I don't have this variant and, to further clarify, the Galaxy S5 Japanese variant SCL23 is also known as the SM-G900J.
The following thread is specific to the SpaceX Firmware your referring to and would be the best bet in obtaining support and guidance for this specific Firmware.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3012414
With that guidance...
If you can open the Google Play Store, open it up and go to the Settings (within the Play Store itself) and at the bottom repetitively tap on the Build until you see a toast message towards the bottom of the screen.
Now close the Play Store and let the device sit for approximately 10-15 minutes and then reboot your device then open the Play Store again and you should notice that, if there was an update, it should have then been updated and will hopefully resolve your issue.
By tapping the Build in this way is just a manual way to get the Play Store to check for updates and update itself if there are any. This doesn't happen often but, can happen that would require the manual intervention to do so.
This is the best that I can help you with. Any further issues would require support from the above thread.
Good Luck!

Hi
I was wondering if anyone can help with a small problem? I have a S5 the model number is SM-G900S_V01
I understand this is the Samsung Galaxy S5 SM-G900S (Korea version) I wanted to root it and apply another ROM as there are some aspects of the ROM that fall short of the European version.
I have a couple of questions really, and would be most thankful if someone could answer them for me.
When I try to root the device by holding the Volume Down, Power and Home Buttons the the screen as seen below, lots of writing I can't understand, I am guessing it's Korean!
Try as I might I cannot get Odin to see the phone, the only other way I can change this screen is to hold the Volume Up, Power and Home buttons, then I get the other screen, I think this is the recovery screen and not something I need. So my questions are as follows:
1 Can I install the European version of the OS even though it's region is set to Korea?
2 Can anyone tell me how to get into the download screen so I can get Odin to work?
Thanks in advance for any help you maybe able to give me.
Yeah!
I have the same problem.
So...
is there some solution for this problem?

SO many knowledgeable people on here and no one can answer this question. I have searched google and all xda still nothing. Surely someone must know if we can install the SM-G900F uk stock firmware on the SM-G900S korean version
Yea....
I have the SAME phone. i need to kno how to update it so i can root it and move the hell on from this stock factory crap...
Maybe you all already know, but there is CF-Auto-Root for the SM-G900S.
And TowelRoot may also work for this device ... if its firmware is not too new. (Samsung patchd its latest firmware versions so that the exploit which TowelRoot uses for rooting.)
Sorry if the info comes too late ...
I'm in the same ship , i have the same phone . BTW is any way to go in service mode to this phone ?about the towelroot , is not working for the phone with kernel after 3 june , so mine is from 25 june 2014. Hope is someone out here how can help us to make this root !TIA
Help needed !

Do you find something to resolve the phone ? I am in the same situationes like you .
Finally the answer, well I think it is
Okay, after a lot of messing about I can tell you that this phone is a copy from China, it is a good copy at that, but the point being, you can do much with it to be fair. As far as I know there isn't a way to put another rom on it, but I did find these YT vids some help is explaining it all a little bit more.
Hope that helps someone

hi all,
short story: Friend on T-Mobile needed a new phone. I bought them a Unlocked Americas S5 (SM-G900H) on amazon. They received it today. Swap sim cards from their damaged s4. Have them set it to global in network settings, have them change the ADN, and a couple other settings to get it to work on T-Mobile. Find out what was sent was a unlocked Verizon S5 model (SM-G900V) according to their system info screen. They also see Verizon apps installed and whatnot, and bootloader. Either way, they are able to receive data, text, calls. And they are getting 4GLTE just fine (shows and detcts it as tmobile, and they can download and browse the net, no issues), not HPSA+. Work like a charm as far as data and voice go.
However, only one issue.... they keep getting a "SIM Card is from a unknown source" warning on the taskbar that's just annoying. I had them root their phone, install supers, and install a root file browser after finding some information to freeze or remove "vzwphoneservice.apk" which seems to fix this same issues for others on older android phones. Problem is, its not there... not in system\app and not in system\priv-app where it should be. They use 4.4.2 kitkat. So I check my own note 3, which is also Verizon and has 4.4.2 kitkat. Im rooted, check same folders, that file is not in either of those directories.
To me, its apparent Verizon has changed the filename. Just trying to find out what it is so I can freeze or remove it to get rid of that Verizon "SIM Card from unknown source" warning.
Any suggestions or ideas? would be greatly appreciated

Confirm that both vzwphoneservice.apk and vzwphoneservice.odex are renamed or removed. You may also need to rename VzwController.apk and VzwController.odex and clear your phone cache (from recovery mode).
These are Verizon setup files and it is looking for an encrypted SIM that CDMA carriers like to use. The above should vanquish the message unless you have really rotten luck vis a viz Verizon having added yet another Kitkat setup package.

One post wonders. New members who solicit our help to solve their issue. But they don't have the courtesy to even let us know how the situation resolved. Perhaps it's an outright waste of time to try helping people with less than n posts.

Welcome to XDA.
It would be good if you started a new thread though, rather than hijack someone else's thread on a similar topic.
Tell us what you tried looking for (filenames, where.. using what app, etc. and what phone model you have.. as many details as you can) and lots of us will try to help you out.

Ok, I created a new thread here. Thank you for the quick reply!
Hi I'm new have pity on me,
I have a phone that is new and doesn't appear on the list of devices on this forum. I would like to contribute to the effort to gain root on my phone. I would be willing to test anything that anyone writes for this device or alternatively if someone can give me some help getting started I would be happy to try writing my own.
My phone is a SAMSUNG GALAXY GRAND PRIME SM-G530W. [Contact me for link if you can't find one as I can't post links yet]
Android: 5.1.1
Kernel: 3.10.x
This is not supported by any of the models listed on CF-Auto-Root @ [Contact me for link] nor apparently anywhere else on the internet. This is a different model and should not be confused with the SM-G530H or SM-G5306W or anything else.
I have the original firmware acquired from [Contact me for link] and can restore as necessary. I don't care about warranty, I've probably already voided it. As I am a beginner if there is some kind of safety that I might trip and completely wreck my phone please tell me .
I am happy to provide any and all additional info.
Thanks

Rooted using http://forum.xda-developers.com/grand-prime/development/kernel-root-root-sm-g530t-5-1-1-t3203476 see post https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=63176348&postcount=15. #LongLiveRoot
Hi, your particular variant, the G530W is of interest to the community due to 5.1.1. Okay, for us to help you out we need hardware specs and all. So go to play store and download this app called Samsung Phone Info and open it. Post screenshots of all the information pages shown there, especially Hardware. Once we know your hardware the community can suggest root solutions to you.
To take a screenshot you can hold power and home key at once.
Thank you and awaiting the screenshots.

OK. I'll follow that thread too and see if I can apply anything from it. I think I have an original firmware already though. Don't know if it is the same thing they are trying to get for the G530T though ... it's and .md5 file for odin.

I am using Eastlink (in Canada). So if it is Sprint or Verizon ... I can neither confirm nor deny The firmware page does list about 10 different providers. Don't know which it would have come from first though.

You should stop blaming. Cause diplicating or posting similar threads without event searching is against forum rules.

Hi Nonta. My apologies for the misunderstanding. I realize that these two threads must be similar because you know more than me and you have stated that they are similar. I simply have no idea how they are similar and would like to know if you have the time to enlighten me. I understand that this may be like trying to explain the colour blue to a blind man but I hope that you will take the time. I did search to find similar threads but I didn't find anything that made sense as similar to me.
Thanks,

No problem,
The fact that makes both threads similar is that both are talking about "Rooting a model of Grand Prime on Lollipop".
Neither SM-G530T nor SM-G530W are supported by CF-Root.
I'm working on this since long time, but I don't have the device and that slows down my development on the phone.
Take a look at this http://forum.xda-developers.com/note5/general/verizon-att-samsung-note-5-knox-root-t3183641 the Note 5 and S6 Edge + have Lollipop 5.1.1 and it looks like rooting the Verizon and AT&T versions on them is likely impossible (at least right now).
Keep an eye on this thread, if they come with a workaround, you probably can root yours using this same workaround.
Cool! I didn't realize that rooting was Android version specific. I though it had more to do with the hardware. I'll follow the link you mentioned. If you have anything you would like to try I am happy to test out for you.
Keep us Posted!
As I am looking for the solution to this device, Galaxy Grand Prime Sm-G530W CAD version.
I am sure others are watching this post, I've been watching and I've been watching the added linked post's with no really understanding of how the other post's relate to this one besides of course figuring out Lollipop 5.1.1.
I have the understanding that rooting these systems entails bypassing KNOX and the Bootloader. Now considering the OS version is as important as the Knox, without figuring out how to root these there won't be a solution to this device. With this device, it is important to have the proper version for the SM-G530W or the phone can be Bricked.
Please keep us up-to-date with this forum, as I'm sure others are searching for the same solution on how to root these phones. It's horrible having this as my new phone and not able to access my root features.
Hey y'all,
kernel-root-root-sm-g530t-5-1-1-t3203476
This did root my SM-G530W but I am not certain if there are any security concerns etc. Is the code safe, compromised, sending data to ISIS ?
Maybe someone out there can dissect etc and confirm the safety of this kernel mod?
But it certainly DID root the SM-G530W and yes that is a W
P.S. Sorry ShinySide for expressing my uncertainty over the security of your kernel mod. I spoke before I realized that you are a senior member and have contributed greatly to the cause. I encourage others to Donate so ShinySide can continue helping us with these things. :fingers-crossed:
I tried it and it worked. I did have to do an extra battery take out restart.
You can successfully root SM-G530W with kingroot. THIS WILL NOT TRIP KNOX!!!!!
Only downside is that you can not use SuperSu. You are forced to use their Kingroot program.
I happened to root with kingroot and when I rebooted my phone, KNOX/bootloader detected the su binaries and refused to boot, so I had to re-image my phone. use with extreme caution. using Bell Canada version of Samsung G530W

TL;DR Help a newbie with upgrading my rooted Note 3 from 4.4.2 to a more current version please. I'm old and dumb and really tried to find an answer before embarrassing myself on a forum of experts. Knowing me, the answer is probably right under my nose. Go easy on me <3
Hey guys,
I used the search function on this site and on google but was unable to find what I'm looking for.
I have a Samsung Galaxy Note 3 with T-Mobile. I have Android aversion 4.4.2 and my model number is SM-N900T.
I rooted my phone using a guide I found on youtube to get superuser for the purpose of being able to play emulators on my phone, such as Snes9x EX+, Nostalgia.NES Lite, ePSXe, etc. They all work great. I am not using a custom ROM.
The problem I'm facing is that I don't understand if I need to unroot (correct term?) my phone and just get the auto updates, or to download and install them manually, but I'm unable to receive auto updates over the air as I'm sure you guys would know since this is your hobby and are versed in this sort of thing. I don't even know how to do either really properly but am not afraid to try.
The reason I'm wanting to upgrade now (which might be completely unrelated) is that I haven't been receiving text messages from either my sister or my roommate, whom both of their last messages were received by me on Aug. 5th. I tried contacting my carrier and they said they didn't detect a problem. Both of their carriers said the same thing (one being T-Mobile as well). I guess this is just another step in troubleshooting but I would like to believe this is a network issue.
Any advice would help and would be greatly appreciated. Thank you very much.
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
