Unlocking bootloader SM G901F - Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Can this even be done? I'm trying to install the xposed framework for my Samsung Galaxy plus, but I can't seem to find a single guide on how to unlock the bootloader in order to install custom recovery through TWRP. Any help would be appreciated.

The bootloader is already unlocked, simply flash twrp via odin.

he means deodexing ?! I also have problems installing Xposed Framework. Can not you get around playing a deodextes ROM? I have the original firmware on it. (Sorry, translated by Google translator from German) Thanks

[Q] G900R7 problem

I have a Samsung Galaxy S5 G900R7 rooted with towelroot. I want to flash twrp custom recovery but I'm not sure which way I should do this. I tried to use twrp's Google play app but it didn't have my phone's "codename". I had a rooted s4 with twrp and cm so I'm not a complete newbie. I just need a little help figuring out how I should do this.
Please help.
So far, only Dev. Edition S5 with an unlocked bootloader can flash a custom recovery like TWRP. More than likely you have yourself a retail version of the phone with a locked bootloader like the rest of us. The closest to a custom recovery we can get is Safestrap. I dont really know if the g900r7 is identical to the g900v so i would use caution of you want to try any of the methods here in this forum for root or to flash safestrap. A quick google search for your phone didnt provide much detail about it.

How To Flash A Custom Rom from Stock? {SGS 4 4g i19506}

Hello, I am new to this rooting and flashing stuff on the Samsung Galaxy s4 4G, and i just wanted to know how i can flash a 5.X.X custom rom from the stock 4.4.2 rom from the very beginning.
It would be nice if someone could post a link to a tutorial or something i can follow to flash my phone.
I have read some of the guides but i cannot understand what to do as the instructions seem to advanced.
Thank you
First you need a custom recovery. I recommend TWRP. Just google TWRP S4 and it will take you to the S4 section. There you have the download link and some install instructions. I recommend using the Odin method.
Then you need Odin. Odin 3.09 or 3.10 works. Sorry I cannot post links, I'm on mobile and it's pretty tricky getting everything together.
Flashing a custom recovery or rom is pretty much the same for all S4 models (with a few exceptions).
Installing the recovery is the most difficult part if you're a beginner. Installing the custom rom is as simple as selecting it and confirming the procedure.
Can i install TRWP recovery without rooting my phone?
Currently i have updated to the stock 5.0.1 rom and am trying to root my phone to install the custom recovery.
TWRP 2.8.6.0 is available as a tar file flashable through Odin without rooting. From there, upgrade to 2.8.7.0.
So is root required to flash a custom rom? Or can i just flash a TWRP recovery then flash the custom rom from there?
Thank you
Edit: Thank you for your help i have figured it out

Custom and Stock ROMs Question

Hi everyone, I have question that I hope you can answer.
Today I flashed a Custom Recovery and Rooted my Note 3 SM N900. Everything is working fine, I rooted my phone in order to delete apps like trip advisor, s health among other apps. But I've seen that there are 6.0 ROMs for my phone. I've seen many tutorials and I would like to flash a custom ROM. (I'm thinking on flashing Resurrection Remix 5.1.1 for my SM N900). I already made my efs folder backup.
So, my question is this. When I decide to go back to a stock ROM (Lollipop Samsung Touchwiz the one I currently have) do I need to do something extra? Like, I would be able to flash a sotck samsung ROM through TWPR recovery for example? or what I need to do is just flash through odin?
Could you please tell me what I need to know on this cases?
Thank you very much! :good:
just flash with odin and you r good to go

And What about the bootloader? Do I Need to unlock it if I want to install any custom ROM? I installed TWRP recovery on my phone, then I Rooted the phone. The steps that I've seen on the Internet to flash a Custom ROM doesn't have a step that unlocks bootloader or so.
Or the bootloader is unlocked since I rooted the phone? I'm confused. I really appreciated if you or someone could explain this doubt.
Thanks in advance. :good:
N900 is already factory bootloader unlocked

Using a bootloader unlock app could brick the phone. The only note 3 I know of with a locked bootloader is the AT&T Sm-900a.

My goal is simply to unlock the boot-loader, then download the TWRP manager from the play store afterwards so I can install Xposed framework and so on. The note 3 is running on Android Lolipop 5.0. Any method of instruction would be appreciated. Thanks.

Core Prime model SM-G360F – unlock bootloader

Dear ladies and gentlemen.
I went through the forum and did not find how to unlock the bootloader in my Samsung Core Prime model SM-G360F. Could somebody of you please upload an application suitable for it?
I want to root it and install another ROM. I have installed KingRoot and successfully rooted my phone.
Is it necessary to unlock the bootloader before rooting the phone? Do I need to unlock it and when (before or after rooting)?
Thank you for your kind responses.

Unlike Sony, Samsung devices don't have bootloader. Just flash recovery through Odin and root with SuperSU zip.

On Samsung devices, it's useless to unlock bootloader, because there's no bootloader. You can flash TWRP on it just with ODIN (it's like fastboot, but isn't )
