[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] DarkSteve:
Great! Keep in mind, older TWRP doesn't work great with ROMs based on newer Android versions. You can update TWRP from within TWRP if needed.

Oh! That's a bit old! I didn't know the S5 could be downgraded that low!

Before the klte was sunsetted by the official LOS team, they recommended you be running Android 6.0.1 to install LineageOS 18.1. Here is the old unmaintained official guide. But don't follow it too closely, I'm including it for context.

What I would do (no warranty or guarantee!) is put the latest TWRP img and the latest LineageOS 20 klte build (linked above) on an SD card. Boot to recovery, update TWRP to the latest version (under install, tap "zip" to change it to "img"), reboot back to recovery, wipe the phone, then flash the LineageOS zip.

Alternatively, using Odin, you can flash the stock ROM to get to Android 6, then flash the latest TWRP, then reboot to TWRP, wipe phone, install LineageOS from SD card.

They're the two most obvious options that spring to mind.

This forum is for the discussion and support of the klte family of phones running Khalvat's LineageOS builds. I have no experience with that device, and this isn't the right place for that discussion. Maybe someone else here has experience with it and can give you a link to more appropriate forum?
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] qilo4:
Is anyone running LOS20 on klte able to use a PIN to lock the SIM card? If the SIM is locked with a PIN code, the SIM is not detected after installing LOS20. If I install LOS20 without PIN lock, the SIM is detected and works fine. If I reactivate the PIN lock on the SIM, this works fine until I reboot the phone, at which point the SIM is no longer detected. Am I the only one affected by this issue?
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] kurtn:
that's probably the best we can get. In old versions that rom destroyed pin locked sims.

[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] DarkSteve:
I literally gave you the link to TWRP 3.7.0_9-0 above. I think I'm done helping you.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] qilo4:
I guess it does also affect the LOS21 version then.

The LOS20 version works incredibly well on my old S5, much faster than the official LOS18.1 I had before. This SIM PIN issue is really the only "issue" with this build for me (aside of irregular security patches). I wonder whether some recovery allow for SIM PIN unlock. I'm not aware of TWRP allowing this at least. It would be great because then it would be possible to PIN lock the SIM yet still have a mean to unlock it when rebooting the phone (and relocking it once inside LOS20). Alternatively, is it not possible to PIN lock/unlock the SIM using a 3rd party app??
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] bluesfun:
Just a note to say thanks! I installed this version as well and it works flawlessy.

Just a question: battery saver seems to be unavailable. Is it normal?
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] DarkSteve:
No, it should be working. Are you trying to manually turn it on or are you talking about the auto-popup when the battery is low?

I've never tried to manually turn it on, but I always got the "Turn on Battery Saver?" pop-up when the battery hit 20% on both my kltedv and klte.

On my Galaxy Tab A (2019), running an unofficial LOS 18.1, Battery Saver doesn't pop-up until the battery hits 15%, but every LOS device I have has a working battery saver.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] bluesfun:
Very useful information, indeed, thank you DarkSteve. What happened to me is actually more curious: now, after the first reboot, it works. Better this way, I'd say ;-) thank you for your reply!
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] qilo4:
Hi,

Are you able to use device encryption on this ROM? In the settings/security menu, it says my device is not encrypted and tapping on device encryption does not do anything. I'm using a lock screen with pin. Any possibility to encrypt my phone with this ROM?

EDIT: found out on page 6 of this thread that encryption is not supported on this ROM, sorry
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] atomeromu:
Hey Ladz!

I was coming from Lineage 18.3 , did a fresh install etc. So far it works brilliantly and very stable but have one issue which I had on the 18.3 too and couldn`t figure it out why. So when I call someone and type the number in and hit a call button it shows "unknown". In call history also shows unknown. It happens even I call someone from my contacts list but not with everyone. It`s annoying because I don`t know who did I call back and whos I didn`t? Any thoughts? I use klte and recommended mindagapps. Tried to use google contacts app, and phone by google app too but the same thing happens.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] DickyG:
Finally got around to flashing this ROM and MindThe Gapps...been on 19 since forever. Big thanks to the developer(s)...no problems at all. One thing...the phone is getting low on resourses. Many years ago, before this phone, I used an app called Link2SD. You partitioned your memory card and the app put your apps onto the SD card and they still ran fast because the ROM was sorta tricked into thinking they were in internal memory (something like that). That app, for whatever reason, no longer works. Wonder if there is a good substitue out there.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] zfk110:
Hi, I'm using Magisk 27.0 with the Safetynet fix module, but I'm still failing the CTS profile on it. I didn't install anything else, just your ROM and apps. I don't know if someone knows how to pass the safetyNet Check in it.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] zfk110:
This is what I was told by " Your ROM is signed with testkey, the result is expected.

It's been discussed in this thread.

You either have to get your ROM author to sign and release signed ROM, or you have to build the ROM from source and sign it yourself, or go for another ROM that is already signed.

All the details are in this thread.

[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] faraj4:
Hello , thank you for the nice rom.

One problem is the ir blaster not working .
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] Peter12205:
It doesn't work on mine, not even on lineage os 18 for micro g, but I think it's normal, I don't know how to recover that function, I only know that the heart rate sensor works with a non-Samsung app that a person left from China
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] csowp:
Hallo,

I have a Samsung Galaxy S5 SM-900f / klte

There are no updates any more with the official lineageos. To bad. I was used to the 18.1 lineage.

Will the Unofficial LineageOS 20.0 Android 13 get monthly updates again?

Is https://sourceforge.net/projects/khalvat/files/Android 13/ the right link for the download?

Thank you
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] craP_cillA:
no, there will be no monthly updates. and yes, that's the correct link.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] csowp:
Hi crap_cillA,

thank your for answering !!!

My question:

so, my phone seems to bei „out“? Or ar there other customROMS which are „degoogled“ and staying update?

For example „divestos“ - I most preferre - doesn’t update eather anymore the samsung S5..

At the end:

Where can I figure out, for how long other phones will bei updated?

For example interesting: Oneplus A6003 ---- but how long will it be updated?

Thank you very much
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] craP_cillA:
just check out lineage21: https://xdaforums.com/t/unofficial-lineageos-21-0-android-14.4649772/

and i don't know how long a rom will be updated..just check the threads..
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] csowp:
Than you for help.

I'm fairly used to TWRP, Odin and flashing a customrom on the S5. But I'm no further expert, trying out special things and tuning my phone. The rom "has to run" for my daily work and phoning.

Best regards
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] qilo4:
DivestOS still provides monthly security updates/patches for version 18.1 which the Galaxy S5 supports. I run it on my klte device and it works great. I previously ran this Unofficial LineageOS20 for klte. It did also work well but I couldn't live with some of its limitations:

- SIM card could not be locked using PIN

- no encryption possible

- no security patches (latest version for Lineage20 is from April 2024, Lineage21 still in beta according to the forum)

- had some apps complaining about it (insecure ROM)

It was nice to try out Android 13 on that phone but those security limitations prevented me from using it as a daily driver. Although DivestOS will remain at 18.1 on the S5, you still get monthly security patches, encryption as well as SIM PIN lock do work, and with microG I had no issue with apps so far. Overall, I'm really happy with DivestOS and would recommend it to any S5 owner whishing to continue using their device.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] csowp:
As far as I know, divestos ended too at the same time, lineageos finished support and update for klte
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] kurtn:
Why does everybody say divestOS doesnt update. EOL doesn't mean stopped.

No
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] Peter12205:
that is a big lie, just because it no longer receives official support does not mean that other external developers like khalvat do not maintain it with their own compilations, the case with android 12, 13 and 14 that this great developer has made this possible, although official support has already ended.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] csowp:
Hallo,

if you say, it is a big lie. I always thought, DivestOS is a "One-Man-Show" and SkewedZeppelin is the one who manages this ROM mostly. But I am not so involved and close to the developers. Do you know anything about DivestOS and unofficial updates?
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] qilo4:
See this:

https://divestos.org/pages/patch_history

LineageOS is no longer updating 18.1 since March 2024 but DivestOS 18.1 still provides security updates (although incomplete).

The unofficial LineageOS 20 for klte from @khalvat is truely great and fast. However IMHO it cannot compete with DivestOS 18.1 in terms of security for a daily driver since it doesn't receive regular security updates and kernel patches, which DivestOS does.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] craP_cillA:
i now also updated (clean flash) my phone to lineageos 20 and i am really satisfied so far! :) it works like a charm...many thanks khalvat! (y)
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] Reynald0:
I would like to say that the fact that the smart cover thing is gone made me happy, cause sometime I had a weird visualization bug in that mode.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] curiousde2002:
Same here, great ROM !

Big thanks to Khalvat !

Still not working:

network traffic indication and mobile data counter don't show any usage, I guess it's the same cause.

BT tethering works but only for 2-3 seconds then need to reactivate the tethering in settings.

BT audio does not work as reported already.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] wuko:
No problems, only the recent button only

works just after reboot correct.

Any advice ?
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] jeremywh7:
Are you using klte or a different S5 variant?

@khalvat - I'm still getting stuck on the LOS boot animation, on a clean flash (w/ data format), no SIM. This started with the Aug LOS19 build, continuing thru the LOS20 builds; all clean flashes w/ various Gapps and noGapps tested. July LOS19 works fine. Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] Reynald0:
Have you tried to swipe the screen at boot?
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] craP_cillA:
i'm using the klte version.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] jeremywh7:
You're talking about the 'slow bootloader screen' issue that was fixed a month or two back. SIM lock was another issue from a few months ago, but I don't have a SIM installed. This issue is being stuck on the LOS animation forever (well, tested at least for an hour). Several others reported the same issue (only for klte), but why it's working for some klte (like for craP_cillA) and not others (esp when e.g. the July LOS19 works fine) is a mystery...

I'd seen mention to try flashing back to stock first, but I though that was for when nothing works?
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] khalvat:
Edit

befor all things flash stock 6.0.1 rom then back to custom rom again.

if your problam not solved you should send me last_kmsg file.

Flash rom and wait until it boot to logo then reboot to TWRP and mount system and copy last_kmsg file from proc/last_kmsg
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] DiamondJohn:
I tried a search, but what is the correct Modem & bootloader for this ROM? The reading I did see was for the stock 6.01 firmware, but I haven't been on stock for some time now, and have rebuilt5r myt computer, and my daily is not Samsung. so flashing stock would involve installing ODIN and Samsung drivers, which I would like to avoid.

Is there also a min TWRP version?
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] Reynald0:
On my klte I use this: https://androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=325193 from haggertk
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] DiamondJohn:
Sorry for not being clearer, but wrong device. Mine is a GT-i9606 LTE

And also, the incorrect modem bootloader could boot, but there will be issues. They need to match. And im a little too lazy (its not my daily) to check the device tree on GIThub.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] Reynald0:
I understand, but your device is a S4 from the name.

Anyway here you have reference to someone working on it: https://github.com/kyasu/android_ve...tree/lineage-18.1/proprietary/vendor/firmware

and here what you need: https://androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=43918

You might enable on-screen navbar via settings - system - buttons

then go to system - gestures - system navigation there you might choose between 2- or 3-button navigation or gesture navigation which I prefer.

Thanks for your work, its a great thing to modernize an old device like the Galaxy S5.

I tested too the rom and found a little mistake but im not sure whats the reason could be.

I tried to install google family link with mind the gapps, but when i try to install family linkt the device gets an error and wont do that.

With Android Version 12 it works.

Hi,

congratulations to khalvat for his job and to all of you for your participation and tries to keep this phone alive,

I have a klte and I run lineage 18.1-microG, so before try this rom I want to ask if it is signature spoofing?

Thank you.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] kurtn:
Yes. It's really fun to try android 13 on this old phone. I got signature spoofing with magisk and LSPosed and whew-inc 's fakegapps.

For a daily driver I would stay with 18.1 - especially now that lineageOS has prolonged support

[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] Huckleberry88:
Thank you very much for your great work, Khalvat! (y)

I have been test running LOS19 and also the early Oct. version of LOS20 without any issues during installation whatsoever.

However, I got similar issue as Jeremywh7 during install of the late Oct. version on my G9008v:

I have to admit I did not do a fresh install in the first place.

Now, none of the fresh installs is of any use …

Symptom: stuck in boot screen/animation (w/o SIM & w/o sdcard)

▫️stock ROM 4.x & stock ROM 6.x via Odin, both with same symptom

… tried multiple times to install and also wipe and factory reset

▫️TWRP (3.4, 3.6 & 3.7) via Odin is also stuck at boot screen

… cannot enter the menue to load any custom ROM

▫️swiping etc. during boot screen has no effect

▫️kept running in boot screen for over 1hr gets it rather warm

▫️battery works fine in another G9008v@LOS18

Cheers!

Edit (January 2023):

I got some free time yesterday evening so I tried to recover the phone.

As it might help others, this is what I did to successfully recover my kltechn:

Basically, just to reflash with stock ROM via Odin does not help (as mentioned above).

From the stock ROM extract from CSC***.tar.md5 the file *.pit with the correct partition data.

When flashing stock ROM with Odin also upload the PIT file and opt-in for re-partition.

Enjoy your recovered phone!

Me, now "enjoying" the rather slow download speed while trying to get the latest LOS20 img from sourceforge.net ... :sleep:

Cheers!

I want to add my appreciation to Khalvat! Thanks so much for still keeping our device alive and I am happy with the newest features and ROMs.

Switched from your perfect crDroid 8 to this and am really happy as the most important features for me of crDroid finally made it to LineageOS. The Galaxy S5 / klte with crDroid was navigation phone over the last months and it worked perfectly in the past.

Installed LineageOS yesterday and was very pleased with the initial setup, however bluetooth audio and GPS wasnt working for me. Bluetooth audio was known, but GPS worked just for some apps, but not for all. Even though I checked all settings.

Wanted to write here about the GPS issue, but saw the new release. Lol, one day later and I wouldn´t even have noticed bugs.

Confirming that BOTH issues have been fixed with the new release. I am so happy now. Thanks again.

FYI: Installed BitGaps 13 v1.7 because with MindTheGapps my Google App wasnt working correctly and also wasn´t able to install Google Maps.

My setup with your ROM is running very smooth at a first glance:

Hi, gentleman,

What the user "kurtn" means is that you can enable the option of restarting a running system into recovery mode through the settings. For that purpose, go to: "Settings --> System --> Buttons --> On/Off Menu --> Expanded Restart" and toggle the button. The next time you press the ON/OFF button of your phone, you will be presented a menu and under RESTART you will find three other options (system, recovery and download).

Have a lot of fun ...

You are a GENIUS, Sir KHALVAT. Muhammad Ali said once that he was the Greatest in boxing. I declare today that you are the GREATEST in building custom ROMs. Nobody else dared build a ROM for our beloved Samsung Galaxy S5 KLTE since Android 12 and you took the challenge to do it successfully until now.
