Hey guys, been searching hard, lots of info however, im unfamiliar with naming conventions used by this handset.
Im currently on:
4.4.2
Build Number: KOT49H.G900TUVU1CNK2
Baseband Number: G900TUVU1CNK2
Currently rooted, TWRP Installed, on T-Mobile.
Everything is fine.
Obviously OTA is not available, so my question is, is lollipop available to my device yet?
if so, is it true that the OS is more efficient? (Battery wise)
Also is UPSM (Ultra Power Saving Mode) Available on Android L?
Thank you!
Hi there,
Apparently you haven't been following the news in here. There is a android lollipop thread in this same page, where you will find good posts about the new features and highlights of android L.
Yes, android L has been out since Feb.18 for the T-Mobile galaxy s5 version.
Even though you are currently rooted, you can always flash via odin the stock firmware.
On that note, I'm closing this thread.

Hello all,
So I received my new to me S4, and prior to activating it I wanted to Fist get rid of Knox and put on a custom ROM.However, after much reading I am just more confused. I hoping that someone will just give me the Dummies guide to rooting, nixn' Knox and installing a custom ROM (hyperdrive, or CM).
Like first go download these apps, next do this, then that, kinda instructions.
the phone I received is an:
SCH-i545
Android Version 4.4.2
Baseband I545VRUFNC5
Kernal 3.4.0 [email protected]#1
Build# K0T49H.I545VRUFNC%
SE for Android Status: Enforcing; SEPF_SCH_I545_4.4.2_0011
Secure boot Status Type: Samsung
Security software version: MDF v1.0 Release 2
Hope this is not too much info, but I read all kind of post that seem to condradict one another, just when I think I've found the info I read something else that makes me feel this could lead to disaster. Please help. The last android I had was a Droid Eris, and things seem to have changed quite a bit.
Thanks

Read my whole post linked below. It is accurate. Do not upgrade to NG6, it is a pain and has root but no custom rom capability (yet). On NC5 however, you can flash a ROM using Safestrap (Do not use the safestrap linked in the thread below (3.72), use the safestrap in the general forum (3.75)). DO NOT FLASH TWRP OR CWM. We have a locked bootloader and flashing those is impossible as of yet.
With safestrap, you cannot flash CM, AOSP, or anything that contains a custom kernel. You can flash Hyperdrive, eclipse, and in rare cases Google Edition (The Safestrap version only!!! Not the normal Google edition!)

Thanks npjohnson! very helpful, slow day here in Cisco VOIP land so, I was messing around and got Towelroot, and Root checker. After those two, I installed SuperSU, Thanks Tomsgt! It has all worked so far and SuperSU as apparently disabled Knox…. So Im on my way here. Your post should now take me all the way home. Thanks again! :highfive:
My specs:
SCH-I545
Android 4.2.2
Baseband: I545VRUAMDK
Kernel: 3.4.0-562219
[email protected] #1
Build Number: JDQ39.I545VRUAMDK
Rooted
CWM Recovery Installed
My questions:
1. I've found many threads and great instructions for installing CyanogenMod. I'm still having difficulty separating the wheat from the chaff - Which version should I use for my phone, given that I'm an MDK still running 4.2.2?
2. Which version of Gapps will I need for that version of CyanogenMod?
3. If the answers to the previous questions are NO YOU CAN'T DO THAT, is there a way for me to update my Android Version to the most current, and THEN flash CyanogenMod?
I understand that there are resources out there to get this done. I've searched and found most of them. I'm just not entirely clear on which version is most appropriate for my phone, which by most standards here is somewhat pristine in that it's still running MDK, and a bit outdated in that it's running on 4.2.2. Please be gentle with me. I'm just trying to get up to speed and be productive in this forum. Thanks for your help!!

1) You need to download a nightly version of CM, I would advise reading the thread over there to see which one is the most stable before flashing. From what I've heard though CM has been very buggy.
http://download.cyanogenmod.org/?device=jflte&type=nightly
2) You should download the latest version of KitKit's GApps

3) Happy flashing.

1. Ok. Does CM 11 differ from 10.x in that it isn't compatible with kit Kat? Does it matter what OS I'm running in terms of what version of CM I flash? Can you recommend any particularly stable Roms?
2. Thank you!
3. Thank you again!
npjohnson:
I installed clockworkmod recovery 6.0.4.7 through the flashify app. Can you point me towards a place I can verify that this is the correct version for kit Kat?
Thank you for your help!

6.0.4.7 is kitkat comp.
Personally, I run the Google Edition ROM, but Ive run CM11, and it works equally well, and had all the CMish stuff. *Some* issues with mms on cm.
In the CM11 thread is a link for CWM 6.0.5.0. I have successfully flashed CM11 with versions as early as 6.0.4.4. There are no KK compatible (meaning they work with everybody) but the most up to date is recommended. The latest nightlies have been very good. The only issue I currently experience is compass orientation is off by 180°. Maps and navigation work properly. I would recommend using the NC5 or NG6 modem only for best results. Don't flash a modem+nonhlos later than MDK, flashing a later modem only is fine and will cause no problems. Because of the kernel and code changes over the last couple months you will want a newer modem to prevent BT/WiFi/Mobile Data issues. Before you flash make a nandroid and be sure to clean flash since you are coming from a different ROM. As for Gapps they are all written by Google so Gapps are Gapps. I use the Paranoid Android flavor, they have also been updated just a few days ago.
Happy Flashing!!
FernBch, thank you for the excellent summary. That is all very useful info, and I feel way more confident about doing all this now thanks to you all.
OK last question - Is there a way for me to update my OS to 4.4 without losing my MDK status? If so, where can I find a procedure for doing that??
You guys rock. Seriously. Thank you!!

For a stable ROM I would recommend either the Google Play Edition ROM or The Dan's CM ROM.
Also you asked about not losing MDK, you won't lose MDK when flashing those ROMs just be sure to NOT take any OTA updates and you should be fine.
Thank you SkrillaKev! I've hunted a bit to find a thread that explains how to disable OTA but can't seem to find it.
I'm sure it'll pop up.
Hopefully soon - those daily OTA reminders are super annoying!
FernBch, regarding your 180deg compass issue, have you tried third party kernels? I've been fighting this issue for over a year and gave up. I had with stock, stock based, and any other roms I ever tried. Been running GPE rom for some time now, decided to give ktoonsez kernel a try. Compass problem solved! Worth a shot if you haven't tried it yet.

None of the third party kernels work with the latest CM nigbtlies that I know of. When CM made the code and kernel changes they all quit working. As far as I know no one has updated them to work with the latest versions.
^^Good point. Completely forgot that change took place.
Maybe this device will get the support it needs at some point. Maybe not.
Hello everyone.
I am looking to Root my T-Mobile Galaxy S5 (G900T) phone. It is currently updated to Firmware 5.1.1 and the Baseband version is G900TUVU1FOG6. After I would like to install the most stable / secure version of CyanogenMod.
I looked at a few other topics on these forums, one being the compliation thread with all the roots , patches, etc but it says it is not possible to root anything with FOG6. (This thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/tmo.../compilation-s5-g900t-stock-firmware-t3042400)
Is that thread still acurate?
Thanks in advance.
Edit: Also looking to get a good recovery to make this process easier.
Inaccurate/out of date. I had it rooted the day the kernel source was released

Hello Guys.
I planning of rooting my Tablet Z (SGP312) still in new-ish condition.
It is not updated still have android 4.1.2 on it (Built 10.1.C.0.370).
I just want to get rid of the sony mess what is on the tablet.
What program you recommend for this android version ?
It is not going to be my first rooting as my Galaxy phone and my LG G pad rooted as well.
I heard a lot problems with the updates (kitkat and the new lollipop) so not planning to update it.
Anybody use here other newer Android version (not from Sony) on this tablet with no Problem ?
Thanks for answer.
(If you can an email me on [email protected] would be really appreciated).

Firmware is very old, but you can root it with DooMLoRD_SuperSU.zip or DooMLoRD_Superuser.zip
Also KK and LP firmware are great, so no reasons for not updating. Also CM is working good on tablet.
Sony Tablet Z what you recommend
Thanks for the quick replies guys.
Keep up the really great work.
In the meantime Azar_98 was so kind to answer to my private message.
He recommended to put the 5.1.1 prerooted firmware onto it.
Just updated the tablet now there is 4.3 on it now (10.4 built) and there is available
the 10.5 built I think it is the Kitkat.
I see you have 5.1.1 prerooted on your tablet.
Is there any how-to on this site what explain the installation of this version ?
thanks again.

so im afrer as new a custom rom as possible for my device
current info is
Model: SM-G357FZ
Android Version: 4.4.4
Baseband: G357FZXXU1AOB1
knox: 2.2
ideally im after a custom rom which is marshmallow or later with expandable memory as this one is mostly for testing apps im making and just general testing
:good: any help would be appreciated as i look into it i cant find anything for this particular device just others like it I need one i know 100% will work and has what i need
anybody?
23 views no comments yet someone must have an idea sureley
it is rooted if it makes a difference but on stock still
https://samsung-firmware.org/es/model/SM-G357FZ/
Here it is bro Although the download speed is so slow
As far as I am aware of, there is no custom ROM for SM-G357FZ. There is only this ROM from Samsung, but it is Android 4.4.4. Pity, as this device would have easily carried Marshmallow or Nougat. However, there have been no developer who would have devoted his/her time.
