Thanks for your reply. I have checked your post on #970, and followed the link to the model file, which is actually the same that is in first page and did not worked for me : "SC04FOMU1XQH1_SC04FOMU1XQH1_baseband_firmware.tar.md5"

To be sure, I have tried to flash it from Odin again, but I still get the flapping LTE/Disconnect every few seconds or so. I'll wait for your cellular network tests results to check then. For the battery, I will do some mote tests, but if it actually charge and just not display it that's fine. Hope it will not overcharge as well. One of the phone battery started to inflate after being plugged overnight while "off" (Which as well does not act properly, since it loops displaying battery icon, circling charge status icon, vibrate, screen off, battery icon again. This more or less every minute). But that is also expected with such batteries that are more than 6 years old...
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] hk133hk:
LTE & WCDMA network not working for me, no signal if I choose LTE only, able to call but couldn't connect to Internet if I choose GSM or WCDMA.

For the battery, you need to turn on the phone so that it could charge, if you don‘t have USB voltage and current meter, you can charge your phone for 5-10 minutes, then reboot your phone, and check whether the battery percentage changed once(increased) after reboot, if so, that means the phone could charge, and from the data of my USB voltage and current meter, it seems like the charging control of the phone is working properly, so you don’t need to worry about overcharge, just remember to plug off the phone from charger after 2-3 hours.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] Jesus Army:
Thanks for your tests, so you do have same issue with LTE. Since it is working fine with Lineage 17.1, I wonder if it could be fixed on Lineage side or if there is no option since there is no other modem binaries available from Samsung.

For the charging mode, it seems that booting to recovery for charging the phone could be the best option maybe?
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] hk133hk:
Yep, same LTE issue here.

I am using lineage recovery on this phone so no battery status shown on it.¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Oops, charging is not working after I updated to the latest version of LineageOS 18.1.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] Jesus Army:
I had the charging issue at least with the three nightly. And I have used the oldest version available of /e/ from December 2021, which also have the charging issue. But I use TWRP which display the charging status, and provide more options to fix partition issues, etc. :)

Any tutorial or procedure to install magisk? I tried it by installing the latest version of magisk apk plus the magisk.zip file by twrp and it gives me an error when flashing!! What am I doing wrong?

[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] yoshkapundrick:
Sorry for the novice question. VOLTE/LTE is working on 17.1?
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] kurtn:
Hey, we are talking about an aosp based custom ROM for a Samsung device. You will find not a single one with VoLTE. 4G(LTE) works fine for data.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] yoshkapundrick:
"Thanks for your tests, so you do have same issue with LTE. Since it is working fine with Lineage 17.1"

Was what I was asking about. So you are saying "it" is the rom whereas I read it as LTE.

Sorry for the novice q

uestion.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] Jesus Army:
LTE network connectivity work for data with 17.1. But does not work on 18.1 for JP/Docomo version of the phone (SC-04F) that I have. This is the discussion we are having here with hk133hk. :)

VoLTE (for voice call then) do not show up on 17.1 as well, but indeed I have read here that no one could reverse engineer Samsung's code on that and then it won't be available in any custom Android Rom for Samsung yet.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] yoshkapundrick:
That has been my impression as well so I'm looking for anything new as my 900T has been cut off from AT&T.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] Jesus Army:
I did some more tests, and phone do not charge while LineageOS is running. Even after a reboot.

But it charges well within TWRP. :)
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] hk133hk:
Same situation after updated to latest version of LOS 18.1, and the phone also charges well in LOS recovery.

I use USB voltage and current meter to check whether the phone is charging or not.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] Jesus Army:
I actually have another SC-04F on which I did flash the latest unofficial 17.1 available, and seems that it does not charge as well, even after a clean reboot. Not sure which parameter is different for your build that was able to charge... :)
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] hk133hk:
I would flash the modem file again and test whether this method is still work on the latest version of 18.1.

And as I mentioned, the phone should be able to charge after flash that file by Odin, but there is nothing would shows on the phone, no sound or any other notice, even after you reboot the phone. The reboot process is to refresh the battery level shows on the phone, so that you could know whether the phone is charging or not, and while your phone is still plug in the charger, the battery level would only “refresh once” when you reboot the phone.

update: method is checked and still working proved by my USB meter.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] Jesus Army:
Hey hk133hk! For info I have found the docking station that was sold together with the sc-04f and it does charge normally from the dock ! Even the led charging light is working (yellow while on charge and turn green at 100%). That's a good news! I don't know if you still have it?
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] hk133hk:
My SC-04F is a refurbished phone without any accessories :(
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] jenssa:
I finally got around to deal with the SafetyNet failure. The trick was to install SAFETYNET-FIX-v1.2.0 as a Magisk module.

Edit 26/4: While the phone does pass the SaftetyNet test, I'v not been able to root properly. I've installed the latest Magisk: 63a89d9f (24306) (27).
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] r3actor:
Before I start installing TWRP, I wanted to update modem and bootloader for my stock version of S5 (SM-G900F) phone. So I followed your link and there I downloaded haggertk's baseband file G900FXXU1CSA1_G900FXXS1CQA4_baseband_firmware.tar.md5

...from this link: https://androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=325193

Now when I run Odin... can you tell me which button I should press in order to flash that modem and bootloader (baseband) file? I'm guessing 'bootloader' or 'BL' button should be pressed and then I should select the file? Correct?

btw. I extracted that *.md5 file by removing 'md5' file extension and leaving it with *.tar extension. Inside that '*.tar' archive, there are files:

aboot.mbn
modem.bin
NON-HLOS.bin
rpm.mbn
sbl1.mbn
sdi.mbn
tz.mbn
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] buntbart:
I usually update my 900F once a month. Since the last update of LOS on 4/17/22, OSMAnd+ can no longer access the SD card where map files are stored. And since the klte has only 16GB of internal memory, I guess I can hardly use OSMAnd+ with it anymore.

Does LineageOS change anything in this regard or do I have to wait until OSMAnd+ is adapted?
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] BigPulco:
FYI: I am using the same LOS software level (lineage-18.1-20220417-nightly-klte) in my KLTE device and I have no problem to access my SD card.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] buntbart:
I currently have no problems accessing the SD card with other apps. I only have this problem with OSMAnd+. Does the access work for you with this app?
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] BigPulco:
Sorry for misunderstanding your question. I am not using OSMAnd+ app.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] curiousrom:
No, use the AP button as explained in S5 Odin Flashable Modem & Bootloader > How I Updated Bootloader & Modem of My S5 on a Windows PC chapter and illustrated in the Odin3 screenshot attachment.

Do not modify haggertk's modem/bootloader file including do not remove the md5 extension before flashing it

[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] x2k13:
There's already numerous posts in their forums and issues on GitHub.

You will have either to wait or use this workaround:

1. Go to SD-Card Downloads folder, add a new folder, e.g. osmand.

2. Go to Osmand app and point the storage settings to there.

You will be able to download and update again.

Quick and dirty fix. Not a nice one, but works for now.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] buntbart:
I have tried several ways, this one too, but unfortunately without success. Apparently OSMAnd can no longer cope with the current way of managing permissions on SD cards in LOS. Other apps with outsourced directories like c:geo get along with it without any problems.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] buntbart:
I'm not into it enough, but maybe this issue came from this change:

https://review.lineageos.org/c/LineageOS/android_packages_providers_MediaProvider/+/328228/
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] x2k13:
Still works for me. Same device, same LOS version and update. Odd.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] buntbart:
Wow, I missed the point that you pointed to the Downloads folder. I tried several different before but not that one.

It worked now with the Downloads folder! Thank you for this hint!
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] r3actor:
Ok, thanks. I followed your tutorial and it went (almost) ok.

So, I used Odin 3.14.1 version, flashed that *.tar.md5 file by pressing 'AP' button, and when ODIN rebooted the phone I pulled out the USB cable (as per your insttruction). Odin process was ended with green 'PASS' before it restarted.

BUT, when phone booted up, I got pop-up sayng that 'S-Health' stopped working.

The most important thing is that now I can' use those 'soft keys' (the ones left and right of HOME button). You know, the ones for 'manu' and 'back'. They don't light up. I restarted the phone but it still the same.

I did nothing else by flash that *.tar.md5 file though ODIN. I wasn't touching anything else.

So... how can I fix that, before I proceed with TWRP installation?
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] curiousrom:
Don't try to fix Android 5. Just install TWRP & LineageOS & move on!

***
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] r3actor:
Ok, thanks. In the meantime I installed TWRP 3.6.1_9-0, and used twrp to backup everything (except 'cache') to an external SD card. Then I copied 'TRWP' folder from that external sd card to my hard drive.

Now I need to wipe (or format) everything from within TWRP and then proceed with ROM / gapps installation. (I just have to read what exactly to format and what to wipe, since I see that format is better than wipe)

After that, I guess all that is left is to install Official LOS 18.1 rom (https://mirrorbits.lineageos.org/full/klte/20220417/lineage-18.1-20220417-nightly-klte-signed.zip) and gapps 'nano' (though I would like more 'pico' but... don't know if its a good idea). btw. what is lineage-18.1-20220417-recovery-klte.img that can be found on LOS 18.1 page here: https://download.lineageos.org/klte

I know that these 2 (rom and gapps) should be installed 'together' (in one go).

What I want to know is how to properly install magisk (and which version)? If I remember correctly, I should get *.apk file. And then make a copy of it. The copy should be renamed to *.zip and then put together to be installed though TWRP, and the other magisk *.apk file should be later installed regulary by running it from the phone file manager.

BUT... what magisk version should I use, and should I make all 3 to be installed in one go (ROM, gapps, and magisk), or I should first install ROM and gapps, reboot to OS, and then later go back again to TWRP recovery mode to isntall magisk?

EDIT:

Ok, for now I formated data, and then wiped Delvik cache / Art, System, and cache. Then in one go I installed LOS 18.1 ROM and gapps pico.

I got another 'issue' here. I installed youtube though google play, but...when I start youtube it sais '"there was a problem with the server[400]". Then I noticed its youtube version v14 instead v16. Google play do not offer any 'upgrade' (or update). But I know there are newer versions of youtube (like version v16).

I tried to go to Settings > apps > youtube and 'clean cache' and reboot the phone, but its still the same.

Anyone knows how to fix this youtube issue?

[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] r3actor:
thanks for a fast reply.

I already knew that there are 'custom' youtube apps, like 'youtube vanced' which stopped developement.

But I wanted 'real' youtube. I knew there is an option to download the file from ...apkmirror, BUT... what if youtube release a newer version in the future and google play do not offer an update then? I guess I would be forced to uninstall old version and install again newer (*.apk) version from apkmirror?

Thing is... I have an SM-T560 tablet which had similar issue with youtube. The max version it could isntall was v14 on anroid 4. Just for that, I had to install Android 7, and after I put VIPER rom on that tablet, google play allowed me to install latest youtube version.

So... as a newb ...I'm thinking... is there are way that google play 'know' somehow which device I got and because of that it blocks the installation of latest youtube version? I don't know how to explain, but...it allowed me to install youtube on Android 7 on my tablet, but now it creates an issue over Galaxy S5 phone. Its kinda strange. :(
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] curiousrom:

Complain to YouTube and/or Play Store. 🤷‍♂️

Or spoof your S5's fingerprint to a newer device maybe.

[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] jdrch:
Is anyone else having trouble with the S5 completely losing internet connectivity (despite being connected to a working Wi-Fi network) after a few days. So far the only fix I've found is to reboot. Toggling airplane mode and Wi-Fi do nothing.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] jdrch:
I didn't realize Vanced died, but at least I have it on all my devices so I can still avoid paying for YouTube Premium :P
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] Jesus Army:
Not saying that this is the best option for you. But for info I have uninstalled youtube app about a year ago, and I am now using Firefox with "Youtube High Definition" and "uBlock Origin" plugins. With that once you remove the original app you have pretty much same experience as the app, but with absolutely no ads and. Background play, start stop from bluetooth device etc available. The only missing feature for me is to cast with another player like the Xbox. But you will not want to do that anyway since once you get used to youtube without ads it's difficult to go back... :D
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] BigPulco:
NewPipe is also able to do the same job and it's development still continuing. You may examine their page

NewPipe - a free YouTube client

newpipe.net
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] r3actor:
I'm using that combo on my PC. For this phone (S5) it needs to have youtube app because phone is not meant for me. Also, firefox (as any other browser) eats ram, which is something that this phone doesn't have a lot. IMO its much better to have dedicated youtube app.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] r3actor:
I installed latest v17 youtube app from apkmirror. The strange thing is, when I afterwards visited google play and looked for youtube, it still offering me older v14. Buk ok, for now this apkmirror apk 'works'.

As for newpipe... I'll check it out. But if it does similar thing like youtube vanced, that only means one thing: youtube (google) will manage to close it down just like they did to youtube vanced.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] BigPulco:
As internet browser, you may try "bromite browser". To do that the best way is to use FFUpdater in my opinion. You can find FFUpdater in F-Droid:

Bad News: No Official LineageOS 19 for the S5 klte* Family

From the official LineageOS Changelog 26 - Tailored Twelve, Audacious Automotive, Neat Networking, Devoted Developers > Let’s talk about legacy devices chapter:

The good news is that LineageOS supports 2 versions @ the same time so official LineageOS 18.1 will continue receiving monthly Android security updates & some patches until LOS 20 (or similar) is launched sometime in more or less 12 months.

Thanks Mr. haggertk for this amazing run. :cool: 👍

No Mobile Data

That's on which S5 model exactly and which OS were you running before updating?

Updating the modem may help. See S5 Odin Flashable Modem & Bootloader.

Try > Settings > Network & internet > Mobile network > Advanced > Access Point Names > APN > and make 100% sure that they are identical to your network provider's current recommended settings then turn off the device, wait a few seconds, turn back on, then send an SMS before receiving one.

[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] Tomek0000:
Hi. I updated SM-G900F in stock to the newest version using buidl-in updater. Next installed offcial the newest TWRP twrp-3.6.1_9-0-klte.img.tar , the newest LOS 18.1 lineage-18.1-20220425-recovery-klte.img and the new opengaps open_gapps-arm-11.0-pico-20220110.zip . I installed magisk 24.3 after boot to system. (Install rom,gapps and magisk in one step finished error during installing magisk). It was not easy, but I downgraded magisk to 24.1 (this time I reinstalled rom (dirty install), gapps magisk in one step in success)... and from magisk side of view all is ok for 24.3 and 24.1. It distributes root to registered applications. This is the same result from apps side for both versions of magisks:

Applications are not able to do own job report about no root. What version of magisk should I use ? Do I do someting wrong?

Edit.

It is not problem of all applications. When I updated the problematic one, it works correct.

Should magisk 24.3 works the same good like 24.1 ? 24.3 does not work correct on xperia z and xperia tablet z . Maybe s5 has similar problems ?
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] BigPulco:
I am personally using Magisk V23.0 and I do not have any issue that root-cause is magisk.

I have installed LOS 18.1 on Galaxy S5 (G900F). Everything works...

But... now I want to insert my own host file. For that I need root. Since addonsu and removesu is not supported for LOS 18.1, I guess I would have to use Magisk to get root. BUT...once I change things, I would like to 'remove root'.

So... can someone tell me, how to install Magisk (what version), and then, how to remove it.

I could try to paste my 'host' file into /system/etc via TWRP (from extended storage), but once I finish that,...how to remove Magisk? Can it be done though TWRP? Can someone guide me? Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] kurtn:
In twrp you don't need magisk. You can simply use file manager or adb to write a file in system partition. Mount it as writable.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] r3actor:
Thanks for your answer.

But, since I never did anything (like this) through TWRP, can you tell me how to 'mount it as writiable' ? (mount... what? 'system' ?) Sorry for stupid questions but...I just never did such thing before and I have no clue.

In the past I used File Explorer (once I rooted the phone), or nowdays MiXplorer to do things. But thats from within Android OS. Never did change things (moved, pasted, deleted system files) through TWRP.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] Tomek0000:
TWRP has option for mount and unmount partitions. Use it for unmount, change option and mount again. File manager is a feature of twrp. Use is as similar windows application and copy file from your location to system location.

S5 LineageOS 18.1 Update 2022-05-15 - Android Security Bump

Using the built-in Updater I OTA updated S5 G900M LineageOS 18.1 klte build 2022-04-17 + MindTheGapps + Magisk 23.0 + TWRP 3.6.1_9-0 to build 2022-05-15: everything went smoothly as usual & GApps + Magisk survived the update.

There are several changes listed in https://download.lineageos.org/klte/changes/ but most importantly it includes the monthly Android security bump: Bump Security String to 2022-05-05.

After the automatic reboot as seen in the screenshot > Settings > About phone > press on Android version > Android security update: May 5, 2022.

The Vendor security patch level just below it remains @ August 1, 2017 because the vendor is Samsung & it is not publishing security patches for it's S5 proprietary hardware related blobs anymore since August 2017.

See Android Security Bulletin - May 2022 for details about the security fixes.

Thank you to the Lineage Team & Mr. haggertk for keeping our old S5 klte* up to date. :cool: 👍
