How To Flash Repair Firmware G900t

You are using an out of date browser. It may not display this or other websites correctly.
You should upgrade or use an alternative browser.

Below is a collection of all known stock firmware for the T-mobile S5 (G900T). This thread provides links to firmwares, root methods, bootloader, modem, and recovery methods. This isn't a thread for support and any questions about any of the specific firmware, root methods, bootloader, modem, and recovery methods should be asked in the threads linked below. I am not responsible for what happens for any unfortunate problems that may occur while using any methods below. Please read any instructions carefully to avoid any mishaps!
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Links below are for Odin and MD5 if you need them.
(Use for 5.0+)>>Odin v3.10.6<< (Use for 5.0+)
Odin v3.09
MD5 reader
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Stock Firmwares: These are links directly to all the official stock firmwares for G900T. In other words, these are same files you would get if you downloaded straight from sammobile except you won't get the ridiculous download times of sammobile. Remember to double check MD5 to make sure you get full download and not a partial download so everything will run as smooth as possible. Also some say the fix for an invalid error when flashing can be fixed by renaming file to end in .tar. (Example would be to change firmware.tar.md5 to firmware.tar and flash that)
Instructions straight from sammobile
1) extract/unzip firmware file (should show as .tar)
2) download odin v3.09 or newer and extract
3) open odin
4) Reboot Phone in Download Mode (press and hold Home + Power + Volume Down buttons)
5) Connect phone and wait until you get a blue sign in Odin
6) Add the firmware file to AP / PDA
7) Make sure re-partition is NOT ticked and keep odin default settings
8) Click the start button, sit back and wait few minutes

Bootloader+Modem: This link takes you to the thread that has the Bootloader+Modem for all the S5 varients. Please read instructions carefully from this thread and download only the files that are specifically for the G900T. Also take a look at this thread if you are going to flash OB1. If you are having errors flashing the BL or modem, please rename the file WITHOUT the .md5 at the end of file name and leave it with just the .tar which has worked for some members.

Great guide. Thanks!

Just a suggestion for when you have a ton of free time and absolutely nothing to do, you might want to actually add the modem and bootloader downloads in this thread. That would be a wonderful thing.

Thanks.

Didn't take long. Let me know if there are other BL or modems you specifically want. I actually have free time this weekend for the first time in awhile.

You're the Man! Thanks.

Awesome post! If this keeps gets updated regularly and stickied, this would save a lot of people or at least me lots of time searching for the important stuff! :highfive:

I successfully rooted my G900T using the G900P/Mobile ODIN method from here: how-to-update-to-stock-rooted-ob1-5-0

I apologize for not providing links but I'm below the 10 post threshold.
Mods, I'm just trying to contribute but understand if you need to edit this.
Hope this is enough, if you'd like more please let me know.

My phone has the G900TUVU1CNK2 firmware. I would like to root, flash TWRP and then flash a 5.0 ROM.
1. Can this be done without tripping KNOX?
2. Do I need to update the modem or bootloader?

1. No. If you flash a custom recovery such as TWRP it trips Knox
2. It depends on the ROM, but when you move to 5.0 you should have 5.0 bootloader and modem, or you can have all kinds of problems if it even works at all. If you flash a stock 5.0 ROM it will update everything for you and then it is much easier to flash a custom ROM.

I'm going to flash an international ROM for my G900T. Do I need to flash the OB1 bootloader or modem first?

Help with restore from 5.0 vision x

Guy, i installed vision x 5.0 tmobile usa on my g900t and had too many issues.

From what I understand, you can only nand back to NK2 if you are on KK and not LP firmware. Someone correct me if I'm wrong :confused:

hi. Does the firmware for 5.0 contains boatloader and radio. Reason i ask cause i saw separate section for those. Thought firmware contains everything. Thanks

If you download the full firmware it does contain everything. The BL and modem you see for download is for those who want to exploit a root or some other reason. For the most part, you can just flash the full stock firmware and not have to worry about the rest unless you are trying to fix connection issues and/or root.

Thank you for the info. Appreciate it. Cheers

Thank you so much!

Just one problem. I just downloaded the latest modem file twice, I keep keep MD5 hash value is invalid everytime I attempt to flash with Odin.

Any ideas?

Not exactly sure why but searching around online, some say that changing the .md5 at the end of the file name helped them. But if that doesn't work I'm not sure. Hopefully a dev or someone sees this and knows what to do. If it does work though, let me know and I can put a note in.

Are you saying you should rename the .md5 extension or.completely remove it from the file name. And just try flash as a .tar?
