CWM Recovery on S5 active ?

Anyone know how to get a stable recovery on s5 active at ? I rooted with towel root and now I just need a recovery ? Here's my device info
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G870A using XDA Free mobile app

Bump,
I too would like to know if CWR can be installed on the active. Just picked mine up today and so far i cant seem to find a whole lot of information about compatible recoveries or cyan mod regarding the gs 5 active

hopefully Samsung will smarten up and unlock the bootloader, i remember i had this same trouble with my HTC One and then after a few months they finally opened up the bootloader. Im starting to regret picking up the Gs5...

Coming from a Galaxy S4 (GT-I9505 (rom was before Knox, yay!)) I guess I'm spoiled for info. I didn't quite expect it to be this sparse. :-/
Only 2 threads concerning rooting and installing recovery on the SM-G870F..
Even though I've been here for almost a decade, I still find it unsettling every time i have to fiddle with the firmware.
And even more so, when Samsung is threatening with all sorts of evil (which btw by law, doesn't ruin my guarantee where I live).
So thanks guys! I'm now rooted (Chainfire -Towelroot doesn't work) and have made a backup with TWRP.

Post a feedback when you're done

I confirm that twrp-2.8.7.0-klte ( galaxy S5 international version) works without problem on S5 Active ( SM-G870F).
You can not install this custom recovery direct from TWRP Manager from GooglePlay but installing is possible through Odin.
It was very hard to get any information and find clear experience about possible custom recovery for this model (SM-G870F). But thanks for you guys, it actually works now on my phone. :good:

Looking for Safestrap for SM-870W
Hi All,
After some research, I found that Samsung S5 Active (Bell (Canada) Mobility) has a locked bootloader
so I cannot install CWR or TWRP customer recovery. So I guess it Safestrap for me. But I can only find
Safestrap for either AT&T or Verizon http://www.mediablog.us/download-install-safestrap-recovery-verizon-galaxy-s5-sm-g900v-att-galaxy-s5-sm-g900a/
Can I use either one of them on my device? My intention is to load Koolkit ROM but I need to figure
out first how can I install Safestrap on my phone.
Any help, advise or suggestion is appreciated.
Thank you.

That has nothing to do with this post. Use search.

trouble to root also :\
just install v20g and try the manually Method
http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/development/guide-root-method-lg-devices-t3049772
and it didnt work no root

Same here, unable to root V20p.

-delete-

i cant update my device coz the system detects that my device has been rooted though i already unroot it in the SuperSU app as stated on the One Click root thread.

Flashed with flash tool over 20h on a phone from VDF Romania. All went well, nothing spectacular to report works and seems as snappy (or choppy) as 20H was. Needs some settling in to decide but guess there are improvements (or slowdowns) somewhere there deep in the code.

hi can someone confirm the baseband version on their about .
i just flashed the modem only and i want to confirm it went ok.
many thanks

so whats new ? any news for when we will get the 5.1 SW -_-

You do not need root to install with KDZ files numerous guides to do it on the forums with a quick search.

the most important change is voLTE support, at least here in italy

How do i upgrade from 5.1.1 to 6?

Hey guys,
Rooted phone with TWRP and Xposed.
Purchased in USA (amazon)
About Phone: http://pasteboard.co/Khp5Wg2.png
There are so many threads in DEV (http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x-style/development), sadly I'm not sure which one i should be referring to - Could i please be referred to the correct one?
Also:
AFAIF all i need to do is download the correct file, boot to TWRP and flash the file, that's what i did with my Nexus 5 - is the process still the same? will i need to re-install things like SuperSU/TWRP/Xposed?
if updating the stock via flashing deletes information on the device, is it possible do bypass this and do it in a different way? such as somehow re-enabling OTA?
thank you!

Hey,
thanks for the quick asnwer, there are 4 files for 6.0 there, since i have a single sim card and i got my device in US can i assume this is the right link:
For LA SingleSIM users: XT1572_CLARK_RETLA_6.0_MPH24.49-18_cid12_subsidy-DEFAULT_CFC.xml.zip
Or is there a way to tell from inside the device if i have the LA or EU version?

They only difference between them is the default language ( which you can change )

Wrong thread. LA= Latin America
Go HERE as long as you have an xt1575. Look by your USB port

If I was you. I would download the 5.1.1 stock Twrp backup, flash that. Then fastboot flash the 5.1.1 recovery. After rebooting you should get the two updates. Then re-root after the two OTA updates. By taking the OTA's, I believe your getting some binaries you can't get from the firmwares (rpm.bin, etc).
Or... Just download the last twrp 6.0 backup and flash that. You won't have to worry about recovery then.

If we flash it on g925i can we root by chainfire's cf autoroot?

Can i flash it directly over the existing 6.0.1 fw? Will the knoxx flag trigger in this case?

No guarantees it will flash properly. It depends on the size of the hidden partition. I would wait for a debranded firmware like BTU or XEU.

Bro did u flash complete firmware or skipped CSC??
Can the firmware be flashed over 925I model?? Since the hardware is same I guess it shouldn't be a problem??

Thanks for your input @ joecool666 and @lynxblaine.
This morning I just received the 7 OTA on my device and is installing as we speak. It's aprox 200MB smaller than on the S7e (i'm on S6e).

For anyone interested.. I flashed this last night.. but it FAILED on hidden partition... had to emergency repair it. I'm using g925f in the UK on Vodafone..
Edit...
I flashed the UK Vodafone from sammobile

can i flash it with odin or i must install twrp recovery first?

has anyone tried secure folder app ?
I've installed it from Sammobile but it does not run saying "unauthorised"

I made a video of all the new features and the whole new design with nougat
if anybody is interested here you go
i know its the flat version but the firmwares are quite similar

Of course, because knox was tripped.

Flash it with Odin. Why would you install TWRP for the purpose of updating to Nougat Official?
Does not make sense. Hence, good luck and happy flashing official OS 7.

No one can confirm for the moment.
But there are already reports saying that they flash TWRP and Magisk for root then installed Magisk Manager from Play Store.

Yes

Do I need to download the USA mirror versions or just download the primary? Also can you give me a step by step process of this. this will be my first time rooting a phone so I want to make sure I do it right. Is the first download for the bootloader? If so, does it work, because i thought that since the bootloader was locked it wouldn't. Thank you in advance!!!!

@PillowTalk420 - when you rooted after this update, what bootloader did you use?

My Samsung S7 is asking to apply the G930TTMB4BQE1 update. Did anybody already install it?

Sorry for my ignorance, but i need install all these files por only i need one?
