post here when a custom recovery is found to be working on the AT&T Galaxy s5 G900a
Thanks to geohot over at towelroot.com we can all bask in the glory of absolute freedom. Until a custom recovery is confirmed we won't be flashing any ROMS so when one is found please post in this section. As well as any custom ROMS known to be compatible with the galaxy s5 g900a.

Anyone thought about SafeStrap yet? Is this a possibility?

I don't believe a custom recovery will work with a locked bootloader.

FYI - I flashed the AllianceRom from Edge then I restored my original Boot backup from S6, and now I don't have any issues with the touch. But, I still prefer the Looper Rom, so going back to Looper.

I made a backup for Boot and EFS initially when I got TWRP. Sorry if you didn't make one. Worst case, I think uou can odin original stock firmware to go back.

I reinstalled my back up rom and I still have the problem.can I just reflash ktsoonez T-Mobile Gs6 kernel and that will fix it? Thanks!!!

Will someone please verify if that will fix the problem? Thanks!!!

Yes flashing ktoonz kernel will fix it. But when you install alliance rom. Make sure to click to update rom base and to wipe data.

Ok I went back to a 920t rom and I still have the inverted,messed up keypad,etc. How do I fix this problem? Please help!!!

Then you do this.
Dial *#2663# in the dialer and update the thouch screen penal firmware by selecting 'TSP FW update (General)' button.
Yes! But what's tricky about it is don't forget that since the screen touches are reversed, you must actually click the button on the right side of the screen to make the change happen. The one that says 'TSP FW update (Internal)'...or it won't work.

Can the boooader be unlocked?

Hey, I have been out of the rooting game for some time, but I was wondering if this phone can be unlocked and flashed with something like cyanogenmod? I have done research but can't find anything conclusive. Thanks!

I presume you are referring to the Samsung Galaxy S6 (SM-G920T)?
If so then yes you can flash SU and TWRP via Odin and install a compatible ROM through recovery.

That's because the bootloader is not locked. Or at least at the moment with 5.1.1

Is this in regard to the T-Mobile model?

Yes. The T-Mobile S6 variant (SM-G920T) does NOT have a locked a bootloader at present.
The S7 however does and the suspicion (though unfounded at the moment) is that once T-mobile releases the Marshmallow update for the S6 it may lock the bootloader. Thus, it is probably going to be a good idea to wait on taking the Marshmallow update as soon as it is available (if root is desirable).

So will any normal Roms available for the standard GSM s7 work with the T-Mobile model? Also, is installing twrp as simple as something like a Nexus? I haven't been in the ROM game for a while, thanks for the help guys

There won't be any ROMs available for the S7 so long as the bootloader remains locked.

For the umpteenth time yes. You just need to make sure that whatever ROM you want to flash is compatible with the T-Mobile S6 variant (SM-G920T).
There is a T-Mobile Galaxy S6 Android Development forum here at XDA which will have a number of different ROMs to choose from as well as information and support for said ROMs.

Thanks man

Been using the ROM and kernel for a couple weeks now. The performance is snappy and battery life is great! No problems on my end apart from a double text receive issue. @travis82 has done some great work on this!

This is a stock rom so it has all the same features as a stock samsung device. So probably not unless they are a feature that was already included.

This is for snapdragon only.. when XDA gives us a snapdragon rom forum I'll keep it in there.

There's no subforum for our device unfortunately. This it's a snapdragon that has a bootloader that can be unlocked unlike the US variants.

This is G9350/G935FD only (HK or China models).

On a side note if you guys don't know the model # of your mobiles why the hell are you here on xda flashing software? That sounds like a bricked phone waiting to happen.
Now back to topic, I'll put out a new kernel in the coming days. If the OCT rom is just a cve update I will not release a new rom since the kernel has this patched already since last month.

if u go looking for spec's on 9350 on the web it says it can be either 820 or a 8890. so it probably would of been a good idea when op created this thread to have put which variant this rom was for.

Almost everything seems to be in order. Two issues; wifi calling isn't working (gets stuck enabling) and the wifi forgets home my network whenever I leave it's range. Would that be due to not having the latest radio? I'm running the radio from the April firmware update.
