Restore CWM backup or try factory resetting your phone if you don't have a backup and factory resetting doesn't work then flash the stock firmware via odin

I did everything, tried two times, factory reset as well. Cache cleared and then installed. But still after mod reboots the Samsung logo comes up, then startup screen and then the keyguardtest activity error loops in.
Thinking to uninstall this mod now....

Thanks for letting me know,

Please let me know which firmware should I install to have it work.
And many thanks if you can provide the link to that firmware (Indian version)
You should use H6 as your base but am not sure you will be able to downgrade now you may brick your device....as for the link just look in general section there's a thread with the title 'Stock Firmware in google drive ' there you can find the link for H6 firmware

Is there is a plan to make the S5 mods (the mod in this thread) compatible with K1 firmware in future ?

I will take a look at that NK1.
But please tell me whether it has KNOX WARRANTY VOID.
I will try to make my product compatible with as wide a firmware range as possible.
Currently, NH4 is unsupported.

Thanks for waiting.

Dear @jitensetia,
Thanks for using my mod.
From your description, Samsung seems to have changed its Keyguard APKs as not to accept the S5 lockscreen, the same unresolved issue with Samsung changing the framework-res.apk to reject mods. It changed it back again in NH6.
Please flash stock firmware, and if possible, try to revert to NH6, the most stable build that works.
I did not try NK1 yet and the downgrade is not my responsibility.
It should work, however. Read around the forums.

I don't think there's a problem as such. I must say he must not be having a status bar as well (incompatible systemUI). NH6 systemUI does not work with NH1(have personally tried it). So if you have not changed the systemUI much in your mod (except the build.prop hack ) you can make a separate flashable zip containing the K1 systemUI. I am pretty sure this fixes the keyguard test actuvity fc loop.

Thanks

Can you give it a try ?
Flash stock K1 root it by the old method. Copy systemUI.apk and SystemUI.odex to some folder.

Now flash the S5mods. You ll come up with the keyguardtest activity fc loop. I know it's much annoying n may take a few minutes.

copy the SystemUI.apk and SystemUI.odex that yu had copied earlier to the system/app and replace them. Reboot.

Report if it works.
thanks
