[Q] Rooting the SM-G900S

Hi
I was wondering if anyone can help with a small problem? I have a S5 the model number is SM-G900S_V01
I understand this is the Samsung Galaxy S5 SM-G900S (Korea version) I wanted to root it and apply another ROM as there are some aspects of the ROM that fall short of the European version.
I have a couple of questions really, and would be most thankful if someone could answer them for me.
When I try to root the device by holding the Volume Down, Power and Home Buttons the the screen as seen below, lots of writing I can't understand, I am guessing it's Korean!
Try as I might I cannot get Odin to see the phone, the only other way I can change this screen is to hold the Volume Up, Power and Home buttons, then I get the other screen, I think this is the recovery screen and not something I need. So my questions are as follows:
1 Can I install the European version of the OS even though it's region is set to Korea?
2 Can anyone tell me how to get into the download screen so I can get Odin to work?
Thanks in advance for any help you maybe able to give me.

Yeah!
I have the same problem.

So...
is there some solution for this problem?

SO many knowledgeable people on here and no one can answer this question. I have searched google and all xda still nothing. Surely someone must know if we can install the SM-G900F uk stock firmware on the SM-G900S korean version

Yea....
I have the SAME phone. i need to kno how to update it so i can root it and move the hell on from this stock factory crap...

Maybe you all already know, but there is CF-Auto-Root for the SM-G900S.
And TowelRoot may also work for this device ... if its firmware is not too new. (Samsung patchd its latest firmware versions so that the exploit which TowelRoot uses for rooting.)
Sorry if the info comes too late ...

I'm in the same ship , i have the same phone . BTW is any way to go in service mode to this phone ?about the towelroot , is not working for the phone with kernel after 3 june , so mine is from 25 june 2014. Hope is someone out here how can help us to make this root !TIA

Help needed !

Do you find something to resolve the phone ? I am in the same situationes like you .

Finally the answer, well I think it is
Okay, after a lot of messing about I can tell you that this phone is a copy from China, it is a good copy at that, but the point being, you can do much with it to be fair. As far as I know there isn't a way to put another rom on it, but I did find these YT vids some help is explaining it all a little bit more.
Hope that helps someone

Bought Soyan M9 smartwatch a month back but still struggling to dowload/create new watch faces.
Google alot if any tool is available but didn't found.
I am also not sure what is operating system on it but suspecting tencent OS. However if any tool is not available and i suspect this is MTK processor based device so anyone can tell me if i can install Andorid on it.
Could not get even hardware Specs of the watch.

Some info about Soyan M9.
i hav asked same questions to supplier and have got below reply.
I had response you later,have not you got it?But no worry,i can send it again.Here is the reply for our supplier,
1.This is Taiwan MTK mediatek chips, cosmos Slim function machine and PDA system software package.
2.The APP name Mediatek smart devices.You can go to Google Play or Apple Store download it.
3.the chip: MT6260 ,frequency :350 M,it can support GPRS and MMS, WAP and so on.
4.There are three watch faces,you can provide 240 * 240 pixels image here if you want download more faces,our supplier can built into the software.
However i didn't get how to update or upgrade firmware.
MT6250 / MT6260 base smartwatches are from ZGPAX also. Can i install other MTK devices firmware.. I would appriciate if someone can explain if i can install android on it.
Thanks in advance.

Soyan M9 smartwatch firmware
Worst product service so far. I bought watch couple of months back but took long time to know about hardware.
This watch is dead totally and I kept asking for firmware so I can flash the watch to make it work again.
It's almost more than 20 times now that I asked for firmware but those Support people unable to understand my mail.
Unfortunately I have to take help from outside the soyan support. I request if anyone who bought this watch, can able to backup firmware and share me.
I would recommend to take backup of firmware anyway because after bricking of watch you won't able to get from soyan support.
If would appreciate if anyone can help and provide me firmware.

Firmware
Anyone in this forum who is using soyan m9 smartwatch. If yes then pls take backup of firmware using flash tool and help me providing the link.

you're the only one posting in this topic, i'm afraid you're on your own....
maybe we should put a sticky topic in this "Other smartwatches" section "DON'T FLASH YOU CHINESE WATCH"

Well, if you have soyan m9 watch then you can take backup of firmware using flash tool. Also can help me providing backed up firmware.

Thank you for your kind support. Backup can be done using Flash Tool. Below is one of the youtube video to perform the same. It is also good to have backup as we never know when it could be needed to restore.

No phone calls?

Hey guys, I come here very often and now I'm going to have to open this thread because I've seen absolutely no posts about my problem..
My S6 Edge+ is currently unable to make any calls and I don't know why..:crying: the strange part is that I can still send text messages and use my SIM's mobile data... Another weird thing is that whenever I reboot the phone, my WiFi passwords are forgotten..
Can any one help me? I'm currently running android 6.0.1 and I am considering downgrading it to 5.0.1 to see if it solves the issue...

Still needing help..
No one?? I really need some help since I've tried 4 different roms and modems ano nothing seems to work....

Have you wiped everything and then flashed a stock rom?

Which variant do you have and which MM firmware did you flash? Check your modem, imei, network operator etc and provide that info here.
Also wifi password IMO related with
Code:
ro.securestorage.support=true
this line in build.prop. I would suggest you to add this line under 'ADDITIONAL_BUILD_PROPERTIES' in build.prop but assume you havent rooted your device. If have, add it.

I've downgraded to 5.1.1 and it didn't work, I have the international version of the s6 edge plus and now I'm looking for a new ROM to test to see if I can solve it.. I've checked my imei in two different websites and on imei.info it comes clear, but the other site gives me a blacklisted warning, which makes me think since I bought it online second hand... it probably was reported stolen or lost and now it's blocked... which ise rather inconvenient. .
If I go to SIM Card Status it says "Not Available" everywhere, but on imei information it says my imei and on IMEISV the value is 01. It's network unlocked and right now I'm about to flash a new ROM, probably stock..

Hello, I have the same problem at boot after I receive the call when making a call nothing remains of numbering you have a solution? thank you cordially guillaume

Hi guys, I know this is a really old thread but I'm here just to say that the problem was with the IMEI, it was blacklisted..
I changed it with a friend and then everything worked fine..
Thanks for you help mates!

On a locked bootloader you can only get back to your exact device build or update. So just the Sm s820L (current api or above) from Sammobile.

Hey guys. I've had this phone for a while on a deodexed rom with busybox. Anyway about 1.5 months ao I had some financial trouble and had to let the service go for a little over a month. When I bough a new airtime card I noticed that the phone was nolonger picking up any type of signal when it had alway shown a strong signal even when I had no time on it. I thought maybe it was because I needed to reactivate it or something so I added the airtime card (the $50 unlimited, it's on net10 by the way) but still can't get it to find any kind of signal. I've been wracking my brain trying to figure out why and so far nothing. I have restored with a previouse TWRP backup, factory reset and tried reinstalling the rom but nothing has helped. Any imput would be greatly apreciated

Hey guys!
I'm fresh to these forums but I've been into modding my SM-S820L for a while.
I have a couple of posts over at needrom.com with firmware and unofficial TWRP release for the SM-S820L.
Head over there and check it out.

Same thing happened to me. It took them 4 weeks to fix it. They fixed the faulty motherboard free of cost. It is under warranty by my experience... is your device still in warranty??

Have you tried installing a fresh new custom rom ? I had the same problem, but after I wiped everything and installed a new rom it was fixed.

Or try using Xposed Module to change IMEI

My Lenevo k6power 4gb has been quoted a problem of reversed current in motherboard and due to this my mobile phone gats heated within fraction of seconds after connecting to charging.
If battery is not connected to motherboard then also it's got heated within few seconds of charging.
Please help me

You have to restore your baseband.
Read the tutorial below, don't get your mainboard replaced.
The service center guys probably don't know what has to be done or they're trying to fool you.
