Note: I already tires flashing roms from this forum, none of them worked.
I have a sm g930v (Verizon snapdragon) and I've tried flashing some different roms including superman rom and others, but when I do, I get stuck in a bootloop. So I assume that those roms just don't click with my phone. Could anyone give me the name of a rom that could work? If you need it, some info on my phone can be found at imgur . com/gallery/VK2hH (couldn't attach via xda app, sorry)
Also, is a custom kernel something worth looking into? Because if it could improve my phones performance, that would be neat too.
Looking forward to any help I can get, thanks!?

Thanks, but i tried using that one again and yet again got in a bootloop :/
now i gotta reflash to stock and try another.
Any other suggestions for my snapdragon model?
You didn't follow corrections completely with stanglitre. It will work on all snapdragon s7's
Try the Ufirmware hybrid. I'm on that and get 40 hours battery life
Make sure you are turning on debugging blah blah blah

Did you get root on stock? Did Flashfire load and get root access? What step were you when you get bootloop?

Here's what I did.
I started with stock G930VVRU4BQH4 from updato
I rooted using PERMANENT ROOT method https://forum.xda-developers.com/ve...-to-notes-root-install-xposed-unroot-t3411039 EXCEPT and VERY IMPORTANT in "PERMANENT ROOT" I DONT USE "engineer-rooted boot image" < --Thats for MM, that will bootloop me.

I followed the instructions correctly, I rooted using that nougat eng boot and i used flashfire to wipe what the thread said, and i made sure the order was wipe, then rom flash, and when i hit the lightning bolt the phone restarted and i had a bunch of the white text, (what i assume is files being written to the system) and another reboot, the word flashfire is across the top of my screen for a good 3 mins, then a reboot and my s7 has the logo with the custom lock for custom firmware, and then it vibrates for like .2 seconds then reboots, then repeats to do that until i flash stock back.
I made sure to follow the steps correctly, but maybe I am doing something wrong...

Could the problem be that I flashed the rom from my internal SD? I downloaded it on my PC, since its like a gig, then uploaded it to google drive to download to my phone faster, and when i went to flash the rom i selected it from my internal storage/download. Should I move it to my external SD card? I think i read somewhere that i should have the firmware on my sd since the flashfire wipe clears the internal memory.
Alright I just flashed the rom again and it said it was installing and blah blah in flashfire and i thought it was going to work this time, but Im back in a bootloop. **** this rom, I'm so irritated. I followed the steps EXACTLY and put the .zip on my ext SD and im still getting bent.
Guess I have to try something else...
Sounds like you doing it right. last thing I can think to check... Did you get the "N" ROM from http://stang5litre-edition-roms.xobor.com/
or
The one posted for MM https://forum.xda-developers.com/ve...t/stang5litre-edition-5-0-s7e-rom-s7-t3453441 see page 177 for "N Rom Is Live" link.
I'm out of ideas if all that checks out.
BTW I flash the ROM from Internal Storage too, I don't think thats the problem.
Not to sound mean, but if your looking for roms you should probably get a different phone. The few roms available to you are crippled by terrible battery life due to the engineer kernel. Stang's rom is good, but nothing can fix the battery. U firmware might be your best bet. Not trolling, just my opinion.
SM-G930V to Indian ROM

i have "SM-G930V" fully official unlocked....can i flash Indian ROM on this, if YES, where and how can i do it?

You guys are my last hope!
Got the Galaxy S5 from Straight Talk, after being fed up with a lousy upgrade experience with Virgin Mobile. Although the phone functions great, I have a real issue with ST not rolling out firmware updates like every. single. other. carrier.
First off, is there really no hope of a stable firmware update to Android 5.0?
Second, is it possible to root? Towelroot fails, and I can't find any straight answers anywhere else. Has anybody had any luck rooting?
maybe tell us model numbers etc?

Ok so I'm about to try to root an s5 tracfone model# sm-s902l and this is the only place I can even find anyone else looking for help with this particular model BUT it seams that no one could help this person. I also looked at the list and didn't see my model# does this mean that it can't be done. I don't want to end up with a brick. Any help would be appreciated.
P.S. I've never rooted a phone before.

Wait what?
How'd you pull off root I've been looking everywhere on the net since I got this phone...nobody has this variant. Towel root doesn't work haven't tried cf auto root yet I was planing 2 try.
And what roms are u using? I mean damn dude youve solved alot of my and other peoples problems i wish you had elaborated. @apsavarese did you ever give it a go?
Seriously, you guys who say you have root, what did you use to gain root access??? What was your process? And roms?? What kind of roms? And which version of cf auto root are you saying works with the s902l?
Correct me if I'm wrong (PLEASE!) I think sm-s902l is a klte. So klte roms work on this model?
Sm-s902l rooted
I've rooted this phone it has an unlocked bootloader so it's pretty easy use odin v3.07 and flash twrp problem solved i used the latest s5 klte .tar file and its working fine with full root enjoy
Thanks to @ddjr for pointing me in the right direction

Not at all, not at all, it was all you. I'm fumbling in bumbling around here trying not to Bork my phone. You da man!
Ive done lots of fumbiling lol but thanks again man. Now that i have root ill see if i can get some recovery files made for this phone unbrick.img's and the like so when people screw up these phones flashing roms they have a way out, but itll be this weekend i got alota hours to put in at work
I cannot wait to flash different roms to this phone. but I WILLwait until I see some unbrick imgs. it's just too expensive of a phone to Bork.
Ive extracted the system and boot partition with adb im pretty sure that someone can make a flashable firmware zip out of them with the andriod kitchen ill upload them when i get a chance i dont have wifi right now and the system file is pretty large.
Ill screw with cooking em myself aswell but its gonna be awhile i dont even have linux install, ill probly set up a virtual os.
Careful on messing up this phone to the point where it cannot be revived with out flashing via odin. There is currently no official firmware files on www.sammobile.com and www.samsung-updates.com.
Can we just take a backup from rom manager and turn it into a file that can be installed via odin?
---------- Post added at 08:44 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:36 PM ----------
Also, anyone know if the miui7 available for the s5 on the miui official site will work on our phones?

The stock firmware can be extracted from this phone and set up as a flashable odin file, im working on it sort of.....as in i dont really know what im doing but i like to dabble. Ill post the needed files tonight just in case someone good at this wants to take a whack @ it. Im finding it hard to get any time but i do have android kitchen up and running.
Ill edit this post with the file links
Boot image:
http://www.filehosting.org/file/details/510266/boot.rar
System image:
http://www.filehosting.org/file/details/510279/system.rar
these were pulled with adb
Just a little update for u guys ive done alot of digging and cant find/or make stock firmware for this device so if you brick and cant get into recovery your screwed.
That being said if you make a full backup with twrp you should be ok to flash roms for the verizon s5 but you would still be taking a moderate risk something could allways go wrong. And youd be ok if you could still get into your recovery and use your backups.
Now with that out of the way i know theres people out there that can unbrick these phones with the right tools and files if anyone with the ability wants the files needed (if i havnt provided the right ones all ready) please pm me and ill give any stock files u need.
That goes for anyone else 2 i have twrp backups of system, modem, ect. If you need files to restore your phone. I also have the PIT file
Ill keep tinkering because its fun and ill post any success or failures here in the future
I'm hopeful for success for you. Waiting with fingers crossed!
Hi Folks
My partner has just got the S5 Active and she loves it..
But now she would like to update from 4.4.2.. Phone says she has latest rom so my questions are this
1)What is the latest official rom for the Active?
2)Whats the BEST root method?
3)What Custom roms are suitable?
3)Finally what is the best route to take to flash a CUSTOM rom?
looking forward to your responses
regards
Lohtse
1) Here you can find the latest TW stock rom:
http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/
Android Lollipop is available for the S5 Active. You can download the latest Firmware and flash it via Odin. You don't need root for that.
2) My preferred root method is flashing CF auto root via Odin. After that I install another recovery like TWRP
3) Nobody can answer that. Try and find it out (perform a full wipe incl cache before you install a custom rom)
4) This steps: root, recovery, full wipe, custom rom, and at least if you want and need that: custom kernel

Thank you for the help...
finally got it sorted after reading around 9-10 different guides... all of which had little bits missing
now she's a happy bunny with LP on her Active and I'm a tired old fart with droopy eyes!!!!!
Just need a custom recovery now!!
Congratulations! How you solved it?
Yeah recovery is the same problem. It exists no recovery for the G870A
Two things that I found that allowed me to sort the Active which was mentioned
firstly to allow Flashfire to work you had too set clock back past 1/15/15
and you had to also set flashfire to boot into download to allow you to flash the G870A_OC5_Bootloader.tar.md5 file via Odin on the pc.. once I did these it worked...
Just depends which guide you read to find a COMPLETE one....
Damn that sounds very tricky

Not really just no two guides the same.... soon as I noticed the minor differences it was easy.
1) root with towel root copy stock LP(rooted version)
2) Install and set date to 1/1/15 then open Flashfire
3)Flash Stock rooted LP using flashfire making sure you have flashfire set to boot to download when finished
4) open Odin PC and connect S5Active
5)Point Opins AP slot to location of the G870A_OC5_Bootloader.tar.md5 file
6) Flash and reboot and your done...
MAJOR issue was the flashfire issue once found issue and set it as stated above I was Up and running after 10minutes Just had spent 4 hours failing before I notice and figured out what the issues was...
Simple really.... Well it was in the end lol

I think XPosed should work on any bootloader,only depends on the versions that xposed supports but by now it should support almost any android versions,anyone can correct me if I'm wrong here.

Hello,
I own an N910C which was running RaymanFX's unofficial Cyanogen mod build 11.
Since its bugginess was too much for me to handle, I was eagerly awaiting for the stock MM ROM to come out and as you al know, as soon as the Poland ROM was released today, I downloaded and flashed it via Odin.
Bootloop.
Fellows over Cyanogen mod thread recommended to do a full wipe and try again. No luck again.
Can you think of anything to remedy my problem please?
Thank you.
Flash, through Odin, the last OFFICIAL Lollipop from Poland and after that the new MM.
- use recovery wipe "system,cache,data"
- then only odin flash .pit reboot,
- then odin flash OFFICIAL Poland 6.0.1,then use "recovery stock" factory reset.
end.
Good thread.
This subject is completely new! !!
You guys don't like to search? Is easy open a new thread, no?

Will try that, currently re-downloading 6.0.1 stock to make sure it has nothing to do with the file previously downloaded.
It does not have to do anything with a corrupt stock ROM file, trying CM 13 Build 11 now.
CM 13 Build 11 by RaymanFX and the latest Open GAPPS flashed, no bootloop, mobile is on.
Any ideas in light of this data ?

It's not a new issue. Link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4/help/n910c-to-stock-rom-cm13-t3321132
"device does not have DRK please install drk first" error while rebooting into Stock ROM. Great.
Waiting for a few minutes, the phone goes into stock recovery. I accidentally press Power button, the phone reboots and it boots indeed, Poland stock ROM is here.
Weird beyond words.
Everything fixed.
I'd suggest the method suggested over here first: http://www.sammobile.com/forum/showthread.php?t=30397
If it fails do it all over again with the method yesteryearisoverhere linked to.
So what is the real way to go from cm to marshmallow? So i did not need to try the risky efs wipe? How? I have the fw 4parts from downloading and pit from sammobile
---------- Post added at 02:21 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:55 PM ----------
How to fix the DRK thing? Is it preventing to boot?
I'm trying to downgrade the software in the S8 to android 7 so that I can root it (root methods that I tried for android 9 haven't worked) and when in Odin, the original software fails to flash, I've tried a couple different AP files for my model and they all fail. Any suggestions?
Any help is appreciated.

I'm trying to downgrade the software in the S8 to android 7 so that I can root it (root methods that I tried for android 9 haven't worked) and when in Odin, the original software fails to flash, I've tried a couple different AP files for my model and they all fail. Any suggestions?
Any help is appreciated.

It fails because you cannot downgrade bootloader, hence the Odin fail at boot.img. you must flash the current or newer BL unfortunately. Have you tried to flash twrp + magisk for root?

About that, my s8+ keeps booting, I been trying to install TWRP but odin fails with sha256 error. Try again with the patched version, no sha error this time, but fails at recovery.img. Soo no twrp, any idea how to get rid of the fail?

The effort put forth by Extreme Syndicate is great except some of the disclaimers aren't promising.
This method will work if you are on Android 9 Pie but will put you on Android 7 nougat. There is no root for Android 9 Pie
You will not be able to use normal magisk
You will not be able to flash custom rom like Lineage or any other AOSP roms
You cannot flash custom boot images or recovery images such as TWRP
The whole reason to root, in my case - any way, is to put a custom recovery on such as TWRP and then flash a custom ROM to get rid of the **** Samsung provides.
In my case, I just downgrade to 7 nougat rom, then couldn't do much, so I got to think. I just wanted to revived this sucker!
Plug it back to odin and reinstall the lastest firmware from sammobile.
I'm not an expert on any of this, but like a said just bringing back this sucker, im in peace.
I can't stand Samsung's software so I'm "glad" in the sense that I bought the phone for experimenting and not to use on a daily basis because if I had to use One UI daily I'd descend into madness over how much I can't stand it.
Having said that, attempting to root it, put a custom recovery and rom on it are very frustrating tasks when Samsung's Knox and other code gets in the way to the point of everything in Odin failing.
"Food for thought" - How can your device be "your" device when it clearly and evidently locks you out of doing whatever you want on it?
I'm not sure if there is a community for anti-bloatware but if there is I'm just as much a part of it as I am with right to repair.
