I'm having a really hard time with this device. First off I picked up this device for $20 and I thought I would be able to easily flash Lineage OS on it and use it as a household phone and remote control. I really want to use it with Lineage OS so I can connect my google voice to it as well as use it as a remote control and for connecting my apps. So far I have tried several methods. I installed the Samsung USB Drivers and I put the phone in USB Debugging Mode and then booted the phone into Download Mode and ODIN keeps telling me FAIL on (auth). It doesn't matter what I try to flash, even if it's official firmware files it still won't flash.
Can ANYONE please help me figure this out? The latest firmware on this device appears to be:
Model Number: SM-G900V
Firmware Version: G900VVRU2DQL1.
Kernel Version: 3.4.0 [email protected] #1 Friday, September, 29, 2017.

Update: I was able to flash a kernel with a md5 just now. It's the lolipop kernel. So now I imagine only verified md5 files will flash? I would like to flash a recovery so I can install Lineage OS.
Update: Now I bricked the phone lmao.
Update: Now I imagine I need the stock Marshmallow kernel to flash it back so I can at least have a working phone. Where is the stock Marshmallow kernel?

Sound like you have a bootloader locked version: (
I don't have much experience with G900V variety, perhaps @Ibuprophen would be able to clarify.

Lol no, just bowing to greater experience
The CID APK reports that the eMMC Chip / CID Number starts with 15 and thus has an unlockable bootloader. How do I now unlock the bootloader on this device now that I know it is unlockable?

Awesome I got the bootloader unlocked by using the guide you posted. But now, after I installed the MAGISK firmware from TWRP, I rebooted the phone and its stuck on the Verizon Logo and won't boot into Android. Also, how do I install Lineage OS now? I downloaded the latest Lineage OS build for KLTE from the official Lineage OS server and I placed the ZIP package in the phone internal memory. I had attempted to install that zip file from the TWRP recovery mode, but it said it couldn't flash / install it.
Do I need to upgrade the TWRP version to flash it? Also, android just booted for me as I was typing this.. it just took a long time.
UPDATE:
woohoo! I got LineageOS installed. It's starting the bootup for it as I type this! This literally took me all day long to flash this stuff on here because I had to study the forum posts and figure out what to do. Thankfully the guides are simple and the steps are in logical order.
I got it flashed by installing busybox and TWRP on the MAGISK firmware. After it booted up the MAGISK Android firmware I went and installed the official busybox and TWRP applications from the Playstore, then I flashed the recovery with the latest TWRP recovery image, rebooted to recovery and installed the latest Lineage OS nightly build. It is currently booting up Lineage OS! Thank you so much ibuprofin!
I will be writing a detailed guide for unlocking the bootloader, installing the latest TWRP and installing the latest Lineage OS Firmware for the Galaxy S5 ( SM-G900V ). I will be downloading and organizing each file into a thoroughly organized directory system and post the guide and download link in a new forum topic post here.

You would like to try what? What I was stating was my Moto E has an update available to 6.0 MM. I have not downloaded it as of yet, cause I am aware there's something you need to do first in order to capture the download for redistribution. From what I understand you cannot use an already downloaded and installed OEM~OTA update for redistribution...
A little guidance from the seniors would be EXTREMELY appreciated, as this is my first thread ever... I'm looking at you squid2 lolz
i am waiting for the 7th when Telus said they would roll it out.
Not sure how they make the uploaded Firmware archives either..
No matter how many time i asked i either got ignored or hammered with some weird advice (English issue?)
And i meant the one that we all use uploaded to Mega etc.
Who is making them and with what?
Apparently no one knows and what concerns me even more is a little thing called security.
I asked so uhhh why are we not using hashes to verify the firmware ?
It's complete insanity to check hashes on some dumb app and not your OS ..that just blows me away LOL
I'm interested in putting this on my Sprint phone (XT1526). CM13 won't detect my Canadian SIM.

Could you please lend a fellow Ontarian brother a hand, and tell me where the OTA file actually is? I've had the damn thing for a week now, and I can't seem to find it anywhere to capture it! I would love to actually install this OTA...
I do appreciate your help in finding somebody who had done the work already. However the OTA that I have waiting on this phone is a slightly different one. the numbers are different 24.51.39.... my educated guess is going to be it is slightly smaller because it contains no Rogers or Telus bloatware. Wind Mobile does not have a single app installed on this phone right outta the box, So I would like to capture it before I send it off to be installed.
I have read many of your posts across multiple threads, and you are obviously quite knowledgeable -> especially in the coding Department!
Are you sure it's going to install?
Once you Root it or various other custom changes the updates will not install.
It checks if you were tampering with the phone and will deny the update.. even if you can download it.
Thanks for the kind words but i am not sure off hand unless i search around.
One thing you try doing is search online etc with the words Blur, Update, Zip, Location
Or if you have a file manager with root you can search for it.
The benefit of the full packages available is they just install on any phone with no checks.
It's also not an update but the full installer.
So i think it's possible you may download an update with patches.
So it will see what you had before and patch those files.
Which could make saving & using the update again later problematic
..especially if you root !
If you upload it publicly we can check and see if it's a full install or a patch by looking at updater-script probably.
If i were you i would keep tabs on the Firmware repositories to see if the Wind package gets uploaded.
Then you will have a full install you can use coming from most others and with the security checks removed.
If you have something that can search your system files installed you can try searching for something that
will probably have Blur in the file name and be a flashable zip file.
If you have TWRP installed i think you can just load that and look around with the Built-In File Manager.
I am eating lunch so i might look on the web soon and check back here.. good luck.
Sorry i have not done it before so maybe someone who has can speak up or you can find one of their topics here.
The OTA update file is in the device main memory in data/data/com.motorola.ccc.ota/app_download
Thanks hedimahf i will save that for future reference.
Also lenigma1too i am pretty sure if you rooted your phone then you can not install that update.
Those type of updates are risky for us that customize our phones.. be careful.. make plans to fix it ahead of time
Unless my phone was stock (not rooted) with the default recovery and an original factory locked bootloader
i myself would not even attempt to install the update.
Google it and see the many people talking about BootLoop problems
I bet there is also little difference between Wind, Rogers or Telus aside from a couple small APK's and the Modem data stuff.
If all three have the same radio band support then i wouldn't worry too much about which one to use.
Although you may end up struggling to get your phone calls and text's etc working again if you switch like that.
The Telus one i tried just had 1 extra APK the "My Telus" app and a shortcut to it on the phone.. i uninstalled it with ease.
Other than that i did not see ANY other app's installed that were not standard on the USA/EU retail versions etc
EDIT:
Oh and the BootLogo was like on Lollipop but slightly more blue.
And the Boot animation was new too.. Marshmallow Telus has "Stitches World" video.
The default wallpapers and the collection of them were like on Lollipop too.
EDIT:
My point was the Telus firmware only had "branding" with that one app.
Otherwise the word Telus does not show up anywhere really.
Also i tend to compare packages so i am keeping my eye out so i can see what is different.
If you want i can PM you if i run across Wind version.

They are intended to used with RSDLite or ADB.
They are found on the big Firmware topic(s) here. (first post over there for links)
You should check out the discussion going on for help with that on those topics for best information.
Putting Firmware from on model onto another may break your ability to make phone calls
and then you would have to try and fix it somehow and it starts to get complicated.
Which is why those other topics are so valuable.. good luck.
I repeat the 2 zip's mentioned are NOT flashable-zip's. (they are just a normal zip file for storage)

Hello.
I just recently got Galaxy S5 which appears to be only sold in Japan. There's some custom firmware installed on it which prevents Android to be updated. Phone doesn't have SIM locked, so any SIM card can be used.
Because the forum doesn't allow me to post link to a screenshot which shows firmware info I'll just write it down.

I'd like to completely wipe this firmware from the device, replace it with the latest Android version (6.0?) and root it. At first I'd like to know if it's even possible to do any kind of firmware changes on this model and what exactly do I need to perform the update/root.
Thanks.
Doesn't look like there is a 6.0 stock ROM for it, but you can upgrade to 5.0 here
http://updato.com/firmware-archive-select-model?r=&v=&q=SCL23
Flash with ODIN (Instructions all over the forum many times)
Okay, instructions on updato seems quite easy to follow so that shouldnt be a problem. Is there any recommended tool for root? I've found a lot of them and I really don't want to mess something up.
PS: How come there's no stock ROM for 6.0 even tho it's been mentioned in some articles that SCL23 model is also supported by Marshmallow update?
Anyone?
Okay, update to 5.0 passed without any issues. There are some default japanese applications on the phone which I cannot uninstall, is it possible to get rid of those somehow?
I have the same device Do you update succeeded or not

Go to this link & download 4.4.2 then follow this tutorial.
Make sure to use key input from the options & use capital letters where needed. All being well you will have everything working again.
Make sure not to use any download manager for the download link. File gets about 100kbps so it'll take a few hours but you will get it.
I did the above then rooted the phone & flashed correct TWRP version to it then flashed 5.0 Lollipop SpaceX rom here. Everything working good & no loss of service on reset or reboot.
Hope it helps
I am trying to root my SM-G930P, and I searched this forum, but I'm completely lost.
I can't find information regarding my phone, and I don't know if I can root it or not with the current rom installed and with which method.
Can I root using the instructions given in the following thread ?
Is there a better suited method for my phone?

As you see, I have SM-G930P and not SM-G930U and there's nothing telling me I can safely apply the same technique in order to get it rooted.
If you can confirm to me I can go ahead, I will glad fully test it.
Thanks for your answer.
I tried this method on P firmware and could not get mobile data to work.
I also have the same phone as the OP and can't find anything recent on rooting this P version phone. I didn't have any issues with rooting s3-s6 on version. Usually the info is more concise and easier to find. I'm not a coder by anymeans, thank you to the people who come up with these roots and rom version. If anyone has any info on rooting P I'd also love the help.
any update on this? on QL1, avoiding the TAA update to RA1 until I know i can root either of them
I am also interested in this...

Same here. been working to to restore it but so far the above tar file you posted is the only one that odin "likes". (all the others fail)
I'm in the same boat with the same phone on Sprint. What about using one of the "one click root" methods such as cf-auto-root. It seems like it will create a custom package for this phone. Has anyone tried it?
Duplicate thread exist with same issue.

Hi,
I know I am late to the party to root this phone, but didn't want to spoil the warranty earlier then got busy with my work. But this phone is getting slow, so I think this is right time to root. As this thread says, I want to root my Asus Z010D. Frankly I never did rooting and there are so many articles when I did google. There are also multiple download links to download ADB, TWRP, SuperSu etc. I am not sure which are right files as some are just labeled as recovery. I created new thread so I can post updates how it goes and ask for help rather than hijacking any other threads.

4. PRO-SuperSU-v2.67
5. A file named recovery from some thread of xda forum of same Asus model
Do I need anything else other than above files?

hi, i have a s5 (klte) SM-G900M the device is from the carrier claro from the Dominican Republic (LatinoAmerica) and im running LOS on the Nov 8 (2017) Build and i haven't updated the OS since then, i have been experiencing some random reboots when using open camera and other occasions, and i want to update the device to the latest build, but i have been told that the new s5 builds require the latest baseband ,back when i installed lineage os , my phone was on lolipop and i installed LOS on the phone without updating to Marshmellow (my bad :l), im running this baseband version: G900MUBU1BOE2 (wich was released in 2015), i have tried to find the "latest" version of the baseband but that seems to be the latest one for my particular device (the Dominican Republic S5) was released in 2015 , and i don't know if istalling another more update version of the baseband of other country, will introduce problems with the carriers from my country (The Dominican republic) , i have a backup of the stock touchwiz rom , but apparently i can't install the OTA because i have TWRP 3.1.1 installed and since it replaced the stock recovery, the OTA is no longer possible to install, i would greatly appreacite any help regarding this situation :/

I couldn't find firmware for Dominican Republic but it looks like Ecuador shares the same firmware as you so try the below
https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/galaxy-s5/SM-G900M/EBE/download/G900MUBS1CQD5/166984/
Or this one from Columbia
https://samsung-firmware.org/download/Galaxy__S5__/58l3/COB/G900MUBS1CQD5/G900MCOB1CPI1/
Place in AP section of odin
Once flashed go into recovery mode and perform a data wipe/factory reset
Also update your twrp version if you want to flash later custom roms
thanks!!
i have a few more questions:
1-)wich version of TWRP do you recomend for lineage 15.1? i heard some people having problems with the latest version
2-) if one day i want to revert to stock how do i aproach this? since my backup is from lolipop , and i dont think that the new firmware will play nice with that (in case i plan to sell the device or something)
3-) do you now if the latest magisk version works well with lineage 15.1?

So you want to update your Baseband Modem to the latest version before updating your LineageOS Firmware to 15.1.
The following link has the latest one for your device that's provided by haggertk. haggertk is one of the Official Lineage Team members.
https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=746010030569966172
Download the file on your PC, place your device in Download Mode (aka Odin Mode), then connect your device to your PC via USB Cable, Open Odin and place the downloaded file in your AP (or PDA) spot in Odin (nothing further) and start the flashing process.
It's fairly quick to accomplish, you won't loose anything on your device and, afterwards, you should be good to go for Updating to the LineageOS 15.1.
Just an FYI... The following is the Official LineageOS 15.1 thread that's specific to the klte devices for support and guidance.

I wish you the best of luck and enjoy LineageOS 15.1!

1 - latest version of twrp - nothing wrong with it
2 - just flash stock firmware via odin
3 - latest version of magisk works fine with lineageos 15.1

This is a tricky question. The issues experienced are not all for the same variant. For example, some of the issues are for G900F but, my G900V hasn't experienced any issues.
Just keep in mind that if you experience any issues, you can always Downgrade it without a problem.

Reverting to stock is not difficult because you just need the Stock Firmware and, possibly, the pit file (that's also available on the SamMobile forum and androidfilehost as well).
3-) do you now if the latest magisk version works well with lineage 15.1?
