Watchdog bark unknown upload mode? - Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Does anyone know what causes this and how to stop it from happening
I was on PB1 rooted rom by JrKruse and flashed a g900f system img in flashfire then flashed a g900f nougat rom and nougat gapps onto my device with flashfire I have been experiencing this error off and on for the last couple days with other roms and firmware versions

It's most likely and probably because you're flashing/installing ROM's/images that aren't made for the VERIZON SM-G900V. Especially builds that aren't released by DEV's that know what they're doing...... Lol

What's needed to flash the latest 5.0.2 roms?

Hello, could someone tell me exactly what is needed to flash the latest lollipop roms? I'm running TWRP 2.8.3.0 and supersu 2.40 yet I'm unable to flash any 5.0.2 roms since I get an error in recovery saying "error in executing updater binary in zip". I think my brother was running 2.8.2.0 and had the same error message.
I had no trouble flashing the initial 5.0 lollipop roms and just recently tried flashing a 5.0.2 rom after running 4.4.2 xdabbeb for a while.
What exactly do I need to do or update to flash the latest roms and how to I fix this error?
Thank you
Recently experienced same thing. Even thought I lost root. In my case it was a newer app. Don't know how or why. Uninstalled app and all was fine. Could flash roms again. Hope ? this helps.

As long as you have the correct radio flashed for lollipop refer to my post here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g2/help/error-executing-updater-binary-zip-twrp-t2988604
I describe how I fixed this problem for myself.
D802 eur ,here from cloudy g3 going to 5.0.2 with no problem.Philz touch v5.0.4.7 full wipe and flashed ROM+gapps...
You have to flash the rom(cm12) , the lollipop gapps and Supersu(Zip-file).
If you do not flash Supersu, you WILL loose your Root!!!

[Q] 4.4.2 -> 4.4.5 -> Lollipop? (No OTA) [G900A]

Hello,
I just got a Galaxy S5 ATNT (SM-G900A) version with firmware 4.4.2 and build number KOT49H.G900AUCU2AND3
I want to upgrade it to Lollipop, but from what I had seen, I need to upgrade it to 4.4.4 first, How can I achieve that?
I'm not on the ATNT Network(in result, OTA is not working), As i'm living abroad. My phone is factory unlocked.
I had also found an OTA .zip but it's a NG3 one, so I'm not sure if it's compatible with my device.
Thanks guys! (I'm hoping I could do this via the stock recovery way)
*I mean 4.4.4 at the title
I believe theres some ota zips but im not certain theres a way available thats been posted to do this, most of them use odin to get to stock and then using ota to update, or updating to get root, i havent seen one about just manually updating to 5.0, go give the att s5 general section a peek. Otherwise i'd ask the mods to move this over to the att q&a section, im sure one of the devs in the att s5 section would be happy to help.

Oh, i was incorrect, yes there is a lollipop OTA dump, check the att s5 general section, should be able to sideload.

Hey! Thank you for the reply,
I tried one of the lollipop ota .zips
Named
ATTS5Lollipop.zip
It doesn't install though, when I restart the device it's still on KitKat
Plus the manual ota .zips are for NG3s only,
Are those compatible with my device? (ND3)
NVM,
Downgraded to NCE,
Then upgraded to NG3
Then upgraded to OA1
Then to Lollipop.

SM-G900F Marshmallow Baseband/Modem/Radio

I have a Galaxy S5 (SM-G900F) running CyanogenMod 13.0 nightlies but still on baseband G900FDXU1ANE2 which I believe is the original Lollipop one. I'm having a ton of issues with bluetooth/signal and battery so want to flash the latest marshmallow baseband/radio but the only download I've been able to find is the 1.4gb one which I think is the entire firmware. Anyone got a link to just the flashable baseband?

Hi db579
AFAIK, ANE2 is KitKat
Master @_alexndr keeps a useful post with several Bootloaders, Modems & Kernels at this post that could be useful for you.
Nice regards and good luck.

Great news for those who want to downgrade to 4.4.4 kitkat.

N910T TMOBILE NOTE 4 IS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO DOWNGRADE TO OFFICIAL KITKAT BUT AFTER LOT OF RESEARCH I FOUND WITH N910T2 KITKAT FIRMWARE IT'S POSSIBLE AND I HAVE TESTED IT 100% WORKING.
YOU CAN DOWNGRADE DIRECTLY TO N910T2 KITKAT FIRMWARE NO MATTER YOU ARE ON 5.0 5.1.1 OR 6.0.1
JUST FLASH WITH ODIN N910T2 KITKAT FIRMWARE AND WIPE DATA FACTORY RESET AND WIPE CACHE IMMEDIATELY AFTER FLASH.
N910T2 FIRMWARE RUNS FLAWLESS ON N910T AND NO BUGS AT ALL EVERYTHING WORKING 100% EXACTLY LIKE N910F INTERNATIONAL VARIANT. NO TMOBILE APPS BLOATWARE NO TMOBILE BOOT ANIMATION OR SHUTDOWN ANIMATIONS NO WIFI CALLING.
DON'T TRY TO FLASH OFFICIAL N910T KITKAT FIRMWARE AFTER DOWNGRADE IT WILL NOT WORK I HAVE ALL READY TESTED IT.
NOW YOU CAN ENJOY KITKAT AGAIN WITH AMAZING BATTERY LIFE AND SPEED ALONG WITH CUSTOM ROMS LIKE DYNAMIC KAT, FIREKAT,INFAMOUS ETC.
YOU CAN FLASH AND ENJOY ANY CUSTOM KITKAT ROM WITH TWRP AND NADIA 4.4.4 KERNEL.
PLEASE NOTE-_- WIFI CALLING IS NOT SUPPORTED WITH N910T2 FIRMWARE .
IF YOU WANT WIFI CALLING FLASH ANY N910T BASED KITKAT ROM IN TWRP WITH NADIA KERNEL.
THIS METHOD ONLY FOR N910T T-MOBILE NOTE 4
IT WILL NOT WORK ON N910T3 OR ANY OTHER MODELS.

There is no n910t2 marshmallow or even lollipop available anywhere else.i search all over but only 4.4.4 kitkat available right now.

Yesterday i was messing around to downgrade from marshmallow to kitkat on my n910t but no luck since our locked bootloader but accidentally i downloaded n910t2 firmware from sammobiles.com and i thought i give it a try and guess what i fully downgrade to kithat without any errors in odin and firmware runs flawlessly on n910t everything works expect no wifi calling i think n910t2 is a modified firmware for those who dont want tmobile crap and bloatware the only issue i face when phone boot up is the playstore was lagging but after an hour phone settle down and works awesome 4glte and signal works great .remember no wifi calling supported in this firmware and your model number will change to n910t2 even tmobile boot animation logo not exist. It looks and run exatly like international n910f 4.4.4. After i downgraded i flash twrp and flashed drketen 4.4.4 rom and it works flawless so i did try to flash firekat and dynamic kat but they did not works with n910t2 bootloader.and also 1 thing i want to mention that i easily upgraded again to 5.1.1 dok2 and 6.0.1 epg2 firmware so no worries to switch back.

after flashing the 910t2 firmware to kit kat, did you try flashing the regular 910t 4.4.4 firmware over it?

Yes i did but sadly it doesn't works. I am preety sure that bootloader is not locked since i was able to downgrade by n910t2 kitkat firmware .Maybe tmobile put some kind of code thats why we cant downgrade to n910t kitkat .anyway atleast we can downgrade officially without rooting to kitkat at this point.but i am still trying to figure out if i can flash offcial n910t 4.4.4 firmware.
Hey bro..do you know how to extract the tar and make a baseband and BL only tar...it would be alot easier than downloading the whole firmware at 15kb a sec ha...if not I can do it if someone can upload the firmware to mega or drive

Download link to mega uploaded in thread.
It's not really I guess...it just makes it easier for anyone wanting to try it...because using a kk rom and twrp recovery you only need the baseband and BL...and it's less of a chance to mess up efs or something than when flashing the whole firmware

Yea i did try to flash ank4 but odin fails . You can downgrade to n910t2 kitkat bootloader but not n910t kitkat or even 5.0 lollipop odin will simply fail every time i donno why but good thing is somehow you can still enjoy kitkat.i am running kitkat n910t2 firmware on n910t and everything works perfect wifi/data/xposed/all sensors nothing is broken only wifi calling missing and battery life ofcourse kitkat is best. You can still flash kitkat roms but only international n910f ported kitkat roms i guess but you can try with different kernels if you wanna still use ank4 base roms .
http://forum.xda-developers.com/general/paid-software/flashfire-t3075433
Try flashfire. You can download just the bootloader and modem from a dev and try that program

Do you know it works ? I think not because the logic of not allowing older bootloader is in the phone and not in Odin

Yeah but custom 4.4.4 would have been even better..I will try t2 rom. .from sammobile right ? Also what msg u get when u flash custom rom on t2 firmware. ...and whilet flashing 910t 4.4.4 using odin .did u try repartition using pit file ?
I heard lot of good things about FireKat 4.4.4 rom , that is why i wanted to do this whole process of downgrading.
I don't know if it would work. I'm on a W8. Wouldn't hurt to try.

Rooting / TWRP

Heyyo, Slenderman8090 here! I am currently on the newest firmware build that Verizon Sent out. I am downgrading so I can flash/root OB6 Firmware. TWRP doesn't seem to want to flash via ODIN, but I keep getting an AUTH error on ODIN. I am a 3 Year patron of XDA/General Development, and I am not familiar with Verizon and it's lockdowns. So, what ever I can do, please let me know.
Thanks so much,
Slenderman8090
EDIT:
I HAVE FIGURED OUT HOW TO FIX IT, NOW AROMA DOESN'T WORK ON MY TWRP, WHAT VERSION IS NEEDED?

As far as everything I've been able to keep up with and read, in order for our Verizon (hltevzw) Galaxy Note 3 phones to be bootloader unlocked with a properly functioning TWRP recovery that also handles AROMA files as well, TWRP v2.8.7.0 (4.4 (the Verizon "hltevzw" variant), is the correct/proper variant that you'll need to flash onto your phone instead of the version that you've got currently. Also, it apparently doesn't matter at all whether or not you've already got a newer version of TWRP recovery installed, any newer version after v2.8.7.0 can't flash AROMA. So since you want to flash AROMA files, TWRP v2.8.7.0 (4.4) is apparently the last official version to be released which supports AROMA. I'm not sure why it didn't carry on into newer releases, but I'm sure the devs had a good enough reason for not doing so.
