Out of the game for awhile and want to update - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5

Hi! Haven't been around in some time and am looking for a little guidance. I am rooted 4.4.2 running AllianceROM_G900TUVU1BNG3 and am looking to seriously update haha. I am thinking about maybe trying Magisk so I can play Pokemon Go (don't judge heh) and would appreciate any help getting me going. It's been awhile but I am comfortable with flashing recoveries and so forth. Not sure if there are steps I need to take ect. since I am so far behind on updates. Thanks for any info you can throw my way :good::good:

Okay well first before you install magisk you'll have to install a new rom because magisk does not support the Android version you're on. If you want, I can link you to some nice ROMs that are stable and provide good battery life. Then after that we can go from there.

Ok, sounds good. I was under the impression that I had to go back to stock unrooted to use magisk. Should I update my TWRP?

[Q] olityues confirmed

I have a Pantech Discover that is rooted, but I am unable to find a version of CWM Recovery that will work on this phone. I was wondering what the process would be to install a custom ROM, if it's even possible ?

After a quick search it seems like the furthest you can go with this device is root. According to this thread a recovery can not currently be installed, and therefore you cant install a rom.

Thats not the answer I was looking for, but I was afraid of that. Well, hopefully some more developers purchase this phone and begin more development. This is an extremely fast phone (5444 on Quadrant) and I am very happy with it so far. Thank for your quik response to my question.

Actually my daughter have a nabijr 4gb and I did a mess with it.:crying:
I need the factory rom , if anybody can help me I will appreciate.
In Need of Stock Rom installable on TWRP or Stock Recovery for Nabi Jr 4GB edition.
I see support for the 16GB but is there any support for the 4GB, I did a factory reset one day for my kid then next thing you know it did not boot, come to find out the update that I downloaded from the website was corrupted and it installed a corrupted rom. I tried searching everywhere and there just not seem to be any hope in finding a stock rom with the Nabi Jr 4GB edition. Not everybody has the expensive 16gb or dream tab or even Nabi 2. Please someone, help.
I don't mean to resurrect this, but if ANYONE has a stock rom for the 4GB I'd greatly appreciate it. I'm unable to update for some reason and this is the only thing I can think to do. I've done everything else.

Read various threads...
Everyone's idea of "good" is different. Try this for starters http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2551140
Then try for yourself.
Bit more responsive? How fast do you want? I've never had such a fast and responsive phone. I've always been a flash junkie but I don't even feel the need to root not alone install a custom rom. The speed and battery on this phone is simply amazing.
Sent from my LG-D802 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
I would suggest you not to root but it's too late anyway.
Have fun playing with it.
Thanks for all your replies, yes it is quick but the stock rom does it no justice i can tell that it could be quicker, and i have to root so i can do certain things that i need to do.

Get TWRP recovery 2.6.3.3. on it and flash you some CM11
Of course, first make a back up of your current rom so you can always go back to it.But you just got it, I enjoyed the stock rom for a bit before I starting flashing other roms. Then again we didnt have many to flash in the beginning
Houstonn's 4.4.2 PA has been good to me. 12/24 release is very smooth and great battery life.
OP enjoy your new device, go check out the Development section for all the great work....ensure you are in the correct Model forums.

[Q] MDK w/ Latest Stock Rom

Hi All,
I was curious what my best method to receiving the latest stock Rom on my phone would be, while, if possible, maintaining MDK as my phone's Bootloader.
All I'm really looking for is the MDK bootloader, Latest Stock Rom, and root.
I'm no longer really interested in keeping up with custom roms at this time, which has led me to consider unrooting the phone and taking the OTA updates, but haven't yet, as I feel I may regret it later.
Please advise,
Dan.

If you are rooted and have recovery just flash the mk2 full stock deodex...its 100% stock mk2(newest ota) minus the locked down bootloader...it gives you the full experience without losing ability to flash aosp roms...don't forget to backup current rom beforehand... Good luck!

Unfortunately this device will likely be locked just like the J327T.
I have been watching that thread and everything that has been tried is pretty much what I attempted to explain would be a waste of time.
The combination firmware is useless to gain root on nougat.
No auto root is ever gonna work either and neither is Flashfire or SuperSU.
There is a list of reasons why these things won't work, but I'll not waste my time in that thread explaining why.
I don't mind explaining further why here. Just so others will not waste efforts like on the J327T thread.
I'll let that thread run its course until all avenues have reached their inevitable dead ends.
They are harsh words, but unfortunately they are truth.
Suffice to say that the only real way for this device to see root is either an unlocked bootloader (highly unlikely), a proper engineering binary or an exploit is released for Android 7.
If an exploit is found then Kingroot will almost certainly incorporate it in their Software and then there maybe a chance that the combination binary (not the whole firmware) will help get root.
If anyone can confirm for sure this device doesn't have a locked bootloader then I'd be happy to work on it.

Yes there is a fairly easy way.
Also you need to read my posts in that thread you linked.
I have requested several times for it to be closed.
Nothing in that thread will work.
Again it comes down to people who don't understand what they are posting.
It's not me being negative, these things just don't work. If you want me to go in to detail for why then I can explain.

No, do bother going into detail, i prolly wouldnt understand.
If/When you work on either the J327T or J727T, i'm here to test....
BTW Chimera is saying them can root both devices. Before i think of putting up the money, what are your thoughts? At that point i might be rooted but no recovery
J727T/1 Recovery/Root (SS SafeStrap)???
Would this work?
Or be a good place to start, building off it???
IF I remember right, it was used for the S4 or S5 att, with same issue. It would set up recovery after bootloader, or something like that. I'm no noon, but not a senior either.
Just a suggestion??
Would be great if someone could implement it to work??
What u think?

I'm don't believe it is still being used today on the new OS's.
Was just a thought, if anyone thinks it may be an option to get the file and port it or whatever have to do to it to make it work for this soo to say non-rootable phone.
Does anyone have any thoughts on this here idea?
