Help with G870A! - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5

hi i asking for some guidance here. Anyone with odin flash file with lollipop please give a link. i have a g870a which originally had Android version: 5.1.1 Baseband version: G870AUCU2COJ3 on it but then someone flashed G870AUCU1ANE4 4.4.2 on the phone and now you can hear the phone starting up but the screen just shows lots of dots in various colors. there is no image just dots to full the screen. so i cant do much with the phone cause i cant see whats going on from the screen. please some assistance will be greatly appreciated.
i tried sideload but i keep getting this error:
C:\>adb devices
List of devices attached
* daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 *
* daemon started successfully *
59fa9633 sideload
C:\>adb sideload c:\update.zip
loading: 'c:\update.zip'
* failed to write data 'protocol fault (couldn't read status): Invalid argument'
*
i also want to mention that you can hear the phone starting up and i am able to get into recovery and sideload by guessing the options.

do i need gold card to root if my phone is not branded ?

I'm asking coz I failed to create a gold card more than 10th times and I'm sure I followed the steps carefully buy no Luke .
What's going wrong with the goldcard like?
Have you tried using another SD?
Yes you need it.
I've a NoBrand Legend and tryed, with no success, to root it until I've created in the right way the GoldCard.
If yours does'nt work change the sd!!!
Changing mine I did goal!!!!
this is somewhat relevant,
i have an unbranded generic that was failing so ill try with a gold card so ty for that but as a side note i assume that OTA updates will work again just buy simply flashing the phone with stock generic firmware correct ?

2) Phone kept working for a while (My wife tells me)
3) I opened phone up... blew it out with COmpressed air, and sat the PIECES in Rice for days....

5) I CAN Boot to the FastBoot or HBOOT menus and phone stays on just fine...
a) If I switch to FastBoot (Vol Up) when USB is connected.. Phoe says FastBoot USB...
i) I WAS able to run the stock Sprint RUU to "Update" the phone....
but it does NOT solve my boot issue..... Something is still missing.....
Anybody have any ideas? I woudl like to get her two week old Hero working....

The stock RUU would put all the necessary things back to default so i dont think it could be fixed by pushing/pulling anything. Its sounds like when the phone is starting to boot its just simply not able to. It could be do to a messed up hardware that got wet. Something thats necessary for the phone to boot, but not necessary for it to sit in recovery or during RUU.
Have you tried rooting the phone? Maybe if you can get it to boot far enough you could run "adb logcat" and see whats keeping it from booting.
But if you follow the OC threads at all. Some phones simply cant handle the speeds, so it puts it in a bootloop (using OC as example). Maybe something similar is happening here on a hardware level, its just not able to run so its returning to the black screen.
One more thing... Try to use the battery from the good hero in the messed up one. That has solved my problems many times my phones got wet. The battery is usually the first thing to go.
If nothing I mentioned help in anyway.. hopefully someone else will be able to. Them toilets will getcha.
But how can I root the phone if all I can get to is the boot screen (HBOOT or FASTBOOT)??
You got a secret for me?

I didnt think about that.. The new root method is alot more to it then the old one (1.5 method). I forgot the new one you have to be in android to do some things.
Try running the RUU again and use a fresh battery.

Try this. Run the ruu don't plug your phone in. Once it starts open up task manager and go to processes and right click on ruu exe or whatever the name is (just woke up not trying to think) and open up file location. A new window will open scroll to rom.zip copy that to your desktop then close the window and then the ruu. Now place the rom.zip on your sd card and rename it to HERCIMG.zip. Now if your phone ain't off turn it off then restart it holding the vol down key and red power button it should restart and scan your sdcard. Find hercimg and start to apply it
If you ran the stock RUU and it worked, try running the 2.1 Test release that was leaked a while back. That came already rooted.
Got HRCIMG.zip on the SD card ...
Had to use my other phone to transfer the fiel to the SD Card.. (so we knwo the SD Card is good!)
But when thebricked phone starts up.. and HBoot searches for HERCIMG.zip, it doesn't seem to find it..??? I suppose it could be that the phone doesn't see the card? Any way to verify that?

HMMMM that is strange. Maybe so you can't get into recovery either? I'm trying to remember how but it's not coming to me try two things. Using fastboot try to run the system image from your sd card. Also try the ruu in hboot or fastboot usb. Or manually running the ruu from fastboot using adb
This is why I don't use my phone around the toilet!!
Good Luck!

I'm new to all this SDK stuff... so I might require some help here...
1) is that ROM.ZIP a REAL ZIP file? because when I capture it, and try to open it with WInZIp.. it gives an error..
if I o to the HBoot Menu, and then hit <HOME> for Recovery, the phone just imediately starts booting over and over again.... Just the white screen with green HTC in the middle....
I can't run the stock RUU while the phone is in HBOIOT mode.. gotta have it in FastBoot USB....
I'll be back on my computer in bout 45 minutes

Yes it is but it uses lzma compression. Do you have the sdk setup yet? and in your system path? You are using windows right? what version? I got a way that I just tested for you that will work in fastboot
Looks liek the battery must have died sitting here on the FastBoot menu...
Guess that means it's not "Charging" either.....???
pull the battery then put it back in then plug it in to your wall charger don't turn it on do you see the light?

Getting adb shell to work in Ubuntu with my Droid

Hello, I recently got Ubuntu installed on my computer. I got the Android SDK set up on it, but I cannot get adb shell to work, everytime I try it this happens:
[email protected]:~$ adb shell

* daemon started successfully *
error: insufficient permissions for device

This never used to happen on windows, does anyone have any idea on how to fix it?
Have you tried running it as root? It tells you in the error message that you've got insufficient permissions...

[Q] HELP! Stuck at * daemon started successfully * (zergRush root method)

Hi everyone,
I am using a white Galaxy Note w/ GB 2.3.6 (KK2 kernel).
I've read in a different forum that users are able to use the exploit for KK1 works as well for KK2/KK3/KK4.
I downloaded zergRush KK1 (root + CWM), and ran the file: not-rooted-yet.bat
A CMD window pops up and the process halts after it says: * daemon started successfully *.
I have the ADB drivers installed, and both "USB debugging" and "Unknown sources" ticked.
I ran the BAT file whilst the phone was in Charge mode only.
I don't know why the rooting process + installation of CWM keeps on failing.
Please help!!
Thanks.
EDIT:
This is how CMD looks like:
CONFIRM ALL THE ABOVE THEN
Press any key to continue...

* daemon not running. starting it now *

(the process completely halts here)

If you rooted with a kernel you probably initiated the binary flash counter which could give you trouble regarding warranty issues

I think KK2 is not supported, at least not by CF Root for cwm. You can root however with DoomLORD http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1329360. You`ll have root and busybox but no cwm. Download rom manager from market and flash recovery (cwm) with that. Good luck If you have connection problems try another usb port.

Please Help!

Do the "factory reset". Erasing all data of course...
To try factory reset from recovery menu
1. turn off the phone
2. press vol down + power
3. waiting vibrate 2 times and release button
4. choose wipe data/factory reset
after that re-root again
don't forget setting debugging mode
before root.

First step would be to disconnect any other Android device.
Second one, put the phone to Airplane mode, you can do with some patience even with the SystemBackup.apk installed. Switch USB mode to "charging only".
If that doesn't help, you can still do a reset.
Do you have the Android SDK installed and are you running the root.bat as an Administrator?

Sorry @XperiaPlayer but, I don't have the Android SDK installed, and my root goes perfect...
You're sure that matters?
Regards
Shift + right click the folder where the root.bat is located and type adb devices (or adb.exe devices) and paste the output here.
