Hello, all. I just tried to update my S5 to Lollipop without making a nandroid first (my lazy noobness is showing) and it didn't work. I tried to use TWRP to get back to stock, but the new kernel is preventing that change from occurring. All the sources for the stock S5 kernel I've tried are dead links. Can anyone help me out? I don't think it will matter which stock kernel I use, as long as it's a Samsung kernel, right? If I can flash a stock kernel, I'm hoping I can do a data reset on the phone and start over. Thanks.

I was running MIUIwiz and I tried to switch kernels or something and I suppose long story short I was able to recover my phone from an infinite bootloop however I can't restore my back up in clockwork. I actually can't flash any ROM that isn't the odin stock ED01. It's rooted because superuser works. But I'd really like to get back to my MIUIWiz backup.
I think it might be a kernel problem. I honestly don't know which one I need or what.
I realize this information probably sucks but I can answer any question if you just ask it.
Please someone help me!
EDIT: I think I've resolved the issue. I downloaded like 5 kernels and seems like the first one I used is going to work.
what happens when you try and flash a rom?
worst case, odin back to stock and start over.
Or if you think it's a kernel problem, flash a new kernel and try again.

That's the thing. Usually I can fix these type of problem. However I've odin'd to stock multiple times. Tried to flash the MIUIWiz ROM and it just stays on the Samsung logo. Same goes for trying the restore. I've used this to get to ED01 mutliple times as well as manually flashing the updates and I still can't flash anything.
Can you suggest an ED01 MIUIWiz compatible Kernel? Because I don't know what is good or compatible or anything.

Did you wipe data before flashing the ROM? Reading the first few posts in the MIUIWiz thread, it says you have to wipe date before flashing the ROM and that the most common cause of the ROM not loading is not wiping data.
which recovery did you use when you did the back up?

not sure...but if you are properly rooted, perhaps just reflashing whatever current kernel you are on will cure that (and the proper modules). Not 100% sure that is the cure, but from flshing various Mods, kernels and rooted applications which "killed" my phone, whenever I used my nandroid to get back to a normal place I have had to reflash the kernel to make WiFi work
I'm having the same problem. I'm running a stock kernel, please reply if that works for you.
I've searched the problem the only thing I could come up with was to re flash the kernel but since Im running the stock kernel and haven't flash another in the first place that doesn't help me much.

Ok, i got a LOT figured out with this phone last night. It seems that if you flash a custom kernel WITHOUT flashing the modules that go with that kernel in recovery, then you'll lose wifi and possibly some other stuff.
I had flashed a custom kernel and not correctly flashed the modules with it so therefore i lost wifi.
To fix this, simply reflash the kernel in fastboot and then go DIRECTLY into recovery from teh bootloader and flash the modules, then simply reboot. There's no need to wipe and cache or dalvik cache.
If you HAVEN'T flashed any custom kernel then just look for the stock kernel modules on this forum (a simple search will yeild results) and ket the unsecured stock kernel too and flash them and you'll be set to go.
Hope this helps you guys out
So ,im sorry but its a long story. Hopefully someone can help. My note is Rooted Ive been using TWRP. Everything had been fine until 2 days ago. I tried flashing a ROM i found on Goomanger.( I had been running liquid smooth) just wanted to try something different. Anyways it got stuck on a boot loop. Cant remember the name of the Rom. Anyways i was able to get back to recovery, thankfully. But when i wiped and flashed back to liquid smooth it would say optimizing apps, then it would reach a certain number then reboot and star all over again. So then i tried another Rom and the same thing happened. tried flashing back to stock rooted but it would turn on then completely crash and star booting up again. So finally i was able to flash paraandroid 4.1.2 and Gapps, but here is the kicker i have no service (AT&T) says cannot locate network, my IMEI is gone basically the cellular isn't working. Everything else works fine WiFi,apps, camera. Just cant make calls. I really need your guys help please.:crying:
If you have a suggestion please let me know, i hate using an old Iphone

Just odin back to stock. Get a complete factory stock image from the main sticky thread and flash it with Odin and Download Mode. There's a bug on one of the TWRP versions with 4.3-based ROMs that will put it into a bootloop by breaking device reboots. I was unable to flash my way out of the problem and was forced to do a complete reimage which solved all the problems and put me right back to clean-out-of-the-box state, then I reinstalled TWRP (though an older version before the boot loop bug) and re-flashed my custom ROM. The package I used was the stock image and Odin tool all in one .exe, just plug in to download mode and run it and it flashed bootloader, recovery, system, kernel, etc. all back to stock.

Thanks thats what i did, I just basically had to use KIES to use the emergency recovery, then root my phone again. My question is what version of TWRP causes this? cause i used the newest version i could find off GOO. My other concerne is, will it accept or be safe to use a custom ROM? Well i gues ill find out :laugh: THANKS AGAIN!
Everyone with the sgh-i717 is having problems with the latest TWRP and the most stable version is 2.5.0.0. Go with that one or you'll be starting all over again I imagine. And don't just stop at the download link in the OP's, read the thread and find out what's going on. The problems with TWRP have been going on for a while and the development threads have a lot of comments about the latest build causing problems. Good luck! :good:
I have flashed numerous phones and tablets before, but I have been away from android for a while and now I am having problems.
I have been searching for a while, but I guess I just dont understand what is happening with my phone.
I am currently on 2.1, after restoring with Odin. I want to get to KitKat, specifically 4.4.2 "Speedy CarbonRom".
I have tried flashing KK Kernel v1.0, which just got me to bootloop. I have tried flashing CarbonRom, resulting in a status 0.
Now, my phone will not even boot into recovery when holding both volume buttons and power.
Please help, I am really lost here.
Thanks.
Well I guess I solved it.
I had to go to ICS first, then flash KK Kernel, then flash CarbonRom.
desperate with bootloop on GF850F
hey guys!
i'm really desperated now, i'm trying for two days to flash a new rom on my phone and troubleshoot the problems.
my phone have a bootloop and i cant break through it. i want to install a custom rom (SM-G850F Galaxy Alpha OzcanRom Aroma Lollipop v2.5 (07.08.2015)) and followed all steps correctly, but something went anyway wrong.
maybe there was a crc error while download the rom, i didnt know it because i deleted the old file and downloaded a new. now i have the problem that i cant upload it to my phone, i tried to update to the newest adb (1.4.2.) (and using this tutorial).. but when i want to push it to the phone, the console output is: "error: closed". so i googled for more information and how to fix that and came to a thread here on xda , but nothing will work.
normally i'm able to handle technical problems, i've rooted and installed custom roms on a few phones.. but this time, i'm feeling like a real noob. i'm sure, this is just a little problem and i'm only to fixed on the wrong place.
if somebody could help me, i would spend a little reward for the hero who saved my day!
What should work always is flashing stock ROM for any region with Odin. This should produce a bootable phone. Then you can go for TWRP and flash OzcanROM.
Keep in mind that you can't install OzcanROM over a 4.4.4 ROM because Ozcan is 5.0.2 based and you need the stock bootloader for 5.0.2 on your device first. This is also done by flashing stock ROM with Odin.
For fast downloading of the 5.0.2 firmware try SamFirm.
