We can't even begin to think about custom Nougat Roms until ATT releases a Nougat update. Even then we'd have a problem with creating something the kernel would accept.

Okay 1. This is the S5, not the S4 and 2. Basically every edition of the GS5 EXCEPT OURS can be flashed with a custom ROM, due ot the nature of our locked bootloaders (thanks AT&T), we cannot flash ANYTHING that doesn't use the stock AT&T kernel.
That means:
No Custom Recovery
No AOSP/AOKP/RR/etc
No Custom Kernels
Sorry mate, you seem to be out of luck :/

Gotcha. I did read on here that the security for the bootloader was cracked last year and that there is a loki patch to unlock it. Any truth to that?

I'd love to see the thread that you got that from... right now the only way we'd be able to get anything custom would be if we are able to get this Secure Boot CVE to work.
Also, loki is for the GS4, not the S5. The Galaxy S5's firmware is based off something different, and I'm pretty sure that loki vuln was patched long before the Galaxy S5 even came out.

Looks like I was wrong - the source I found was for the Verison GS5. Some eMMC backdoor/CID change. (Link below)
AT&T really is sticking it to us on this one, it seems.

Yeah SamDunk only works for Verizon devices with Samsung eMMCs... even if someone with an AT&T S5 had a Samsung eMMC, they'd still need a developer edition aboot and CID, which doesn't really *exist*

I see there is so called stock roms with boat ware removed but most seem to have lots of other changes are they really stable as in exactly like stock? I am also not sure how I know which one was my phones original stock. I bought it on eBay and it's had various roms flashed. So ideally I would like to have it unrooted and just the bloatware removed but maybe that's not possible so rooted and no bloatware would be ok. Thanks

Most of the stock roms in the development section are quite stable and all the info about removed bloatware is also stated in the threads of those roms.
You can find your original stock rom at http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/ or http://live.samsung-updates.com/index.php?device=GT-I9305, according to your country and carrier (the country where you live is your official firmware, doesnt matter that you have bought it from ebay and what firmware it had on it before). After you download the firmware flash it with odin, but be warned about KNOX bootloader on 4.3 official firmwares! If youre not knoxed yet, you can update to 4.3 stock rom without getting the knox bootloader with this Rom.
If you prefer your own official firmware, you need to remove the bloatware by yourself using a file manager with root acces. Be careful with what you delete if you gonna do so! always READ EVERYTHING carefully and do lots of RESEARCH :good:

Yes thanks unfortunately I do have the Knox warranty void 1 message swerev a2 think it says as well I thought it might mean I'm in trouble. I hear you can't reset it so I can't go to any official firmwares now?
I really need stability I thought cm 10.1 would be stable but there's lots of crashes... by pretty stable you mean cm 10.1 pretty stable type thing for the boat ware removed roms? Want to find something near or as good as official...thanks.
EDIT: OK so hmm getting some mixed messages reading about it all but basically I went from 4.3 stock to cm11 then to carbon rom and finally to cm 10.1.3 so I think I can go back to stock 4.3 using any uk based stock from Sammobile? Not sure which would be best yet but I am with three so I might do the h3g one. Or possibly a rom with bloat removed 4.3 or above... Guess the warranty is gone now...and hopefully I'll be ok for any upgrades in the future...

Sounds good but I usually avoid new updates at first I prefer stability to a certain extent so you can't just update it? You have to do a fresh install? Anyway I'm on it now and it is very stable compared with the other roms I've used - very nice. Not sure if I did all the options correctly but I'll have to test...Still getting weird white patches on this xda form web pages in chrome...had this with every Rom I tried...not quiet so bad with this Rom but still there...strange only happens with this Web site too?!

5.1 looks a lot better to me than 5.0.1/5.0.2 minor small improvements and what not.

I am on stock, but need root to delete all crapware like ATT navigator and what not. If i update to Lollipop, will I lose root ?
Got to reflash the official odin firmware latest probably then don't root just check for updates and take it.
Also yes after getting lollipop you can just reroot with towelroot and debloat your rom.

Negative ghost rider, towelroot doesn't work on anything passed 4.4.2. It doesn't even work on any flavor of 4.4.4, such as NL1. The only way to root from stock LP is to downgrade via Odin to a firmware supported by TR (4.4.2) and root from there, install safe strap, blah, blah, and flash a pre-rooted LP ROM, then reflash the LP kernel, modem, etc.

Hello to everyone!
A couple of days ago a leaked MM beta firmware for the international variant of the SGS5 (G900F) was received as an OTA update by one lucky guy from Ukraine.
Since then he managed to make a TWRP backup and share it with us.
The only problem was that when flashed it would make the phone enter in a bootloop because the Bootloader (BL) was missing.
Also root was harder to achieve since the old methods seemed not to work on this build.
The developer thread for this ROM is located here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s5/development/samsung-s5-sm-g900f-6-0-1-official-t3311188
To keep it clean from various questions I thought it was a better idea to make this thread for the normal users so we can share low-level informations about that topic without interferring with the devs discussion.
Hope you will join me here in the discussion.
Thank you everyone!
Thanks. People said rude comments about me. I was only curious. Here is better to talk.

OK, I must say I'm a little disappointed by what I've seen in that leaked firmware.
At the same time I think that all the good changes are "under the hood".
Doze is OK and I think the UX will be smoother from what I've seen in other MM firmwares from LG and Sony.
Unfortunately the "Themes" engine is missing. It would have been cool to have it.
Anyone knows if in the leaked fw the shoot RAW option is available in the Camera app?
EDIT: the guy who received the update confirms that battery life is better and that the per-app-permission feature is present. So the "under the hood" tweaks exist
Ah very nice. This is a nice thread to discuss things. Does anyone know if a bootloader can be flashed by TWRP or is Odin necessary?
And guys, please stop attacking each other. It gives any thread a negative vibe. I could not care less if anyone finds himself a dev or not.

I have read a post by Tamirda or Geiti this firmware would be excellent base to build a S6 rom. Maybe that would be the true power of this firmware?
I'm disappointed about this update too. Nothing changed except icons :/
I don't understand why they didn't adapt GS6 UI on our GS5. Is just graphical effects, I don't think it's complicated to change xD.
I will try anyway this beta leaked but If the final version won't bring features like GS6 UI or Themes, I'll say bye bye to sammy

I honestly would prefer a S5 based rom, as there are already many other s6 & note 5 bases already. Dare to be different?

The TWRP recovery has the option to backup the BOOT partition so I believe that we can also flash a different boot backup as long as it's compatible with the phone
In the same time the BL is usually included in the single tar file that we use when flashing a stock fw via Odin.
So in the end I think it depends on how the release will be packed: either as flashable zip via TWRP or as a .tar file flashable via Odin.
The important part is that the new BL to be included
I also prefer 6.0 based on st. Not to look like s6

I think it would make an excellent base to build a clean MM firmware for the S5.
I'm staying on stock-based ROMs because I need the camera-quality.
In AOSP builds the camera quality is poorer and there are also some TW-based-goodies missing.
The Themes-engine would have been a nice addition just because we get tired of the same UX and that was a chance for us to change it without flashing custom ROMs or using 3rd party launcher.
But if it's missing it will not be a deal-breaker for me.
I'm looking forward to that Doze feature.
Just imagine how a MM barebone stock-based ROM for the S5 would fly!
Also the battery life would be better.
I have high hopes with this firmware.
With a little patience, tweaks and luck we could expand the life of the SGS5 for another year until the SGS7 will become cheaper.
So now devs can make finally a good kernel for s6/note5 6.01 MM port rom..with the s5 6.01 kernel...
I posted on the official thread by mistake and will ask here. Does this work on G900W8 also? I was able to run pre-release 5.0 last year when it was just for G900F, but that was already bundled into a ROM. I know the devs will be working on getting the code into roms, but was just wondering

Hi, mate! From what I've read the only difference seems to be the bands.
Apart from that the ROMs seem to be compatible except the fact that you can't flash them via Odin.
You need to flash them as .zip from a custom recovery.
So if the ROM will be packed as a flashable .zip file you are in luck
Here is the link to the thread from where I got these informations: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2714132&page=3
Hope it helps! Cheers!
Isn't battery optimization the same with Doze mode which we have on the current, latest firmware? Google introduced battery optimization a.k.a. Doze mode on Marshmallow while Samsung had it on Lollipop since Note 4 and rolled out to other devices like the S 5.

You guys / gals are angels from heaven to work on this. Thank you
I still think the best bang for the buck phone out for 2017 is the LG G6, selling for like $499 now, and soon with Root and official CM14.1 ( Lineage ROM ), it's the phone to beat for the price. The G6 running official Cyanogen ROM for $499, I'm all over that. Will be a super cool phone. Plus it's IP68 waterproof, and has wireless charging, and is also very one handed friendly for a 5.7" device. This phone with AOSP ROM = nerds wetdream

This looks like a good sign, hopefully the T-Mobile version is next

The T-Mobile version already has a bootloader unlock

International Version already has TWRP
Apparently the intl model's bootloader does not have all the fastboot commands stripped out like our tmo model :|
This makes theirs much easier to twrp/root.
So we just need a recovery and rom if we can unlock our bootloaders already ?
I saw this https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=817550096634759622 looking around, I am not the dev of this nor have any part or take any credit on this. I just think this is a little weird I haven't seen nothing around here unless that's the same rom posted in the development thread, But by a different dev?

Yes, but there is no way to install twrp quite yet. To the best of my knowledge they devs basically have it, but they have to refine it an d make it user friendly so we aren't all bricking our phones

I've rooted every one of my phones since the OG Droid. Oddly enough, I'm really not missing root much for this phone- was originally hanging on the edge of my seat for it. As I've been living with it through the last few weeks, though, I don't think about it much. If it does get root, I'll probably do it- but this is the first time I think it won't matter that much. I'm really enjoying this phone (my first LG).
Cheers!

Don't quote me but the official unlock is just like it was on g5. But boorloader unlock still works for g5 and g6 just not an "official" unlock
Really hoping that they do this soon. The phone was fantastic for the first couple of weeks then the anticipated happened, as has been my experience with all carrier ROMs. It starts to get sluggish, battery life gets crap (I was getting 6+hours SOT, now lucky to get 4), and phone is generally becoming slower.
Like many, I don't need crazy fancy ROMs, the G6 is surprisingly nice in stock format. Just want a clean, light, optimized ROM/kernel without all the TMobile crap they think people like.
