[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] Reverse-anastomosis:
The developer for KLTE, haggertk keeps the baseband firmware available on his android file host. You can achieve the same effect by flashing the latest stock, then flashing lineage. Either way you need to make sure that you have the latest baseband firmware. Odin is fine, heimdal is fine. If you are going to use heimdal you will need to compile the most recent version from source. Odin is a leaked proprietary program which is why lineage doesn't touch it in the wiki.

---------- Post added at 04:03 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:01 AM ----------

Baseband firmware is not included with lineage. It doesn't really matter which drivers you use, as long as they work.

---------- Post added at 04:04 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:03 AM ----------

One more thing, you don't technically have to flash trwp for recovery, but its nice for updates and backups, so I would recommend it.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] kurtn:
[MENTION=9728934]adam-x86[/MENTION] some Linux distributions already have latest heimdall version included. I suggest MX Linux.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] aureljared:
Yes and no. Lineage 15 is built nightly with the latest Android patches, so it's always up to date. Lineage however does not include the modem firmware or any other low-level firmware, which is updated separately through either an official Samsung OTA or a manually flashed Samsung firmware.

In this case, yes it would be best to flash the latest stock ROM prior to Lineage installation, to ensure that you have the latest security updates for the modem etc.

Yes you may use Odin, though you should download the .img.tar TWRP instead of the .img. This is what you will select in Odin's AP (or PDA in some versions) box.

You can use Zadig to find the best driver for your device. I haven't tried it myself, as I've never had to install drivers for the S5, but this is what Lineage recommends. Follow the instructions here.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] adam-x86:
Hi, guys, thanks so much for your replies. I found where to find the most up-to-date Samsung USB drivers for my phone at samsung.com/us/support/downloads/ (before I had used developer.samsung.com/galaxy/others/android-usb-driver-for-windows, which seemed pretty out of date -- more than four years old!). By the way, Sammobile.com offers downloads for Odin directly off of their servers, which I thought was kind of surprising too considering how mainstream the website is and the leaked proprietary origin of Odin. Guess they're not too worried about it lol.

I updated to the latest firmware/baseband version for my model though. However, my process had me wondering if doing a factory reset in stock recovery kicks off the USB debugging mode ... does it not? (Since of course, if you enable it, then do a factory reset and system reboot, the dev. options + the USB debugging mode is disabled again.) But my process was to 1.) enable USB debugging, 2.) reboot into recovery mode, 3.) factory reset, 4.) reboot directly to bootloader, 5.) then finally to flash the latest stock firmware via Odin. Everything seemed to go smooth, but that had me wondering if the USB debugging gets disabled in recovery mode after a factory reset (since it does for sure at least after the first system boot). Is it not best practice to also do a factory reset before flashing a new ROM/firmware?

Thanks again!
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] aureljared:
Yes, USB debugging is off by default on stock, and official Lineage too I believe.

If you are flashing an update (e.g. flashing a newer official Lineage build over an older official Lineage build, or flashing a newer stock ROM over an older stock ROM) then you do not need to perform a reset.

Flashing different firmwares (e.g. flashing an unofficial Lineage build over an official Lineage build and vice versa, or flashing Lineage over stock) requires a factory reset.

S5 Flashing LineageOS 16.0 Over 15.1

I installed successfully on my daily driver S5 G900M klte haggertk's unofficial 16.1 over haggertk's official 15.1 back in November 2018 wiping only System & caches as described here New S5 LineageOS 16.0 haggertk 2019-02-09 Build! - Bug Report without having to reinstall all my apps & accounts & still running 3 months and three 16.0 updates later without any problems.

Only the Home settings (desktop) & apps icons had to be redone because the new LineageOS launcher in 16.0 called Quickstep is not the same as Trebuchet in 15.1.

The battery life is better in 16.0 IMO.

So if you guys are running 15.1, I suggest to do a full backup as described in that post, try 16.0 & if you don't like it you can quickly go back to 15.1.

... did someone experiencing this issue : missed alarm

with lineageos 16 too
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] aureljared:
I acknowledge that dirty flashing might work in these cases, probably more so that both of those ROMs come from the same author, but prior experience with CyanogenMod (and now, Lineage) has taught me to err on the side of caution when it comes to these situations.

Glad to know that things are getting better these days. :good:
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] shkedov:
Another bug report -

After I updated to 23.2.19 build any app that I installed manually from file explorer has disappeared and I needed to reinstall them.

I updated using twrp, wipe cache and install zip. Then reboot to system.

Apps that have been installed via playstore stayed normally untouched.

I noticed that color accent in display settings is fixed, thank you!

The work is amazing, thank you again and again!

Unable to Root via TWRP Zip Installation

Hi, all, so far it looks like I have installed everything successfully on my G900T via the Install Zip feature in TWRP instead of using either Heimdall or ADB. LineageOS and Open GApps went smooth this way, but while the SU Addon (addonsu-15.1-arm-signed.zip) seemed to as well, the device failed to root, which I have confirmed 3 different ways (the LOS Trust feature, the L Speed app, as well as a root checker app all telling me that root access is disabled).

Also, just as a side note, the brightness slider doesn't adjust the brightness in any noticeable way on either the automatic or manual settings. Another peculiarity I noticed is that the stock ROM detected my SIM card/service provider correctly (Ting), but LineageOS thinks it's T-Mobile (printed in the mobile data settings as well as the top-let corner of the locked screen). The status bar is, however, showing the 4G/LTE symbols, so it seems like I still have full mobile data connection regardless.

Help with rooting would be greatly appreciated tho, as I read that other rooting methods in LOS aren't recommended or could destabilize the system. Thanks again.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] Ibuprophen:
Go to the "About phone", scroll down to the "Build number" and keep tapping it till you see a toast message stating that your Developer options has been enabled.

Hit your back button once and you'll see the Developer options just above the About phone. Enter your Developer options and scroll down a little and you will see "Root access" that will reflect Disabled.

Just select it and you should see the options to choose for allowing Root access. Once your choice is selected, you should be good to go.

Good Luck!

Hi all,

I've done a clean flash LOS + Gapps + Reboot + Magisk, and it seems that Magisk it's not loading, even if I install the Manager it says that It's not installed.

Any advice?

EDIT: I've installed v18.0 from GitHub repo, and voilá. All good, and updated to 18.1 via Manager.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] cooltime:
Lineage 15.1 does not work with 4G LTE on my S5 (klte). I am in the US with a Sprint MVNO (Tello). I reflashed stock and 4G worked fine. Back to Lineage for the security and updates, and sure enough, no LTE.

Also, the data connection is unreliable (drops out or dead zones) even if I'm on 3G. This happens in major metropolitan areas so I don't think it's my cell phone provider.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] Reverse-anastomosis:
Back up EFS in twrp while on stock. Flash lineage and restore EFS. This usually works to fix connection issues.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] shkedov:
Here in Israel I have 4g and normal connectivity as usual (but using 3g&2g to save battery).

Could be reverse-anastpmosis's' solution.

But in my experience, maybe you need to update the modem? Check it in the settings>about phone. Go to sammobile and compare the modem version that you have to the newest in the site. Naturally newer android versions work with newer modem versions, it needs an update as far as I know.

So flash via odin the newest stock firmware (that includes the modem, or just the modem if you're familiar with doing that). Btw, in my case updating modem solved my fingerprint sensor back in lineageOS 14.

Just suggesting...
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] Reverse-anastomosis:
If [MENTION=8749970]cooltime[/MENTION] had modem working on whatever stock they were using it should function on lineage. Its most likely that EFS got messed up during the flash of lineage. It really shouldn't mess up EFS, but 15.1 and 16.0 don't seem to play well with EFS. I'm on the latest modem for my flavor of klte. When moving between 14.1, 15.1 and 16.0 I've had to restore EFS several times. I suspect that flashing latest modem would achieve the same result, it just seems easier to restore EFS from twrp.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] shkedov:
It's interesting. I never had problems with connectivity during upgrade, and I'm with LOS since it's been cyanogenmod. And I think that it may be still updating the modem first because of my own experience before and after updating modem. And second is because stock firmware is like 3 or 4 android generations backwards (depends on your country...). So it makes sense to me that an old modem firmware will work properly with an old android version, but it needs to be adapted to new versions when they're out. There might be sleight variations in the code that awakes the need to update the modem.

And again, everything you say makes sense to me too! And your solution is much faster...

They might be two different strategies to solve the same problem...
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] Reverse-anastomosis:
The modem firmware is taken from the stock image. There is not newer modem firmware than the last stock image for your device.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] haggertk:
You say Tello (sprint network) and "klte". This doesn't jive. Exactly which device do you have (SM-G900_) and exactly which build did you download?

Official Instructions

(Optional) Make a backup of your important data

Download the build either from download portal or built in Updater app. (You can export the downloaded package from the Updater app to the sdcard by long-pressing it and then selecting “Export” in the popup menu)

Download proper addons packages (GApps, su…) for Android 9.0/Lineage OS 16.0

Make sure your recovery and firmware are up to date

Format your system partition

Follow the “Installing LineageOS from recovery” section on your device’s installation page

I just upgraded my SM-G900F from official LOS 15.1 to official 16 (latest build) and I have one issue: default camera app (Snap) is not working. I can't even clear it's data, because it's crashing all the time. Third-party camera apps like OpenCam works without problems.

Does anyone experienced this issue after upgrading?
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] IsotopeX:
Hi folks, I have used LOS 15.0 without any problems, but after installing the LOS 16.0 (I have TWRP 3.2.3.0 and properly wiped sytem/data/cache partitions), the system won't boot, it restarts and goes into download mode! Any ideas? :(
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] fitittome:
You followed Step 4 in the instructions?
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] Anidatte:
Yes, I installed Open GApps for 9.0 (nano - I used this before).

I wiped system, ART and cache partitions before upgrading LOS and GApps.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] fitittome:
lol. Neither of those are step 4. Check here:- https://lineageos.org/Changelog-22/
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] Anidatte:
I was thinking, that you are asking about instructions that you posted before in this thread :)

Anyway, the answer is still yes. My recovery is up to date (TWRP 3.2.3) and my firmware is G900FXXU1CRH1_G900FXXU1CQK3. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think it's the latest fw for SM-G900F.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] fitittome:
lol. fixed that!

No, you are all upto date. It should be OK. All I can suggest is a totally clean flash without any extras to double check.

Lineage for S5 sm-900F

Greetings, I want to update a 900F to the last lineage 15.1.

How is the battery life?

Do you have any bugs this rom?

Do whatsapp calls work over wifi?

Is this lineage rom 15.1 better than the 16?

How does the camera work?

What is the A2 camera or something I read in this thread?

What kernet should I use and what does the kernet accomplish? I do not know much about kernets.

This update to Oreo is wanted by a friend, as I can present you the improvements you will have with lineage 15.1 regarding the stock rom.

Sorry for the English of google.

Saludos, quiero actualizar un 900F al ultimo lineage 15.1.

Cual es la camara A2 o algo asi que lei en este hilo?

Cual kernet debo utilizar y que funcion cumple el kernet? no se mucho sobre kernets.

Esta actualizacion a oreo la quiere un amigo, como le puedo presentar las mejoras que tendra con lineage 15.1 con respecto a la rom stock.

Disculpen el ingles de google.

Get 16.0 Instead of 15.1

Don't waste your time with 15.1 as it is not supported anymore by LineageOS & it will not get any OTA (Over The Air) firmware update as described in S5 Official 16.0 OTA Update Success - 2019-03-02.

See [Hands-on] LineageOS 16 gives you the Android Pie experience, but with extra goodies about the features.

Official Wiki Install LineageOS on klte or my post if on a Windows computer: S5 LineageOS Super Clean Install and you can post in that thread to ask questions to S5 16.0 users.

Battery life is better that 15.1, camera, stock kernel & WhatsApp works fine on 16.0.

There are some small bugs but nothing that prevents me for using on my S5 which is my daily driver & fixes are uploaded every day by the LineageOS Team.

[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] shkedov:
I think that the main reason I choose to flash a custom ROM instead of having the stock one is the enormous difference in OS size! Stock ROM is somewhere around 2.3GB, where lineageOS 15.1 for example is only around 300 MB. The Pie los16 is around 450MB, which is still amazing compared to the stock.

From my experience it has always been a faster response and performance, much cleaner from any Samsung commercial bloatware ****, faster boot etc.

I can't never anymore understand people who are aware to that and staying with the stock.

And your English is fine dude

< mod edit: english translation added (Google translate) >

-The duration of the battery depends on the use you give, in my case I have to do a couple of daily charges.

-Up to where there is only a small bug in the bluetooth that sometimes disconnects itself, beyond that nothing

-I do not know, I do not use WhatsApp.

-In my case I preferred to stay in LOS 15.1 because the design of Android 9 I do not like at all and does not bring too many new features compared to 8.1.

-The camera is slightly lower than the stock but still is more than acceptable.

-The camera A2 as you do not refer to the GCam not tell you.

-If you do not know about kernels, better that you stay with the lineage series because as you touch what you should not, you can bricke the phone.

Original post

:

-La duración de la batería depende del uso que le des, en mi caso tengo que hacer un par de cargas diarias.

-Hasta donde se solo hay un pequeño bug en el bluetooth que a veces se desconecta solo, mas allá de eso nada

-No lo se, no uso WhatsApp.

-En mi caso he preferido quedarme en LOS 15.1 porque el diseño de Android 9 no me gusta en absoluto y tampoco trae demasiadas novedades en comparación con 8.1.

-La cámara es ligeramente inferior a la stock pero aún así es más que aceptable.

-Lo de la cámara A2 como no te refieras a la GCam no te se decir.

-Si no sabes sobre kernels mejor que te quedes con el de serie de lineage porque como toques lo que no debes puedes brickear el teléfono.
