SM-G900R6 VZW LRA Partner Carrier Variant Help Thread

[fantasy2c]

@fantasy2c all I see is vzw flashing instructions, since I'm on 5.0 already do I just clean flash the full package, flash the Lra zip, restore apn?

Download or, reboot to recovery, use twrp, if u don't have a backup I highly suggest u make one, hit wipe, hit advanced wipe, select dalvic, cache, system, data nothing else. Swipe right. Once cleared go to install, go to where u put or zip file, select it and flash.

After that's finished flash the zip evilryry posted, now u can boot up or you can flash ktoonsez kernel then boot up. Once it loads, it'll be 10 to 20 minutes setup apn backup restore, delete apns then restore those you saved from your stock rom and enjoy the rom.

Verizon s5 is slightly different most have locked bootloader we don't so they are way more limited in what they can do opposed to us

@fantasy2c is it supposed to stick on the Samsung Galaxy S5 boot screen and say Set Warranty Bit: kernel, is that where it sits for 10-20min?

No it should only be there for like 5 seconds then go to a Samsung logo

How did u flash it?
If using ktoonsez kernel you used the tw one for 5.0 right?

 

[Morinzo]

@fantasy2c I was watching the install and it said something about no kernel installed that if it was a dev edition to install the appropriate kernel. Do I need to install the ktoonz kernel before the rom??

 

[fantasy2c]

Flash rom, evilryry's zip, then ktoonsez tw 5.0 kernel...

@fantasy2c I did that exact steps after the wipe and it got stuck on Sam Galaxy S5 screen. I'll retry it.

Maybe you got a bad download, re-download and make sure the rom is on internal storage..

Morinzo I don't think anything was wrong with the patch I gave you but just in case here's another to try, remember, wipe, flash rom+my patch+ktoonsez kernel tw 5.0 and that should be all that's necessary. https://www.dropbox.com/s/7c7ht6swrn0tfv8/LRA_Lollipop_5.0_vzw_patch_v2.zip?dl=0

@Morinzo I just tested evilryry's v2 patch and everything works, just have to add in apn backup and restore to restore apns. Boot up took me roughly 15 minutes give or take but all is good

I have everything redownloaded & will test soon.

Thank you guys for the help & I will go back and give post thanks soon.

AFAIK it is not. Auto network selection doesn't connect and when I select manually they do not seem to work.

Just to confirm when restoring back to stock ROM everything works perfectly on Bluegrass SIM

Do you mean the stock rom that was posted earlier in the thread?

Let me rephrase my question.. I am considering rooting my phone. And I would like the ability to still get updates and maybe even flash custom roms eventually.. But with my old HTC phone I never could get the MMS to work after words. Are you telling me that if I use the stock rom that was linked, MMS and Data will work just fine without any modifications?

 

[alexander7567]

Also is it possible to unroot? I know most people can just use a flash program and reset everything.. But how do you get a Bluegrass Cellular flash file?

 

[Morinzo]

After I redownloaded everything I got it working!!! So far it's alot faster and smoother, I have verified calls, 3g, 4g lte, txt working on it so far.

I was going to use the same sd card to do my other 900r6, would the APN backup be the same for it? Same model & carrier?

Will give post thanks when I get home..

Flash file is the same for each carrier that uses this model. Can get the firmware on sammobile. Build OB3 is lollipop

Apn backup is tied to the carrier so as long as your other r6 is on the same carrier which I assume it would be then yes it'll work.
