Hello !,
My first post here, I've just got myself a new phone (from ebay) The phone was supposed to be unlocked but it wasn't, so I bought an unlock code online that worked ok. I have an Samsung update available on the info screen(?) but I'm unsure whether to apply this update in fear of messing the phone unlocked state, also the phone has no start-up logos other than the Samsung one. I have attached a screen grab of the OS as it is now. Can anyone tell me about this please ?
Dave.

It doesnt work, the devices isnt supported according to the app.
towelroot worked on 4.3, so maybe it's only not supported on the paper?

If you have root they are in /cache/fota_dn and will be a long string of numbers/letters.

CWM_6.0.4.6_Non-Touch_GT-I9506.tar < thats the one i tried and it did pass the flash but still i got standard recovery.
The phone state is "changed / own" its not official anymore but still same thing no root no custom recovery.
I do not have 4.4,2 installed but that post says that the root supports 4.4.2 on i9506

i guess its with non-official firmware they managed to root.. The version im runing came out yesterday.
I will give it another go and flash an older recovery, there where a few to try.
I will let you guys know if it works.
None of the above methods worked with me, i upgrade my phone yesterday..

I can confirm that none of the earlier root methods work.
The thread about rooting and installing custom recovery is probably for older version of 4.4.2.
flashing custom recovery works.
I used the following recovery version, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2757538
Unticked reboot, and after flash was done i forced it to recovery and after that i flashed root

I installed the clockwork recovery from 4.3 and then flash the supersu.zip. works perfect.
I use the normal org. Samsung Rom

I would say I agree but all s5 roms work on all s5 devices as long as they're not for the "s5 active". That means they work on all carrier models except for Verizon because they completely locked their bootloader. In theory, we should be able to flash the rom without any issues but that's looking like it's not going to happen unless we get a skilled Dev in here to help.

Its a lot to ask on someone but maybe if someone is willing to odin the hong kong(i think thats the region or place that this miui was created) firmware with the regions bootloader and firmware then flash the miui rom to see if that does anything? This wqs created i think back in march or april on the forum this rom was posted in so maybe they have something we dont? Because if i remember correctly the asia galaxy s5 differs fr ours as far as firmware and modem goes because i have had issues booting certain cm11 roms with the wrong firmware/modem. Just trying to offer any help but again i do not have a computer and am worried to flash other firmware that may hard brick my device :/ sorry...

You need a Korean SIM-card to have a Korean CSC, which then allows you to install the beta update. If you live in Germany and your service provider is O2, your CSC will be German instead of Korean. This blocks the installation. It doesn't make any sort of a difference if the phone was originally bought from Korea or if the language is Korean, only the inserted SIM-card's country matters.

So there is no way for me to get the beta...
I registered on Samsung members earlier and tries to manually update through settings... Didn't work. Tried again a few minutes later and it downloaded.
Hating the new navigation bar. It's either sitting there for you to use or its completely hidden and you have to use gestures to swipe up at the point where the button would be
On the old software I had my bar set as hidden, then you swiped up to reveal and pressed what you wanted

Dowoad latest firmware of UK BTU and download your own one too.
Flash your phone through odin by using both firmwares you downloaded.
*In BL, AP, CP use UK BTU firmware files
* In CSC use your own firmware CSC like O2.
Once you flash it and if it is successful like mine, then go to recovery and install the pie update zip file as Update from SD card. It will update you to pie by still keeping your csc and data hopefully.
I have attached my phone screenshots in case.

u can flash using odin any pie firmware if same model number, ie n960f/d.
sure u know how to flash via odin since u in xda forum, also whether simply flashing odin firmware will void knox or not.
Funny how Samsung is handling this. Having a Note 9 in Malaysia is like having the best hardware with appalling after sales software support. ... Even Chinese competitors like oneplus 6t and huawei mate 20 pro are on Pie here. No wonder Samsung is losing its ground!!!

Hi,
I'm curious and really tempting to do so.
Just wondering - by doing this - will not affect our installed apps, right? Finger cross (as i don't see anything saying required to wipe data / internal / factory reset)
How's the One UI performance overall after you installed it?

i did a factory reset after installation. but that was my choice. i was still able to use the apps without the reset. performance wise.. the phone felt smoother after the reset but that will be the case even if i did not update i guess.
