Hello. Recently I got Galaxy S5. Then after trying to root it I realized it's a chinese clone which haa complicated my life. I tried to root it and put in a wrong version of Clockworkmod. As a result, I fortunately haven't bricked the phone, but my bootloader is not working anymore. It doesn't load up. Only thing that works is the factory mode. Now the problem is - I want to get the phone to it's stock ROM and firmware, but because there is no way to access bootloader, nor download mode, I can't use Odin to do so. Is there any way I could flash the phone with a stock ROM and make the bootloader work again? The OS works fine, only thing that doesn't work is the bootloader. Thank you.
Samsung Galaxy S5 clone (G900S - South Korean), MT6589. Android version 4.4.2 Kit Kat, Kernel version 3.4.5, rooted.
You need to identify what model you have, obtain the stock firmware for that model and restore that. There are forums that concentrate on the clone models, use Google to find them, and they will go into more detail about your options.
Beware that many things on XDA will brick or worse a clone as the apps and advice here are not intended for a clone which is completely different under the hood.

Thank you for your reply. Well tge stock firmware is secondary for me. The problem is with the corrupt bootloader. I think it tries to load the CWM, but due to it's incompatibility it cannot. Is there any way to replace the bootloader only? Without the working bootloader, I can't do anything to fix it or to flash a custom ROM. I haven't find anything related to it. Or at least not yet.

Try to get your money back bro. If it's a chinese clone s5 God only knows what it's running. It's not a Samsung nor an s5 for that matter so the recovery and Odin won't work.

Well, everything worked well until I tried to flash it. The reason was corrupt GPS. I found a way to fix the GPS but it required root and somehow I clashed it with incorrect CWM and the problem was born :/

Dude, get out of this forum or you`ll break your device permanently. You don`t have a Galaxy S5 and thuss neither a Qualcomm 801 cpu fow which these roms are build for. Find a forum somewhere for your device. Good luck
A normal (full) software image would include a bootloader. Separating a bootloader is much less common.
And as several people have already warned you.. quite a lot of the advice, procedures, firmware, et cetera on XDA will further damage your clone. Your clone may look like an S5 but it is very different internally. If you truly want a completely unusable phone, a literal paperweight, then continue.
Find another forum that has firmware and advice on how to program your specific clone.

Was the purchase of this clone made inside or outside of the USA?
With the approach of the Gear VR, and more users interested in LDUs for use with it, I'm going to create an info and file repo regarding flashing and prepping them for use. A current problem aside from the sparse and disorganized information is the lack of files available. I'd like any help I can get in recovering these odin files for the SM-G920X. I know of a couple of sites that have them, but they are behind strict foreign pay-walls. I will mirror these files online and offline once they're found
Starting with the most important, we need -

I dont understand the reason to hunt g920x packages, when with a little modification you can easly flash g920f on LDU

Well, from a completion perspective, we compile all the packages for all variants, although some have little to no changes between them, so it makes sense to include one of the "strangest" variants out there.
But in particular what we gain from this is that LDUs cannot easily update their bootloader without g920x packages, and as such we only get iffy support on 5.1.1 roms if we started on 5.0.2 and never got it to update before flashing to g920f roms.

Unfortunately the odin files will be the most helpful element we can get, but if you have TWRP installed you could make a nand backup after a fresh wipe of the demo unit rom so that we can have it handy for testing.

Bricked Galaxy S6 SM-G920X
Hi everyone i'm from poland so sorry for my english, yesterday i bought my Galaxy S6 LDU, but i can't turn the phone on. I Can only go into download mode, and when i try to install any rom in odin there is command : "there is no pit partition" and operation is failed.. Can anyone send me The PIT file for SM-G920X?
I know it can be done. My phone is an sm-s902l, a klte variant. It is specifically a klte VZW. G900v ROMs usually work, but in this instance,(modem/bootloader), they don't. At least not on my phone. Odin fails every time. Flash fire fails. Nu TWRP doesn't offer any help. Is anybody have any idea how to do this?
The only firmware available from sammobile is 4.4.2
Help!
I'm going to keep bumping this thread in hopes that someone will see it and help me out. WHY CANT I GET G900V FIRMWARE ON MY PHONE??
Does anyone know why he 900v firmware will not flash on to my SM - s902l?

I didn't have any luck with the stock VZW MM ROM either. I use the Lollipop MOAR_VZW_6.6.2_BOC4 ROM for everyday use and it works perfectly. About once a week I try the latest CM 13 kltevzw nightly build. Except for a stuttering problem when sending audio through Bluetooth, CM 13 gives MM functionality and I'm still using the S902LUDU3AOG2 Baseband version.
I wonder why we can't get Verizon stock mm to work...
Can I install any Snapdragon ROM on my G935T?
I don't think that will work for us on Tmobile because of the boot loader not being released issue.
It has been screamed that the S7 Edge will not be able to use any kernels or TWRP because of the Bootloaders not being released by T-mobile like that with AT&T or Verizon.
You may flash a rom, but there may be lag issues because the rom will not function correctly as intended with it's accompanying released kernel.
You may not be able to tweak the prop build either.
If I am incorrect, please chime in anyone . . .
Good Question because I am too waiting for an update & a tweaked rom to flash.

Yes - on a rooted 935T you can install an Echoe MM ROM below:

That is basically it.

See answer below it seems that if we root our device we can install any Snapdragon ROM

That is the only one for S7E. There is also an earlier mod that was applied to the rooted stock MM ROM.
What I am curious about is whether we could get an exynos MM ROM to run on it after it is rooted. It would have to be based on a signed Samsung TW based ROM.
The bootloader and modem would stay as is on TMobile, so the question is would it run with its exynos kernel, and if not, would it work with the eng snapdragon kernel ODIN'd if it will not boot up?
I have used international ROMs for years on my S4, but it was rooted the traditional way and the bootloader was never locked.
Hello, I have a Tab A6 2016 (SM-T585) that won't boot with the error message "could not do normal boot, invalid kernel length"
This came out of the blue, as its completely stock.
It's not rooted so I have no clue if I can flash a new oem rom to it.
Recovery menu is not available so I can't try hard reset, only download mode is available.
I'd like to fix it so my kids and girlfriend has a spare (I currently use an old outdated lenovo)
Anyone have a solution or workaround for this issue? Or do I just drop it off at the recycling centre?
You could try flashing stock rom with Odin. Helped me with similar problem. All data remains
