clumsy Boy, 22 Jul 2015Hey their imma be gicing u guys the instructions to perform a hard reset on a samsung galaxy s... moreHi C/Boy..i agree with you with the method to do factory reset on this phone..one thing though, on a rooted S5, doing this will wipe off the setting and data in the phone, but phone is still rooted..few things to do;
1) do a full unrooting on the superuser app before doing factory reset through recovery mode..
2) without unrooting, download newest S5 firmware, boot into download mode and flash through Odin. The phone will be 100 clean as it just came out of the factory.
Hope this help guys..thanks..

The Galaxy S5 would do you well also, but it's more of a "Jack-of-all-trades, master of none" situation.

I am thinking of buying new smartphone, my strategy is to buy last year flagships, because they got a good price cut, and of course, my two candidates are S5 and LG G3. I wonder which one should I choose, I am keen on camera, music and social networks, I dont play games.

Sudden death occured here. I'v been using it since June 2014 And after a year this happened. So, i dont hv warranty now, and i think i will need to pay huge amount to repair this.
i also posted my good opinion praising for s5 this month on this same thread by exhanging with note 3 but now i cant beleive on these electronic things anymore. I feel i wasted huge time and money..
