Galaxy S5 plus SM-G901F user thread. And Repository :)
- Thread starter androidrouen
- Start date
upgraded my G901F from
rooted by KingRoot G901FXXU1BOK2 (NEE region), knox 0x0
to
G901FXXU1CPE1 (DBT region) without wipe , knox still 0x0
after upgrade telephone started up in 20 minutes, all this time taken by optimization of programms already installed and some other optimizations by new version of Android
upgrade process taken 13% of battery, phone was really hot
after upgrade process all is fine, root lost, but all programs working perfect and all my data still on its own places, nothing deleted at all (except SuperSU)
now phone look faster, will check battery life soon

do you think this firmware will work on Romania too? Should not have anything to do with modem, right?

For G901F?Android for NEE is redy

Now the Nordic countries version is available even on sammobile.
It's a no-brand operator version? No operator "bloatware"?
Thanks
Hello! New and n00b here, hoping for some clarifications from you guys with experience.
I have a network locked G901F on Orange Romania.
1. I know it can be anyone's guess, but for the previous updates, or generally from your experience, how long can it take for the network branded OTA update to arrive?
2. If it's locked, can I flash one of those 2 firmwares already available?
3. Would this trip the Knox counter or void my warranty for some other reason?
4. Do I need a pit file for this flash? And what pit? I just found one for 4.4.4 Orange Ro, but I'm on 5.0.2. Or the pit must correspond to the new firmware I'm flashing (the one uploaded by overlord) and not the current one.
5. Can I somehow backup the current fw? I haven't seen the 5.0.2 for Orange Ro on sammobile. Just in case I need to flash back the "original" thing for warranty claims.
I hope at least some of my questions aren't entirely dumb and thank you for your patience and answers!

1. Could be around the corner, could be months away. Still, i kinda expect it soon.
2. Yes. With odin.
3. As long as its official rom, it wont trip the knox. Or at least in 9x% of cases, they say.
4. Not sure, but you might need a pit. Just try without pit and see. If it says fail (size), u need flash a pit too. You can bring it back to life by flashing what you previously had. Or probably some rom with same, lower size. But havent tried, just revived it with what it had previously. And yes, pit has to be extracted from the rom you wanna flash. If you need a pit, i might put a LP NEE pit for you in my dropbox and share the link, but not until tomorrow evening.
5. You need a custom recovery for a nandroid backup. There might be apps that allow u to backup certain stuff, but not sure you can back up your entire system with an app like you do with a nandroid. Still, i think the Oro rom is on zammobile, just i think it is written as unknown. Check again
If anything is wrong, pls someone correct me

Is that the .pit from the NEE ROM on Sammobile?
If it is I'd be very grateful for a copy as well. I'm having trouble flashing my UK EE (EVR) S5.
OK, I assumed it was listed as unknown but just didn't know which. Considering the CSC G901FORL1BOC1, it is the one listed on 15.07. That clears that up, in case I need back the original one.
Thanks for the answers, guys!
Now I just have to make up my mind if I'm willing to give it another 2-4 weeks for the OTA update or flash one of those unbranded versions. Kind of ridiculous to have bought an almost top of the line Samsung back in august and have to live with an incredibly laggy phone (way slower than S4 on lollipop) and with significant problems. Not to mention that it hasn't received even minor updates in almost a year since I bought it.
As for the pit, thank you, but I have yet to decide if I'm flashing or waiting some more.

Since I updated to mm, I have random signal loss when on cellular data. The signal is completely gone and I get the signal back after about 2 sec. Anyone can help me?? I'm on the official German mm and have a Dutch branded phone (kpn)

I'm having the same, also in the Netherlands... Already tested The German and NEE Marshmallow versions. Does anyone have a solution for this. Everything else works well, but the signal loss is terrible.
OK thanks for the reply! Should be software issue then. Maybe we need to wait for the Dutch version to roll out. Everything else indeed works perfectly!

Hi,
I'm Korean developer who ported the cyanogenmod on G906.
I will try porting the cyanogenmod on G901F.
Please wait few days.
And I'll open a thread on XDA and post builds there.
I need some tester. Because I don't have G901F device.
Thanks.1010Hello friends,
Here you have three ROM (4 files and PIT) compiled by me. This comes in handy if you ever have a semi-brick
