[Help] Galaxy S5 Active SM-G870 stuck on a stock recovery - Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

How do I get out of it and install rom
Thank Yossi

Using Odin
Can you access Download mode?
If so, then install stock firmware on your phone using Odin.
Other solutions can be flashing a custom recovery via Odin too. I recommend flashing stock firmware for complete fix.

Can't root if you are on the official lollipop update, needed to be on KitKat rooted to be able tp, so that cuts your answer short as root would be needed for the rest.

Ok so how would I roll back to 4.4.2 kit Kat? Is there a way to do that? My phone won't update to 5.1.1 or whatever and I can't root on 5.0 at this point I'm stuck. Can't find the necessary tar to or direction to do either at this point. Thanks for any help. I'm still searching for answers lol

[Q] Rooting S4 (Build No. NC1)

I am new to flashing so sorry if I have asked some stupid questions.
I have SGH-I337 (ATT) and would like to root and then maybe install Cyanogenmod or any other custom ROM.
Device Details:
Baseband - NC1
Build No. - NC1
Android Version - 4.4.2
I tried to root NC1 directly using motochopper. Then I read and I am now trying to downgrade.
I have got ODIN 3.09 but it does not say support to I337. I have gone through Noob Helper
I have downloaded all zips from Downgrade
After reading the article of Modems; I got confused about my bootloader.
I also have gone through the thread but after that confusion, I did not proceed ahead.
Could anyone please help me?
How to identify boot-loader?
Which ODIN to use or do I need to use SAFETRAP (not sure if bootloader is MF3) ?

Dont worry about Odin saying the device is i9505 or so. The flash will work.
For samsung phones running full stock firmware, all the components have the same version. Since your build is NC1, your bootloader is also NC1.
You are in the right track. Follow the downgrade thread to partial downgrade to MK2. Then use saferoot to root. Then install safestrap v3.72. Then use the deadly venom kitkat magic tool to install any kitkat rom of your choice from this list (post 3).
You cannot install any AOSP based rom. So, no CM. Even google play edition roms dont work.
You can install AOSP themed roms (like BlackBox3.0)

Thank you for the response. I have downgraded to MK2 and have done the root.
I was wondering if you could tell me if it is possible to install Liquid Smooth ROM. I have seen the video and I have downloaded from here which says S4 unified. Also, there are some videos claiming CM on S4.
Could anyone please help on the same?

As already stated, no AOSP based roms will work (ROMs that are built by compiling AOSP code). Only TouchWiz based roms will work. If you need AOSP look and feel, you can install an AOSP themed rom.
CM/AOSP on ATT S4 is only possible if you have the MDB/MDL bootloader. Anything above that, it wont work.

Sorry for the repeated questions.
I tried to update through Safestrap with BlackBox. But I got stuck on the boot screen where it shows Samsung Logo. I might have done something wrong. I just clicked next on BlackBox 3.0. Could anyone please help me !
Edit:
When I tried to reboot into recovery mood (Vol Up + Home + Power) it says:
" Secure Fail Kernel
(Warning Sign) System Software not authorised by ATT has been found on your phone"
Don't select the reboot now option in the aroma installer at the end. Then, after the ROM flash is complete and before you reboot the phone, you need to put the phone back in download mode and flash the MLD ap/bl/cp files from the tool

I flashed the NB1 using ODIN but it still stays on Samsung Logo with custom logo. I am not able to navigate any where else from that screen.
Edit:
I was able to go into system recovery. Please let me know if I can fix the error somehow.
Thanks a lot !
Get into stock recovery and factory reset. I am not sure why you flashed NB1 though, as there is no direct root method for it yet

He probably was following the steps that were provided elsewhere here that had you go from nc1 to nb1 then back to the M (I can't remember which M) one.

I had rooted MK2 and the installed the custom ROM (Blackbox) and then was suppose to flash NB1.
So, if I just did a factory reset it would solve my error?
Thanks for the help!
Edit:
I tried doing the factory reset. It just wipes all the user data. And I am still stuck on the same screen with Samsung and the custom logo.

[Q] Help with installing Stock Kernel and Stock Recovery

Hi guys
Really struggling to find the Stock Kernel for my Note 3 and how to flash.
From what i've read on other forums, everyone seems to say you just flash stock ROM via Odin however this has proven not to be the case when i have flashed.
Any help is appreciated, Thanks!

so what your saying is that you tried to flash the stock firmware via ODIN and the kernel did not revert back to stock kernel ?

Yes that's exactly right. to check if it was a one off i'm currently flashing stock ROM again via Odin as we speak.
it should work that way but if it still doesn't work, go into recovery and WIPE all and then reflash Stock.. that should work

[Q] Stock Rooted 4.4.4 NI2 to Lolipop?

I unfroze sdm. Received update and applied it. It just installs and errors.
I was hoping it would just wipe my root and install 5.0
Any suggestions?
Thank you.
To update you need to flash a stock tar using Odin, which would include the stock ROM and stock firmware, then update from that, but you would lose root. Or you could wait for someone to upload the firmware and ROM.

[q] sm-g900v root

I'm looking to root a Verizon S5 running 4.4.4 (G900VVRU1ANK2). I updated to 5.0 and didn't want it so I flashed back, but towelroot doesn't work for this version either. Is there a way to step it back to 4.4.2 and it work? Thanks!

Download this, flash via Odin, then root again. You will be on NGC, 4.4.2

Pardon my ignorance. But assuming you are rooted now with TWRP can you just update OE1 to OG5 and then flash BeastModeStock1.0-N910P-OG5.zip to get root back? or is it more complicated than that.

It is slightly more complicated. If you're saying update with this stock tar, yes but in addition to TWRP and Beastmode kernel, you still need to flash the SuperSU zip to root. And then there's the need to reapply your debloat, getting rid if Knox and ItsOn and any compatible mods.
Or just update with the tar (drag it out of the zip to a folder prior to flash in Odin), Odin TWRP and flash custom pre-rooted OG5 ROM. Not to get technical but you had it right if you add SuperSU zip to your question unless you were asking if you could just flash a OG5 ROM in recovery. I wouldn't recommend that. Clean install is also recommended.
Here's a step by step guide if you have problems.

It's been reported (bottom links) that flashing the OG5 stock tar wipes the internal memory. Try Helium in Google Play or KIES or Samsung Smart Switch for backup and restore.

The OP in this thread points to a faster download for OG5 stock tar.http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=62371911

I wasn't sure if userdata applications were wiped or not.
Did you have to do anything special to get Android Pay to work with root? What were your steps and applications used? Standard AP apk or the one recommended for root users?
Or did you just flash stock tar, setup AP and then root?
Trying to get to the root of the issue others have. I hear rooted stock works with AP but others are having issues with custom ROMs.
