Hello dear XDA-Community,
Until now, I kept with Audax Rom 1.2 (based on firmware OH3) with its delivered Audax kernel, but now I wanted to upgrade to OJ5.
Everything went fine with Audax Rom 2.0 (OJ5) - custom kernel from Arter was working as well. I still messed up something though.
I read that the OJ5 firmware/bootloader blocks the flash of any custom recovery. I was a bit too risky and updated my recovery to a newer PhilZ version anyways after I flashed the new bootloader and modem. Now my phone won't boot up anymore. Doesn't matter what I'm trying.
Audax Rom 2.0 (OJ5) with and without custom kernel doesn't boot up. It will only bring me to the stock Samsung bootlogo. But it keeps there.. for an endless amount of time.
I think that I messed up because I still wanted to update my recovery - even after I upgraded to the OJ5 bootloader + firmware + modem.
I wanted to go back to AOH3 now.. and I downloaded the AOH3 stock firmware. Unfortunately it fails to flash in Odin. It literally stops at "cm.bin" and shows "FAIL!".
Is there any way how I can fix my phone again?
I really really need your help, guys. :/
Greetings
Prim
Edit: That's fixed. I can boot now. I installed stock OJ5 firmware.
Apparently there is no way to do a downgrade from AOJ5 to AOH3.
I downloaded the AOJ5 stock firmware and installed it. Everything works fine now.
But due to the fact that it's completely stock, my battery life is horrible (30% loss of battery over 6 hours screen being off.) :crying:
Is there any method to install a custom recovery and kernel after I updated to AOJ5?
A lot of people run AOJ5 with a custom recovery. But my phone is based on the newest bootloader, which now doesn't allow me to install any custom recovery. I really hope there is some workaround for this. I am really not happy with stock AOJ5, as it was supposed to fix the battery drain, but it drains even more than AOH3 :/

Development options/ OEM Enable and that is all
Oh my actual god. It works. I am now running OJ5 together with the newest modem, custom recovery, custom kernel and ROM.
Thanks a lot, sir. :fingers-crossed:

Hey everyone!
I just got my AT&T G2 last night.. I like the phone, but really want to root and ROM, coming from a gnex.. its a bit bloated to me
Anyway, it was 4.4.2 out of the box with firmware verison, D80020c. Originally I thought I would need to revert to stock firmware D80010d? However now I have been told I can just use ioRoot25 and then flash Cloudyfa's AutoRec recovery? Is that correct?
I'm going to get at this, this afternoon but obviously it would save a lot of work if I could just use ioRoot25 but as I said, I want a custom recovery also so I can flash a non-stock rom.
Please let me know what would work, and what works best.. Thanks, Chris.
I've went ahead and downloaded supersports tool to revert to stock D80010d. I haven't actually ran it yet, because I want to wait on input from people in this thread. However, it seems like rooting with ioRoot on D80010d, flashing custom recovery, and than flashing a ROM would be the way to go.. It is my understand that currently it is no yet possible with KK to have custom recoveries? Being on stock KK doesn't do anything for me anyway.. I'll probably just flash a asop based ROM running 4.4.2 anyway and go that way with it.. So it would work like this..
Currently on D80020c (KK) --> Revert to stock, D80010d (JB) --> Root using ioRoot (any verison would work I guess?) --> ADB flash over either CWR, TWRP, or Philz recovery? --> Get some 4.4 based rom with gapps, flash it and all is well? Then I will be rooted and romed with a kitkat based rom correct? And all in time for the weekend?? lol.
Right on. Use ioroot25, but apart from that you've got it all figured out. You're right there is no recovery for pure kk because they patched the Loki exploit, but there are work arounds. Everything you need to know about rooting and flashing had been covered here so just go ahead and do your thing and enjoy your new phone :good:
I bought a new Samsung Galaxy S5 today at a local T-Mobile store. But it turns out that the model number is SM-G900T3, for which I cannot find any information on how to root and install custom recovery. Has anyone had any luck with this model? It's build LMY47X.G900T3UVU1FOF6 Android version 5.1.1
Thanks!
What to do for G900T3 S5
Same here. I went from S4 running cyangenmod 12.1 to s5 g900t3. All because i cracked the screen on my s4. I don't like the stock firmware too much on the s5 so I've been researching rooting it. But run into the same issue. No info on rooting this model. The only thing I can think of to do is downgrade to 4.2 using Odin then root and install CWM. Yet I found a forum where someone posted they were unsuccessful in downgrading the g900t3. So HELP PLEASE.
Turns out it's actually simpler than that. If your goal is to replace the stock firmware with a custom one, such as cyanogenmod then you don't even need to root your stock firmware. All you need to do is flash TWRP custom recovery with Odin, then reboot into TWRP recovery and create a backup of your stock firmware just in case. After that you should be good to go ahead and install cyanogenmod or any other supported custom firmware. This is exactly what I've done with my SM-G900T3.
But if you really want to root your stock firmware then here is a guide for that:

Hope this helps.
OK thanks for the link. It does state not to flash if I'm on FOG6 Build, which I am. Even though my baseband version is FOF6. Guessing the Build is more important. Last night I tried to downgrade to 4.4 using Odin, that immediately didn't work. So I Flashed Philztouch CWM on it then tried to install superuser from the galaxys5 root page, but it was stuck in bootloop on the T-mobile screen. I realized the superuser was for 5.0 version. So then I used Odin again to flash my firmware back on to it the g900t3 5.1.1 FOG6 from the Sammobile website. After that, because I saw I had a reply on here, I used Philztouch to install Cyanogenmod 12.1 nightly recovery (don't know which on it was, either klte or klteusc) without rooting and I was stuck in the Cyan's big eyed alien face thing bootloop screen again. So then I had to reinstall my stock firmware once more. Basically after 4+ hours of rooting I'm back where I started. LOL. I don't know what else to do. I'm still researching FOG6 to see if I find anything.

Would this be the same procedure to follow if I wanted to put a stock T-Mobile version of 4.4.2 on my SM-G900T3? Or would that not work?
Don't Know what I am doing wrong. This is my forth phone I've rooted and installed custom roms. I just upgraded from lollypop to Marshmellow, I was running moar rom on lollypop, no problems.
After I upgraded I lost root access so I re-rooted. But now I can not seem to have success on installing a new rom, I've tried two different roms. I follow the instructions and it begins to load and just sits there, even after a good 20 minutes or so. I'm figuring I'm missing something here, please help. My stasts: ,Sprint carreir, model sm-G900P, build MMB29M.G900PVPU3CPCA

You can't flash lp roms anymore since you have mm bootloader and modem

Duh! That's why i said he can't flash lp rom with mm bootloader and modem.
Ok, sorry for being such a dumb ass, but can someone walk me through this. I only know enough to be a total danger to myself and don't want to really f something up that I can't fix.
My younger brother has a Note 4. It was previously on Kitkat 4.4.2, stock rom, rooted with dual recovery...
He wanted to manually update to either a 5.1.1 Lollipop rom or even 6.01 Marshmallow.
After having tried several 6.01 roms, the phone either bootloops or the sim card is not reading...
After having trying to flash the radio & bootloader to flash via odin, it keeps failing when trying to do so.
Could someone please recommend a simple Lollipop rom or Marshmallow rom that actually WORKS and the sim card is read as it should?
With my current Sony Z2, it is so much simpler, flashing any roms automatically comes with the kernal, radio, recovery, root, etc...
With Samsung it is much more complex and finding a rom which comes with everything seems difficult to find.
Some roms even ask to choose a kernel & modem/radio. How the F**K do i know which one I need? Even when selecting one it results in a bootloop.
I'm not interested in overclocking or using a custom kernel. I just want something that works and any 5.1.1 rom or Marshmallow rom would do. I want something as close as stock as possible. Not interested in Cyanogen mod, custom roms or such.
Thanks!!
you need to flash a compatible modem for your model number and version of android. If it helps, I'm using: N910FXXUICOL2 with Marshmallow
I have the N910F model.
Hmm, I don't know why you are having problems, actually its Samsung where you can simply flash a ROM with Odin, no need of ADB or anything.
You just make sure that you COMPLETELY WIPE your phone before flashing a stock ROM via Odin. You should not have any problem at all, no one should, unless its hardware.
I couldn't find a solution to this problem myself so I was hoping someone else could provide some insight. Whenever I try to flash any Lollipop roms whether it's stock or custom my phone gets stuck on the boot logo and reboots. I tried downgrading TWRP and flashing the stock Lollipop firmware then going to a custom ROM but no avail. Nougat and Marshmallow roms work fine.

You probably will not find a solution as no one has really developed a lollipop ROM utilizing the MM or N bootloader/ radio.

It's just strange I flashed the boot loader and radio for the stock lollipop firmware and it still boot loop.
