What will we be missing with locked bootloader? - Sprint Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

If sprints variant has a locked bootloader, that means:
No traditional recovery (only safestrap recovery)
No custom kernels
No aosp ROMs
Till now I have not heard of a way to get around the locked bootloader on Samsung devices, I love my s4 and I was thinking of getting s5 but I might go for one m8 this time.

If you're able to root, will we be able to still flash mods? I need native hotspot.

The international version was already rooted. The answer to your question is yes. Just depends on Dev support for the Sprint S5.
Also if you "need" hotspot you'd pay for it. You just want it.

You will definitely be able to root and ROM this hon (as well as kernels, mods, themes, etc..), just a matter of time and seeing the Dev support for the Sprint S5. This is why I am waiting a month or so to get my S5!

Root, touchwiz based rom, and mods yes, but you will not be able to load different kernels
I took the following from note 3 forum (bootlocked model)
"The AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 3 ships with a locked bootloader which means that as of right now AT&T Note 3 users only have the ability to flash Custom ROM's & Mod’s using @Hashcode’s Safestrap recovery – KERNEL FLASHING is not possible!
what types of ROMs are compatible?
Because of the locked bootloader on the AT&T Note 3, only Samsung TouchWiz based Custom ROM’s are able to be flashed to the AT&T Note 3.
Custom ROMs based on the Android Open Source Project (AOSP) such as CyanogenMOD, Paranoid Android, Omni, etc cannot be flashed. This is due to the inability to flash custom kernels using Safestrap Recovery"

Thumbs way up. I was wondering when a CLEAN ge rom was going to hit. Everyone has their own version of the GE ROM with their own little "fixes" and signatures all over the meta data.
Now, with that said, will this actually make our AT&T GS4 phones exact replicas of GE? As in, OTA pushed from the settings menu?

I too am awaiting to convert my 32GB i337 into the GT-i9505G. As if purchased right from Google's little play ground.:cyclops:
I wish we had the availability of whatever the OEM uses when the phones are coming off the assembly line. Hardware is identical, and forks pretty much to be flashed in either direction, then they slap some identifying bar codes on them.
ERASE i337, and install i9505G, partitioned corrections and all.
It is flasheable on a i9505 ?
LOLWUT they completely removed se linux from the kernel
Might have to put linux back on this beast and see whats up

Fully flash-able with i337
Hello, just wondering if this is fully flash-able with the att i337? I know its probably a dumb question just want to make sure. I would like to thank all the devs for developing roms and kernels and such, I got into flashing roms when the evo came out and ever since then always had to have the top android phone out there. since the evo iv had the sensation, galaxy s 4g, galaxy s2, s3, note, note 2 and s4 the only reason im asking this question is because (htc set aside) this is the first galaxy that ive had that had locked bootloader (i believe) and every so often when flashing a rom i get a Kernel source error so i just end up flashing a Ktoonez kernel and 99% of the time fixes the problem. im using twrpr recovery and would like to use CWM but do wanna lose my back ups from previous roms, again, sorry for going on and on and really do appreciate all the devs work. Ive had an xda account for a while but didnt post much so sorry for having 2 questions in one also would appreciate it if someone could be so kind as to point me in the right direction where i could donate to the devs.
thanks
:good:

Interesting. AMFD modem. I wonder if the modem will be flashable since it seems a newer revision than AMF3 on regular SGH-I337's.
Hopefully the full dump will help in researching work arounds for the locked bootloader.

Exactly. AMF3 is currently the latest official modem from AT&T/Samsung for I337. The Modem in this is AMFD, which by the numbering scheme seems newer. Compatible: No idea but newer it seems.

Will you be rooting the device?
Will you be installing CWM?

I'm more interested in the PAC versions as it seems to be my ROM of choice because of the custom dpi settings.
Agreed though there is a lot more stuff you can do to CM, only thing that might be missing will the Pen Stuff (I do use it you know), but i've seen devs produce some amazing stuff so quite looking forward to that.

Yes, CM Rom will required a custom recovery/bootloader like CWM or TWRP which will trip Knox counter.

You are not alone.
But I'm prepared to live with the consequences. After all I wanted this device so bad, I couldn't have imagined not to root it and there's no other device out there that I could have gone with.
I hope Samsung will not shoot herself in the leg though. I am the minority here and you don't want to piss your customer base off. Especially the loyal one.

On the CM Blog they stated that they are working on getting CM to the Note 3, but that it isn't quite ready for nightlies yet. But I'm happy because at least we know it's coming.
I will flash this and finally lose my knox warranty for it. Just will wait till its somewhat stable enough
Only thing I hope and pray they work on is the camera.

Don't Install 5.1.1 YET!!! Understand it first

CAUTION with 5.1.1 Update​G925PVPU2B0F7​I've been spending some time reading T-mobiles issues with the update. This isn't a super new conversation, but is probably new to many Sprint users. The update appears have rollback protection, which effects both kernel and bootloader from what they are saying... Which I find slightly confusing since I didn't think that their was a locked bootloader on the US versions (maybe someone can assist with that)
Figured we could start the conversation early for Custom Root/Recovery/etc. users, so that we may save some of us some trouble with Soft/Hard brinks in the next week or so.​
This is the thread I've been looking at.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/tmobile-galaxy-s6-edge/general/psa-odin-5-1-1-t3136151
EDIT:
NO, the bootloader is not locked with the 5.1.1 update.
Rather, "Factory Reset Protection" (an Android thing - not a Samsung thing!) is now an option, which allows you to lock the bootloader yourself, protecting your device from someone installing a custom recovery, wiping your device and making it their own. It makes the device somewhat less valuable, and therefore (supposedly) less likely to be stolen.
The 5.1.1 upgrade looks to be a "permanent" upgrade, meaning we're not able to revert back to 5.0.2 kernels and recoveries.
So, I would suggest to sit tight with your current set up. In order to customize our devices we will need to wait for:
A) Root for 5.1.1
-Root has been achived: http://forum.xda-developers.com/spr...elopment/5-1-1-stock-of7-kernel-root-t3153396
B) Samsung to post the source code for the new kernel.
C) Custom Recovery
-Recovery has been achived:
Once we have the above, we can get back to modding our devices.
If I'm wrong, someone please correct me.
Interesting article, I remember several other older Samsung devices where you could not downgrade bootloaders and modems. IE Galaxy S3, note 3, s5. But there was still root, Roms and the ability to flash kernels. Hopefully there's no need to go back anyway. The kernel thing is something new so I may hold off on upgrading. Thanks for the info

This is my first Samsung, so the whole root recovery process was almost too smooth since I've been on the HTC side for 5 years. Unlocking bootloaders, S-off and requesting tokens to push.. Ugh, as must as I likes HTC and Sense, that sucked.
I think I'm holding off as well, untill Sac23/ Ram9200 might have spare time to look over the update first and make sense of it all and could at least get it to where V.2 is right now. But it sounds like the Kernel could be our hold up, without Hybridmax's current support.

Yea but based off of my years of experience and having Samsung devices, I'm pretty sure that someone will find a way moving forward, but going back probably won't happen.

Q&A for Galaxy Core Prime SM-G360T1 Root?
Some developers prefer that questions remain separate from their main development thread to help keep things organized. Placing your question within this thread will increase its chances of being answered by a member of the community or by the developer.
Before posting, please use the forum search and read through the discussion thread for Galaxy Core Prime SM-G360T1 Root?. If you can't find an answer, post it here, being sure to give as much information as possible (firmware version, steps to reproduce, logcat if available) so that you can get help.
Thanks for understanding and for helping to keep XDA neat and tidy!
root for SM-G360T1
There is a developer option to allow for the bootloader to be unlocked. Would that help get this phone rooted? I desperately need a root for this phone.
yeay me too! any updates?

I think that option's only there for the Samsung engineers to update the bootloader and for those who already have root unfortunately, as any changes made to the bootloader without root result in an unbootable device. :/

I would think the engineer bootloader would be unlocked so you could flash anything, not that it really matters I guess though as we'll likely never see one. I did already make an selinux permissive kernel with superuser and edited init file too that I think should've rooted the device. I even tried packing it into an ODIN file and also a flashable zip, but it doesn't let you boot into Android after flashing a custom anything from recovery or ODIN. I'm with you on the "who cares if we void the warranty" thing for sure. Guess I just wanted to make sure I could still carrier unlock it later with a tripped KNOX, as Samsung said I have to wait 90 days before I can do this. Also, I'm sure you already know that there is an official TWRP for the CORE PRIME already: https://twrp.me/devices/samsunggalaxycoreprimequalcomm.html I've been looking into how to port it though specifically for the SM-G360T1 lately, as pretty much everyone has reported it as non-functional. I figure if I can get a working custom recovery then, in theory, testing should be a breeze.
Well samsung of course gives Lil support for there low end phones no lollipop 5.1.1 source codes for any of the variants while custom recovery will be great I think without a custom kernel will cause boot loop

I hear ya. Bootloop's not really a big deal anymore though, which is good news for testing. If you get caught in a bootloop just flash my ODIN boot file...or, of course, if you were flashing a recovery when it happened, then just flash the ODIN recovery file. Works like a charm!

Well I figured out why the other TWRP file isn't working for people. Looks like someone just compiled it directly from the generic source for all Core Prime phones without really making any changes. Also looks like they didn't add touch screen support, which is why you can't do anything with it. Made some changes to customize it a bit and add touch, but looks like there may be quite a bit more to be done. Have to start from scratch and work from source as the other TWRP is no good. Have to go out of town though today, so can't do it right now.

Awesome! Yes. We really need a custom "deodexed" rom to be made actually, as Samsung phones require this in order to run the Xposed framework.
Is there any way to remove the Security Warning that continues to pop up after root?

Yes. That was the first question I had too. If you haven't already after root, download SuperSU from the play store and open it at least once. Then, download a root browser and use it to go to the "/system/app" folder. Delete the entire folder in there called "SecurityLogAgent". Make sure to give the browser root permission whenever SuperSU prompts you. After that the security message will not appear.

I just bought a T-mobile Note 5 so i would LOVE to get rid of all the bloatware they include, besides i kind of hate having boot up logos in my phone, i have used Canadian FW in my S4 so i guess this should just as good, im still downloading the file, would you please let me know how to flash this one? the usual Odin would work just fine? Thanks in advance.

Flash in twrp as per usual assuming you're rooted and what not. Also I'm on T-mobile so I flashed SkyHigh's kernel right after the rom then booted up - just to be doubly sure.

I'm not a big fan of tweaked kernels unless they are packaged with the rom but so question,
Do I have to install skyhigh with this rom or can i run it flat out of the box and be fine? I'm also running TmoUS variant

Yes its fine if you dont install it will keep the kernel you had before insalling rom but if yes you should install it again reason is for example for arter kernel it disables knox completely like knox libs and stuff which i cannot delete in rom zip coz i think something is depending on these libs because i got bootloop when i deleted these so
i hope it will make sense
Cheers

Finally got a chance to flash this baby. Thanks again for making this rom you really did a good job on this one. Truly debloated rom??
Im having some extrange situation with my phone, whenever i make or receive a call it moves from LTE to H+ network, and every time its like people have a hard time listening me for a few seconds, probably due to the network switching, is this normal? Can i force/enable to use LTE network for voice as well? Thanks in advance.

Im assuming, since it's a Canadian base, like WiFi calling, there probably isn't VoLTE either. But just my guess.
Thanks for the reply, that might be the issue with the Note 5 running Canadian FW, but i hope there might be a workaround this.
Not the same device, but i was running official 5.0.1 canadian base on my S4 and didnt had the same behavior switching networks.
