hi i tried rooting my samsung galaxy s5 model number g900w8. Hovewer , once i root the phone i get a message saying " factory mode is on , turning wifi off " . The phone then restarts .
I saw some other forums where they had commented about turning off the factory mode in the device via root explorer by writing a ON in the factorymodeapp file inside the efs folder and some talks about writing original firmware. Both these methods did not work for me.
Also if i try to open up the efs folder, i see that is empty. however use of *#06# still gives me the IMEI number.
can anyone help me here?
If you wish to Root the device, please review [How to] Root without triggering KNOX? 2nd Method, works for Fimware ANG2 and above If you have questions, you may post there.
If you wish to start again, you will need to reflash the Stock Firmware. Please review S5 Firmware Thread
If problem persist, please post in Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting so that the right exerts may be of help.

first of all, before i started this thread i have tried all solution over the internet and none worked. I believe that my s5 encounter this error is because of manual OS downgrading because lollipop randomly restarts my phone. I think my case is not as serious as others because i still have my IMEI number but the thing is my phone cant remember those wifi i had connected before. i have tried:
1) install twrp recovery and root my s5, then i used twrp to backup and restore my efs but the error is still there
2) start recovery mode and run ADB commands but everytime my s5 attaches ADB as DEVICE but not RECOVERY and im stuck here
3) use EFS professional to backup and restore EFS and error is still there too.
4) use kies to do emergency recovery and initialization and yet....still cannot mount efs.
anyone can help me with this? i would really appreciate it!

I have an S6 wich somehow messed up when trying to root.I am on 5.1.1 and saw a video on a website on how to root it.I dont know what I got wrong or if I was being cheated but Im soft bricked,bootlooping with 'recovery is not seandroid' on screen.Unfortunately I dont have USB-Debugging active.When I tried to flash on stock rom (5.1.1 stock) with odin,it gets stuck on "Nand write started" and doesnt do anything else.I have tried flashing tons of things but none of them seem to get past the "Nand" phase.I can get to download mode but not on recovery. :crying: Can someone please help ?

hello,
i have a problem with my s6 edge since last week.
i gave my phone to someone and when i got it back the sim card was not working,(i made some research and i noticed that the Efs was damaged). i then tried to use Kies to restore the phone. After the restoration (Android 6.0.1) , the phone tried to boot and i got this error: " dm-verity verification failed, need to check DRK first... ". i then began my research again and i founded one solution on youtube " a file that i had to flash via odin " . I then decided to try it out , and when i tried it failed, i receive that error: " Custom binary blocked by FRP Lock " . Now i have a phone that i can not use, please help me .
thank you
note: the phone was rooted
