[/COLOR [MENTION=4708661]muniz_ri[/MENTION] Is there a way that this formula can be used for a brand new device, flashing back to NK2 Kernel, flashing older Rom, rooting, install SS, flashing up?

[MENTION=5601139]Misterxtc[/MENTION] any input on this?

Hey muniz......what are the odds of getting safestrap to eventually work on lollipop? You did an amazing job continuing with its development, just wondering if it will continue. Thanks
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] :
I'm not sure but it sounds like it will work. I'm out of the loop with a unrooted Note 4 for now.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] muniz_ri:
yes, that works.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] elliwigy:
it popped up on my retail s5 and i just cancelled it and no issues lol
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] topaz330:
When we backup user data what exactly does that backup? I want to make sure my apps and text messages are backed up
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] tlutz24:
Thanks

Worked great for me when updating, no issues at all - so happy to be running lollipop finally!
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] TheMuffnMan:
Odd things I've noticed so far (~1 day into using it)

Screen rotation is broken

Hangouts is delayed sometimes (texts don't actually send?)

Not really sure what's going on with those items.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] kprice8:
FAIR WARNING

I was on Chat with VZW Tech support. As of now, they do not know why the Screen Rotation is screwed up. Their solution is to try everything in the book, and when it fails (all of it will) they will send you a "replacement" (refurb) with 4.4.4 and then you get to do the same dang thing all over again....

BEWARE
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] TheMuffnMan:
F**k that mess. I'll stick with the non-working screen for now haha. Thanks for giving me the heads up!
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] kprice8:
This is a general message to ANYONE. This is their "work-around" right now..

Your choice....

[MENTION=6388485]TheMuffnMan[/MENTION] Glad to be of help.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] alphahere:
My screen rotation works fine. I guess I am lucky. Since I can't return my phone to Verizon. I don't have a Verizon account.

Hardware version: G900V.05
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] kprice8:
can you SS your "about phone" page please and post it?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] blyfinn:
Sorry I'm a bit new to this. If i have taken the full update to 5.0 am i screwed and not able to follow the pervious directions to root? Any help would be great.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] kprice8:
I believe you should be able to flash an older ROM and Kernel, root, and re-upgrade by flashing the 5.0 update and kernel provided by [MENTION=4708661]muniz_ri[/MENTION]
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] :
No you are not. You need to Odin back a few updates and the method in OP should work fine. Odin back to nk2 I believe but wait for someone who really knows this stuff to confirm
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] kprice8:
While I know [MENTION=5601139]Misterxtc[/MENTION] is out of the S5 scence on a N4, the Master Flasher should be able to weigh in on that question I think...
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] kuronosan:
You know, if safe strap is based on TWRP, couldn't one just replace the zimage in the apk with the lollipop image?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] Mr. Boom:
Did this today. Everything is running smooth. Only issues were play services update and screen rotation. Play services was finally fixed by downloading the .apk from earlier in thread. Clearing data and cache did not work. Screen rotation isnt an issue to me. I use Nova, and rotation works just fine on it. Battery life seems similar.

Thanks muniz for this!:good:
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] lancem71:
I did find work around for a screen rotation I think....go to settings/display/rotation and turn if on. Worked for me but not sure what it does to battery life since it uses front camera.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] B. J.:
Does this work if you already lost root?

I installed the 5.0 update earlier today and already lost root. Can this re-root it or is there another method?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] Mr. Boom:
FWIW, on the TW homescreen there is no rotation, but in the apps it rotates. At least on mine.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] lancem71:
Yeah....was worth a shot
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] :
You need to Odin back to an older version like nk2 and achieve root there first, then you can use this post to upgrade to 5.0
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] s_cuttic:
It sounds pretty straight forward but a video would be helpful. I think I'm gonna wait a few weeks before I take the update.

A Tip For the Upgrade & A Problem with SMS Functionality

Hi Everyone,

Big thank your to [MENTION=4708661]muniz_ri[/MENTION] for putting this all together. Here is a tip that I found when making the upgrade.

For those of you experiencing buggy and sluggish performance, or who find themselves stuck on the Verizon splash page, or just past it, during the "Optimizing Apps for Android" page, make sure that you have plenty of free space on your phone.

After making the upgrade, I noticed that I was really struggling to get it to work, and the battery would overheat, and there was a lot of sluggishness. Also, the initial 2 minute wait time during the Verizon screen was taking much longer than 2 minutes. I noticed I had only about 360MB of free space on my phone. I wound up transferring all the photos on my phone to the SD card. Before I had done this, the "Optimizing Apps for Android" would never complete. It would start, hang up somewhere and then skip the rest. After freeing up the space, upon the next reboot, it flew through the entire process of optimizing apps, and all sluggishness was gone. Since then I've been a happy camper for the most part. It also helped to clear apps and their cache, but the single quickest and biggest improvement to overall performance was freeing up space. I'm not a programmer, but I'm speculating that during the optimization, there is a whole lot of "virtual disk" usage, and by limiting the amount of free space, you are limiting the phones ability to optimize and process everything that it needs to process. Hopefully this saves a bunch of people some headache.

Now on to my problem.

I'm traveling right now, and have swapped out my SIM card for a local SIM. Prior to the upgrade, everything was working fine with my local SIM. After the upgrade, I'm unable to send text messages. I can receive them, but I can't send them. I've tried using different messaging programs, from Verizon's Message+, to the stock Messages, as well as TextSecure Private Messenger, and all of the above have the same problem. They can receive text messages, but not send them.

I swapped my Verizon SIM card back into the phone to see if the issue would carry over, but it did not. I am able to send text messages with my Verizon SIM, but not the local SIM here. This lead me to believe that there could be some issue with the SMS Message Center being fixed to Verizon's Message Center, so I've been looking all over the settings menu for both the phone as well as the individual SMS applications, and I can't seem to find an option to change the SMS center anywhere.

Has anyone experienced any difficulty sending text messages? Anyone else roaming and using a different SIM right now? Anyone know how to change the message center in the new upgrade?

I'm posting the question here, because the problem seems related to the upgrade. Prior to the upgrade there was no issue sending messages with a different SIM, and now after the upgrade there is an issue. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you,

Bamboo
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] rotzy:
I have the rotation issue too. Has anyone tried reverting to 4.4.4 and then re upgrading to lollipop to see if it persists? Do you think it would help? I swear the rotation worked fine right after I upgraded and then stopped some time later. This is very annoying and I don't know if I can live with it, even temporally.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] Addicted2Droid:
I think I bricked my phone!!! I'm hoping someone can help me. I messed up and saved the 5.0 rom on my internal drive. I wiped everything and then I couldn't flash the rom. Now I can't even seem to boot into Odin download mode so that I can flash the previous version (NHA)

How do I get my phone back????
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] kprice8:
I upgraded from 4.4.4 .... my rotation doesn't work....
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] mrjiggywiggy:
Did you flash the OA8 kernel in Odin yet? Also, to boot into download mode on start just hold power down+home+volume. There shouldn't be any errors.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] 3volved:
I was told this would work for us unlucky enough to own the G900A,is this true?

What would I need exactly coming from [G900A/G870A][ROM][THEME][NI2][4.4.2] Dynamic Kat 4.0[GPE 3.0][10/13/2014]?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] kprice8:
If you've debloated, you will want to flash back to stock with root, enter SS, flash the new ROM, (the optional tether check if you want) and then go into odin mode and flash kernel..

WARNING, you risk bricking your device using a G900V ROM on a G900A device, and I will not be responsible for you following this or the OP about how to upgrade to 5.0...
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] noamparn:
I don't know if this helps, but I ad something similar with 4.4.4 when I traveled overseas, using a foreign SIM card.

I couldn't send texts to numbers that were in the "international dialing" format (with the + and the country code at the beginning), but I could if I typed the number in manually (in the local dialing format). Same thing for replies - I couldn't reply if the number was stored in my contacts in the int'l format.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] hakoreh:
Just start at the beginning, press home power and volume down to get into download mode
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] Addicted2Droid:
Ok I have my phone working again. It appears I have root access. Superuser is working. Titanium backup is working but I can't install busybox again. It's saying "I am unable to verify whether or not certain utlities needed for this application to run are present and functional on your device"

Any suggestions?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] hakoreh:
I remember I had that problem but I kept trying and eventually it went through. I think I did change one thing but I honestly forgot what it was. It was very subtle.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] Addicted2Droid:
I finally got it installed. I had safestrap so I removed that. I reinstalled busybox and let the smart install run, then I ran install. Letting the smart install run was probably pointless and more to do with safestrap but whatever the case, it works.!
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] kingoanklebreakn:
My screen rotation is working perfectly fine so maybe it isn't a very widespread issue.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] kprice8:
Will you post a picture of your phone "About Phone" section? On the off chance that some are different, I was hoping something may be in there..
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] Addicted2Droid:
mine too....damn google play services error though
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] rotzy:
Here's mine. Rotation NOT working. The only changes I've made to the system was to change platform.xml to allow Titanium Backup to write to the external SD, frozen a bunch of Knox/SDM stuff and I use AdAway. I doubt any of those would cause this.

I would revert back to KitKat and re-upgrade, but I am out of the country for a couple days and don't want to risk it without access to Verizon's network. I'm wondering if that might solve it considering not many people are experiencing it.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] sureshot007:
My apologies if this has been addressed already - I did a quick search, but only scanned the results.

I followed the instructions in the first post exactly, and everything works great! But...my memory is full, and I find that hard to believe. Is there still a partition for SafeStrap, or should that have been wiped and formatted during the initial install? If there still is a partition for it, is there any one to remove it without flashing back the old kernel?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] BigBot96:
Rotation working perfectly fine here. Only problem is Google Now won't says it's not available... but this wasn't a clean install so who knows what may be broken.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] Addicted2Droid:
Anyone having problems with the home button and the phone being very slow? My home button isn't working since the update. On certain occasions it will. It's also being very sluggish.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] :
To upgrade to lollipop, would it be smart to do a clean wipe of everything, then just download safe strap on a clean wipe then upgrade to lollipop and go from there instead of dirty wipes?.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] lickwid:
In order to get the Tivo app to run, I uninstalled SuperSU via the app. The Tivo appears to run the "su" command and if it fails, the Tivo App knows there's no root and will run properly. Unfortunately, after rebooting my phone, my phone hangs at the Samsung Launch screen. Flashed back to the NK2 kernel using Odin, accessed Safestrap and was able to flash the SuperSU.zip file. Then flashed back to OA8 kernel. But the phone still hangs at the Samsung Launch screen. So I'm bricked. I am going to start over and reflash the Rom from beginning. Ahhhh.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] BigBot96:
I assume you're referring to a dirty flash, and not a dirty wipe? The latter sounds like a personal problem lol

I always recommend a clean flash when changing OS versions to minimize risk of quirks and other "glitches". You may or may not have a problem, so it's up to you.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] Jeff Speake:
When flashing the NK2 Kernel to install Tethering zip and then reflashing OA8 Kernel I am still getting a mismatch with Baseband and Build.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] kprice8:
Go back to NK2 Rom and Kernel, then flash up to OA8 ROM, then flash the tether at the same time, then the 0A8 kernel, and let it set up.. That's how I did it, and have NO mis-match...
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] Jeff Speake:
Oh dam...check this out. Instead of reflashing the OA8 Kernel only, I reflahsed the OA8 Firmware and got a surprise. The mismatch was fixed but in addition to that, MY STORAGE INCREASED BY ALMOST 1GB! :eek:

Whats going on here?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] kprice8:
:eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek:
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] Jeff Speake:
HAHA! Try it. Odin the OA8 Firmware only, not the Kernel only and see what happens for you. Check your storage space first.

Update: After apps updated and I installed my usual apps it looks like I have about 6-700MB more space on internal card. Weird.

---------- Post added at 05:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:26 PM ----------

[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] TheMuffnMan:
To add, I had just a stock rooted 4.4.4 rom installed on mine before going through this update. The screen rotates if an app does it (like Clash of Clans) however it ignores the actual phone orientation. I haven't tried wiping my cache or anything again to see if that would help.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] Mr. Boom:
Exactly what mine does. On home screen it does not rotate, but in any app it does. Non issue for me, because I don't just sit and look at the home screen. :o
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] alphahere:
What does not rotate? Is it all the apps or it is only TW launcher.

Thanks
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] Argent36:
anyone else noticing crappy battery life since upgrading? I used to be able to go 12-15 hours between charges now the phone is almost dead after about 8

Also - my homescreen never rotated - in Kitkat or Lollipop
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] rotzy:
Nothing rotates. Extremely frustrating! Apps that are landscape only (ie. Angry Birds) do present themselves correctly and the screen returns to portrait mode upon exit, but the auto rotate will not function anywhere.

TW is not supposed to rotate.

[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] lickwid:
My screen rotation was working fine initially. But somewhere along the way, after debloating, it no longer works. Was a bit annoying using Waze and had to use in portrait mode.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] ymDroid:
So for everyone who is having the rotation issue, did it start out fine, and then become an issue after debloating?

Or is the rotation issue there from the get go.

Really holding off doing this until there's a fix.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] johnnytraveler:
I'm in Vietnam at the moment and messaging (send & receive) works fine using the stock app. For the first couple days I kept getting a notification that I was not using a vzw sim. Now even that message has disappeared and my phone shows vn mobifone (a gsm network) on the lock screen. I did delete all vzw apps as I wont be back in the USA for still another couple of months. Try freezing or deleting (in tibu) the various vzw apps.

Also it seems screen rotation is hit and miss. For me it works fine.

My only gripes are battery life and lag in apps opening once selected.

You need to use Odin to flash the Lollipop Kernel after flashing the rooted Lollipop through Safestrap. I dont know how to do it without using Odin and a PC.

I want to try to Lolipop rooted, now I am on NCG Rooted, do I have to go to NK2 first, or I can just direct to OA8 with your procedure. Thx.
