I'm travelling and the clock only shows roaming time, and not both time zones (initial and roaming). Is that normal behaviour? Can it be changed without a third party app? Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] mkosel:
Five days ago I did a clean install in my 900V (wipe system, data, cache and davilic) of 16.0 using the Jan 2019 version with TWPR, Magisk 18.0 and OpenGApps. Everything has been fine until today when I placed my phone in airplane mode and powered my device off. When I rebooted the device 20 minutes later, I found I cannot connect to cell signal. when I go to about phone --> sim status it says Sim Status mobile network state "disconnected", network "Unknown", EID Unknown. My phone number is listed and a MEID list filled in

To address, I have rebooted several times and have also wipes ART/davilik and cache with reboot only to encounter the same issue. Also, I am able to use wifi without a problem. does anyone have any ideas how to fix?
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] HolyHog:
The easiest way is to have a TWRP backup of just the EFS settings from a good connection ROM and restore it when you lose the LTE connection. If you don't have that backup you can install a stock ROM that will reset your connection settings. Look for a stock ROM that is a zip file that you flash from TWRP and that way you won't need a computer to fix this later.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] mkosel:
Thanks so much for your quick reply. I have a previous TWRP complete backup that includes the EFS partition, would restoring JUST the EFS partion from that backup work?..... or does the backup have to ONLY contain the EFS partition?
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] HolyHog:
I have not tried that but I think it would work. It will not hurt your phone to try it.

No Network, No IMEI, No SIM & EFS Partition Restore Fix

Have you tried turning off the phone, removing & reinserting the SIM card then turning back on?

From this EFS Partitions: What They Are And How To Get It Back If Lost thread:

"EFS stands for Encrypted File System. Imagine the EFS as a big folder containing all of the important stuff that makes the "phone" part of your phone... It contains your IMEI, lots of files revolving around your SIM card and Wifi/Bluetooth (this includes your MAC address for all the radios of your phone), and lots of other things..."

Yes you can restore any part of a full TWRP backup depending on the situation including only the EFS partition in your case to fix a No Network and/or a No IMEI problem.

TWRP > Restore > Select Storage (where your backup is located) > Select Package to Restore > Select Partitions to Restore > EFS (do not select Enable Digest) > Swipe to Restore. Reboot to System without doing anything else in TWRP.

View attachment 4686756

You could make a backup of your current EFS before restoring the other one, just in case.

Besides making a separate EFS Partition which I copy to computer because it's so small (only 10MB on the S5 as seen in the screenshot) I always include EFS when making a full TWRP backup before flashing a firmware.

TWRP > Backup > Select Storage to external Micro SD card (so it does not get erased when flashing a new ROM or using Format Data) > Name: EFS_Backup (for example) > select only EFS > Swipe to Backup.

View attachment 4686757

For users who have a No Network, No IMEI and/or No SIM problem & do not have an EFS Partition backup; if turning off & back on the phone does not fix the problem:

In TWRP make a full backup of your current installation EXCEPT the EFS partition because you are currently having problems with it.

Install the most recent stock Samsung firmware for your phone. Write down and/or screenshot your working APN settings.

WARNING: If you do that with the special case S5 SM-G900V it will re-lock the bootloader and you will have to unlock it again.

Install TWRP & make an EFS partition backup before flashing LineageOS.

Either do a S5 LineageOS Super Clean Install or restore the backup you made above EXCEPT the EFS partition.

If after booting to System you still have a No Network and/or No IMEI problem, restore the EFS partition made while running the Samsung stock firmware in TWRP.

If it's still does not work compare the APN settings while running the Samsung stock firmware to LineageOS > Settings > Network & internet > Mobile network > expand Advanced > scroll all the way down to > Access Point Names (APN) & long press the APN's name, edit & 3-dots Save if any corrections are needed.

This post is about the S3 but includes feedback from users who fixed their No Network problem by restoring an EFS backup: EFS Partition Backup - No Service, No IMEI & No SIM Card Fix

The backup & restore procedure is the same on the S5.

Possible bug with sounds

I installed KLTE version of haggertk's (20190109), with nothing else added aside from pico gapps, and it works exceptionally well - thanks for the fantastic job!

The only weird thing I noticed so far is that I can't change (better said, I couldn't find a way to change, so far) any sound.

If I access 'Settings/Sounds/Advanced', among other options I see 'Phone ringtone', 'Default notification sound' and 'Default alarm sound'.

After selecting any of these, I get a page with several options ('My sounds', 'Pixel sounds', etc.), but if I select one of them, I just go back to the previous page.... :confused:

Is that something happening to anyone else?
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] fitittome:
Nope. Capture a logcat and see what it says.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] fitittome:
Correct. I don't install stuff that messes with core OS functionality. I think its important for getting a baseline on the overall reliability during this phase of testing.

Anyway, it does raise the old question of where to report this type of issue, as the proper Gitlab route is only available for official builds. It is unrealistic to expect devs to trawl through these forums to pick up on issues. Even if they do, it is a huge effort to relog them on any 'internal' system.

I think expanding the Gitlab system to accommodate 'credible' unofficial builds maybe the way forward. Who knows?
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] MapisM:
Many thanks to you for checking what I reported, I really appreciate! :good:

I already tried also your workaround (#2), and it works just fine for what I wanted to do (i.e., configure also on the new ROM my usual sounds).

Btw, just in case anyone else is interested, in the meantime I also installed Powertools and Greenify, because I'm already used to these tools and I like them.

That's what made me realize that this ROM is not rooted by default (not because it wasn't already mentioned, but just because I didn't notice - my fault).

So, I used TWRP 3.2.3-0 to flash the "boot.img" file which is included in the ZIP file of the ROM, and also "Magisk-v18.0.zip" right afterward.

That successfully rooted the ROM in a minute, and made Powertools and Greenify work as they should.

For all intents and purposes, my S5 is now pretty much a brand new device. Couldn't be better!

[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] stiltzkin:
I have a G900V.

Today I attempted to update to haggertk's 20190109 build, but upon rebooting to system, the phone does the standard "Phone is starting" progress bar on the home screen and then the whole system abruptly dies. The screen goes black and the phone does not respond to any button inputs.

I figured, OK - dirty flashing is not going to work. So I wiped data and did a clean flash. Upon boot, phone does the "Just a sec..." screen, and then same thing, drops to a black screen and the phone is a paperweight.

Next I tried a full nandroid restore from a working configuration to reset all partitions, then wiped data and clean flashed 20190109. Same black screen issue.

Next I figured maybe this is an issue with this particular build, so I reverted to the previous working release I was running, 20181203. Same black screen issue.

So at this point, I see two possibilities. One is that something is broken in software that was not recovered by my nandroid restore. In that case, how can I odin/twrp to stock without re-locking my bootloader/resetting my CID? The other possibility is that my phone has finally completely died and this is a hardware problem.

Any thoughts?

Re: S5 SM-G900V Black Screen On Boot

Wow, sounds bad. :eek:

I don't know the specifics about the S5 SM-G900V & unlocking it's bootloader as my S5 G900M was never locked but flashing the most recent stock Samsung firmware for your S5 would be a good option to try to fix corrupted partitions or bootloader. Maybe [MENTION=6928202]KazuDante[/MENTION] who owns a G900V could help?

Meanwhile two suggestions & I'm copy/pasting some stuff from the Super Clean Install post:

Maybe your bootloader (named aboot in the S5) is corrupted. If you don't have it already get the most recent @ the present bootloader/modem combo in haggertk's > Root > Bootloader_Modem_Firmware > Android-M > SM-G900V: G900VVRU2DQL1_G900VVRU2DQL1_Baseband_Firmware.tar.md5 (Feb. 2018) and flash it using the most recent (@ the present) Odin3 v3.13.1: https://dl.sammobile.com/Odin3-v3.13.1.zip & using the AP button to add the file.

I described how I updated my S5 here: S5 Odin Flashable Modem & Bootloader

And let Odin reboot the S5. If it still fails to boot:

In TWRP use Format Data which rebuilds the entire file system of the Data partition including the internal sdcard instead of using wipe that only deletes files of Data without affecting the internal sdcard (screenshot).

See TWRP FAQ: What is a data/media device? for detailed explanations.

View attachment 4690579

In TWRP after Format Data > Advanced wipe of Cache, Dalvik / Art Cache & System & reboot to Recovery before installing haggertk's LineageOS 16.0 most recent build @ the present 2019-01-09 firmware + Open GApps (if you wish) then reboot to System.

If you want to use Magisk flash it only after your boot problem is fixed.

In TWRP MTP is enabled by default so you could copy the files you want to flash to the external Micro SD card of remove it from the phone & use a card reader to connect to a computer.

You could also backup the content of your internal sdcard because Format Data will destroy all it's content as explained in the FAQ linked above & as seen in the red type warning of the screenshot.

Good luck & please report back if you fix your problem or not. :cool:

Re: Flashing Bootloader & Modem - WPS WiFi?

"...I guess he can type faster than me.. - You must be extra slow because I'm a slow two-finger typer. ;) I often cheat as I save most of my posts in a master .txt file so copy/pasting some relevant parts saves some typing.

All the files that haggertk is listing in the post you linked to are included in his Odin flashable bootloader/modem combos except for the KLTEVZW Modem-Firmware which includes only the modem files: modem.bin & non-hlos.bin and nothing else.:

Edit: Thanks for the pointer [MENTION=8915476]BlueCyclone[/MENTION] :good:. I added a note about those files in the S5 Odin Flashable Modem & Bootloader post & in the attached Odin3 screenshot > Log you can see those files successfully flashed.

WPS?

There are no stupid questions & I learned something as I did not know what wps was so I ran this site search: site:xdaforums.com/ wps which led me to this thread [APP] [4.2+] WPS WiFi Tester - Hack with amounts of static pins and 30+ algorithms which says:

"WPS WiFi is the kind of WiFi network which uses 8 digits PIN to access. Unlike password protected WiFi, WPS WiFi only allows numeric digits to be set as the key, which may be vulnerable..." :eek:

I checked in my S5 LineageOS 16.0 haggertk 2019-01-09 Build & did not find any WiFi settings to change to WPS. My guess is that if you connect to a WiFi network w/ WPS then it is set automatically to WPS instead of WPA2 PSK Security.

You could check that by long pressing on the network's name after connecting to it. Or try the app linked in that thread.

Please report back if this is correct.

Concerning the boot logo: I don't think you can change it as it's part of the bootloader. As far as I know you can only change the logo on Exynos phones.

In case you'd like to have the new "Powered by Android" logo just flash the latest firmware and you'll have it.

Hope this helps.

Using the the Unofficial 16.0 klte build from 9JAN2019.

There is one curious line the logcat:-

It makes me curious about api.mywot.com is because it's not a Bromite thing...... The crash in Browser (Jelly) is more dramatic and makes me think it maybe Stagefright related. Also, I can see some work in progress on Stagefright

gps works great

Bluetooth so far no bug

would like to see when turning on battery saver mode please enable grey scale mode instead of the dark theme as ive notice it really bogs the phone down and makes icons glitch out and go invinsible and the whole phone becomes not really responsive

more optimization for cell signal would be great I still don't get and service in my basement and my gf has the same phone and she gets 4 bars

would like to see the clear all app section have a persistent clear all button so people don't have to scroll for miles to clear all apps xD

I don't think ive seen my live display work at all when on auto

would like to see my carrier for my cell service pop up with the right name (myn is virgin mobile and it pops up with Bell instead since its the brother company/tower)

some intrusive root apps like Zanti3.18 when scanning for vulnerabilitys in app and csploit when giving root and restarting the app for example with cause kernel panics to happen and instantly reboot your phone I cant logcat because it reboots and gets rid of my kernel logs and the restarts from the apps are the only thing that leads to kernel panics (don't know if this is app related rom related or kernel related

S5 battery problem, I have encountered the same problem, it should not be a battery problem, I used 2 batteries and the results are the same, but if you use the official ROM or custom 7.1.2 ROM, everything is normal, this should not be a fake charge, if it is true Fake charging, that should be ROM

problem!
