My story getting Lollipop an OA6 deodexed rom to work...

I kept getting the message to reboot to complete activation with the timer.

Gonna post this is the main thread too (in case anyone is willing to try it).

I still think something is getting saved somewhere that is causing some folks to have issues.

1. Followed instructions to Odin factory OA6 FULL tar.

(unchecked Auto Reboot in Odin)

2. Unplugged, hit the reset button in Odin to clear settings, plugged back in and Flashed Philz recovery in the same session (TAR version of course).

(again, I unchecked Auto Reboot in Odin)

3. Unplugged, rebooted right into Philz recovery from download mode (Hold PWR + Vol up + Home)

4. (In Philz) Wipe and Format Options/Custom Format Options, went through and did every single one EXCEPT 'Format /storage/sdcard1' (external storage).

5. Flashed the custom deodexed OA6 rom which should already be saved on external SD.

Once this was done, I've never had a single issue and have never seen the reactivation nag again through many many reinstalls doing regular wipes. I use TWRP recovery as my regular recovery. Philz was only used to do these full wipes and the initial install and I switched back since then. ;)
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ramer:
I just PM'd you on this subject as you were typing this! Do you think it's the android folder that's holding some left over files?

Edit: Regarding wiping, if you tap Wipe in KT TWRP and then advanced, doesn't that have every thing you'd want to wipe?

A change of subject: I've noticed that sometimes the phone is not remembering a change I'd make. For example, I go into an apps settings and uncheck the receive notification box and then sometime later on (probably after a reboot), I'd get a notification from them. I check the app settings and sure enough, it's checked again.

What does format boot and system mean in philz? Am I going to lose root?
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tdunham:
I cant say if its the android folder, I know that just formatting internal storage didn't work for me. As for TWRP, I cant remember if I tried them all. I'm just going by what worked for me so others can give it a try. Like I said, once I cleared everything, that seemed to do the trick.

We'll let a few of the users that are determined enough to try that method ring in and let us know how it goes.

No idea on disabling notifications for the apps, maybe the app isn't completely Android 5 compatible yet?

It works for some but not others?

I saw your request for power saving ongoing nag. I'll keep it in mind. There is a toggle to disable all ongoing notifications but I find that I miss having it enabled for other stuff so that may not be a good option for that one.

Boot is kernel and system is the system partition.

The method posted should wipe out just about everything (except external SD) and yes, no rom means no root. You still have to flash a pre-rooted rom after doing those steps so you have an operating system to boot to. ;)
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andee39:
Good to know about boot and system wipes. Remembered after posting that MOAR will give me root back. :cyclops:

I wanted to try this thorough wipe because I keep having the issue that when I reboot, I get the same 2 apps updating over and over again. When I flashed MOAR 6.0 first version that issue went away but then I tried new KT Kernel yesterday and issue returned. Not sure why. Hoping this will take care of it once and for all.

Thanks!!

Thanks!

You didn't have to let the phone activate and sign into your google account before you flashed the deodoxed OA6? That step (activation) was included on one of the instructions I saw earlier.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tdunham:
Yes I remember. I'm just offering an alternate way to see if this will help those that are getting that persistent activation popup.

I flashed your ao6 deodexed rom with no issues....I only encouter issues when I tried flashing the moar 6.0 rom....
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ramondel:
[MENTION=434226]tdu[/MENTION]nhum, I was having the activation popup issue on MOAR v6.0. I went ahead and formatted everything three times in TWRP recovery and then I flashed your de-odexed ROM v1.1 and I am currently on that version as I need to use my phone for work today. I will attempt to dirty flash MOAR v6.0 after work and see if the issue comes back. There have been suggestions to freeze ItsOn but then we can not make phone calls or send MMS, so that was not an option for me today. There was another post talking about dialing ##3281# and changing a setting in there from global to anything other and i tried that but it would not boot up again. This was while I was till on MOAR v6.0.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SHYZZA:
I shouldn't still be getting system update if all updated to oa6 should I. Because I stall am. If so can I do the old titanium freeze trick?
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tdunham:
The stuck apps that keep thinking they need to update is an Android 5.0 deodexed rom issue. It's been reportedly happening on other deodexed roms too, not just ours. It's another one of the Lollipop bugs that is very intermittent and hard to duplicate. Also, its not necessarily a 'bug' in Lollipop but it is part of being on the deodexed builds. We don't know if or when we'll be able to resolve it since its another one of those things that isn't happening to everyone. This also seems to go along with being unable to uninstall apps too where it will reappear on reboot. Not much can be done about it right now.

---------- Post added at 07:58 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:55 PM ----------

The only system update nag I get after a fresh is for some Samsung registration thing. I just say yes and it never comes back.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ramondel:
OT, about Stock Kernel

[MENTION=1167171]rompnit[/MENTION] or [MENTION=1042140]tdunham[/MENTION] can either of you tell me if the stock kernel in MAOR v6.0 allows for SeLinux mode to be changed from 'Enforcing' to 'Permissive'. It seems that ViperAndroid will not work without it being in permissive mode. I know that the app from playstore worked on the NKD version. Another side note on the next update would it be possible to have this line added to the build prop so that screen mirroring works "wlan.wfd.hdcp=disable". It is no big deal adding it everytime the ROM is flashed but it would be nice.

Ramon
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tdunham:
Not really sure how Itson has to do with anything since the app is not included in this rom. The stock rom may still have it though. Maybe theres a dependency service but I don't see one anywhere so not really sure how it plays into things for those having any problems with MOAR.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ramondel:
I initially had used odin to flash the stock 0A6 that I downloaded from [MENTION=1052947]rwilco[/MENTION] website and then followed the instructions of using ODIN to flash cf-autoroot and TWRP recovery.. I then rebooted into the stock ROM and did the full setup with the exception of installing all of my apps. I then rebooted into recovery and did a clean flash of MOAR v6.0 after wiping everything including the internal SD and that is when i started to get the nagging reboot popup. I finally did everything again but this time I flashed your de-odexed ROM and no issues so far on it. Everything is running as it should.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kmcphee:
I did the opposite

Turned of phone enter download mode Odin official complete set up then powered down phone then download mode then cf auto root rebooted again then powered down phone for 3rd time enter download mode Odin Philz rebooted

Made nandroid

Let phone run all night thrn at 11:00 am deleted android folder on ext SD card and then did factory reset through the phone then phone rebooted. When Samsung logo screen came on I pulled the battery waited 5 minutes (I know that part sounds strange-@work)

Entered Philz then did factory reset twice then formatted my internal SD card

Flashed MOAR V6.0

yes the software update appeared click yes has not returned

NO PROBLEMS AT ALL

SUCH A GREAT ROM

[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DurhamHusker:
For the record (in case it helps someone) here are the steps I took and I'm having a wonderful experience on MOAR 6.0

I started on MOAR 2.2 based on NE5.

I never had any other Android 5.0 based ROM on this phone.

I use KT TWRP exclusively

If you don't see where I make a nandroid, it's because I generally don't. I like to install ROMs from a strong base and not work from OS backups ... really ever.

(MOAR 6.0 and KT TWRP zips are on my removable memory card before I start)

From KT TWRP recovery:

Use file manager to delete Android folder from external storage (removable memory card)

Format internal storage

Format System, Data, and all Caches (basically everything EXCEPT external memory)

Power off Phone

Using ODIN 3.10

Boot into download mode.

Put rwilco's OA6 tar into the AP slot of ODIN and hit go.

Allow the phone to reboot (it'll take a while)

While this thing is booting, grab a beer. And don't forget to kiss the old lady on the way back from the fridge ... she needs to feel needed.

After it's booted into fully stock OA6

Go through the setup screens, put your Google account in there and whatever else you it asks you for.

At some point, the phone will ask you to reboot to complete activation. Do this.

Once rebooted, make sure calls and texts work. Because if you can't do that from here, you need a Sprint technician, probably.

Power off Phone

After you're calling and texting on a fully stock phone proceed to voiding your warranty, below (assuming you still have a warranty to void).

Using ODIN 3.10

Boot into download mode.

Uncheck auto-reboot.

Put philz recovery tar into AP slot and hit go.

When it's done, pull the USB cable and pull the battery. Phone will go dead.

Now go back into recovery and flash the zips from my external sdcard that have been there the whole time.

Put the battery back in and boot into recovery

Flash the KT TWRP zip.

Reboot recovery.

Flash MOAR 6.0

Reboot system and enjoy MOAR.

Maybe this helps someone.

---------- Post added at 10:25 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:43 PM ----------

Everything went smooth I was able to flash the mods with no problems using TWRP however I was unable to flash the latest recovery because I have ODIN3 and need a TAR version could you provide a tar version of the latest recovery?
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ramer:
You don't need a tar version. Put the .zip file on your SD card, boot into recovery and flash the latest TWRP. Then, if you want to confirm that it flashed, from the main TWRP window, tap Reboot and then on the reboot screen tap Recovery. After you've confirmed it worked, then reboot System.

Did anyone ever put a finger on why mod control is disappearing or how to get it back for sure?

I flashed to OA6, installed TWRP, installed MOAR, installed gapps, then installed newstuff rev1.2. Not seeing Mod Control at any point. Not on fresh MOAR, not after newstuff... Tried dirty flashing MOAR again over the top. Still nothing. Ideas?
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andee39:
[MENTION=1042140]tdunham[/MENTION] said it could be the way new stuff v.1.2 was recompiled. It seems to b a strange issue because dirty flash helped some but not others. Did you do a nandroid beforehand? You might want to try a clean install. BTW, you do not need to flash gapps with MOAR.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dpotter38:
Interesting. I didn't do a nandroid before, just bits and pieces of things I wanted to keep. Interesting that you say no gapps. I was thinking with previous versions I didn't have to but when I installed I was missing even the basics. Maybe I got a bad download somehow? Would think if it were bad dl I wouldn't boot, not just missing apps. I digress.

TL;DR

I'll try a full clean reinstall in the morning. Shouldn't need to go through all of the OA6 stuff again, right? Just a clean install of MOAR then newstuff?

Edit: I have checked versions in about device to confirm that OA6 did take.

Your flashing the wrong file. NE5 is Kitkat, this is OA6 5.0 Lollipop. You need to make sure what version of android you are on NE5 NK4 NKD or OA6. In order to run MOAR 6.0 or 6.1 you need to be on the latest which is OA6
