Hey guys I bought a S5 for a good price for someone as gift just opened it not to long ago and can't update to Lolipop without AT&T sim I was looking for odin files to update it but I can't.
Phone came with 4.4.2 but it's not root-able.
Can anyone point me in right direction where to find odin lp files? SM-G900A

Not sure why is not root able if it has 4.4.2. Read the entire OP and you should be able to root.

It's with newer kernel that's why it's for someone who really does not need root just working fine,would you happen to know where I can find 4.4.4 files and then to 5.0 LP files for odin? thanks for quick response.

I don't know where the files are. If you read that OP in the link i have you it will tell you that you need to download the nce file then use towel root to root. It will work. Then in that same thread you will be able to upgrade to LP.

Another question is SD card needed for this? I don't see them saying anything about it in this thread hopefully.. the device won't be mine so I wanna keep it as stock and usable as possible but root will come in handy to remove bloat

Yes. Use the ap slot to downgrade. You do not need sd to do it. After you are rooted read the top of the op about how to get Flashfire. You'll also need busy box i think.

what's funny is I tried to root with towel then kingroot now on boot shows custom when it's really not lol at least not yet or even root shouldn't show custom.
EDIT: rom loaded fine. I hope somehow it did not get re-locked to AT&T sim only though will have test my foreign sim to test
EDIT2: sim unlock seems to be fine my Polish (Play Sim) roamed on AT&T
No problem. It's barley 9:30 here in Texas. When you get ready to go up to 5.0 using the method in that thread make sure to set your screen timeout to 10 min. After flashing 5.0 with flashfire it took about 10-15 min for mine to boot back up.

Flashing! bunch of weird code on phones screen lol.
Kinda funny had the phone for few hours and already playing with it to make it better lol. Would you happen to know if there is any easy way to get extra languages? I will need polish if possible (more locale2) can do it but I think it only changes like half of locale so not everything is translated.

ok it appears now to be loading the rom stuck on AT&T logo like you said for you it took 10 min .I flashed the stock not deodexed and lolipop is here LOL that was easy process.

I would stay away from xposed for now like you said. It's not fully compatible. I don't use any apps to make it faster. I just use titanium backup to remove bloat. But right now I'm running TMS 2.0 for my rom and it's blazing fast. And i don't have any problems with it. At first you would get media fc but he has a fix for it now.

Once again thanks for your time and help process went well.
I'd load the TMS 2.0 on it before you give it to whoever your giving it to. Lol. I don't think they would be able to tell a difference other than its faster. Just hide or remove apps that you don't think they should me with so they can't me anything up ya know.

This may not be for you...
This ROM is for someone...
Who wants to tinker and build there own personal ROM from the stock base.
Another developer that may not have the ability to get a stock base (Like me, I only have the AT&T phone)
When you hose your phone trying to "modify" things because you "read it on the internet" somewhere you can then use this ROM to get your anus out of trouble.
You flash someone else ROM and realize its not what you were expecting, you didn't make nandroid back up, and your rebooting every time you try to make a phone call. This ROM would come in real handy
You see where I am going with this?

Dude, tell me about it!
Do you know how long it takes to upload this isht?
I had to TeamView into jparista's PC, dump his phone, build the ROM, then upload it all using his internet connection because he has twice the upload speed I did.
I would still be uploading now!
you say must be on latest OTA, what happens if we flash this on non OTA?
Scott,
In the OP you say we need to be on the latest OTA?
I had flashed TWRP and have not been able to get the OTA.
I was surprised when I read we needed to be on the latest OTA to flash your ROM.
I have been holding off getting the OTA because I figured I would just flash a ROM to get the on the latest OTA is there a reason we need to be on it to flash your ROM?
Do you happen to have a Stock Recovery IMG and I get in order to get the OTA if I am going to need the OTA I will have to get it through stock recovery

Because its built from the OTA and I didn't include a boot image. I don't have the phone so I didn't want to risk bricking someone else's trying to flash a boot image.
In all reality it will prolly be 100% fine on the non OTA but I cannot say for sure... Havent tried it.
So nandroid, flash and report results and all questions will be answered.

Hi all,
This is an app (that would make your life easier) by which you can flash the NCE stock KK kernel(while on lollipop OC4) that is Safestrap friendly. Then you can enter to SS recovery and flash whatever you need onto your LP ROM. As we all know that SS won't work after flashing a lollipop ROM using muniz_ri method, unless you Odin a KK kernel. All you have to do is:
1. If you are not already on LP then update to it using muniz_ri method. After Muniz_ri method you won't have busybox, so download this one https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=stericson.busybox&hl=en from the playstore, open it up and install busybox from within the app (note: this is the only busybox app that has actually worked for me).
2. Install SS, open it up ( it will say recovery "not installed"), install recovery and it will say "installed", then exit out of it.
3. Download the NCE_Flasher.apk then install it, and open it up then hit " flash", wait for it to finish then hit "tap to reboot" and it will take you directly to SS recovery. Then you can flash whatever MODs or addons you wish or even ANOTHER ROM, just make sure you wipe everything but the external SD card if you are flashing a new ROM and you should be good.
4. MAKE SURE TO FLASH THE G900A_OC4_Stock_KERNEL_Recovery-Flashable before you reboot in order for your phone to boot up.
That is what I did and it worked perfectly for me and now I am running TMS5 with no issues at all.
FOLLOW THE ABOVE STEPS AND YOU WILL BE FINE.
-I did NOT make this app and I take absolutely no credit for it. All thanks go to @benwaffle the original creator of this app for our AT&T Note 3 and @carl1961 for remaking it for the S4 & S5.
If you have any questions, please let me know.
-Please note that the purpose of this thread is only to help users. No donations needed. A "thank you" is more than enough
Hope this will help.
WARNING: it may or may not work for some of you. It DID work for me and others with no problem on the S4 side and it is a very similar process, so use it at your own risk.
- Do NOT try this app on the S5 active. They have different kernels (I think) and it won't work for you.
If you run into an issue with the G900A_OC4_Stock_KERNEL_Recovery-Flashable zip, like it didn't work for you or didn't actually flash just boot into download mode after done flashing your files in SS and odin thisOC4 tar file in Odin in order for your phone to boot up into your rom.

Yes I think so. Using Odin to flash the files and such?
You have to use an older version of busy box to get it to install . I am about to try this with twisted v4 I post the results as soon as I finish.
This allows those on the old plan to still utilize tether for free.
For custom TW or stock TW roms.
Flash with latest flash fire.
Make sure you are rooted with PinPong Root 6 or higher.
Also make sure you pick the right one. The last 3 digits of the zip file are the firmware version. Flashing wrong one will boot loop you.
Oh and hit thanks!

It modifies the carrier check for Tether provisioning. If you have tether on your plan then you dont need it. If you dont have Tether then this will get you tether.
I dont know what carrier you have so flashing it, at a minimum will NOT hurt ANYTHING (that I know of).
So to see if you need it, just turn on Tether, if it works, then you dont need patch. If it doesnt work, then use patch.
Hope that helps.

1. Download Titanium Backup and install it
2. Open Titanium Backup and go to backups
3. Select Activation Agent and Click Uninstall
4. Restart the phone, you SIM card not from Verizon Wireless message is gone forever.

I can't get it to install. I'm fully stock on my phone. I've changed the date a few times to force the download but it stops then I get an error message.
May try the Samsung store in my local Best Buy.

Just make sure to use optimized ODEXED ROM's, which you can also root. DEODEXED is useful only if you are big on theming. ODEXED is considerably faster.

I'm interested in Deodexed so that I can run Xposed with all the tweaks on it. Mostly Amplify and App Ops to kill useless processes.
Also, do we have root for 5.1.1?
Install process went smoothly. Download/install/first boot took about 40 minutes.
Gonna have to wait a week to be sure that call reception/quality/mobile data reception is the same compared to 5.0

I've tried several times and it keeps failing. I've made sure there is at least 3GB free. Now, I am removing my SD card to see if that helps.

Let me know what you find. I've had 3 or 4 fails, fully stock and didn't have any issues with the Stage Freight OTA. I thought i cleared 3GB of space, but that failed.
The only other thing I've done is used the debloater app to hide some of the stock apps (Calendar, email, etc.), but I even unhid those to no avail.
Frustrating!

I am trying clearing the RAM by taking out the battery and holding the power button for a minute. Let's see how that goes.
Can anyone please upload the OTA file please. I can't get FOTA as I'm out of US now and not on at&t network. Thanking in advance
Same here, not on At&t.

You have a lot of reading to do. Search for rooting s5. Make sure you understand everything before trying to modify your phone. I'd hate to see you bricked.

He means, go to Settings>About Device and look what the Android Version is. If it is 5.0 then do not bother looking to root your device...it's not possible on an ATT device with Android 5.0 right now.

yea its 5.0, is it possible to downgrade it? if it is, what version do you think is good enough to root?
You can't downgrade if you're already on 5.0, and even if you could, you can't install anything beyond Touchwiz (Samsung) based ROMs because of a locked bootloader.
Let me know if you have any luck

Thank you for posting this question because I am in the exact same situation. I have an AT&T Galaxy S 5 Android 5.1.1. I was never interesting in rooting my phone until just recently and have been doing some light reading on Life Hacker to learn more and it brought me here. I just wanted to clarify your comment above. Are you saying that having the phone that I/we have we are completely out of luck if we wanted to root/modify our phones? Forever or just until something changes down the road?
Well I sold my at&t s5 and ordered a unlocked tmobile s5 to use on at&t with my sim card because you can root the tmobile version. I hope one day soon someone will figure out how to root it I believe it will be done soon just keep checking back on here.

Well, yeah! But you need to downgrade first. Note that I don't test it, so use it at your own risk! Also I recommend that you use a good cable, or else...

I don't think that will work, the firmware listed there is 4.4.2 which is KitKat, you can not downgrade to KK if you are on lollipop or marshmallow, you could soft brick or worse. I would not attempt this unless you are actually on KK.

Well it seems that is true...For us:

Maybe you can "update"(don't recommend it,though. Again, try it at your own risk):

For future reference, don't give these unsure ideas to people and tell them to update their phones like this. At the moment, YOU CANNOT GET ROOTED LOLLIPOP 100% of the time unless you were/are on 4.4.2 KitKat with root (use Towelroot) and update through muniz_ri's update method. Trying to downgrade to KitKat will result in a bricked device as the thread previously mentioned.
The reason why root persists on 5.0 when you update it via this method is due to using the older bootloader which doesn't verify the system's integrity the same way the newer bootloaders do.
