Same here. Volume panel is off to the left.

Also fwiw (completely stock SG5), the update failed for me yesterday and went to the recovery screen. But today it went through just fine.

Still no release notes?

Well, after 3 attempts now to upgrade to BOC4, I have been unsuccessful. It appears to reach about 35% installed (rather quickly too) and then give the "Error" screen...
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] :
Bump
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] muniz_ri:
The aboot qfuse counter was not changed with OC4 therefore you can downgrade to any prior firmware version.

I may have to do it your way [MENTION=4708661]muniz_ri[/MENTION], as much as I wish I could have just taken the OTA like others.. I wonder if Factory Resetting the phone would do it? I have debloated some...
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] noamparn:
I had a similar experience last night with mine (stock, rooted OA8). I had frozen SDM with Titanium to prevent updates. I defrosted it, checked for the updates, told it to update, and it rebooted into the recovery screen (I hadn't been watching it, so I didn't know what it did before that point). I rebooted it again, and it hadn't updated. So, I checked for updates again, updated, and it worked that time. I wonder if it failed because I hadn't rebooted after defrosting SDM.

On my wife's phone (also stock, rooted OA8), I defrosted SDM, rebooted, and then checked for the update. It worked the first time, which agrees with my theory that I needed to reboot after defrosting SDM.

On both phones, Root was still intact after the update - which was a first (and second) for me on a device *without* the use of OTA RootKeeper.

Not knowing enough about how all this works, I wonder if the method that was used to root the OA8 image somehow allowed Root to "stick" through the update.

I didn't try flashing the kernel back to try using SafeStrap (I did that with OA8 a few days ago and took a backup then).

Does anyone know if we might ever see an update to SafeStrap (or another alternative custom recovery) that will work with Lollipop on the GS5 without needing to roll the kernel back?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] muniz_ri:
The ota is failing because you debloated. I always recommend freezing apps instead for dependency reasons.

---------- Post added at 12:11 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:03 PM ----------

I was also curious to know why root has been kept after the OC4 ota. I briefly compared the NK2-OA8 and OA8-OC4 ota's and did not find any difference in permissions, file contexts, or updater binary. My GUESS is that it has to do with the new 5.0 file structure that comes into play when updating from one 5.0 build to another. I will look at future 5.0 updates for other devices/variants when released to determine if this is now the new normal.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] neversummer515:
I don't have an option to check for system updates. I don't have anything frozen in Titanium. Any idea why the option to check for updates would not be there. I can do a search in my settings and it will find it, but won't allow me to click it.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] kprice8:
I debloated because of storage space... not because I didn't use the apps.. But I guess I can try that from now on..

Also, would doing a factory reset take me back to the state I need to upgrade?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] muniz_ri:
No, factory reset only deletes User Data and cache.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] kprice8:
Huh.. Coulda sworn it had reinstalled missing apps before. ok. so to upgrade to BOC4 I need to either re-flash OA8, or do your method?

Everything about lollipop is wrong.

Honestly I haven't seen one positive about the switch to lollipop other than I can write to my SDcard without rooting.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] wilsonchristian8:
Is it possible for someone to make a list of the necessary apps for a successful update?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] Kaliaila:
I'm on my third download right now. My previous 2 attempts at the OTA update have failed with a 402 error. I've not debloated and all programs are currently unfrozen according to TiBu. When I did the OA8+root update I also did the tether add on. Anyone else having similar issues or suggestions? I'm going to bed while it downloads; I will check here when I wake up and see if I've gotten any suggestions before I attempt the update again.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] ldeveraux:
I completely retract my comment. I guess this update doesn't break root. Cool!
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] afidel:
Fails on Dev edition

I get an assert failed on getprop("ro.product.device")==...(list of compatible devices)

Looks like I'll have to wait for one of the ROM hackers to figure out a way to get get it into a flashable package for us mere mortal dev edition users =)

I wish Samsung didn't give the dev edition a different identifier.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] muniz_ri:
It's the tether AddOn that is causing the failure. Use my ROM to update from the update and keeproot thread.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] Kaliaila:
Thanks, I will have to do that after work. If I do will it clear out the old add on so that I would be able to take later OTAs if the trend of keeping root continues?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] muniz_ri:
Yes. I will also add a way to remove the AddOn and revert back to rooted stock to my thread.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] DarkWolf747:
Been on the new update since this morning and it seems to have fixed the battery drain issues, the constant slowdowns and the FC's I was having. Also, the phone no longer seems to be randomly becoming lava. However, hasn't been a full day yet. Hopefully I can now go more than 5 hours without rebooting my phone for it being unstable.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] b-rett:
Attached is the list of files and their sha1 sums that the update checks for. You can test which one is failing for you by putting this on your phone, then running

adb shell "sha1sum -c /sdcard/oc4_shas.txt | grep -v OK"
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] billywilly:
BOC4

Battery life is stellar for me. I'm at 81% after unplugging from the charger 7 hours ago. I'm usually at 60-50%

It seems to be much snappier. However it forced an unexpected reboot 2 hours into the day today :(

Under Security I see an option to Pin Windows. Don't remember seeing that and have no idea how to use it.

I never noticed a travel wallpaper option for the lockscreen before, don't know if it's new or not.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] Kaliaila:
So if I use the remove tether add on part in the OC4 thread I could just take the OTA? Or would it need to be one for OA8?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] muniz_ri:
It may work or may not on OA8. But since flashing the remove tether requires that you use safestrap and tether is obviously important to you just flash the OC4 ROM.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] Hobson318:
Pinning an application is not new. You could do it before but it was hard to get to and turn on. All it does is allow you to pin an application so that you can hand your phone off and no one can use any other apps until you unlock it or unpin the app. So you could give your kid the phone to play a game without worrying about them opening the gallery app and seeing things they shouldn't. or just a nosey friend can't poke around if you let them make a call. no problems so far and battery life does seem to be improved although it was great before too.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] Rotordroid:
Did the update and keep root method.....Battery life has been outstanding so far.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] v1ncent:
When I took the first Lollipop OTA,my battery life, like some others took a nosedive; I used to get 2-2.5 days of use then suddenly about 1/2 that since Lollipop. Now with taking this new OTA yesterday morning, I'm at 50% charge at noon the next day. So for me the latest OTA seems to have restored my battery life back to where it used to be!!! Beyond happy!! WOO!
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] whenri14:
I was gonna root after oa8 it was absolutely garbage. Now with oc4 my battery life and stability is back. Like night and day lol no need for root
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] ldeveraux:
Yeah better battery life, that's why I rooted.... Nope...
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] XNO:
Yes, I just updated 10min ago and kept root.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] Dakotahorse:
I am still 4.4, could I take the 5.0 and then this update and keep root, or towel root after update? I was kind of hesitant on the flashing method, just seemed more complicated then before, and didn't want to brick my phone.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] ldeveraux:
You could try it, but nope. Only the latest update doesn't require reroot
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] Rapunzl:
Lollipop can't be rooted. Root first, and then upgrade.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] Dakotahorse:
Guess I should of stated I already am rooted on 4.4. Just the method for re rooting 5.0 seemed a bit more complicated. ...or am I wrong?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] Rapunzl:
Once you're rooted and install a Lollipop ROM, you'll have to flash an NK2 kernel to get back into safestrap. You shouldn't have to re-root, unless you unroot by flashing a stock retail ROM. Then you'd need to flash back to NCG to reinstall Safestrap..
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] Slaatten:
Hi,

I rooted my device using Odin 3.09 and towelroot and followed the steps provided by XDA.

All went as planned until I needed to /Make it rain/through towelroot.

1. The handset no longer is accesible on download mode and simply states /Could not do normal boot./

2. Underneath is states ODIN MODE, the product name, SM G870F.

3. Current binary is Custom.

4.System Status is Official and reactivation lock KK is OFF.

5. Qualcomm secureboot is ENABLE CSB.

6. AP SWREV is S1, T1, R1, A1, P1.

7. Secure download is ENABLE.

8. UDC START.

Underneath the Android figure it states still Downloading.... Do not turn off target.

Is this something that is familiar to you? Can you help me out? I am most definately a newbie...

I understand that charges is necessary.

Please answer and confirm the recieval of this email.

Thanks in advance. Kind regards Slaatten
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] Rapunzl:
You're still in Download mode. That's only used when you want to flash something through Odin. Once you flash, it reboots the phone. I don't understand what you have or haven't done.

[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] Kaliaila:
I just had recovery open and while I took the OTA to OC4 (from rooted OA8) recovery still says OA8. Any guesses why? I don't think it is causing problems but wanted to see if anyone else has the same thing showing up.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] Dakotahorse:
On 4.4 I used Xposed with a couple mods(OBB on SD and kitkat SD) to put all my apps and their files on the SD card, now with 5.0 all the games want to do is keep downloading the files back to internal storage, is there a way to have the OBB and Data files on the SD card and have it work?

Also, I am having battery life issues, When I am on the ship my phone is in airplane mode all day and is not used, yesterday and last night, it dropped from 100% to less than 40% with nothing running, usually it only drops to no less than 90%. Is this stemming from the original 5.0 issues? I have frozen Shealth and messenger

Hello, i have a doubt about the camera app that comes default with CM12 and others similar, i don't know how it is called but i wanted to know if is it possible to change the location folder on this app, i mean, use SD Card instead Internal Memory to save the photos, 'cause i can't find any option to make this. (Just in case, the app icon is attached on bottom page)
[G 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prathameshsd:
CM12 camera doesnt have the permission to write to External SD card. Use third-party camera apps like "A Better Camera" "Lenevo SnapIt Camera", these allow the pics to be saved on External SD card.

[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chillsen:
This is huge and I am not sure if the S6 is the first to do it, however i think it's very important to know that there are two different popular wireless charging capabilities and the S6 can be charged from both. I think PMA charging is making a bigger commercial push such as wireless charging stations at Starbucks, Mcds, etc.

Can't wait to see which chargers work better consistently, Qi or PMA, looking forward to the early adopters' reviews.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deleted member 2747343:
anyone know what the best wireless charger available is?
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Poetique:
"Best" is subjective, therefore the question isn't actually possible to answer correctly.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chillsen:
I agree, we will have to see which 3rd party Qi/PMA charger, if not for the Samsung OEM, will cover these (personal) expectations:

How hot will my phone heat up? Will it be too hot during charging that it will make me worry?

How fast can it charge? 1A? 2A?

How small and slim is the actual charger?

How strong will the signal be that it can charge THROUGH my phone case?
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deleted member 2747343:
best as in which one will charge my phone the fastest wirelessly :D
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Poetique:
In that case, any ole 1A charger is more or less equivalent to any ole 1A charger.

What separates wireless chargers primarily is how much heat they generate, how well they maintain a connection, how strong that connection is, design functionality (ie, stand-style Vs. flat, magnetized Vs. unmagnetived, etc), size, whether or not they support trickle charging and have overcharge protection, notification-style (audible vs. inaudible, or use of both), NFC support, and what amount of input power they require.

Few simple things to know when charger hunting though (keep in mind this is in general and exceptions exist)...

More coils = larger "good" charging area

More coils = more heat

"Stronger" connection = more heat

Fast charging = don't use wireless at the moment

We've released an app with a set of 5 digital watch faces for Android Wear. During development we've encountered certain problems which were caused by either poor documentation, known hardware bugs or simply missing features of stock API. So we decided to write about this in our blog. If you ever plan to create watch faces with OpenGL ES 2.0, this article may be pretty useful for you:

[Moto X Q&A] llsmith:
I got my MotoX about a year ago, non-dev edition on VZW. I installed Hashcode's SafeStrap custom recovery and flashed Kryptonite's "stock" 4.4.2 rom to the stock slot. That satisfied me for the time being and I lost track of current development on the Moto X.

I've been itching for a change though and a software update is just the fix. Since I haven't kept up thoug, I really don't know how to go about it. I've been reading about the options but I don't know where my phone stands. Can I go the CM11-> CM12 route with Safestrap even though my bootloader is locked? Or do I need to use SunShine to unlock my bootloader and install a different custom recovery? And do I need to revert to stock to stock at any point? I'm pretty comfortable with all of this, I just need some nudging in the right direction.
[Moto X Q&A] Travisdroidx2:
If you NEVER took the 4.4.4 OTA you might want to consider unlocking your bootloader via "Sunshine" Then you can flash CM or anything you want with a real recovery and not safestrap. Just know that unlocking your bootloaer on a reatail device will void your warranty.
[Moto X Q&A] llsmith:
Right, my phone has never seen 4.4.4. So I'm going to go ahead and use Sunshine to unlock my boot loader as the first step. The warranty I'm not too concerned about.

I guess the next question is how do I go about replacing safestrap with TWRP? Is it the same as installing TWRP from stock?
[Moto X Q&A] 1ad_m12:
You should be familiar with flashing a custom recovery via adb if you have used TWRP on other devices. Once you have the bootloader unlocked you would need the correct recovery image of TWRP for the Moto X and then in bootloader mode use the command "fastboot flash recovery 'recovery.img'" where 'recovery.img' is the exact name of the file. If it flashed and it works properly then you could flash CM12 and Safestrap should be gone if you followed the flashing directions exactly. Don't forget to make a Nandroid of your current setup before you begin! Factory Resetting the device would be crucial if jumping from one ROM to another so it kind of takes care of itself.
