back again.

When I connect it to the PC now, it is not recognized and Device manager shows QHSUSB_DLOAD device

I hope somebody can help me with that.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Youdoofus:
well, ya dun messed it up. But its fixable. For future reference, never try a bootloader unlock app, thats what messed yours up. Those apps only work on 4.2.2 bootloader phones and have caused many a headache for lots of folks. Lemme grabe you a link quick.

[Samsung Galaxy J5 Questions & Answers] rjrulz007:
Actually Odin must detect the phone in download mode if correct drivers are installed. You may try this. Try to install TWRP recovery in your device. And than install CM 12.1 in it. But the best option is to download latest firmware for your mobile from Sammobile & flash it via Odin. Try to reinstall the drivers in your PC and see. Hope it will help.

[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IHaveNoImagination:
(TL: DR below)So there's a bit of a story here, I installed cyanogenmod 13 iirc on my phone a while ago and none of the google services would work, so I used TWRP to flash SuperSU and another version of Open Gapps on my phone. The phone got stuck on the application initialization thing for when android updates apps for a new version. After 30 minutes, I restarted my phone like a moron and it wouldn't go past the boot screen. I can't even access the bootloader anymore, holding down the buttons doesn't do anything. I've tried using the android tools and adb sees the phone but it's unauthorized and I don't know how to authorize it without using my phone.

TL: DR: flashed supersu and gapps on cm13 and its in an infinite boot screen, cant get to bootloader either. only thing i managed to do is get the phone to show up with "adb devies" as unauthorized. plz help ;(
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OhioYJ:
Why can't you access the bootloader? Can't you just turn the phone off and hold the volume button down and power button on?
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IHaveNoImagination:
No, I get the "Can't check device for corruption" screen then the "Android" screen also shows your bootloader is unlocked and holding down the buttons does absolutely nothing.

It will only pop up when your booting sequence goes beyond boot-loader. Trying holding power+vol down till you get bootloader or 1 min whichever is minimum.

I'm trying to figure out if I can flash a different variant ROM to my G530AZ. Being that there aren't any rom's available for my phone.
[Galaxy Grand Prime Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vince2678:
There are a few factors involved in this.

First, if you consider doing this, you'll want to get the ROM for the device that matches the specifications of yours as closely as possible.

The second is, it's likely that the sizes of system partitions will differ between variants of the same device, so there would be a possibility of messing up the partitions on your device if you flashed the image. You should be aware of this risk, and should be prepared either to:

Manually resize the system image to fit your device, then flash it.

Just flash it anyways and hope for the best.

You can always try porting the device yourself to a custom OS for yourself, or put in a request for that in any appropriate forums.
[Galaxy Grand Prime Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dante Enoshima:
I can say yes or no, because like what vince2678 said, it would mess up your partition, but even if you succeed it, you'll have more problems, such as some functions won't work due to differences between libs from the rom you just flashed and the libs that your device need for working functionalities

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] pyro9219:
Maybe this helps?

Q. What are Text Alerts? (http://www.wireless.att.com/learn/messaging-internet/messaging/faq-text-messaging.jsp 2/3rds down the page)

A. Text Alerts are personalized notifications sent directly to your phone, at times scheduled by you. Manage your day and plan weekends by keeping up-to-date on local weather, headlines, sports scores, personal appointments, and so much more.

Q. How can I set up Text Alerts?

A. You first need to register at Text Alerts. Once you are registered, select My Info. Then select Alerts in the content category box. You will be prompted to choose the time of day, the day of the week, and other relevant details about each alert. Select Save Alert to complete the setup of your alert.

Q. Where can I find the authorization code that is sent to my wireless device when I register?

A. It will appear as a text message on the screen of your wireless device in your message inbox in just a few seconds. Refer to your wireless device's user guide if you have questions on how to read text messages.

Q. If I have my phone turned off or I am on a call, will I still receive my alerts and text messages?

A. The message will appear if you power on within a 24-hour period. If you are on a call, you will continue to receive text messages and alerts, which will not interrupt your call. To ensure that you receive up-to-date information, alerts that are more than 24 hours old will not be sent to your phone.

Q. How many alerts can I store on my wireless device at one time?

A. Memory varies per wireless device—refer to your user manual for details. The number of messages that can be stored is determined by the amount of storage available on your wireless device.

Q. How long can I store my alerts after I have received them?

A. You may store alerts for as long as you wish. (Most devices have limits to storage capabilities and will require deletion of old alerts to allow for new alerts.)

Q. Can I modify an alert?

A. Yes, you can log into MEdia Net™ and delete any of your alerts, as well as temporarily turn them on or off.

2. while fast charging please don't use phone / or use moderately

3. due to 4k and big screen, z5p gets hot relativity faster

5. uninstall bloatware and unnecessary apps which wakes up automatically and loads on processor

6. if the device is ROOTED. install purify to keep notification access/application hibernation in play.

7. if your z5p is in jacket type book cover, please remove it while charging and/or while charging and using.

8. in my experience skype / Viber ( voice and/or video ) calling consumes alot of battery and processing power, making my devices HOT. hence i prefer other voip apps.
