Support for Samsung Galaxy S5 Straight Talk/Tracphone Support?

[yushirogowa7201]

Been trying to install LineageOS on my old Samsung Galaxy S5, but apparently I've got myself a rare variant of it... SM-S902L.

Tried to use the program but it came up with "Failed to load config device with code kltefnvzw."

Any help would be appreciated!

Hi @yushirogowa7201 thanks for reaching out and your interest in using the installer! :)

Currently, the Samsung Galaxy S5 is not supported at all. But it should be easy to add, there was just no one to have the device and specify the config for it. So, if you want you could create a config for the device and contribute here as a PR. The process can be found here and I guess you can start off of the Samsung Galaxy S6 (zerofltexx).

Let me know if I can help you with that :)

LineageOS seems to support your device under this device code: https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/klteaio/

Apparently I need to run a grep command and that looks like a linux only command... is it possible to use a virtual machine with linux installed onto it to do this?

Actually, you just need the code the installer gave you: kltefnvzw this is the same output from a windows version of the command.

Oh! That's good to know then! What would I put under the maintainer part then? Just my name?

Yes, just your name and/or your github handle.

Hmm... running into more issues here... heimdall isn't working with it and I don't think twrp has my version... do you by chance have a discord?

What is the error you get from heimdall? If heimdall isn't working, I guess there is no quick way to support the device. But let's see. With regards to TWRP there might be inofficial versions in the XDA-forum. I can have a look once we figured out heimdall.

I don't have a discord for now.

@yushirogowa7201 Can you provide the log file so I can investigate the heimdall issue?

Also, it looks like the klte TWRP image might also work for that device. At least it is referenced here: https://github.com/IMD3RPY/SM-S902L_ROOT_KIT-Custom-ROMs/blob/master/Guide

@yushirogowa7201 Just picked this issue up. Maybe your TWRP version just does not fit your device... Lemme look into this. It would be great if you could provide a bit more information about your device, like SoC. RAM and Storage capacity as well as in which country it was purchased. This could help determining where the issue might be...

Maybe this helps: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samsung_Galaxy_S5#Comparison_table

It seems like there is a page on the LineageOS wiki, that matches your device's product number (S902L), but has a different device code: klteaio. Do these specs match your device? https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/klteaio/

Interestingly the device is not listed to be supported on the TWRP page nor is the possibly on par version G900AZ: https://twrp.me/samsung/samsunggalaxys5qualcomm.html

And yes this device is VERY niche - I can barely find information about it online - not even specifically on Wikipedia(!)

Los doesnt seem to support that variant as mentioned before.
