[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] DickyG:
I think I'm ready to give up...I tried (1) flashing with sd card out (2) installing new drivers although Windows says my drivers are up to date (3)tried running various versions of Odin as Win10, Win8, and Win7...you can do that sort of stuff in Windows 10 (4) used every USB port and USB cord (including the original Samsung one) (5) tried wife's laptop (Windows 8.1) (6) 2-3 different modems.

Every single flash fails at the same point..."writing...wait 2 minutes"

Before I fold my cards, 2 quick questions which probably will be meaningless: 1. Did not see the "format" option in TWRP. How do I do it and what does it do? If you're referring to the wipe options, I'm familiar with those since I always do clean installs when I flash a new ROM 2. I have not been trying to flash a bootloader...I don't have to do that, do I? And frankly, I'm not sure what it does.

If I have no options left, at least CM13.0 is working perfectly.

Again...thanks for all the time you've put into trying to help me.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] godofsalt:
Hold up on that car wash... I have re-read your posts....

Maybe I'm putting this together...

- Are you actually in TWRP when you are states " writing... Wait 2 Minutes"???

Like me go back over all this...

Back in 5..

.....

Ok came back to edit, since nobody has stepped in....

Ok, you have the latest drivers on your computer...

Did you ever check to see if the CP is recognizing the phone? Phone Settings and check to make sure that you have Android Debugging checked, for "On".

.... Using Odin, the phone is in Download Mode....

Plus should see the phone, maybe as a camera or a MP Player, from you should be able see your SD card, if using, as well as the Internal storeage.

To me, seems that the CP is not seeing the phone. Another area to check in newer Win-10 would be Devises and Printers, might be bidding three....

However (still confused here)

- Are you in the phones recovery (TWRP) when is is (.... "Waiting 2 minutes") Is happening? IF that B the case, at this point, don't use the SD card, and see...

Also Smart Switch ( with stock rom) will see what you have, And check for any updates, including newer modems, radios and the like... Will only download and update when you say so.

TWRP, can format an area of your choosing, with what you may like (e.g. Ext4 or any others, Just haven't done much formatting with them)

Edit~ believe you have to goto File Manger in Recovery.-- Now when you are wiping, should only need the Cache and Delvik checked. System of course if coming From Stock... System but now the modem.

Hope we can get you there...
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] cal002:
I lost track of what you actually tried to flash, is it modem only? If so, did you try

to flash a full stock image including bootloader etc.? Because it

will also update the code that implements odin mode on the phone.

However, another possibility, there is an interesting article which gives a glimpse

into the MDM (mobile device management) capabilities, while the article talks about blocking

odin mode completely it's also possible some bit somewhere says "modem update forbidden" for your device,

maybe some carrier lock thing...

I hope I'm not posting this in the incorrect thread, but I really need a bit of help.

I have a Galaxy S5 klte running the latest build unrooted. I've set up Android Pay and all went well. Until I come to use it. It just doesn't register at all at the terminal.

I've passed Safety Net and checked that NFC is working by using some other apps and it appears fine.

What could be the issue?
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] thaidroid:
Samsung USB drivers will not work on Windows 10 insider builds 16173 and later(current 16199) Installing latest driver will allow MTP connection once but after disconnecting the phone it will not be recognized on re-connect if set to MTP. Re-installing the driver again will give you one more shot at MTP Rince and repeat untill you are done For smaller files and other stuff install AirDroid and do all your things on the PC over WiFi, thats how I move new builds to the phone 300MB in a couple of minutes. It's a great app check it out if you not have it already.

Update: clearly needed further research on XDA. Flashed the necessary zip file and it now works!
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] darzur:
What zip file was it? Can you share?
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] DickyG:
Did that..Windows says that my driver is up to date...so that's not the problem...this is exasperating!

---------- Post added at 03:49 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:47 PM ----------

Not familiar with AirDroid...will it let me upgrade my modem? Odin is just not working for me.

---------- Post added at 03:58 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:49 PM ----------

Man...this sucks! 1. Odin recognizes phone...every time 2. Debugging is on 3. Probably can't use Smart Switch because I'm not on stock. 4. I guess drivers are up to date because Windows says they are 5. Running Windows10

Problem started with I flashed Lineage from CM13.1...worked fine until I got out of Wi-fi range and noticed that I had lost cell reception. My modem is FOG6...came with the phone and supports 5.1.1. So I figured I needed to go to a MM modem...and I have never been able to get Odin to flash it.

Odin Baseband Install

Wow, you are going through the mill on this one. I just ran through on fresh S5 on default settings the process for upgrading the Baseband only. So the list is first hand!

PC Setup

Windows 10 Pro v1607

Samsung Mobile USB driver (ssudbus.sys) v2.12.4.0

Odin v3.12.3 (located in C:\Odin)

Process

Connect USB to PC click task bar and choose explore

On phone, notification bar, USB charging, tap for options, Transfer Files.

On PC you should be able to see Internal Shared Storage and SDCard1

Copy files back and fore to reassure yourself that everything is OK.

Disconnect USB and power off phone

on PC navigate to c:\Odin and run the .exe

With phone disconnected from PC boot into Odin mode. Vol Down+Home and Power on.

Ignore warning. Vol Up to continue

Watch Odin on the PC, then connect the Phone and PC with the USB cable.

You should see Added!! in the log box in Odin and it will allocate a COM port.

If this doesn't happen troubleshoot until it does.

Click the AP box in Odin and locate the SM-G900F_CQBW.firmware.tar file (Mine is an SM-900F but you will need the appropriate one for your device from here because I think you have a different model to me)

Click Options and uncheck Auto Reboot (the only one ticked should be F.Reset Time)

Click Log (it should still say Added!)

Click Start

It will run through in about 15 seconds and should say PASS! in green.

On phone hold down the power button for about 7 seconds and the phone will power off.

This is important!

Disconnect Phone from PC

Power up phone and verify Baseband version in Settings->About Phone-> Baseband Version

Good Luck! ;)
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] DickyG:
Failed again. The only difference is that my driver is 2.12.5.0 (which I installed yesterday). Tried with SD card in and then out. Also, I am on Windows 10 home...shouldn't make any difference. Tried with Norton enabled and then disabled. Odin always recognizes phone and the modem passes the check sum test. Always fails after "writing...wait 2 mintues). One last thought...I am on CM13...would it make any difference if I flashed Lineage and then tried to use Odin from there? Doubt it'll make any difference.

Again, thanks for all your time.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] cal002:
Of course you can, it has the same recovery procedure as Kies where you manually

boot to download mode, it asks for your serial number (label below battery),

looks up in Samsung's database what they think is the appropriate ROM for you,

downloads and installs it and does a factory reset.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] txordi:
IDK if you have tried, but you shall try with another USB cable...
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] Brokulli:
Hello.

Does anyone have any idea?

Second BIG problem is battery consumption.

The battery lasts more than half a day with average usage.

Turning off automatic brightness and change performance profile to minimum didn't help.

The battery is new.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] fitittome:
If that works, that's what I would do! But I don't think it will!

[MENTION=5198659]DickyG[/MENTION] What size is the tar file you are trying to install?
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] DickyG:
Both of the modems I've been trying to install...GQc2 and GPK3...are 61.1 mb.

The baseband currently on phone is fog6...it came with the phone and supports 5.1.1...has worked fine until I installed Lineage. It's interesting that my wife's S5 has the GQc2 installed...when she got the OTA update to 6.0.1, it changed her modem.

The other weird thing is that I must have flashed TWRP and root with Odin when I first got the phone...I don't remember doing so but I must have.

Even though I have been using a USB cord with Samsung on it, I might spend a few bucks and go down to the T-Mobile store tomorrow and buy a new one. If nothing else works, I might try: (1) Flashing Lineage and then trying Odin (2) See if I can find a 7.x ROM which will keep it's data connection with my current baseband (3) Just continue on with CM13.0 which has given me no problems whatsoever.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] thaidroid:
Download the latest available Official Samsung ROM for your phone from Sammobile and fo a full install with ODIN stop mucking about with your modem file(maybe its corrupt) Installing latest Samsung will give you updates one every conceivable driver etc. and latest modem/Bootloader:good:

Backup your personal data to PC since the phone will be totally wiped.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] DickyG:
Yeah...thought about that...but it seems that Odin & I don't get along. I doubt the modem files I've tried to flash are corrupt since they always pass the check sum test in Odin.

Thanks...
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] fitittome:
The images within maybe duff and the checksum for the tar would still pass. Are they the ones haggertk posted here? But I think I agree with thaidroid's comment above.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] fitittome:
I would make sure baseband is up to date and clean flash.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] DickyG:
Yeah...tried that one. I'm not gonna try and download a fresh stock ROM and then root again...this will mean having to flash with Odin and we know how that has worked. I'm gonna try 2 more things: 1. Order a new Samsung USB cord 2. Flash Lineage again and see if I can then flash a new modem (I can't see how this will work but I've tried everything else).

If all else fails, phone is working fine on CM13.

I've monopolized this board for way too long.

---------- Post added at 05:47 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:38 PM ----------

Yeah tried that one. And I'm not seriously thinking about installing a stock ROM and then rooting again...that would require Odin and we all know how that has turned out. I'm gonna try 2 more things: (1) Order a new Samsung USB cord (2) Possibly install Lineage again and then try to flash a new modem then (I can't see how this would possibly make any difference but what the hell).

If all else fails, my phone is running fine on CM13 with my 5.1.1 modem.

GPS activation needed for WiFi ???

Since Stock Rom MM 6.01 the app WiFi Police (from F-Droid) tells me that GPS activation is needed for WiFi connection, due to a change from Google since MM.

So now my question is whether that same annoying change is also in Lineage?

Thank your for reply.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] PandoraHD:
I have flashed the “unofficial” LOS 14.1 for my Sprint Samsung S5 SM-900P. It’s the GAPPS I am having an issue with. All of my GAPPS zip file keeps returning invalid zip signature. From nano to aroma so I am still without any GAPPS. :confused:

That being said, having read many sites of “how to install” and with the quirks of what's not working, I am with information overload. I have tried searching the 800+ threads in here but fall deeper into they abyss. My apologies if these have been answered prior to my post.

So here are my concerns/questions;

What’s the difference between LOS 14.1 Official and Unofficial?

Do firewalls & antivirus need to be disabled prior to downloading the files?

Does phone need to be re-rooted after flashing LOS?

Are the nightly builds considered updates and do they get flashed on top?

Suggestions of what I need to do to get my GAPPS flashed are well received.

Howdy. This ROM is working great! The only issue I have is the fingerprint scanner not working. It looks like it's a common problem. It seems to know the hardware is there; when I try to register a fingerprint, the animating lines start to stutter when I touch the scanner but it never actually scans the print.

I'm on the GQC2 bootloader and modem but I was initially on a pretty old FOJ4 when I installed LOS.

Also, have people have success encrypting the phone? How's the performance?
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] █████:
you know you have to swipe over it? Touching the scanner shows a stuttering animation and doesn't work. It never did on the S5. The scanner is to small to be effective. Swiping is as fast as touching

OMG LOL I feel foolish. It works now. Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] Spikelangelo:
I just skimmed the last few pages so I may have missed some info but I think I might see your issue.

-you have twrp installed

-you're trying to update your modem/baseband

-it's not working

If the above is correct, I'm pretty sure your can't update the modem/baseband unless you have the stock recovery installed. Unless something changed in the last month or so you'll need to Odin back to stock recovery, do the update then flash back to twrp.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] bitnerd:
I don't think you can flash those modems with twrp like you mention but you can use the tar.md5 versions and flash those with Odin. There's no need to flash the whole stock image
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] Amirk365:
Flashing stock recovery won't help since modems are flashed in Download Mode. Is it possible for a bootloader to become locked after CyanogenMod is installed?

Bluetooth Disconnects.

Someone posted that wiping Cache and Dalvic takes care of the BT issue(I cannot find the post, not even sure if it was in this thread). And guess what,IT WORKS my phone has not disconnected a single time in the car since I started clearing the cache's when rebooting from recovery. I used to have regular disconnects and have not had a single one in the last two builds.

I always clear caches in recovery and just installed Bluetooth in my car. It works amazing except when I get a notification it lowers music volume (as it should) but it crackles. I'm going to download the Bluetooth firmware update for the head unit to see if that fixes it. If your setup allows Bluetooth firmware updates id advise clearing caches, it that don't work upgrade your firmware.

You probably have to update TWRP to 3.1.0
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] DickyG:
You got most of it right. To sum up:

1. Currently running CM13 with a 5.1.1 modem (the one that came with the phone).

2. Flashed Lineage and lost data connection after first reboot...pretty sure I need to upgrade my modem to MM

3. Every time I've tried to flash a new modem with Odin, it's failed at the same point (recognizes my phone every time and then fails after it says "writing...wait 2 minutes).

Trying to go back to stock with Odin seems a waste of time since apparently Odin doesn't work with my phone. Ordered another 3-foot Samsung USB cord in hopes this solves my problem...but I doubt it.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] Amirk365:
Are the cables by Samsung by any chance? I noticed it today but when I tried to flash using a third party cable it doesn't work although another cable from a top OEM worked (LG)
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] benjamen50:
The original Samsung Micro USB's get worn out pretty quickly and end up being no good for ODIN download flashing Samsung Phones.

I just end up using non-branded microUSB cables (Anker branded is decent though)

Odin 3.07 is the best version to use for the S5.

When you mean lost data connection does it still detect the SIM card? You should check the IMEI and baseband to see if it's displayed under Settings > About Phone > Status (around there). If it's unknown / 0049 IMEI then the IMEI / EFS may be corrupt (The first option is to flash a compatible modem (Marshmallow OS at least) like you said and that should fix the problem).
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] phenix23:
Which theme are you using? I used Switch Black in the OMS setting and always ended up in bootloops when updating the Rom
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] SuperSandro2000:
Using the same. When updating you need to disable it but I never do it as it still works.

Edit: los has no oms support. You need to use normal 7.1 or switch to a oms rom like rr or aicp.

As someone who has been out of the scene since running a stable CM 13 release.

Would anyone mind just letting me know if coming to Lineage right now is a good idea in terms of stability and functionality.

Key interests points would be to know how BlueTooth performs, microphone super low recording volume (usually noticed when sending WhatsApp voice messages), WiFi and LTE stability ( I remember some issues trying to connect to 5Ghz networks on CM13).

.I have a SM-G900P Galaxy S 5.

Running the latest version 0531.

Everything runs pretty good. I even have the SMS problem licked by using Yaata for messaging.

Last few updates I noticed a problem.

When I am riding the Subway or entering any other location without reception. I cannot get the signal back. Even when I am back on the street. I can't even place a phone call.

I have to reboot the phone to get a network signal back,

I noticed it happening only when there is a five minute or so gap. Not a momentary one.

I tried various software apps. Like LTE discovery, Open signal. It seems that the radio receiver simply shuts down.

Any Ideas.

I just noticed that I have this problem whenever I go into airplane mode, when I turn it off. I cannot reconnect to any network, only WiFi, without reboot.

I Think its SIM related. Because when I check status > Sim, It shows 0

Resetting network does not help.
