First of all this is my very first post on the community, i dont usually post here but since i have been on here since the times of the motorola droid 2 i might as well post this thing that i did to help me sort the problem with the data on the galaxy s5
Things that i used:
TWRP Recovery installed via TWRP Manager from playstore
Galaxy s5 4.4.2 already rooted via kingoroot ( You can use any other method that you prefer)
Shohat ROM V5 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2719386 (All credits go directly to Shohat for this amazing rom)
Build prop editor (You can get it from playstore)
cm-11-20140919-UNOFFICIAL-klte (This is available for download at androidhost here http://d-h.st/niU , all credits go to Albinoman887 for uploading that file and to cyanogen for making that build)
SSU.APK http://forum.xda-developers.com/spr...print-samsung-unlocker-unlock-sprint-t2928250 (All credits go to aalyatim for making this wonderful app)
Patience
Lets begin
First off all you got to root the phone , i used kingoroot as its one of the fastest and easiest method to root your device , it even gives you on screen steps for doing the rooting process
Next once the device has been successfully rooted we are going to go on ahead and download TWRP Manager from playstore, install it and install the recovery on your phone ( If you already have it or if you have a diferent method to install it theres not a problem)
Next once the recovery has been installed we are going to unlock the phone by using SSU.apk and just installing the app and running it (If you have already unlocked the phone there is no need to install the unlock again)
Next once the phone has been successfully unlocked we are going to be doing the next step, download build prop editor from playstore , give root priviliges to it , go to the edit option ( Small pencil located at the bottom right of the screen ) and scroll down all the way to the bottom, once here type in the following:
ril.sales_code=LOL
ro.csc.sales_code=LOL
Once you have that in , we are going to save it by going to the top right and clicking the floppy disk and waiting for it to save build prop
Next step will be turning off device and entering recovery mode ( You can google how to access recovery mode ) , once inside recovery we are going to be doing the following , since im using TWRP i went to WIPE, then FACTORY RESET , after that i went to ADVANCED WIPE , and checked dalvik cache , system, data, cache i got an error on trying to write something but thats normal
Next step was installing the cm-11-20140919-UNOFFICIAL-klte that you previously downloaded on the steps below , install gapps if you want but it wont be necessary , once thats install and the phone boots you will be able to see the H+, 3g or the connection that you have on your area based on your gsm provider
Now in case you want to stop here and stay with cyanogen you can do it , but if you want to have the stock fresh look of S5 TouchWiz then we are going to do next steps
Once thats done we are going to be accessing recovery once more , once inside we are going to be doing the exact same process that we did before i went to WIPE, then FACTORY RESET , after that i went to ADVANCED WIPE , and checked dalvik cache , system, data, cache i got an error on trying to write something but thats normal
Next we will be installing the rom Shohat ROM V5 once it begins, it takes a while for it to finish , do not restart your device until its done even if it appears its not doing anything , once install reboot the device , you will wait a moment for it to load, once loaded you will be getting the samsung galaxy welcome screen , complete all of the steps to finish the setup and youre done , if you dont see the H+ sign or the signal , just check that your apn are there and were done
I Have tried with AT&T and with a foreign carrier in mexico and it worked great
I have attached pictures with proof , i took it with my camera so it doesn look edited or anything , i hope this helps you out as it helped me

Are you saying the phone picked up signal with an AT&T SIM here in the US...?
As far as I know, this doesn't work on the G900P for domestic use. It probably worked for the OP because he's in Mexico (or I've just molested my G900P so much it's not picking up any GSM networks).

I figured it was a super long shot, just asking him to clarify. I'm subscribed to every thread on Sprint Samsung unlocking, and from your posts (and others'), it's clearly deeper than ROM level. A guy can dream though ^__^

I hope the OP sees this.
Did you have problems with the "Unable to establish a wireless data connection LTE: ESM-29 EMM-X" with correct APN before and this fixed it? Thanks for posting
Your Solution Worked!!!
Thank you so much.
I can confirm that this WORKS!!!
I was heart broken after I unlocked the phone and could not get data on Digicel Dominica (in the Caribbean) even with the correct APN settings. I googled for some time until I found your post. After reading the comments on this post, I did not have much hope but as they say "nothing beats a try" and so I followed your instructions and VOILA...
Thanks again Bro...:good:

I got on it. Restored the efs data partitions And performed the note 3 domestic unlock steps and dest's (sorry buddy, I only remember your original username!) international unlock app. I then modified the build.prop as much as I could to the Verizon build (G900V). I can see T Mobile and AT&T networks when searching with a valid T Mobile SIM in, but cant connect obviously. The invalid SIM notification would have to be legitimately removed before one could even consider registering onto the network. I...just want to take a peek at nv item 10124

Yeah I remember seeing 10124 mentioned. It'll be interesting to see what form DSU takes. It's obviously still an OTA process instead of a code but I'm curious as to how different it is from the current international method

Its just another IPC command called over RIL I bet. If you followed the ORIGINAL author of the international unlock's post he drops the hint on what IPC command was called. I was able to decompile his app, change the IPC command and relock the phone, confirming that the phone is indeed locked using this method instead of directly accessing the nv items over the QC diag port. We are able to log the international unlock process if you know how to set the debugging levels high enough. With a domestic unlock on the horizon via OTA, it shouldn't be long before the domestic unlock back is public.

I dropped to NE (4.4.2) to get it to work. It has everything I want expect wifi calling. I have the same question if there a 4.4.4 touchwiz rom (or 4.4.2 with wifi calling) that works with this.
Thanks OP!

Unlock your Samsung Galaxy Express AT&T i437P FREE!!
This is for who have 4.1.2 firmware ONLY and can´t unlock using unlock code.
Took me a long time, but now a have my i437P unlocked.
Just follow the steps.
root your phone follow this
Don´t install CM10.1 or CM10.2 now. You are going to do this later.
Create a backup.
Wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache partition and dalvik cache (found in advanced)
download 4.0.4 firmware from sammobile.com SGH-I437 USA (AT&T) 4.0.4
This firmware is for the model i437, not for i437P, but works.
You goin to lose Wifi and Bluetooth but don´t worry.
Use Odim and put 4.0.4 firmware. You goin to lose root, but no problem.
Don´t use any sim card for now.
Lets unlock the phone using this code:
Just dial the following keys *#197328640#
Main Menu
[1] UMTS
[1] Debug Screen
[8] Phone Control
[6] Network Lock
[3]Perso SHA256 OFF
(after choosing this option, wait about 30 seconds, then go back one step by pressing the Menu button then select Back, now you are in
[6] Network Lock then choose
[4] NW Lock NV Data INITIALLIZ ..... wait for a minute then reboot your phone
put your sim card and your phone is unlocked.
Now lets go back to 4.1.2
repeat the steps to root your phone.
Restore the backup made by clockworkmod.
Follow the steps "You will likely run into issues with non functional WiFi. To resolve this, after flashing the ROM, follow these simple steps:" in this
Than install CM10.2 that works FINE!!!
Thanks jt1134 for CM10.2 and AwesomeTurtle that help me.
Sorry for my bad english.
It's really a shame that ATT got samsung to remove this trick in jelly bean. Such a hassle to flash twice for something which should be as simple as a phone unlock. Not that I'm surprised that they pulled this, but it's still annoying.

can you find the 4.0.4 firmware so i can downgrade to unlock my device
Interested in locating that 4.0.4 firmware myself (I437UCALI6_I437ATTALI6_ATT.zip) as SamMobile's site no longer has it, and a cursory search online provided absolutely no viable sources - last one was Hotfile and they're long gone now.
Surely someone has that archive stashed someplace... right?
Right?
Now lets go back to 4.1.2

how to you go back to 4.1.2 after you put the 4.0.4?
same way with odin?
Problems...
Ok. I did everything you guys said, except i had to find a new 4.0.4 download, cause the one provided here was gone already.
Found a 4.0.4 download, flashed it to my I437P through odin, it works, i unlocked it, works perfectly BUT, now when i try to write the CWM backup to my sdcard (saved it on my computer, instead on phone) it just reboots the device and doesnt let me copy anything, says its write protected or some ****.
Anyway, i need to put the backup back into the CWM folder, but cant!
Should i root it again?

Hi I have a SGH-I437P unlocked by imei. It Works OK except it does not get CDMA (only EDGE).
Android 4.1.2 BASE BAND I437PUCBMG3, KERNEL 3.0.31-1304283.
I have another SGH-I437P 4.1.2 Android 4.1.2 BASE BAND I437PUCAME2, KERNEL 3.0.31-1184741 that Works perfect with 3G (HSPA)
Can you help so I can get CDMA or 3G (HSPA) with the Android 4.1.2 BASE BAND I437PUCBMG3, KERNEL 3.0.31-1304283.
Thanks
The Galaxy Express isn't a CDMA telephone, it's a GSM device - it can operate on WCDMA which is an offshoot of CDMA but they're not the same exactly technology. You can't use the Galaxy Express with a CDMA-only provider like Sprint, Boost, Verizon, Cricket, etc or some other CMDA-based carrier around the world.
Gotta be a GSM carrier (with WCDMA support, if needed, for HSPA/HSPA+). Use PhoneInfo (an app) to get to the service menu and set it for WCDMA Preferred if needed since the 4.1.2 update took out the *#*#4636#*#* code to do it - that code works with 4.0.4 however but you're on 4.1.2.
HSPA not working

I tried PhoneInfo (roys program) but it didn´t work on the cellphone, the phone info from vndnguyen has no way of changing the baseband.
I tried also with the 4636v2 with no result.
If I use the *#2263# command it enters in baseband menú but when I choose wcdma I miss the Internet connection.
Do you have something to suggest, so I can have HSPA connection? I have another SGH-I437p that recognizes HSPA with no problema.

download is in the picture!!!1
Yah, I finally did locate it, thanks. In fact, I got a second Galaxy Express in early May, an I437P model (the GoPhone model), and it crapped out on me a week later so I registered it to me since the previous owner hadn't done it (which started the 1-year warranty period), made a service request, sent it to them, and they replaced the mobo and the frame (which had some nicks in the finish); the one they sent back is an I437, not an I437P so, although it shouldn't make any difference(s) overall I now have an I437, I suppose.
Anyway, I found the ROM in early May, I can stash it on Mega if anyone needs it, not sure if I have the 4.1.2 update file around anymore.
Now I have been stuggling with this for a while now. I have been able to dowgrade to 4.0.4 and unlock the phone but now I don't know how to go back to 4.2.1. I tried to settle and said if I just fixed the wifi and bluetooth that I'll let it be at that but that is not the case. I have rooted it, put supersu on it, installed clockword mod, but I can't seem to get to the boot screen to install the fixes. I've been trying to find a 4.2.1 firmware that I can flash threw odin but I have been unsuccessful. I really need help finding this firmware so I can go one more step forward, at least. Trying to reboot in recovery from clockwork doesn't work, and same with doing it manually from power down. I really need help!
Nevermind! I didn't realize that if I wiped everything, including the jailbreak and then flashed it with the 4.0.4 that it would let me go to boot recovery. I also didn't know that the 4.2.1 had do be in a zip in the SD card. Hopefully me adding this will help anyone that may encounter this problemQ

Hi,
i bought an unlocked galaxy S5 SM-G900S (SK telecom), 32 Gb..
It's a wonderful phone but it seems that it is half locked:
cannot update OTA if no korean sim card is in the phone.
my phone always thinks that it's roaming.. i always have 2 clocks (home and local).
in the call settings, there is no call forward or divert.
no way to make a 3 way call (conference call) as the "merge" button isn't there. I can only swap calls.
i can live with everything mentioned above except the conference call lacking; it is very very important to my work.
i tried to flash the international firmware G900F but it kept failing; when i flashed the G900S firmware it went very smoothly.
my question:
anyone else with this problem? any developer has any idea about what should be done.
what bothers me i may need to sell the only 32gb version available (as far as i know) just for one setting.
Appreciate any reply or help;
Regards,
Ditto
I don't have a solution. I share the same concern as mentioned by you. Wondering if you found a solution!!?

(2) Ensure that you have the ROM on an external sd card and that you have put that inside your device
(3) Install the clockwork recovery via Odin 3.7 version
(4) Power down after above step
(5) Press the Volume UP + HOME + Power button to start in the recovery mode
(6) Wipe the data clean
(7) Install the ROM from the SD card - this will be interactive and self explanatory ( choose the 900L model )

After flashing the ROM everything comes back to normal. I had a Vodafone connection(this is showing up and not the HTMPL or some weird connection) and everything is working fine including the 3G and Roaming. The roaming problem was occurring only with the Korean firmware. After applying the ROM, your model will show as 900L and not 900S. The L model basically works like any normal phone in India.
Faced only two problems so far :
(1) Kies does not sync. So ensure that you have an application like Superbackup for your contacts and what-not.
(2) The OK-google now talk functionality on the home screen goes away. You can get this back by installing the google launcher, but I like the touchwiz UI a bit better, so decided to do away with it.
Rest everything is good and the speed has also increased.
PS - Considering you are getting a 30 % discount on the korean phone based on the indian price(I took it a month back at 22 % Dis.), its totally worth it. You might spend a day cracking the phone, but then 30% savings is more than enough to make up for it.
Hai Bunty, Just one question.
After installing L rom, have you tried installing any other L roms or KLTE roms like Slim Rom or AOKP or Carbon rom
I'm getting my S model phone next week and never wanted to end up having only few roms.
Sorry one more,
Has the conference and call forward or divert issue sorted after installing custom rom

check pm
I have the same phone , and I ask this because I don't know so much about this **** : If I change the ROM , i can reach the download mode and service mode in english ? because right now is in koreean , and btw i can go in download mode . If you have time, aamir2day , please send me a PM with the step that I must do to resolve this problem . Thank you in advance !
Hi,
You should be able to access everything even before changing the ROM. I only changed the ROM as I wanted the conference call facility. If you are fine without that I would suggest to just change the language in the first screen of the boot up and then use the standard ROM that Samsung provides. You will be getting kies updates everytime samsung makes the new ROM available.

Please post here ALL of what you learned/thoughts/ideas. My goal is to get the Sprint based phone "G900P.04" Virgin Mobile users up and going.
I am not responsible for ANYTHING!!! Try doodling with your phone at your own risk!
THIS IS WHAT I GOT SO FAR:
APN SETTINGS:
Virgin Mobile Samsung Galaxy s5 as all the capabilities of flashing any Sprint based G900P.04 ROM/Tweak. However, once flashed, you will have Sprint based network APN settings/not virgin mobile network APN settings. APN settings is what allows you to call/text/LTE/send receive text/pictures. Currently the Virgin Mobile stock ROM doesn't have the option to manually set APN settings though settings/network connections/more networks. However, once flashed to a Sprint ROM, this option "should" now be available to edit. If ballzy enough to try flashing a Sprint ROM and obtain data capability PLEASE POST YOUR FINDINGS. Virgin Moible APN settings can be found at this address:
Virgin Mobile USA APN Settings
I called Virgin Mobile and told them that my send recieve text doesn't work and ask if i can access APN settings manually to check if there correct. He gave no option to view them manually. He advised to dial ##72786# which he said redoes the hands free activation process and "?may?" fix the APN issue.
Apps like the APN backup & restore is another option "if exhausting all other available options" a thread I found HERE It appears that if you know what your doing, the app will work but nevertheless, people has reported it not restoring APN settings.
ROOTING Virgin Mobile Galaxy s5 Obtain warranty without tripping knox counter:
The CF autoroot though odin I seen threads that it trips the knox counter but the "towelroot" method doesnt trip the knox counter and was easy for me.
How to:
1. Go to settings/system/security/allow 3rd party apps. As long as you know what you download I disabled "verify apps" while I'm their.
2. With your phone, Download towelroot HERE and click the red logo to start download
3. Download a file explore application from Google Play "my favorite is FX File Explorer/has secondary Playstore download for accessing root files" and install the tr-1 .apk you downloaded.
4. Read and click the option to root phone.
5. When it says remove knox I clicked "yes."
6. As mine did also, a lot of users report that the phone didn't complete/auto reset device but hung on the "removing knox process." Personally I waited 5min---pressed the home button---manually reset phone.
7. Go to Play store and download/install SuperSU---update binary's---reset phone
8.Your phone is rooted/complete.
Return to Factory Stock
Reflash the phone with the factory stock ROM with Odin can see instructions HERE
Note: Virgin Mobile users only has the option of the Sprint ROM so im curious if this will bork up APN settings...putting them on Sprint/not Virgin Mobile settings. The hand free activation by dialing ##72786# may/may not work.
Custom Recovery:
All Sprint based recoveries I'm positive will work. Custom Recovery opens up any theme/tweak/ROM capability. However, im reluctant to do so because you will not have the ability to update the OS when it arrives because it requires the stock recovery....where you have to do the Return to Factory Stock option just posted.
I've always used Philz Touch Recovery and was always happy with it. Insturctions HERE
There is a TWRP recovery but even people on the TWRP thread say that they hear good things about Philz Recovery.
Installing a ROM:
As mentioned, only Sprint Based ROMs work because it's a Sprint phone. However, if flashing a Sprint ROM through your custom recovery it should error. This is because the developer Puts a script in the ROM that only allows Sprint not Virgin mobile phones to flash the ROM. To fix this, it requires editing the ROM with NotePad++ and deleting the first few lines of code. Good thread to read how to do this is HERE
Apps/Tweaks:
Im still using stock ROM up until somebody with experience can guarantee I can start flashing ROMs without any mishapps.
..Adaway is working great.
Link HERE Couldn't beileve the amount of ad's is on the Internet...even on XDA. Just open/install with a file explorer like FX File Explorer...make sure under settings/security you check "Unknown sources" so you can install apps outside of play store
Wanam Xposed is amazing
Verified working on my Virgin Mobile Stock ROM. Install Wanam from Playstore and install frame work from HERE Now got my phone all theme'd blacked-out like how I like it. 4-way boot menu working too. NOTE: Wanam website states S-Health conflicts with it...so recommend uninstalling it.
Native Hotspot Enabled:
Install this App HERE GalaxyTools.apk. Click Enable Native Hotspot and reboot phone. "Mine rebooted automatically once enabled." Now I access my Hotspot using a playstore hotspot widget "my perfered is called Elixir 2 from the playstore. " on my home screen.
Debloat Stock ROM:
App Master is small and can go to system files and debloat all dumb apps Samsung/Virgin Mobile put on there. A thread HERE shows what Apps are safe to remove.
PLEASE POST ALL YOUR FINDINGS/THOUGHTS/IDEAS
Rather than restoring a Virgin Mobile phone to a Sprint stock firmware we can use these firmwares instead
G900PVPU1ANE5 STOCK VIRGIN MOBILE
G900PVPU1ANK4 STOCK VIRGIN MOBILE
G900PVPU1BOA6 STOCK VIRGIN MOBILE
G900PVPU2BOD3 STOCK VIRGIN MOBILE
G900PVPU3BOF6 STOCK VIRGIN MOBILE
G900PVPU3BOG1 STOCK VIRGIN MOBILE
Notice the Product Code is VMU, which is for VIRGIN MOBILE!
I'll try to keep this post updated with Virgin Mobile Firmwares in case more are added, for convenience and reference
Here is where I got them from
FIRMWARES | SAMMOBILE | VMU
VM's stock ROMs are on sammobile.
Working are CF auto-root, and Philz recovery (via ODIN).
The latest Sprint NK4 ROM (4.4.4) can be ODIN flashed on top of the VM stuff, and everything keeps working as VM. (Towelroot does not work on 4.4.4.)
I don't believe the VM APN settings posted above are accurate for this phone. But if you do the above (CF auto-root, Philz, Sprint ROM), you should be able to get to them on your own phone.
Presumably there will be a stock VM 4.4.4 ROM released soon regardless.
I don't know that there's a need to do much VM-specific stuff separate from what's done for Sprint.
I've been having two flashable zips that I use when switching to a new AOSP based rom (like CM, PAC, whatever), so rather than doing it manually, for you lazy folk like me, you can boot into Recovery, after having checked that you properly flashed your ROM, and flash these VMU APNs. This is for KK ROMs only! If you flash the file named AOSP_MMS_FIX.zip on lollipop you will get a Bootloop.
I got them a while ago so I forgot where or who made them, if you are reading this however, let me know so that I can give cred
By the way, does anybody know how to get MMS working on lollipop? With lollipop roms I can flash the file Universal_vmu_ApnFix-v.R2.zip to get texting and calls working but it doesnt fix picture messages.
EDIT: The Universal_vmuApnFix-v.R2.zip DOES work on AOSP lollipop roms. Just do not flash the other file.
The Sprint Lollipop 5.0 OA6 stock tar posted at the following does also appear to work for VM. Somehow it does know it's on a VM phone -- VM boot logo and everything:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=58662929&postcount=1
No problems with the latest CF Auto-root in that thread. Philz 6.57.8 appears to still work after renewed flashing, too.

Correct. And though APN settings are no longer accessible via "More networks," an S-Finder search for "Access Point Names" still turns up the settings. Confirmed to be VM. Everything's hunky dory automatically. :good:
For what it's worth, I backed everything up via Kies in advance. After all apps re-downloaded from the Play store, a Kies restore did get back most if not all of my settings. It just can't restore apps themselves to the new build.

Whats Knox like on this phone coming from the s3, if i trip knox once while rooting, how does that affect me when I want to flash a custom rom?
i just got my virgin mobile galaxy s5. i have yet to root and want to understand this fully before i do what i would like to do as ive had experience with bricked devices and dont want a repeat of the feeling. i want a to make a list of what i think i should do and i would love it if i could get corrections on anything thats wron with my process. i and on the sm-g900p model for VM. baseband: g900pvpuboa6 and android version 5.0 lollipop.
1. (while in download mode) connect s5 to computer
2. open odin 3.9 or 3.7
3. select pda/ap and place CF Auto Root into the slot and let it run until the bar turn bluor green or whatever color means that its good to go.
4. apply a custom recovery (i personaly like PhilZ touch recovery)(i am not sure exactly how to do this. on my s3 i was able to apply the recovery via the stock recovery but i dont know if that is possible with knox and all)
5. go into custom recovery on phone and apply the latest version of supersu
6. in custom recovery apply and deknoxify and debloat zips
7. boot up phone and update supersu and run a root checker
8. do whatever with your new rooted s5
i would love it if someone could tell me if this is a tested method or if i am missing something or doing something wrong. any help would be much appreciated as i really dont want anything to go wrong. i also would love it if someone had a link to philz touch recovery that is properly compatible with my version of s5 (sm-g900p VM)
It's not critical, but the latest ODIN is 3.10.6:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2711451
PhilZ is at the following. You can flash the latest 6.57.8 tar.md5 the same way in ODIN. Remember he's no longer developing or supporting this, but it works for now.
https://goo.im/devs/philz_touch/CWM_Advanced_Edition/klte/
You do not need to flash SuperSU via a custom recovery if you don't want to. You can add/update it just fine via the Play store.
You do not need to apply the de-knoxify and debloat zips if you don't want to. If you want, there are other file manager programs out there that you can also use to "freeze" Knox (if it makes you feel better for some reason), and to debloat manually yourself.
If you mess up badly, you can use ODIN to flash the full restore TAR from the following (extract it first). Though it's in a "Sprint" folder there, it recognizes it's on the VM variant of the Sprint phone just fine.

thank you. the philz recovery i was using was too outdated and caused me some problems. and cf auto didnt seem to want to work. however the recovery you gave the link to worked flawlessly and allowed me to flash the supersu update and gain root.
my next question is weather or not it is safe to flash a sprint stock android L rom and keep my calling, text and mms, and 4g data seeing as i am on VM and not sprint (i do know they are the same phone internally but coming from a VM s3 i needed to flash a APN fix everytime i flashed a new rom to keep things working)

I read somwhere that this may be the case this time around aswell, dont know 100% though
The Sprint stock ROM recognizes it's on a VM phone just fine. What's been issued is identical. On a VM phone, it sets up everything for VM -- boot animation, APN settings, everything. There is no need to flash an APN fix or alter any settings to adapt it to VM. That's why when people have tried to start Virgin Mobile threads here, there's been little to no response. There's virtually no need to do anything unique to VM when it comes to the S5. What works for the contract Sprint, works for the pay-as-you-go Sprint, aka VM.
I have not tested non-Stock ROMS, and don't know what you may run into if you start experimenting with custom Sprint ROMs on the VM phone.
If you want to alter your APN settings (though there should be no need on the stock ROM), you can search "Access Point Names" in S-Finder in the drop down menu once the ROM is installed.

thats more so what i meant. ive realized through a little research that using a sprint rom on my vm in fine. i believe this is so because unlike most other VM phones (such as my previous Galaxy S3 VM) the Galaxy S5 uses a VM sim card. something that i found unusual but suspect is the reason for never haveing to change anything ( please coeect me if you know im wrong on this information because right now im working with this as a hypothesis). however i dont know what will happen when i install CM12, which is something i want to try out. my VM S5 doesnt have a Data Toggle in the notification tray which annoys me to no extent. i cant seem to find a way to fix this nor can i find in the stock lollipop rom that the phone comes with. ive always loved stock lollipop and ran CM12 on my S3 but the community for it on Android Forums was huge as still is, so finding how to change the APNs on the VM locked S3 was easy. this isnt the case with the S5 neither there nor here at XDA. i either want to fix my data toggle on my stock rom so i can keep my fingerprint scanner (which for me works more times than not) or switch to CM12. i dont know which is the better option as far as keeping everything working.

Have you tried MOAR v6.0
hello everyone
i am quit sure about 99999% that my gt-i9505 has a spy monitoring software and i want to know the steps to follow to get rid of it.
i think one night when i blacked out ( too much alcohol) , they installed it on my phone , when i woke up i found the phone with the sim blocked ( needed the puk to unlock it again) . and since then ,they are monitoring my line video calls and audio calls because some details of my conversations with my mom are revealed by some unknown folks that live nearby.
yesterday i flashed with odin the new uk lollipop official rom for the black edition but it seems that they can still monitor me .
is there any definitive guide to follow to get rid of any spying software.
i would really appreciate any help:laugh:
Hello,
Since you flashed stock ROM (this basically wipes all the internal data such as operating system, contacts, messages, photos, videos, music, installed apps...everything) if before you had a monitoring software inside now there isn't anymore

maybe they are good at hacking and have put the spy monitoring thing on your sim card lol. but i'm sure everything got wiped since you flashed the latest official version.
If after u do update via odin and not full wipe. The software MAY not gone. Say the app is installed as user app. Then it now still active

A normal procedure trough Odin never does that. It never wipes anything. Maybe with .pit and repartition (not sure).
Won't antivirus software detect it as a spyware?

Hi mate ,
Do a factory reset and as @ Lennyz said adding PIT to the equation will wipe everything....if you have a custom recovery you could format system , format data...and format internal SD then you also could flash a custom or stock rom afterwards....

You're right mate, I forgot I always use Repartition when reflashing (habit! :good: )
In my opinion, he should definitely try to repartition or at least make a wipe data/factory reset from recovery
Inviato dal mio GT-I9505
thank you for your help
you are suggesting that i reflash the stock lollipop 5.0.1 using odin v 3.09 for example ,and check the repartition ? even if i have only mds file? this could brick my s4?
if i want to use a pit file where can i get it? i have the snapdragon version of the gt-i9505(i only flashed it once with lollipop 5.01 of the black edition from uk) the official rom i used is the one availale in sammobile
nota: after flashing the lollipop rom y wiped data and cache . but even so they are tracking me
ok guys here is a very strange thing that i came across
i did flash the pit ,ap ...... lollipop 5.0.1 but when i power on the phone without the sim card , guess what??!!!! i dont get the no sim card icon and i get full network signal on the phone
really really strange , i those bad guys did a hardware manipulation or something like that.
anyone can help?

yes ,everything is working fine but even if i dont have the sim card , the phone doesnt show the icon of no sim is inserted , i think i wil get the phone to the authorities and see if they can find out if they cloned my sim card or modified the sim card tray or even they put some trojan into the phone , i am sure that when i power on the phone , they know it because i can hear them saying that , i think they cloned my sim or at least did some kind of manipulation

3. To Enter the recovery menu, turn off your phone completely. PRESS and HOLD the POWER button + Volume UP + HOME button at the same time . When DOCOMO is displayed leave the power button and still keep holding the other buttons.
4. In recovery, use volume buttons to navigate and Power to select. Now go to wipe data/factory reset and wipe data, then wipe cache partition , then go to advanced and wipe Dalvic cache.
5. When all is done go to install zip and install the cm-12.1-2015xxxx-UNOFFICIAL-sc03e.zip first.
6. When done install the GAPPS package.
NOTE: IF YOU HAVE CWM 6.0.4.7 THE GAPPS PACKAGE WONT INSTALL.
7. Now go back and wipe data , cache partition and Dalvic cache again then reboot. Upon exiting CWM you will be asked to fix your root binaries... say yes!
8. Your phone will boot into Android L with a Cyanogen boot animation.
9. Set up you phone and make sure to update all your Google apps and viola! :good:
NOTE: You will have to enable root in developer options.. enable it by tapping build number several times

whats new about 5.1? can i flash the cm12.1 over 12.0?
bug report:
The folder displays nothing.
I put 2 icons on the screen together to create a folder. When I open the folder, There's nothing.
When I move the folder to another place. The icons in ther folder are visible once. When I opened twice, the icons are still invisible.
Thanks for your great job! That's really unbelievable that I can use the newest lollipop on my old sc03e. Everything seems to work perfectly except the sound when make a call. I know my listening is not good enough, but the effect of call is not as good as the original system. Could you please make some more efforts to improve this?
Many thanks!
My device will lost the data access of mobile network(GSM edge), especially after the device sleep for a time.
The apn is set and the switch is on, but it's disconnected.
It occurs since cm-12-20150328-UNOFFICIAL-sc03e.zip, cm-12-20150320-UNOFFICIAL-sc03e.zip is ok.

@ma34S could you build a sc03e 4.4.4 kernel for sc03e to use 4.4.4 i9305 touchwiz based rom?
Sometimes, camera is not working..
Camera is not available or not working at some time, is it a bug? in order for camera to work again i need to restart my phone.. can you fix it plz..
anyway, it's a good custom ROM for SC-03E..
great job! but i think that team ub's 5.1.1 rom is the best
