[Q] Samsung Galaxt S5 (Sprint) Trouble rooting topic

I've never rooted a phone before and was curious to get CM11 on my Galaxy S5. Since the installer isn't compatible with the S5, I figured I'd try rooting it. When I first got the phone I tried it (back in April) and it didn't work so I forgot about it and didn't try again until the other day. I looked it up on youtube and followed the instructions to the letter not missing a thing. Like I said earlier, I don't know much about rooting so the first time I tried I could have easily messed it up. Anyways, I downloaded what the video said, went through it step-by-step not missing anything and when I went to boot it up after doing whatever I was doing in Odin, unlike the guy in the video whose phone loaded up the Samsung Loading screen that had no text on the top left, mine did. I waited for a minute before retrying, following it to the letter and it did it again, so I looked in the comments. Some others were having problems and said they had to get the original ROM and do it from that to get the phone to boot. I did that, phone booted fine and here I am without a rooted phone and with no CM11.


I'm asking what I did wrong/what's going on with my phone/why can't I root it/am I just an idiot?

Samsung Galaxt Tab 2 10.1 Screen Replacement Help topic

Hey guys,

I have a Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 that I got from somebody to replace the cracked screen. This is not my first screen repair but it is my first time working with these Samsung tablets. I went out and bought a new screen for it which showed up in the mail damaged, so I contacted the seller and he sent a new one which was in good condition when it arrived. I went ahead and put it on the tablet with no problems. I turned the tablet on and it didn't work. I googled the problem and then I found out that there are different revisions of this screen. The screen that i had installed onto the tablet was a rev 0.2 and the one that arrived damaged was a rev 0.3. None of the screens work including the original but I think that is due to it being broken beyond use while I was removing it.

The original screen doesn't say what revision it is. The flex cable has MCF-101-0403-V3 ISU 1238 on the cable. Would this be a rev 0.0 cable? I am assuming that it is because there is no stated revision number on it. The problem I am having is that I cannot find any digitizers that are being sold on ebay that specifically say rev 0.0 on them. Does anybody know a reputable source that sells rev 0.0 digitizers? Preferably black.

I really need to get this tablet fixed because the owner has waited a long time and I'm still no closer to fixing it.

Any replies or help will be extremely appreciated!
