Hello Guys,
the story is: i've just bought Galaxy S5 Active with some custom ROM installed (TMS5), rooted.
the version is 5.0: the kies is showing info like: G900FXXU1BOC7/G900AATT3BOC4/G870AUCU1BOC5/G900FXXU1BOC7 (ATT)
the problem: i'd really like to have stock firmware on this one? Can You please tell me what are the options for me?
Thanks,
Jazzhoo
Update:
Guys, for anyone that is thinking about unrooting or installing the newest software through OTA.. i'll give You an advice.. don't!
some time has passed since i bought S5A with TMS5 3.0 custom soft, i wanted to unroot and install stock. thankfully i've found no way to do so.
i'm really happy to have root/custom so i can personalize my phone as i want! and i don't need to use crappy unrooted stock!
peace guys!

Hey guys,
sry for that questions.
Today i got a "new" Samsung Galaxy S from my brother, because he has now a iphone.
I never updated his phone and so he has the oldest official firmware on it. I think without lagfixes and other stuff.
I've got a ZTE Blade and i'm used to update ROMs with ClockworkMod, is there a similar application for SGS? Are there any AOSP ROMs (without Samsung GUI) for SGS? Do i have to install all lagfixes before i can update next (un)official roms?
Thanks in advance for your help.
best regards

Read the threads in the development section for custom/AOSP ROMs (be sure to update your SGS to the latest official stock kies version first before flashing the custom ones)
Hey guys, hey pikachu,..
I read the whole last two days, and tried to connect my SGS with the Win7 in a Virtualbox, but thats another story.
I installed kies, connected my phone with the pc, but then KIES wrote, that my phone could not be updated with KIES. I think because its branded.
So, i don't know what todo next? How can i apply a new firmware on my phone or what can i do, that i receive the next updates (e.g. ICS)?
is there a generic firmware for the beginning?
Thanks in advance!
best regards
One way to do apply a new firmware is to flash your device manually via ODIN, the other thing you can do is to make a reg-hack so that KIES thinks your phone is just like a new, unbranded device.
Thanks! Yeah, i read about Odin, but there are so many different versions of odin, a huge amount of different firmwares and, i don't know which of them have a bootloader.. etc.
I try now to apply the registry-hack and if this works then its all ok, otherwise i have to work with odin..
So,.. I'm done
As i wrote before, i tried to update the firmware with the reg-hack-trick, but it didn't work. So i had to test the other way.. with odin
I followed this german instructions (not allowed to post links, but the instructions are on android-hilfe.de) and it worked very well.. (thank god!)
Now i'm looking for a good or perfect Gingerbread (AOSP).. or a way how i can disable the samsung gui
Thanks for your hints!
best regards!
Hello xda-developers,
I am a noob once again in desperate need on guidence on my new device...
i have had iPhones since the very First ever iPhone so recently when i decided to sell my iPhone 4S and my iPad 2 to buy 1 device the Samsung Galaxy Note i was making a huge risk as i have never used anything other than ios but i made the risk and couldnt be happyier,
Now onto the more serious part on why i have created this thead...i need assistance on how to go about rooting my device
It's a Brand New Samsung Galaxy Note White Euro model, i wanted uk but couldnt find it in stock anywhere and had to order online, i think it came from germany as when i checked the tracking thats were it was dispatched from,
I have been doing alot of reading on these forums and others around the internet and i think i have it right but because my model might be a germany handset but dontknow for sure from what i can tell it has
baseband version N7000XXLA4
kernal version N7000XXLA6
from what i can sorta understand because its on N7000XXLA6 it cannot be rooted direcly and needs to be downgraded to a lower firmware? also is the kernal version the firmware version?
sorry for the noobish talk i wanna get this right as i dont wanna damaged my new device...do i need to downgrade my firmware to be able to root my device?
my plan is to once offical ics comes out to have offical ics installed then root the device then remove all the bloatware from it and make it original pure clean ics kinda like the nexus no samsung crap on it but have root access for extra features like gamepad support like ps3 controllers and other features.
i have tryed to work out the best thing to do so far i am stuck with thinking my device cant be directly rooted and i dont wanna jump in a fiquire out the hard way as iknow rooting isnt as easy and jailbreaking.
i can't wait to hear feedback and help tips and tricks from the community and also very big thanks in advance for taking te time to read this

Your Rom is too new to be rooted directly, you got that right. Go to this thread and download any Rom older than N7000DXKL3 (I prefer N7000XXKK9, it's easily rooted using zergrush method, but it's your choice, of course). Then you can proceed with flashing your downloaded Rom via PC Odin (detailed instructions with pictures in the said thread).
Then visit this thread for instructions on rooting your Rom (find 'Method 2: Root + CWM recovery' and follow it to the letter).
Once you're rooted, you can either upgrade to the latest stock Rom and keep your root, or flash any of the custom Roms available in the Dev section.
Good luck.
u can also go to youtube n refer ashwin tutorial how to root...it will help u a lot coz u can see n know what u doing...follow exactly teh instruction n u will not face any problem..happy rooting...
i give the link to help u save time..

Hey guys has anyone got a definitive root working yet, i just got my Samsung Galaxy S3 4G i9305T on a VODAFONE (Australian) plan. I was wondering what guides i should use to root my device like for example theres some good ones like
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1967124
Which looks like a good one but people have stated that the recovery rom is abit outdated but the guide is still good.
Can someone recommended a replace recovery rom
Thanks lads.

hey
so basically what that is , is its a rooted firmware which acts the exact same as a root but just doesnt have custom firmware?

Yes, then being rooted you can plan to customise without bricking your phone :good:
Hey Everyone,
Just a quick poll...
What's the Most Stable/Favorite Stock AT&T S4 Active ROM?
I'm currently on 4.2.2 MF1 and wondering if I should go ahead and upgrade to 4.4.2?
Reason why I hesitate upgrading is since the bootloader is locked, once I upgrade, I can't go back...
I'm sure there are other users curious about this question as well..
Thanks again in advance for your input
Hey, this is my first thread so I have no clue what I'm doing
Anyways, does anyone know any good custom ROMs for the Galaxy S6 AT&T version? I found stuff for different carriers, but very few for AT&T and the ones I found, I didn't like.
Also, lets say I rooted my phone and installed a custom ROM (God, I hope I am using the right vocab), that would void my warranty, but what if I "unrooted" it and went back to the original software? Is there a way Samsung would know?
Sorry, if I'm speaking in layman's terms lol I switched from iPhone couple months ago, and I love what I can do with my galaxy but I just want to do more.
Thanks!!
There are no custom roms for the 5.1.1 versions. If you Odin back stock firmware Samsung won't know if you rooted
