Nice, which I've would I download for Wind Mobile?

If Flash fire shows protected on some partitions does that mean I have to use Odin on PC?

The Wind Mobile firmware is always released under its parent company's name, Globalive, which is not listed here. It's CSC is GLO if you can find it elsewhere. But it really doesn't matter at all. The last few releases that were labelled Globalive were literally just the Bell version renamed. You can use any of the firmware versions above if you want. I used the Telus one a couple of times, just because I have a grudge against Bell and Rogers. But it makes absolutely no difference.

Anyone figure out how to root this version. I tried to install TWRP and flashed Super SU, cleared cache and dalvik but it just boot loops on first boot after flashing firmware. Tried to install after it booted and set up user name and accounts by the same process but I had the same results.
Any suggestions?
Thanks.

Thanks bro! I thought about it but I didn't think it mattered. I'll give it a go.
No dice as of yet, custom kernels are not booting either, good thing I had the sense to do a bacup first

The way I usually root is to flash CF-Auto-Root-kltecan-kltevl-smg900w8.tar using odin. Can you try that?
I haven't updated yet until I'm sure root is there as I gave the phone to my wife.

thanks

Still bootloops when I flashed CF-Autoroot. it also installed the original recovery from another BL version. I reflashed TWRP and cleared cache and dalvik (not that I expected it to do much) but still the same. restored a nandroid and I had all kinds of apps FC. End result was to factory reset the phone to be in a stable condition. If this was a car I could get this damn thing running right! I should have learned more about programming while I was in school...... 2 kids and a mortgage I have no time for it now.

Not exactly
You need stock kernel but with sepolicy patched in ramdisk, according to @Chainfire's method.
I think I could help all G900W8's users
Rooting procedure (requires TWRP or CWM):
1. Download patched kernel and the latest SuperSU (2.52+):
>> KERNEL_G900W8VLU1COI4_Stock_patched.zip <<
>> SuperSU BETA by @Chainfire <<
2. Copy both zip files to phone or extSdCard
3. Go to TWRP / CWM and flash both files one by one. Order does not matter
4. Reboot the phone.
5. Enjoy your rooted 5.1.1 firmware
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It is time to say that I also need your help as there is no 5.1.1 firmware for other S5's variants yet. I need updated SELinux contexts and and permissions list from your 5.1.1 firmware (in all Snapdragon S5 variants contexts/permissions are the same). I require it as I would like to be well prepared with my custom ROMs for G900F/FD. I believe that Android 5.1.1 for G900F/FD is just a matter of a few days...
Please do as follow while running G900W8VLU1COI4 firmware:
- Install Terminal Emulator from Play Store (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=jackpal.androidterm)
- Type commands as follow:
Code:
[COLOR="Red"]su[/COLOR]
cd /system
ls -aRZ > /storage/emulated/0/test1.txt
ls -aRn > /storage/emulated/0/test2.txt
- you will find above txt files in the internal sdcard's root directory - please zip these files and post here as attachment
NOTE1: Rooted phone is not a MUST. If you have not rooted 5.1.1 firmware - just bypass "su" command and ignore "Permission denied" messages. In fact it will also do the work as it should.
NOTE2: Don't worry. Your /system partition will remain untouched by these actions. No private data will be read as all private contents are stored on /data

Bugs
1. The GT I9192 users will not be able to see, in which sim they had received the calls in the call logs menu. To solve this problem, use "Zero Dialer" app from the playstore, it'll show you the sim numbers of the calls received.
2. Apps which has the drop down menu option will force closes whenever you press it. (mostly the payment apps only. The solution to this is you can use browser (instead of the app) for that :laugh::laugh::laugh
3. For GT I9192 users, system ui fc occurs if you make calls with the Heads Up option enabled. So don't use that

Activate the developer option, go to that and in the last you will see an option called "advanced system settings".
In that, you will see an option with the name "Power off button setting". There you will have all the options for the power menu..

Also what you mean by, "Once you installed you can't uninstall the adds and viruses?" LOL....Its funny....
Because for the past 2 weeks i am using this rom and before that also i used this and i changed to CM 13 and some other MM ports for short time. No problems arised while changing....
Now due to some reasons, i revert back to this.... And moreover some of the users here personally contacted me to give the links of this rom. That's why i created this thread....
And one more thing i am not making any fun of you. But i want you to make clear about the "Viruses and Adds" thing??!!!!!

Was really looking forward to trying it out, what viruses :crying:

Init.d will force close
Hi
If u get Init.d will force close use this kernel Alexax66 0.1.2 for I9192

Hello there. my phone never had kitkat officially so i am using s6&N5 port(which is 4.4).
do i still have to download I9190XXUCOC1_SER.zip? or can i directly flash S5_STE_Rom_v.5.2.1.zip.
because i heard kitkat update bootloader and i do not want my bootloader to be updated as i may want to go for jelly bean.
btw i updated s6 port(kitkat) from NEW S6 n N5 Project thread from jellybean. and worked fine.

okay i flashed it over s6 port(4.4.4). but i got random restarts. then i went in twrp recovery and wiped everything and freshed install only flash S5_STE_Rom_v.5.2.1.zip file. still crashed. i guess i have to follow your instruction but as i said i cant install kitkat stock firmware as it may update the bootloader.

How to solve random reboots and other issues in Lollipop ROMs in S2 hd lte

UPDATED
Since these issues have been fixed in newer builds but as a s2 hd lte users, we have no option but to use older builds which have many issues. I found a workaround for them. If you are having wifi or other radio related issues, contact the ROM developer. This post can't help you. Flashing latest baseband helped me and could work well for you as well. Lets talk about two of the most common bug that haunts our device
1 Apps auto closing->( only for LMY48G builds,if you have newer builds,just flash gapps and reboot. to check go to about phone-> build number)
This is a webview related bug.
Download latest gapps from opengapps.org.
I prefer aroma installer as smaller packages don't have webview included,which will make the bugs worse.
Flash gapps. Dont forget to select 'android system webview' from the aroma installer.
Download the zip file from the
link
https://mega.nz/#!0d5Tiaja
Decryption key !JAG5Im-T75YN1CKIOiOcyDDaBH2ILD6dzwxw4xnhrBc
Extract "libwebviewchromium.so" and "libwebviewchromium_plat_support.so"
It is taken from stock samsung ROM and only works on armv7 devices.
Copy them to /system/libs using ESfile explorer or any other root explorer.
Overwrite the original file if asked.
give permission (-rw-r-r) to both file
Reboot to recovery
Flash this file "cm12.1 android system webview" from this thread(only for cm12.1, will cause bootloops in Xenon hd and resurrection remix)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-m/themes-apps/mod-google-android-webview-t3109216
Apps will now no longer auto close in your face without warning
((-> After testing for a month, I concluded that these steps are optional and use only if you want to have google android webview instead of cm12.1's built in 'android system webview'))
2) Now the most important part, random reboots.
This was reported on earlier builds of lollipop by many users.This is mostly caused by minfree that android uses to manage memory. If you navigate to sys/modules/lowmwemorykiller/parameters you can see 4 or 5 files. two of those files have wrong permissions. They are "adj" and "minfree".
If you give them (rw-r-r) permissions, you can adjust minfree values. the stock values are too aggressive and would cause constant reboots, freezes. Download romtoolbox, navigate to task manager, swipe left. you can choose to use any presets. i use 8,12,24,60,70,80 as minfree values.
Dont check "auto apply on boot" because you need to repeat this whole process after a reboot as those two files"adj and minfree" will be replaced from boot.img on boot by kern
Permanent fix: unpack boot.img. Navigate to ramdisc and open init.rc file in notepad. Find the line
chmod 0220 /sys/module/lowmemorykiller/parameters/minfree
chmod 0220 /sys/module/lowmemorykiller/parameters/adj

Repack boot.img
Put it back inside the zipfile using winrar or use flashify from playstore to update boot.
I found tool to unpack qualcomm boot.img from this website. Full credits to the developer who made this tool.

download ROM toolbox and apply your preferred values
3. Low storage and optimizing apps(configuring ART compiler)
After google updated android runtime from JIT to ART, apps take up huge space and "optimizing app" takes forever. But there is workaround for that too.
1)Open build.prop in any text editor.
2) find these two lines:
dalvik.vm.image-dex2oat-filter=........(blah blah)
dalvik.vm.dex2oat-filter=...(blah blah)
3) Change both of these lines to
dalvik.vm.image-dex2oat-filter=speed
dalvik.vm.dex2oat-filter=Verify-none
If these lines doesn't exist, in your build.prop,you have to add them manually
4) save your build.prop file
5) reboot to recovery and wipe dalvik cache
After this check your storage space, You will have plenty of storage left and optimizing apps should be faster. It works just like old JIT compiler from older android versions.
if this doesn't work for you, you have to edit these same lines from default.prop by unpacking boot.img

I have fixed this issue by editing init.rc inside boot.img, but i dont know if i should post it here or not.

You can try wiping phone efs through odin in order to fix radio issues
1 Download stock jb rom
2 Check "phone efs clear". This is most important.
3 Click pda
4 click start
5 wait for phone to boot up
6 go to settings->software update to check if you are running latest jb build. Soft reboots and radio issues are usually caused by old baseband version.
7 Proceed with usual old way to install lollipop.
This way odin will wipe your efs settings to rebuild from scratch.

still ploblem ??? :? wait how to clear efs
at first time i have checked this box but failded ,

you need Stock jb rom to do this. I also had this issue in e120l, but clearing phone efs fixed radio issues for me. you need odin3v 1.85 and samsung usb drivers.
You can find it alongside " phone bootloader update". Be careful not to select this one by accident.

you get "libWebviechromium .so" file while installing gapps package. Go to opengapps.org and download aroma installer.
there are two files in the archive i uploaded, libwebviwechromium_loader.so and libwebviewplatsupport.so. You need to extract and replace those files in system-> libs after flashing gapps package. The built in webview will cause random apps shutdowns. this file is critical. You need libwebviewchromium_loader to start webview app. your system will not function properly without it.

have you checked debugging option from developer options before doing this? Make sure your data cable is not faulty. please make sure you have a backup of efs partition if you are having network issues with all ROMs. try hellcat and stock based roms for testing to make sure you are not having this issue only on lollipop or kitkat. Also try to wipe boot from recovery menu before flashing.

I also had this the same issue.
There is a link to latest baseband in hellkat thread. Thats where i got it. Sadly Its only for E120L
Search the hellkat thread to see if there is one for e120s as well.
I obviously didn't look further as i don't own e120s.

[ROM]Multi-Rom Tripl3t B594 Odex

http://pecholite.blogspot.com.es/2017/03/multi-rom-tripl3t-b594-odex.html?m=1
MULTI-ROM TRIPL3T B594 ODEX
Multi-rom Tripl3t is the first rom for pecholite that adapts to all types of users and allows to start the smartphone with Emui 4.0, LineageOS 14.1 or AOSP 7.1.1 (Nougat).
I present my first custom rom based on fellow cerberus v2 + John Miller . The Lineage part is @XePeleato and the Aosp of @haky86.
Too much for you?
More novice users should not be scared because the installation and configuration is incremental and that is why I say that it fits any user profile.
User Profiles:
Depending on the concerns that are most suited to your profile you should take the installation to the point that best meets your needs.
As a user I want ...
1- I want a stock experience with some extras but without Root.
You must install the rom file by TWRP and dot. The rom is the same as the cerberus V2 but comes with no root.
It incorporates among others ..., gyroscope, call recording, multiwindow ...
REQUIRED REQUIREMENTS:
-Bootloader Unlocked.
-TWRP
- Android 6 - C432B594 Stock - Recommended.
2- I want you to have root access too.
After installing the rom you must enter the store and download the application magisk manager and ready. You already have root access and get the most out of the rom, but not only that, but root access can be hidden to play PoGo or use payment applications and pass the SafetyNet test.
3- I want to activate extra functions and transform and customize the rom butt.
Well what you have to do is install this file from TWRP point.
We will achieve the following:
- Activate Multiuser
- Enable Local Update
- You can choose whether to install the Huawei magnifier or not
- Busybox, Viper4Android and SLC disappear
- You can choose to install the busybox and the viper in a systemless way and in this way the SLC is no longer necessary
- Advanced Reset
- New lock screen 100% customizable.
- The screen automatically turns on and off when opening and closing the mobile phone case
- Incorporates system apps uninstaller
- Total Commander
- Greenify
- Etc...
4- I want to be able to choose which rom to start the smartphone.
For that it is necessary to have followed steps 1, 2 and 3 and it is necessary to configure magisk to have default access to all requests per adb and applications and install the multiboot option.
To install Dualboot you must go to the file EXTRAS.ZIP that you will find inside the system folder of the rom. Uncompress your content in the external memory and install the DualBoot app and keep the files in memory because we will need them for later.
Then we start the dualboot application to be granted superuser permissions automatically. Then with SimpleReboot we restart a recovery and make a backup of boot.img in case something goes wrong, since it will be the only thing we will need to repair a possible failure or error.
VERY IMPORTANT: We need to have 3Gb of available space in the External SD for each additional rom we want to install, that is, if we are going to install Lineage and Aosp we will need 6Gb of available space.
4.1- I want AOSP.
We must download these files and install them at the same time and in order from TWRP
- Rom
- Aniboot
- Gaaps
- Magisk
4.1- I want LineageOS.
We must download these files and install them at the same time and in order from TWRP
- Rom
- Aniboot
- Gaaps
- Magisk
4.3 I want the 3 Roms at a time.
Then follow steps 4.1 and 4.2
Restarting the system will take us directly to the last ROM installed. Once started and configured we installed the dualboot app that we had left on hand in the external SD. Repeat the operation on each of the additional roms installed. Once installed dualboot in all you can remove the app from the sd and of course all the corresponding installation files.
To change rom you have to enter the dualboot app and choose which one to start the system and restart.
MENTAL NOTE 01:
The 3 roms will have the same bugs as the originals. I am not yet qualified to fix them or even try, but I think that to be my first job is more than enough.
MENTAL NOTE 02:
The DualBoot application also installs an app called Leaks that controls possible bugs to send them to the original DualBoot developer.
I do not want to forget to give credits and thanks for:
@topjohnwu for creating magisk
@chenxiaolong for creating DualBoot and @BrainNotFound for portarlo
+ John Miller to create CerberusV2
@haky86 for creating Aosp and CWMR
@XePeleato for creating LineageOs and TWRP and Kernel

Try a factory reset with stock recovery and flash again.

It worked for me once but I think I reflashed something or so and then it didn't. After flashing it wait at least 1 hour before stopping the boot. After that, it doesn't seem to work.

It works. Flash Xposed and don't forget to wipe cache.
Phone will start in about 30 minutes.
It works. Use SDK 23 for this rom

No with the B596 ROM (i think its related to the new security patch)
With the B588 instead you have to disable xposed reboot the phone and safety net will be ok

I can confirm Xposed works. Not the Magisk one though.
Use the one from the mega root thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/p8lite/general/mega-thread-root-unbricking-updating-t3400994.
I also know the xposed torch works. Like to recommend xEmui module.

Thank you so much for the answer Sir AviNash. I've got a question, if I swipe to factory reset, all my downloaded apps would be gone? Or their settings only? I am hesitating to downgrade because I am thinking that it would lost all my downloaded apps including the data. Am I correct sir?

Yes .. factory reset will remove all app setting and app data. You will need to backup appdata on cloud.
Storage data on SD card will not be touched. To be safe .. backup data on Internal Storage as well.

Now my phone is on v331, and this 331 version is bad,.. worse than the 327, but instead of downgrade to 327, I prefer to wait for your "334 upgrade file for 'UBL-TWRP&Root' user" like you did with the 331

Latest update 339 is proven to be stable and reliable release. Probably it's your phone hardware issue.
Maybe you can try to clear the cache first. If that does not work then try reset the phone. If still doesn't work then bring it to service center.
