Help Flashing Firmware

[singingsister]

Hi,

I decided after months of deliberating to see what rooting my phone was like.

I started having problems with the phone restarting of its own accord so I removed the root and factory reset the device.

However the problem still remains. I've tried all manor of things from searching online but the only thing seems to be flashing the firmware.

I've looked for the firmware (can't get it from Samsung) and when I try to find my PDA and CSC on my phone I get an error message, which I presume is related to the root.

I'm worried about taking it into a Samsung shop because the root will have invalidated the warranty.

So, what do I do?

Thank you for your post.

There are currently 40 different models of the Samsung Galaxy S5 and over 3,000 different stock Samsung firmware versions, worldwide, covering 6 different Android platforms, Android 4.4.2, Android 4.4.4, Android 5.0, Android 5.0.1, Android 5.0.2 and Android 5.1.1. Not all issues will affect all models or firmware releases and your answers to the following questions will help in the forum's answers to your specific query.

#1. Could you post your Model number and Android version...

To locate these, go to...

Settings > More > About device > Model number and Android version

This will give you the model of Samsung Galaxy S5 that you have and which Android version you are on.


#2. Your current Firmware, (not just Baseband), version .

To locate your current firmware version, go to the stock, Samsung, dial pad and type in...

*#1234#

This will give you your, "Version", details in full, usually 3 lines of information, AP: CP: CSC:, which may all be relevant.

*** If code *#1234# has been disabled on your firmware, you can download and install, free from the Play Store, Phone Info and it will give you, under Firmware Info... PDA, Baseband, CSC, versions.


Thanks. The above helps us to help you and hopefully someone will be able to reply to you shortly.
