Hi all, I can't really figure out from all the releases posted here how to find a rom which can be installed on my phone, while I'm waiting for an unclock for CID11.
I've a 900V CD11 locked with BT1 rom sim-locked and SD-not working and now I can't use my phone at all. I'm in stuck at all.
I've rooted it already, waiting for a proper rom.
I tried some roms but I always failed, the last one "G900V_PF4_Stock_Deodexed_Debloated_ROM" which is made for locked phone, was failed to upload from chainfire.flash_0.50 in the middle of flashing.. it reboots phone and it become bricked
You may kindly indicate me the steps I've to follow to install the right rom, if I've to use safestrap or chainfire.flash_0.50.apk, and if I've to flash with Odin the bootloader and with which file.
Thank you so much, please add any consideration that you can consider important!
with the G900V, you dont want to try to unlock the bootloader or itll hard brick. You have to use safestrap
---------- Post added at 12:56 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:54 PM ----------
if you go to sammobile.com, you can get the stock image to flash in odin to unbrick if its just softbricked. You may want to check the G900V forums to make sure that you dont flash a version that doesnt have root available for it, as vzw has locked the device down like fort knox. Im at work currently, but can look further into this for you after 6pm cst
I tried to unlock and it didn't hard brick.
I can use safestrap but to upload what? I can't unlock it (it's CID11), and I can't find a ROM valid for this phone! (the one I used (suggested on the root phone procedure) is SIM-locked and with SD not working).
I hope someone can suggest me a rom which will work on my phone. Thank you
also, i dont know what you mean by "toshiba-locked bootloader"
Wow you're in the wrong area... Go here and scroll down to prepare your phone for root
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=64744405
Actually read everything and make sure you understand it before doing it because if you tried to unlock your bootloader when you have the wrong emmc (11 instead of 15) you either didn't read or or didn't understand the thread good luck and you should stick with the vzw specific threads with the 11 good luck and happy flashing

thank u for help! Are u addicted to that forum? I would really appreciate if u give me some help finding an uploadable version. I'm looking for a 6.0.1 with sim unlocked, root if possible and SD working. If there isn't exist one a LL could be good too, my phone is sim-locked now and isn't reading SD, so I can't use it.
Yes I rooted it, I can use safestrap and chainfire flash application (superSU installed). Thank you so much!
I've found the ROM, now I'm on 6.0.1 but without SD usage, looking for a fix..
Does it happen anyone that after BP1 flashing the SD card is not more available? Have you ever lost SD card with wrong ROM?
I don't know if it is electric problem or software
When you tried to unlock your bootloader it wiped it so you will need to reformat it for it to work again... If you would have read the thread you would know this?
So, does it not boot at all now?
Tes it works good, the only problem is that it can't read SD.
Yes I formatted it FAT32 already and other pone and PC works with it without problems.
When it was ROM G900FXXU1BOC7 it worked, after update to PB1 it didn't, is that possible that ROM prevent see SD?
Thank you
i believe @bad bone is correct, it sounds like the problem is the bootloader. You may have to flash a pit file in Odin to correct this. im basically bowing out on this because where your problem is may also lie a den of dragons. Im just hoping that a bump in this thread will get the attention of someone more familiar with this variant of the device. Also, locked bootloaders are the bane of Samsung using existence

I have the same device as you, I am on stock Android 5.0 rooted (CID 11), what ROM are you using for 6.0.1? Is your device still rooted? Can you point me to a helpful tutorial?
Rooted s5 MOAR rom
I have a Verizon s5, rooted it with a method on here by jrkruse I believe, flashed the stock debloated rom, have safestrap and su and busy box installed, then flashed MOAR rom for 5.0, I have CID 11, running pb1.

I have been fan and user of this website and its forums for several years now and up to this time have always been very diligent about searching for the answers to my questions in the forums. I have always been impressed that i never had a question that had not been answered until today.. I found nothing on XDA nor the rest of the internet so here is my quere.. I Accidentally flashed my verizon galaxy s5 to SM-G900A when i went to the OA8 build. The funny thing is that it appears to have worked for the most part. It started up pre-loaded with all the at&t bloatware installed and everything! My phone now says SAMSUNG SM-G900A under model name and number..It gives G900VVRU1BOA8 as the baseband version and KTU84P.G900AUCU2AOA1 as the build number..It appears that I am on Lollipop, however, it says I have android version 4.4.4. All of that considered, my question is regarding taking the OC4 update through Flashfire. It clearly states that using it on any other variant could result in a hardbrick..Do you think it will hard brick my phone?
First of all what is flash fire? Second I would not take that chance.... But have you thought about restoring your phone through odin?
On a developers standpoint you'll have to do more than that hardbricking your phone. Or should I say the only ways to hardbrick your s5 is
1. Destroy some of its hardware
2. Rewrite/delete some of it's irreplaceable data.
And flashing different ROMs doesn't result to 1 of the 2 and you'll either just get a softbrick, buggy ROM or a working device.
There are only 3 versions of s5 in general
1. The snapdragon version
2. Exynos version
3. Sprint version
And subversions which are
1. 16GB model
2. 32GB model
cross flashing the exynos version to snapdragon and the other way around would surely lead to soft brick as the processor drivers, GPU drivers etc differ.
cross flashing between 16gb and 32gb variant would probably end up softbrick or buggy device since partition tables are different.
cross flashing sprint version and regular version would probably get your the same working device and probably get a FM radio enabled.
cross flashing different model numbers would end up having a working device since there's literally no difference in the hardware. As long as you crossflash the bootloader, modem etc then it should be fine. But if you're cross flashing the system partition only then that's something different.

Almost forgot! THere's also the dual sim variants
I don't know if @Riyal gave you the info you need... but if not you better get odin and flash back to a Verizon rom
I didn't answer his question though... Just explaining in detail what happened/will happen when he/she cross flashed firmwares. I don't know what flashfire is so I couldn't answer his question. But as you said... flashing OC4 update thru odin is the surefire way to go.
@austocracy you read that get a copy of odin 3.09 and a copy of your s5 verizon firmware sammobile and have at it. The cure is within reach.... make sure you find some instructions first
Flash fire is basically mobile Odin and something else I can't remember I'll find the link for you I heard there's basically no need for Odin anymore because of it

Ok thank you very much i thing i found the "solution"
Sorry for dumb question... Is this non-destructive root?
Hi all, I need to recover some photos and I have to root in order to dump the file system... I am not so very familiar with rooting of Android phones, therefore I am asking if the rooting method described above will erase the user partition (applications, accounts, media etc). The phone is a G531FxxU1AOI4 with 5.1.1... It has original bootloader and rom... does rooting on this device require unlocking bootloader (therefore wiping data)? I`ve searched allover the android forums, especially xda, but it seems there`s something I am missing.. noone states for clear what happens.
Thanks!
This is just a safe upgrade to the latest CQA1 firmware for the SM-N910V. If you are already on 6.0 with an unlocked bootloader you can flash this to update. It will not lock your bootloader or overwrite your custom recovery. I slightly debloated it but other than that it's completely stock and still odexed.
INSTRUCTIONS
- Boot to recovery and do a complete wipe (everything except your internal and external sd card)
- Power off device and pull battery for at least 3 seconds
- Boot into Download mode and connect phone to your computer
-Start Odin and place the tar file in the AP slot
-Once Odin says it's ready just press start and let it do it's thing
CQA1 FIRMWARE DOWNLOAD
If you would like to run stock you can download and flash SuperSu for root and also Busybox by Osmosis
Thanks will try later!
Thanks, I'll give it a look over.

No buddy there isn't. The issues you'll have will vary when trying to upgrade the firmware without updating the bootloader. Mostly wifi related and brightness issues. All of the safe upgrades remove the aboot so it wouldn't update your bootloader.

OK, I am on BPA1. Lollipop - Marshmallow combo. Bootloader unlocked, root, etc. Running the 05/24/2016 Hsbadr CM 13.1 build. Can, I flash this and keep the unlocked bootloader or do I have to go through the whole downgrade to the BPA1 firmware, re-root and all that jazz? I just can't believe there is not an easier way to get to Marshmallow-Marshmallow since the bootloader is unlocked.

Yes . doesn't contain aboot :victory: but the bootloader didn't change it isn't necessary or particularly useful unless you wanted to builds a touchwiz based ROM and wanted to use the most recent base .

And no lol if you took the safe upgrade from 5.1.1 to 6.0.1 (via the lollipop ROM on marshmallow toolchain) you are currently on an up to date bootloader it is unneccesarry to repeat the unlock procedure and no this doesn't lock your bootloader . it isn't rooted however you would need to flash that but it is a one and done via twrp . kingroot wasn't needed.
successfully unlocked on 910V but want to know
Can I flash 910F stock firmware via odin on my unlocked verizon 910V note 4. I want to convert it to GSM phone. Should I need to install custom recovery or permanent root before for this. Or is it possible and safe to convert without loosing sim connectivity. Please help.
Hello everyone! Been quite a while since I've been on here. I have been on the Kyubi ROM since the BL unlock was achieved on our Note4. IMO, it has been a pretty stellar ROM. Been using it ever since. Now, I have decided to upgrade the device.
I want to upgrade to at least a 6.0 ROM and I am on 5.1.1 BL version is BPA1, PDA version is BOK3 and Baseband Version is BPA1 as well, rooted and BL is unlocked.
My question is can I do this "CQA1 Firmware *safe upgrade* SM-N910V" in the OP without any problems?
Thanks in advance for any and all help with this...

No, unfortunately there currently isn't an easier process than the one that is outlined in this thread. I had some different intentions with this firmware when I was putting it together and some personal stuff came up so I just posted it as is but you'll need to update your bootloader or you'll have wifi issues with the 6.0 roms.
It's my understanding, though I haven't tested it personally, that's not the case for the 7.0 aosp roms. From what I've read there's been people running those on the bpa1 bootloader.

So can you tell me if this is where I would start first, since I am on Baseband version BPA1 with root and Unlocked BL i copied the following below from the instructions from the link you provided.
"Extract and flash N910VVRU2BPA1_N910VVRU2CPD1_FullFirmware.tar.md5 via Odin
This will make you on Lollipop with Marshmallow bootchain/firmware/modem, which is rootable."
Sorry for the noob like questions. I've just been away too long and I really don't want to screw this up lol. I do appreciate all your help though.

No problem. Yes if you're already unlocked on bpa1 then just go ahead and Odin the firmware you mentioned (N910VVRU2BPA1_N910VVRU2CPD1_FullFirmware.tar.md5). Once you get that booted up then it's just a matter of repeating the same process as before with the LP bootloader. Keep in mind that you won't have wifi when you flash that firmware so you may want to have a copy of kingroot on your internal sdcard ready to go. Then I usually reference this post here on out. There's a couple threads on this subject but I feel like they have some unnecessary steps involved whereas that post really cuts to the meat of it in my opinion.
@kevintm78 Thanks so much. In your opinion, is there really any difference between LP and MM? I really do appreciate your help.
Hi,
My gf's phone stopped loading yesterday (stuck at the SAMSUNG logo), so I've tried to factory-reset it via recovery menu. Unfortunately, this didn't help, so I've decided that I need to re-flash the system. After some search I found https://www.kingoapp.com/root-tutorials/how-to-flash-samsung-stock-rom-via-odin.htm and tried to follow it. After checking the sticker behind the battery, I've learned that the model is SM-G900F. Unfortunately I wasn't sure what ROM was installed on the phone before and couldn't find any Ukrainian ROM, which is where the phone was bought originally. In the end, I decided to try installing latest ROM for Germany O2, since this is the operator that my gf uses now.
Unfortunately, Odin refused installing that image with an error "FAIL! (Auth)". After some further searching, I've noticed that when the phone is in download mode, it shows model name SM-G900V. I have no idea why and the ROM that was there before was clearly non-Verizon. Still, having no other option, I've downloaded Verizon ROM and it installed successfully. Luckily the phone has booted, but as expected, it wouldn't connect to any other network than Verizon, which is kinda useless to me given that we live in Germany and use O2. Now I wonder if it's possible to somehow root the phone, install custom recovery and flash that German O2 ROM?
The device is running Android 6.0.1 and kernel 3.4.0. How do I root it? How do I install custom recovery? Which one would you recommend?
Thanks,
Sergiy

Seems, you can read russian.
You may like to follow this my guide to flash SM-G900V with an international 6.0.1 ROM.
I think, you can even use VIA (O2) CSC.
P.S. Please, pay attention to:
1. The first boot after factory reset may take 12-15 min (but not more than 20), so be patient. This was the problem, I guess.
2. Read the QA section in my guide to find the answers to your questions about root and custom recovery. And feel free to ask questions (here or there).

I have an AT&T Galaxy G950u with my most recent firmware being g950usqs7dtb1.

The main error I'm receiving in Odin is FAIL! (Auth).
I've tried all kinds of ROMs but I can't find my original ROM anywhere except some shady site that definitely isn't legit.
When I boot into Download/Odin mode the numbers next to RP SWREV are B7(2.1.1.1.1) k6 S7
The error on my phone is SW Rev Check fail: (ab)) Fused 7 > Binary 1
I realized I probably need a carrier free (XAA) or ATT firmware that is binary 7. The problem is it's so recent I can't find any binary 7 firmwares out there. I've searched Updato and couldn't find xaa firmware for binary 7

Well first off you can't flash any custom ROMs on this device it has a locked bootloader. Oem unlock doesn't matter. It's useless. Garbage. That's all for that. Flash any other carrier firmware and flash the oyn csc not home. It will repersonalize for att as the firmware are actually multi carrier. Att included.

To @uberdad search for anything s8 SM-G950 by jrkruse and elliwigy here and you should have a solution if your device is still on 7. Wont be twrp but will be safestrap twrp. You can install a custom rom then.

To @uberdad search for anything s8 SM-G950 by jrkruse and elliwigy here and you should have a solution if your device is still on 7. Wont be twrp but will be safestrap twrp. You can install a custom rom then.

There are no custom roms. You can only have root on a 7.0 stock system img. Please research more before beginning to pass on information. As well this thread is now old no need to dig up old stuff. I helped out with some of the stuff on this device I know what it can and cannot do. Here wanted to install a los based rom. which is a big no. Add I said to begin with

Then he was trying to flash twrp. Which is a big no. Please don't go dragging up a bunch of old threads we have dealt with. This leads to confusing people

Hi. Yes you are right I should have said Slightly Cooked Rom or Modified System Image. However preferred to put Custom Rom due to the fact the amount of new Customization Enthusiasts here on XDA to make it simpler. Also sure yes USER Root on XDA only obtained on 7.0 (at least public). Little off topic but our team has a *working* root along with our own SuperUser which means for repairs pretty much but if time was put into it could become possibly a semi to full user root. I have used Magisk SU older versions along with our root and had a semi working user root on past Galaxies.. Anyhow we don't really have time, especially myself, to work on an actual user root for every device i/we work on.
In the world of forums threads never really grow old they just go into a deep sleep eventually....Until someone wakes it up with the thirst for knowledge. It's how the internet works when it comes to these here BBS/Forums/Blogs etc. =]
What he asked could be something someone else might ask or attempt trying (he shouldnt have even got as far as he did unless on international variant which makes the Q odd.. haha eh? however i felt the need to straighten it up for anyone who might read and get confused. See what im saying..? along with the previous statement about data no become stale.
The more ya know the smarter you become. Information makes the world go around. .. IMO Always best to keep it flowing constantly added to.
