[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] Z.Ilya:
Just purchased SM-G906S and clean installed Lineage OS 16 Official latest build.

Have an issue with MHL: when I connect the phone to TV via HDMI cable, it continues to translate sound to it's backside loudspeaker, not to TV speakers. I also got SM-G900F with Lineage OS 17.1 and it works fine in the same situation.

One more moment: in developer's options I have turned on "allow (enable) creation of freeform windows", but OS still doesn't allow to do so - only to split the screen as usually.

Advice me, please, how to force the phone to translate sound through HDMI?

There is an option in developers' menu "Multimedia -> disable translating audio (USB)", but it is turned off as by default.

I also have very poor network connection comparing to SM-G900F. I believe it's because of some soft-disabled LTE-bands. In stock firmware there was a combination *#0011#, which allowed to enable missing LTE bands. What should I do in order to enable missing LTE bands in Lineage OS? The modem firmware is latest, but still a huge difference in network signal receiving between SM-G906S and SM-G900F.

Ok managed to get it working. Used an older version. Don't really know what was different but it worked. How do I get microG on this thing?

edit, worked fine with fdroid. Nice, no google!

I have a G901F which is almost completely stuck after trying to install Lineage OS 16. Nothing works anymore except download mode. I cannot even get into the TWRP menu, because it automatically reboots in a loop. I also tried reflashing TWRP and stock rom, but that also failed. What can I do?
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] dziugas1959:
Maybe you don't have a G901F, maybe you have a klte, did you try flashing that TWRP? It's possible that the Sticker on your phone might be incorrect, i recommend trying a diffrent version/ a.k.a model of TWRP until it works
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] deoxy:
I just tried a klte TWRP version. This time, it didn't crashloop, but it went straight from "recovery booting..." to download mode with the error message "Could not do normal boot".

I bought the phone second hand a year ago. (I also own a klte in a different color, which works fine with LineageOS 16.)

At that time, I installed twrp-3.2.3-0-kccat6 for kccat6 and LineageOS 15, which worked fine, so it should be a G901F/kccat6.
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] dziugas1959:
how did you flash TWRP? Using Samsung Odin? Or Something else?
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] deoxy:
I used multiple versions of Odin (3.14, 3.13, 3.10, 3.09) and Heimdall. I'm also unable to get stock roms to work.

When flashing TWRP with Odin, I set the TWRP image tar as AP.

I think it all happened like this:

Bought the phone second hand. Installed LineageOS 15 succesfully. As with my other S5, I followed the official LineageOS steps, but was unable to get Heimdall to work. (Possibly because of pre-installed Samsung drivers on my PC. Heimdall does work when uninstalling the Samsung drivers.) So I switched to Odin and flashed it successfully.

Some time later, when LineageOS 16 was released, I installed LineageOS 16 cleanly/freshly using the official steps, but got the same Heimdall problem again. (I didn't knew at that time that the Samsung drivers were the problem.) So I used Odin again. But the LineageOS 16 setup didn't went smoothly, I got crash reboots in the LineageOS setup and possibly later also crashes in the TWRP menu at some places. (I don't know exactly anymore.)

Now, months later, I'm attempting to try it again. I was scared to update my regular S5 (klte) because of this problem with my S5 plus (kccat6), but it went fine for my klte. But the kccat6 still has the same problem or worse, I'm unable to get into the TWRP menu anymore.

Is the phone bricked? (Download mode and flashing still work.)

Or maybe there is a hardware failure somehow?
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] dziugas1959:
Here is what i used (Try to follow step by step):

Enter download mode

Samsung Odin 3.12.3, Then AP twrp-3.3.1-0-kccat6.img.tar

Then boot to Recovery And in TWRP, make sure you Wipe Data Type: YES, Restart Recovery, And then using the USB cable plugged in your PC drag and drop the Official LineageOS .zip file and flash it. (Flash Opengapps aswell)

It should boot up
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] deoxy:
twrp-3.3.1-0-kccat6.img.tar doesn't exist anymore as an official TWRP image. They removed it, because it gave "not bootable any more" devices and "bricked phones" according to https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=81486609&postcount=2284 and

https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=81504239&postcount=2285

I don't know if I used this version in the past, causing the problem. I think the first attempt to install LineageOS was at 3 November 2019, when the problem first occured.

Anyway, I just tried that version. because the phone is already f*ked up, so there is nothing further to lose.

I downloaded Odin 3.12.3 from https://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2711451

And twrp-3.3.1-0-kccat6.img.tar from https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=81486609&postcount=2284

When selecting the tar file as "AP" in Odin, Odin immediately also asks for a BL file. I only used the AP file, as I see in other guides. After flashing successfully I immediately turn off the phone by removing batteries, and then start recovery with vol_up+home+power and release when I see "Recovery booting..." in blue text. But then the same problem occurs: the phone stays in this screen, and after about 20 seconds, the phone gives a buzz and another buzz followed by an reboot. So I'm unable to get in TWRP.

I don't know if it's useful, but here's the output of my heimdall print-pit: https://pastebin.pl/view/f67eb36a
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] dziugas1959:
Ironicly i use 3.3.1-0 and it work's fine, back at the topic at hand, you say, that you have S5 Klte, and S5 plus Kccat6? If so, have you tried checking that the battery might be an aftermarket, and TWRP is just blocking it? That was a real issue on the stock S5 Recovery, so i recommend if the Klte and Kccat6 baterries match, then you might wanna putting it in, if it work's then you know you have a bad aftermarket battery

Edit: Suprisingly i found a video from 2019, with a S5, and one comment

"i did flashed twrp + firmware but no luck cant access recovery any other solution pls ?

Have you managed to fix?

"Youtube Username" yeah it was battery issue replace with new one and problem solve

Yes, I have a S5 Klte bought newly and a second hand S5 Plus Kccat6. I have three batteries, one original from the Klte from 2014, one from the Kccat6 from 2015, and one original bought separately from 2017. All batteries have the same product number, and look identical, but with different production dates on them. I tried them all in the Kccat6.

I also just tried twrp-3.4.0-0-kccat6.tar from [MENTION=6005084]ripee[/MENTION], but I still have the problem.
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] andreoide:
Remove the battery, there is a sticker telling you exact what model you own.

Download the right TWRP, ROM AND GAPPS

in twrp clear all and everything, flash the rom and gapps in THE SAME FLASH without rebooting ( 2 files in one flash) , than reboot, there you go :D
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] dziugas1959:
Very Cool! Thumbs Up for this Gem :D

---------- Post added at 09:05 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:03 PM ----------

Well it might be that a chip or a over-time problem happened a.k.a hardware related, my other explanation is A. You are doing something wrong that i can't see B.The phone is not a Klte and not a kccat6 Those are the only alternative explanation's if not a hardware problem
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] deoxy:
The stickers says it's a SM-G901F and I flashed TWRP and LineageOS 15 for SM-G901F without problems in January 2019. Also download mode says it's a SM-G901F.

The problem is that the phone reboots before entering the TWRP menu.

Another option could be that I bricked the software somehow in an unrecoverable state without the phone having a hardware failure? Or should download mode always be able to restore such problems?

For example, if I would repartition with a wrong PIT file, than flashing TWRP back is not enough to solve the problem, right? (I tried two pit file designed for kccat6 and also multiple stock roms for kccat6)
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] andreoide:
Ah... messing with pit files huh...

My guess is your troubles lie there sad enough.

There is no need almost ever to change the pit, unless you have deep insight in what you r doing....

My advice: change all pit backwards original from factory as you bought it, flash the right twrp latest for kccat from twrp.me website in Odin, flash latest working build cvxda for kccat4 and at the same time latest gapps.

Maybe after flashing twrp you try boot in twrp, if you can, clean all, than proceed in Odin
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] ripee:
The download mode is your lifeline. Without a hardware failure, you would need to rePIT with a proper pit file. Try extracting the PIT from a stock rom and flashing it separately from the stock from which you took the PIT that you flash. Perhaps flashing the stock in its entirety doesn't apply the PIT as it should. To be extra sure that you're flashing the right stock, be sure to download the one that matches your original CSC.

If no older twrp or cwm versions work, then that would confirm the incorrect partitioning.
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] gramouk:
Hi, Rom is pretty cool. So much faster than stock.

I have an issue however regarding the installation of microg. I have done it via f droid and flashing nanodroid. But I can't find the app on my phone. Some apps don't work.

Can someone point me towards the right way to get microg on this rom please.

microg requires signature spoofing, apparently this rom doesn't have this prerequisite. How can I enable that?

Thanks

In other news, I'm not sure how much time Corinna has to focus on Q and beyond for kccat6 and lentislte, but I am in the middle of fixing up a few remaining bugs on trlte, which uses the same apq8084 kernel that she is working on. When (and more importantly if) I fix what's left, I will apply the same commits to the lentislte-common sources, and hopefully give you guys a useable Q build.

But no promises...

[MENTION=9693873]gramouk[/MENTION], you need to download the "arm" open gapps, not "arm64". The chipset for your phone is 32-, not 64-bit.

Complain or cry about things not exist does not contribute to this thread, info why its not 17.x yet is to be found all over this thread, use find Button, or just simply accept cvxda ( wich is the developer and maintainer of the lineage for sm g901f ) has no time to fix it, or maybe never will.

FlipFlap missing

Thanks for the new build! I don't have Settings->Flip cover, though. Am I looking in the wrong place for FlipFlap? (I tried clearing the data for the Settings app just in case, but still nothing.)
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] omniamutantur:
I came across this when trying to flash a minimal OpenGapps package. I eventually figured out that there was no WebView implementation installed. Confirm by checking Settings -> Developer options -> WebView implementation. If there's no value and no choices, that's your problem. (If you have choices there, just pick one and Play Store should start working.) Either OpenGapps was removing the stock implementation and not installing a new one, or the framework config needs patched (see opengapps.org/blog/post/2016/10/06/nougat-webview/ - I haven't checked the source tree for this patch).

The full list of OpenGapps components is here: github.com/opengapps/opengapps/wiki/Advanced-Features-and-Options. The Google WebView component is in 'stock'. To make sure I get all the components I need but without all the Google apps that I don't use, I flash the 'super' package with the attached .gapps-config file (saved in the same location as the OpenGapps installer, at the root of my SD card).

The version of Cyanogenmod 13 I'm using is quite stable, although its still a nightly built, and I don't know when is the best time to upgrade, I'm thinking about installing Android Nougat.

I haven't had restarts on the latest build, but I have had a couple of power cut-outs. On the other hand, the kernel updates (hello, sdcardfs :D) make my phone almost as fast as it was on CM13, so I'm not going back!

I did have a sound issue on phone calls immediately after the 170218 update - the calls connected but I couldn't hear any sound (not even the ringing when the call connected), and no sound was going through to the other end of the call either. Sound from other apps was coming through just fine. After I flashed the latest CPJ1 baseband and cleared dalvik+cache I got the ring back, and my voice was getting through to the other end, but I still couldn't hear anything coming from the other side. Finally, I cleared dalvik+cache again and reflashed the 170218 build. That fixed the dialler issue, but I still had another power cut-out later in the evening.

Hello maanteel,

As you know I switched to Samsung A71, but keep the kccat6 for monitoring my security- cameras and following this thread since I'm here from the beginning.

I also updated to latest romversion, and open gapps Arm9.0 okt 9

After flashing that, all seems okay BUT Trebuchet is gone! Did I miss something here?

Because for the g901f I dont like the pixel launcher, I restored previous and after restore I only flashed latest lineage 08 okt, wich work fine and now I can enjoy trebuchet as usual.

Do you know what changed, or why this occur after flashing with all-in-one flash the LineageOS update and gapps?
