I had to use odin v.3.04.
The v.3.07 I used for all my Chainfire and team win fun didn't let me.

Someone got bored xD

My guess is that you can leave auto reboot checked and skip the battery pull.

Any improvements in this one? Is it worth flashing?

wait i'm confuse between this ,kies method, 138 MB tmobile OTA (i'm rooted so no go ) update and the 1.6GB firmware on sammobile . I'm running rooted ANJ7 baseband version so which path should i take to upgrade ? which of these do i get to keep my data and phone setting ?

If you flash the smaller file OP posted you will not lose your files. If you flash the full 1.6 GB version, it will essentially put your phone back to stock, wiping all your data in the process. Which is good if you want a clean start, but not so much if you only want to update your baseband and modem (and firmware). Personally, I flash the full 1.6 version for a clean start when an update is released, then restore my apps with Titanium backup. But it's up to you, honestly.

Flashed using Mobile Odin.

I was able to flash my baseband/modem from my extracted firmware, modem.bin using Odin v3.09,
and
ur bootloader also using Odin v3.09,
just wanted to let u know it worked just fine,
thanks for the bootloader file... saved me some time instead of doing the firmware... :good:

Very cool.
I may go ahead and flash the bootloader.
Hadn't yet cause on the tmobile s4 it was important to never update the bootloader.
Mine still doesn't have knox.
Running latest cm nightlies.
And using the nh7 modem.

And the op's trick is how you get the latest modem/baseband without letting them do things to your bootloader.

I always update my modem/baseband.
Samsung/tmobile are trying to make reception better with each release, and all.
I've also heard people say if it ain't broke don't fix it.
Knowing how to update your modem/baseband without updating your bootloader is a good skill either way.

hm i wonder if this is a display bug ?

Crash At startup

I have a weird problem with my S5 900f running Lollipop BTU. Rooted with chainfire. Issue is that after rooting when i restart my phone it sometimes says "android is updating and then everythig starts crashing....system is not responding etc etc" i have disabled sytem updates aswell . First i thought it was cuz of Twrp and i flashed stock recovery with flashify but still happened today.........it happens randomly while restarting my phone and then if it gets stuck i have to go to recovery and hit "clear cache and clear update from cache" to be able to boot.....i have also tried different firmwares any clue why this might be happening?

You have to flash stock firmware with odin but first you have to full wipe with twrp recovery end after flash firmware because your root is filed end after you may try to root again

New Update!!

The title on this thread is just a bit misleading... This in no way explains how to install, what kind of Z5 P device it is or anything... Hardly worth a whole new thread, either, when this is being discussed in the 'Marshmallow available now' thread...

Yes. But I need the one with Root so I think I better stay and wait on the older firmware. also, I need the exact firmware for my phone for better coverage.

I think I have latest firmware from :
1298-2969 Customized MAA 32.1.A.1.185-R7C

Same customization of mine but I'll wait for the one rootable.

Hi OP. Were you be able to update it?pls consider to check if the kernel is the same as stock version of firmware 163? if it is still the same, I think we can still use the current custom kernels

Kernel is the same.
Sent from my E6853 using Tapatalk

Does a diffrent firmware void your warranty? And if i do can i also turn back to my own cda when tmobile nl 6.0 has been released?

For E6853
The custom kernels work, but it's registered at the older firmware version, making the system update pop up even though you have it installed. I customized the stock kernel for the latest update with the help from @tobias.waldvogel tool from:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z5/development/root-automatic-repack-stock-kernel-dm-t3301605
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
It has DRM restore injected, latest TWRP 3.0.1 and support for root. The rest is stock.
I would recommend flashing the latest firmware with Flashtool without wiping any data and flash the kernel afterwards in fastboot
Fastboot flash boot kernel.img

Make sure to navigate to the correct directory you have it downloaded so it can detect the IMG.
No need for installing recovery as it already has this. From recovery just flash the latest SuperSU and you have root.

Help rooting!

Heya, In a previous forum thread I said that I had soft-bricked my phone due to a failed rooting attempt. I had help fixing the soft brick, but now I want to try at rooting again. I'm using a Samsung Galaxy S5 Verizon Android Marshmallow 6.0.1 (g900vvru2dpf4) and I am having trouble figuring out to root. Please help!

First of all make a backup with Samsung smart switch or whatever way you prefer and backup all other important data to your computer
Downgrade to pb1 or ok3 firmware flash in Odin in pda /as slot in odin
download firmware from sammobile. Com
then got to JrKruse ok3 root method here

I have a problem, when I try to use Samsung Smart Switch, my phone reboots in a weird way. I mean, I use the fingerprint locker, so when I start to back up my data, the phone reboots in a second and I have to use my password to unlock it, thus stopping the process of back up. What is going on ?

Try Samsung kies 3

G900F Root Problem

Hello guys! I've followed the simple root tutorial found on XDA and i've managed to root my S5 with no problem (i don't have any knowledge about this stuff cause i am a newbie,sorry...). After that ,i've successfully flashed TWRP Recovery and tried several ROM's but every one of them failed (bootloop on RR, corrupted zip on Note 7 ROM etc),anyway,it was late and the next day i needed my phone so i installed the Official Stock S5 ROM (6.0.1) found on XDA also (flashed with Odin). The problem is, i can't root it anymore. When i try to do the exact same thing i did with auto-root and Odin everything works except SuperSU ("There is no SU binary installed and SuperSU cannot install it"). I've tried everything! And when i say everything , i mean it. Even KingRoot, wipping everything, trying to root again, the advices found on this thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3/help/su-binary-installed-supersu-install-t1928764 and nothing works..if anyone can point me some directions , give some advices, i would be very happy! Thank you guys! I'm willing to try anything.
