Restore firmware to original by KIES

I just check and this method is available for now for Samsung galaxy S5 AT&T version. You need to use KIES 3.

Try it take pics and report back. Thanks!

If you can confirm, you could possibly, one day, be on a list of heroes to us all.

I restored my Att S5 and there is conformation of one person in thread too. Just not sure if after last AT&T update will work or will brick your phone.
Swiping from dark side of Galaxy S5.

Turning the ATT galaxy s5 into the generic samsung galaxy s5??

Would it be easily possible to change out the firmware/software motherboard with the replacement part found and purchased online, making the phone unlocked assuming the new part came out of or is a new replacement for a non carrier specific S5. If so, anyone know where to find. Ill buy and do it within the next week dep on price. Thanks for any advice!! Also info on different 4g network chips that can handle more frequencies and still work with the firmware (custom or stock)

Are you kidding? ??? With what we have on ATT S5 with lock bootloader and no root make genetic phone? He is talking about to replace main board on phone. I think easier way is to buy t-mobile phone. Proof me wrong.

the board to replace is still quite expensive besides remember that some variants are slightly different on the inside and the frame might not fit perfectly with the board when you try to put it back together and even if it does i dont know how that will affect the whole ip67 water proof-ness......

Bootloader unlock discussion for Galaxy S6 Edge Device

So, according to drakon.us, Samsung has provided factory bootloader unlocker in the Samsung App store.

I'm in preorder hell waiting for my gold S6E from Verizon so I can't verify independently. Is this something we can use?

I'd be interested to see if we could get our hands on that app. I've got some friends from Taiwan and Mainland that I could reach out to... Maybe one of them can grab it for us. Anyway, hope I'm not posting **** information here; definitely not my intent. What we do know however, that there is a factory unlocker out there. Whether it can work with our region is an unknown but, it might be worth a look.

I don't have much faith in the Verizon varient getting root. Going to take some getting used to cuz I've come from rooted phones since I entered the smartphone world.

This is definitely good info. I might try and get on chat with Samsung to see if they'd have a download link...probably a long shot, but worth it.

I won't hold my breath, but I'm interested in hearing how this goes as well. The lack of root on the Note 4 after being out since last year is keeping me from swapping out my s5 for a s6 edge.

This would be great, but alas I am sure Verizon has made steps to ensure that it wont be that easy for us!

S6 active att locked on samsung account login screen***

hi my names nina and i am a innocent woman that bought a phone off this guy on craigslist for 100 dollars .he said it would work on T mobile and he said it was unlocked and he lied, its locked!!:crying::crying::crying: i gave it to my brother to try and bypass the samsung account screen, he spent days on you tube trying to root or do whatever you guys call it, i don know. I'm really stressed out because its supposed to be for my new job that takes this rabbit software for android .i can't use my iPhone for this app. XDA is my last resort to make use of this s6 active or I'm screwed because i don't have more money to buy another phone:crying: .its in mint condition and is water resistant and its doing nothing but sitting on the table!! Some one please save me ,my job starts in 5 days !
ps . theres no way to enable OEM unlock or usb debugging .whatever the hell that means ,my brother told me to put this on here, hope it helps.

What exactly is it telling you? Does it seem the phone was stolen? Have you checked the imei to make sure it is not blacklisted? I believe swappa.com has a free imei check to see if it's tied into another person's account. $100 seems a little too cheap for this device.

Did you go into recovery and perform a factory reset? You do that and should be good to go.

What about firmware recovery through your desktop?

I don't know anything about desktop firmware recovery, show mehow

I haven't worked with it in a while. But, go onto Samsung’s website and bring up the support page.
http://www.samsung.com/us/support/downloads
Select mobile and fill out the info it asks you.
After you installed the software, look for software recovery. I'm on mobile right now, I'd give you a direct link to the software otherwise.

Im rooted, the mixerpath is different than before. Samsung added a lot now and doesn't look nowhere near as the file as in the note 4 mixerpath file.

When you get it, I strongly suggest to ask for the phone so you can set it up but skip signing into Samsung. Immediately go into software update and make sure its on manual and software update auto off. Tell them you do nit want the new fw update to decline, some sales person will hit that update once they activate the sim. Turn off the phone until you get home to root. MAKE SURE to boot into recovery and not sprint logo as some people are having issues following step 4 and letting phone fully boot. Once you odin sprint fw and it gies into blue screen, finishes wiping (you'll see the bar go full) and it shuts off, hit the buttons for recovery immediately if you miss that step you'll have signal issues, BE WARNED. If it goes into boot logo, just hit thw buttom for download mode and odin sprint fw again and pay attention. Good luck man. There is the video on the same post for tmobile root but the guy roots the verizon using tmobile steps. Follow what he does.
