When you flash .tar files with Odin, "AP" is what you use. If you can get back into SS, just wipe, and flash everything again, but only use the stock Rom slot. If you can't get back into SS, then you'll need to flash a kitkat kernel, use the one with your Rom backup you already made, the NI2 one probably, with Odin. Then you can either restore your backup, or start all over. Again, do not try making a Rom slot in SS, many reports of things not going well are out there, and take the time to read and re-read before flashing stuff on your phone. You may end up with a very expensive paperweight! :(
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Nerva:
Yeah, I was able to flash the retail NCG, had an easy time rooting and installing SS, but couldn't get past the first screen when I tried flashing the OC4_FW_BigBot96.tar.md5 again. I just flashed NCG a 2nd time and will just put OptimumROM in the "stock" slot this time.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Badger50:
Glad you got it worked out. Make sure to flash the OC4 kernel in Odin after you've flashed the Rom in the stock slot in SS. Then you should be good to go :)
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Nerva:
For some reason I can't boot to SS. All I get is a crude interface like Clockwork.... I guess it probably is CW.

I tried installing the SS apk again, and the app says "Safe System: Not Active".
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Badger50:
Does it look like this when you open the app? And, what kernel and firmware are you running right now. The "crude interface" you mentioned sounds just like how it's supposed to be :)
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] BigBot96:
If you're on Lollipop then this is normal. The LP kernel does not allow SS to load. The recovery you are seeing is most likely the stock android recovery.

To get back to SS you need to flash a KK kernel in ODIN.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] WhiteReign:
Only thing is wrong is my "Next Laucnher" Stoped working. I paid fore it but it still says nope you didn't and gives me the Light Verizon. :(
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Nerva:
Okay, I think I get it now... so the NK2 kernel was Kitkat, while the OC4 kernel is Lollipop?

Is there a popular custom kernel that combines the latest Lollipop features with the ability to use custom recovery?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] BigBot96:
With our locked bootloaders, no. :crying:

and yes, NK2 = KK, OC4 = LP
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Nerva:
It's frustrating that I can't use Safestrap to make a full backup of my phone.

What did they change between KK and LP, and why can't xda-developers just make a custom LP kernel, in the same way they make custom ROM's that allow apps to access the SD card?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] BigBot96:
I don't know the ins and outs of why SS won't work, but I believe it has something to do with how SS hijacks the boot process. SS would have to be updated also, but the developer (hashcode) has discontinued work on it.

As for custom kernels, the bootloader on the retail sm-g900v is locked, meaning there is no way to modify anything outside of the ROM itself. Also, there has not been a bootloader exploit found that will crack it. This is the reason we require SS, since we are restricted from flashing an actually recovery image to the device.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] jrv331:
I use SS to routinely make back ups and they restore just fine. It's not that big of a deal with the ni2 kernel app.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] BigBot96:
Could you provide a link to the ni2 kernel app you speak of? I'm intrigued.

I am staying with kitkat... my apps don't play nice with lollipop, yet [MENTION=4549354]BigBot96[/MENTION] what kernel should I use for R12-6 rom, please? thank you! I flashed NI2 kernel after installing the rom, fingers crossed for the battery life
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] johnnytraveler:
Just wanted confirmation that I'm doing this right (help an old guy out). <br />

I'm coming from Ricks Rom which is a Lollipop BOA8. <br />

<br />

So: <br />

1. In odin flash nk2 kernel so that safestrap (ss) works. <br />

2.In ss backup, wipe, Flash Optimal 13.1<br />

3.Back into Odin and flash OC4 tar. <br />

4. Back to ss to flash extra toggle zip. <br />

5. Back to Odin to flash OC4 kernel. Reboot. <br />

<br />

Note: Duplicate post from the Q&A section.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] evilryry:
After step 3: let rom boot.. Then either use flashfire (Google if you don't know what it is) to flash extra toggle zip (don't need to fool with odin again and saves alot of time) or flash nk2 kernel again reboot back to ss flash zip, flash back oc4, reboot, enjoy.

I checked in About Phone, just now, my device has been up for over 109:39:34 The numbers are counting by the second in 'up time'. So it's been over a hundred hours since I have turned off or restarted my phone, can't remember which. I never get a random restart. I have amazing battery life.

extreme debloating zip by Elliwigy

Thanks guys, great job.

I got rid of the ROM slots I made in SafeStrap. This Verizon Samsung Galaxy S5 beats anything I've ever seen. It whips through the gallery, at this point, because I only have 20GB of stuff on the 128 GB MicroSD card.

I never thought I'd say it, but that day I was thinking of, back when I had Xperia X10 and started flashing Android 2.0 and 2.1 was a big deal, the day is finally here, that I don't need no stinking computer. It's still not a perfect world, having to use a computer if I want to change my ROM. If not for the locked bootloader, a custom recovery would totally allow me to use my old PC for target practice. I think it'd be fun to see one get shot up on YouTube.

As happy as I am with my S5, in addition to how extra complicated it is when you have to flash kernels, before you can flash anything else, I see this working just like it is, and I'm going to shoot for a big 'up time'. .... 109:55:56 .......

Looking into it. I may not include it in initial release as I'd like to get this released, but It could very well be a minor -2 or -3 update. Same with flashlight toggle, since I don't use the toggle anyways. The widget works just as good if not better for me.

Seems a bit more responsive, but could be the fact that my phone has been wiped.

Thanks Mr. BIG BOT.

Off topic but what browser do you recommend with this ROM? I HAVE been using stock as I haven't had time to experiment.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] heleos:
I looked through your updater-script and didn't see any firmware flashing, unless it doesn't occur there?

Edit: nevermind, I see that there's a separate fw zip for coming from KitKat. If coming from a 5.0 rom do you still recommend flashing oe1?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] BigBot96:
I use Chrome as it syncs my bookmarks and what not, but the stock browser is pretty decent.

I would flash OE1 just so you have the latest radio/modem
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Quie2TP:
Okay, I flashed the firmware through flashfire and the unknown security notification has not returned. Just an FYI in case anyone else encounters this.

I was on BOC4 before flashing this rom. I followed the install instructions and all went smooth. I installed the rom and flashed the oe1 kernal right after. Booted and set up fine. I went into settings and noticed the baseband version is still BOC4. Should it be OE1? Thanks!
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] MeetFace:
If you've really flashed the firmware (and it worked) you should see OE1 in the baseband line.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Eco_Minded:
That's why I'm confused. I flashed the firmware and the rom is running fine. Just says BOC4.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] BigBot96:
Flashing the kernel is not the same as fashing the firmware package. Baseband is the modem/radio, which is included in the firmware package as a .tar.md5 flash able in ODIN.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Eco_Minded:
Ohhhh ok. So I should be fine then right? You only have to flash the firmware package if coming from kitkat correct?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] heleos:
Bigbot recommended flashing the firmware package anyway, even if you are on lollipop, since you should be running boe1
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] BigBot96:
You would be fine, but it wouldn't hurt to flash the latest firmware. You'd at least have the latest baseband.

[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] bink1r:
I'm having a similar issue. I'm on the dev edition (running Ktoonsez Kernel) and I've been stuck on the splash screen as well. I was able to flash 14.1 and boot up no problem.

Even though I dirty flashed over 14-1, I still needed to flash OE1 using Odin. Then I forced the phone off and restarted fresh. I noticed that the phone would hang at the Samsung boot screen if I didn't force the phone off.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] BigBot96:
Indeed... I can verify this. Going to pull 14-2 for now.

This I can't verify. I dirty flashed my wife's OR13 with 14-2 and flashed the OE1 kernel via safestrap and had no issues booting. Same on mine from 14-1 --> 14-2
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] bink1r:
OK. I flashed 14.1 and let it boot up and went through the set up. Once that was done I flashed 14.2. Everything booted up after about 3 minutes. After letting everything settle in, I loaded my apps and used an app called cache mate to clear my cache.... Bootloop. I'm not smart enough to figure out why, but it definitely seems that the problem with the bootloops seems to be connected to clearing the cache. Again, I'm on the Dev Editon. I hope this helps.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Quie2TP:
I flashed 14-1 with flash fire, then the firmware through flashfire with no issues. I then dirty flashed 14-2 over the top with flash fire and my kernel says the same as my wife's phone all stock and on the latest build.
