[LG V35 Questions & Answers] ChazzMatt:
I did not ask why you did it. So you are wrong in stating that.

I also never used the word piracy. It never came out if my mouth.

However, since you brought up the subject, I'm sure know Chip Erase is often used to launder stolen phones. That's a frequent reason people would purposefully erase IMEI and serial number to replace with another. That's NOT why it's in LGUP -- but that is a usage. And no, I'm not accusing you of being a thief.

Others use it to avoid paying high import taxes on their phones. But usually it's the "professional" dealer who does that in those country, not the "amateur" buyer.

In all my guides about bootloader unlock and cross flashing LG firmware, I've never seen a valid reason to use Chip Erase (for those specific functions).

There are other reasons a professional cell repair people would use Chip Erase -- but those professionals also know how to recover from it.

It's a very powerful "destructive" tool -- much like how dynamite is sometimes used in construction. I am merely warning others not to do as you did and screw up your phone. There's too many people using it and not knowing how destructive it can be.

Over in the V30 forum some people have claimed in other forums advanced users have advised them to use it, then the victims come here to XDA asking for help. So, whoever told to to use it at that Russian site, I was telling you they should also help you.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d5idon:
As mentioned in the title, I just got a brand new Huawei Nova 5i Pro with EMUI 9.1. It's a Chinese version without any of the Google apps.

I've already tried GMSInstaller 1.2 and GoogleInstaller apps. At first, all google apps crashed upon startup. Once I got to open Google Play, the "Sign in" button appeared but clicking on it froze the app. The same happened when I tried to add a Google account in Accounts.

After that, I did a factory reset and installed all apks again from Apkpure. Still not connecting.

Did I do something wrong? Does anybody knows a different method to bypass the Huawei block? I used the same apps on my previous Honor 9 and I never had any issues.

Thanks in advance!

Something like a certain threshold, above which the voice is transmitted, otherwise is cut out.

[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] postai:
I bought a Galaxy s5 on Amazon a few years ago, and now I want to give it to my child. The phone is not rooted, and the current version of the OS is 5. I wanted to upgrade it to 6 (in order to install the family link app) but I have got an auth error in odin with several firmwares that I tried to install. I am now trying to find the exact model of the phone, but I am really confused:

On the one hand - on the sticker behind the battery it is written SM-G900F, this is also the model that I see in the phone's setting, the PDA version is G900FXXU1POEC, and the CSC version is G900FOJV1POF1.

On the other hand, the bootloader version is G9006VZNU1BOE3, this is also the baseband version, and when I entered into download mode the model of the phone is SM-G9006V

So what is the correct phone version? Which firmware should I download?
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ibuprophen:
I don't have either variants you had mentioned myself but, it looks like you have the following SM-G900F device...

https://www.sammobile.com/samsung/galaxy-s5/firmware/SM-G900F/XSG/

... with the following firmware that was originally flashed.

https://www.sammobile.com/samsung/galaxy-s5/firmware/SM-G900F/XSG/download/G900FXXU1POEC/48069/

That's the original firmware before the firmware was changed to the SM-G9006V.

This was possible because the SM-G900F device is an international variant. The international variants comes with its Bootloader already unlocked.

I hoped that I had clarified this okay via text... :eek:

What is My Galaxy S5 Model?

Stickers can be changed & users may install the wrong stuff on their S5. :eek:

The only way to know the truth about what is your S5 model is to turn off the phone & boot in Odin Mode (aka Download mode): press and hold Home + Power + Volume Down buttons and confirm with Volume up to Continue.

What is the PRODUCT NAME that you can see after you accept the disclamer?

I mean like in the attach photo.

Then you can go to a site like https://www.sammobile.com/ and get the most recent Samsung firmware for your model which will also install the proper modem & bootloader (named aboot on the S5). See the Instructions (1 file) chapter in their download pages which applies to the S5.

Why not upgrade to Android 9.0 on which is based LineageOS 16.0 if your S5 model is compatible.

See S5 super clean install.

My Galaxy S5 G900M LineageOS 16.0 klte + Open GApps Pico + LineageOS AddonSU is running great after doing a clean install 4 months ago.

[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] curiousrom:
Galaxy S5 SM-G9006V & G900F Scam

"SM-G9006V..." - Bad news. You got scammed like the user in this thread for example Galaxy S5 SM-G9006V Variant issues:

The only stock Samsung 6.0.1 that you can install on your SM-G9006V was made for China Unicom and it does not include the Google framework which is required to install Play Store & many apps thanks to the Great Firewall of China censorship policy: https://www.sammobile.com/samsung/galaxy-s5/firmware/SM-G9006V/

You can find other similar cases with this search: site:xdaforums.com/ SM-G9006V

AFAIK you have 3 options:

Keep the phone as it is.

Try to find some modified Samsung 6.0.1 or other custom firmwares on XDA that would work on your SM-G9006V.

Do a full TWRP backup then update to the awesome LineageOS 16.0 as described here including updating TWRP (SM-G9006V compatible version) & the modem & bootloader for the SM-G9006V. The post includes links to pages explaining how to do that: S5 super clean install

Edit: I did no search very hard but could not find an Odin flashable modem & bootloader package for the SM-G9006V. So in that case installing the most recent stock Samsung 6.0.1 for SM-G9006V will update your modem/baseband to G9006VZNS1CRH1 + the bootloader then you flash TWRP then you can flash LineageOS + Open GApps (for the Play Store).

WARNING: Do NOT flash any bootloader not made specifically for the SM-G9006V.

"I don't even know what LineageOS is..." - [Hands-on] LineageOS 16 gives you the Android Pie experience, but with extra goodies

Thanks!

So, from what I understand, do you recommend that I'll first download and flash the stock 6.01 for SM-G9006V, which is China unicorn, and then I'll install LineagaOS 16.0?
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] curiousrom:
Installing LineageOS 16.0 on S5 SM-G9006V

Yes because the fingerprint sensor will not work with your old Android 5.0 modem & bootloader in Android 9.0 on which LineageOS 16.0 is based besides probably giving you better network reception & better battery life.

But as described in S5 super clean install: stock Samsung firmware > with your SIM inserted make sure you get network signal & data then write down the APN settings: Settings > More networks > Mobile networks > Access point Names (and/or make some screenshots of it: volume down + Power buttons, should be saved in internal sdcard > DCIM > Screenshots). That's just in case you have a network access problem in LineageOS. > install TWRP using Odin3 (see Flashing TWRP Recovery on Samsung Firmware chapter) > Backup the EFS partition to the external Micro SD card using TWRP while still running the stock Samsung firmware > install LineageOS + Open GApps.

Just curious: could you make some screenshots of all the installed apps in the stock China S5 Samsung firmware please? You need to copy or move them to computer before installing LineageOS because they will be erased if you use Format Data in TWRP which is recommended.

Because you have less than 10 posts @ the present you can't post links or attach images as per XDA's rules I think. You can post anything in the XDA Off-topic forum until you reach 10 posts: https://xdaforums.com/general/off-topic which is preferable or upload them somewhere and post a broken link with spaces like https ://forum.xda-developers .com & we will understand.

BTW in LineageOS the screenshots are saved in internal sdcard > Pictures > Screenshots. APN: Settings > Network & internet > Mobile network > expand Advanced > scroll all the way down to > Access Point Names (APN)… works on my Galaxy S5 G900M LineageOS 16.0.

"...which is China unicorn" - Maybe they do have some unicorns in China but in this case it's China Unicom. ;)

[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] curiousrom:
Re: Installing LineageOS 16.0 on S5 SM-G9006V

As long if you know your working APN settings. The reason is some network providers may not be in the LineageOS providers files or some providers do not like custom firmwares.

What is your network provider + country & do you have LTE on the status bar?

Tip: go to your XDA profile in this panel https://xdaforums.com/profile.php?do=editprofile and add info > Devices: Samsung Galaxy S5. > Additional Information > Service provider as it's useful for troubleshooting & it will show when clicking the arrow under the username in a browser. Also > City & Home country & then you will get a flag under your username which gives an international flavor to the XDA threads IMO.

Note: [MENTION=10070858]postai[/MENTION] you have to make a new EFS partition backup after updating to 6.0.1 as it will modify some files in that partition.

Good, you can't have too many backups IMO.

No because TWRP is flashed with Odin & Odin is a good that can do many things. ;)

Then with an unlocked bootloader (which is the case for most S5 klte variants out-of-the-box including yours except for the SM-G900V) TWRP can flash a .zip firmware. Root is to do stuff while running in System.

I updated S5 super clean install with some stuff about root after flashing LineageOS.

You said in post #1 that the S5 was for your child. How old is he or she?

He is 12. I wanted to install Google family link before I am giving him the phone. However, this app does not work on Lollipop, thus I started the adventure of upgrading the OS (which turns out to be longer than I expected)
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] curiousrom:
Re: Installing LineageOS 16.0 on S5 SM-G9006V

Yes after flashing TWRP on your S5 running Samsung stock 6.0.1 you can use it to restore a TWRP backup.

That feature is awesome as you can try different custom firmwares and quickly return to your current state.

If you don’t have a network problem restore only Boot (which is the kernel & not the S5's aboot - bootloader), System (Android OS) & Data (Apps) according to the principle: if it ain't broken, don't fix it as Samsung stock 6.0.1 will modify modem & EFS partition.
