i have used the guide here in this forum after creating a Gold Card
i have already did that to get the 1.83.415.4 update for my phone to be able to use the Arabic official keyboard in this newest update
or at least root my phone and get better custom stable software
i have checked the software update after downgrading but it still saying my phone software is up to date!!!!!!
Well,
i need your help getting the answers for the following:
1- Does my phone became unbranded now after downgrading? i did not saw the usual vodafone logo when starting m phone
2- is there is anyway to force my phone to update the new official software after downgrading?
3- if i can not force it to update ..what i should do to root my phone and which the most safer way to do that (please refer me to step by step guide and a working links to the required tools)
4- what's the most stable software which contains Arabic support and how i can install it in step by step guide..
Thanks in advance for your help and please excuse the long topic as am totally new to android ( it took around 2 weeks to just figure out how to downgrade my phone)
Waiting your answers ASAP
1. Yes its unbranded.
2. You can update officially by downloading an ruu but don't. Best to get radio s-off.
3. Search the development section. You want to perm root and s-off.
4. Leedroid arabic edition.
-----
Someone Swyped my idea.
Thanks for your reply
Good news that my phone became officially unbranded
Well, in another forum (Arabic one) they just adviced me to download the official new rom 1.8xxxx on my pc (they provided me with the links)
then to connect my phne to my pc and then start the installing through my pc
No S-Off needed... No Rooting needed
and guess what... it's working like charm now
Thanks everybody
Yep, but someone could find the complete lack of root a downside
Hello. I have used this forum many of times and have found great info on rooting. But I am stumped on this. I have
Verizon Galaxy S5

I tried to use towelroot.com and when I tap the sign, all I get is sent to another page with a bunch of visual code. No make it rain, no nothing. Then I downloaded Odin, unzipped the file, did not see a .tar file anywhere and when I put my phone into download mode, connect it to my computer, my device does not show up in the accept box. Maybe I'm doing something wrong or there isn't a rootable way for my device yet. Any information will help. Thanks
Solution.

I have the same exact build number and I managed get my handset stuck in a recovery bootloop. I ODIN back to stock. Back to square one. At least I didn't brick it.
I dont have a g900v, but laat i checked they were in almoat identical boats as the g900a, and last i checked for us, theres no way to root lollipop or downgrade or anything, so the reason you are unable is because you cant.

Thanks. I'll stop trying. It would be insane to fire up ODIN again and flash something older, when they have already patched the stuff. I just wanted 'root', sigh.

I take back my previous post, after poking around in the verizon section it seems all hope is not lost, i recommend having a read over is the verizon galaxy s5 section, your question is more likely to be answered there.

I dont think you can if you are already on 5.0, if you were rooted on 4.4.2 you could but if you werent youre stuck.

I had to flash 4.4.4 on top of 5.0 before doing anything else. Here's the process.

Your problem lies where mine does. Depending on the baseband version you have, means that the bootloader may or may not have an exploit available to allow root etc.
For him, the OA8 version allows a root method. As for you, on OC4 as well as the one I have, OG5, is un rootable as far as I know. At least for right now.
If you require, tethering, mobile Hotspot (if you have unlimited data like me), call recording, ad blocking etc. These things are still possible without root on your Verizon s5. I made a post about it a few pages back. However these are the programs I use for those things while we wait for root .
No root is required for these apps to work properly on the Verizon galaxy s5. They all have free trials but a couple require purchase for full functionality. Money well spent imo.
"Call Recorder" by Skvalex - call recording & management ($8
"PDANET" or "FoxFi" (PDANET includes foxfi) - for tethering & wifi Hotspot ($7)
"Block It!" - VPN ad blocking service. (Free but not available on Google play)
This worked for me

Look for this video on youtube: Galaxy S5 SM-G900V 5 0 Root Successfully. It worked for me and hope this helps you.
Sm-g900v rootable bootloaders?
Last fall, I bought a used RAZR M with the intention of flashing it over to us on Page Plus. I had just flashed my wife's RAZR MAXX over and thought "How hard can it be?" This was JUST before Page Plus announced 4G LTE on their network (facepalm).
I rooted and unlocked the bootloader with motochopper. But I was having trouble finding an up to date guide for flashing the M to pageplus. The phone was on KitKat, and the exploit had just come out, so none of the guides had been updated... and of course none of them would be because Page Plus got 4G LTE. So my timing was just REALLY bad.
Long story short... I tried muddling through with an older guide. I flashed a recommended radio file via RSD Lite, and the M's radio stopped working completely.
I got frustrated with the process and set the phone aside, but I want to get it working now, since I can use it on Pageplus without flashing.
This is the current info on my phone:

It's got ClockworkMod Recovery v6.0.4.9, although for some reason every time I try to install a zip from it, it fails.
Can someone point me to a working radio for my phone I can install via RSD Lite, or tell me if there is a different/better way to fix it?
Thanks in advance!
Have you tried downloading just the stock radio (or entire stock firmware FXZ) and flashing entirely back to default through RSD/House of Moto? Get the default stuff here: http://motofirmware.com/files/category/18-scorpionmini-xt907/
