I sure hope so... :P Files are being copied to the extSDcard now.

I've seen several people say they have flashed various 4.4.4 "ROMs" on the Dev Ed, but the key is the recently upgraded kernel in order to be able to boot. But confusion is what is ROM versus 'full firmware or TARs'. I know what a TAR is (coming from UNIX and OS X), but wanting to make sure the stock bootloader isn't part of the file on the OP.

I looked in the archive (zip file), and I only see boot.img, which contains the kernel. Is this considered the "bootloader"?

If so, can I just delete that from the updater-scripts, and still just flash the ktoonsez version instead, or will some version/file check squawk if I mess with it?

Thanks!
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] trueagle:
You got it right. Modem only on odin the rest flash in the order you mentioned. Wipe dalvik and cache then reboot
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] AKMacAddict:
Woo hoo!!!

Ok folks, five minutes after the process started, I am on 4.4.4 NI2, running solidly on my Developer Edition phone! Copied the Odexed version from the OP, and the ktoonsez 10.07.2014 to my extSDcard.

Booted into TWRP, did a "factory reset" wipe. Was debating if I should do more. For good measure, wiped the cache and Dalvik, too. Took about a minute total.

Went to install and selected the ROM. Pressed install a second time to add the ktoonsez kernel to the queue.

Hit 'go' and about three minutes, it was done. For good measure, I opted to wipe the cache and Dalvik a second time.

Hit 'Reboot' and held my breath. Phone started, the Samsung splash animation played and moved on. The Verizon splash was on screen about four minutes, then phone started just like new!

BeansTown106's ROM rocks! Notifications told me my VM had been updated (to the VVM Basic) and best of all VoLTE was on by default!!!

I made a few test calls and they are routing properly on the correct network. For example, *86 for VM, 611, setup of YouMail forwarding, etc.

A VERY happy camper. Thanks to all the various comments across the threads and here, too.

[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] AKMacAddict:
Feel a boat load of relief... I've jailbroken Apple 'stuff', modded my Nexus devices, and even an old Droid. Never hard bricked anything. I was just super sensitive to screwing up with this S5, not being familiar with Samsung. I was beginning to regret going with the Dev Edition, but now glad I did when I saw how easy it is to mod!

Thanks!
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] JAYNO20:
So did you just delete the boot.img out of the zip file before installing everything?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] evilryry:
Nah, isn't necessary. On the dev, you just have flash the desired kernel after rom so it will overwrite the stock kernel it flashes from retail. Then it's all ok

I did just that... didn't fool with modifying the build and didn't have any issues. I hadn't done it before, but queued up both zip files in TWRP, the ROM first and the kernel second. It flashed one right after the other...

IS anyone having problems with this ROM, connecting to Uconnect (Jeep/Dodge, etc)? See this thread for a description of the problem:

http://www.wranglerforum.com/f40/and...ct-472897.html

The gist of this seems to be that Samsung "broke" something in their 4.3 release relative to bluetooth connectivity and phone calls, and that has carried over to 4.4. It was supposed to have been fixed in 4.4.4, but I (and others, according to the mentioned thread and other threads I've seen) are still having this problem.

Any thoughts?

[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Ibuprophen:
The only way you can do that is if you have an Unlocked Bootloader...

If your Bootloader is Locked, Knox will prevent this from happening and, if you attempt it (with a Locked Bootloader), you will take the chance on possibility Soft/Hard Bricking your device.

[Verizon LG G3] simp165:
I'm fairly new to messing about with my phones. I've only ever had pure Google devices up until this point. Now the crux of my current problem lies with the fact that the majority of my office building uses Verizon. So, while I get a solid 2-3 bars of LTE, actual use is basically impossible due to signal noise (-113db). With my previous phone I could force it into 3G abs I would get decent service. However the G3 does not have this option. Is there any way to accomplish this with the G3? I'm basically at my wit's end here.

Thanks,

These forums have been invaluable to me. You guys amaze me. If you could help with this, I would be forever grateful.

Phone

: Verizon Galaxy S3, rooted, CM10.2

Problem

: I have suddenly run into a problem where only some of my apps (1) do not retain any of their data after a reboot and (2) do not stay frozen (I've tried freezing with Titanium, Lucky Patcher, Root Uninstaller Pro, etc.) after rebooting (they do keep their data and remain frozen until I power my device off). ONLY the apps I installed on or after about two weeks ago have this problem (i.e. apps installed before that do not have this problem). So basically every time I reboot my phone apps installed over the last two weeks look like I've never used them (for example, a notepad app that I used extensively before rebooting shows no notes).

Solutions Attempted (without success obviously)

:

1.) Uninstalling problematic apps, rebooting phone and reintalling

2.) Doing a full factory reset via CWM recovery, wiping all caches, and restoring a nandroid backup that was taken before this problem arose.

Question

: Is there anything that I can do to resolve this problem or do I need to get a new phone?

Thanks,

Jenna :)

[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wavelet:
I just tried rooting an S5 Plus; SM-G901F, unlocked Singapore Singtel-branded version I just bought here in Israel.

OS is stock Samsung TouchWiz Lollipop 5.0.2, which is what I received the phone with. The AP/CP/CSC info yielded by *#1234# is what it should be according to SamMobile. Phone showed "Official" status prior to the rooting attempt.

I have the exact same problem as Zefania below. I get the exact same messages in Odin's Messages window, using the Odin 3.07 version packaged in Chainfire's archive. I also tried Odin 3.09 (same behavior) and 3.10 (Odin doesn't run at all). I tried several times, with the same results.

At least the phone didn't get bricked :) , although device status is of course now "Custom".

I saw somewhere that the "reactivation lock" feature could be an issue, but it was not set on mine.

Note:

Since I don't have convenient access to a PC, I'm running Odin under Windows emulation on a Mac (Windows 7 under VMWare Fusion), but I doubt that's the issue; the phone is always recognized immediately, and after the failure, when the phone was rebooted, it did show a message saying something like "CF Auto Root restoring the previous image", so that did make it onto the phone.

I also noticed that Chainfire's site still has a single file archive for the SM-G901F, the one for KitKat .

Nightryder, DaSander -- I understand it worked for you. What countries/carriers are your phones? Maybe it doesn't work on carrier-branded phones? Ironically, one fo the reasons I want to root isn't to flash a custom ROM, just remove some Samsung, SingTel & Google bloatware...

Main reason, however, is to allow using S6 themes on the device -- the Lollipop all-white-background color scheme, besides being tiring to look at, is simply killing my battery.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wavelet:
OK, sorry for quoting myself, but it turns out that despite Odin's displaying the "FAILED" message, and the phone not rebooting and needing the battery removed to power off, after rebooting it twice the phone is indeed rooted :o ...

Hey guys

The first time i tried to root my s5 i got the "seandroid is not enforcing" problem. Luckily i could fix it. Now i wonder what i did wrong. Im guessing i had either problems with "loose contact" because i heard the "device has disconected sound" while rooting it

OR

that my phone has a locked bootloader cause i read on chainfire:

"UNLOCK BOOTLOADERS

If you have locked bootloaders, flashing one of these will probably brick your device - with the exception of Nexus devices, which will usually automatically "OEM unlock" and wipe your data !"

[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pilep:
Don't know how to fix it

So, I kinda screwd my S5.

Long story short;

I rooted it with ChainFire to gain Root Access and went to install Xposed Framework, then tried to install Xposed Framework.

I had to do this manually, since ChainFire didn't support install zip (as far as I could see, was lazy and in a hurry). So I stumbled upon FlashFire. Tried installing Xposed Framework with this.

That's when it all went bad, my device booted and just stayed with "Samsung" in the display.

Because I was a dumb **** and rooted many devices before without any problems I thought "no backup needed". Well... here I am.

So I tried using Odin to flash back the original firmware for my SM-G901F G901FXXU1CPE1 but it doesn't matter (tried both the PHN and the VDF region firmwares, I am from The Netherlands).

Then I thought ok, CMMod it is, so flashed to CWM Recovery and downloaded http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s5/development/rom-unofficial-cyanogenmod-13-galaxy-s5-t3281502

It is working fine and all except for one very important thing; Security tab will crash on open up.

Can anyone help me or knows what to do? My device was android 6.0.1

All I need is an empty backup of a S5 device which I can reinstall via CWM Recovery (I don't know if this will work, but maybe it does) or if I really messed up I need a solution for the security tab not working in CM13

Sorry for my English, it is not my first language.

Sorry if this in the wrong section, first post decided to join with my problems and hope to stay and contribute afterwards :)

I will go on a vacation tonight for 2 weeks so I hope maybe someone will notice it meanwhile.

and then to flash:

heimdall flash --RECOVERY recovery.img --CACHE cache.img.ext4

Note: After getting the pit file, I restarted the phone back into download mode as I wasnt sure about the --resume flag.

Oh also, I compiled the latest heimdall off of git. None of the packaged versions would work. I assume this would be simpler with Odin but I have no idea.
