This deodexed ROM is useless. No sense in playing with it. Will let you know.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] lavacano:
After quite a while I got to the optimizing screen.

---------- Post added at 03:45 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:52 AM ----------

and its unuseable, I tried joel's deodexer myself too.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] muniz_ri:
Did you get any errors using joels tool?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] muniz_ri:
G900V_OD5_Stock_Deodexed_ROM

[MENTION=2460732]Dudash[/MENTION] or anyone else.....If you decide to try it please use FFv.19. You will need to set the date back on your device to 6/1 for it to work.

Let's cancel this build and stand, may have a better build....
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] Dudash:
Downloading now. I'm surprised you made another version already.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] muniz_ri:
There may be some bugs and the ROM may not be completely usable but mainly interested in the space issue. Hope this resolves that at least.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] Dudash:
That's the biggest problem right now and may be the only problem. If you create new bugs by trying to squish other bugs, at least it will narrow down what could be causing it. If the space issue is resolved and there are new bugs, we can just work backwards from there knowing that something you did fixed it.

---------- Post added at 12:32 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:29 AM ----------

Just an FYI tho, this is saying it's going to take a little under an hour to download so I probably wont be able to test it until tomorrow and I don't even know what I'm doing tomorrow with it being Father's Day and all. Maybe someone else will download and try it before I get to.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] muniz_ri:
No rush whatsoever, just putting it out there. thx
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] drparvez:
need od5 firmware only

Hello sir i need odin flashable od5 firmware only with kernel, please give me the link to download. Thank you

[MENTION=4708661]muniz_ri[/MENTION]

I wonder if it could be something like this.

Not entirely sure but it could be a possible cause.

(Meaning leftover files from the odex version. Not necessarily titanium backup files)
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] muniz_ri:
Don't think so but I acutally believe I have a good line on the possible cause. I will upload a new test build overnight.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] lavacano:
I know maps failed, then later after system started maps had crashes. kindle and gmscore failed too from the log but didnt produce crashes. I was able to open some apps and do some tasks but installing software for example wouldnt happen.

Also will the boot time be long every reboot; I tried to reboot thinking maybe some things would be fixed but was presented with the big throbbing V :)

---------- Post added at 06:40 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:33 AM ----------

FYI: pastebin / at5MpRUD

Also is there a better way what I do is in linux, mount system.img.ext4, then mount it again with bindfs then access that through vbox to a windows virtual machine then I can finally use joels/SVADeodexerForArt
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] muniz_ri:
When/If the ROM is built correctly and after the initial boot which will take 15 - 20 mins the ROM will boot up and run like any other ROM. I am cautiously optimistic about the next test build, I will post the link shortly before I call it a night.

[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] edjanx:
Thanks for the tip ProudMarine. Triangle Away removed the Custom Pad Lock from both my S5 and S4, although the S4 was a little hairy. Had the pull the battery on that one after stuck on booting up then it started up fine.

install of the NEW BOD5

I am currently Using SS to install the NEW BOD5 update also. I just finished my 3rd one so far today. On VZW S5
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] lavacano:
I need a ncg that has root and FF preinstalled to make this quicker! :)
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] killa408shark:
I never thought of this. ?

---------- Post added at 10:27 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:24 AM ----------

@muniz_ri so there's no need to flash any firmware or kernel just the rom? Sorry for the question but right now I'm on KitKat 4.4
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] Dudash:
I'm about to. Just got back from the movies. lol.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] muniz_ri:
Cool. I'm showing 20 downloads so far so either there is mass bricking behind the scenes or it is working...
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] Dudash:
It flashed fine. Now for the boot animation wait period.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] muniz_ri:
Getting to the vz boot screen is a good sign.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] Dudash:
Holy crap. It got past the boot animation after 7min. lol. Still having Maps force close twice during the setup wizard tho.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] muniz_ri:
Another good sign. Maps requires an update of google play services and maps itself. Should not fc after updating...
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] Dudash:
I noticed.

I think we finally have a winner :D

No system storage low notification, it lets me update/install apps, I can connect my phone to my CPU via USB and actually access the storages, etc. None of the problems from before are present. I haven't tried to reboot my phone yet and on the other builds, it would hang on the boot animation if I tried. So I guess that's the last test and I'm about to try it.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] muniz_ri:
Let me know if you find issues but looks like Success finally! If you get the chance try xposed on it.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] Dudash:
It rebooted just like it should. Awesome.

You should know that the next thing I'm going to try is Xposed cus that's the only reason I wanted us to get a working deodex version for people (myself included)
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] muniz_ri:
Great. Moved the ROM to the OP but I will be uploading a new version using a system.img. Thanks for all of your time testing! fyi...all of a sudden we will start seeing "new" od5 deodexed versions pop-up, oy vey!
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] Dudash:
I was going to ask if you wanted me to make a system.img for you to use but it looks like you already got one :P

---------- Post added at 03:42 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:26 PM ----------

btw Xposed works perfectly.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] muniz_ri:
Awesome!
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] busarida123:
Is there a OD5 firmware only and kernel zip? I like to use SS so i can make backups.

Thanks
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] lavacano:
I just flashed the deodexed zip saying it was uploaded today 6/21 at 5pm, bootloops before Verizon
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] muniz_ri:
Which FF version did you use?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] RBEmerson:
No problem here - plug and play.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] muniz_ri:
Good. And i recommend everyone use FF v19. Versions 20 and 21 are buggy on both Vz s4 and s5.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] lavacano:
maybe, i used whatever is in the store.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] muniz_ri:
v21 is in the store. Just linked OP to v19.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] lavacano:
so i must be doing something wrong. Are you flashing regular odex zip then reflashing the deodexed version over it or is there something wrong with my phone?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] muniz_ri:
Again, FF seems to be the issue. Use v19.

But just uploaded new rom file in case there were any issues with it.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] RBEmerson:
I seem to have dodged the bullet then. My PnP install used FF Pro V0.21.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] muniz_ri:
The problem with v20 and 21 seems to be hit or miss. Did you flash odex or deodexed rom?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] lavacano:
so both of the deodexed rom do not work flashing from ngc to them or from od4 odex to either, or FF21 or FF19 all yield the same results generally the same results on my device the older deodexed flash doesnt seem to get as far as the newer one however neither ever made it to the red verizon screen. I've done this about 6-7 times trying different things, I was able to get OC4 to work without all this. Anyways my hardware version is G900V.05, not sure if it helps.

when looking in lastlog from recovery the only thing that seemed off is it was complaining about symbolic links to /i/forget/exactly/csc/apps and then not being able to find various directories and files around that path. Everything else looked pretty normal to me besides it not being able to boot.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] muniz_ri:
Can you send me that log? A bad symlink would explain a premature reboot during the flash. Also, with v19 try tapping the volume key every few secs during the flash.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] RBEmerson:
I flashed "G900V_OD5_Stock_Rooted_ROM" which, I guess, is "odexed"?

Totally OT-

I can't recall how to make the external SD fully usable under 5.n. I know it's shut down (partially) as a security measure. But at the moment the Titanium, among other apps, can't put stuff where I want it.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] flatworm:
Im not that familiar with FF, at which point in the instructions could we do a wipe if we wanted to? Or does it automatically wipe?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] muniz_ri:
The ROM's will automatically perform a wipe.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] RBEmerson:
I was surprised to see my S5 wasn't wiped on this update. V. weird. Maybe I should have done one "just because" as a couple of apps are unhappy about their data. I backed it up but somehow the restore didn't fix all of the problems. Or maybe this is proof that some days you're the dog, some days you're the tree... [/big grin]
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] muniz_ri:
Here is a version the rom with that symlink removed: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24052804347763412
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] ifspencerthen:
Same result for me as lavacano using this rom (or any OD5 deodexed versions so far), exact text from recovery:

can't create symbolic in '/system/csc/VZW/csc_contents' -> '/system/csc_contents' (Read-only file system)

Using FFv19 coming from NCG. Hardware version G900V.05.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] muniz_ri:
This explains a whole lot. Did you try the rom linked right before your post yet? I removed the symlink in that version.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] edjanx:
Muniz, I was one of the first to get the S5 odexed version to flash via FF. I want to go to the deodexed version for my S5, just like I did for my S4. I am downloading the ROM with the reference error corrected, and I'm curious if I use that with FF.19, what's your recommendation to preserve all of my data, especially since I've spent days customizing my S5. :) Is this where I should google something on Titanium Backup? :) I've used this for backing up and restoring individual apps, but it would be great to restore my entire phone with data and preferences. Thanks.

Regards,

Ed Janx
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] muniz_ri:
I would use FF "normal" backup function to backup data only.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] packetjunkie:
I am extremely grateful for all the hard work on this project - many thanks. However, the heat and battery issues were too much for me, so I downgraded back to KitKat. Hopefully a 5.1.1 update will come and resolve these issues, but I'm pretty sure my phone could fry an egg at times. :)
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] ifspencerthen:
I thought I had... but for certainty I double-checked the md5 and tried once more. It looks like it's working (I'm in the Verizon boot splash).

I watched FF closely this time and can confirm the flash script finished with 0 status. The other times I wasn't looking when it "completed" and wound up either at a BIOS bootloop or just the BIOS splash with no activity--so I'm not 100% it isn't a still-present flashing issue that I lucked around.

I'm now in the Setup Wizard; looks like we made it!

Exact steps for posterity:

1. Odin flash G900VVRU1ANCG_Full_Odin.rar (from OP)

2. Set display timeout to 10 minutes.

3. Install APKs:

tr.apk (install, run)

eu.chainfire.supersu-2.49-249-minAPI7.apk (install, run, reboot, disable KNOX, enable pro, enable survival mode, reboot again)

v19FlashFire.apk (install, run)

4. Flashfire -> [+] -> OTA/ZIP... select "G900V_OD5_Stock_Deodexed_ROM.zip" from sd with md5 '43613fbeafa78077b31fd8d5255af3a4'.

5. Disconnect USB.

6. Run flash.

7. I hit Vol- once during flash (~'preparing system') to be certain it stayed awake but I don't know if it was actually necessary.

Maps crashed while I was sitting on the setup wizard. Otherwise looks good.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] RBEmerson:
Re: Maps crashing, after doing the process outlined here, Google apps, such as Maps, get very whiny about needing some sort of update from the Play apps area. Once the updates are done, the issue goes away. About the only app that's currently acting oddly is Firefox. It seems to start up, and then vanish. Tap the Tasks button and it's listed as being alive and running. Good luck getting it on the screen. Dolphin and Chrome both work as desired.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] muniz_ri:
Reading the log error was invaluable in resolving an otherwise very frustrating issue. Thx. I have moved that version of the ROM to the OP. I will upload a new version using a system.img based on that ROM.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] muniz_ri:
Yes, maps requires an update to google play services and maps itself. Should work fine after updating....
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] edjanx:
I followed the method posted here, which essentialy adds a write permission to the external card when the device starts up. I was able to specify my Titanium Backup 'backup location' to be my external SD after doing this, saving a lot of space from the internal.

Procedure

Note: root required!

1) Open any file manager of your choice (Root Explorer, ES File Explorer, Total Commander) and

make sure it it is configured to run with superuser permissions, see hidden files and folders, etc..

2) Navigate to the /system/etc/permissions/ folder and look for the 'platform.xml' file.

3) Make a copy of the 'platform.xml file' and place it into the same location as 'platform.xml.bak' file.

4) Open the platform.xml file with any text editor on your device and search for the following line:

<permission name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE">

5) Add a 3rd GID (Group ID): <group gid="media_rw" />

6) Using Root Explorer or any other Files Manager of your choice make sure that the platform.xml file has proper permissions: Owner R-W | Group R | Others R (0644 rw-r--r--). With ES File Explorer, these settings are viewable when you change to a detailed view. You can also use adb shell to set permissions with a chmod 0644 /system/etc/permissions/platform.xml command.

7) Reboot your device and enjoy!

In case of problems with OTA update just remove modified platform.xml and rename platform.xml.bak to its original name.

Regards,

Ed Janx
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] aurfawce:
SO I followed the method in the main post and I am just stuck on the splash screen. It's been about 10 minutes so far, but everyone is saying 20minutes usually once you get the Verizon Screen. Looks like I'll have to go back?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] muniz_ri:
By splash screen do you mean the Samsung boot screen or Vz splash screen? As requested in the OP details would be helpful.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] aurfawce:
Stuck in the Samsung Boot

To give you a background I had already rooted the phone by downgrading to NCG then performing all required steps to re-update to NE9 and did all the OC4 FW, Kernels etc then came to this to use FF to perform the upgrade as per the instructions and after doing it, just stuck in the Samsung Boot (I was using the de-odexed ver)
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] muniz_ri:
FF version used?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] aurfawce:
v19, the one recommended in the main post

Is there anything I can do with it stuck like this? I can get to download mode, but what would I need to ODIN or is there anything? Would I need to go back to the NCG build?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] muniz_ri:
Yes, you will need to Odin flash NCG in order to recover. Last question, when did you download the ROM?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] aurfawce:

Imei check message: This device is being financed and has an outstanding balance that must be paid or it may not be able to be used on the T-Mobile network.

Purchased on ebay, clean esn, seller claiming it will not get blacklisted.

Sent from my SM-G920T
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] @rbiter:
Return it if possible.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] sublimaze:
1. Definitely try to return it, and hope the seller is willing to refund your money (obviously contact the seller before sending it back). If the seller has few prior transactions and/or lots of bad feedback, then the odds of getting your money back are pretty slim. I don't buy from sellers with less than 95% positive feedback, or zero transaction history. To me, it is just not worth the potential headache.

2. Always check the IMEI before buying, whether you buy on ebay or craigslist or swappa or wherever. Swappa offers a free IMEI check, and you don't need to buy/sell on their web site to use it.

3. After making sure the IMEI is clean, call your carrier and make sure there is no payoff or any other "gotchas" that would prevent you from using the device.

4. When buying from a local seller, put your sim card in the device and make sure you can make calls (for phones) or access your carrier's network (for tablets) before handing over money.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] Deleted member 2747343:
its probably going to get blacklisted
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] ambervals6:
I have 6 months from purchase date to open paypal claim, 45 days to open ebay claim. Seller has good feedback 500+ transactions. He guarantees that it won't get blacklisted but I guess we will see. Worst case scenario my credit card will recover the funds, if payapal and ebay do not decide in my favor.

Sent from my SM-G920T
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] ThePagel:
You should call tmobile instead of waiting. That way if he is wrong you can fix it now instead of last minute. How could your credit card recover your funds? They normally only do that for fraudulent charges, I know for a fact this isn't fraud.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] ambervals6:
They cover purchases of items not as described. If one buys a phone that claims to be clean and in w.e number of months it gets blacklisted, then I got an item not as described and all I have to do is provide tracking information that shows delivered at the sellers town and zip code and all good.

Sent from my SM-G920T
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] ThePagel:
That's pretty sweet.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] lonewolf5460:
I would not, one reason I miss iphones I would just do a warranty swap at apple to clean that up. I had that happen to me on a note 4 but my account is old with tmobile so they just removed the blacklist to make me happy so I lucked out. Unless you got a super good price or the seller promises to pay off the balance before the return period is up I would return it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] sublimaze:
Paypal is pretty good about refunding for items "not as described". Paypal wants you to keep using ebay because they make money on each transaction, so they will probably work with you.

I had a transaction in which the item was clearly not as described on the ebay listing, and Paypal refunded me within 1 day after filing the complaint. It is a pain the ass, but worth the trouble if you spent a significant amount of money.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmorrice:
I have a Sprint HTC One M8 and I am thinking about converting it into a Sprint HTC One M8 GPE. My only question is can I use the Sense RUU (off the HTC developer website) to restore it back to stock. The reason I ask this is will the Stock RUU still work with the GPE bootloader and recovery?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] josh.walker.9242:
If you flash GPE firmeare, you can't flash sense ROMs. GPE uses a smaller system partition. Sense needs like 1.5GB and GPE only uses about 1GB. But if you flash a sense RUU it should flash the sense firmware which would give you the proper partition sizes.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Captain_Throwback:
You don't convert a Sprint M8 to GPE. You just flash a GPE ROM onto it. That won't change any partition sizes. The GPE "conversion" won't work on a CDMA M8.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmorrice:
Why won't a GPE conversion work? Couldn't I do the GPE conversion then flash the Sprint GPE ROM?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Captain_Throwback:
Because it's a different variant. Stock GPE won't even boot on a Sprint M8. That's why the ROM has to be ported in the first place. Once you convert, the ports likely won't even fit because they're made for the standard (Sense) partition size.

After flashing ROM there is no volume in speaker and as well as in earphone.

I did some settings in engineering mod and earphone volume issue fixed but there is still very low volume in loud speaker.

Is there anything I did wrong in during flash

[General Topics] TheOracle:
My Vario 2 was stolen on Sunday and I'm still very upset about it. Midday on Monday the phone was blacklisted and the SIM card was blocked. To blacklist my phone (:( :mad: ) I got the IMEI code off the box the phone came in. The only thing I'm concerned about is when I had an Orange E200 smartphone the IMEI on the box was different to the IMEI on the phone, confirmed when I tried to unlock the phone on www.imei-check.co.uk. Is there any chance the IMEI on this phones box was wrong like on my E200's? It said on the website:

Is the difference in IMEI numbers quite common, or was it only a problem with early smartphones? I dread to think that they've stolen my phone and can still use it (if the dumb chavs can figure it out) :mad: . Thanks for any advice, I've now just got to find a way to get the PDA/Phone replaced :(
[General Topics] TheOracle:
Anybody? No? DUST.

Would T-Mobile have on record the IMEI of the phone the sim was used with? I just want to be 100% sure the phone is blocked.

t-mobile will be able to see every phone's IMEI that SIM has been in, so they should be ble to get teh right one barred
