This is exactly how it went down for me...

1. Place the G900V_OA8_100%_Stock_Rooted_ROM and G900V_OA8_TetherAddOn.zip onto your external sd-card.

2. Use Safestrap's "Backup" function to backup your User Data.

3. Next, press "Home" and perform an "Advanced Wipe" and wipe everything but your ext-sdcard.

4. Flash the ROM using the "Stock Slot."

5. Flash the G900V_OA8_TetherAddOn.zip using the "Stock Slot."

5. Once complete press "Home" then "Restore" and restore User Data. (if you did this right, the only thing there should be data, there should be not System Data to restore)

6. Last, press "Home icon" and Reboot into "Download Mode" and flash the G900V_OA8_Stock_Kernel in Odin's PDA slot(AP in Odin v3.09+).

Done!

The phone will pause on the Verizon splash screen for about 2 minutes after following the above process before completing booting.

Notes:

1. The above process will not affect your User Data or Knox Warranty Flag.

2. This Custom ROM process will update your Modem, Non-hlos, System, Kernel, Stock Recovery, and Bootloader to OA8.

3. Safestrap will no longer function after updating to OA8 5.0. However you can access Safestrap recovery on 5.0 by flashing back the G900V_NK2_Stock_Kernel (reflash the G900V_OA8_Stock_Kernel once you are done using Safestrap).

4. When flashing the kernel the most common cause of an Odin flash failure is a bad usb port or cable. Please check before reporting a failure!

Nice work on the video. I will add to OP.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] noamparn:
Better detail:

1. On a power-up (from full off), I get: "Process system isn't responding. Do you want to close it?" There are buttons for Wait and OK. Neither one fixes the issue for me, I have to do a battery pull, then boot into Safe Mode, then reboot again.

2. Every time I boot or reboot, my phone shows "Android is Upgrading... Optimizing app 1 of 1". It goes through, but I have no idea why that keeps happening. I did boot to recovery and wipe the cache partition, but that didn't help.

3. The auto-brightness level is much dimmer than it was on KitKat.

Any ideas (please don't tell me to do a wipe/reset - I really want to avoid that)? Are there any logs that might tell me what app it is trying to optimize? Can I just uninstall that app and re-install it?

Thanks.

[MENTION=4708661]muniz_ri[/MENTION] right now I'm on ricks rom NK2 can I update to lollipop from this rom or I have to go back to stock NK2 rom like you mentioned on the OP? Also is it really important to back up data or is it safe to start fresh (Do a factory reset on settings) before booting to safestrap?

Thanks
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] rickt1152:
Will this work without SS?

Ok, so the whole Safe Strap experience passed me by. I have a stock rooted S5 on NI2, no SS. I would prefer to keep root with the upgrade, but have no real desire to go the custom Rom route at this time. Is this possible? Also, if this will only work with SS installed first, can someone explain what the downside of using SS is? As I said, while I prefer to have root, it is something I can probably live without especially if there is a significant compromise with using SS.

Thanks
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] Tomsgt:
thanks that means a lot
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] muniz_ri:
I added a note to the top of the OP that should answer that question for everyone.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] killa408shark:
Thanks I totally missed that. What about the data? Is it really important to back it up?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] RyanS107:
Muniz_ri, I have gotten myself into a soft brick where I cannot get past the black & white Samsung screen. What do I need to do to get NK2 loaded back on and then restore in SafeStrap? Thanks.

Tried the tether add on. Phone got really hot and kept force closing. Couldn't even load up my home screen properly. Anyone else?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] kprice8:
Tbh. Mine didn't get hot because of it, but the updating marathon after? Yeah!
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] RiggsDaRuler:
So your tether works fine?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] kushpancake:
What exactly does the tether do?? Im a little confused about this...

BTW Finally figured out all my problems with flashing and I'm running 5.0 rooted. At some random times a notification pops up about "checking my battery cover" and phone runs a little hot. Anyone else having issues with this?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] chadmledford:

Auto-rotate doesn't seem to work

For some reason my auto-rotate doesn't seem to work.... followed all the steps to a T. Everything else is peachy though, anyone else have this issue?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] israphial:
I finally got it working after like 7 hours, at least 10 different flashes, and many tears and much blood shed. Thank god for Youtube.

Now I have to wait for Kies to restore my apps. I just want to sleep...

Reply to me if you need help with something. I basically went through the entire process 3 times so I know exactly what to do at every step of the way. Also, this video was my life saver: (search "How to update to Lollipop on your Verizon Galaxy S5 and Keep Root" to find the exact video. It's by rootjunky. com and only has like 300 views but it's perfect)

Key points: Make sure you root, make sure you get BusyBox Installer, and make sure you get Safestrap. This is all along the way. The video explains everything. Again, if you need help, reply to me or message me on reddit (username = israphial). I'll probably get back to you a LOT quicker on reddit.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] mrjiggywiggy:
1. I wiped my cache from recovery when that happened and it fixed it.

2. After a few reboots it should stop although I might be wrong.

3. You sure you aren't just in a dark place? I haven't noticed it.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] kprice8:
Yes, my Tether/WiFi works fine. My existing settings and such were retained, and I had to set up nothing.

Tether/WiFi is what you use to broadcast your Data from your plan. It was previously thought that there may not be a way to use this function without a 3rd party app. [MENTION=4708661]muniz_ri[/MENTION] made it so it's flashable in SS.

I did as I posted below with my modified event chain, and it worked like a charm.

There were a lot of updates, and yes it did get a bit warm, but it's cooled down.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] djdrews4357:
So i did the proccess last night its all installed and working fine but i just tried to play music through google play music and its giving me an error and cant play music i know quite a bit about rooting and custom roms but i dont know how to fix this
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] kprice8:
Did you update it? I noticed I had an update for it...Mine works fine as well..
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] RiggsDaRuler:
Wow. I wonder why my phone started acting up.... I followed instructions. But once I got back on the lollipop kernel.... My phone took forever to boot up, got really hot and kept popping up with system force close pop ups.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] kprice8:
Had you debloated your previous version of 4.4.4 ? That might be it. I only removed the verizon bloat on 4.4.4 this last time when I went from NCG to NI2. I upgraded straight from my version of NI2 after following [MENTION=4708661]muniz_ri[/MENTION]'s instructions. If you go back a page or so, I actually copied over the exact steps I used, per his OP and another clarifying that the TetherAddOn can be done after step 4, and before 5.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] terrigan:
Nice writeup! That's about how it went for me, except the tether flash zip. Didn't know it existed and edited build.prop.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] alphahere:
Thanks excellent directions. Took about 15 minutes. Root lollipop!
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] kprice8:
It was in the OP Terrigan. :P it was at the bottom of the OP. heh :D Glad it still worked out for you though!

Glad to be of Service. Credit should go to [MENTION=4708661]muniz_ri[/MENTION] I just modified his instruction chain a smidgen.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] RiggsDaRuler:
Yes. When I was on optimal ROM.. I used the purgeV1 to debloat. But I don't understand how that would affect anything after the update. Before I went to lollipop I did a complete wipe and Odin back to stock. Even lost root in the process. Going to search for your post and give it another shot.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] kprice8:
My thought was maybe it was relying on some of the other files that were already there, but if you odin'ed back to stock and then did this... idk..

also here you go.

This is exactly how it went down for me...

1. Place the G900V_OA8_100%_Stock_Rooted_ROM and G900V_OA8_TetherAddOn.zip onto your external sd-card.

[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] BigBot96:
Forgive me if this has been mentioned (don't feel like reading 17 pages) and correct me if I'm wrong, but Safestrap does not even touch those partitions. So flashing the ROM zip in SS would only flash the system partition (ignoring modem, non-hlos, recovery, and BL) and flashing the kernel in ODIN would update the kernel. All other partitions would remain at whichever firmware you're already on, including the bootloader. Am I missing something?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] kprice8:
I can't explain why or how, but he is correct. When I flashed the ROM via SS last night, it came up saying that all those mentioned items were updated.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] BigBot96:
What does your baseband show? Well perhaps a safer method would be to package them for ODIN now that the tar is released. http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/download/42780/G900VVRU1BOA8_G900VVZW1BOA8_VZW.zip/
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] kprice8:
[MENTION=4549354]BigBot96[/MENTION] See attachments please.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] BigBot96:
Cool. I guess SS flashes everything except kernel then? Thanks for the confirmation :good:
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] kprice8:
That's correct. Per what [MENTION=4708661]muniz_ri[/MENTION] said, flash the ROM and TetherAddOn in the SS Flasher, and then reboot to download, flash the kernel via Odin... wait 10 minutes for apps to initialize... enjoy the silky smoothness. :D
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] neil-:
This process worked perfectly for me. However my corporate email requires device encryption and I'm unable to get the device to encrypt properly. It displays the robot logo, says it'll reboot to encrypt and then reboots into a black screen with the blue notification light just pulsates. I have to pull the battery to get it to do anything else, at which point it says encryption failed and wipes the phone.

I've read that safestrap has issues with device encryption - I'm wondering if maybe safestrap is still installed but not working if thats what's causing the issue. I'm thinking of flashing the kernel back to NK2, removing safestrap and then reflashing the latest kernel.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] kprice8:
Neil,

This may be a 1 off case. I have Corporate Email that requires pass/encrypt, and I had no problems. Maybe double check that it is up to date, or the latest version. If so, then you may be right. Please do post up how it turns out.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] neil-:
Thank you very much for the input - Was yours setup prior to the update? I think I'm going to go back to full stock on NK2 and then root again, install safestrap and try it all over.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] kprice8:
Neil,

Yes it was. I was receiving emails all day prior, and am still receiving them now.

I did exactly as [MENTION=4708661]muniz_ri[/MENTION] specified but with the modified TetherAddOn flash as well (I need it ;) ) and after it all initialized the first time, it came back up just peachy.

Good luck sir.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] noamparn:
1. Now that there is a .tar for OA8, does that allow for an easier/faster/more stable process to upgrade with root?

2. Are there any alternatives to SafeStrap that are still being developed - that might work with 5.0?

Thanks.
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gil80:
Hi all,

I installed 5.0.2 TugaPower25 rom and Gapps.

When I open the camera app, I only have video and stills camera. I used to have panoramic, and tilt shift options as well. How can I get these options?

Lastly, what should I do to get Smart Lock option?
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Heisenberg:
I believe that's the aosp camera, not the Google camera, just download the Google camera from the Play Store.

Smart lock only works when you pair your phone with a trusted Bluetooth device, like a smart watch or some headphones. When you're paired and the Bluetooth device is close by the security lock on your phone will be disabled because it believes that you're the one using it. Just pair a Bluetooth device and you'll get a notification.

hello guys i have a question for you.

3 days ago i spilled beer on my nexus 4, fortunately not much beer! after i spilled the beer i run (with the speed of light i might say) to the bathroom to clean the beer of my phone. after that i put it in rice for 3 days.

today i opened my nexus and fortunately my nexus is a survivor!!! everything works fine as far as i can tell. so that brings me a couple of questions:

1. should i do anything else after the accident?

2. i have read on the net that some phones have liquid sensors in it. my phone is in warranty for the next few months. should i worry my warranty is void? if yes can i do something to fix it?

thank you in advance!

Do You have any problem in lollipop by flamingo.. because i observe something when i install it when i press the power button it locks but when i press it to unlock it turns to black screen and i cant see anything you can hear the sounds of volume up and down but i cant see anything so i reboot(power+volume up) it but it cant fix the unlock problem please reply me if you fix this problem..
[Sony Xperia E3] pedroj666:
It happens to me exactly the same situation you describe! :D

I had to change back to 4.4 because this error prevents the current use of the lolipop!

Try this, just flash the boot.img and system.img. Do not flash the user data.

Hi,

I upgraded my O2 XDA Exec to Jwrightmcps Crossbow ROM 2.01.06 without any problem. The only issue is poor sound with ringtones (I copied them in main memory, not using SD card) and TomTom6 (voice is "bumping" every 2-3 seconds when I get directions).

What should I do to solve the issue ?

Thank you :)

[Nexus 9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] doitright:
For this to work, your GMAIL account needs to have GOOGLE VOICE enabled with a PHONE NUMBER.

I'm not certain, but you might also need to have HANGOUTS DIALER installed.

When you do that, a new section will appear in the settings menu (after the google account synchronizes), BELOW the "HANGOUT NOTIFICATIONS" section, called "GOOGLE VOICE - {your google voice number}". In that new section, you will find two checkboxes; "Incoming phone calls", and "Messages". Add a check beside "Messages", and you will have SMS over Google Voice.
