So, I'm at a total and complete loss as to what to do. I have spent hours upon hours googling, and searching xda and trying step after step after guide after guide and I canNOT fix my S5! I've tried recovery, I've tried Odin and there has got to be something I'm missing. When I plug up the phone into my laptop, it sort of recognizes it, in the sense that it makes the notification noise of it being recognized, as with any external device. Odin picks it up as well. The issue is when trying to boot up the phone, it's stuck on the Samsung Galaxy S5 custom, android etc screen. it will not go past this. i'm almost in tears right now, and just want to get the phone working again. Is there anyone out there that can help???
Tiny update.
So I tried another method, and still having issues. Only difference is, I get past the powered by android screen, but then when getting to the Samsung with the color and oval it freezes and shuts down. One step forward, 2 steps back.

it is the 900a (at&t). after spending hours upon hours. i finally managed to do something and get it back to working again. the band and the firm ware match, and i managed to get rid of the unauthorized actions detected message.
good to hear!! (or see, rather LoL) usually a flash in Odin with the correct tarball fixes most issues with S5's

what do you mean? the posts should still be wherever you found it. And giving thanks to the folks who helped out is one of the things that makes this forum so great. this place is so selfless in the time, energy and knowledge shared by its users!

well, let's just say i have a folder of 26 links, majority from here on trying to find a solution on how to root and consequently unbrick my phone when I messed it up. that's probably not even all of them. I only posted on one asking a question, but it was about upgrading the firmware (still waiting on a reply on that, lol). so I have no clue which post it was that was finally successful in restoring my phone.

Yes. You can downgrade 15a with any KDZ with Uppercut.

Yes, it works. I've done it. I dont know what more you need, but I ain't doing any more than trying to help the guy out. You're on the internet, so if you need that much verification then do it yourself.

Wow really. It was a simple question. I used the software on my own V20 but not from that build. Verizon inabled the antirollback on this new update. that's why I asked. Plus if it was my phone I would do it but being its my wife's I rather be safe then sorry. Last I new XDA is were you read and ask questions. Ill be sure to not ask you for any info or help in the future.

I literally answered a question, then you followed up by requesting verification on that answer. That's pretty rude dude, if that's how you handle your questions then yeah don't ask please.
But in an effort to help, I wasn't aware of any anti-rollback in place. However, since I personally wanted to try the newest update, I just took the Ota to 15a. Then, using Uppercut, went back to 12a.
If that's your plan, to go back to either 12a or 13a, I'd recommend right after Uppercut completes to do a factory reset as you will likely get overwhelmed with force closes (kdz with uppercut doesn't wipe data). Then after you're on a clean slate 12a or 13a, right away enable airplane mode so your phone doesn't hang trying to download everything. All you're interested in is enabling USB debugging for dirty santa (i assume).
Make sense?

When I ask verified I ment was it in a thread or something didn't know for 100% if you did it or read it and if I'm not mistaken the last update was also bootloader unlockable. I read the forum a lot I ment no disrespect when asking the question. As you can tell I've been a member about as long as you and come to XDA very often. Granted yes Google does work but when i looked in to it about the downgrade all I found was how the verizon V20 has gotten root witch was a old article as we all know. I unlocked mine on version 12. Thank you for your reply it was helpful and now I feel safe enough to do my wife's phone.

i figured 13A be ok but still some issues that i am trying to figure out and making the phone stable, this is the first phone i got with crappy software and i do thank you for answering my downgrade question

i read your messages here, i know the feeling but i have not faced any liers in XDA, i been on here for years and have my youtube channel to make root videos to help others understand the methods better as i have a hard time reading them my self but enough talk and all i got a better understanding and make videos to help noobs
however i do face smart a$$es with the let me google this for you and knowing that it wont be on the top to what i am looking for, i faced that issue when i got lucky to my on android 5.1.1 on my v10 and some people did not wont to make it easy, it took me a few hours to find to do a 30 min root method
some times you dont need a verified post and do understand about the anti rollback but i dont see anyone lieing to make you purpusly mess up your phone or they can face problems
there are a few people i knew that are no longer on xda cause of issues and xda banned them for it, so you have no worries. if you want me to make a video of downgrading 15A to 13A that is rootable i be glad to take that guys word, credit him on the video and show proof

Yes, I have faced similar issues. But I always fall back on Uppercut. If you're truly stuck then try to wipe everything including internal storage, system, etc. Then do the Uppercut method, that always fixes every issue I've had.
Edit:to be clear, I've had plenty of issues similar to you. However, rather than identify the problem I always just wipe the slate clean. With that said, I suspect a lot of what you're facing and issues I had were kernel related.

If you wanted to troubleshoot what you have now, you could try a different kernel or even stock boot.img would be best. If still no change then always fall back to the full wipe and Uppercut.

I personally use reStock or modStock. Those both have been successful for me.
Check here for the stock boot.img https://forum.xda-developers.com/v20/development/device-kernel-aka-boot-img-s-carrier-t3533426
No need for the shoutout or anything. I'm just passing the info along that might help.

Well my phone got so worse that i could not make a facebook call to my girl. It was always choppy like wtf. So i took your first idea. Wipe the POS, system, cache etc. And uppercut it. Now it runs snappy with 13a with root and restock. I checkout the link when i get home. As for the shoutout its for the help you give me. The devs will get their thanks for making things possible i give this phone another month and see if it works. If it dose with all bs off of it (bloatware) i make a video for those who was asking for it. Thanka for the help you are awesome and i keep you updated how my v20 is. My brothers wife has same issues i do and if my phone works maybe she will let me root hers. Just hope they dont give out a update with anti rollback

Glad you got yours taken care of. Did you do the airplane mode thing? I only bring it up because I flip flop back and forth so many times from stock unroot to root access (I'm indecisive).
I'm not 100% sure on this, but I think as long as we have the kdz file, there will always be a way to downgrade. I think the kdz is a total device wide wipe/reinstall regardless of whatever version was on before.

true but i want to know if you dont mind testing new OTA when they come out to see if they can downgrade, if you dont wont to its fine i dont wont to take the chance as the phone has been a POS and hoping the full wipe/ uppercut fixes my issue forever at least, reasion im asking to test is im pretty sure my brothers wife updates her phone and i am trying to get to to let me have the phone so i can fix it and give it back so she can atleast be happy with a phone with no regrets
I have a VS995 I took the OTA 15A updated and I just used LGUP to downgrade back to 12A
Off subject question did you notice your GPS taking forever to find your location on google maps or waze while your VS995 was rooted. I kept having this issue so I went back to full stock and the issue went away.

Only time i had that issue was when i was in a plane. Hehe im 40,000ft so im close to a damn satellite hehe
But no i dont have it take forever its been working fine for me when rooted
I have compiled for you an Odin-Flashable downgrade to original Nougat ROM.
Does NOT have Google FRP in this version (the ROM came stock this way; unmodified), this is useful if you forgot your Google email.
Download Odin3 and the .tar file HERE
- Open Odin v3.12.7
- Plug in phone to PC
- Simply boot into download mode (Powered off- Hold HOME+POWER+VOLUME DOWN)
- Click AP
- Select J327T1.tar
- Click Start
Once it finished it will reboot and update. It is going to get stuck on 32%, do not worry.
It will take a second, but the recovery menu will pop up. Select Reboot System and it will take some time to get to the OS but you will eventually have Nougat pop up and ready to go!
Enjoy!
*UPDATE*
In the download links I have the "Factory Binary" Custom ROM. It's pretty useful in messing with the phone software, although I do not know the specific use. Use the same method above to install the ROM.
Also, I do believe you can edit the .tar and add TWRP by downloading the recovery.img from my link and replacing it in the .tar and following the same steps. I have not tested because I was helping my brother access his phone because he forgot his Google account after he reset his phone.

Good ish' Brad, now hopefully someone will get twrp and I'll cough up the money for another cheap t1
Ok so its not truly the factory binary, its an emulator of that, meaning any changes were not flashed over as in other devices. but i have been thinking and, i'll post this in the original as well, magisk....only works if you completely wipe the device first, same with custom roms, i never tried that when i had the j3, bricks be damned we got odin3 and i got scripts to get outta brick an into download.
if someone would be ao kind as to factory reset and tr installing twrp, that wuld be amazing, i have been working with the note 4 sprint variant and there are a few steps in installng custom roms that we were over looking

Only way I can help you is by telling you go buy yourself a PC if you're going to start routing and or developing the firmware on Android devices it is extremely hard nearly impossible these days with Android devices running version Android 6.0 and up to root without a PC the best and easiest way I've found to root a Android device is to First install a custom recovery like TWR p or ClockworkMod and have a unlocked bootloader then from there you can easily download SuperSU and Flash it with a firmware flashing application like ClockworkMod ROM manager that is downloadable on Play Store what I'm trying to say is if you are using kingroot or kingoroot you're going to be hitting that button 4 million years and nothing will happen either by an Android that has a lower version like any version below 5.0 or get yourself a computer and do some research because it is very easy to do the stuff as long as you know what you're doing if you don't it seems way more complicated than it actually is you're in the right place here on XDA to learn everything you need to know so you're off to a great start I hope this helps have a good one good luck
So is there no way we can downgrade further to a firmware that includes the developer option to oem unlock?... I'm about to try and flash what the op posted right now... I'll post results

I had the same problem recently. A factory reset solved the problem for me. Just back up any data you might want to keep on the phone before you do it.
Once complete and the device reboots, it should bring you through the device set up procedure again with no problems.

thank you so much bro. I did what you guide me and the result is work! wow
you really save me
i did rooted the oneplus 6t to get the oneplus McLaren logo on startup by a normal 6t.
with the twrp flash.
i did install the McLaren module by magisk and works for so far.
phone boots up with no probs at all except one thing i am trying to figure out.
when the phone boots up there is a for a few seconds the message bootloader unlocked with a Orange triangle and goes then into the McLaren logo and starts up further as a normal unrooted 6t.
anyways no i am trying to figure out how i can get rid off/bypass that google bootloader unlock message in the first few seconds at startup.
found out that it is possible to get rid of the message by other brands/types of phones.
but i cant put the things together howto do this on a 6t nor find any related information on the web.
it is not a really big issue/problem for me.
but i want to write a howto get the complete McLaren experience on a normal 6t included fingerprint animation themes and the ar thing (for the booklet) so far i have everything complete except that message.
and to make a complete howto i also want to include how to get rid of that message.
also i found out that there is a way to buy the McLaren back cover so it Will look and handle as a McLaren edition and then the only difference Will be the extra ram what is missing and the warp charge (hardware related stuff which cant be changed).
any help on this one is appreciated.
PS i know i can get rid of the message by unrooting it and locking the bootloader again but that's not what i am looking for.
trying to keep the McLaren things altogether without going back to full stock (and without bricking the phone off course).
best regards.

It's been possible before with certain older devices, it's more complicated than you think. Chances are very slim.. closer to a not possible, if ever.

I indeed found out that it is very complicated on other phones but it could be done on older phones i Will wait the reactions on this xda thread thanks in advance for replying.
No need for this thread when there's already a WIP thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-6t/development/wip-dissecting-bootloader-aka-rid-t3878470
Thread in the wrong section (I don't even know in which section it should go, let's say Q&A), and subject is as mentioned above been discussed since years for OnePlus phones and the short answer will always be the same
YOU CAN'T GET RID OF THAT SCREEN WHILE UNLOCKED
Read the thread linked above should have been the first thing done

Go to that thread and you will find that it isn't possible.
You will need a signed boot loader from OnePlus that does not have the splash screen. Good luck with that.
It has to be there for Android trusted boot. Google requires it.
Thanks for pointing out the right topic didn't find it sorry forum posting it in the wrong section made a thread over here because xda said when i made a account i couldnt posted it in the developer section because i am a junior member (found that a bit funny,i am familiar with Linux backtrack, android rooting and all the stuff what Comes with it and also a bit programming with Windows) but thanks anyways topic can be closed i Will continue on the wip thread as a junior ? my wife got her degree in Windows networking programming but she has to ask me always hunny can You help me with something i cant solve (and i haven't got any degrees at school Just plain old hobby playing with software and stuff)
Some devices have fixed for that like https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/guide-remove-unlocked-bootloader-warning.4069207/
So stop say that "YOU CAN'T DO THAT"
Any news on this matter for OP?

i did rooted the oneplus 6t to get the oneplus McLaren logo on startup by a normal 6t.
with the twrp flash.
i did install the McLaren module by magisk and works for so far.
phone boots up with no probs at all except one thing i am trying to figure out.
when the phone boots up there is a for a few seconds the message bootloader unlocked with a Orange triangle and goes then into the McLaren logo and starts up further as a normal unrooted 6t.
anyways no i am trying to figure out how i can get rid off/bypass that google bootloader unlock message in the first few seconds at startup.
found out that it is possible to get rid of the message by other brands/types of phones.
but i cant put the things together howto do this on a 6t nor find any related information on the web.
it is not a really big issue/problem for me.
but i want to write a howto get the complete McLaren experience on a normal 6t included fingerprint animation themes and the ar thing (for the booklet) so far i have everything complete except that message.
and to make a complete howto i also want to include how to get rid of that message.
also i found out that there is a way to buy the McLaren back cover so it Will look and handle as a McLaren edition and then the only difference Will be the extra ram what is missing and the warp charge (hardware related stuff which cant be changed).
any help on this one is appreciated.
PS i know i can get rid of the message by unrooting it and locking the bootloader again but that's not what i am looking for.
trying to keep the McLaren things altogether without going back to full stock (and without bricking the phone off course).
best regards.

Try using Universal SafetyNet Fix module. It hides the unlocked bootloader from system too

That module does nothing for the message that appears during boot.

That's the difference. You talking about Xiaomi in a OnePlus thread, very different breed. Many apologies fam.
On my other phones there's been a method to cover it up. For Motorola devices, there are many custom splash screens that are an overlay, covering the words with an image

It's impossible on this device because the OnePlus 6/6T is made different from other devices and that warning cannot be modified due to how it is made. This was the very first thing I set out to do and from searching on our forums I learned this to be true. It's impossible on 6/6t.

This is something a lot of people need to understand.
All androids devices are not equal. Depending on the device even the bootloader is different so the same tricks don't work on all devices.
Has their been ways for other devices? Yes by exploiting a hole in the system. This is still an actively updated device. You will have to wait a few before a hole like that can be found and more importantly not patched.
Now on the other hand. This is Xda. Nothing is impossible. So by all means dig in and find the hole and come back and share it. I'm sure there are those here willing o help.
