For AT&T or Verizon Galaxy S5, you cannot install the standard CWM or TWRP recovery via ODIN.
Instead, you can use SafeStrap Recovery, which will allow you to install custom ROMs even with a locked bootloader.

Don’t know how to install custom ROM using SafeStrap Recovery?

I have my phone rooted verizon S5 rooted, but did not put a custom Rom on. For the past two days, my email, voice, dropbox, and other apps keeps force closing with the message “unfortunately, google voice(or other app name) has stopped.”
Has anyone experienced this? It is non stop with many many apps. Also, my work email is not syncing since this happened.
Can someone please make a suggestions, besides factory reset?
Thank You

When it does that you have to play with the time and date footer example : Change timezones and don’t click automatic timezones
Max…is there a link for directions to use Odin to unroot my phone and also uninstall Samsung firmware?
I foolishly installed a Samsung firmware update on my Verizon s5.. My rooted apps do not work, and I cannot u root through super user. Any advice???
Would appreciate the feedback or a Link with directions. I cannot find Verizon s5 software on this site, BC I only saw towel root methods of root
Thank you
Todd
Also, since the Samsung update…my phone is buggy
Is it possible to unlock the gs5 for At&T free like the galaxy note
I have a s5 on Verizon, 4.4.4 I see towelroot is no longer a way to root. Do I have any option to root? If so what should I do.
Max,
Can you post unlock instructions (or tell me where to get them) for ATT Galaxy S5?
Thanx in advance,
Rich
To above threads about updated builds with the new OTA update (after june-july) the only way to root if your device already has the update, it’s to use this precise method on the XDA forums. http://forum.xda-developers.com/att-galaxy-s5/general/g900and3tong3keeprootota-zip-t2862299. This will work, I can attest to it. But you MUST follow directions to a T. Fairly simple process and give thanks to.the OP as well.
Hi. I’m new to this so I have a question about a Samsung live demo S5.
I have managed to get the demo video to stop playing but any picture I take keeps getting
Deleted.. it even wiped my memory card. From what I have read, these live demos have components missing on
The main board so it cannot be used as a phone.
Can anyone please advise a way forward to even get it working as a normal tab.
Thank you
