Problems with switching between Wi-Fi and mobile data - Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all,
I installed the following ROM on my S5: [ROM] [Unofficial] [7.1.2_r36] RR-N 5.8.5 [klte + variants] [05-06-18 Security Patch Level] My Internet has dropouts. For example: I surf on Facebook, and my phone is moving from mobile data to Wi-Fi, or backwards, it suddenly stops loading the page. I want to kill the app and reload it, then it will work again. Only closing does not help. It does not matter if it's in an app or through the browser.
The same problem exists with the official RR 7.1.2.
Is there perhaps a problem with the baseband version?
I currently have this: G900FXXU1CPJ1
Sorry about my bad english.
Best regards

I'm wondering if your device is one of the following?
CSC: SIO (Slovenia)
CSC: CMF (Macedonia)
If neither of those, then please let me know what it is but, I've got a feeling that it's one of those.

It looks like your specific Modem Firmware is out of date...
With BTU being United Kingdom, you will need to locate the latest version for your device.
I don't have this specific variant but, your question did look like this may have been the case.
You may have to search around for the most recent Modem Firmware for your specific device Firmware.

I only responded to help highlight this possibility of the Firmware Modem Update that typically resolves these types of issues.
The only thing that I can think of is it being specific to either the Firmware ROM or some type of customization that may be conflicting with the operation of the Modem (the Modem controls the WiFi and the Provider Connection to the Towers).
Sometimes a very small change to something like a setting that you would never think would even affect this just may be the Culprit.

I have searched high and low for what this firmware is and how i can upgrade from it, basically the phone is next to unusable (the screen will go black but the phone can still be used, yes I've checked the accessibility section!) I'm hopinh a firmware upgrade will rectify this phone but any firmware I try to install fails!
Any helps will be gratefully appreciated!

I looked into this and it looks like you may have Product Code SM-G900FZBAO2U which is the UK brand S5.
As far as the "G900FXXU2BOK5" Firmware your looking for... It doesn't exist.
Your a bit off on the Firmware for that device. It should be "G900FXXU1BOK5" because there's no "U2" there's only "U1".
Unfortunately there's no download for the G900FXXU1BOK5 because it's one that came with the device. This is also an S5 with an unlockable bootloader.
Now i can go into lengthy details but, i found a handful of links that will help you to recover your device.
Take a look at the following links and read them through to figure out your course of action. I also provided some informational links too.

Thanks for the quick reply, I'm going to work through the links you sent, however I do want to make it clear that the Firmware version i posted is correct, it is what is displayed in the build section of the phone. Another curiosity is in the Recovery mode it states the model is G900V, not G900F as is stated under the battery, is this normal?

Okay... I'll explain a touch more...
The first 5 digits identifies the actual model as G900F and, based on what you had stated, tells me that it it was originally a G900F with the G900V Firmware installed.
Someone had unlocked the international UK and installed the Verizon US firmware. This can be done only with the international S5.
One of the links i had provided you (i believe the sammobile forum link) states this too.
I hope i had explained it okay via text...
EDIT: In addition, when installing the G900V on a G900F, the G900V doesn't change the Baseband version which is G900F. That's why there's 2 different device models being reflected in 2 separate locations.

Rooting SM-G900L (I?) -

Hello everyone,
I've got a Samsung SM-G900L (or I?) that I want to root and run a different ROM on.
Just wondering if anyone could point me in the direction of the right guide, there seems to be so many different variants of this phone.
Unfortunately my charge cover broke and now every half a second it keeps bringing up a warning interupting what ever I'm doing saying the charge cover is open, so I'd like to root the phone and run a different ROM.
Whats the latest and greatest ROM for these phones that people like?
Thanks

Incorrect firmware flashed, but the phone works!!! Help.

I have a G900f, which I asked a friend of mine to install a custom rom, he ended up flashing G900V software. I have bad network problems now and I tried flashing the g900f firmware but was unsuccessful. The model number on the back of the phone and in settings now differ. Any recommendations as to how I can fix this, im pretty new to flashing firmware and such. Much Appreciated, thanks.

New software update for Samsung Galaxy S5 (G900F)

Hey everyone,
I've just noticed that my G900F shows a notification about a new official software update from Samsung. I've looked online and found on a third party site that this update is supposed to bring minor improvements but no newer version of Android.
Since I'm planning on rooting my phone as soon as my warranty expires, I am unsure if the new update will have any effect on my ability to root my phone. (I've already rooted my older G900F, which I had to replace, since Samsung declined to fix it as warranty).
I checked the Samsung website but couldn't find anything about this current update, so if anyone knows anything related to this issue, pls let me know.
Thanks John

Way to change language in S5

Hi,
Yep, change the language.
No, it's not that simple as you might think - like open up preferences and choose correct language. Or install some kind of soft that doesn't work properly (not localized to the end).
Phone I'm referring to, is made for US market probably, hence no European languages there. It's SCH-G900P, and from what I googled, it's a Galaxy S5 Sport (for US).
From what I know, best way is to reprogram the firmware with European version. But, but.... I've got few details to find out, like:
* which FW to pick - is that country and network, which phone is operating in ? For example, I need to change language to Polish - so is it a difference between Polish networks (in terms of FW features that I'm going to download) ? Is it more safe to pick exactly the same network firmware, or it makes no difference at all (maybe except some bloatware) ?
* what about WiFi calling feature - for example British BTU and British EE are quite different - first one (unbranded) won't allow this, and second one (EE) - will do, so maybe it's better to use British EE firmware to get more features (and other languages should be built-in) ?
* S5 do have 2 various CPUs (from what I know), does it matter, or all FWs are common ?
Thank you forany clues.
Cheers,

According to SamMobile, the CSC selection for the Sprint S5 (SM-G900P) is as follows.
BST = Australia (Boost Mobile)
SPR = USA (Sprint)
XAS = USA (Sprint)
VMU = USA (Sprint)
XAR = Cellular South
The only other option would be (if it can be done) is to Unlock the Bootloader and search for a way to be able to flash a Compatible Custom Firmware that has the language your looking for like the SM-G900F.
I've never tried this myself on either of my S5 Devices but, see if any one of the following threads/links are helpful.

Thanks for reply.
I don't know how it happened, but apparently I had unlocked bootloader as I was able to install TWRP and flash custom kernel with no hassle.
Now looks like there's only one custom firmware that supports multiple languages, including Polish: Beanstalk (thread present in Sprint S5 group). However I can't check the rest of its features as Pixel Launcher constantly hangs up.

I'm not sure but, I had thought that the LineageOS has a multilingual feature...
You can always ask this question within the following Official LineageOS thread for the klte variants.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3680666
Just keep in mind that the LineageOS for your device is the "KLTEDV" and the above thread is the support thread for all variants that doesn't have their own Official LineageOS thread (like yours).
If you need to, you can always try to obtain some member guidance within the following Q&A thread that's specific to all GS5 devices.
