sorry drawing a blank here..I have the NE9 file..which section of ODIN do I flash it from?? thanks
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] BigBot96:
Depends on version of ODIN.

ODIN 3.04 is PDA

ODIN 3.09 is AP
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] dogbots159:
Not usually confused... but...

Okay in my past experiences with roms, it's been one version of a rom with one firmware. So here's what I need to know. I'm on NCG. Do I need to flash an update to ne9?

For the record, towel root was used for rooting and since then, OTA updates do not work. So I assume I'd need to do some Odin magic if necessary.

Also this is a coworkers phone. I'd never be silly enough to do an OTA update haha!

Thanks in advance everyone.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] bbernardini:
Thanks! I thought I had lost my mind for a while, or had just screwed up something.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] BigBot96:
If you never flashed the NE9 firmware or never accepted the OTA then yes you will need to update to NE9. Check the OP under the INSTALLATION heading

Nope. Not just you!
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] blckrex:
I've been getting download unsuccessful download for two builds already, haven't been able to update
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] evilhunter101:
R11 seems to have broken Titanium Backup with ART for me. Anyone else?

Some details:

Checking for sqlite support hangs on loading TB. When it finally loads, freezing apps and restoring apps fails. Only issue I've found with R11.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] bbernardini:
The Walk still keeps crashing for me. Not sure why.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] BigBot96:
***

Due to the issues mentioned in recent posts, I have pulled R11 for now. Unsure how these issues slipped past my testing but they did.

If you wish to revert back to R10, follow these instructions:

Get the NCG firmware from here: firmware collection

Restore your R10 backup

OR...

Clean Flash R10 from here: R10

MD5: 751c101c1e89e838c5cf7b0cc814aa06

I'll be diving into this tonight hopefully.

[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] bbernardini:
Forgive my ignorance, as I'm very new to the S5. Are you saying I can't just restore the backup I made of R10 before I flashed R11?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] BigBot96:
You can. You'll just need to reflash the NCG firmware.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] trikotret:
I took the ota before I flashed this ROM and have not a single problem with this ROM. Running very nice
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] BigBot96:
That's interesting as I'm experiencing the YouTube issues. Are you able to open the official YouTube app?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] dogbots159:
Thank you! I figured as much. And feel kind of stupid :P Thank you :)
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] evilhunter101:
YouTube app opens and plays videos fine for me with R11. Cache may need clearing?(I'm the guy that had Titanium Backup issues)
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] trikotret:
Mine opens up fine. I think it got updated too
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] torr310:

HOW TO FLASH FIRMWARE USING ODIN FOR SAMSUNG DEVICES

[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] midnight assassin:
I just downloaded youtube from the play store opened it and played a video with no issue.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] kenjoma:
I'm confused. Why won't the flashlight toggle work?

I am on build 10 with the ne9 firmware and my flashlight works fine. So wouldn't the only problem be the new ROM?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] BigBot96:
Well then what the hell. I can't get the dagum thing to load. Clean flash after clean flash :mad:

On the software side. The flashlight smali file seems to be incompatible and causes SystemUI to FC.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] JAWheat411:
I had to re-download the Youtube app after I installed the rom, but I have no problems using it. R11 by the way.

:good:
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] torr310:
I saw KNOX is present in this ROM. Is it safe to uninstall it using Titanium Backup?

Thank you!
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] evilhunter101:
Are you on ART? If so, can you freeze or restore things in titanium backup?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] torr310:
I am on Dalvik and I uninstalled it in Tiatanium backup. Have not had problem.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] evilhunter101:
I guess it's just ART that is messing me up then. Time to switch back I guess. Thanks
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] BigBot96:
I had an issue where I couldn't restore anything. Stayed at 0%. I also had this problem on NCG after rooting back in June while on ART.

I'm gonna apply a few fixes and get a R11-1 pushed out.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] nybelle:
I'm on a rooted NE9 with the latest OTA. Do I still need to do Step 4 above on my new slot before installing this ROM, or can I do a straight ROM install on a clean slot?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] slvrbul:
I am running R11 and today everything has settled and working!!!

You will need to flash the NE9 firmware located here: G900V_FirmwareOnly_NE9.tar.md5.zip - Thanks BeansTown106!

Release 11-1

No more problems with YouTube (tested over and over)

Added S Health fix

Removed AVS.apk to stop vzwavsservice force close with Google+

Removed the annoying text on blank TouchWiz pages

DOWNLOAD HERE
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] jagrave:
so we do this:

1.flash release 11-1

2.flash ne9 firmware only in download mode

3.reboot

is that it?

Also, does that retain root? if yes, then what was the deal about having to take ota, flash ncg firmware, root, then flash the ne9 firmware?

I'm a little confused on that. thank you so much for your help!! :)
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] BigBot96:
Yes, that's the correct order. You only needed to take the OTA a few weeks ago because the official firmware TAR was not yet available, thus requiring the OTA to have the latest firmware. But since the release of the firmware TAR you no longer need to do that. :good:
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] pman219:
If we're running 11 already with no apparent issues, is it acceptable to dirty flask 11.1 over it ?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] jagrave:
Awesome! And after I posted that, I answered my own question about installing root. Since your rom has root and all built in, flaking the Firmware doesn't change the system, thus keeping root. Should have thought more first. Thank you again!
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] BigBot96:
Yes you can.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] slvrbul:
Running 11-1, everything is running smooth. Battery is going down fast, hopefully a couple days to settle and it will be better !!!

Chief
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] BigBot96:
Can you tell me what services are running the highest under Settings > Battery? I know when Google Play Services updates, it can suck the battery dry for a while. Try a reboot or two, letting the device sit idle for a few minutes after each reboot.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] admiral70:
Remind me how to tell if I am on NE9? Can I tell in About?

I'm on version 8 of this ROM.

Thanks
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] BigBot96:
If you have not taken the OTA or have never flashed the NE9 firmware, then you are on NCG.

Also on the retail edition, go to Settings> About Phone> Baseband.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] slvrbul:
Yes I had already rebooted, cleared Cache and Dalvik now the battery is settling out. Android System is at 17% and Screen is at 16%. On my last reboot I Charged it fully and I will see how it goes.

Thanks for all the hard work you do, I will continue to run this ROM as I have since R3 !!!

Chief
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] admiral70:
I thought I flashed something. Mine says

G900VVRU1ANCG

I should be good to flash 11.1, is that correct?

Thank you very much.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Zixx:
0ish:factory wipe

1st:Flash 11.1

2nd: once 11.1 has been flash, reboot into download mode

3rd: flash via Odin [3.09] http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23610159112652201

4th: reboot

5th:tadaaaaaaaaaa you now are on NE9
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] BigBot96:
One thing to add: the file referenced is in a .zip format. You will need to extract the .tar.md5 from the .zip, then flash the .tar.md5 in ODIN.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Rickinsav:
TAR for V10, can I flash in ODIN?

I'm still bricked at the moment. I'm going to flash in ODIN, but was thinking about flashing SlymHyde instead of a Stock recovery. Do you know if this is possible? I don't see a tar or md5 file in the extraction of V10. Since that is what I am currently running, I thought about giving this a shot first, IF it's even safe to do so. As you can tell, I am taking my time because I only want to do this once AND I want to document it better for anyone else that follows in my footsteps...

Rick
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] isaacfinnegan:
Just upgraded to 11-1.

It appears the google keyboard is gone? Also the dark theme is gone?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] BigBot96:
You can't flash a ROM zip with ODIN. You'd need properly packed firmware. DO NOT FLASH NE9 Firmware package as it'lll lock your bootloader! I assume you need a stock recovery from another DevEd flashed back via ODIN.

I noticed I left out Google Keyboard on accident.. in my quest to fix my R11 issues I forgot to re-add it.. And I'm waiting to do the heavier theming on SystemUI until I can get the flashlight toggle to work.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] BigBot96:
2014-08-15

Release 11-2

REQUIRES NE9 FIRMWARE

Removed:

Bridge.apk (leftover knox)

SamsungLinkPlatform.apk (wakelock)

SCONE_Android_ProxyService_NoPersistent.apk (part of above wakelock)

Blurb.apk (WTF is it?)

SPPPushClient_Prod.apk (Don't need it)

Added:

Google Search bar on TouchWizHome homepage

Android L Keyboard is back (sorry!)

Added Flashable Options (located in Post 3:

Dark UI

Scrolling Wallpaper

Stock Lockscreen without widgets

No Call Recording

I've moved to a different versioning standard. For now on, minor updates such as this will be incremented with a "-#" and major version changes will result in an increment of the first number.

Example: So this minor release is Release 11-2. The next major change would result in Release 12-0. I won't want to end up with a ROM that has 20 "major" releases in under 3 months :laugh:
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] sem1845:
So I can't use 11-2 on my dev edition? I'm switching from Wizzle's rom

[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] BigBot96:
You may be able to. There was another user who reported it worked fine on theirs, but he/she ran into a Reactivation Lock issue after enabling that feature... but I think it had to do with their custom recovery because it reported Custom binary blocked by Reactivation Lock. Secure check fail: recovery. As far as I know, this has nothing to do with the ROM. This shouldn't be a problem for retail devices though since we cant have custom recoveries/kernels.

I'll see what I can do. Theming drives me nuts lol

Not yet.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] nybelle:
Sorry to reiterate, but I want to be 100% clear.

I'm on a G900V, 4.4.2, Baseband G900VVRU1ANE9. I've got Safestrap 3.75. To get SlymHyde installed, I need to:

1 - create a new slot

2- flash SlymHyde

3- reboot into Download mode

4 - flash firmware using ODIN

5 - good to go!

Did I get that right?

Thank you...
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Rickinsav:
RL FIXED!!

UPDATE:

Just wanted to follow up to let everyone know that I have fixed the "Custom binary blocked by Reactivation Lock" error that had bricked my device.

I downloaded the recovery file (I'll update with a link to this file)

I flashed with Odin 3.0.7 (PDA)

It FAILED. (I expected this)

I unplugged USB, pulled the battery out

I put it back in, booted into stock recovery with Power + vol down.

Selected Normal Boot

Everything Fine!

Went to settings and turned off RL. LOL

Restarted Phone with normal Power Off menu - still fine

After reboot, opened SuperSU, still showed QuickBoot with root access

Opened QuickBoot, tapped on Recovery

It booted into TWRP (I'm on 2.7.0.0) - no problems

Rebooted again. No more error when booting to custom recovery

Profit!!!

** the battery pull trick after Odin flash fail I picked up from the Note 3 forums **

** If you have SECURE FAIL: KERNEL, you may need to perform a factory reset during the first boot after battery pull! **

A big thanks to all those who helped me via the forums and PM!

** Sorry for the off topic comment. ** Still running V10 SlymHyde!
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] BigBot96:
Glad you got that all sorted out. Lesson: reactivation lock is dangerous for a device with custom recovery or kernel. :good:
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Crsdr37:
For anyone who wants it. This is not my work just pulled from an international ROM. This is the Blue and black dialer that comes with the international variant of our device. Already tested and works great! Simply copy the files and paste them into to their respective folders under /system/app and /system/priv-app. Rename or delete the originals set permissions and reboot! I would make a zip but in at work all day! Side note there is a file called SecContacts_Phone_FLAGSHIP_USA.apk.apk rename this to .old or delete it as well or you will not get the themed dialer.

Every since I switched to new firmware, on this and the release before this in getting (unfortunately com.systemui had closed) or something to that nature having to do with system ui when I have location on. Is there a fix for this? Great work, I love the rom just trying to work around this for now
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] zipkicker:
After i flash the rom, should i reboot completely, then flash the new firmware? or is it ok just to go right to download mode from SS?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] killa408shark:
Just reboot to download mode from SS after you flashed the ROM
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] BigBot96:
Do a dirty flash of R11-2 over top your current install. If you still have issues, wipe and clean flash. I had contacts get corrupted after switching to ART that persisted after reverting back to dalvik. I dirty flashed r11-2 and rebooted and it fixed that issue. Switched to ART again with no issues.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] jagrave:
Can 11-2 be dirty flashed to begin with if on 11-1?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] mmw68666:
Yes you can dirty flash if you are on 11-1

[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] jagrave:
Thank you. I thought so, but wanted to make sure.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] nybelle:
I installed 11-2 and didn't flash any firmware - was that right? Things have been working fine, except for:

1) when I reboot from 11-2 the phone gets stuck on a black screen. I have to force reset by holding down and power to reboot

2) I can't toggle Location to off, and I can't change it from Battery Saver to High Accuracy

Any thoughts?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] BigBot96:
The instructions state you NEED to be on the ne9 firmware. If you never have, then do it and reflash r11-2
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] nybelle:
I was already on NE9, which is why I figured I didn't need to do it again.

How to fix the Location bug? It's super annoying.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] BigBot96:
I'm unaware of a location bug. Can you add more detail so I can try to reproduce the issue?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] nybelle:
How strange. I just went to try it again to make this a clear post, but location is now toggled On and I can change it to Off. Previously, it was stuck on On, Power saving mode, and I couldn't make any changes.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] nybelle:
what are people using for Messaging? I'm using the stock app, and don't love it.

When I go back to the message list from a specific text, it takes 5-7 seconds for the list page to appear; the phone freezes. Any idea why?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] evilhunter101:
Only ever encountered this problem on a S4. Somehow the message trimming settings got turned off and there was around 30k combined sms and mms built up (over 10k in one thread! Lol). Turned that back on and problem solved. No idea if you have this issue, just throwing out an idea.

Hi,

I know you hate theming but if you could I've been trying to find this forever but I'm dying for a dark themed stock SMS that actually works with different colored bubbles.... If you could do this you'd be the man... They have a themed dialer already but not SMS ... Thanks for an amazing ROM !

I got my Samsung calendar and memo to now sync. I installed a couple of Samsung removed apps that were removed from this program. All works now.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] BigBot96:
Just curious: which ones? Samsung Link Platform and Samsung Push Service?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] artjrv:
Yes I believe they were the ones. So maybe your next version you may want to add those back in so people can use, if they choose to, the Samsung calendar and memo feature in addition to the Geo News app. Thank you.

I just want to also say I enjoy using your software! It runs great so far with no problems. Thank you for your hard work in this program! !
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] BigBot96:
Odd as I'm able to sync calendar with no issues. I don't use memo so I can't test that. The reason I removed those is they were causing a wake lock keeping "Android System" with high battery usage.

Samsung Push Service is downloadable via Play Store for future reference.

I can see is adding Link Platform back will cause a wake lock, but I'm thinking it will.

I'm glad you're enjoying it and glad you got those few issues sorted.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] JAWheat411:
I used the All In One tool in this forum to restore any bloatware that I want. The bloatware is listed in one big zip but you can install just the ones you choose. I have no problem with the Samsung or Verizon apps.

[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Rickinsav:
Mr. Hyde, I'm back running your v10 and love it. It's smooth and I really like the combo of features you baked in. I'm on NCG firmware and running a Dev Ed so after my near-brick experience, I am taking my time. Is this version running on ART or Dalvik? How can I tell?

Is it possible that the firmware on my phone (on v10) could revert from ART back to Dalvik based upon packages such as XPOSED that are installed? FTR I don't have Xposed installed.

Thanks for a great ROM. I've tried Alliance, Syndicate (not his new Extreme version), Wizzle, and Jasmine. For me - this one is the best.

Rick
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] BigBot96:
Welcome back!

All stock ROMs initially run dalvik but you have the option to switch to ART in the developer options screen. To get there: Settings > About. Tap on Build Number 7-10 times until it tells you developer options is enabled. Go to Settings > Developer Options . Tap Select Runtime system, then tap ART. Your phone will reboot and take about 10 minutes while it updates everything.

And yes, xposed breaks ART.
