Yeah, I didn't think so, but it was definitely causing bootloops on a completely clean flash. I have a Developer Edition S5 though, so I actually have TWRP installed. Maybe I'll try using Flash Fire to see if I get different results. I'll also try V6 :D
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] d_mon1:
Thanks for replying.

I agree, but how can I do that? Is it possible to do that in download mode through odin?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] musiclover7:
Boot into download mode, flash ni2 firmware via Odin, then reboot into recovery. From there you should be good.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] lickwid:
Re-flashed Google MOAR v.6 and everything seems to work now. However, I am experiencing lag when scrolling pages using S Launcher. It's quick and smooth using the Google Now Launcher though. Might be just the Stocks widgets causing the slowdown, unfortunately.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] d_mon1:
OK just did that, I'm in recovery. I don't have a nandroid backup though.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] musiclover7:
If you don't have a backup, then you need to do a complete wipe excluding sd card, and reflash the ROM. Hopefully you have things like contacts, etc backed up elsewhere. I have mine setup to back up to google, so they just auto load whenever I flash.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] jrv331:
Can wait for the theme to come. Thanks for all the hard work
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] jrkruse:
Don't use the link volume and ringtones mod. Sorry for you guys that found out the hard way. I will get it fixed but for now it will brick your phone. Sorry I didn't catch that.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] jrkruse:
On another note. The Google MOAR ROM is just that. Its an attempt to remove as much Samsung stuff as possible and replace with google apps. I actually got a PM asking me if I could add back stock MMS camera and launcher. I mean come on just download the regular ROM if that's what you want
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] d_mon1:
I'm one of the unfortunate guys that did this and I don't have any sort of backup as I deleted mine and didn't get a chance to make another backup before my phone went into an infinite bootloop. Can I use my other GS5's backup?

I am able to go into download mode and system recovery, but that's about it. Can a ROM be flashed through odin?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] jrkruse:
I take it you can't get back to safestrap either. Your only bet is to use Odin and start over. Flash the NCG factory image since it can be rooted. Once rooted flash safestrap or flashfire then install ROM make sure you boot back to download mode after install and then flash the BOC4 Firmware only package using Odin
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] jrv331:
Use odin and flash the NI2 kernal and that will take you back to safestrap. From there reflash the rom or restore the back up from your other S5 if thats what you want. Now if your saying that you even wiped safestrap you have to start all over from the beginning.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] d_mon1:
This broken phone that is in an infinite bootloop is already on MOAR_Google_V5, just like my other working S5. But there's no possible way to get into safestrap or flashfire with the broken phone as everything is gone. So I guess I am going to have to start from the very beginning like you guys suggested.

I'll be flashing the Flashable NCG Full Stock Tar from here: http://goo.gl/2M9Fa2

I have already flashed the NCG Firmware Only Tar.

Before I do flash the full stock NCG Tar, the phone was running MOAR Google V5, there won't be any problems right? Besides losing root?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] jrv331:
If you install the top NCG file that is everything you need.. then use towel root method ..you can either install SS or use flashfire
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] jrkruse:
Well if you had flashed the rom with safestrap you could have used odin to flash a kitkat kernel then it would have booted to safestrap. This is why it is always a good Idea to always reinstall the safestrap apk and activate custom recovery after you install a new rom even if your using flashfire that way if your bootlooped you can always flash kitkat kernel and reboot to safestrap. Sorry you had to go through this

You only have to flash the full ncg stock tar right over the top of the moar rom if it gets stuck on the red Verizon screen for more that 5 min reboot to stock recovery and wipe data/factory reset. Just remember everything that was on internal storage will be lost
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] elliwigy:
not here.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] kushpancake:
damn... what would be the easiest to flash again that may fix it? I hate waiting 20 mins for it to restart... :/

Do you know of any s-view & lockscreen mods/tweaks??
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] krazie1:
Thanks for this Rom jrkruse, was a awesome Rom on my galaxy s3
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Chucky5150:
I just flashed this after doing a full wipe. Everything has said it has gone well. Flashed the firmware via odin and it rebooted. I know it said 20ish minutes for the first boot. I've been looking at the Samsung Galaxy S5 Powered by Android for damn near an hour now. Is it normal to take this long to boot?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] freak69ize:
It took me 30 minutes.. from splash screen , boot animation and optimizing apps
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Chucky5150:
well, it's been about 45 minutes since I made that post. Still nada. Guess something went wrong. Now should I just pull the battery or what?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] freak69ize:
Did you do a full wipe?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Chucky5150:
yup. Full wipe of SDcard. Pictures, apps, dalvik cache, the works. Used it as a good time to clean out the junk in my phones trunk and start fresh.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] freak69ize:
Maybe you got a bad download
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Chucky5150:
Maybe. Redownloaded from a different mirror. Checked MD5. Rewiped (hehe sounds dirty). Reinstalling. Hope this goes better.

Update: Flash of lollipop completed - Awesome. Flash of VZW_BOA8_RETAIL_FIRMWARE_ONLY.tar.md5 - Done. Rebooting. Got startup sound. And now we wait...

30 minute update: Still at the Samsung Galaxy S5 screen. I must be doing something wrong.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] mtown_cyclone:
Just so I'm clear: these updates are not in the rom posted in OP, correct? So, to move to this rom right now I'd need to flash the rom in OP and then this update?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] TMadd:
That is correct.

Jkruse, I'm absolutely in love with this ROM. You're doing God's work, man!

I installed the ROM and update 4. I have experienced the issue others are having with the volume rocker mod. Enabling the music control disables the volume keys completely. Not a deal breaker, but it is one of the most used features for me with custom ROMs. I am very eagerly awaiting the fix to this. Thank you so much. Do you have a donation account? I'd love to provide you with some beer money or something ;)
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] freak69ize:
Are you coming from kit Kat?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Chucky5150:
Sure am.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] elliwigy:
when you do your wipe, when do you do it and what all do you select? wipe of course before flashing the rom, flash rom, boot straight into download mode from recovery and odin stock oa8 kernel.

I would also check md5 to make sure it matches.. if not its a bad download.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Chucky5150:
-Wiped system, cache, dalvik, data.

-Installation of rom complete.

-booting into download mode.

Now do I flash OA8 kernel or firmware? or does it not matter?

Does it matter what rom-slot in Safestrap I install this rom on?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] dydigital:
Make sure your in download mode and connected to the pc. Open odin with admin rights and click the AP button select the firmware click start to flash. When flash is complete phone will reboot automatically and start booting
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] freak69ize:
Stock rom slot and flash OA8 kernel
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] chicken leg:
6. flash VZW_BOA8_RETAIL_FIRMWARE_ONLY.tar.md5 Make sure it is the retail firmware and not just the kernel ;)

Use the Stock Slot
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Chucky5150:
Ohh... now it's doing something different. Got a spinny thingy with numbers (New splash screen). This looks a lot better.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] quantumqweef:
THIS IS EXACTLY WHERE I JUST SPENT A WEEK AT.

not fun.

and yes I can confirm that with the googlev2 (release that i was on at the time..now on v5 bout to go to v6 ...but after last week i'm terrified to touch the volume mods.

Are you still stuck in the 'void'? does odin recognize it in download mode?

---------- Post added at 06:50 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:22 PM ----------

yea here was my original reporting from last week...which got left in the dark....but the FULL_STOCK_NCG method flashed through odin is what got me back up on my feet.

:: valuable advice for a fellow struggler::

if you load up yer extSD card with every single piece of software you'll need to get back to googlev6 BOC4, you'll shed ~1hr or so off the whole process :]

and I mean everything

because if there's even one apk you end up needing to grab from the play store while in the NCG stage, you have to configure yer google account and actually set up that rom even tho yer gunna wipe it in a minute. then google and samsung and verizon all start syncin **** back up and downloading all yer apps and this seriously boggs down yer ability to quickly jumpin. root. supersu. busybox. safestrap. and jump out.

so I can't stress this tip enough.. grab the ALL-IN-ONE toolkit (1.9?) that's floating around here somewhere and from that archive, you can copy towelrootv3.apk supersu.apk busybox.apk & safestrap.apk to the sdcard and then you don't gotta fukk with

any

of the NCG setup :]

lemme kno if there's anything else..i'll gladly help, as I've just gone thru this
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] jrkruse:
I recommend everyone flash this!!! Here is a fix for the Bootloop problem if setting linked ringtone and volume mod. Also the fingerprint lockscreen problem in Google MOAR.

Fix_All_Google_MOAR_662_V6_Or_Before.zip

Fix_All_MOAR_662_V8_Or_Before.zip

After you flash these fixes If you use the linked volume mod it flashes a new framework file so it will take some time to reload everthing so dont think your bootlooped. I tested it.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] quantumqweef:
i appreciate it jrk.

oh and btw. the dark google themev2 is literally my exact aesthetic preferences.. beautiful work my friend
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] d_mon1:
I will install SS for now on even though I do prefer flashfire now. And no need to appologize, sh** happens. I'll do that, I was just waiting for somebody to confirm before I mess things up even more, thanks.

Yeah it's not fun at all. Odin has always recognized the phone, I just wasn't sure what steps I should take to fix this mess. And I do have most apks in my sdcard, but you reminded me I still need busybox, and I didn't know there was a toolkit. I'll report back after in a bit, I just got home and am downloading the file.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] jrkruse:

Here is a zip the will flash all the rooting tools to your external sd so if you ever have a problem like your bootlooped and have to start over these are what you will need . This zip will install to your external sd card because when starting over your internal storage is wiped.

Always great work but unfortunately I've experienced a few bootloops. I'm currently running V8.

Sorry i miss read this. At this point everyone should be flashing this if im reading this correctly. As a side note i have not used the linked volume mod or know if i accidentally used it.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] claytonjn:
Is there any chance you may have removed some stuff required for VPN connections to work? Using OpenVPN I can't connect to my home VPN at all, and using the built-in PPPT I can connect to my backup home VPN but, SystemUI immediately goes into a FC loop.

EDIT: \system\priv-app\VpnDialogs being removed caused the VPN issue. Also, \system\priv-app\SecLiveWallpapersPicker being removed prevented setting a live wallpaper for the lock screen.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] d_mon1:
I got everything sorted out late last night, thank you all for the help. The phone is running the latest Google MOAR (along with the linked volume fix of course!!!), everything seems pretty smooth so far apart form the Google camera freezing sometimes.

Thanks again!

Amazing job on the new theme. That keyboard color is amazing. Can I get the hex code for that or at least the synergy blue you used. Also any way for me flash something to get rid of the green on top of the dialer. I know it's a work in progress but if I can do it myself I'd like to learn.

On an unrelated note, any one know why Tapatalk crashes when trying to add a image from the app?
