HELP! Marshmallow Update Problems! (G900T) - Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi, so I just attempted to update my t mobile Galaxy S5 (G900T) to the just released official marshmallow update using Samsung SmartSwitch, and now my phone won't boot past the t mobile logo. I have already tried the recommendations of clearing the cache and doing a factory reset with no affect. This phone is way out of warranty, so does anyone know of a way to recover or even have a link to the stock touchwiz 6.0 or even 5.1.1 flash-able roms? I don't want to install a custom ROM as I would lose the auto ISO detection functionality.

try doing a factory reset, which should allow you to use the phone.

reread the OP, I have already tried that with no affect. It's looking like I will have to flash the stock lollipop which I just found, I can't find the flash-able file for stock marshmallow.

had this problem

Turn off phone remove battery for 20 secs then odin tar then boom your good

So I tried again from the automatic download method this time:
The phone booted, but I just got a bunch of boxes that say "the system UI has crashed" or "google play services has crashed"
$$$$ you tmobile! How the $$$$ can you release a such a $$$$$ update?

[Q] 4.2 Update Failure

Hoping someone can help. After stopping the Google Framework service and clearing data, my 7 will find and download the 4.2 update. When installing the update, at about 25% complete, the Android logo with the red triangle shows up and I have to do a reset to get it to reboot. The update is never found without stopping the framework service. This is a completely stock 7 if it helps.
If this has been answered before I apologize. I did search and didn't see the same issue out there.
Thanks.

You said you are completely stock, meaning you have never unlocked, rooted, installed a custom recovery, frozen apps, etc., correct? Unless you got a bad download it should install just fine. Did you get any sort of error message? That can help determine what failed. Be careful with stopping and clearing the framework settings. You will have to delete your Google account and sign back in to be able to use the Play Store again.

Take a look at the 'Nexus 7 Update Problem' thread in this forum. You may just have to install a factory image for 4.1.2 or 4.2.

The only thing I have done is put in my gmailaccount. Thats it. No error messages just the triangle.
I have deleted my google account and made several resets but with the same outcome.
I had a similar issue, before the update it does a comparison of certain system files and system apk's and if it fails it gives you the red exclamation mark.I ended up talking apart a 4.1.2 factory image and replacing various apk's but i had to install twrp in order to find out which ones were bad.
I wouldnt be to keen to update at this point,other than the multiuser function there really isnt anything of benefit in 4.2.
Same here.
I just got my Nexus 7 back from Asus (again...). Factory reset with 4.1.2. Signed in with my Google account, got the update notification, tried to update after it downloaded, N7 rebooted, started process, Android dead with red triangle. Completely reset to factory specs again, signed in with Google account, stopped all downloads and updates, tried update again, same thing.
I'm going to try one more time by not signing in after another factory reset (if I can...never tried it) and see if that does the trick, but I'm not hopeful.
EDIT: It didn't work. Only other thing I can think of is that I'm plugged into a PC (trickle-charge) and because you have to be plugged in to apply the update, MAYBE it's failing during the install due to lack of full power coming through the charge cable. No other reasons I can think of at this point. Anyone else trying to update while on trickle charge? If so, anyone try on full A/C power?
Are you in the US?
Wondering if it's because I am in a foreing country. :thumbdown:

I got notification out of the blue that the update was available. It failed again. I did a factory data reset hoping that would help. Tried the update again after installing NO apps. Failed again.
Any other suggestions?
I'm having the same issue. I wanted to keep my N7 stock and unrooted, but I may just have to root it and flash the update manually via recovery. It's kinda of a bummer.

I tried with a VPN and didn't work.
I'm still receiving the OTA update and every single time it fails.
Then I tried the recovery mode and didn't work.
I'm quitting on this.

Yes. I had the same issue (similar story to SWBailey), and the only way I could get the update was by flashing Google factory stock 4.2.1.
I have the same problem in Spain, I bougth the tablet (32G) last week. The attach image show you more information about the problem.
same issue, fastboot or root!
i have the same issue... a couple off guys recomended fastboot(doesnt need root as far as i get it)i... i think it might be do to having a 32gb but no 3g version, which i think is only available in countries other than usa... im from serbia for instance im probably gonna end up rooting it and flashing a custom rom
I called to the Asus support, and they sent me an email with the following instructions, I can´t finished all the steps because in the step number 5, the tablet never restarts, Something is wrong. I am going to send the tablet to the seller.
1. If the computer is on, please turn it off.
2. Press the power button volume button (-) and the volume button (+)
at the same time;
3. Press the volume button (-) twice to initiate the procedure "
Recovery "
4 Press power button to select.
5: After you restart the recovery mode hold the button
on and the volume button (+)
6. Use the volume keys to select the option to wipe data / factory reset "and press
the power button to select that option.
7 Scroll down to the Yes option. to clear the data and press the
on to select that option.
Same here...completely stock too! Tried 3 times... :/
If it doesn't work the fourth time, I will try to return it for a new one. Still in my 14 days..

Fingerprint scanner completely stopped working

I have a stock rooted Galaxy s5. For a while now the fingerprint scanner would stop reading fingerprints (nothing would be detected when swiped, no "no match" or "swipe faster" type errors, just no reading at all). This was always fixed by simply rebooting the device. That was until now. After encountering that error again I rebooted the phone. Now it appears to scan the fingerprint but won't match. I've tried all three of the fingers I have registered with the same results. I also can't access the fingerprint manager. When I try to access the fingerprint manager it won't match the fingerprints and says I have the wrong alternative password (which obviously I don't since I was able to bypass the lock screen with it). It does accept the alternate password when I tried to change the password but when I press the last "OK" to change the password it says " an error has occurred with the fingerprint sensor. If this message appears repeatedly, restart your device". I have restarted more than once.
Has anyone experienced anything similar to this? is this a defective sensor? I have unlimited data and had to use a loophole to upgrade to this phone so getting support form verizon might be a bit difficult.
finger print scanner tab s
Hello. You bet i have! Just tonight. I have a rooted samsung tab s, I was receiving the exact error messages that you speak of. Swipe slower, blah blah. Now, my tablet will not offer fingerprint scanner- it just disappeared entirely! And my alternative password says it is incorrect when I know it isnt. It doesnt give me an option to retrieve my password either! So, no fingerprint scanner, and incorrect alt password- im hooped! I cannot get into my 600$ tablet that I am currently using for online courses!
Please, if anyone can help me get into my tablet, I will forever be grateful!
I just installed lollipop, not sure if that would have anything to do with it? Another recent install was inbox gmail.
Please what can I do?
Disappointed
Stuck on my s3 for all of my homework too!
Irritated
I have same problem since 1 week.

You need to flash the aroma add-on package. From there, try to select/install an add-on that states "finger print(or something close to the term)". That's what i've done.

he said nothing about a custom rom. He is using stock rooted, so flashing an aroma add-on package will not help.

need help.. my s7 edge cant install any apps or games

after rooting and install xposed everything going fine.. instaled any apps or games.. removing bloatware.. then i power off device at night and when i power on.. it cant install anything on playstore.. (error code: -505) and cant install any downloaded apps or games from web or sd card..
any solution for this?
I'm thinking that while you were debloating your S7e, you may have deleted an app necessary for the system installer.
In the past I had an LG G4, and when I debloated it, I deleted a system app, this ended in bootloop after a system reboot.
My best advice, reinstall the latest firmware via odin and this should do the trick.
I had the exact same problem.i was starting to think it xposed wanam installer 86.1 but not 100 shure

I had to flash a backup i had
Flashing again and its done.. but i think after rooting its a bit laggy.. comparing in opening some apps with note 3... flashing again.. before root its very smooth and fast.. after rooting it become a bit lag... compare while opening menu on same application with note 3.. s7e 2 second slower..

HELP! Final Nougat pooched my phone!

I was on the Nougat beta, and I just updated to the new non-beta G930PVPU4BQAA.
Now my phone reboots itself after a minute or less of use. I can get as far as my home screen, but soon after it just restarts.
I tried safe mode, but same thing.
It might be because I had disable some apps with Package Disable, and forgot to re-enable them and/or disable admin on that app ... I seem to remember reading this might cause issues. I also have My Knox installed, if that makes a difference.
I also had some theme installed.
Any way to fix, or do I have to factory reset?
Try booting recovery and clearing cache

Why does music playback glitch out when turning off the screen?

Every time I turn off the screen while music is playing , there is a short (<1s) glitch/skip/interruption in playback.
I've had this happen on both stock kernel and Veno's kernels which I am currently using, so I think we can safely assume it's not ralated to the kernel.
I tried all the usual like cache/dalvik wipe, cold booting, setting Google Music as a system app, using it as a user app and adding it the the list of protected app in Huawei's power manager, even a factory reset but nothing fixes this.
One weird thing is that for a while, this behavior stopped by itself for a few days only to come back a few days later.
Running stock b170, Meticulus TWRP, Magisk rooted, systemless Xposed, Viper4Android (via Magisk, as a system app)
Any ideas? It's bugging me like crazy.
It's from the audio drivers.

Ok, and is there a fix?
All of the sudden and without me doing anything at all, music playback no longer skips when turning off the screen. What the.
Later edit: the glitch is back.
Just a small shameless bump.
I have the same problem.

Setting my music app to not close in the close battery when locked setting under battery. That I have already tried but it's not working. My music still cuts off when I lock my phone. The widget sometimes disappear from the lock screen too.
my phone is rooted and was wondering if any app out there could prevent this annoying problem from happening...
