Root S5 Active European SM-G870F - Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

HI All
I think I am one of the first with the european s5 active model (SM-G870F). I just cant root it with towelroot and there is no CF-Root for it.
Can anyone suggest options.

Thanks, I have bought the G870F today. I'm able to root after changing the kernel to G870A_NE4.
Where did you found the kernel ANJ4 for the G870F ?
For the moment I flash the G870A_NG3 after the root.

I'd like to have a link to the kernel, too.
Like the Active, but having Screen-on with home-button as well as no access to my ext_sdcard is a no-go
got some:
http://www.speadge.de/boot.zip
can i flash the img directly without .tar.md5 wrap?
Edit: found the tool:

I am currently not at home to try it. Hope it helps.

Thanks all,
So this is the operations that i followed :

1. Take the NG3 OTA update.
2. Download and install Towelroot-v3.apk(this version does not require internet access).
3. Place your phone into "Download Mode" (press and hold the Home, Volume Down, and Power keys until the phone powers on and displays warning screen, then press Volume Up key).
4. Flash the G870A_NE4_Stock_Kernel using Odin's PDA slot(AP in Odin v3.09+).
5. Root using Towelroot.
6. Power off then boot into "Download Mode" again.

Now, my SM-G870F is rooted, with the good kernel. No latence and no problem with the camera
Edit : Add the kernel to attached file
Edit2 : Edit the steps
Edit3 : Add G870A NE4 kernel

You are welcome.
As this seems to work im gonna upload the kernel in md5 format this evening to a puplic share.
@ Joe: did you find a way to deactivate the home button from device wake? Editing all .kl files, even the gpio-keys.kl didnt help....

I uploaded the kernel on my post. Do you have the same version (3.4.0-2982071 : Oct 13) or a newer one ?

Have the same. Seems to be the first Firmware for Europe at all.
Can u rename your upload so ppl can See that this is the nj4 kernel? Otherwise 'kernel' can be misunderstood.
Edit: found the solution for the home key now by using the xposed framework. Have no link Here, but u can find it in the forum Here. Just remap the home button for 'screen off' to 'nothing'.

Hi,
i have a SM-G870F too and i want to root it too, but as i'm affraid to flash to much and to make a mistake, i just want to know if it's possible to flash just the kernel you've attached to root the S5A ? (with odin) and if it is, in which case do i have to put it ? (PDA, Bootloader, CSC, phone ?)
Thank you and sorry for my English and my ineptitude :/

Where r u from? could help you in native german
Its really easy. Just check in device information wich Firmware you got.
If it ends on nj4, download the nj4 kernel submitted earlier, if ng3, download the ng3 kernel like mentioned in the original thread.
Additional, download the ne4 kernel.
Now flash ne4 in the AP section of Odin (See original thread)
Then Boot device, Use towelroot to root it
Go to download mode again and flash your stock kernel (nj4 or ng3)
Sorry for mentioning (original thread, but im in mobile and cant Copy all sources in this posting)
Hope it helps. Its a doing of 10-15 minutes... Dont be afraid

No sorry i'm french and i don't speak a word of german ^^
I have an ANJ4
And sorry of abbused your time, but in odin where do i put the file ?

I dont know Evers Version of Odin, but in 3.09 its the AP section in the right handed side. Second line. Check the original manual which is linker in the first post. There are Screenshots. or just get Version 3.09
In 3.07 its the PDA section. I think thats what you got.
But seriously: i used 3.09 - and oft course there should be no difference - but you are Vetter With this Version from my point of view as i know these are no problems with it.
Please give feedback on how it went...

yes i have the 3.07, and yes i'm going to dowload the 3.09
So just a last time to be sure (sorry :s)
I download the "SM-G870F-NJ4-kernel.zip" attached above and odin 3.09
I start my phone in download mode and i connect it to my computer
in AP section i put the file "boot.tar.md5" and i check only "auto reboot" and "reset time"
and i flash it, that all ?
sorry for asking again but better is to ask before than to ask after ^^

No, thats wrong.
The nj4 kernel download is just for the 'aftermath'.
You have to root your phone first.
To do so you have to download & flash the ne4 kernel first, cause its the only one towelroot recognizes.
After you flashed the NE4 kernel, you Boot to Android and use the Program towelroot (can be found in playstore).
Use it, press 'let it rain' inside the program and reboot again.
NOW its time to 'repair' the kernel by flashing the nj4 kernel the same way as you flashed ng3 in the beginning.
Finish.
3 easy steps:
Download & flash ne4
Install & use towelroot
Download & flash nj4.
Done

Oh thank you, i know i'm despairing, i'm waiting just the time that NG3 download, i flash the all and i feedback
If it's works, you're a god to me !
---------- Post added at 06:01 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:24 PM ----------
i've flashed the NG3 kernel, but towelroot said that my phone is'nt supported ...
i've tried to reflash and then same thing "This phone isn't currently supported"

My mistake, you need the ne4 kernel, not ng3.
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23622183712466973
Have you even read the manual?

no problem, just time to download it
In fact yes, but i've decided to trust you
thank you, you're very nice and helpful !

Well, trusting s.o. is Nice, but for doing this from memory, cause browsing 3 threads in mobile sucks, its likely to do mistakes.

[GUIDE] How to use Odin for GT-I9070

Odin is the saviour tool for all Samsung devices. The method for flashing by Odin differs from device to device.
This thread will give step by step instructions on how to flash a stock rom from Odin on the GT-I9070/p :
A. Download Odin tools from here : http://d-h.st/3zJ
Pass : shaaan
B. Download the stock rom from www.samfirmware.com
Setting up Odin :
1. Make sure you have installed the necessary drivers for this device. The drivers can be installed from within KIES or seperately. (I will upload the drivers shortly).
2. Run Odin as administrator.
3. Setting up the files is divided in two types depending on the firmware type :
a. If the firmware is a multi package file, put the files in the corresponding sections.
ie. CSC file in CSC section, PDA file in PDA section.
b. If the firmware is a single package, add the single file in the PDA section.
4. Now that Odin is setup, put the phone in download mode. To do that, power off the phone and press 'home+power+volume down' buttons together. Keep the buttons pressed till Download mide appears.
5. Now that Odin and the phone are setup, connect the phone to the device. Odin will detect the device and show something like 'com port (1)'
6. Flash the device.
7. The flash will take 5 minutes for a full flash on average.
8. When the flashing is complete, DO NOT remove the device until Odin shows ' PASS '.
9. The device will reboot. Remove the device, go to recovery mode and do a factory/data reset.
That's it. Happy flashing peeps..!!
Awesome guide mate - messing around with our device without Odin is risky !
This should be sticky. A lot of people is asking how to revert to original FW, or similiar questions that is connected to reverting. And it is almost at the end of forum, and thay cant see it.
I pmed the mods to do it. But they won't budge..
Please pm them..
Nice guide!!!
And adding images would be a nice option.
And plz add a point which tells which buttons to press like
"Re-Partition" ,"Auto Reboot","F.Reset Time" ,"Flash Lock"......

Very good guide,good work !
It may be better if you add some images

From what I was able to find in other guides it is ONLY 'Auto Reboot' and 'F. Reset Time' to be checked.
All others to be unchecked.
There are some posts not to bother with that .pit file that is inside Odin .zip file.
Odin package from sammobile got 2 .pit files for 8GB - GT-I9070_EUR_XX_8G and GT-I9070_EUR_XX_8G_20111220_KL6 and one for 16GB
(at least paired with XEO region XXLD1) not only that one we got in link form 1st post.
I was also able to find some info that if you use .pit check also 'Re-Partition'.
Now I am curious about if It would be good idea for me to actually Re-Partition my phone - bought it used (not new) and my PC detects only 4GB of internal SD. Will it increase custom binary counter? (so far it is at 0 and I would rather keep it that way)
Is it going to fix that issue so I will be able to use all 8GB (minus system partition)?
If so how to use it and what .pit file to take?
.pit only, re-partition only and run it once, then single-package as PDA with reboot and F. Reset on another flash run?
Or maybe all at once?
BTW you guys ROCK.
Rooted SGS i9000 2 years ago with this forum and now I am very close to do it again with SGSA.

It is normal to have 4GB on internall SD. The rest of it goes to system partition, application partition and RAM I think...

googled a bit more and found it out too :crying:
BTW - both of those 8GB .pit files are identical (according to 'comp' tool in windows) so there is no reason to use re-partition - other than sth went totally wrong and you are trying to recover from brick or sth serious as this .pit file is already on your device.
Just flashed unbranded stock for XEO region - original one was branded.
NOTE to anyone who is still thinking about safety of this method:
After initial reboot - when it was reconfiguring in recovery mode - or however you will call it (just before odin should say 'pass' - still in that little font screen) windows started to reinstall usb drivers - odin log in bottom corner said 'disconnected' and even then my newly flashed ROM is working as it should. I would rather keep it connected till Odin confirms all went as intended but in case of similar issue - do not get heart attack
odin is used for flashing stock roms only???

nope it can also be used to flash custom Roms and kernels though flashing custom kernels via odin will increase your bin counter !
Hello guys...
How are you? I´m new on the i9070 threads!!! I´ve had others phones before, like SG2, xperia sola, live with walkman... so, i need the password to descompress odin... i search on thread but i don´t found it...
SORRY I found the password... shaaan
Of what I understand, can I test an unlimited number of stock firmware and the binary counter remain 0?
If I flash an unbranded firmware can I use SIM cards from other providers?
Now my phone is branded and I can not use SIM cards from other providers.
Thanks.

[GUIDE] [OFFICIAL ROM] [GT-N5100] 4.4.2 Kitkat Update!

Hello everyone, Im new here and this is my first thread. Please forgive me if I make mistakes. And sorry, I got no screenshots.
Did you ever wish you had Android KitKat on your GT-N5100? Well wish no more! The Official Update has already been released to Korea and Poland! It shouldn't take long for it to reach to other countries.
But if you are impatient, you can flash it now via Odin! ☺
Notes:
Make sure you have at least 80%
Make sure you have a back up
Make sure you remove ALL signs of root (e.g. Xposed,Busybox etc.)
Make sure all the apps in your External SD is moved to your Internal Storage. (To avoid force closing problems)
Make sure you have USB Debugging Enabled in Settings>Developer Options>USB Debugging
BEFORE THE PROCEDURE MAKE SURE YOU MAKE A BACK UP BECAUSE THIS CAN SOFT BRICK YOUR DEVICE.I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANYTHING YOU DO WITH YOUR PHONE/TABLET/PHABLET
LETS BEGIN!!!
Download the Firmware from the Post below
After that unzip it and you will see 2 files, just put your attention to the tar.md5 files
Install Odin3 (Links below)
Now you need to install Samsung Kies. (Link also Below)
After installing kies go to the Odin3 Folder, Right click on it and hit "Run as Administrator"
Now that your done with the PC's Part. Put your attention on your tablet and shutdown/Power Off
After that press Volume Down and Home for a few seconds until you get into a screen with a Warning, just press Volume Up to continue.
And after that connect your phone to your PC via USB and Odin should automatically detect it.
An ID:COM[Number] will show in a box on the upper right and then click on PDA and go to the directory of where you put the unziped firmware folder you downloaded from SamMobile. Select the tar.md5 file.
After that make sure you dont have re-partition checked. Double check if you need to and hit "START"
PLEASE DONT REMOVE YOUR PHONE UNTIL YOU SEE A "PASS" MESSAGE IN THE BOX.
After that it should reboot and you now have Android 4.4.2 Kitkat on your GT-N5100!
Good Luck!
Incase you get in a Boot Loop
Press Volume Up and Power button to get into Recovery and perform a Factory Reset (Data wipe) then Wipe Cache Partition and Reboot.
Enjoy!

I would not flash official 4.4.2 kitkat with odin, over kies or over ota. You will get kitkat bootloader with knox, no write permissions for your apps to sd card, no working rooting method which would not trigger knox and void your warranty.
The rooting method he linked does not work for Exynos 4412 devices. Read the comments to the original geohots post in s5 forum or at least the towelroot thread in this section.

Yeah it doesn't work, use CF-Auto-Root. Works perfectly,but you will see SuperSU Force closing or in some cases, it is not installed to fix this, install/update SuperSU
If and onlyif it doesn't work, try again.

Sorry for the newbie question but how can I efficiently and completely backup my device? Any apps/software I can use? I know that I can just make a copy of all my photos, videos, etc to my laptop but how about my apps and its data? Will they be deleted after flashing this firmware?
I've got a problem here .
My simcard doesn't work .
It keep saying emergency calls only

efs problematic after flashing firmware N5100
HI, its my first post on xda and new to this world so i will try to be reasonable here.
i followed the steps mentioned in this thread except one, i.e. i didnt make a backup. Now my n5100 wont move beyond initial samsung logo and the recovery mode says "cannot mount / efs"
i also found a thread which makes some excellent points (see below), but i would still like to know if any of you tried this and had a similar problem. if so, did you find a DIY method

Hi ,
I think you have latest build now (4.4.4) , yes ? If yes , you must to try to flash via Odin older firmware http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/download/34971/T537VVRU1ANE2_T537VVZW1ANE2_VZW/ from any source . Before flashing you must to do factory reset . Then to try Towelroot . Perhaps you must to try like here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=58501194&postcount=245 . Then freeze or delete update service . If all will be fail , flash your last firmware again (for return back) .
Remember , you lost data when do factory reset .
You not afraid nothing .

you flash archive from https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95916177934538217 ?
That's the archive I'm using. I don't think I'm using Odin right.

So , good guide . Follow him . Unfortunately install this firmware does not work.
You dont try flash only older kernel like PDA via Odin ?
I also tried to flash using odin 3.07 and the PDA option but it fails.
Thanks again for all the help

And why exactly shouldn't they try that? That's exactly what they're doing here I even contacted the moderator to verify that. Plus I used that method to re-root after I had to Odin back to complete factory stock. I don't see what the problem is flashing just an older kernel, rooting using towelroot, and then flashing the most current kernel. That's exactly how my tablet is rooted and was on the most current firmware (OA2) before I flashed Cyanogenmod

[Q] Confused about my specific device

Heya guys,
I've read through so many websites and forum posts but always when I think I have found the right thing for me, the model number, baseband version and/or build number varies...
All I want to do is root my phone. If there's a safe way to do this without tripping that KNOX whatever, that would be great but not even the most important to me.
And if it is possible I would also like to get Android 4.4.4 installed. Strangely, my phone says it is up to date (4.4.2) but I'm seeing people having 4.4.4 on theirs...
If there's something like a pack to get both, the update and the root, that would be mint!
Either way, I would be very thankful if someone could point me to a place where my exact device could get its appropriate files.
Model number: GT-I9301I
Baseband version: I9301IXXUANF2
Build number: KOT49H.I9301IXCUANJ4
you have the gt-i9301i so latest version for your device is 4.4.2 , but 4.4.4 is available for dual sim variant gt-i9300i you can root it i'll post the link below and navigate through the android devloppement section and find a rom that suits you then install it
link for root : http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...overy-t-r-p-samsung-galaxy-s3-neo-gt-t2906840
Heya, thanks for the answer!
Ah, so there's also a dual sim variant. Mean that only they get the 4.4.4 update
So, on that link you gave me... do I need that stuff in the first post or is it enough for me to load and process the stuff in the second post (under 2nd Method I guess?)?
you choose which method you want to use then you're good to go
Yeah, but lets say I choose that "2nd Method ( Odin method )" - do I ALSO need that stuff from the first post (TWRP) or is that not needed then?
no just from 2nd post (odin mode)

Wuaaah, when I go into download mode, it says "Product Name: GT-i9300i"
Now which one is right? O_O
Also, are you sure the second post stuff is all I need? It looks like all I'm getting there is a new recovery, it doesn't say anything about root...?

look dude download recovery.tar and the 2 zips supersu and knox removal then put them in your phone then put recovery.tar on odin then got to download mode on your phone then plug it to your computer then click start after it's done boot in recovery (lock key + home key + volume up key ) then flash the two zips and you're done mate

So I do need the two zips from the first post, you didn't say that before
I'm still confused, though, about the download mode telling me my device is a GT-i9300i. Is that just a bug or something?

Alright, thanks! I'll try this then... I hope there won't be any brickage O_O
Yay, everything worked as it should.
Since I applied the KNOX removal, is it also necessary to use TriangleAway?

No . I personally rooted my device with cf auto root. After I launched the SuperSU it removed KNOX
Hm, I think you misunderstood my question. KNOX seems to be removed already.
But there's still that other thing with the yellow triangle (years ago, one needed 'Triangle Away' to remove it), right? Or has Samsung given up on that when they introduced KNOX?

[GUIDE] Download and install MM on SM-T715

Hi guys, i'm here to share with you the Android Marshmallow 6.0.1 firmware for the SM-T715 (wifi and LTE version). It's an italian version of the firmware but it should work with other regions too. Here's the link for the download:
Link: http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/download/70887/T715XXU2BPD6_T715OXA2BPD6_ITV/
Courtesy of Sammobile.
And here's a guide (written by miguimercadob, all credits goes to him) that you can follow also for our tablet.
1->Turn off your tab and boot it into the Download Mode. To do this, turn off your device and then press and hold Volume Down + Home + Power buttons simultaneously for 2-3 seconds. When you see the warning screen with a yellow triangle sign, press the Volume Up/Down key to enter Download/Odin mode.
2->Download the required Odin.zip file and extract the file on your PC. You will get the Odin3_v3.10.7.exe file. Open it as the administrator to get to the Odin window.
3->Connect your Galaxy device to the computer using the USB cable.
4->When you connect the device, the ID: COM port on Odin will turn Blue. You’ll also see“Added!!” message to indicate successful connection. If Odin des not detect your tab, try to reinstall drivers, try another usb cable and another usb port.
5-> Check "AP" box and click on AP. A window will pop up, just go to the folder where you extracted the firmware and select T715XXU2BPD6_T715OXA2BPD6_ITV.tar.md5 file (name may vary according to device model)
6->Now Odin is checking MD5 and will freeze for a minute or so, but don't worry, just let Odin work.
7->Click on the "Options" section and make sure that only the Auto Reboot and F. Reset Time boxes are checked. (Do not, in any case, check Re-Partition box).
8->Now, click the Start button on Odin to begin firmware installation.
10->Once you get a PASS! message on Odin, your device will restart. It’s the green signal that indicates a successful installation.
11->Once our device restarts, you can disconect it.
12-> Enjoy Marshmallow on our Tab s2 (First boot will last for some minutes, just be patient! )
That's all! Hope that everyone can update

Hi! Would it work in T715y?

Root works with no issues. Just regular odin twrp and flash supersu.
Need to find how to enable theme engine/store and mm will be perfect

it should at least work on the T715,

Hi, Giuskiller, thanks for giving credits to me. Just one thing to say, people is asking for root, so it would be a good idea to add a link to my post so people can follow twrp and root instructions.
Ok to i stall this on uk 715?
Try flashing this CF autoroot via odin. Got mine here: https://autoroot.chainfire.eu/ with MD5 67eb614992217b1e188689ce116f2fb1
MM for SM T715 updates?
I currently have ee uk Android 5. So far only wifi tabs are officially rolling out MM. If I install this Italian version, and switch the language will I get any updates?

No this wont trip knox as you're just updating (at least my one is safe). And yes, my t-715 is LTE version, so no problems at all.
