samsung galaxy s5 5.0 need help! - Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

hello everyone im new to this website and forum.
I have a*samsung*galaxy*s5 G900F with android lolipop official state.
until yesterday i was really happy, but then i accidently deleted one of my albums with pictures and videos of my holidays.
So as you can guess i want to get those deleted pictures and videos back.
The first few hours i was searching for methods to recover them, i found a programm that wanted to root my phone and recover de lost data but every time i tried it failed.
a couple of hours i found an answer for my problem.. root your phone and use one of the recovery apps that you can find on google playstore.
so right now i need help with rooting my phone or towelrooting (dont know which is best for me).
i was looking trough the forums and there are too many pages too dig trough and alot of the how-to's dont have any working links anymore.
I hope someone can help me with my problem.
Baseband version is G900FXXU1POED
greetings, Fearror

[Q] Please help me with rooting & flashing

Hello there!
I have a Galaxy Note 3 i9005. I used to have it rooted (towelroot) but I accidentally updated the phone to version 4.4.2 which sadly removed my root. I've had my phone for about a year, and I feel it's time to spice things up with a new rom, but I find myself lost in this whole flashing jungle.
So, my questions are, is it possible for me to safely root & flash my phone? If so, could anyone point me in the right direction? I've tried searching a bunch but it's very hard to find in-depth guides explaining the process in detail. I don't even know if such a guide exists for the Note 3.
I live in Sweden so I don't think the phone has a locked bootloader if that affects anything.
Please help me.

I've rooted several new note 3 with this method..http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-3/general/root-root-xxufnf4-stock-firmware-knox-t2840150
I managed to root it with that method! Knox is 0x0, thanks for the pointer man
Now, I'd like to know how to flash a custom rom. I've been looking a lot at different custom roms, however I can't seem to decide which one I want. Besides, I don't even know if I'm able to flash my phone since I'm running Android 4.4.2. All guides takes for granted that you have some knowledge with flashing, which I don't.

HELP ROOTING G530W Android 5.1.1

Hello,
Is there a way to root the Samsung Grand Prime G530W on Android 5.1.1?
I've try alot of one click root but none of them are working
Can someone help ?
Thanks
Sbougie
---------------------------------
As per the information i got from samsung this is the same phone as the G530T that was rooted in another thread.
Contiuniously looking.
I'm in the same boat, have been looking for a solution to this root for the past couple of months. To my knowledge the best solution would be looking to see if the lollipop 5.1.1 has been rooted for galaxy S6, as this phone has the same platform. Hopefully someone can give you more information and a possible route guide because I've tried to unroot this phone several times using different rom versions only to have to factory restore and being locked out multiple times. I've since stopped attempting and browse for answers from time to time. Wishful thinking may give us the right answer. Gl in your search if XDA is unhelpful.

You can find all the info you need in this post.
Don't know what your firmware is but the oldest base you can go is NB1 (4.4.2).
Root the phone with towel root.
Install either flash fire or safestrap and flash the desire lollipop rom.
Hello! I don't want to start a new thread just yet, but I'm also stuck in a bootloop after a mishap during a manual update. Is it possible to recover any of the internal files when recovering the phone, or is it impossible? Honestly, I just want the files off of my phone more than anything else. There are a lot of memories there that I would love to save...I know, I know, I should have backed up those files, but that chance is gone now. :crying:

Note4(SM-N910G) - Either WIFI or SIM is working - both at once -> no chance

Hi guys,
i was the last few days here in this Forum and tried to educate myselfe about flashing and Roms and all that stuff. But to be honest it seems that this problem is beyond everything i can handle. I really hope you guys can help me.
My plan was that i flash a clean (bloatweare free) ROM on my new (secondhand) Note 4. At first i tried the unofficial CM 13 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4/snapdragon-dev/unofficial-cm13-0-910f-g-t3243386) mod. Everything was fine until i recognized that i dont have wifi. All i got was a weird WLAN-MAC (02.00.00.00.00.00). I just coudlnt enable my WIFI.
(ROM-Flashing with odin (3.09) and TWRP Indian Version (twrp-3.0.2-0-trltedt.img.tar)
I just thought its maybe the ROM which just doesnt fit to my mobile, so i tried the official nightly version from the CM Site Version 12.1 (https://download.cyanogenmod.org/?device=trltexx) But no success with that one either. The same problem. At that point i was pretty clueless about whats happening here and i started to panic a little. I was searching a few days about the WIFI Problem but coudltn find any solution. There was a Nexus-thread with the same problem but they didnt find a solution either.
At this point i was pretty sure that i messed up my mobile but i didnt give up.
I found the Nameless Rom (5.1.1.) here in this Forum and i tried it. The flashing was without any problems... and i was really happy that the first setup asked my about my wifi...until i recognized that this time the problem was that my Note4 couldnt find my SIM. Its really crazy
I tried everything. I tried to flash it again with different bootloaders and modems (from the ROM-Thread) and then i recognized that this time my SIM works but my WIFI wasnt there anymore. I dont know what to do anymore.

Please help me. I dont know what to do anymore :/ I am a noob, so please forgive me if i missed to give you important information. If you give me advice i will give you any information you need about my mobile!
Thanks for your help!
This is a really weird issue. I have never heard of this before. Try flashing the stock ROM with ODIN.
Good luck.
Thank you for you replay. I was thinking the same and read a little about it.
I have downloaded SamFirm and tried to download the correct firmware for my mobile. But unfortunatly thats not so easy as i thought.
MY modelnumber is SM-N910G. Since my mobile is manufactured in Thailand i assume that the software needs the region code from this country but i cant find the right one. Is Thailand even the right one?
Based on the pictures attached in the orignal post can you maybe help me to find out which code is the correct one?!
if someone finds this thread and has the same problem: I solved it by installing Dr.Ketan's ROM

Backup Firmware before root?

Hi Guys
Hopefully, someone could point me in the right direction.
I'm ready to Root my S8 phone, but previously lessons with Samsung have Taught me I'm going to need to backup the firmware before I do anything.
Has anyone managed to do this before?
I know there is stock firmware out there to download when I want to revert. But last time on my S6 I lost the ability to use google play music because of something with firmware issues.
Maybe this was to do with having brought my phone in New Zealand.
I tried many different firmware and roms until I realized there must have been something not compatible with my phone and I gave up.
I haven't found any guides yet as I google this topic.
Thanks in advance guys!
