INTRO
Hey guys. I'm french Canadian (please understand my bad written )
and thanks to the phone I choosed (s5 active g870w telus)
I'm becoming pretty much bilingual I've checked all over
around The Web and over this forum. And can't find an accurate
answer . I know I picked the wrong phone for rooting but
as a construction worker it was a good compromise.
DONE AND SEARCHED
My Samsung Galaxy s5 Active g870w from Telus
is still on 4.4.2 since there is no and there will not be
any update for a while.
I managed to used the g900w8 version of
Chain fire auto root method using Odin 3.09
to get roots.
I have also succès to flash Unity 2.0.1 rom.
So far I figured that my version can count as
the Canadian version of the s5 small g900w8. (I may be wrong)
I found a stock Firmware (that accualy make my
lies in russian ) Wich I used a lot lately due to all
my soft brick.
My goal is to be able to upgrade to a nice custom rom
on lollipop. I was hoping Fusion. And as for the recovery
TWRP would be my choice if it was possible.
Now I am stuck trying to install TWRP. I have followed
multiple guide. I have tried to install from TWRP manager
the version 2.8.6.0 klte. I have tried 3 times and after the app
installation I tried to reboot to recovery using Quick boot,
i always end up in Odin mode.
I then tried to install using Odin flashing the same version
Downloaded from TWRP.me site. Then it let me load into
my stock version. Then if I try to reboot in recovery
it still stock.
I even tried to use safestrap both version at&t and Verizon
and both soft bricked me.
I have read or scan about every thread and none talk about
S5 a g870w. Beside the att version Wich are locked.
QUESTIONS
My Questions and I really beg for answers even if
You have only 1 answer.
1- Is my phone g870w compatible g900w8?
2-is it compatible to any other versions?
3-when looking should I only look for Canadian version or I can also
use either g870 from at&t,Verizon or international. Or I look for
International g900. Since I guess my bootloader is unlocked .
4- Since only at&t and Verizon are supposed to be lock I guess
I can't use safestrap... so are TWRP and CWM the only options?
5- Can someone help me troubleshoot my installations. ?
6- After I install my recovery a a g870w on kitkat 4.4.2
Should I be able to flash lollipop base custom rom?
7- Is it possible that there is no option for me beside
Unity and stock rom.
BOUNTY
It might not be much but I offer a 20$ minimum bounty for who ever
take me outta this non ending bulls*"t.
Thanks guys. And please I swear I have search and read a lot
just Google my model number and you'll always end up on me
Searching and I seems to be the only one g870w talking about
recovery or custom rom. All I found is how to root...
Jon
1- Is my phone g870w compatible g900w8?
No, it is different flashing anything that isn't designed for your exact model number ( even the AT&T ones which are one letter different) won't work.
2-is it compatible to any other versions?
No, only firmwares for your exact phone will work without someone modifying something specific for you.
3-when looking should I only look for Canadian version or I can also
use either g870 from at&t,Verizon or international. Or I look for
International g900. Since I guess my bootloader is unlocked .
Flashing any other model number but your own risks bootloop/bricking as they although look similar can have different firmware partitions amongst other things.
4- Since only at&t and Verizon are supposed to be lock I guess
I can't use safestrap... so are TWRP and CWM the only options?
If someone can have a look at TWRP is possible that they can make a version work for you: ideally I would say with it being so difficult as so few have your model I would go to stock: root and use xposed, and leave the rest.
5- Can someone help me troubleshoot my installations. ?
Sure, happy to help but don't know how much can help when you are trying firmwares for different versions.
6- After I install my recovery a a g870w on kitkat 4.4.2
Should I be able to flash lollipop base custom rom?
Unless someone has made I've for your model type I doubt it.
7- Is it possible that there is no option for me beside
Unity and stock rom.
Yeah unfortunately this is quite likely.
thanks for taking the time.
Now I'll go private with you for personal things.
but before maybe few extra questions will help the very few others in
the same painful situation.
about compatibility you answered no.
What made me search so bad is that I've seen
other members(g870a) claiming they we're using
g900 roms I'll search for a link.
-Does it mean even tho its risky or
it means that American version have more luck ?
-am I still able to use a recovery like safestrap?
-can I hang myself?
- and if I'd like to have TWRP and a know custom rom
would it be a lot of works for Des.
Is it "askable" are some working for money?
I hate stuck to death I miss my note 3 like crazy. .. damn

Go into settings<about device and check for model number, it should be SM-N910C, that is the International Exynos version. If model number is SM-N910F, then it is the International Snapdragon version. Once you've confirmed your model goto their respective development threads and look for any ROM that has your model number attached in the topic title.
Hi,
It is N-910F i did checked that and tried download roms for this version from Zedomax website but when i tried to flash it in TWRP it says that rom is trltexx and my phone got trlte
and thats point where everything stops. Am i still dowloading wrong roms? or?
Thank you

Why are you downloading ROMs from Zedomax's website when there is a development section for snapdragon based note 4's right here? Download from the aforementioned thread and ask Questions there, where it will be easier to find a solution to your problem
Probably you have the wrong version of TWRP. Just flash via odin the right recovery..
If your Note4 is the N910F download "twrp-2.8.7.0-trltexx.img.tar" from this page, launch odin, put the downloaded .img.tar file in the AP/PDA button, reboot your phone in download mode, connect it to the pc via usb cable, let it be recognized from odin, click start and let it flash the recovery.
Now you'll be able to flash the right ROMs for your N910F.
Thank you guys it was wrong version of TWRP after flashing from your link i was able flash RR straight away THX
Thank you! I had the same problem, my mistake for not coming to the right place first.
Can someone please tell me how to install custom recovery on N9100
Many thanks
Go check in at the correct website!!! (Cina phone)!!!
Thank.
If you can't say anything useful then just shut up.
Hello.
Right now, I can flash CWM recovery and CM12.1 Rom to my sm-n9006.
But, I want to flash aryamod and it requires either twrp or philz touch. But when I flash them, in my screen I see Samsung Note 3 SM-N9006 and
at the left up, I see
RECOVERY BOOTING. . . . .
RECOVERY IS NOT SEANDROID ENFORCING
Set Warranty Bit : recovery
and it sticks like that. Then, I have to power+ volume(down) to close the phone.
How can I flash philz or twrp??
Should I update bootloader or modem? And how?
My bootloader version: N9006ZCUDML1
My baseband version : N9006ZCUDML1

Your os is seriously outdated (4.3 JellyBean).
Update it to the latest available stock firmware then flash TWRP v2.8.7
Read the twrp's original thread for more infos.

Galaxy Note 3 LTE International
Now: one common recovery for all: hlte
http://goo.im/devs/philz_touch/CWM_Advanced_Edition
The below specific variants are no more updated, use hlte common variant

I read the thread but I don't found anything concerning n9006 .really I don't know what to do but I saw that on this link https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...ecovery-twrp-materialized-dark-light-t3153843
Can you read and tell me what do you think about this costume recovery I see that it supported this screen resolution (1080 *1920) like my n9006
Thank
I have N9006 and never used Philz Recovery. Tried once, but didn't worked. As stated just 6 post before (but ppl don't read): "Update to the latest available stock firmware then flash TWRP v2.8.7". So, with Kies or whatever Samsung is using or calling it these days, update your stock firmware to the latest one that they'll serve. Or you can grab the latest stock firmware from SamMobile (to download you'll need an account) and flash it with Odin. Then, with the same Odin, flash TWRP v2.8.7. read more about Odin and flashing. It's not rocket surgery, but it's also very easy to brick your phone. I would atach the Odin and TWRP that I'm using to flash aroma installer roms, but I'm not sure I'm allowed to do that

Bro There is twrp 3.2.1 for n9006 no twrp 2.8.7.0 for n9006 on twrp. me so I continue my research
I believe the sm-n9006 is a China version of the Note 3. Your link is for the sm-n9005 which has a different bootloader.
You should only flash a recovery that is made for the sm-n9006.

Poster has been told to use N9005 by Eleo in one of his 50 +multiple identical questions .
If you know of the correct recovery could you link for the poster please .

Try twrp 2.8.7.0 for note3 N9005. Even if something goes wrong, you can flash twrp 3.2.1 for N9006 to correct it.
End Quote .
###
My suggestion would be to find a Chinese forum for N9006.As after 50+ posts you are in the same position as post one .
@JJEgan, I don't know for sure which recovery can be flashed since I don't have this particular phone. Also, Philz and CWM have not been updated for ages so I personally would not use either one.
I looked for twrp for the n9006, didn't find it, and would personally stop trying to flashing anything until I knew for sure that a recovery for another phone would work 100% on the n9006. I did some cursory searches and found no official recovery for the n9006.
Likewise .
Rom thread has a few who say they flashed on N9006.
Also that model is often faked MTK.
TWRP 2.8.3 is listed seperate for 9006 on twrp.me. devices Note 3

Hi there! So, I’m finding conflicting information all over about this, so I figured it’d be better to ask directly. I’m trying to put a custom rom on a g950u s8, and some sites tell me that a safestrap is the only way to go about this, and others say TWRP will work. The real question is though, I’m trying to get an AOSP rom on it and have no idea how to go about it. I’m used to having xiaomi phones where all I needed to do was unlock bootloader, flash TWRP, then flash zip. If not possible, is there any way to convert g950u version to G950f? Thanks, and sorry for the stupid questions!

You cannot convert it to a 950f. The bootloader on a U model is locked. You can root it. And you can install safestrap you can run one of the modified stock ROMs we have and flash certain zips like viper4 Android. No magisk. No Los AOSP cr no custom roms
