Hi!
First I want to thank the developers and Goldie and Hashcode. I could not thank us topics because I am newbie here.
My wife bought a Galaxy S5 of a person who did not disclose that it was the 900V version, and only possessed a few languages.
Tried my best to translate or to enable more languages, all without success.
I managed to do the following to resolve the problem, and it can serve other people from other languages that are at hand with this device, since the installed rom (AllianceRom) has support for multiple languages. The phone now appears like a 900F.
1) I root with https://towelroot.com/ towelroot
2) I copied this file from AllianceRom to the microSD card. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2716535
3) I installed the following safestrap this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2793891
4) I enabled a custom rom 1 using the default options.
5) I installed the rom usually at recovery.
6) I waited a few minutes, booted, and FINALLY got to choose the option Brazilian Portuguese.
caveats:
Do not know if it's bug or something the ROM installing a rom that is not the phone itself, but the device does not turn off. He gets the LED on the physical and lighted keys and switches itself off. I have to take off and put the battery back.
If I had to fix something, which will not do out of sheer laziness, would change the standard sizes of custom rom, because I never want to see the original rom from Verizon. The custom rom ended up with little virtual space.
Sorry for the english but blame Google Translator!
If you look at the alliance thread a lot of people are having problems installing on a rom slot I used the stock slot and no problems

Umm no I'm on the 900V?
I just read in step#4 that he put it on a rom slot I've read that people are having problems when they use a rom slot instead of the stock slot and thought that might help no clue? I was just suggesting that by installing it on the stock slot might fix the following problems.
4) I enabled a custom rom 1 using the default options.

I believe it's on page 13 of the alliance thread where they start talking about the rom slot issue.

Alright so I thought I would shed a little light on this. I saw this thread a few days ago and decided to test this for myself. I have a verizon version of the S5 and the 900f version of the rom installed fine in the stock rom slot. The only issue at first was the keyboard was chinese. I had to activate the English one and things were fine. All the customization stuff works. I've basically tested everything and have been using it constantly for a few days now. So it does work. I haven't tried any other 900f roms yet.

Yes!
My wife exchanged the Verizon Galaxy S5 black by a white version. This time I installed the rom slot: stock, and everything is working perfectly. :laugh::good:
I would like to thank you all, specially amonteiro, only a Brazilian would need insert Portuguese language inside a Verizon Galaxy S5.
I have successfully flash the rom at stock rom slot.
I have a stock T-MOBILE rom running on my g900V with no problems or patches. Even installed mobile odin

hey could you let me know how you did this? did you flash the stock rom via odin? Did it not fail when trying to write the aboot? im trying to get ANY stock rom whether it be G900A/I/T/F onto my G900P
bug??
I think it's the the phones themselves. I have tried many custom roms and they all have worked but when I us a rom slot that isn't stock my g900v won't shut off either and I have to take the battery out. I even put a non rooted rom on every rom slot and none would shutoff other than stock slot.

G900TUVU1DOB1 ROM on G900V
I switched to T-Mobile from Verizon a couple months ago and kept my G900V to use on the T-Mobile network. I kept having apn issues with the Verizon (KK and 5.0) based rom and decided to flash in recovery the Beanstown 4.4.2 G900T rom and had great success . If you want KK I can confirm that both Beanstown 4.4.2 G900T and G900F roms work on the G900V kernal if installed on recovery (wipe everything first). I now am using [ROM]ViSiON-X US TMO[Android L 5.0][G900TUVU1DOB1][02-18-15] rom flashed by the installation method for the Verizon Lollipop to Keep Root. Steps are full wipe in recovery, flash rom in recovery (CANNOT, I REPEAT CANNOT HAVE AROMA), flash Verizon OA8 5.0 with Odin, boot 10 min wait... I believe any stock lollipop rom can be flashed, probably anything without Aroma... I have working Wifi-Calling feature, working Volte, everything works but no Wanam yet bummer...
This is excellent.
Question: Were you on 4.4.4 when you installed AllianceROM?, because it now has the 5.0 version, so I am wondering if i should update to stock 5.0 first and then use your method?, or maybe on 5.0 the method won't work? (towelroot, safestrap)
Thanks
Update:
I went back to 4.4.4, rooted, flashed the rooted Lollipop, but now safestrap won't load because it's Kitkat safestrap, so I can't manage to flash Alliance, any solution?
Flash the 4.4.2 stock kernel in Odin. Safestrap only works on kk kernel, then flash back to 5.0. Same instructions used in the forum to upgrade to Verizon 5.0, you just need to switch back and forth with the Verizon version of kk and lollipop kernels through Odin to access Safestrap.
Edit: Flash the visionx tmobile rom, it's amazing.

It just need to be done with safestrap recovery (You can not use Odin)
As always make a full backup up of your current rom before flashing anything. Wipe the system, data and cache and flash away. I've flashed g900t, g900f and i think some g900a Roms work as well... Can't remember. You will probably have issues if you still have a Verizon Sim card. And yes, WiFi calling will be there

Hi Guys, I know I am an idiot for not following all those guides properly and now I think I have bricked my device?
Well I am in Australia and I have this G920P model on android 5.1.1 (Unrooted). All was working fine, I bought it second hand from someone, I believe this is a U.S Sprint version, But I had my Telstra sim working in it with 4g data without issues.
So I decided to root it (without backing up- I know my mistake) and then flash XtreStoLite rom (again without doing any backup of original Rom). After that My device did not detect my sim card and there is nothing in the IMEI section of the phone.
I tried to flash official G920P rom via odin which installed successfully, and it shows signal on my phone, let me make calls but No Data. Seems like it is not registering my phone on the network properly.
So what have I done to my phone? Any chances to recover it somehow?

Thanks for a quick response, I Installed a root browser app and yes I can see EFS folder there and there are a bunch of folders and files in the EFS folder. e.g bluetooth, carrier, cpk, Factoryapp, imei, lost+found.... and so on
Appreciate your help in advance.
Have you checked your apn setting ? Make sure your carriers apn settings are restored.
Ok. I'll look into it. Thanks.

Ok, I have entered my network's pan settings manually and I get can get the data working but it only picks up 3g not 4g. I can make calls too.
But every time i restart the phone it keeps on checking the network status and picks up the signal after 3-4 minutes.
Also its stuck on the Hands Free activation screen and keeps on re-trying it.
Any help would be appreciated if I can get my device back to a normal one. Any other ROM's should i try?
One more question guys, Is there any non - sprint ROM for this device G920P? Because when I bought the device, I had no sprint stuff on it. No boot up splash screen or anything. I did not make note of which build version was it on but it definitely said G920P and it was on android 5.1.1.
Thanks
You may find and extra menu by typing ##scrtn#. I wouldnt reset to defaut as those general would be sprints settings. Try to find your carriers apn settings online.You should be able to cancel the hands free default activation. Are you still rooted?

Stock or custom? If i find it i'll give you a notice asap.
I am now on a stock rooted rom. Would prefer to have a rooted rom. I have tried installing renegade but it get stuck on finding network and stuck in a loop.
Imei number is now showing up. But i wonder what version this phone was on when it was unrooted ? As everything was working perfect and i had no traces of sprint either.

So, I'm sure I'm probably doing something incredibly stupid..
I just got my Note 5 today. I've been trying to flash a custom ROM, TEKXodus first and then Dr Ketan's ROM. I managed to get them to boot up (at least Ketans, I've been trying so long today at this point I'm not sure if I ever got TEKXodus to load).
However, after finally getting in, my SIM card isn't being detected, neither is the baseband and IMEI. The phone registers as a N290I instead of N290T.
Did I flash something wrong? Would the wrong version of recovery cause this? Kernels?
This isn't my first time rooting and flashing ROMs, but I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong this time.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

You need to start from scratch (square one) and odin flash the
official stock Samsung N920T Tmobile Marshmallow 6.0 firmware
before doing anything else.
You can find the N920T Marshmallow 6.0 firmware here:
http://sammobile.com
Good luck,
Have a great day!
The phone came with Marshmallow already installed I believe. Either way I've currently got the stock TMobile installed now and am still having the same problem.

Perhaps your phone came with the wrong version of Marshmallow 6.0 if the phone was not new when you got it.
Either way I bet you still have NOT Odin flashed the full official stock samsung N920T 6.0 Marshmallow firmware
which can be found at http://sammobile.com
If you finally decide to do the above be sure to do a full wipe and factory data reset before you odin flash.
And forget about roms until you get the phone working properly with the stock N920T odin flash firmware.
Will definitely double check and retry that when I get off of work.
And that worked!
Thank you so much, I was working off a different MM build apparently. Probably would never have figured that out by myself.
I've searched the forums beforehand, so if someone finds something I missed, I apologize.
I have a Straight-Talk Samsung Galaxy S5.
Model Number from within Android says SM-S902L
Model Number on the battery cover says SM-G900P (B)
Currently running 4.4.2
I was wondering if someone would be able to show me how to root this, install a custom recovery, and tell me which roms I can install. The two different model numbers are confusing me.
EDIT: I rooted via CF Auto root using the sprint ktle .tar. Does this mean that most SM-G900P roms will work? I'm still confused on how to get from 4.4.2 to Android 5 or 6, if it's even possible.
Thank you very much.
i put a version of MOAR built for the vzw G900v on a 902L a few mos ago and its working fine. Just get TWRP on it and you can flash pretty much any snapdragon based ROM on it barring incompatible kernels and so forth
I got TWRP installed and it works fine, made sure the first thing I did was back everything up. It's just that, every post I've seen, the OP's Straight Talk S5 was just a rebranded Verizon S5, while mine is a rebranded Sprint S5. I just want to be certain flashing a Verizon ROM won't bork my "Sprint" phone. I can't find APN settings or anything. So I can't even copy them to change them later. So should I only try Sprint ROMs?
Tats the weird thing about the 902L, it says g900p on it, but i had to flash the vzw version of MOAR instead of the G900Ps version for it to work. But its seriously hard to bork your phone in such a manner that Odin cant fix it. I cant tell you how many times ive tried to install a ROM that was made for the g900p on my g900p and it failed, so, i just flashed MOAR in TWRP again and viola. Also, the backup thing isnt as vital as some make it seem if you have the tarball for the phone you own. Sure, it makes it easy to restore from an eff-up if you dont have your computer handy, but its just so unnecessary to make a backup of your original setup, just have a backup of a known to be fully working setup. Anyways, give vzw's MOAR a try. Its a great ROM and if anything goews wrong, just odin your phones original tarball back on it and all will be back to stock. You have to flash TWRP after the phones OG tarball tho
I don't have my phones OG tar. And is there a step I have to take before installing M.O.A.R or can I just jump from 4.x.x to 6.x.x?
im not aware of any 6.x.x ROMs that are compatible. MOAR is 5.0. Are you trying to get an app working that isnt compatible with 4.x.x? Like the car synch app? And to flash MOAR, just download it, wipe cache, dalvik and system in TWRP and install MOAR. Firstly tho, get the tarball from sammobile.com/firmwares. Its a super slow d/l, but youre gonna want to have it in case of a nuclear bomb restore necessity (not a likely scenario, but youre gonna want it. I have it and can host it for you on android file host later once i get home)
did you get the tarball for the 902L?
i ended up redownloading it from sammobile.com/firmwares. Took about 90 min because of their horrendous download speeds for non premium members, but i have 7 TB of storage, so im not wasting any space just having it since i have a G900P LoL (well, 2 of em along with the bovy of other phones i have for whatever reason i still keep them)
Thank you so much!, and Happy Thanksgiving if you celebrate. I've installed MOAR and the only thing I did was change the colors of the status bar icons and now all the phone does is boot to lockscreen then cycle back to boot animation. Something I did?

wipe all the appropriate caches before installing? and where did you get the version of MOAR youre using? Also happy thanksgiving to you too!
Ironically, I want to go back to 4.X.X for compatibility issues. Do I just wipe Dalvik and Cache and load OG tar through odin? I cant locate OG tar for 902L :/
Hi to everyone,
I have this unusual rom in my phone, as I have read through the internet, the XXU1 stands for a HongKong region.
The problem is, that there's nothing about such ROM on the internet, as if it never existed...
The phone was bought as new through online shop..
It has been unlocked through idoneapps. I use it in Europe. GSM and MOBILE data worked fine until I forced to update it through ODIN to G900PVPS3CPK1.
I was able to get the GSM to work, but the WCDMA network isn't available.. and the messages are split into pieces when I send them. As I've read, that is how they're sent in US.
I had tried many if not all of the roms, modems, kernels etc.. available in this SPRINT galaxy s5 thread..
but none gave me back the mobile network 4G.
So I was wondering if anyone has heard anything about such ROM (my original one) or where I could look for it? Maybe you have an idea what to do?
I searched for you. Here is the result.
https://samsung-firmware.org/download/Galaxy S5 (Snapdragon)/5998/ITV/G900FXXU1BOD3/G900FITV1BOD2/
This page explains it all.
I think you remembered a character wrong, it is an F, not a P. if it is really a P, and you are sure your device model is SM-G900P, then you must buy a new phone with a wrong ROM. I don't think that happens a lot. G900P never has a G900PXXU1BOD3 ROM. I think you flashed a WRONG ROM in the first place. DO NOT flash the ROM in this post until you confirm that your phone's Model Number(you can check this yourself in Settings, About device) is SM-G900F.
Thanks for your response. The sad thing is that the phone is G900P. I have attached the screenshot below. I have made a full TWRP recovery of the rom before doing any flashing. I am able to restore it all except the modem, as TWRP doesn't restore modems.
If I put a newer ROM bootloader and modem and restore the backup - I get a bootloop. If i put an older one I get no signal and the lower buttons arent working. Though I found BOG1 modem to work with my current firmware, but it's not fluent. The phone feels laggy and GPS isn't working...
So I am looking for a complete rom that could work in this phone without any recovery..
Can you find ok4?? Runs awesome for me, use Odin to flash it, you'll lose twrp but then Odin twrp

Sorry for the late reply, you didn't quote me, so I did not get the notification that you have replied.
It's very weird that your bought G900P with a G900F ROM. G900P doesn't support WCDMA network, I don't know if it's blocked by software. But the link in my last post indicates that your reseller flashed G900PXXU1BOD3 for you in order to make WCDMA work. I don't know if you can simply flash official G900PXXU1BOD3, because the system with your phone may be modified in the first place. If you simply want to restore original backup with modem, drop back to TWRP 3.0.2-1 or 3.0.2-0, 3.0.2-1 wouldn't mount external SD card so you have to move your backup to internal storage, I didn't test 3.0.2-0 but I assume it's the least buggy recovery for G900P so far.

My mistake,
I believe I had tried to restore backup with those versions of TWRP. They don't restore the modem part and give me an eror (can't remember exactly how it sounds), but as far as I have read, TWRP does not restore modem. It is impossible. So I can only flash it by ODIN, but there is no such G900PXXU1BOD3 modem on the internet..
I wonder, what if I would simply flash the G900FXXU1BOD3 or never rom with F symbol, could it work out for me? Maybe you have read about someone doing that? So far its my only hope...

I don't know if someone deliberately flash a stock G900F ROM to G900P, it would have most likely bricked the device. But I have noticed a slight difference between the 2 pictures you posted, first 1 says baseband version is G900PXXU1BOD3, idoneapps says it's G900PVPU3BOG1, I don't know which one is more accurate. I couldn't find a seperated modem file of G900FXXU1BOD3, yet there is a way to extract it yourself, simply change filename extension md5 to tar and open it with compression software. After flash modem, restore your backup.
Edit 1: Maybe you need to flash CSC also when you flash modem. But no rush, just try modem only first.

Hello,
Curiously I have the same problem, I bought the mobile by Ebay to a Hong Kong user and it comes rooted and with problems I do not know how to solve, from the beginning the camera did not focus until suddenly by magic, it focused.
Now I want to do a ROM restoration but I am not able to find that version since from what I see in the answers you have offered here seems to be "trick", have you found any solution? I would appreciate it if you told me so please.
Thank you.
A greeting.
