Is there a way to clone a device?
I have two Samsung S5's, and one of them is running GREAT. The other one, not so much.
In lieu of cloning, i'd like to have some help figuring out what i'm doing wrong in this process:
I rooted the phone, installed Plasma ROM 2.0, and debloated. I lost the ability to rotate the screen, and I finally did something about it.
I returned the phone to stock, and attempted to root and install Plasma just as before.
I'm using the root instructions (below), and i've run into one of three issues:
1) When I run towelroot, it says this device is not supported.
2) When I am able to get towelroot to run, the phone boot hangs after step 7, install NI2 Stock Kernel.
BY boot hang, I mean that the startup screen appears (Samsung), and then it just stays there. I don't see any action, and it doesn't respond to any buttons.
I'm using ODIN 3.07
I'm running Windows 7 Pro 64 Bit
I've got a couple of different cables, and haven't had any issues with that connection.
ROOT STEPS:
1: Download the RootS5.zip file and unzip it to your desktop.
2: Copy tr_v2.apk, BusyBox.apk, Safestrap-G900V-3.75-KitKat.apk and UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.46.zip to your extSd card on your phone.
3: Run Odin3 and load G900V_NCG_Stock_Kernel.tar.md5 in the AP slot.
4: Shut your phone off and enter download mode by holding down the power, home and volume down buttons until it boots to download mode and then press the volume up key.
5: While in download mode connect your phone to your PC and Odin should say you are connected. Now press the start button to flash G900V_NCG_Stock_Kernel.tar.md5 to your phone. The phone will now reboot and update some apps, let it finish. After this there will be a bunch of force closes. Just close them until they go away.
6: Open your file browser, go to tour extSD, install and run tr_v2.apk, BusyBox.apk and then Safestrap-G900V-3.75-KitKat.apk in that order.
7: Shut down the phone, enter download mode again, flash NI2_stock_kernel.tar.md5 and reboot into safestrap.
8: While in safestrap install UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.46.zip from your extSD card and reboot.
If all went well you should be on the NI2 firmware, rooted and safestrap installed. For those who do not want to install safestrap you can skip those steps and update superSU from the playsotre.
