Galaxy S5 Device Nickname? - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5

Hey people, so I just ditched my galaxy s3 for an s5. I noticed a few things.
1. There are no AOSP based ROM'S for the Galaxy S5
2. There isn't a device nickname, my galaxy s3 was d2att what is this one called?
3. This phone is easy to root since June 2014 so why such low development?

Thanks for the device ID
Wow locked bootloader? People can still root the phone though. Do you think anyone will ever manage to find a workaround?

Wrong section but whatevs.
1) correct.
2) the nickname is AT&T Galaxy S5
3) Such low development because there's only so much you can do with a device with a locked bootloader. Only ROMs using then stock kernel, which only Touchwiz ROMs can use. AOSP and such require a different kernel, which cannot be flashed with the locked bootloader.

Thanks, I guess I am okay with touchwiz for now. Samsung usually slow down when they update the OS. I'm thinking I will want to root when they update to 4.4.4 or L.

If you think you might want to root "ever", you may want to do it now. The latest OTA kills root and ther is no fix yet.

Downgrade flash via Odin to the stock image will allow root and safestrap recovery....
No worries getting back to a rooted device if needed....g

I highly doubt they will keep the bootloaders locked when the 1 year warranty is up.
Looks like petitions for unlocking the AT&T variant are just two votes away from actually getting noticed by AT&T.
I doubt they will budge though. The hacking bounty will get it done.

This is not my work.
This Rom is ported by spegelius. I've found this here: http://forum.slimroms.net/topic/100-galaxy-s4-active/
Everything seems to be ok.
Bugs:
720p video recording produces crap video(but 1080p works fine)
HDR
Download:
-Rom
-Gapps
Screenshots:
I am sorry I posted in General but i couldn't post in Development.
Thanks for making this more public, this way more people will get the chance to try it
Just one important hint, @spegelius didn't port it, he compiled that beast from Source, which is an important fact
I can confirm that this is a good, daily driver for sure!

Oh hey, thanks for putting this up . I never got around to it, didn't seem that too many users were interested about it. But good to hear it works for people. And about the build, i used LeJay's kernel sources etc to make it happen.
Happy to know about this! Already dowwloaded it but I need my phone working this weekend and I can't risk to have any kind of problem, I will surelly try it as soon as I get home next week.
Thanks a lot! Hope more people start working on I9295, my son's Moto G just got the OTA 4.4 update, lucky him!

It's 4.3.1. For non-international S4 Active, there would need to be proper kernel at least...

This looks good. Has anyone (besides spegelius) flashed it? I'm reasonably satisfied with my rooted 4.2.2 stock ROM and really want to move to 4.4. On my SIII I already had KitKat and now I have to settle with 4.2
Cheers
I installed this ROM but google play acts strange. It doesn't reinstall all my packages and still refuses to install for instance swype. I chose for the aroma gapps but will do a new wipe and try another gapps
Cheers
Must have been the gapps. Up and running now and reinstalling apps. Looks good
Cheers
I have several issues. My titanium restored Wi-Fi passwords are disappearing each time. The phone discharges as fast as it is charging. It will probably be empty after 1 hour on battery.
I think I will switch to my LG G2 I recently acquired... any ideas?

Will we get a recovery that can flash ASOP ROMS?

I know we have Safestrap, and I am very thankful for that. However, I was wondering if we will ever be able to get the recovery's I remember from the Galaxy Nexus, and the EVO?
...or is the Galaxy S5 doomed to never be able to unlock the bootloader? I'll stick with the phone, it's a beast....I'll just be sad if we'd never be able to flash all kinds of custom ROMS.
We can flash custom roms.

Custom roms are making their way to the s5 and the s5 active. For recovery you want to go with safestrap. As far as the bootloader goes it's up to a highly skilled individual to get this to us cause I doubt AT&T or Verizon is gonna get off their duff and do us justice.
All that aside I really enjoy the phone. right now I'm on stock awaiting the next release of koolkit rom for the s5 active. There is however a bounty for the unlocking of our bootloaders for both AT&T and Verizon. I do believe it is around $8,000 for AT&T and $9,000 for Verizon(not exact numbers just estimates). Hopefully we will see it happen till then enjoy your phone.:thumbup:

AOSP Roms? NO is not going to happen. We only have 'Safestrap' and the only thing we can flash are TW Roms since we can not touch the Kernel due to the locked bootloader.
Honestly I'm almost 100% sure the bootloader is not going the get unlocked ever. So if you like AOSP you will need to swap your AT&T S5 for an international version or TMO version.

[Q] How to root S5 Active (SM-G870A) G870AUCU1BOC5

I'm trying to root my S5 Active. It's never been rooted before and I've never rooted a phone before besides a simple one touch with towelroot on an old spare phone. It's updated to Android 5.0 with the 3.4.0 Kernel. Any help with simple instructions would be great. I'm new to rooting but I'm good with computers so if whatever I need to do is explained I'll be good. Thanks.
P.S. Would towelroot work? I've heard it doesn't with 5.0 and don't want to try and have something happen.

Is this the safest way?
yes
This method says you already have to have root. Is there a way to get root if your already on 5.0 with no root?
no
so after some reading i found this in
xda-developers AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5 AT&T Galaxy S5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting Tried downgrading from 5.0 to 4.4.2 now bricked...HELP PLEASE by dmyszko141
post #7 thru #11 it discusses how to downgrade the g870a (s5active) from 5.0 back to 4.4.2
i have not tried this yet, but probably will soon.
towelroot
I've tried to use the towelroot system on my s5 active and it will not work, the end game tells you - your phone is not supported. so it is a just a waste of your time to try that root. I am in the same boat and looking a root program too. so good luck.
S-5 Active SM-G870A phone and root issue
I hope this is the correct spot for this post.
I have a Galaxy S5 Active SM-G870A that was rooted when using 4.2.2. When it was still rooted I did an update to 4.4.4 (shows G870AUCU1AOA2) which took away the root status and now shows as a "Custom ROM" when booting. I cannot get to Lollipop update because the update fails, I think due to the Custom ROOM status. I wanted to re-root the phone to use an app to reset the custom ROM issue but cannot find a CF-Auto Root file for the AT&T Active. I was going to try flashing it with Odin using the NE4 kernel to root it with towel root, but I can't find the original kernel to download to flash it back to after I root it. When I originally rooted the phone I had XP on my home PC, after updating my PC I no longer have the information saved that I used to root it the first time. I know it was with Odin, but don't remember how and have been doing periodic internet searches to no avail.
This has been going on for quite a while now and is driving me crazy because I cannot root the phone or update it in it's current condition. Can someone help me? Thanks so much for your time.

Wondershare is really sketchy (kind of like KingRoot, which has been known to send your device information to China). I would not recommend using it.

Is my bootloader locked? and is there a way to tell?

is my bootloader locked?
i just bought a Galaxy Note 3 sim unlocked at&t 4.4.2 sm-n900a
""""""(this question is the most important to me even if my initial question gets answered) is there a way to check like through a app or adb or something like that to see if the bootloader is lock or not?"""""
i already rooted it and want to know for sure before i throw on Safestrap so i don't brick my new phone.
i want to flash a rom.
Also my note 3 is asking me to update the firmware if i do will that lock it or unlock the bootloader if it is or isn't?
The bootloader on the att note 3 is definitely locked and cannot be unlocked which also means you must use safestrap. Twrp is not an option with a locked bootloader.

There are builds with some Note8 features. Some of them are based on a S8 firmware with Note8 extras, at this time they are almost the same. The one I'm running right now on my Sprint phone is based on the Stock Note5 firmware but with some S8 theming along with some of those Note8 extras like the live message. It passes the SafetNet, That's a big deal for me because I use Snapchat and Pokemon Go. Also has other features like the Edge panels and much more.
