Hey guys!
I'm not new to flashing phones, but now I'm facing a weird situation: I'm trying to flash TWRP and to root my phone (both via Odin). Odin says everything is OK, but it didn't do anything! It won't flash TWRP nor root my phone! I have no idea on what's happening!
I saw in a lot of places that I should have "OEM UNLOCKED", but this option isn't showing at my phone's "Developer options".
I am running the stock Android 6.0.1 for Samsung Galaxy S5 SM-G900MD. Could anyone, please, help me?
Problem solved by simply unchecking Odin's "auto reboot" option. ¬¬
autoreboot shouldnt cause any problems. all it does is tells to send the command thru the phone to reboot once its done flashing something. Glas to hear that you got it working tho!! Welcome to the forum! if you need help, just ask or if you find some new fun stuff to share with the community, please do that as well!!

That's what I thought too! Autoreboot shouldn't do anything like that, but... well... it did o.o

1. Go to the ROM section, linked here....
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=534
2. Ask the same question again.
You'll get more luck in there, and this forum shouldn't be cluttered with stuff that should be in others.
Good luck

Mate - he wants to downgrade! He's already flashed one ROM.
Anyone, please don't encourage him. This forum has enough on it's plate without becoming ROM Dev MkII lol
johncmolyneux, I thought you're more helpful than this.
I downloaded the ROM update from HTC .. I dont like it .. it ruined my phone, I want my original ROM back, is that illegal ?

I AM being helpful. Follow the instructions and you'll get what you need. This is simply the wrong place to post. If we just answer every single post, regardless of what section it's in then the forum would be a massive mess and you'd never be able to follow anything.
How am I not helping you??? After all the help I have given you I'm suprised by that comment.

Thats why I said I always THOUGHT you were more helpful, because you helped me alot before. I was referring to the post where you said "Mate - he wants to downgrade! He's already flashed one ROM.
Anyone, please don't encourage him. This forum has enough on it's plate without becoming ROM Dev MkII lol"
Anyway,
The ROM section is dead, I already tried posting there some questions before, they look for ROM downloads and updates, not for questions.
I posted here because I am desperate, I am struggling from my new ROM update.
If anyone knows what I can use to simply revert back to my previous ROM, ill be very grateful ..
Thank you.
I said not to encourage you as this thread does not belong in this forum. Simple as that.
There's a thread in the ROM forum with official download links. You need that. Just download the one you want and flash it.
But I guess I'm not being helpful now. Thanks a lot.
I guess I understood it in the wrong way then, I owe you an apology Im sorry
Oh no its not that, im just really desperate and my day today wasnt at its best, in a bad mood from other life events haha.
"There's a thread in the ROM forum with official download links. You need that. Just download the one you want and flash it."
Thats all I really needed, thank you very much Disregard what I said earlier, its just me in a bad mood today.
I still luv ya John!

But as to why you want to flash ..... I say, Why Not ........
Just went over to sprint the other day and got this version that ha 5.1.1 installed out of the box. Been searching around and have yet to find anything that even list this version/build but see many others listed.
Is there a root/Pre-root rom that will work on this variant?
I second this! I have been searching for any info on rooting this specific device without luck! I don't mind doing research on how to do it and finding out how my self, just can't find anything at all to do so thus far!
Root for SM-G530P
I third this someone please help...
Before you get into flashing anything on the device....please be sure to enable OEM Unlocking under developers option.
Also, there seems to be a twrp recovery, however, I have not tested it out myself yet...when I do so I will let you all know if it's success or not.
Another thing, I think it's highly possible that the phone will require a "permissive" kernel...not too sure yet. I will advise shortly...
Ok I got news. The phone has been semi-rooted, I was right...it requires a permissive kernel in order for the phone to boot up once more. The people that come in mind when it comes to permissive sprint kernels are Freeza & Djvoleur. They can probably cook something up if they have the source code for this phone already.... also, we need a working twrp or philz recovery.... the ones provided do not work... meaning that it would be redundant to have a permissive kernel...if we don't have a working custom recovery to flash it over with.... unless there's another way to flash the zip file or maybe just the boot.img? I will keep updating this if I find anything further...

Wow sounds like this is it! Can't wait to try it when I get back home. Thanks for the updates guys!
EDIT: It works great, thanks for looking out and thanks for the work put into this to bring us root to our devices.
Now if I could just find a ROM for this thing that would make it a bit less bloated and run a bit smoother that will make it all worth while.
Hey i have this to please message me the information i need a reliable root A.S.A.P

Nice walls phunkee, like the fractal ones, very retro! Only weird thing on my handset tho, is when i apply the theme using hdwalls, i have to switch off / switch on, to get the top and bottom curtains to change. If i simply do a soft reset, it puts standard grey top/bottom curtains up. Happens with all downloaded themes, ones ive made myself, everything. Odd!

Is there any custom recovery for this at all? If so I can't find one. Would be great if we could get one for this model.
No one has any info? I can't believe that. Come on, someone has to know something. Is it possible to flash one of the other s6 edge plus recoverys?
Can anybody shed some light on this please : ( I'm sure I'm not the only one wanting to know this information. Thank you for your time.
No need for multiple posts man, people may take some time to respond ?
There is a recover in the instructions part of http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3219017.

Well that's a bummer : ( I see all over for everything but the g928r4 model. I know I'm not the only one that is frustrated by this.
I'm really sorry for bumping this, but someone on the interwebs has to know something about it :/ Some type of custom recovery maybe some roms anything...
Any news on a custom recovery/rom for this yet?would be fantastic if someone would work on something for this model : (

i can only say that i had trouble with recovery on sm-g928f using g928c firmware on 6.0.1 , i used the recovery for note 5 and that worked for me but im not saying that would work for you if thats the firmware you referring too

I mean I see every other model has something going on for it how come no one has anything for SMG928R4. I mean I know it takes time for stuff to get done but I mean no info at all or any testing for this model is a little ridiculous :/
Anyone have any info on this now at all???
Hey, I'm new to XDA, but I have been searching through the threads to find a way to unbrick my note 4. I have a T-mobile note 4 that I rooted and one day I was on it and it all of a sudden went into boot loop, this happened once before and all I had to do was take the battery out and turned it on and it was fine. The second time it got stuck in boot loop. I have followed a lot of videos on youtube and have tried a lot of things people have said to get out of boot loop. I downloaded odin and got the software specific to my note 4 and put the device in download mode and when I start odin and get it all set up it fails right after. So I wanted to ask for any help specific to my device. My note 4 has Team win recovery and when I go in there is nothing there. Its like everything has been wiped clean. I have tried to reinstall note 4 software multiple times and made sure I have all the drivers. I have a iPhone 7 plus(going to switch back to android) and the note 4 has been sitting in my room for a few months now and I would like to unbrick it so I can use it or do something with it. I know what I have said so far may not be useful, please leave a reply and I will give any other details that you may need. Please help me out, trying to fix the phone and so far have been out of luck. Also I am not the most tech savy when it comes to tech....Thank you to those of you that decide to help out, it will mean a lot
now bootloop

Yup I have tried reinstalling the software with odin but still no luck. Followed a few things on youtube but that didn't work either. I think the problem is that I have team win recovery and have no idea how to get rid of that. I hope someone can chime in. Other wise the note 4 will just still in the corner. Honestly don't have a use for it, but I have a anker external battery for it and the phone will last two days easy. If I fix it ill probably swap sims and use that. Let me know if you find a way to fix the issue... good luck man....!

I'm glad you have your phone working, however it troubles me that you asked for help publicly but will post your fix privately. XDA works as a forum because of everybody sharing. Just keep in mind that someone else could benefit from your fix (or find) without having to contact you. All they have to do is say it worked for them or not and thank you for sharing.

I wasn't asking for him to send me a private message or anything. I just wanted to know if he got it fixed or not before I spent my time writing all the steps out. I didn't feel the need to write out a really long response if he already got his phone fixed. He was the only other person that had the same problem as me.

Okay, so the first thing I did was download the latest version of odin. The problem with my phone was that I accidently completely wiped the phone and the only thing I had on it was TWRP (Team win recovery) and I tried to install the firmware from Sam mobile but for some reason it kept failing. Thats when I finally decided to download some other rom and the link is https://forum.xda-developers.com/no...rom-hyperdrive-n4-rls-otatweaks-lock-t2919441 after downloading that put it in the AP spot and click the box and press start and it should work. If not let me know.... Sorry to get back so late I've been super busy, if you have any questions let me know
