I cannot, for the life of me, find the firmware for a Galaxy S5 Active. Model SM-G870A. I have been searching for 5 hours so far. Please, help! This is for AT&T.

Hey TheGerbenstor, welcome to the forum!

I joined you in your search and couldn't find this firmware anywhere - not just on our site, but anywhere period. I checked with our team, and apparently it's because this is an AT&T firmware and AT&T doesn't release their firmwares over the official Samsung firmware channel. Sorry about that

Is there a way to make an image using my dad's phone? (Same exact phone without any problems)

Andrei

If you mean taking the firmware from his phone, I'm not sure if/how you can do that.

There is a way of doing it though I am not sure if it will work on this device or not. Worth a try though! So here is what you do...
Start by creating a back up on your dad's phone in the ext sd card via CWM. Then you take the same sd from your dad's phone and put it into yours. Boot it into a recovery and then restore.

memerager13 Hey, I found it interesting you mentioned booting into recovery... So how do you do that? I've experience with Galaxy devices - so what's the scoop?
