After digging through XDA, there wasn't many root methods available to us Canadian users of the i9000m! This procedure roots your phone and installs ClockworkMod Recovery.
Requirements:
Your device must be running on the latest Gingerbread KG3 Firmware. If not, please update with Kies.
Samsung Drivers
1. Download the files (Found below)
Odin3-v1.85
KG3-CWM-Kernel.tar
2. Run Odin as an administrator. In Odin, select PDA and open the KG3-CWM-Kernel.tar file. Auto-reboot and F.reset should be the ONLY things ticked off. Do not close out of Odin.
3. Enter Download mode on your phone. Press VOLUME DOWN + HOME + POWER all together until you reach the download mode screen on your phone.
4. Plug in your download mode phone into the computer. Make sure Odin recognizes your phone. It will show up in the "ID:COM" on the left side to verify the connection. The text box should also say "Added!". Press start.
5. Do not touch your phone. Wait until your phone reboots to disconnect your phone. You should now see the new app SuperUser.
And that's it! This procedure will only take seconds. Now you can flash ROMS and update your phone to Jelly Bean.
To enter ClockworkMod, hold down VOLUME UP + HOME + POWER.
Thanks... was looking for that TAR file as a friend of mine wants to root his good ol' GS1
Works perfectly, Thank you.
I follow this guide but my phone keeps rebooting itself and the Galasy S screen keep showing up for about 3 seconds then it reboot again. Help!

No, it was i9000 my bad. I manage to make it working again flashing the stock GB rom from Optus Australia. I'm sorry I never root the GS1 before this is my 1st time. Now it said firmware version is 2.3.6, baseband XWJW1, build XWJW6. How can I root it now?

You need to download the cf root from the android development section for your JW6 firmware.
Recently had my s7 edge rooted with the guide that says root and knox still good.
Just used the part of the guide where it says unroot I'm back on stock firmware but now I can't take an Ota it fails and I can't use samsung pay. I was wondering if I did something wrong or there is a step in missed and need to do ?
Thanks in advance for any and all help.
You have to Odin a stock firmware.
That's what I did
What does Settings - About phone - Status - "Phone status" say? It should say "Official".
Also booting to Download Mode (phone off, hold Power/Vol Down/Home at same time, then press Vol Up when prompted) to confirm that "System Status" should read "Samsung Official" or "Official".
You can also install this app, KNOX Status Samsung, and it'll tell you your Knox Status.
If Knox is not valid, you will not be able to use Samsung Pay, and once Knox is tripped, there is no undoing that.
Only reason I can't be on root either is because even with all the power saving functions I've had enabled through root, it didn't have as good battery saving as stock unrooted.
But yeah, try to make sure you didn't do something to trip KNOX.
Yeah that's the odd thing I downloaded the knox checker and it says the warranty is valid

I'm not seeing anything in the Verizon Root Guide w/ Knox Good where it says anything about unrooting, so I assume you flashed the official phone firmware via ODIN? What version firmware did you flash? Did you get the stock firmware files from this thread here?
My apologies this was the thread that I used for unroot

Does your baseband version match your build number? You only need to look at the last 3 digits. If they don't match then you flashed the wrong update file onto your phone.

Here you go this might work I found this on the regular s7 forum........
For those of you who want to go back to stock and are having trouble with any updates i have found a fix.
(only do this if u want to go 100% back to stock and want to update to current software and future updated software. If u want to stay on PG2 software and never update, then ignore this post)
In the instructions on how to flash back to stock, the OP only included 3 files u had to flash using Odin (AP, CP and CSC). follow those steps up to the point where everything is flashed back to stock and your phone has rebooted to home screen. After that,power off your phone and restart to download screen (hold home, power button and volume down at same time)
once u are booted to the download mode screen, open odin and select BL and find the BL file that came with your stock folder. Once its loaded, hit start and let Odin flash it. Your phone will reboot and you will be able to update your phone to any new software released.
I had a problem trying to update to PG1 after reflashing to stock. My update would crash at 32%. This will fix that issue.

T Mobile Stock Firmware files
I did a deep dig and managed to come across the attached files from this source (files conveniently contained in .zip below or feel free to download separately from the source):
(Note: these are T Mobile On5 stock firmware)
AP_G550TUVU1APF1.tar.md5
CP_G550TUVU1APF1.tar.md5
OPT_G550TUVU1APF1.tar.md5
on5ltetmo.pit
From what I read.. one should be able to flash with ODIN. However, I would suggest that you already have a good idea of what you're doing (which files to flash and under which tab in ODIN) before flashing your phone.
All the flashing I have done using ODIN I have done so using only the AP tab>make sure Repartition is off>and disable Auto-Boot (all of those instructions can be found in other threads on xda). However, if anyone would like to chime in with any additional pointers that they feel should be posted please do so.
Otherwise.. I hope these will help some of those stuck w/ that MetroPCS firmware.

Watch my youtube tutorial on how to remove frp lock/unbrick samsung on5 (sm-g550t)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c6Yy0f6qtHA&t=4s
Did you guys make sure to click the oem unlock in developer options? Without doing so Odin will always come back with a fail as samsung has locked the boot loader. To enable developer options go to about device and tap on the build version until you see a small pop up on the bottom of the screen saying developer options enabled or something to that nature. Then go back to settings and developer options will be available right above the about device section. Open developer options and scroll down and click one unlock. Once you have done so the try flashing with Odin. Reminder... oem unlock should remain clicked at all times or else &it won't work. Hope this helps.

Yea then if you updated then you may need to use another firmware file. I know that sammobile hasn't even released the one I have in my videos, so I believe you're gong to have some problems finding the upgraded firmware. I could be wrong though.

how to do this
I have a Galaxy On5 --Metro PCS version---
How can I disable or remove the update notices which sit in Application Manager and continually pop up and in the top Notification bar? I have checked all the videos on Youtube but nothing works.
My On5 is not rooted (I am happy enough with the stock version, I'm just worried about letting the update go through and messing up my phone.) I don't think the update's downloaded TO my phone. I can't find it and the notification keeps asking me to liberate more space for its download....
How to get rid of it and just stay with the original OS. Thanks for your help!
The system.img in this firmware is corrupt.
I want to flash it by SD Card is it possible?

Hello everyone
Please bear me with me for I am a dinosaur that grew up with Symbian phones, then was forced to use Windows phones and now recently converted to Android, therefore not an expert in this field.
Bought the Note 4 off ebay in UK. Mobile banking app and Android Pay say my phone is rooted however Root Checker says it isn't . I have tried to update to Marshmallow through ODIN but I get the FAIL Auth error every time I try...
In settings the phone shows up as N910F however it is a N910V ... I do need help to figure out the precise model though just to make sure I am installing the correct software.
Also, I am using a Lebara SIM card (partners with Vodafone) here in UK, not sure if that matters.
Would really appreciate if someone would have the patience to guide me how to install Marshmallow on my phone, I just want a clean one and no rooting. Tried different tutorials on the internet but none worked for me or I am surely doing something wrong.
Many thanks in advance!

Hi Andy I'm also in the UK with note 4. To find out the correct model you need to boot to download mode. Power off the phone, Hold volume down + home + power together. It will boot to download mode and from there it will show you the model.
Post your correct model here and I will post the firmware with the correct steps to flash.

Here is the stock marshmallow firmware for your device.
Download and unzip the firmware. Place it in odin in AP. In odin options enable auto reboot and uncheck repartition. Put phone in download mode, connect to pc and start.
Thanks for the firmware , that worked like a charm. Is it possible to install a non-Verizon version on this phone? One that does not have the Verizon preloaded apps?
Also, do you know anything about the Note 4 getting the Nougat update?

You can only flash firmware for your device which is N910V. Which means unfortunately you can only flash verizon firmware. However you can root your phone and use titanium backup to remove the bloat.
As for the N update I have read and heard rumours that we will get it but I don't have my hopes up. Even though the Note 4 is 2 years old it's still a high end device. It hasn't been officially announced yet. Only been announced for s6/s7 and future releases

1st download the firmware.
Download odin, latest version is fine but I use v3.10.6
On phone settings go to about device, tap build number 7 times until developer options is there, go on developer options and enable USB debugging.
Plug phone to pc to make sure drivers are up to date.
Once firmware is downloaded unzip it.
Power off phone and put into download mode, vol down + home + power.
Open odin and click AP, insert the firmware. Odin options should be, re partition UNCHECKED, auto reboot checked, f reset time checked.
Plug phone into pc, in odin log it will say added with blue box saying com:3 or similar.
Press start and it will flash and reboot. The first boot can loop a few times or hang on the Samsung logo for a little while it's normal.
If it hangs for more than 15 minutes remove the battery for a few minutes then power on again and it will boot.
If you get any errors or are unsure let me know.

Hi Guys,
Im litterlay close to breaking down after trying to get Lineageos 14.1 running on my G900V verizon S5 for more than 12 hours now.
I followed various youtube tutorials and the guide given in this article https://forum.xda-developers.com/ve...al/guide-painiacs-essential-guide-to-t3319848.
The last thing i tried was unlocking the bootloder following a yt tutorial... now the phone pretty much freezes when booting showing the galaxy s5 and the custom android logo, it even plays the booting sound of samsung but after nothing happens. All i tried since was trying to get it back to stock 4.4.2 but when i use ODIN it gives me the error " sw rev check fail aboot fused 2 binary 1".
At the moment i literally lost hope to ever get nougat to run on this f***kin verizon phone, all i want is to get it to run again on something newer than 4.4.4 :crying:
I´ll be so glad for any help and if you could even help me get 14.1 to run on it id love you guys for ever.
Edit: I can still get into recovery and download mode but cant get into safestrap anymore, but i do have a backup of the system 4.4.2 with root and safestrap on my pc would there be a way to use that?

It means that you've flashed a firmware newer than BOK3 at least once.
No chance to flash 4.4.2 with Odin any more.
If you just need a working VZW phone - simply download a stock firmware BOK3 or newer and flash it with Odin.
The first boot will take 15 min or so.
If you need something else - tell what you would like to have.
wow simple as that? well awesome but then what would you recommend me to do next? is there a way to still get cm 14.1 on the verizonphone or should i just go with stock 6.1 and accept all the verizon bloatware bulls** :/
@Marv95
I cannot recommend anything, you have to decide yourself.
But the first thing you need is to have a working phone back and check the CID of your device.
If it's 15 then you'll be able to install LOS. If it's 11 - you won't.
I'd have a look at this topic. No need to flash back a stock firmware, you may begin with COMBINATION_VZW_FA44_G900VVRU2APA1
Well awesome thanks so far, ill check the cid :good: do you have a link where i can get the G900VVRU2BOK3 - GALAXY S5 SM-G900V VZW USA firmware the sammobile download takes 2 hours
Edit: https://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-galaxy-s5/development/vzwstock-based-tw-rom-t3281095 , this a right one (VZW_BOK3_ODEX_DEODEX_V2.zip)??

well first of all thank you so much the phone is working again but sadly cid shows 11 so no cm14.1...guess 13 wont work then either? will have a closer look for what to do next this evening my goal would be the most uptodate firmware (german language support would be the dream since somehow this verizonfirmware [like the old 4.4.4] only supports english)

The locked bootloader (that cannot be unlocked) matters, not CM/LOS version.
The locked bootloader cannot boot unsigned kernel, that's why you're limited to Touchwiz-based roms only.

German? Not a big problem. So Verizon is not your provider?

Well, I'm in the similar boat.
Let's see and decide. Netzclub means O2 network, which means B20 band for LTE, which is definitely not supported by device. So we can forget it.
German general CSC is DBT.
Ok, I'd say, your choice is this stock-like cleaned ROM for SM-G900F and the latest DQF2 firmware for SM-G900V. CSC must be DBT.
It's a little tricky to flash, but possible.
You'll have a phone that looks like F variant with German and so on.
But you won't have root.
Do you need root?

Ok so root the device, get custom recovery, install the rom and then flash the firmware G900FXXS1CQD4 - GALAXY S5 SM-G900F DBT Germany (Sammobile [CSC: G900FDBT1CQA1] even though its not for verizon phone) with odin?

Good decision.
Sorry, I'm a little busy at the moment, but I'll give you some directions ASAP.
You need to download:
1. This service firmware.
2. Alexndr's firmware (G900FXXU1CQG1_DevBase_v4.3.zip)
You do have Odin already.
You'll need some more files, I'll prepare them for you a little later.
Here we go.
1. Check if Reactivation Lock is disabled. Charge the battery to more than 50%.
2. Download Odin (you should already have it) and COMBINATION_VZW_FA44_G900VVRU2APA1_VZW2APA1_2572656_REV00_user_mid_noship_MULTI_CERT.tar.md5 (link is in my previous post).
3. Download applications and firmware files - CID11_DBT.zip
4. Download ROM file - G900FXXU1CQG1_DevBase_v4.3.zip (link is in my previous post).
5. Run Odin.exe.
6. Select COMBINATION_VZW_FA44_G900VVRU2APA1_VZW2APA1_2572656_REV00_user_mid_noship_MULTI_CERT.tar.md5 in Odin's AP slot, boot the phone into the download (Odin) mode, connect with USB cable to the computer, press Start, wait till the flash process is finished. Press Exit and wait for the phone to complete reboot.
7. Disconnect USB cable from the phone and connect again.
8. Unzip CID11_DBT.zip into the CID11_DBT forlder on the Desktop.
9. Copy everything from CID11_DBT folder to the root of phone's internal memory. IMPORTANT: options.prop should appear in the root of phone's memory, not in a subdirectory.
(Root means that root which you can see in your Windows File Explorer, not the absolute root from the phone's side. Really it's /sdcard/ from the phone's side.)
10. Copy ROM file G900FXXU1CQG1_DevBase_v4.3.zip to the root of phone's internal memory.
11. Disconnect the cable from the phone.
12. Press Menu (dotted button) - My Files - All - RootS5.
13. Apex_Launcher.apk - Settings - Unknown Sources - Ok - Back - Apex_Launcher.apk - Next - Install - Done.
14. BusyBox.apk - Install - Done.
15. Safestrap_KK.apk - Install - Done.
16. tr_v2.apk - Install - Open - make it rain (a message "You should have root, no reboot required" should appear) - Back.
17. Superuser.apk - Install - Open - Continue - Normal - Reboot.
18. After reboot, in the pop-up window - Apex Launcher - Always - Ok.
19. Menu (dotted button) - BusyBox Free - Grant - close balloon - Install - close balloon - Back.
20. Safestrap - Grant - Agree - Install Recovery - Reboot to recovery. Wait patiently for SafeStrap Recovery to boot.
21. Swipe to Allow modifications - Wipe - Advanced Wipe - Dalvik/Data/Cache - Swipe to Wipe.
22. Back - Back - Back - Install, install G900FXXU1CQG1_DevBase_v4.3.zip.
23. Back - Back - Mount - check System.
24. Back - Advanced - File manager - go to /sdcard/ and copy these files:
- /sdcard/build.prop - to /system/;
- /sdcard/others.xml - to /system/CSC/;
- /sdcard/others.xml - to /system/CSC/DBT/system/csc/.
25. Go to /system/, highlight build.prop, change file's permissions to 0644 (chmod 0644).
26. Go to /system/CSC/, highlight others.xml, change file's permissions to 0644 (chmod 0644).
27. Go to /system/CSC/DBT/system/csc/, highlight others.xml, change file's permissions to 0644 (chmod 0644).
28. Exit File manager pressing Back. In the main menu - Mount - uncheck System - Back - Install.
29. Install DQF2_Firmware_Bootloaders.zip. Then Reboot System - Do not install.
30. The phone will reboot. The first boot takes 10 min. or so.
After all you may erase all the files from the phone's memory or perform a factory reset from menu or Recovery.

One more question somewhere between step 23 and 28 would it have been possible to install newest emoji package or even iphone emojis into systemfiles? or is it to late to just do all the steps above again
because i feel like i now see even less emotes than before
1. It cannot be late to revert the things back as you haven't done anything irreversible.
You can at any moment just flash a stock Verizon firmware and get a "stock" phone.
You can at any moment start with my guide from the beginning too.
2. You're right, after 23 but before 28 you have full access to /system and can install or copy something there.
3. Generally, you can leave Safestrap Recovery in the system.
On the one hand, you'll be able to access system files from time to time when you need.
On the other hand, some apps with higher security demands may not work (say, bank applications or so).
If you decide you need it, you'll have to install it after 22 before 23. Let me know and I'll give you necessary files.
P.S. I don't know what "emoji package" is. Maybe it can be installed as app or font or something that does not need direct /system access. It's always a good idea to place your data to /data, not to /system.
