Glad you got it sorted. However, I'm not the developer of the NI2 flasher app. Questions regarding it are best put in the support thread for the app.

Anyone able to give 15-1 a try yet? My wife is out of town for several days and that's the phone I was using to test HD voice (as mine has worked flawless this whole time).
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Tomcat2737:
Sorry about that. I realize that, just figured you might have some insight cause I was lost. LOL

Still only can access Safestrap through Odin though

I looked through my old downloads and found OC4_Extra_Toggles.zip. Can I run this on 14.4 OE1
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] gedavis:
I flashed the beta HD calling is not working but I tried to enable it on 0E1 and it said it was enabled but didn't work. So I flashed the beta (clean install ) when I tried to enable it it said it was already enabled on my line shut off the phone and restart but nothing happened. Also I have no supersu app but still have root access to everything just with no su prompt. I tried installing it from the play store updated binaries reboot and couldn't get root access so I uninstalled it and got back root access. Everything else seems to be running smooth and working as it should
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] pyroelite:
Same for me regarding HD calling. Still no worky.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] NotATreoFan:
Though I cannot test VoLTE, I figured I'd give the ROM a try. Dirty flash w/ cache clear went fine, but after booting up, I got a warning that unauthorized system changes were detected and to reboot in order to fix them. I didn't reboot yet.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] johnnybg00d:
I haven't gotten a chance to install this ROM yet, but while on 14-4 I did NOT have HD calling. So I tried Jrkruse method as follow and got HD calling. I'm still battling other issues (like my wifi connected but no data/internet - had to reboot to get it working again), but have anyone tried this and then install this ROM 15-1 to see if this work with HD?

"If your comming from KitKat or cannot get HD Calling working you may have to flash this VZW_BOG5_RETAIL_FULL_FIRMWARE_WITH_BOD5_BL.tar.zip then activated HD calling then Flash NCG_Rescue_Tar_And_NCG_For_Root.tar and start over with rooting procedure" - JRKRUSE
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Quie2TP:
I had this happen to me on an earlier version and I needed to flash the firmware. Once I did that it was all good.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] kitkat_chachacha:
I tried flashing this with flashfire, didn't seem to do much. Added the download booster, but not the flashlight.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] NotATreoFan:
I'm already booted up on 15-1, based on OG5. Do I need to flash anything other than the OG5 firmware?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] tangoboyz:
Thanks for trying! I wasn't sure if it would break anything if i flashed. Thats what I'm really missing, the flashlight.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Tomcat2737:
How is version 15? Any review of the lastest edition?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] BigBot96:
Don't need to do anything else. Only the OD5 bootchain if you want the latest, safe-to-flash bootchain.

[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] kenjoma:
I am a little confused on the latest rom...what is the OG5_fw_NO-BOOTLOADER_BigBot96.tar.md5?

In the previous versions, we flash the rom and then the kernel...when does this thing come in to play (OG5_fw_NO-BOOTLOADER_BigBot96.tar.md5)?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] CamCroz99:
Is this flashfire flashable? All I see is safestrap and am wondering if it's a compatibility thing or just a preference.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] BigBot96:
That's the firmware package (kernel, recovery, modem, non-hlos) that does not include the bootchain. This is how it's been since the OE1 update.

Answer is in the instructions, twice.

RETAIL

If coming from KitKat firmware (4.4):

You can use FlashFire if you wish, but this guide will focus on using SafeStrap

...

If you are ALREADY ON Lollipop firmware (5.0):

You can use FlashFire if you wish, but this guide will focus on using SafeStrap

Everyone, please make sure read

every word

of the instructions and original post. Everything regarding installation is answered there.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] CamCroz99:
Ok. Thanks
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] kenjoma:
So do I just flash the rom and then OG5_fw_NO-BOOTLOADER_BigBot96.tar.md5

The only reason this is confusing me is because since oe1, i always just flashed the rom and then I flashed the kernel from the link you provided us ([GUIDE] Safestrap access WITHOUT Odin)
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] BigBot96:
Since you had OE1, that means you are already on Lollipop firmware. Just follow the instructions under the Lollipop section. That section doesn't mention the firmware at all.

RETAIL

If coming from KitKat firmware (4.4):

You can use FlashFire if you wish, but this guide will focus on using SafeStrap

Download *_fw_bigbot96.tar.md5 to your computer

Download OptimalROM_*_BigBot96.zip to your SD Card

Reboot to SafeStrap and MAKE A BACKUP!!!

Flash OptimalROM_*_BigBot96.zip and reboot to Download mode / Bootloader mode / ODIN mode

Flash *_fw_bigbot96.tar.md5 via ODIN in AP slot and reboot back into Download mode / Bootloader mode / ODIN mode

[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] NotATreoFan:
I flashed the OG5 firmware this morning on top of the 15-1 Beta I was running and the popup about unauthorized system changes went away. So I would definitely recommend people flash that firmware if going to 15.x.

On a different note, I just flashed the ODEX version of 15 and am having some issues.

On first boot, after the 300 some apps optimized, I was prompted to update the SuperSU binary, no big deal and it went fine. I was also getting an FC loop of Gapps, which stops after you press OK around 50 times, but no Google apps seem to work. Trying to get a logcat app installed to capture the details.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] BigBot96:
I had this issue too my first time around flashing it and it went away after a wipe. May be due to going from deodex --> odex. I'd try a clean flash to see if the issue resolves.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] NotATreoFan:
Since I managed to get a logcat app installed, it stopped happening. Rebooted twice and was even able to install 10 app updates. Go figure.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] damagi123:
tried 15-1 then tried toggles mod and theres no flashlight and mms mods and that made messages crash every time, probably due to odex
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] johnnybg00d:
Hi Bigbot -

I am using your 15-1 beta deodex and found something weird. Actually it happened on previous rom too, but did not verify it on other rom, only found out this time time around. I'm on the latest BOG5 firmware and the only way to fix this is to reboot the phone.

When I have WIFI ON, internet is fine.

When I turn OFF WIFI and use data, internet is fine too.

Turn ON Mobile Hotspot from data, internet is fine too.

BUT...., If I were on WIFI AND internet is fine, I turn ON Mobile Hotspot. I got a warning saying that "turning on Mobile Hotspot will turn off WIFI". I press OK and check internet, it is fine. And this is where it gets weird, if I turn OFF Mobile Hotspot and turn ON WIFI, my WIFI connects but NO INTERNET. Check my router and router said phone is CONNECTED, but phone has no internet. Ping the phone from the other computer connected to the same router return fine. Phone cannot ping anything on the same router or to the internet. The ONLY WAY to resolve the WIFI internet now is to reboot the phone.

BUT.... if I were going from WIFI to Mobile Hotspot by turning OFF WIFI FIRST, WAIT a few second and then TURN ON Mobile Hotspot. When I go back to WIFI, it is FINE. I CAN connect to internet. It is only when I allow the system to turn OFF WIFI by itself to activate Mobile Hotspot will I loose my WIFI internet when I reconnect back to WIFI.

Do you know what is going on? It seemed like if the system turn OFF WIFI by itself to connect to Mobile Hotspot, it is also doing something more that when you turn ON WIFI it won't connect to the internet.

Hopefully you understand what I'm going through. It's been a few weeks like this that I finally find out the culprit.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] phonefreedom:
Hello,

I'm on 14-02 and found the same condition exists. I'm unable to access the internet via WiFi even if itoggle WiFi off and back on. I can see the handshake and router connection but it appears the IP routing gets lost. I'm wondering if either the routing table or DNS are not being refreshed when transitioning from Verizon back to the ISP the router is on?

I hope my thoughts help.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] phonefreedom:
Hello,

I did a little poking around and found that it I turn on download booster,

before activating WiFi hotspot,

the problem couldn't be replicated. When I turn off download booster, then turn on WiFi hotspot, then return back to WiFi, the failure returns. And then the only way to repair is to reboot.

I also tested the aggressive WiFi/cell handover under the developer settings and found it didn't influence the problem.

I apologize for the extra noise but since I use the hotspot function often, I felt it important to share.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] yhli17:
I got similar issue of wifi with MORE rom BOC4.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Morinzo:
Thx for the new updates!!

Not sure which one I want to try first on my 900R6..
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] careingemt:
Any ideas why I can not download the rom zip file
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Zixx:
Try using a different browser.

Our just download it in your PC/Mac, then just transfer it into your phone.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] BigBot96:
Here's another BETA. Same mods as in the ODEX release, just this one is deodex. Can someone who has been having trouble with HD calling give it a try? Clean flash this release and see if HD calling is enabled.

OptimalROM_15_deodex-beta_BigBot96.zip

You must use the OG5 kernel.

Thanks!
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] torr310:
Maybe your current ROM doesn't support downliad to SD. Try to change your browser setting to download to internal memory. Upon finish, transfer to SD card.

Another way try other browsers.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] pyroelite:
I had to run the app for sd card fix (says for kitkat).
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] mike2246:
1. Download and install NI2Flasher.apk

2. Download and copy G900V_*_Stock_KERNEL_SafeStrap-Flashable.zip to sdcard.

3. Run NI2Flasher and select flash.

4. Grant root access for NI2flasher

5. After the app flashes the NI2 kernel tap the reboot button.

----This will reboot your device directly to Safestrap.

6. BACKUP YOUR CURRENT ROM!!!

7. Flash OptimalROM_*_BigBot96.zip

7. Do NOT forget to flash the G900V_*_Stock_KERNEL_SafeStrap-Flashable.zip afterwards.

----If you do forget you can always select recovery at the Safestrap splash screen.

8. Reboot system after flashing kernel

for step 2 and 7 which two files do I download/Flash?

OA8, OC4, OD5, OG5?

does this newest version fix the Wi-Fi issues from 13.1? I can connect to Wi-Fi networks but it doesn't allow an internet connection.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] BigBot96:
the * denotes whatever version you want to flash. if OG4, then you'll want OptimalROM_OG4_BigBot96.zip and G900V_OG4_Stock_KERNEL_SafeStrap-Flashable.zip.. for example.

Just installed this ROM on my VZW GS5. Easiest ROM to install. All my user data and settings were already there (is this a feature of the ROM or did I do something wrong?). Seems super-fast and smooth. Big thanks to BigBot96 and others involved in this endeavor.

P.S. love the GS6 browser and keyboard.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] BigBot96:
If you didn't wipe data/factory reset then all of you data would have been preserved.

BETA

If nobody responds to the beta test a few posts ago by Monday I'm going to continue working on and complete the MODs, with HD voice working or not. I don't have another phone to test it on. :good:
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] tangoboyz:
Installing now and I will provide feed back. Do you have a .zip to flash for the extra toggles? I'm really missing the flashlight!!

I'm going to install the ODEX version just for reference.

Thanks for all your hard work!!!!
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] BigBot96:
Thanks for testing. Though for the test to mean anything it needs to be the beta build I posted earlier: OptimalROM_15_deodex-beta_BigBot96.zip :good: :laugh:

Oh and the toggle won't work on this build yet until I get the flashlight mod worked in.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] fanto3k4:
I can try the beta... I am on 14-4. Not sure if it's oxed or deoxed (see pic). Couple of questions : if the 14-4 is deoxed I can just do a dirty flash?, if 14-4 is oxed I need to do a factory wipe and can I do a TB restore for my apps or will that cause problems?, and do I need to flash the OG5 kernel or is it built into the ROM?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] BigBot96:
To test the beta for HD calling functionality clean flash 15 deodex beta and flash OG5 kernel. You can use Titanium if you'd like to restore your apps, it shouldn't cause any issues.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] fanto3k4:
I just remembered I have work issued phone and I don't have the ability to activate HD calling. I tried when HD calling first became available. Because I do not have access to the business account I could not turn of the feature. Don't think there is a work around. ?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] tangoboyz:
Ok I will give that a try but I do not have advanced calling. I will provide feed back once done.

Anyone have a source for a 4X5 TW Launcher? I tried my previous .zip on 15 and it caused TW to fail. THANKS!!!

**EDIT** I'm wondering if the 4x5 isn't working because I'm using the ODEX version. Installing Deodex now...
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] BigBot96:
I would not use a previous build launcher on this build.

:eek: You don't have HD calling? Ya know it's a free service from Verizon, right? Advanced Calling 1.0 | Verizon Wireless
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] tangoboyz:
OK, The launcher worked on 14 but no big deal. Any ideas where I could get a 4x5 for your 15 version? Maybe when you officially release it ;)...

I will have to look into Advanced calling... Didn't know it was a free service. Thanks!:D
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] fanto3k4:
Alrighty, I got HD calling added to my work phone... Could not get it to activate on. 14-4. I called Verizon to confirm the feature was added to my account. It was and he had me do a power down and restart. Still no love on my end. So I am not sure if HD was working on the release I am running. I guess I can try the beta and see if it works?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] BigBot96:
HD calling is broken in 14, which is why I'm doing public betas with 15 deodex
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] fanto3k4:
Sorry for not catching that in previous posts... I will give it a shot....

I'm gonna give the beta a try tonight, since I have 2 phones with HD calling enabled.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] fanto3k4:
Cool because I don't have anyone to try it with if I did get it working. If getting it to activate on the device is all that is needed I can still flash it. Might just hold off if you got it handled. Thanks.

[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] NotATreoFan:
Flash SuperSU from inside FlashFire and then launch it. You should be prompted to update the SU binary, choose Normal mode since we don't have CM/TWRP.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] johnnybg00d:
Actually the beta 15 ROM should have supersu built in already. You don't have to download it. I tried to download and update binary and lost root. Had to uninstall supersu. Download root checker by JRUMMY and it will tell you where your supersu file is located.

---------- Post added at 02:22 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:16 AM ----------

ROM version 15 works for me. I had HD calling before installing and dirty flash and still have HD calling. After initial reboot, it takes about a day or so for it to run smoothly.

Only thing, Xposed torch doesn't work with this ROM.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] sean19661:
Thank you worked used flashfire flashed su update.zip also inject su updated binary normal all good [emoji4]
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] NotATreoFan:
Excellent. I've had to do that once of twice when root gets messed up.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] sean19661:
Dose this mean HD is active ?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] johnnybg00d:
Go to your phone dial screen. If you see a camcorder then that means you got HD calling.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] fanto3k4:
I installed the beta and still could not get the HD calling to activate. I don't think it's the ROM's fault. I will have to call VZW again once I install the 15 non beta. Never have had to call VZW tech support with a rooted custom ROM device. Any issues I need to be aware of with the VZW tech and custom ROM?

This is the error I get when I hit the activate button.

[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] johnnybg00d:
Fanto,

It's not nice to post some other developer's link in someone else ROM discussion.

But just go up one level and look for jrkruse "Stock Verizon 5.0 BOG5 Based Lollipop Rom" and look for "....if your comming from KitKat or cannot get HD Calling working you may have to flash this VZW_BOG5....." section.

Follow that, turn on HD, verify you have HD, then reroot, install supersu, install busybox, install safestrap, and install this ROM from safestrap.
