Learn How to Root Galaxy S5 and Install Custom ROMs!
For those of you who’ve never installed a custom ROM before, here’s a step-by-step tutorial on how to install a custom ROM on a rooted Galaxy S5.
Before we begin, you will need a rooted Galaxy S5 with CWM or TWRP recovery installed. If you have not done this, see How to Root Galaxy S5! first.
For those of you who need to fix “firmware encountered” error or you simply want to re-install stock firmware on your Galaxy S5, you can easily do so using ODIN and stock firmware tar.md5 file.
This will get your Galaxy S5 completely back to 100% stock and unrooted. This can also be very useful if you are returning your Galaxy S5 to the store for warranty purposes or you want to unroot your phone completely.
If you have not used a rooted Galaxy S5 before, you probably want to read the rest of this tutorial on how to backup and restore ROM on your S5.
What is a ROM backup?A ROM backup consists of everything on your phone, your whole OS along with all of your settings, apps, app data, and everything else except the contents of your personal files such as videos, photos, and others. Backing up a ROM means you are making an exact 100% copy of your current OS. Whether you are running stock ROM or CyanogenMod11, backing up ROM will backup your current ROM. Think of it as System Backup for Windows or TimeMachine for OSX.
