Galaxy S5 :: How To Install Firmware With TWRP Or Kies
Aug 26, 2015
I tried rooting my Galaxy S5 SM-G900T and after the root process with Odin and TWRP in the last step when I rebooted the phone it got stuck on a boot loop in the Samsung logo, so I had no choice but to do a Factory reset which even the OS got deleted in the process. I'm downloading the 5.1.1 firmware for my phone on my computer but I have questions on how to install it on my phone now, because obviously PC is not recognizing my phone or it is not letting me access the storage or sd card once connected. I have Kies 3 in my pc and TWRP on the phone. Which way can I install the firmware on my phone again?

I got my S2 a few months ago with O2 and I noticed that they had released the firmware for ICS. So i was forced to download the truly terrible Kies software, and after 24 hours of it not even connecting to my phone, I actually got it working. Of course, now, it wont even recognise that i can get ICS. I says I have the latest firmware -which I dont- and wont even let me search for a new one!

I''m trying to update the firmware on my Galaxy S2 (or GT-i9100) phone through Kies 2.1.1 on Windows 7 x64.. If finds the update available for the device and shows windows to update firmware. The new/latest update version available is PDA-KL1/PHONE:KL1/CSC:KL1(INU) After clicking to update, it downloads the update and goes into next step of "Preparing firmware update components", but then the process terminates after few seconds and nothing happens. The phone reconnects to kies s/w and again the firmware upgrade window is shown. So cannot update the firmware.

I was recently trying to root my galaxy s5 (At&T, G900A) on android lollipop and so first I wanted to downgrade to kitkat for root and decided to do so with odin. I followed some instructions online and when I tried to follow the instructions it kept failing in Odin; so I've decided not to go through with the root and wanted to get back to stock lollipop, but when I restart the phone I get the error message "firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies and try again." But when I plug my s5 in and open kies it always gives me the message "this device isn't supported by kies" and I have the newest version (Kies 3).

Kies (2.3.2.12064_9) stated that a firmware upgrade was available so I started the process. The files were downloaded and the connection to the phone established. All seemed to be going to plan. Then the phone dropped out of Kies and is trying to reconnect. The computer flashed up a message that the device was not recognised. The phone is still attached to the USB and has the android icon with downloading...do not turn off t Is the phone already disconnected..?What should I do to recover? Can I recover?

I've got the latest version of Kies 2.3.1.12044_18, and have checked for updates.I'm an UK O2 customer, but with a replacement handset that was provided by an insurance company rather than the original carrier supplied one.Kies says the current firmware version as:
PDA:K14 / PHONE:KI1 / CSC:KE1 (MTL)
And says this is the latest firmware.Which seems incorrect, as the phone is still on Gingerbread.

Trying to root my Galaxy s6 SM-G920I India version but no luck. Had to restore stock firmware thrice today. Every time I used ODIN 3.10.6 with Unibase or Unikernal it would say kernel is not SEAndroid enforcing and stick to a bootloop. If I use the CF auto root method it says Recovery is not SEAndroid enforcing and again bootloop.

I have a SM-G920F phone and I recently flashed the UK version of Lollipop to be able to participate in Marshmallow beta program. I didn't like it because it didn't support my gear VR and I went back to Lollipop. Now I have the UK version installed on my phone and I can't get rid of the Android 6.0 beta OTA software update notification.
So I would like to flash the Nordic countries firmware but my pc is broken and I don't have admin permissions for my pc at work. It there a way to flash it without a pc?

I did a quick search and didn't come up with anything I just got a galaxy s and am looking to unlock it.I'm trying to install Kies and it keeps aborting the install on step 4.No matter what options I try to choose, it gets to step 4 when it tries to download some more components, the progress bar goes up to 1% then it aborts itself.I've tried this on 3 different PCs (XP sp1 and sp3) to no avail.

Kies tells me I have a firmware upgrade - from the size of download it seems quite major - but it won't install.Initially I found Norton was blocking it and quite proudly telling me so. I ended up uninstalling Norton but having gone through all the steps and downloading the files my PC does not get past 0% on "Firmware upgrade progress" and the mobile just displays a little green android with the message "Downloading . . . Do not turn off target".

I am on a stock rooted Nexus 5 (with TWRP). I want to install a custom rom; however, I would like to do a clean install of the custom rom (making sure no files/settings of my previous installations are left if that makes sense). What's the best way to go about this? Does it mean I have to install both the custom rom and the recovery again in order to do a clean install?

I've read a little bit and it seems that there is a problem with Kies and the Samsung Galaxy. My wife has the Captivate. At best, I am able to connect via USB Mass Storage Mode by manually copying songs or pictures, but I am unable to do so with Windows 7 64bit. I tried with an XP Machine I get the same thing.
Fortunately, the Samsung has OS 2.2 installed. When 2.3 or 3.0 officially comes out, I won't be able to update the firmware.
Has anyone found a reliable solid workaround solution to be able to copy contacts and pics etc to Galaxy? Samsung support is pretty much useless.

I have tried accessing my SII with my Macbook Pro. Using Bluetooth did not work, the Mac said device not supported. I then installed Kies and tried via WIFI. Devices are recognised and they report a connection - then Kies immediately reports a disconnect.I then tried Kies via USB, the connecting symbol spins forever, no connection. Telling the SII to act as memory stick, however works. how I can make Kies talk with my SII?

Do I need to backup data in order to be able to revert back to my stock Rom? My understanding is that if I did a backup of the System, Boot, EFS, and Cache then I should be fine. Only gripe is that my Apps and app data will be lost. Is that correct?

So, I want to flash the latest version of TWRP to my 920i ... My only question is this..
- Flash the new TWRP 2.8.7.1 (the one for Android 5.1.1) with Odin
This one for the normal S6 models & This one for the Edge models
In Odin 3.10.6, which option do you select to flash TWRP? I'm assuming BL is for bootloader, CP is for modem - what do you use for the recovery? AP, CSC, or UMS. I don't want to select the wrong thing and brick my phone.
