So, I have an i337 thats unlocked and using T-Mobile. I am trying to use ISIS on my phone but the AT&T version states "This item isn't available on your carrier." when I try to download it, and the T-Mobile version states "Your device isn't compatible with this version.". I tried the root method yesterday and it was saying something about how my Secure Element ID couldn't be loaded (somewhere along those lines). I DO have an ISIS sim as of yesterday. If anyone knows any workarounds for preferably the rooted method and if not the stock TouchWiz method PLEASE, help me out. I have TWRP with the Jamal v6 ROM on the second partition. I'll hold off on re-rooting it until I can make some progress on research. Haven't found anything so far on XDA or Google.
Thanks!!
Why not just use Google Wallet?

I want to test it out. Seems pretty cool.
Let me start by saying I have FoxFi and I know it works fine, but I want just the Hotspot toggle to work.
I have my Note 3 rooted and the HotSpot toggle added, but I get the Verizon "no subscription" message every time I turn it on. Can you use a SQL editor and modify something to get around that error? I noticed in the global database within settings.db that tether_run_required = 0 already... I thought that was the thing to change, but it's already 0.
Any thoughts?

I'm not sure what the edit is but if you ask in one of the ROM threads someone will surely know. You could always install a ROM other than stock that has the Hotspot bypass enabled.
This is what I'm using with the toggle.

Ok so xposed does have a module for that... Does it work on 4.3? Notice that thread mentioned 4.4 mainly.

Just want to say thanks for the "X tether" xposed module suggestion. It did exactly what I wanted on 4.3 too. Now I just tap the Hotspot toggle and it works . No more using Foxfi app directly.

I just rooted my galaxy S5 on AT&T network ( model SM-G900A ) with version 3 of Geohotz Hack. I also changed the one file mentioned in this tutorial for AT&T users. What do I need to do to get ISIS to work and if ISIS doesnt work, will no other NFC prgram work on a rooted galaxy S5 on AT&T?
P.S. I have been a Iphone jailbreaker for years and and root on android is new for me. Id like to install the latest version of kitkat I can with out loosing root. Can soe one send me the update and tell me how or point me to a tutorial ( preferably on youtube ) to update kitkat with out loosing root.
Thank you very much

There is a Xposed module (Root Cloak i think) and various apps in Google Play to hide root.

Hi all, just came to the S5. My carrier (in my case, Bluegrass Cellular) is a carrier partnered with Verizon's LRA Rural LTE program.
More info can be found here. http://www.verizonwireless.com/news/2012/05/4g-lte-goes-live-in-rural-america.html
https://opennetwork.verizonwireless...s-modules/devices/SMG900R6_GalaxyS5_2808.html
This thread is intended to help others with this variant of the S5.
I thought I would take the lead in helping the small community with this phone looking to root and run custom roms as we did in the S4 thread in the Verizon S4 Help/QA Thread.
* our other thread for the S4, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2453312 *
We get our LTE phones from Verizon, and they are close-nearly clone variants of their original Verizon version. For example, for the Galaxy S4 I just moved from, SCH-545 (VZW) VS SCH-I545L (LRA) which even had an identical partition table. This s5 variant is in many ways equal to the Verizon dev edition. Also further evidence to support a mostly Verizon clone these phones share the same fcc id, a3l-smg900v
Status: What I've tried so far.
Root: Geohot's Towelroot worked successfully.
RECOVERY: UNLOCKED BOOTLOADER! use twrp or cwm whatever you please.
Kernel: I use ktoonsez kernel. Works perfectly. Highly recommended, this guy's work is amazing.
Custom ROM: installed and working! VZW custom roms work. If you guys want to try Verizon roms, just edit build prop to lra info, you can find it thread.. Just remember to restore apn aswell and it works perfectly. You can use kitkat TW roms like Alliance rom, OptimalROM, extreme syndicate etc.. some aosp roms work with (patch not needed) some roms have unexplained issues..i dont know what to do about them. Remember to flash kernel of choice (highly recommend ktoonsez) after rom aswell. Have fun!
I will update as I go along, anyone can feel free to post. Welcome any and all who have this phone for any questions.

Safestrap: MUST use AT&T safestrap after I discovered we have different partitions than the 900V, as this time around we have a matching partition table of the AT&T S5. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2794087
Custom ROM: installed and working! VZW custom roms work. MUST BACKUP APN TO RESTORE (follow instructions here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2656046 ).
Everything else works.

I also have the SM-G900R6 & have been testing stuff to find out what works on our model, If you like I can post what mods I have tested & confirm working.
Are you also on NF2 with Bluegrass? Was your original firmware ND7?

Yes and yes. I've been trying custom vzw roms but there's a few unresolved issues (phone wakeups and other things, plus ne9 based roms don't work properly) etc I can't figure out. I'm back to stock but with tons of build prop tweaks, running like a champ. I can share with you if you like. What have you tested?

My build prop. It's possible to delete your build prop, copy that one into it and set permissions. Or restore it via build prop editor app, would probably be the easiest way.

Mine says nothing about boot. I'll try to do a backup and find a camera to show you later.
I tried Alliance slimhyde and extreme syndicate. I think They have problems with our firmware tho. Works mostly, apns are restorable , but have issues with Android.com.phone wakeup, can't figure out but it causes high system drain. If you're OK with less than stock battery life, try it. I'm trying to investigate the differences that cause problems I experience.

Thanks for this thread it will come in handy in the future. Plan on staying stock for now but may root for the MoaAB list. I have the R6 through my tiny carrier in Michigan Thumb Cellular.
So does each LRA carrier release software updates at different times? I'm on NF2 as well. Will root cause update errors?

The lra carriers should release all at once, updates are pushed from Samsung. Root can cause errors but you can unroot and restore system changes. It will block ota alerts tho, but I have an Xposed module that bypasses the root check so I'll still get notified of an update. Safestrap backups also help out a ton, so you can make a stock system backup to restore later etc.

Band 12 is hardly in any devices yet. Not even the new iPhones. I'm hoping for 2, 5 and 17 (band 4 and 13 are a given) that way if I ever want to sell it, it will work on T-Mobile and AT&T.

i did, says nothing about boot. everything else is ok. as far as testing the build prop, easiest way is probably to make a backup, and install build.prop editor app. it will create a romtoolbox folder on phone, then in that folder you should see build prop backups. paste it in there, open up app and restore it.
Hey guys
Has anyone tried to use a GSM Sim card? US or international, to test GSM capabilities of this model? Technically this phone should be an unbranded, unbloated Verizon model, which is SIM unlocked for US/Intl. carriers, unless the software restricts it.
Since our carriers use band 13 LTE like Verizon, it has to be unlocked.
I'm just curious what LTE bands it has.

I apologize if this has been covered, but i cannot find another situation like mine.
I have the verizon variant of the Galaxy s5
Currently on version 4.4.2
I rooted using towelroot on 4.4.2 i believe.
The verizon update came through and i completely forgot about root.
I tried to install, and it failed, then i lost root access.
Currently sitting here without root access, running towel root v3 won't work nor will changing the modstrings.
Root checker says no root,
But verizon OTA update won't work either. Get the error at the android open belly screen.
I need some help, i used to be awesome working with motorola phones, and root/unroot/restore/custom roms.
Samsung is a different story.
I need to get on the android 4.4.4 update (without tripping knox) because my bluetooth connectivity is dog ****.
Thanks for the help.

Solution,
Plug the phone into a windows laptop (may work on mac too) update the drivers. Auto play should pop up and VZW upgrade assistant will be an option. Click on this, it's pretty much automated from this point. You will not be rooted, even though a part of my problem was i wasn't rooted, but the update was failing. So thanks to HGFireHazard. He's the man.
If you have any questions i will try to answer them.
THanks

Having the same issue here. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I did a factory reset and that didn't solve the issue.
I was able to get updated to NI2. If you plug in the phone to a computer (Windows in my case), you can run the VZW Updater that Windows asks if you want to run when you first plug in the phone. From there it pretty much takes care of everything. Although obviously I'm now unrooted and will have to find a way to get that back.
Ni2? What is that.

NI2 is the newest build from Verizon but it's the 4.4.4 you're looking for.
Ok. Thanks didn't realize it was called ni2. It does it all through the updater though on the desktop?

Those are just the last 3 digits of it. That's basically how those on the forum have been distinguishing between updates is by the last 3. Yup it did everything. Once I installed the app and told it to update it did everything start to finish without any additional input from me.
How did you install the upgrade assistant. Verizon website says auto play should pop up. But it's not popping for me. USB debugging is enabled. Did you manually download it

Are you on Windows 8 or 8.1 by chance? If so, when you plug it in you should get a pop up in the upper right hand corner that will allow you to run it.
No. Windows 7. It goes into installer mode to update drivers and then goes into media mode.

There should be a popup that comes up when you first plug in the device. If there isn't, that's a setting you must have changed in Windows that you will have to modify. I originally tried to find an executable to run myself as it took me a minute to find the location to run it on Windows 8.1 but I wasn't able to locate. Unless someone else can chime in you'll have to get that popup to show.
Just flipped over to my girlfriends windows 8.1 laptop. seems to be installing just fine.
Thanks for all of the help i will report back if this works.
Thanks
