Hi guys, a got a big problem. Today i've bought an used S5. I always root my phones an install costum roms via twrp, so I wanted to do the same for the S5.
I don`t want that my knox increased so i tried the method with flashing the kernel. Normally nothing new. So I entered the download mode an start. Now I cant start the phone it always start in download mode with the error message " could not do normal boot " . As I wrote the phone is bought today and I forgot to enable usb debugging. What could I do know? (At the moment I downlaod a custom rom, but the download is really slow, and try to throw it by adb sideload on the galaxy. Dont know if it words, but didn't hinkt it will work.)

Has anybody a solution for my issue?

Thanks in advanse

AMAIK, download mode works regardless of setting for USB debugging. The only problem is, that in some cases the driver gets installed only when USB debugging is enabled.
