I appreciate the suggestions but I cannot get rid of the screen on the phone ... I can't figure out a way to do ANYTHING with the phone... the inference is that I have do fo something on a computer via the USB connection.

I can't get to a recovery screen.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] whbisondtr:
What do you mean get rid of the screen?
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] AlvinT:
>>>>><<<<< IT's FIXED! Downloaded firmware and it rebooted!!! Problem is gone (until the next one)>>>>>>>><<<<<<<<<

Not sure what happened ... but last night when I plugged the phone in to charge and tried again the three buttons (pwr, home, vol down) lo and behold, the screen changed and I got the Download option.

So thanks again for the encouragement and the good words. It is beginning to look like even I can't kill this phone :)

I said in the post that the screen says ""Firmware upgrade encountered an issue ... .Please select recovery mode in Kies". NOTHING I seem to be able to do changes the screen. That inclludes powering off, golding down two or three of the buttons,, etc. The same screeen always returns. I need some sort of recovery screen. I;d post a screenshot but that would require using a camera :( So I can't enter download mode or recovery mode or anything else

Here's a pic I found on the web:

added: Pic didnt work; I found this article on line

http://www.galaxys5update.com/guide-fix-firmware-upgrade-encountered-issue-samsung-galaxy-s5/

I can't enter download mode. But tdunham says to avoid Kies (unless I misunderstood)

????

ADDED: My device IS NOW in DOWNLOAD mode.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] joshdv:
You have to flash TWRP from Odin or jOdin the same way you flash the stock rom tarball. If you're having issues, you should go back and reflash the stock tarball first. Don't let it auto-reboot ever.

When you flash TWRP from Odin, you need to manually pull the battery after it's done and go directly into recovery mode. You do that almost the same way as download mode, except you press volume UP instead of volume DOWN. Flash TWRP 3.0.2-0, not 3.0.2-1.

If your phone is acting crazy and doesn't let you do all this, you can first try this instead: flash the stock firmware. Go into STOCK recovery. Do a factory reset. 3 times if you want. Then let the phone fully boot up. Once it's done, shut it down. Pull out the battery. Put it back in, go back into download mode and try flashing TWRP again.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] AlvinT:
Thanks so much for the message, and suggestions, josh. I was able to unbrick and update my phone and am now running a new rooted marshmallow ROM, the one in this thread. I even updated my signature :D

So there is no hurry to replace my phone. BTW I am running TWRP 3.0.2-1. Any compelling reason to replace it with 3.0.2-0 (the -1 worked :) ))

No data yet about battery life. Performance seems good. I missed some of the MOAR features (I liked the taskbar customization, but at least I found a battery bar app in the play store) but those things are pretty much minor. What I want most is reliability, performance, and battery life

Best to all. Happy Lincoln's Birthday.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] AlvinT:
New Marshmallow Rom

I love the new ROM. Some questions:

1. I read about the “hidden menu” in Android Marshmallow called the System UI Tuner. Seems not to work on this ROM. Any info here?

2. I loved my 4 row SWYPE keyboard with the number row on top. Any way to get that back?

3. Odd.. my sd card free space appears on my statusbar but TWRP does not seem to recognize my SD card. There seem to be fixes for that but they require removing the card and PCing. Anyone have the same issue, and maybe an easy solution?

Thanks and cheers to all
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] whbisondtr:
1. The system ui tuner unfortunately doesn't work on this phone, it's not a rom issue.

2. Sorry, no idea.

3. That's an issue with some twrp versions, I use 3.0.1.0 and it works great.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] AlvinT:
Thanks for 1 and 3. I reverted to 3,0,-0 (misread what you wrote) but THAT seems to work ok

The samsung keyboard looks pretty good. It wont have the customizations I made to Swype but I really like that top row all numbers.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] whbisondtr:
Have you tried SwiftKey? It's fully customizable
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] csmasn:
Sir. Just to ask: WHERE in the world in addiction of your post you can find QA2, which shows like PK1? A direct link will be really appreciated.

Thanks in Advance.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] whbisondtr:
It's not available just yet for download, it's an update. If you get on full stock PK1 you can update to it.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] csmasn:
Currently Odining to full stock. Lets see.

Thank you.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] mordantly:
UI tuner was not kept by Sammy. CM13 Marshmallow has it on my G900P. Touchwiz removes or changes a TON from the way Android comes from Big Brother.

I too miss the MOAR v7 keyboard. Working on trying to integrate that one.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] joshdv:
Now you know why not to use 3.0.1-1. :) It's very buggy.

Try the Google keyboard (gboard). It's better than Swype or samsung, it's customizable, and you can go into the settings to keep the top row numbers on all the time.

Battery life should be good as long as you don't use AC WiFi.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] AlvinT:
Xposed?

I've got this ROM working and installed and am quite happy. But there are some variations for which XPosed seems necessary

Can I install XPosed on this ROM in s5? (trying to put the number row into my SWYPE, which keyboard I still prefer yo the others I've tried )

Thanks in advance to all

a
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Kreatur3:
You can. Just make sure to flash the version modified by wanam. It is meant for the s5.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] bytes2bits:
I'm currently on PCA. Can I just flash this rom as is or do I need to odin to PK1 first? It's been a while and I don't have a clear understanding of the whole bootloader firmware deal. Sorry if it's a stupid question and thanks in advance.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] zune70:
You can just flash this rom with pca. Then you can flash the mini bootloader in the op to PK1 if you want via Odin
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] bytes2bits:
Can you or someone please confirm this... when I flash the mini bootloader I'm going to use the BL slot in Odin with only Auto Reboot and F. Reset Time checked in the options? Sorry, I don't want to mess this up. Thanks in advance.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] tdunham:
AP slot
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] bytes2bits:
That went perfectly! Thank you Sir!
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] whbisondtr:
[MENTION=1042140]tdunham[/MENTION], thank you for all your hard work on the s5 and keeping it new. Got my new s7 edge today so I bid a farewell. (hears clapping lol)
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] bytes2bits:
Did the S7 ever get unlocked (Sprint)? I stopped following those threads some time ago. Just curious.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] whbisondtr:
I'm not too sure. I don't think so though, but I bought the unlocked version.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] andee39:
Good luck with the s7. I'm hoping to get the s8 if I can swing it. From what I am hearing, it is going to be pretty pricey. [emoji20] [emoji20]
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] doctorman:
If S8 battery is easily replaceable I will consider it. S7 battery replacement is way too involved and you know the battery is garbage after a year.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] andee39:
Hadn't heard about problems with s7 battery replacement. What is the issue?
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] tdunham:
The S8 is predicted to have waterproof design which means no removable battery.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] zune70:
Hey [MENTION=1042140]tdunham[/MENTION] dont you have the note 5 right now? hows the battery life on that since you got it if you do have a note 5?
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] andee39:
Really. Totally missed that ......
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] doctorman:
S5 is waterproof

but again they could have make the battery replacement less of hassle

anyway back to S5...

Awesome ROM Thanks for the new life on this phone
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Kreatur3:
S5 is water resistant. The s5 active is waterproof. There's a huge difference.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] doctorman:
s5 active has removable battery same battery as s5
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] tdunham:
I don't see much difference in the water resistant rating between S5 models.

Both the S5 standard and S5 active are only rated for a 1 meter dunk for up to 30 minutes which is only water resistant and remember, this is when they are NEW. Mine lost its usb cover not long after I got it and that was annoying anyway so I never replaced it.

True waterproofing has much higher standards and that is one of the reasons a lot of manufacturors have gone to a sealed battery compartment.

So unless your phone is fairly new with new seals, I wouldn't even risk a toilet dunk to test the 1 meter theory. ;)

[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Slimegod:
Quick question tdunham. So Im having issues with using Snapchat on builds thats arent stock roms (OMNI, MOKEE, CM-13.0). So I came to the conclusion it was a camera issue. Was wondering if there is a way I can use Touchwiz stock camera in place in those ROMs?
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] tdunham:
I don't have an educated opinion on this one really.

Have you tried downloading any from the play store first? There are a bunch of third party camera apps available. I'm not sure how snapchat 'sees' the camera app to begin with, you might have to freeze the default app first.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Slimegod:
How do I freeze it?
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] tdunham:
Titanium Backup
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Slimegod:
Thats it? Once thats done I can just try to install a 3rd party app?
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] tdunham:
Yes try.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] csmasn:
I have a question. This phone has ItsOn installed since day ONE. So why now are so important to remove it? Thanks.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] tdunham:
Because it is tracking software and its a battery sucker. Google it.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] csmasn:
Yeah! It looks like the new CarrierIQ, but it has been in Sprint since like 2013/14, and now 2016/17 there is not custom ROM without it been removed. I just disabled it just in case. Thanks.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] tentak:
I have flashed your ROM, everything works fine...

But can`t connect to my hotspot. Noone devices cant connect to my Hotspot, stuck on "Obtaining IP adress" and if connect with static IP, no internet or any data connection like ShareIt... I`ve tried edit services.jar and APNs. Can u help me?

PS. I am using phone on another carrier(not sprint) in Central Asia.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] tdunham:
As far as I know, hotspot will only work with the sprint carrier.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] tentak:
Do you know about idonesapp (Galaxy Tools)? This app can unlock it, but i cant buy it.

How this app unlock it? May be anyone can unlock hotspot for another carriers...
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] nycswat911:
any plans on updating NEW STUFF with the latest android security patch?
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] OptimuSlime:
Please make this a thread, I dont have permission

Friends. I have been a lurker / poster here for years, used to be "OptimusSlime" but lost that acct pw. Anyway, had a G900p flashed to work on Tmobile, and talking to the flashing guy I learned something I have never read here and want to share.

Tested on G900P -------- (other phones/models? must be on MM though, or maybe higher)

Anyway on the Sprint variant (I wonder if Verizon has the same setup...) if you go into "Activate This Device" from Settings,

and (regardless of what the screen whines about) press Vol Up, Up, Down, Down, Down, kinda quickly, you will enter the service mode IOTHIDDENMENU.

If this is old news, and I just missed the boat, you should know I JUST watched the best video ever...

It was this Dancing baby from Ally McBeal. Just came out. In 2017. Brand new baby video. Not old.

I hope someone is helped by this.

Feel free to repost, condense, and otherwise freely share this information.

It isn't owned by me. It is merely a method of using your own devices.

G900PVPS3CPK1_G900PSPT3CPK1_SPR.zip

I take it I cannot jump from MOAR 6 to the PK1 Full Factory Build by just flashing from TWRP 3.0.2-2 recovery I already have on my phone?

Just want to make sure, as if I can, I can get that going now and let it settle all night before ODIN TWRP again and then flashing the ROM. Thanks.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] tdunham:
You cant flash factory tar inside that zip with twrp, only odin.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] tdunham:
Pretty cool.

It works for the Note 5 too btw.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Wyzer:
tdunham, thanks for the reply! Figured it out on my own last night once I got Windows up and running. I had not flashed since MOAR 6.2, so it took awhile to recall everything. Flashing the ROM as I write this after getting several Updates last night to the latest Sprint Build. Looking forward to running your ROM.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Wyzer:
tdunham, thanks so much for this ROM. While I do miss how I had my old MOAR 6.2 setup, I much prefer the running of this new snappier MM. I have had much fewer issues, such as crashing of Apps and so far no issues such as staying on Data and such.

There are just 3 things I would like to ask for, if possible;

1. I used to be able to set my Power button to double click quickly to turn on flashlight. It would be great to get that option again.

2. Lock screen number scrambling. (Maybe there is an App that has this, I have not found it.)

3. Add the Adoptable Storage feature that Samsung disabled. My understanding is the S7 fix will work for S5, just change the ; to , is the difference to my understanding.

If any of those 3 options could be done, it would be greatly appreciated.

As an FYI I am running G900PVPS3CQB3, after flashling the PK1 from OP, my phone updated 2 times to this version.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] abbygayle:
I just got an s5 and trying to flash this. Im not rel experienced but i think i have most of this figured out but...would someone mind helping me with this part of step 1 in the directions. "Place downloaded ROM in phone storage, internal or external SD." How is this done exactly? The file is on my laptop. Do i need to put it on my phone using odin or just drag the file from laptop to phone while phone is connected to laptop? Or is there a better way?
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] andee39:
Connect your phone to your laptop and drag the rom file from its location on your laptop to your phones internal or external storage. You can also use a card reader. Just remember if you use internal storage, not to wipe internal during flashing process.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] ShinySide:
Just drag and drop after you connect your device via USB to your laptop

Annnnd got ninja'd lol
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] abbygayle:
Thank you. That worked. Next thing i am running into is this instruction.

"Full wipe in twrp-wipe/advanced wipe select davich/art cache , system, data,cache"

The problem is that i dont see this options in recovery mode. The only options i see that are close to this are: full wipe/factory reset. If i click it says to select yes or no. The other option is to wipe partition cache. I can select yes or no. I dont see the option listed in instructions. Unfortunately i tried both options i mentioned that i saw and selected yes. I probably messed something up

The other options listed are:

reboot system now

Reboot to bootloader

Apply update from adb

Apply update from sd card

Wipe data/factory reset

Wipe cache partition

Mount/system

View recovery logs

Power off
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] tdunham:
You aren't running custom recovery. It should say twrp. Follow the instructions on the op.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] abbygayle:
still havent gotten it

Ok, here's where I am:

I believe I have flashed properly. At this point with the phone still plugged in to PC, I attempt to reboot from download to recovery mode. However, when I click the vol up+power+home and the phone restarts, it doesnt get me to any options. This is what it says:

Recovery booting...

Recovery is in SEANDROID enforcing

Set warranty bit: recovery

That's as far as I get. It doesnt say anything about full wipe- in twrp. Any ideas what I"m doing wrong?
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] andee39:
Did you do vol down+pwr then immediately vol up+pwr+home after phone restarts?
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] abbygayle:
Yes. When i click that immediately upon restart it just keeps restarting as i continue to push vol up+pwr+home and at the top of screen in phone it gives this message:

Recovery booting...

Recovery is in SEANDROID enforcing

Set warranty bit: recovery
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Ahmad77888:
Thanks for your useful ROM

how should I enable mobile data toggle in notification bar?
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] zune70:
What do you mean by that? All you have to do is click on the icon until it turns on or green color and it's on
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] andee39:
Try powering phone down entirely and then starting from a complete off state (disconnected from computer) try getting into recovery. What you describe is what shows at the top of the screen when you boot into recovery right before the main twrp screen comes up. You got twrp onto your phone right?
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] abbygayle:
I was able to get into twrp, i was able to select G900P_PK1.6.0.1.NEW_STUFF.Ver2.3b.zip. To the best of my knowledge i did it right. There were 2 check boxes. One said something about rebooting when done. I checked that. The other box said something about verifying .zip signature(?) i didnt check that box. I swiped to flash.

At that point it appeared to be rebooting. I let it boot for about 40 min. However At the top of the black samsung galaxy s5 screen it says this in red" kernel is not seandroid enforcing". In yellow it says " set warranty bit:kernel"

After 40 min i took battery out and tried to power up, unfortunately it wont boot up and it has the same message red" kernel is not seandroid enforcing". In yellow it says " set warranty bit:kernel" .

Did i brick my phone??
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] abbygayle:
Heres an update and my thoughts.I am in twrp trying to flash ROM. (This is my first time using twrp so maybe I"m missing something easy)

I am able to access this file in twrp: 1. G900P_PK1.6.0.1.New_stuff.ver2.3b.zip

I also extracted this file and have a file I can access called: G900P_PK1.6.0.1.New_stuff.ver2.3 (This has folders called META-INF, rootzip (which includes SuperSU zip), system, vrtheme)

Which of these things am I supposed to flash at this point?

When i flash using the NEW_STUFF zip file it says installation complete. Script succeeded: result was [ ]. Updating partition details....done

But above that it says

1. New_stuff.ver2.3b.zip checking for md5 file....skipping md5 check.no md5 file found Is this missing md5 an issue?

My phone will not boot up at all. It says: Kernel is not SEANDROID ENFORCING Set warranty bit: Kernel

I can get into download mode and recovery mode but I cant get phone to boot up.

I'm desperately grasping at straws now. Does a root have to be done before flashing this ROM? I was under the impression that this did root the phone. Do I need to do a separate root first?
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] pharmdeon:
Did you flash version 1 before flashing version2.3b?
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] abbygayle:
Flash which version? The original version of ROM? (G900P_PK1.6.0.1De-Odexed.Ver1.0.zip? Flash this first and then the NewStuff2.3 zip?
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] pharmdeon:
Yes, exactly. Version 1 is the "ROM". Version 2.3b are updates to the ROM. You can see by file size. Version 1 is like 1.4gigs, version 2.3b is like 240mb. Flash version1 first, then let the phone boot ... it will take a while (like 10 to 20 min). Then flash 2.3b if you want.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] abbygayle:
THANK YOU!!! This was my issue. I am back up and running! I hadn't run the original version 1. So if I want to flash the other version updates, do I need to do them each individually or just do the most recent one ? Also, do I need to follow these steps for each new version I try to flash?

3

Full wipe in twrp - Wipe/Advanced Wipe

select Dalvik/ART cache, System, Data, Cache.

Thanks again!
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] pharmdeon:
Good to hear! [emoji2] Just flash the latest ... i.e. 2.3b ... they are cumulative updates. Wiping cache and dalvik wouldnt hurt after flashing update. It will take longer to boot tho. Do NOT wipe system. Only cache and dalvik cache.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Ahmad77888:
common! I know how to turn it on. the problem is that there is no mobile data toggle icon in the pull-down shortcuts and i have to go to setting nd turn it on manually.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] zune70:
Weird that shouldn't happen
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Wyzer:
NOTE: Just realized you stated it was not in the "pull-down shortcuts", still leaving my post in case others don't know about the pull-down.

Press the 3 squares with the 2-way arrows in the upper right hand corner of the toggles, this will show you the available toggles and you can add the Mobile Data one that you want.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Ahmad77888:
I know how to change and edit shortcuts! There isnt Mobiledata shortcut in the whole list...
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] andee39:

[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Caradineme2:
Has anyone tried using the flashlight toggle with up volume key? I just turned it on, tested (which worked great) but when I turn it off with a click of the power button, play music is tripped and begins playing random music lol. Anyone else experience this?
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] zune70:
I just tried it and no music is playing but I think it happened once when I did that a while ago but I can't reproduce the cause right now.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] tdunham:
Music skip and flashlight both use same exact keys, of course there will be a problem if you use them at the same time.

There's nothing I can do about that.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Caradineme2:
Don't get me wrong, I'm not complaining. Just was curious if anyone else was having it happen. I didn't realize music skip could start the music app. I just tested with flashlight volume toggle back off and when holding volume up, music starts playing by itself. So I just didn't know prior to this that could happen. I only thought it would skip tracks during playback.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] tdunham:
I know.

I can't get it to do it that way on mine though.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Caradineme2:
For me it's Google play music that gets tripped. I think I have the stock player frozen and Google is default.

Edit: correction, stock music app is not frozen but Google is the default player
