[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] joeldroid:
Development Temporarily Discontinued

I'm sad to say that I will be discontinuing the development of JoelDroid S5.

The main reason is, that I have become bit more preoccupied with my personal life and priorities.

The second reason is that I have switched back to Kitkat (XXU1ANJ1), just couldn't stand the Lollipop colors and white background and the lack of Xposed framework. Since I wont be updating my device back to Lollipop there is no point me just putting up releases without testing.

but mainly I have more personal commitments and less time to develop these.

I had a wonderful time here in this thread, and thanks for all the feedback and kind words.

[UPDATE] I will be back when Stock 5.1.1 is available for Galaxy S5

Cheers

Joel.

Install Instructions

Your phone needs to be rooted and should have a custom recovery

As far as recoveries go, I highly recommend TWRP use the following link to get the latest TWRP for S5 and use it with the above method.

Take a Nandroid backup, better be safe than sorry.

Take an EFS Backup using wanam's EFS Backup App

Copy your EFS backup for safe keeping.

Copy ROM to sd-card and boot to recovery and flash, after flashing DO NOT reboot, but power off.

Press vol down + home + power and reboot into download mode and install the provided bootloader and modem, flashing the modem is optional but your current modem has to be a lollipop modem or else you wont get a signal. But flashing the given bootloader IS A MUST, without the necessary bootloader the ROM will not boot, see post #4 for detailed Odin flash instructions.

Download JoelDroid S5 2.6.1 XXU1BOD3

Download BOD3-BL-BootLoader

Download BOD3-CP-Modem

NOTE: If the ROM does NOT boot for you, then you probably forgot or did not correctly update your bootloader...
