[q] SW Rev Check Fail... Any solutions?

Apologies for creating an extra thread but i have still cant get my sm-n9005 working. I keep receiving a SW Rev check fail when flashing.
now what i think has happened is i have flashed a BTU firmware. the device is a TGY model so i am assuming that the bootloader on the BTU firmware is newer.
When trying to flash TGY firmware obviously has a older bootloader which i am guessing?
I would really really really appreciate if anyone could just help getting the phone on atleast?
Thanks

Only way I sorted this was to flash the original firmware that came with the phone or whatever latest update I had updated to.

Mine came with stock UK btu firmware the first version and I tried to flash h3g UK firmware and got this. I got into bootloder and flashed stock UK btu firmware from www.samfirmware.com and it worked after that

Flashing Rom's

Hi,
The samsung Galaxy s5 seems to be the hardest device to flash roms on compared to all the other android tablets and phones i've owned,
nothing seems to work properly aha. I tried installing an omega rom v1.8 which didn't work at all so i gave up and thought do they have a cyanogenmod ROM for Samsung Galaxy S5 and installed Lollipop (5.0) and i like it apart from no fingerprint scanner functionality which was lack of research on my behalf and the home button won't wake the screen up (have to use power button)
i thought why not try going to 6.0.x (Marshmallow) and i always get an error saying "Patching System Unconditionally" which could sit there for hours if i let it, im unsure if i have to update my bootloader? but it should be fine

Are you using full firmware tar downloads from sammobile.com

When stuff breaks on s5 I flash pb1 firmware in odin for some reason flash always seems to work
Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk

Sorry whats PB1
Also,
i just installed the stock Lollipop ROM to my phone so it wasn't as useful as a brick haha,
these are the steps ill do,
ill flash a custom recovery TWRP probably my favourite, and that will be done with odin
ill redownload CM13 and Gapps for it,
ill transfer them onto my SD card and ill boot into recovery,
ill then factory and wipe data and cache$
then ill flash the ROM and then Gapps
then Reboot
is this process fine do you think?

Actually do a full backup then wipe everything except external SD card and usb storage

How did it go? Did it flash correctly

Sorry for the late reply but the flash went well only things I'm having trouble understanding is why NFC won't woek and battery life is terrible whether its a new battery. I can have blue tooth on and play 3 songs from 100% and battery goes to like 83 what is the cause

Hi!
I think you must provide more information to us in order to help you.
Tell us:
is your ROM stock running without problems?
Which ROM stock version is running without problems?
if you want to flash a MM custom ROM, you must flash first a stock MM ROM (ODIN flash can modify PIT, partitions size, etc)
I was running a LP ROM stock version, then try to flash RR MM and it wasn't able to run
I flashed by ODIN samsung stock MM, then flash RR MM and run without problems!

The only problem i encountered with the stock ROM was it was sluggish with the amount of crap i had on the phone (alot of pics and apps)
Lollipop Android 5.0 G900IDVU1BOJ1 For the Australian Samsung Galaxy s5 (Optus but unlocked from stock)
i initially did flash a stock ROM using Odin and then using TWRP i factory Reset, Dalvalik, Cache and internal storage.
and are you saying flash the 6.0 Stock on the phone then try to do the Cyanogen mod ROM afterwards??
Thanks heaps

I don't know much about the g900i is it basically a g900f that works in Australia?

How to update g900i to cm13

pretty much so g900f roms would run on the g900i im sure. im able to install CM 13 its just running poor whether i do a dirty flash or a proper flash battery goes flat by just sitting their. was 100% this morning (9:30 AM) and its 11:30 AM and all ive done is listen to music and its at 44% and NFC wont work, this is with the latest cm 13 update too

To save battery life you can try using greenify LSpeed and kernel auditor apps all avaliable from Google play

Why not just download the Factory Image and extract it ?

You guys know metered WiFi is a thing, yes? Maybe downloading the entire factory image will eat up his data and charge more than he's willing to pay. If you aren't going to post it, no need to reply.

[HELP] S5 will not boot

Hello all,
I have a completely stock VZW S5. Yesterday after restarting be cause it was a bit laggy it went into a boot loop. "Galaxy S5" screen comes up then about 7-10 seconds later goes black and I feel two quick vibrate pulses and it repeats.... Does this indefinitely.
I am unable to boot to normal safe mode or recovery mode. I can however boot to Download mode which brings me here.
What are your suggestions. I read somewhere that since I can boot to download it is likely a software issue. Thoughts? Suggest would be greatly appreciated.
And FWIW I am completely noob in this world of rooting so talk slowly! lol
Thank you,

Try pulling the battery then boot into recovery. From there you could try:
1. Clearing cache
2. Factory reset
If you absolutely can't boot into anything except download mode, you could try to use Odin to reload whichever ROM you were on. Good luck!

I am thinking I have toe go the Odin route. I can't boot into anything other than download.
I have a mac so that makes things more difficult. I have downloaded JODNI3 and Heimdall in preparation that I will have to go this route. However since I cannot get on my phone, I can't lookup my version I have to pick a stock ROM. And I have no idea what I would do even if I could pick it.

If you can use Odin, you can pick any stock OEM ROM.

Where can I get them? The ones I have found are from files exchange sites and the download time is 15-20hrs unless I pay $20 for a "premium" membership.
And once I find a stock ROM where can I find info on how to use JODIN3? Like what section do I upload the ROM file to??

The are several places here to find the OEM ROM you need, but I can't help you with a Mac. Again, there are instructions here on how to use Odin for a PC.
