G975W Variant It seems the G975W variant can't be rooted, modded or really altered in any meaningful way. Is the G975W a useless POS or are all S10+ devices nerfed in this way?

The Good: Really well-done app, could use more documentation/tool-tips. The Bad: OP is DOA. To be truly effective, the "Pro" version is required - but nobody can buy it?

That's a big no on that. Barely had things working on Oreo and now that Pie is being OTA'd I think it could be a while. Best stick with Oreo for now - if you can.

My bad, this mod is 6.0.1, Marshmallow. I'm also working on a Tab A and it's running Oreo, got too many mods on the go. ;) Correcting the offending bits above...

Same situation, I have an old S5 that I use as a backup and travel phone, it was getting real laggy and the battery was only lasting 4-5 hours. Even with good maintenance and regular cleaning, it just wasn't holding up. Did a pile of research, most of the other non-stock ROMs are whizbang but...

Looking for a stock-ish ROM for an old S5 and this certainly is lean, although, maybe a little too lean. Suggestions: Basic file manager (not as system, can be removed/replaced) Can't select files, ringtones, notifications, etc. Install apks... No gallery/cannot select wallpapers? This is a...

Warning to anyone considering installing this, if you're coming from 6.0 do NOT install this, your device will soft/brick. There is ZERO support for this ROM, OP is gone for 5 years.

Came here for answers,i have the same question. This process just popped up, haven't installed anything recently but Google maps did an update so that might be a clue.

Found it. https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=95916177934550566

~100's pages of dead links and failed md5's. Pretty annoyed. I managed to get the last version of the ROM itself but the kernel/recovery and the modem all fail. If I can track them down and the MD5's match the OP I will repost them on a perm-repository because tracking these old files down is a...

Resurrecting a necro but... Some of these original files are hard to find. Is there a mirror with the last/latest rom, kernel and modem? Iirc, the kernel had a recovery built-in, can someone confirm? Edit: I've re-imaged my I777 to stock, can't flash SHO3 because of signature fails. Ran SHO2...

P600 support is sorely needed, here.

Finally took the plunge and got this working. At boot, I have a "Set Warranty Bit: kernel" warning but it still boots. I'm using twrp recovery, Philz's wouldn't work at all. Nicely stripped ROM, overall. It's fast and once the tweaks are added from the aroma pack, no problems at all. I'd like...

Sorry to derail but I never got a clear answer. I want to flash this rom but am coming from absolute stock. I need a walk through and the files I need. Doing 5 (yes FIVE) of these so I can't mess is up. Any one got steps for a somewhat noob flasher? Thanks! Sent from my SM-G900W8

Sorry for the absolute noob question here but I haven't flashed since my trusty SGSII. With Knox and locked bootloaders, etc., it's a little daunting with my SGS5. Could someone point me to a step by step guide on getting this running with root, coming from absolute stock? Thanks. Sent from...

This Rom is the only reason I miss my S4 and S2. We really need you on the S5! :) Sent from my SM-G900W8

Well, so much for this Rom. NEXT! Sent from my SM-G900W8

You do realize it's *#2263# right? Sent from my SM-G900W8

^^ it won't bug or 'nag' you. In fact, you won't even notice unless you go looking for it. All it does is trip a counter/flag that tells your carrier or Samsung that you rooted your phone which kills your one year warranty. That's it. Sent from my SM-G900W8

This was at my carrier's store. Samsung store? Who pays retail for a phone? Sent from my SM-G900W8

May be a silly question but did you try replacing the recovery? Sent from my SM-G900W8

No, the Knox counter cannot be reset at this time. But really, who cares. Besides, it's only a one year warranty. Sent from my SM-G900W8

I have two S5's from Canadian Bell. How do I get them ripped? Sent from my SM-G900W8

Since you have no warranty, my post doesn't apply to.you, does it. Sent from my SM-G900W8

Knox I'll share my experience for what it's worth.. I returned my S4's and picked up two S5's. The 4's had been heavily mod'd and were, of course, rooted. While the lady at the store was getting my new phones ready I did a factory restet/wipe on the spot. It took a minute and she just glanced...

This thread is a repository for stock roms, right? I just got two S5's, the SM-G900W8 variants. I can post the roms to any host, I was just asking how I go about ripping the rom out.

That was my sense of it, as well, when I first looked into the specs. It didn't seem like much of an 'up' from the S4 - but - having used both now quite a bit, I can say the S5 feels more refined, polished and it certainly is much faster. Sure, I won't ever use the fingerprint scanner or the...

I have two I can post that are stock. How would I go about doing this?

Picked up a couple of these today. Any plans to mod this? Pretty please? :)

I strongly recommend you look into ShoStock - S4 ROM on AT&T. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2639202 Since you're running 4.4.2 you can bet Knox will trip and hose your warranty, not that it matters, but Sho has a beautiful, very stable and clean stock ROM that's perfect for...

Got two S5's today, the SM-G900W8 variant. Anyone had any luck with this?

Got two S5's today, an upgrade from the S4's. In November 2013, my carrier pushed the 4.2 update with Knox. Since I already had root, I nerfed it all, deleting everything related to Knox. Might not have got it all but I was able to delete most of it - certainly enough to cripple it. Now with the...

Got two of these today. Can't wait to get rooted and busy cleaning this up - but - there's a lot less bloat than what we're used to! Very impressed with the S5 so far, it's a sweet device. A few details for the techs: Model: SM-G900W8 Android: 4.4.2 Baseband: G900W8Vlu1ANCA Kernel: 3.4.0-965573...

Damn, used to run sho on my S2 and sub'd this. Derp. Thanks. ;) Sent from Bikini Bottom.

No posts in almost a month. Is this rom dead? I've got a i337M stock and need to install a recovery and shostock. Do I need safestrap on 4.3 with mk6? Ive rooted and it already tripped knox to x01 so dont care about warranty much since there seems to be no fix for the knox counter. Any help...

I had to Google it. Apparently, it's UK spelling for 'airplane'.

Just curious but, wtf is "Aeroplane" mode?

Why is ESET blocking the motochopper site?

Everything checks out fine for me.

Don't have that problem. No offense but, the FIRST thing I do when I install a new rom is to delete the boot animation. Fast boot times ftw! Sent from Bikini Bottom...

Very happy with your work, Mr. Sho. I had been running Sho2 for well over a year, recently jumped to this and haven't found any problems. In fact, it's snappier than most, I ran the latest 3DMark on stock (no OC) and was impressed. Keep up the good work! Sent from Bikini Bottom...

Used this with no problems on my SGS-I7777. I've used many providers and flashed a pile of times before seeing this. What's the cause for the new lock?

re: my sim lock, I'm in full dork-mode for missing the RED text in op. This did the trick; https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.spocky.galaxsimunlock Cost me $5usd but worth it. Back to being giddy over this awesome rom. ;) I've used a few different providers over the last 2...

Sho, I think I love this rom. I'd been using sho2 and loved it but decided for something new. Anyway, have a huge, really weird problem I need help with. My sgs2 has always been unlocked, used it around the world with no problems. Recently did two things, switched providers and switched roms. At...

Running 3.11 now, any real big improvements in 4.0 that merit the full wipe? Better battery, speed, anything?

Having tried ALL of the ICS roms, SHOstock beats them all for having a well-rounded feature set and being the most bug-free ROM. Kudos, this is my new build. All we need is a kitchen. :)

So this is dead now? I hate it when he wanders off like that...

Data FIX for not AT&T Carriers Originally ran this on AT&T but am using another carrier now and my data didn't work. Came over from your old rom (LilRom 1.3) and am on 2.7 now. No matter what I tried, I simply couldn't get data to work (wifi worked fine) So I just manually added a new APN for...
