Guys, what's the problem?
when I was on 4.2.2 I successfully flashed (from here, 9505 with pit. Just wipe data, cache, dalvik cache...)
Germany DBT (October 2013) (firmware with Enforcing SELinux. SECURED BOOTLOADER WILL BE FLASHED, NO DOWNGRADE)
PDA: I9505XXUEMJ5
CSC: I9505OXAEMJ5
MODEM: I9505XXUEMJ5
Version 4.3
firmware and am happy using it right now. 2 yellow text lines on every boot doesn't change anything...
Now am running the same firmware with thisROM (Very complicated to install, but its very very very fast and smooth
P.S. If you have issues with ROOT and CWM/recovery menu - reply (this) my comment and explain what's wrong

Well... First read everything
Try to install CWM or philz touch recovery meniu. Then when you there, format everything including data, system etc... But don't format SD card, becouse it doesn't change anything.... than try to flash your phone via odin using 3.09 version (I used it - I succeed) using pit file also from HERE (at the bottom pit files, odin, everything you need to download...)
Talking about format data, system etc... am not sure if it not brick your phone, becouse I never tryed, but therefore Odin installs everything for you, so... Need experienced XDAers to appear in this thread and confirm if it's ok...

I am in the same situation, could you fix your problem? if yes, how?

[please help!] Flashed wrong CWM now touch is out of sync

Hello guys,
Just yesterday I was trying to install CWM on my N910G (Singapore ver. i believe), and after installing the custom ROM (Dr.Ketan) i realised touch would work but out of place. (when I touch the middle, the phone thinks I'm touching the right hand side). Then today I looked at the CWM file I downloaded, the name is N915G (note edge)... so now I think I know what the problem is. Probably due to the resolution difference, touch works as on the note edge even though I have the note 4.
I tried flashing stock ROM, everything works fine but the touch issue didn't go away....
Do you guys have any suggestions for this problem? thanks a lot!

I have found the fix though this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4/help/huge-problem-help-t3071738/post59906604#post59906604
Basically just enter *#2663# into the dialer and then click TSP FW Update.

search somewhere here. There people who had this problem before... spen works fone right? So use the spen to go service mode where you can update/calibrate your screen... forgot the dial code but it's not the *#0*#

oops..! ? you found it already.

I'm from Philippines. Is it fine to install India's Lollipop Firmware for Galaxy E5?

The Philippines haven't got any Android 5.1.1 (Lollipop) update for Galaxy E5 (SM-E500H) yet (click), but India (click) has already. I'd like to know if it is fine to install theirs for my device. And, what are the implications if I do?
Device Status
- unlocked
- rooted
- using stock recovery
Thanks XDA peeps!

Hi
Hey Buddy,
I used the ROM in the link you provided & flashed it on my E5 purchased in UAE & its working great. Go give it a try

what is your model number?

It's fine to do so, please post a feedback for after update performance, As I'm hesistating to update or not, and If you have any games like Asphalt 8, does it still performa good on Android Lollipop?
Thanks in advance

Great Performance

Everything works fine. It is a smooth ROM with good battery life.

Guys need help . I updated to lollipop too . But now I want to go back to kitkat so that I can root .
how can I downgrade back to kitkat . Help please

Now that we got lollipop on e5, anybody has come up with a way to root it?

None I believe .. it's requirement is to be running on kitkat.
I still tried to root mine , to try it out
result: stuck on Samsung logo then screen turns green.
after this I just flashed my lollipop rom . Then I'm back to lollipop .not rooted

Did the same thing, updated it to Lollipop. It works well. But the thing is there's not yet any way to root a Lollipop updated E5. However I did try to root it, following its Kitkat's rooting procedure which caused it to froze up on Samsung logo (bootloop) plus followed by the screen turning green.
So now, it's back to Kitkat as I'm so used to using phones with xposed modules. But I'll update it once there's a Lollipop root available.
Cheers!

Wait ... you're running on kitkat now Bro ? Or lollipop ?
Galaxy e5 ? Did you root your e5 when it was running on lollipop ?

Am on lollipop waiting for lollipop root,

Yeah same here ... hope they make procedures on how to root e5 running on lollipop 5.1.1
---------- Post added at 08:23 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:15 AM ----------
Oh yeah Endroyed I also flashed India lollipop . For me battery life of kitkat is much better than lollipop .

I find lollipop has better battery life than kitkat. The only thing I miss is root

Hey mtadao can you send me some screens hots of your e5 lollipop what version are you using 5.1.1 ?

I flashed the Indian version from Sammobile. Actually the phone appearance changed very little if any and no bloatware was added

Yeah ... we have the same . Firmware .. .

I wish I could root my E5 running on lollipop

New update for 5.1.1 has been released 244MB. i have downloaded it but i don't see anything new although they say it's fixing bugs, security etc. Check it out

yeah ... i also heard about it the update .. they say it fixed palm selfie

I am trying to root it with kingroot app, but no use so far.
The available strategy doesn't work for me,but give it a try, it might work for you.

Kind regards, benz.

The phone is screwed with out some sort compatable rom..
PLEASE HELP!!!!! ITS NOT LIKE ITS A SUPER NEW PHONE ANYMORE.
THANK YOU. PLEASE MESSAGE ME IF U HAVE ANY IDEAS OR BREAKS

are you running AOSP or TouchWiz ROMs?

Now I' m running cyanogemod 13... But happened the same when i reflashed stock rom

grab the tar.md5 from sammobile.com, wipe the internal in twrp, delete the android folder from your sd card and flash the tarball in Odin. Ive been having nothing but issues with the aosp environment and the camera... its annoying

Which tar i have to download ? The entire firmware from sammobile?

Yeah, the whole 1.5 GB. Sammobile is the most secure and trustworthy place, but sometimes you can find them on android file host

Here's the link you'll want. You'll just have to look for the one for your carrier. I recall seeing something that if you flash a 6.0 tar.md5 you might not be able to get root back, but if I had to choose between root and a working camera, I'd choose the camera
Vodafone Italy
http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/SM-G900F/OMN/
From there you can use the drop down above the firmware links to choose your carrier. I'd stick with a 5.0 based firmware to avoid potential issues that could arise. For instance, on the g900p (American sprint model) if you flash a 6.0 tar.md5, you can't install custom lollipop or kitkat ROMs, only marshmallow ones

Yeah it' s okay but you mean to reset the phone and flash the stock 6.9 firmware?? Because i' ve already done it a lot of times but the camera problem is always there

You've done Odin flashes?
