I recommend everyone put the Flashfire AP zip and Rom Zip on your internal storage as the AP file is so large that it may not be read properly do too limitations of some SD Cards. When you select AP file in Firmware there should be 4 partitions that are selected. If not then you have a bad download or need to have AP file on internal storage
Outstanding work. Thank you for this amazing rom.

Thanks jrkruse for this , very much appreciated!
I just noticed your 930t post just now so I am very grateful and about to flash it.
I am currently on the previous ROM that you posted which is for the edge.
I had heavy lag after rooting due to the eng boot.img flashed on odin but after tinkering with L Speed, it's been much faster .
I'm going to do it over again using the 930t files you posted but I have a question if possible you can answer...
When you mention above thar there is no lag because stock boot.img is used... Does that only refer to the rom being flashed and not rooted ? Because of course the eng boot.img I need to flash on odin is necessary to be able to acquire root and this would leave me in the end with lag due to having to flash that eng boot img. ..
im hoping I'm wrong..
is there a way to flash in odin the eng boot, acquire root , and then flash back the stock boot.img and perhaps leaving me rooted and on a stock lag free boot.img ?
I read through the entire edge thread and other places and was hoping a solution but It may not be possible or I'm just missing something obvious? I'd rather not deal with tweaking using lspeed or kernel auditor etc. But if rooting only possible way is to be stuck with the eng boot img i guess I'll take the risk..
Thanks again !:good:

Following The directions will get you a nonrooted custom rom that can be manipulated by adb such as deleting stuff or pushing files to system and will pass safetynet checks. If you want a rooted rom it means you have to have the eng boot.img. If you root the rom and and only flash back stock boot.img you will not have root but as soon as you flash back eng boot.img you will have root again. but doing this breaks safetynet

Thank you for your continued support for us on the S7 flat.
I'm having issue playing video through flash player. For example, I can play youtube video through youtube app fine however if I play it through chrome or samsung browser is does this weird loop at any position in time of the video. Let me know if anyone else is having this issue. I installed rom but didn't install any of the mod of the mods. Wanted as close as stock possible. PS I did tried with mod and didn't like it and reflashed without mods.
Thanks in advance.

It's the dual speaker mod try without that and all will work
@jrkruse,
Thanks. That is indeed the culprit. Reinstall rom without mods and remove system app through adb. Liking it. Thanks for all your efforts.
I am stuck in a bootloop when I install the stock kernel, but with the eng kernel it runs fine. Any ideas?

The whole Rom is a customized stock nonrooted Rom. PlayStore and BSFree were my signature roms back in the day.
Playstore= almost all Samsung apps replaced with google apps that are found on the play store
BSFree= Highly debloated Rom with Samsung apps
NoNaMe= Systemui mods from that Rom.
You can choose whatever you want on install
My walkthrough
For amateurs like me, I put together some more detailed instructions. I hope this provides help for some users. Following the below steps I had no issues, it works great, and is very speedy. If there are any issues with my steps PLEASE correct me! I'm doing my best to contribute, not the opposite!
Thanks jrkruse, @umaro, and all others for this! So far I'm loving it!
My Steps:
1) ODIN (PC program) https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24591023225177749
a. Setup:
-Make sure you have latest device drivers setup on your PC
-Enable USB Debugging on phone
-Boot phone into Download/Odin Mode: Turn off your device and press and hold Power button + Volume Down + Home. When you see the warning screen press Vol UP. Phone should say "Downloading..."
-Connect USB from PC to phone. ID:COM in Odin should turn Blue with a COM port
b. Unzip TMO_G930_Odin_Firmware.zip & select the (4) files from this zip (BL,AP,CP,CSC) in ODIN. Make sure all (4) get populated & selected
c. Options: Only these should be selected: Auto Reboot and F.Reset Time
d. Select START
e. When you get a green PASS! message in Odin, that means firmware has successfully been installed. Be patient as first boot may take a while
f. Exit ODIN
2) Phone Setup: After phone restarts for 1st time, go through setup as normal. (Ignore different carriers logos and SIM warnings)
3) ODIN: Restart phone back into Download/ODIN mode. Unzip ADB_Root_Flat_Files.zip, select ONLY AP_Nougat_S7_Flat_EngBoot.tar.md5, select START & wait for it to finish & restart phone
4) Gain Root:
a. Once phone comes back up, unzip ADB_Root_Flat_Files\Nougat_S7_Root_2_82_All_Carriers_V2.zip & Run root.bat. This will restart phone
b. After phone restarts, press key to continue install. I used options 2 & 1. Wait for phone to restart again. Should have root now.
5) FLASHFIRE/AROMA (App is now installed on phone via root script)
a. Unzip FlashFire_Flashable_G930T_Firmware.zip & copy unzipped file to your phone. Copy TMO_FLAT_HYBRID_PLAYSTORE_BS_FREE_NoNaMe_QF6_V4.zip to your phone. NOTE: Copy to internal memory NOT SD card.
b. Open FlashFire app on phone.
c. Choose + button, Flash ZIP, select TMO_FLAT_HYBRID_PLAYSTORE_BS_FREE_NoNaMe_QF6_V4.zip, select Mount /system option, touch checkmark button
d. Choose + button, Click add firmware & select AP_FlashFire_Only_G930_QF6_Firmware.tar.md5. Select all partitions, touch checkmark button
e. The flash order should be: Flash firmware package, then Flash ZIP. Everroot disabled. FLASH! Phone will restart into Aroma installer.
f. When phone comes up after script, select WIPE ALL DATA. (First boot will take 10+ minutes too boot)
---------- Post added at 07:45 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:38 PM ----------
Curious (and looking to identify different tweak options), would I need to go through ALL the steps again in order to access the Flashfire/Aroma setup to pick different setups, like PlayStore or NoNaMe? Or is there a shortcut I could take?

Please ask all questions in relation to issues you are having following the FAQ instructions to make it easier to answer your questions and easier for us to track the solutions that way the FAQ post is as up to date and accurate as possible.
As the GT10.1 landscape changes this thread will get updated. I will try and keep everything as simple and to the point as possible. Contributors will be much appreciated.
THE BASICS
BOOTLOADER MODE
Turn device off. Then hold down power + volume down button (the button closer to power button) until you see two icons appear then let go. Left icon (box) is recovery and right icon (Android robot) is Download. Use Vol. down to navigate then vol. up to select.
DOWNLOADING MODE
Just tap volume up when you have highlighted the android robot icon. You should see downloading appear under the icon.
RECOVERY MODE
Vol. up/down to navigate up or down and power button to select.
This is what you use to install ROMs/KERNELs and even themes for your specific roms when they become available. Just highlight the box icon and hit Vol. up. What we are doing now is replacing the stock recovery on your device with Clockwork Mod Recovery which allows you install unsigned ROMs/Kernels/Updates. When in recovery mode you can also back up whatever current ROM you have on your device so if you install a new ROM and something goes wrong you could always use recovery to restore. Whenever you install a new ROM it's advised to always wipe the device using cwmR to ensure a more stable install. Install new ROMS will also mean you will be losing all the apps on your device. It will look like you have a brand new device after the install unless its an update.zip for whatever rom you are currently on and the developer of that rom supports it.
Don't worry about losing your apps as you can always re-download them once you sync your device with your google account. However, the state of those apps and your settings will be lost, so I strongly suggest that you use an app like titanium back up and always make a back up of your apps before flashing any new ROMs. Check in the Recommended Apps section for a direct link to Titanium backup.
Here is the clockwork mod menu
- Reboot system now (self explanatory )
- Apply update from SDcard. (when you connect your device to your computer it will show up as tablet. The SDcard that cwm refers to is simply your device storage. Always make sure to copy install.zips to the root directory of your tablet storage.) You use this when applying an update for a specific ROM if that is what the ROM developer says.
- Wipe Data/ Factory Reset You should always do this before you install a new ROM or if you are having minor issues with your device.
- Wipe cache partition Think of this as the lite version of whats above . If you do above though it doesn't hurt to do this too.
- Install zip from SDcard Use this to install new ROMs.
- Back up and Restore
- Mounts and Storage use this to connect your device to your computer when in recovery mode. It is also possible to transfer files to your device while in this mode.
- Advanced What you are interested in here is something called dalvik cache, you want to wipe this too before installing any new ROM
- Power off

NVFLASH
Nvflash is a low level formatting and imaging tool. If you don't have a working recovery, or have broken the actual boot-loader on your tablet, this is the tool you will need to turn to. For those with unlocked bootloaders (and no fastboot capability), its the best way to root your device. Nvflash is pretty much NVida's version of say an ODIN program but done through cmd prompt. It can save a tablet if one is soft/semi-bricked or maybe full-bricked. To use nvFlash you must first put your tablet in APX mode (think of it as a way to allow you use commands on your computer to control your tablet).
Refer to this thread for downloads and instructions.

Downloads
Kernel.zip
Recovery.zip
1. Copy Files to root of device storage.
2. Boot into Bootloader mode and navigate to and enter recovery mode.
3. Apply Kernel.zip then recovery.zip
4. reboot.....Done.
UNROOTING & RESTORING STOCK RECOVERY
1. Using CWM Flash the stock rom for your device. This unroots your device and basically makes it like a brand new tablet.
2. Use Odin to flash the stock recovery from the filesfordummies.zip.
3. Done, your device is exactly how it was when you picked it up.
FLASHING ROMS AND KERNELS
This is pretty easy as long as you have CWM on your device.
Simply boot CWM recovery, navigate to either update/instal zip from SDcard (pls adhere to ROM/kernel install instructions) and flash the .zip file of the ROM or kernel.
I will update this section with links to all the existing and stable ROMs and kernels as the become available. I will advice that you hold off on the kernels if you can as every stable kernel will eventually get cooked into a ROM unless of course you want to help test them or be on the bleeding edge .

So stop just downloading stuff people, now you can actually really contribute to making what gets released the best it can be and as bug free as possible.
FAQ
Be sure to ask whatever questions you have in relation to anything and any problems you come across. But please start every question you have with either a
(Q) basically letting me know its a question or a
(P) letting me know its a problem
I will put up all your questions or problems on here so everyone can see them and the answers or fixes . this way people won't have to filter through tons of pages to get help.
(Q) Should I follow these instructions for an IO edition tab? Or should I just use the fastboot flash [cwm recover] and flash the zips through that?
(A) This method will work on the IO version.
(Q) kernel 2.6.36.4 is a NO-GO for the 3G version?
(A) Yes, it doesn't work on the 3G version yet.
(Q) If my tab ins locked does that mean i cant flash kernels on it?
(A) You can flash anything as long as you have a recovery that will support it. In our case CWM. Being locked and unlocked really only stops you from flashing stuff "easily" but since we can change the recovery, we can flash anything.
(Q) Does the Odin file wipe tab?
(A) No. All Odin is doing here is flashing a new recovery to your tab. Nothing more.
(P) Can't see tablet as USB storage device on Mac.
(A) Unfortunately Android and Macs don't play nice... you best bet is to use dropbox or a simple bluetooth transfer to transfer files from your mac to your tablet. Then on your Tab use a file manager app to move your files to where you want them to be. For now. Another option is to download everything that requires you using CWM with your tablet so its all already there. So in CWM all you have to do is navigate to your downloads folder. I just created a folder called mods and I have them all there.
(P) Stuck in BootLoop after Flashing ROM via Odin.
(A) You should use nvFlash to falsh CWM if you don't still have it then do a full wipe of your device including reformating all partions in mounts and storage except the boot partition then using Odin install a stock Rom on your device.
(P) I messed things up on my LTE tab and I now somehow dont have a recovery mode anymore!!!!!
(A) Go Here and scroll to post #4 and follow tijayz instructions.... make sure to thank him!!!

Sorry, try again... its working on my end though.
Nice, should be stickied.
(Q) Should I follow these instructions for an IO edition tab? Or should I just use the fastboot flash [cwm recover] and flash the zips through that?
The so-called "Mount device as USB Mass storage" thread has nothing to do with mounting the device as Mass Storage. It only tells you how to mount as MTP, which can be done without any of the steps mentioned in the thread. Seriously, it doesn't belong on this list.
Also, you should include instructions for using nvflash to install a custom recovery. I found it much easier and safer to root through this method than through Odin.
[Q] kernel 2.6.36.4
Many thanks for preparing this post.
Just wanted to add a question here: can you confirm that kernel 2.6.36.4 is a NO-GO for the 3G version?
Or is it related with TW versus plain HC?
I'm running the stock TW rom on a rooted 3G tab. Tried to flash the above kernel with OC purposes, had to recover through a CWM backup.
Thanks for clarifying

I'm just going to copy exactly waht I typed in the IRC -- I'm stuck without being able to reboot into recovery with an I/O tab. Also cannot get fastboot to work
- i got some help from here earlier but now i'm stuck again in rooting/flashing a custom rom on the IO edition
<slobdogg> i went through the ODIN process to revert to 3.0.1, then was able to adb reboot recovery and install the root file
<slobdogg> afterwards i installed clockwork mod using RM, and then did the update to a 3.1 OTA file on XDA
<slobdogg> now i'm supposed to reboot into recovery to reinstall root but i cannot
<slobdogg> even in ADB if i reboot recovery it just restarts the device...also, I cannot enter recovery through the Vol Down + Power method, just fastboot and odin
<slobdogg> so im right back where I was (3.1 with no root)

in order to do adb reboot recovery you need a rooted boot.
flash the latest tools pack, and you will get root/adb root shell/busybox,dropbear,ssh,etc.,etc.
you need to get CWM or the stock IO recovery on the device, prior to being able to flash.

What tools pack are you referring to? Can't seem to find something relating to that on the forum.
I feel like an idiot because it just seems like if i restart the process, I'll lose CWM again and be back where I am right now. If I could just get fastboot to work this whole thing would be a lot easier because I could just flash CWM without root.

As with most issues, mine turned out to be user error. I forgot to re-flash the root.zip file after flashing the 3.1 update. That prevented me from being ablet o reboot into CWM.
Started from step 1, and flashed the root file after the 3.1 update and now i'm fine.

(Q) Should I follow these instructions for an IO edition tab? Or should I just use the fastboot flash [cwm recover] and flash the zips through that?

This is only really known for certain to work on a retail locked or unlocked version. Not certain about the google i/o version but will ask around for you. But nothing here says that version is supported using this method.
However, i see no reason why it won't work though, assuming you only flash the root exploit.
For instructions specific to your model though, refer to this thread

The so-called "Mount device as USB Mass storage" thread has nothing to do with mounting the device as Mass Storage. It only tells you how to mount as MTP, which can be done without any of the steps mentioned in the thread. Seriously, it doesn't belong on this list.
Also, you should include instructions for using nvflash to install a custom recovery. I found it much easier and safer to root through this method than through Odin.

Thanks, removed the usb thingy, however, it would be nice if you also contributed a link to the nvflash method so i could update the thread. its not my thread you know? it belongs to all of us. How good this thread ends up being all boils down to how helpful we all are.

As with most issues, mine turned out to be user error. I forgot to re-flash the root.zip file after flashing the 3.1 update. That prevented me from being ablet o reboot into CWM.
Started from step 1, and flashed the root file after the 3.1 update and now i'm fine.
Thanks!

Glad to see you are sorted
Please everyone... carefully follow the instructions!!!
On another note, does this mean that this process works on a google i/o device already on android 3.1? Please let me know so i can update

Well, i put it up and took it out again, there is currently a much, much, much easier and direct method to root the device. And one that I am sure you will agree is by far more straight forward.

I'm not sure if it's just my version of the I/O Tab, or all I/O Tabs, but one key thing is that I could NOT boot into recovery on a non-rooted 3.1 Edition.
On 3.1, adb reboot recovery would simply reboot my device. I cannot use the POW + VOL DOWN button combination because I am presented with a USB icon on the left (which takes you to fastboot - which would not work for me), and the ODIN Download Icon on the right.
So, the only changes to the instructions with regards to an IO tab is to remove any reference to "POWER + VOL DOWN" as the method of getting into recovery. IT MUST be done via a command -- either adb reboot recovery or using Rom Manager to boot into CWM.
Exact steps for me (brief):
1. ODIN to revert to 3.0.1
2. reboot the device, turn on USB Debugging
3. connect to computer and use ADB to "adb reboot recovery" then install root zip file once you get into the stock recovery
4. Reboot - install Rom Manager and Clockwork Mod.
5. Reboot into CWM
6. Install the 3.1 Update AND [before rebooting] re-install the root zip file
7. Voila!
Only thing is -- now that I am on 3.1, the only way for me to get into recovery is via Rom Manager because the 'adb reboot recovery' function only reboots the devices, and the button combination trick still does not work.
EDIT: paragraph above is not entirely true -- i can open a terminal on my Tab and type 'reboot recovery' to get back into recovery. So, it's just adb & the button combination that does not work.
I still cannot figure out why I cannot get fastboot to work. My computer even seems to recognize that I have a fastboot device connected, but I cannot send any fastboot commands; even fastboot devices returns nothing.
IMPORTANT! This is NOT my work, all credits to the Genius chenxiaolong who made this available for all Galaxy S4 Variants
See original Thread [PATCHER][APP] Dual boot any ROM on all Galaxy S4 variants!
The Story:
I don´t like Touchwiz very much but for some Reasons I always have to come back to it. Maybe the Camera, sometimes the Allshare Features for Smart TV...Everybody has his Reasons to use/need it sometimes...
Untill today, I had to backup/restore between Sammy and Cyanogenmod a lot, It bugged me but I thought there is no choice till I found this Thread. First, I was a little afraid because there is a lot of Information in the OP and some stuff to do but then I thought, what may happen? Bootloop, Odin, Hard-brick,naaah, what´s Life without a little risk?
So I tried and it works !
If you want to do what I did, just follow these (very easy) Instructions.
Think about what your doing. This is your very own Device with your very own contract so please proceed at your very own risk! I have tested this exactly the way it is written down here and it worked. So if something goes wrong on your Device, don´t blame me or the Developer of this fantastic App!!
...Make sure your an owner of the international Samsung Galaxy S4 Active (i9295) (if not, tell me what happened )
...If your on a stock Sammy Rom, make sure that you are rooted and have a custom recovery installed...
...Also, you will need to delete some System Apps to free Space for secondary Rom but please don´t ask me which. There is enough Bloatware inside but a good start for me always is "HRS Hotels", "Google Maps/Mail/Plus" and so on...
1. Download the 3 Files from chenxiaolong´s Thread (not linked but you will find it...remember, this is NOT my work!)
- Dualboot Patcher
- Dualboot Switcher App
- Dualbootutility.zip
2. Download the custom Rom of your choice. In my case, I used
cm-10.2-20131227-UNOFFICIAL-jactiveltexx.zip
and official Gapps
3. Install the Dualboot Patcher and run it on your Device
4. Follow its Instructions to patch your custom Rom and, if needed, also the Gapps
5. Install the Dualboot Switcher App and run it
6. Set current Kernel as "Primary ROM´s Kernel"
7. Reboot into recovery
8. Flash your patched Rom File(s)
9. Reboot (the Device will NOW boot into secondary Rom!)
10. Install Dualboot Switcher App in 2nd Rom
11. Now you can choose between primary and secondary Rom to boot
12. Done
Please press THANKS in original Thread and, if you can, donate some to chenxiaolong because this is awesome!!!
Easy, isn´t it? Yes, it is. It is exactly what I was looking for because now I can use both worlds, the beautiful and the beast
English wasn´t my Mother´s language so please excuse me for mistakes you surely will find

At what point to flash the 2nd ROM?
Hi,
To me the instructions are not very clear. At what point do I install/flash the 2nd rom. For example if my current ROM is CM10.2, how do I get a second rom (sammy) onto the phone?
Can you be a bit more precise on the steps?
Thank you very much

Hey,
if you want to flash a Sammy Rom as 2nd Rom you need to have it as a flashable zip File (you will find them here in this Forum)
This should be the 2nd step in OP then, so just continue with the list
But don´t forget to delete some Files from /system of the Stock Rom to have enough Space for both Rom inside the /system Folder of your Device.
I hope that helped ?

@d8389 posted mk3 here ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=45757227) and there are no big changes in ml3 I think.
But, why not flash Sammy as primary with Odin, makes things way easier

Sorry for not understanding:
I would love to do precisely that, but that way i will loose root and have to re-install CMW-recovery won't I?
I will try to figure out the steps to take:
1. Reboot into CWM and install DualBootUtilities
2 .Set CM10.2 somehow as Secondary ROM?
3. Flash your already patched CM10.2 ROM and GAPPS on 2nd ROM
4. Somehow set 1st ROM active and connect in Download-mode to ODin and Flash I9295XXUBML3.tar.md5 ?
Going in the right direction ??

Let's say you've set up a Sammy Rom completely including root and cwm recovery. The normal way as usual.
If you downloaded the already patched Files, place them somewhere you can find em.
Now, install and start the "Dualboot Switcher" app and set first Rom as primary.
Boot into Recovery.
Install the patched Files the normal way.
Reboot, phone will boot into second Rom now by default.
Once, second Rom has booted, install and run the "Dualboot Switcher" app again. Inside the App you can now choose which Rom to boot, then push reboot Button inside the App.
Done
I hope that helped but feel free to ask!

Rooted S4Active with cm-10.2-20131227-UNOFFICIAL-jactiveltexx, gapps-jb-20130813-signed and CWM installed.
1. Installed SwitcherApp in CM10.2
2. Reboot into recovery and flashed cm-10.2-20131227-UNOFFICIAL-jactiveltexx_dualboot and gapps-jb-20130813-signed_dualboot
- as you stated it reboots into 1st ROM and makes CM10.2 2nd
3. Rebooted into Download Mode
3. Used Odin 3.09 to install I9295XXUBML3_I9295PHNBML2_I9295XXUBML3_HOME.tar.md5
4. Rebooting now.... :fingers-crossed: I think it did not work. Looking at the Samsung glowing logo for some time now.
* This way i dit not remove files from /system so that could be the problem?

No, this way Odin will flash Sammy Rom and everything will be gone.
Now, after you flashed Sammy successfully, flash cwm recovery, root, delete some bloat and then (!) work down the list in OP
Then it will work. Without offense, you need to read more careful

LOL i think that won't work cause i put it on my Ext-SD so i first have to install the right CWM to access my Nandroid
But i will be fine, serious
I am just waiting for my apps to re-install...so i wondered...when i have 2 roms/dualboot, will the Samsung Update show me an update in the stock rom? So, like kitkat is coming next month? #ProbablyNot
Well... Back to single boot CM10.2 for now...
Didn't work out for me but I'll be back for a 2nd attempt soon.
Meanwhile: SammyStock won't update in dual boot setup (obvious)
Had to disable Knox along the way to be able to install some apps that required root privileges.

So titaniumbackup-restore is the way to go?

Please correct me if i am wrong:
Stock-SammyROM (latest firmware: I9295XXUBML3_I9295PHNBML2_I9295XXUBML3_HOME )

4. Disable Knox
5. Enable USB-debugging
6. Enable 'Install unverfied apps' and disable Google unverified app install warning
7. (can't find ADB-settings in this ROM?)
8. Install Dual Boot Switcher app
9. Set kernel 1st ROM as primary kernel
10. Remove some bloatware
11. Reboot into recovery and flash patched zip files (CM10.2 + GAPPS)

Yes, you are very close
I´d do it this way :
After a fresh install of your Sammy Stock Rom, let it set up. Then, turn of Device and restart into Download Mode
1. Root with Odin Flash this recovery with Odin
2. CWM-recovery with Odin After flash, Device will reboot, press Vol Up + Home, it will go into recovery
2a. Flash this from Recovery
2b. Reboot Device and Click on the SU App. Let it do it´s job (it will install stuff and disable KNOX)
3. Enable Developer-mode not needed
4. Disable Knox is done by SU App
5. Enable USB-debugging not needed
6. Enable 'Install unverfied apps' and disable Google unverified app install warning
7. (can't find ADB-settings in this ROM?) not there in stock and not needed
8. Install Dual Boot Switcher app
9. Set kernel 1st ROM as primary kernel
10. Remove some bloatware
10a. Apps like Google+, Maps, Samsung Bloat are good candidates for this as they are downloadable from store later or not needed at all
11. Reboot into recovery and flash patched zip files (CM10.2 + GAPPS)
12. Reboot and install Dual Boot Switcher app in 2nd ROM
13. Install Titanium backup and restore apps+app-data
Yes, there should be no Problems with TB even tho you´ll get warnings about SU. It works.
Good luck

I saw a lot of confusion about the China Mobile TD-LTE version of the S5 in the owner's thread, also the explained method uses files that are not easily available and that, in my opinion are not up to standards. In general the procedure to obtain ROOT access and install Google Apps is not different than for any other phone and you need to use standard well known resources.
I will assume you are on the latest firmware, not that it should make any difference, but I only tested that one. At the moment the latest available firmware for the SM-G9008V is CHM-G9008VZMU1ANH3.
RECOVERY
1. Install Samsung USB drivers on your PC
2. Download Odin 3.07 on your PC
3. Download an ODIN flashable recovery onto your PC g9008v-cmw-recovery-6.0.4.8-en(0420).tar.md5 - 12.33 MB
4. Open odin, click the PDA button, navigate to the recovery file (tar file) you just downloaded, MAKE SURE only F. Reset Time is selected, do not select Auto reboot, this is very important!
5. Boot into download mode (hold the menu button, power button, and volume down button all together simultaneously until the device reboots)
6. When you see that odin detects your device(a colored indicator will turn on) click start
7. When Odin is done, disconnect the USB cable and pull out the battery, then boot into Recovery (hold the menu button, power button, and volume up button all together simultaneously until the device reboots)
8. Once in CWM recovery select "reboot system now". CWM will eventually ask you if you want to disable recovery reflashing and you'll be good to go (it may not ask, but in that case you are good to go anyway). This happens only at the first boot after recovery flashing.
If you do not carefully follow steps 6-7-8, the stock ROM will reflash the stock recovery and you'll have to repeat the process.
ROOT
1. Download SuperSU flashable zip from Chainfire UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.14.zip - 2.5 MB
2. Copy UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.14.zip on your External SD Card
3. Boot the phone into recovery mode (shutdown the phone, then start it pressing Volume+/up, home button and power for several seconds)
4. Select "install zip" and then "choose zip from /storage/extSdCard", locate UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.14.zip on your phone and proceed with the installation.
5. Reboot the phone and look for SuperSU, open the app and it will alert you of the presence of KNOX and ask if you want to disable it, go for it, it may take some time.
GOOGLE APPS
1. Download the KitKat official signed package from Cyanogen gapps-kk-20140105-signed.zip - 83.1 MB
2. Copy gapps-kk-20140105-signed.zip on your External SD Card
3. Boot the phone into recovery mode (shutdown the phone, then start it pressing Volume+/up, home button and power for several seconds)
4. Select "install zip" and then "choose zip from /storage/extSdCard", locate gapps-kk-20140105-signed.zip on your phone and proceed with the installation.
5. Reboot your phone and you're done.
To remove/hide bloatware I suggest to use Titanium Backup.
CHANGELOG
16/10/2014
- updated SuperSU to 2.14
- added additional steps to avoid automatic stock recovery reflash
I added some steps to avoid stock recovery reflash, forgot that very important step!
Hi bubbl3,
I was wondering if you have tried to install the gapps without a custom recovery.? The reason I am asking is that when I try to flash gapps with stock recovery I get an error message that says: signature verification failed. Tried with and without root.
I don't have exactly your phone but close, Sm-g9008w.

No problem at all, just meant I was forced to test a bit in the blind, as it really hard to find any information regarding the SM-G9008W.
Yeah, I used your recovery as your phone got almost the same firmware version(G9008WZMU1ANH3), so I expected that it would work and it worked like a charm.
How much bloatware did you remove with Titanium? I got a few things apps I am not sure if I can remove without any consequence.

1. Download SuperSU flashable zip from Chainfire UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.14.zip - 2.5 MB
2. Copy UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.14.zip on your External SD Card
3. Boot the phone into recovery mode (shutdown the phone, then start it pressing Volume+/up, home button and power for several seconds)
4. Select "install zip" and then "choose zip from /storage/extSdCard", locate UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.14.zip on your phone and proceed with the installation.
5. Reboot the phone and look for SuperSU, open the app and it will alert you of the presence of KNOX and ask if you want to disable it, go for it, it may take some time.

Thanks for your detailed step-by-step instructions. Just wanted to reconfirm in Step 8 when it asks to disable recovery reflashing - do I have to say 'yes' (disable recovery reflashing) or 'no' (don't disable recovery reflashing).
Thanks

Great! I had got this phone pre-rooted by the vendor and he has messed up deleting apps and deleted important stuff like keyboard, etc. I will be flashing latest stock Samsung firmware from Sammobile.com and then try your method to root. Hope that goes through fine. Will I have to flash GAPPS as well?
Also, I hope I don't lose my dual SIM functionality by rooting the stock ROM. Will I?
Thanks

You will have to flash GAPPS as the original stock ROM doesn't include them, also I don't see how you can loose dual SIM functionality if you flash the stock ROM.

I basically removed all the chinese stuff and a couple of samsung apps.

Yes, I had a lot of problems finding any informations about the G9008W, that's also why I decided to write in your thread, hoped others could find it useful.
Nice, I will try to remove as much as possible myself then.
bubbl3 said:
@Jaco_dk : there is a specific CWM for the SM-G9008W, you may want to flash this one to avoid any hidden incompatibilities: http://www.studenikin.ru/svarom/files/g9008w-cwm-recovery-6.0.5.0-en(0715).tar

Thanks for the help, however I don't have any problems what so ever, so I think I will keep using yours for now.
Does it work on SM-G9006W?
bubbl3 said:
I saw a lot of confusion about the China Mobile TD-LTE version of the S5 in the owner's thread, also the explained method uses files that are not easily available and that, in my opinion are not up to standards. In general the procedure to obtain ROOT access and install Google Apps is not different than for any other phone and you need to use standard well known resources.
I will assume you are on the latest firmware, not that it should make any difference, but I only tested that one. At the moment the latest available firmware for the SM-G9008V is CHM-G9008VZMU1ANH3.
RECOVERY
1. Install Samsung USB drivers on your PC
2. Download Odin 3.07 on your PC
3. Download an ODIN flashable recovery onto your PC g9008v-cmw-recovery-6.0.4.8-en(0420).tar.md5 - 12.33 MB
4. Open odin, click the PDA button, navigate to the recovery file (tar file) you just downloaded, MAKE SURE only F. Reset Time is selected, do not select Auto reboot, this is very important!
5. Boot into download mode (hold the menu button, power button, and volume down button all together simultaneously until the device reboots)
6. When you see that odin detects your device(a colored indicator will turn on) click start
7. When Odin is done, disconnect the USB cable and pull out the battery, then boot into Recovery (hold the menu button, power button, and volume up button all together simultaneously until the device reboots)
8. Once in CWM recovery select "reboot system now". CWM will eventually ask you if you want to disable recovery reflashing and you'll be good to go (it may not ask, but in that case you are good to go anyway). This happens only at the first boot after recovery flashing.
If you do not carefully follow steps 6-7-8, the stock ROM will reflash the stock recovery and you'll have to repeat the process.
ROOT
1. Download SuperSU flashable zip from Chainfire UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.14.zip - 2.5 MB
2. Copy UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.14.zip on your External SD Card
3. Boot the phone into recovery mode (shutdown the phone, then start it pressing Volume+/up, home button and power for several seconds)
4. Select "install zip" and then "choose zip from /storage/extSdCard", locate UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.14.zip on your phone and proceed with the installation.
5. Reboot the phone and look for SuperSU, open the app and it will alert you of the presence of KNOX and ask if you want to disable it, go for it, it may take some time.
GOOGLE APPS
1. Download the KitKat official signed package from Cyanogen gapps-kk-20140105-signed.zip - 83.1 MB
2. Copy gapps-kk-20140105-signed.zip on your External SD Card
3. Boot the phone into recovery mode (shutdown the phone, then start it pressing Volume+/up, home button and power for several seconds)
4. Select "install zip" and then "choose zip from /storage/extSdCard", locate gapps-kk-20140105-signed.zip on your phone and proceed with the installation.
5. Reboot your phone and you're done.
To remove/hide bloatware I suggest to use Titanium Backup.
CHANGELOG
16/10/2014
- updated SuperSU to 2.14
- added additional steps to avoid automatic stock recovery reflash

I have seen these threads for a while and I couldn't find anything related to my SM-G9006W, even on other threads, I didn't see anything about SM-G9006W. I also recently updated it to Lollilop 5, not sure if that make more complicated to install GAPPS. If you know anything about how to root this phone and install GAPPS, please let me know, I would be really appreciated. Thank you
Hi. G9008W has got Lollipop update. I plan to flash it after downloading from sammobile site. Will this method be still valid to root the phone running Lollipop? Will this CWM work? Of course, I'll flash Lollipop CM gapps. Thanks.

Hi gverma1,
Have you tried it yet?
I am downloading the lolipop update right now, and I was wondering exactly the same if the CWM will work with Lolipop, as I need google play.
I will try and see if Chainfire is willing to make a new CFAuto root for Lolipop for SM-G9008W when I am done with downloading the firmware.
//Jaco
Downloading here myself. But on checking CWM versions for other phones including other S5 variants, the version required seems to be 6.0.4.8 whereas we have 6.0.5.0 here. So I don't think there would be any issues.

Hi gverma1,
I just finished updating to Lolipop, and I installed the 6.0.5.0 and it works just fine.
However it didn't like the PA Gapps Nano, got stuck att starting up apps. So I am going to test some different once now.
Update. The Gapps actually worked after a factory reset.

I recommend everyone put the Flashfire AP zip and Rom Zip on your internal storage as the AP file is so large that it may not be read properly do too limitations of some SD Cards. When you select AP file in Firmware there should be 4 partitions that are selected. If not then you have a bad download or need to have AP file on internal storage
You are a big @jrkruse and I love what you build I will install it in a couple of hours I will return thanks

I've tried to install twice so far. Both times I make it as far as Aroma installer getting to "Wiping Data" then phone reboots to Splash screen and just sits. Doesn't make it to boot animation. Tried rebooting, then booting to recovery and wiping cache, then tried factory reset, but nothing helped.
Are there any things I should avoid in Aroma options?
