Thank you very much for capturing this one. I've posted this to the Portal

This update is quite interesting actually
http://paste.omnirom.org/view/38942c5a is the updater-script.
The only "main" check here is that you're not downgrading the version of the firmware, via a ro.build.date.utc, and that the device being flashed is a C6806.
Asides from that, it's a regular full install to the device.
The only "patch" file is recovery-from-boot.p, which will only update the recovery if it needs done. This seems to be designed to prevent a downgrade of recovery (you can't downgrade it if the zip always tries a binary patch on it).

Remember use the force and put the pedal2themetal.

Can this be manually flashed on a 6806?
Hmm, Says this is a Togari. Guess I need to edit something.

Do not flash this as is. Hard bricked my c6806, lol. Oh well. I needed to send it in anyways. It has a dead pixel...
Phone wont even turn on......usb picks it up as a unidentified device. Any suggestions? lol. Not a big deal if i broke it. Was goind to send it in next week anyways.

Are you serious? Have you tried to press and hold VOL UP when you plug it into the computer? The LED should be blue (Fastboot) and if you press and hold VOL DOWN while you plug it in, it's in Flashmode (no LED). See if Flashtool picks it up. If not, well.. it's dead.

i meant fastboot mode ^^
(1) Use PC Companion and do a repair.
(2) Download the relevant firmware file and use Flashtool to flash.
I will try this right now and I will report if it worked or not ^^

You need to provide a lot more information.
If you follow the OP I gave you in the earlier post, it works. Why are you using Fastboot??? You should be using Flashmode in Flashtool.
You need to ensure you have the correct PC drivers.
Again, assuming you have read and followed the suggested linked method, provide more info about your phone state.
And which method did not work? Us your bootloader unlocked?

How can I see if it is unlocked ^^ sorry im a noob+
Unlocking is an intentional act. If you have not done it before, then it's still locked.

oh okay. Is this really relevant? Because.. I dont know but I think, that the warranty void is damaged by doing so
It's relevant because if your bootloader is unlocked, then you need to use Sony Flash Tool to flash stock firmware.
So which method failed for you? And which step failed and what's the error? You need to give us more info so that we can help you.

[Lollipop] 5.0 System, Boot and FOTAKernel Images

As the title states here are the Lollipop 5.0 GPE System, Boot, and FOTAKernel images. The System is prerooted (SuperSU v2.37) with busybox (v1.22.1) installed
Please NOTE:
These images are to be used AFTER you have done the OTA update (since a lot of other files/partitions are also updated).
I will post a detailed procedure to install/flash the OTA available in this thread, incase you are running into any issues with the OTA.

Few Noob questions
Disclaimer: I've been reading the forum for over a week now, trying to get the steps figured out so I dont bork this thing
I am a former Samsung user, and was spoiled by Chainfire's CF-Autoroot and Odin on my S2 and S4. Sadly, I have never used ADB until I did a TA partiton backup on my Ultra GPe.
As of now, I have root, have backed up my TA partition and my BL is locked. So do I need to unroot, then sideload the OTA linked in the first thread with ADB? After that, do I use Flashtool to install the 3 images posted by Doomlord? Thanks in Advance

For now I would just flash the OTA with adb sideload from the stock GPe recovery or wait for the OTA to arrive on the GPe

Baseband issues?
After flashing this and wiping everything as recommended everything works great and root is there as expected. However, now I only have H+ and can no longer connect to LTE on ATT. Had no connection issues on 4.44. Thanks to doomlord for root on 5.0, but is there a baseband I should flash to get LTE connectivity back?

Rent a center lock

So I bought this S5 on craigslist, imei number is clean, but an app called sec.abt locks me out of the device. Tells me to call rent a center which I did but they weren't sure what I was talking about. Is it a part of Knox? What is sec.abt?
I flashed CM12.1 and I bypassed the issue but when I restore touchwiz it freaks out again.
I was intrigued by this. According to this you've done what everyone else had done to solve this problem by installing CM12.1

Solved?
Were you able to solve this issue? I had the same thing happen on my wife's phone after using it for about 6 months, after going through hell and back I managed to re-flash the phone and got it working 100% with no issues.
Yes I made a full flashable zip file to help people who aren't comfortable with coding!

Some people have bought there's on eBay or Craigslist and all of a sudden one day it locks the phone with a rent a center screen and tells you to call them or visit the store. Happened to me and they wanted to to bring it in, like I was gonna lose my 400? Hell no, I flashed it and problem solved.
Flashed with the oem stock pda by the way.

Rent-a-center code is still on your device. The code hangs out in a partition that Odin doesn't touch. Even if your phone isn't locked down you can flash my zip to prevent a future lock and remove the code.

[Devs only] H910 v10L ROM (boot.img not included)

Here is the full /system (unmodified) for the latest AT&T ROM. Big thanks to @Nevea for getting TWRP on his wife's phone and getting me the /system for this. I do not have the boot.img, as I believe Dirty Santa requires a boot.img flash, so it would not have been stock.
For users: THIS IS NOT FLASHABLE. This is just for devs to be able to build a ROM with.
