Hi,
at first i want to apologize for my bad English.
I got an big problem with my S5, it wont boot anymore. I tried to access the recovery mode, but also there it ends in a bootloop. This phone pertains to an friend of mine, wich told me that he didn’t do a thing on that S5… however, the KNOX-bit is set.
So, I don’t know what I can do now. I tried to flash it via odin to the newest lollipop and a new recovery mode… both variants hasn’t worked for me.
Got anyone a idea what I can do to rescue that one?
Thank you.
Has anyone any idea?

Just a little bit of troubleshooting:
-What did you do to throw it in bootloop?
-Where did you get the firmware? Which version?
Ciuffy's SM-G900F CM 12.1 spirit hath marked this way.

Hello. Recently I got Galaxy S5. Then after trying to root it I realized it's a chinese clone which haa complicated my life. I tried to root it and put in a wrong version of Clockworkmod. As a result, I fortunately haven't bricked the phone, but my bootloader is not working anymore. It doesn't load up. Only thing that works is the factory mode. Now the problem is - I want to get the phone to it's stock ROM and firmware, but because there is no way to access bootloader, nor download mode, I can't use Odin to do so. Is there any way I could flash the phone with a stock ROM and make the bootloader work again? The OS works fine, only thing that doesn't work is the bootloader. Thank you.
Samsung Galaxy S5 clone (G900S - South Korean), MT6589. Android version 4.4.2 Kit Kat, Kernel version 3.4.5, rooted.
You need to identify what model you have, obtain the stock firmware for that model and restore that. There are forums that concentrate on the clone models, use Google to find them, and they will go into more detail about your options.
Beware that many things on XDA will brick or worse a clone as the apps and advice here are not intended for a clone which is completely different under the hood.

Thank you for your reply. Well tge stock firmware is secondary for me. The problem is with the corrupt bootloader. I think it tries to load the CWM, but due to it's incompatibility it cannot. Is there any way to replace the bootloader only? Without the working bootloader, I can't do anything to fix it or to flash a custom ROM. I haven't find anything related to it. Or at least not yet.

Try to get your money back bro. If it's a chinese clone s5 God only knows what it's running. It's not a Samsung nor an s5 for that matter so the recovery and Odin won't work.

Well, everything worked well until I tried to flash it. The reason was corrupt GPS. I found a way to fix the GPS but it required root and somehow I clashed it with incorrect CWM and the problem was born :/

Dude, get out of this forum or you`ll break your device permanently. You don`t have a Galaxy S5 and thuss neither a Qualcomm 801 cpu fow which these roms are build for. Find a forum somewhere for your device. Good luck
A normal (full) software image would include a bootloader. Separating a bootloader is much less common.
And as several people have already warned you.. quite a lot of the advice, procedures, firmware, et cetera on XDA will further damage your clone. Your clone may look like an S5 but it is very different internally. If you truly want a completely unusable phone, a literal paperweight, then continue.
Find another forum that has firmware and advice on how to program your specific clone.

Was the purchase of this clone made inside or outside of the USA?
Hi , everyone!
Hope you guys can help this noob here.
I installed the android 5.1.1 on my jiayu s3, from jiayu.es using sp_flashtool.
That part went fine
The problem is, I don't know what to do next.
I mean, I tried to install gapps via recovery but I receive a message saying
"INVALID OTA PACKAGE, MISSING SCATTER"
so I am with 5.1.1 but without root or gapps.
My phone is useless
Probaly what I am not seeing is extremely simple but I really don't know what to do and apreciate any help.
Thanks in advance.

Flash v1 or v3 they doesn't need gapps there is playstore in it already and you can download what you need...
Hi.
You need a customized Recovery , usually TWRP.
The infomation you are given should be from official recovery.
Hi all,
I've recently been gifted the note 3 n900 and rooted it. I also installed TWRP and CWM as well, and when i go to install a ROM, it does say successfully and then at reboot, it shows the samsung galaxy note 3 screen, after that it goes blank. I've to do a battery pull to get it back and then restore a backup. I've tried many ROMs and also did rooting again, still nothing.
I've been using the galaxy s4 i9500 for about 2 years now and that is rooted and i've been flashing roms on it all year long with no problem. I'm just not sure what's going with this.
I'm currently on 4.4.2 official stock as I can't do much. Lollipop has not yet come to my region i think.
Any help would be widely appreciated.
Thank you in advance.
Same Issue here but I am even not getting a samsung logo or a custom rom logo.

Hi
I had this problem for a couple of days, I found out that I flashed a incompatible rom via Odin. Can you can go into fast boot mode and tell me what it says at the top? Mine said " Couldn't do normal boot " which means the rom I flashed was not supported for my device. I went to the Samsung website to download a rom that was compatible with my device, I flashed it via Odin and it worked.
Thanks
I Just got my error fixed. U need to flash your bootloader via odin

I found that flashing the Stock Lollipop Rom worked, just as mentioned above by the above post. Yes, just by updating the bootloader i think it works. I've done it by getting the Russian stock rom from sammobile (even though i'm not in Russia), works like a charm. Really love the new feel to the note 3 n900. Just need to find a way to get permissive kernel now and ites perfect.
I know it can be done. My phone is an sm-s902l, a klte variant. It is specifically a klte VZW. G900v ROMs usually work, but in this instance,(modem/bootloader), they don't. At least not on my phone. Odin fails every time. Flash fire fails. Nu TWRP doesn't offer any help. Is anybody have any idea how to do this?
The only firmware available from sammobile is 4.4.2
Help!
I'm going to keep bumping this thread in hopes that someone will see it and help me out. WHY CANT I GET G900V FIRMWARE ON MY PHONE??
Does anyone know why he 900v firmware will not flash on to my SM - s902l?

dude ... just admit you made a bad choice and move on.
stop annoying who didn't.
Huh... so if I have a question I'm annoying people. Youre a piece of work, bigmouth. I don't think I made a bad choice at all. And I won't quiet down because you find me annoying. Go Pound sand. Still looking for help on this. G900v firmware on an sm-s902l...

I didn't have any luck with the stock VZW MM ROM either. I use the Lollipop MOAR_VZW_6.6.2_BOC4 ROM for everyday use and it works perfectly. About once a week I try the latest CM 13 kltevzw nightly build. Except for a stuttering problem when sending audio through Bluetooth, CM 13 gives MM functionality and I'm still using the S902LUDU3AOG2 Baseband version.
I wonder why we can't get Verizon stock mm to work...
