Hello All,

Need some direction please.

I have a Galaxy S5 SM-G900I

Its rooted and confirmed but when i tried to install The Galaxy Project for Samsung Galaxy S5 G900F/FQ/I/M/P/T/W8 the following happens.
I Restart phone into Recovery Mode and Do a FULL Wipe after that a menu appears and i choose install from sd when its done the same menu appears and if i do a reboot device after reboot it goes back to a fresh factory install of 5.0 Lollipop.

Also i have tried a number of different roms and also different root, But to no avail.
The same happens

Any help would be much appreciated

Many Thanks

which Bootloader and Modem you running - i have the same phone and im a flashaholic
DL the BL and modem for MM and install Insanity rom V3 live ( really an S7 rom )
Give that a try
It sounds like you may be using the wrong BL/Modem for your version of software

And also
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s5/development/insanity-s7-edge-port-devices-mm-bl-t3344821

Instructions to install
1) Put the zip file in your SD Card

2) Reboot in Recovery Mode (Twrp )

3) Wipe Data, Cache, Dalvik Cache and System

4) Install the ROM

5) Reboot.​

6) Profit.​

Followed the above instructions but after Data wipe and cache, Dalvic cache and system was no where to be found,
Installed from sd card and as soon as it started i got the following errors
E:footer is wrong
E:signature verification failed

did a reboot and same result as before.
This is driving me nuts.
Many Thanks

Which version of TWRP are you running?

3.0.0.0 works spot on for me, and I've only used it once, but 3.0.2.0 seems OK too, newer versions have problems mounting partitions / External SD

AFAIK, Bootloaders can not be flashed from recovery, you need to flash that with ODIN, probably the modem too, then boot into TWRP and flash the ROM

Would sincerely appreciate any input on this matter.

Many Thanks :)
I use philz recovery ..I find the other one too complicated and easy to go wrong... Use philz and there is a choice for wipe for new ROM... Honestly simple is best.. Used it for years not one issue... Tried the other recovery program and nearly bricked my phone ...

What a shame as i have already installed and used TWRP 3.0.0.0.
And after following instructions and installed Insanity S7 Edge v3 LIVE, upon reboot all was going well and at the end of the progress bar it came to a halt @ starting apps.
It now goes to Samsung splash screen to Insanity rom is installing (starting apps).
Its switching between these two every few seconds.

The phone is otherwise is non responsive,
I dont know hot to stop/fix this.
Again many thanks

I gave it one more try.........

First rooted with
CF-Auto-Root-klte-kltedv-smg900i

Then loaded
twrp-3.0.2-1-klte.img.tar

And finally
PopWiz_Telstra_v5.1_FINAL_G928FUVU2DOH6_G928FTMB2DOH6_TMB.zip

Worked a treat.
Many Thanks :D:D:D
