Samsung S5 G900W8 failled

[squaremobile]

Hi guys,

Recently, I noticed that Samsung S5 Canadian model (SM-G900W8)
can't be unlocked by chimera whether rooted or not.
It's always giving me protocol failed.

I looked up online, they are saying that if I downgrade to 5.1.1.
It will be possible to unlock.
So here I wonder if I can downgrade the phone using chimera,
Or do I have to download the firmware and use ODIN?

Dear Sir,

yes you can downgrade your phone with the chimeratool software (if the process can be dangerous the software automatically will be crashed and the downgrade process can not be done)

please use one of the follow sw versions:
Android Version: 4.4.2 - PDA Version: G900W8VLU1ANF3 [june 2014]
Android Version: 4.4.2 - PDA Version: G900W8VLU1ANH3 [august 2014]
Android Version: 4.4.2 - PDA Version: G900W8UMU1ANJ1 [october 2014]
Android Version: 5.0 - PDA Version: G900W8VLU1BOC2 [march 2015]
Android Version: 5.0 - PDA Version: G900W8VLU1BOC1 [march 2015]
Android Version: 5.1.1 - PDA Version: G900W8VLU1COI4 [september 2015]


Best regards
Nicole
