Samsung Rugby Pro (SGH-I547) Super Thread - Android General

Welcome to the Samsung Rugby Pro (SGH-I547) Super Thread
As a continuation of my work on the Rugby Smart I'm pleased to present Rugby Pro super thread. Enjoy and happy hacking.
If you create a support thread related to items in this super or for more generalized help, please PM me as a heads up. I've been doing a lot of work on getting things going for the device and can likely provide some amount of help.

I am not responsible for anything bad that comes to your device when using the information posted in this thread. Everything here is dangerous, may cause a brick, will void a warranty and has the potential to just plain wreak havoc. Do not complain you followed my instructions and met with a dead device. Consider yourself warned
I've tested to the best of my ability, but I am one person with one device, I cannot catch all potential failure modes. If you find a problem and a fix, or have information that should be added let me know and I will update the necessary information.
Big thanks to Dees_Troy for making the SGH-I547 an official TWRP device.
Thanks to childrenofthehorn for help with getting some things up and going

That could be it. Can you post the updater script?
Also, checkout the update.zip below. If you poke through the zip it will show you some tricks on how to write an img file out to a raw partition. The update is something another dev and I put together for updating the modem of a device. Works the same as the boot.img.

If there is a link to the rooted kernel (and stock kernel) available I'll happily give it a shot and contribute my feedback. Great job and thanks!
de3rp im an idiot, forgot the file link
its up now
When I get home I'll boot into windows and give it a go. I have read that the linux port of Odin ca n be problematic.
Sent from my SCH-R680 using xda app-developers app
Update:
I tried it and the rooted kernel puts my SCH-R680 into a boot loop. replacing it with the stock kernel file unbricked the phone.
I hate to be the guy that brings a post back from the dead but has anyone else tried this or found a way to make it work?..
My girlfriend has a Repp and it needs a little love in the form of a bloatware enema.
honetsly dont remember if i updated teh files here or not. its working over here though

I - How to Root: GT-I9500/I9505​​​​Flashing instructions:
Use one of the Pre-Rooted Official ROM's and keep it clean from the beginning... or
1. Install KIES or USB drivers from here
2. Download and run Odin from here (v.3.04 is recomended)
3. Make sure that ONLY AutoReboot & F.Reset Time is ticked in Odin options
4. Download and extract CF-AutoRoot: CF-AR for GT-I9500 or CF-AR for GT-I9505
5. Load extracted file (.tar.MD5) as PDA in Odin.
6. Turn OFF your phone, Press&Hold POWER+HOME+VOL_DOWN buttons until phone boot into Download/Odin Mode
7. Connect phone to the computer and WAIT for the drivers to be installed. You will see blue or yellow indicator in left top corner of Odin, with phone connected to port: COM:x

9. Unplug the cable and WAIT, phone will reboot into recovery with RED ANDROID LOGO where root will be applied and Stock Recovery restored.
10. Test it please, go to APPS and look for SuperSU.apk, if it's NOT there, install it from PlayStore and enjoy!!​
II - How to reset Binary Counter and Device Status back to OFFICIAL:​​​​Install and run Chainfire's TRIANGLE AWAY (I9505 ONLY, I9500 is NOT SUPPORTED YET)
NOTE: There is an option "System modified workaround", please tick this and restart your phone. Device Status should be back to OFFICIAL!! Use it with caution!!
Next few steps are ONLY for people who couldn't reset it with Triangle Away...
1. Reboot into Download Mode and check if Binary & System are OFFICIAL.
2. Only if the BINARY Status is still Custom, download and extract OFFICIAL STATUS MOD(.tar.md5): GT-I9500 or GT-I9505 - open in Odin as PDA (password: djembey2013)

Every other person on XDA should have a nickname RootManiac
It's stable and Official. Only one thing is weird, if you try to set "write permissions" to the "system" in file manager, the phone won't let you do it and it'll reboot automatically... New SEAndroid feature...
Other than that, ALL OK, I'm using quite few apps with root access and all of them works fine, including restoring apps and data..
enjoy and report any issues
Sorry, but what does this do, does it root your device?
If you do this you don't have to do CF-Auto-Root?
Or, just when necessary, revert back to stock ROM?
And can someone explain to me what's Odin? I came from One XL.
After doing this, you still have to use CF-Auto-Root right?
Because this isn't permanent is it? Meaning you can't flash other ROMs etc unless you do CF Auto-Root?

Hi, thanks for this, but I've seen that you just posted German and UK versions, I'm from Spain, I could use for example the UK Rom?
Thanks!
EDIT: Solved XD I now understand that I just need to change the CSC to my region... With the app you said, or by using the Command: *#272*IMEI# so that you can do it manually from the phone without the need of the up, I tried it now and works perfectly thanks again! (You could put the info of the command in your first post, someone might want to know it!)

cwm 6.0.3.3 is out for I9505

hey all, as the title states. cwm 6.0.3.3 is now available to flash through rom manager. just flashed a few new zip's and did a backup and restore without issues. I thought I would create this topic due to the fact there are so many questions floating around about different and stable recovery's for this model. happy flashing!
Thx.
Used SGS4 Flasher to flash it.
Everything works.

Available through rom manager? Bull. I get the "blah blah unsupported blah blah" message.
Downloaded manually from http://www.clockworkmod.com/rommanager
It shows 'ClockworkMod 6.0.3.3' (after restart) and it works.
Hi,
I just bought ClockworkMod ROM Manger in the google store, simply to support the great work done.
But now I'm a little disapointed, the 6.0.3.3. supported for my I9505 is not in there, even if it is an official release (not as touch nor normal)
and
I can not find things like the cyanogen mod stuff in the ROMs area like I was used to even in the freeware for my former I9100 before.
Is the support/update within this tool so slow or even have you stopped updating the content of the ROM Manager?!
As I said I'm a bit disapointed now!
Around 5€ for that is a bit much then, isn't it?!
CWM touch you can get for free in here and the reboot to download/recovery can be set by a menue update which can be flushed.
So whats the tool then good for and worth 5€?!

You don't even need a modding to directly reboot to recovery or download mode: simply install this free app from the Google Play (root needed):

[How-To] Update to G900V_OC4 - 5.0 and KeepRoot (3/30/2015)

**You can begin the following process from any Build/ROM but you must already have Root Access**
**Required** FlashFire - Play BETA - PREVIEW
1. Join the G+ community using the same Google account as you're using for Play on your phone/tablet Here.
2. Sign up to receive the BETA versions from Play Here.
- Use the link provided after sign-up to download the app.
**Caution!** The following process is only for the G900V Verizon S5 variant. Use on any other device may result in a hardbrick!
Download:
- G900V_OC4_Stock_Rooted_ROM
- G900V_OC4_Stock_DeOdexed_ROM
Set your screen timeout setting to 10 mins before beginning!
1. Place the ROM onto your device (use either internal or ext-sdcard).
2. Open the FlashFire app and "Agree" to the Terms and Conditions.
3. Press "(+)" twice to bring up the "Actions" menu.
4. Select "Flash Zip or OTA" and locate and select the ROM. Leave "Auto-mount" unchecked under the "Options" menu and press the checkmark to continue.
5. From the main menu Uncheck all options under "EverRoot" and use default "Reboot" setting.
6. Last, press the lightning bolt then "Ok" to begin the flash .
The screen will turn black then display the contents of your system before beginning the flash. FlashFire will pause for about 1 minute while flashing the "system" partition. Once complete your device will reboot and pause on the Verizon splash screen for 1 - 2 minutes (10 - 15 mins for DeOdexed version) before completely rebooting. Done!
Tip: for blazing fast speed turn off animations from Developer Options and reboot!
Known Issues:
- None!
Optional - Enable Native Tethering:
- G900V_OC4_TetherAddOn (Flash using FlashFire's "Flash zip or ota" option).
Notes:
1. The above process will not affect your Knox Warranty Flag.
2. The process will update your Modem, Non-hlos, System, Kernel, Stock Recovery, and Bootloader to OC4.
3. No need to wipe prior to flashing, the ROM will automatically perform a factory data reset. If you prefer not to wipe User Data replace the Updater-Script in the ROM's META-INF/com/google/android folder with the version attached to this post (remove ".txt" extension before placing in folder). Bear in mind that carrying over incompatible User Data from a prior Android version may cause issues.
4. If you do not already have root access (or to unbrick) you must flash the G900VVRU1ANCG_Full_Odin.tar (flash in Odin's PDA slot(AP in Odin v3.09+)), root with Towelroot (this version does not require internet access), then proceed with the above process.
5. To learn more about FlashFire's capabilities on locked bootloader devices see here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=60070810&postcount=2

Let's just say the initial 5.0 release had a few bugs. Let's hope this release works better.
Thanks. I did your previous update with this method, and it worked great. Can you give the steps that are needed to get to where you need to be to now install this update? I think I know, but I'm not sure. Also, what about apps and settings? It does not seem they are preserved. It looks like the previous write up has been edited and no longer includes these steps. I had no problems with this part. Is it still an option to do that? Thanks for the awesome work!
update
So this will work fine updating if on rooted 0A8?
I would assume we could do a data backup, then restore data after flashing is done
So there's no need to flash a firmware or kernel in Odin after flashing the rom? Are we still going to be on 0A8 baseband? Or should we flash the OC4 kernel?

Correct, all necessary OC4 partitions including the kernel, modem, etc are included in the ROM.

I would assume we could do a data backup, then restore data after flashing is done

Only recommended if your Data backup is from 5.0. Those updating from 4.4 should not restore Data for compatibility reasons.

Thanks. I did your previous update with this method, and it worked great. Can you give the steps that are needed to get to where you need to be to now install this update? I think I know, but I'm not sure. Also, what about apps and settings? It does not seem they are preserved. It looks like the previous write up has been edited and no longer includes these steps. I had no problems with this part. Is it still an option to do that? Thanks for the awesome work!

No worries, good luck with SS.
Also fyi.....there is a guy in the N900V forum that has developed a safestrap replacement called multisystem. He is waiting for 5.0 before releasing and claims it will work on 5.0. If so, it can likely be easily ported to the S5.
Got it. I did see that. I guess it is just that simple. I thought there might be a little more detail needed, but I will give it a shot. Hopefully safestrap comes to lollipop one day to make it a little easier!

After flashing the ROM you can just reboot, no need to re-flash the OC4 kernel since the new ROM already flashed it.
Does anyone know if the Alarm clock works on silent now? I think they got rid of the interruption settings did they not?
I have run into a problem i can't figure out. When i try to run safestrap it just wont boot into it when i boot from the app. Have tried it many times. Thinking back wasn't safestrap broken when you are on 5.0? I went from kit kat, rooted and did the keep root tutorial to have it in 5.0. Not really sure what to do.

Safe-strap doesn't work on 5.0. You have to flash G900V_NK2_Stock_Kernel to access it.

HOW TO ROOT THE NOTE 5 .......
1st Thing to do... make sure you have enabled developer mode, click OEM unlock to On .... allow USB debugging, and allow unknown sources
1. Download Odin 3.10.7 attached D/L in the OP ...Also.... make sure you have Samsung drivers loaded on your computer
2. Down TWRP Alpha920T 2.8.7.1 also in a tar here : https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24052804347802037
3. Download the Noble Root tar from here: ...Special thanks to MANH-IT for this .............. https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24052804347802315
4. Go in to Download Mode and then open up Odin attach the phone then Flash The Noble Root, then Reboot
Then Get the Supersu apk and you Flash that well It is an attached to this OP
and the TWRP if you want it (use Odin and the one I linked to Only) that after it reboots ... If it asks to update the binary su it's ok to do that.
*** One interesting thing I discovered if your TWRP is not recognizing, I found an easy fix is to download the one from the play store Then just open it to allow give it root privileges... then close ...... but do not use the play store version It seems sometimes the phone does not recognize the TWRP that is Odin flashed. This was the Fix I found solved the root recognition issue. Remember, still Only use vol-up/home/pwr method to get into TWRP
Thanks to Manh_IT ... JThrasher47, Charlieb620, Mocsab and any others I forgot to mention in helping us get root... We got it........ :fingers-crossed:

Thanks ~~~ oka1
Glad I could help -
Eagerly waiting ROOT - I know it probably won't happen until Source Code is released -that happened in a few weeks on the S6 - not too bad - gives me time to get 'acquainted' with this phone - despite the nay sayers - I really think this is a pretty amazing device. Could it be better? What couldn't! The old SD Card and Removable Battery argument - but I got used to it on the S6 and I won't really miss them here on the Note 5 - MICRO OTG Storage device for backukps - and there are ways to mimic pulling the battery - so there are ways to get around without missing those things too much.
I saw that sammobile has the stock firmware posted already... that's a good sign. I've been hostage to att for soon long, they barely ever post their firmware.

Can you please elaborate on the mimicking the battery pull part of your post? Thanks in advance.

Several different ways to try - not exactly the same as pulling the battery - but the effect is about the same...
1) just hold power until phone turns off - then restart. If that doesn't work go to 2 -
2) Hold Power and Volume Down (takes a few seconds - up to 10 I think) and the device will reset.
3) Hold power, home and volume up - Samsung logo appears - continue to hold - Samsung logo goes black and capacitive buttons flash three times - release - phone goes to recovery - then choose option - reboot or whatever. This is tricky and sometimes It doesn't work for me - timing is everything - if it doesn't work, go to option 4,
4) Hold power, volume down and home, when screen goes dark, switch to volume up, power and home - wait until Samsung logo appears - continue holding - when screen goes dark or when capacitive buttons at bottom of phone flash three times then release - it goes into recovery - then you can reboot -
It is not as easy as pulling the battery - but the effect is the same -
@mocsab- You said using OTG for backups, that works for TWRP? Or do transfer them when needed? TIA.

Yes, it works great in TWRP - once we get TWRP that is - I used it all the time to create and Store NANDROIDS on - and for other storage that I don't need right away - all the time. It is a great alternative to having an EXT SD Card.
I didn't know that was possible, that's awesome to hear. Relieves a lot of stress for storage. Thank you!!

wait is the note 5 rooted already?
any guides? i saw TekHD thread but didn't really get it lol
Not yet...but I'm sure it's coming.

Will this root the Canadian version as well? I hope so as the Tmobile one worked for the note 4
The op didn't talk about flashing the kernel? I thought that was the first step?
Cannot D/L the Stock tar firmware..Media Fire deem that it's "Dangerous"

all depends on what build is the Canadian version is, usually you can but you need to check ......... make sure you also have the Stock tar before flashing in case of you need it

Hey should I be on 3.10.7 or 3.07...? 3.10 failed and it also looks nothing like your picture. I have AP, BL tabs etc. I know I should have OEM unlocked but should I also have USB debugging checked off? Also, which is the most updated kernel...i see 3 versions. Oh I'm running Windows 10 if that helps. Any help would be appreciated.
3.10.7 or 3.10.6
