I just did the same thing and got the same results.I have root

I used FF v.17 V. 18 V 19 V. 20 Because I did not NO which one to use so i tryed them all hoping following the posted info i could get it to work. I love my S5 i just got mine and my wifes' a week ago and love putting new thing on them. ( sorry rambling off)
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] jrkruse:
Why did you odin back to NCG? Doing the method I described you should of still had root
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] killa408shark:
I still had root. the reason I Odin back to NCG is because you mentioned that it worked for you. For now I'm back on OC4 I need the video calling is nice to see my baby boy while I'm at work :)
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Jihoonie:
I'm not showing video calling either
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] jrkruse:
did your video calling work once you flashed the full factory tar in flash fire? You had it do a wipe correct? You had to reset up phone with setup wizard correct? Did you reactivate it video calling in the advanced calling features in settings?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] killa408shark:
I flashed the full tar with a wipe when the phone booted up I went to settings activate the video calling rebooted the phone nothing then I used FF to reflash the rom when the phone booted I went to settings activate the video calling same thing rebooted the phone nothing
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] jrkruse:
you flashed system,cache and boot image correct?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] killa408shark:
Yes I did.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] jrkruse:
Could you or somebody try just flashing the dirty flashing this over BOC4 just make sure you have video calling working and then use odin and flash BOD5 firmware only not the full factory tar make sure video still works then dirty flash BOD5zip
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Lightn1ng:
Any chance of seeing Aroma on this rom anytime soon? :)

(Aroma works on FF)
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] killa408shark:
I'll give a try later on today so what you want us to do is

Dirty flash your OD5 rom on top of OC4 (No wipe)

If video call works after the phone boots up flash the OD5 firmware in odin

If video call still works after that

Reflash the OD5 rom again (no wipes)?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] sean19661:
Sorry if this a stupid question I was wondering if I could just flash the boot img/recovery/modem/kernel over moar boc4 6.6.2 v8/ and stay on moar 6.6.2/v8 ?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] jrkruse:
Everything except when you flash the BOD5 rom at the very end do a full wipe
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] killa408shark:
That did it! Video call works after I did all the steps. I did them using Safestrap.

Edit: [MENTION=1949695]jrkruse[/MENTION] can we use the debloat zips from OC4? Or we should wait for you new zip that's coming out

Edit: I went ahead and flashed your extreme debloat and worked perfectly

Re: AROMA -- f what I know about e.g. linux holds true, it's not going to work. If there's no framebuffer device available when you start flashfire, it's not going to magically appear later. I think it might have been possible with safestrap, but support never materialized.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Lightn1ng:
Why do you say "bootloaders modem and recovery?" We have a locked bootloader and Verizon (thankfully) hasn't incremented the bootloader since NCG.

SUCH SADNESS
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] jrkruse:
Because thats what your flashing. If you dont think they havent changed the bootloader from kitkat to lollipop, just try and get a lollipop rom to boot with only a lollipop kernel flashed. It will not boot. You have to flash lollipop bootloaders also
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Lightn1ng:
Hmm. I had always thought that Verizon prevented bootloader downgrades. Maybe they aren't so good at locking devices down.

That said, a (very highly unlikely) bootloader unlock would still be nice :)
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] blair.sadewitz:
The firmware does, I think. As jrkruse mentioned, they just haven't done it. Maybe they realize that further alienating a small but vociferous portion of their customer base for no reason is stupid. I wouldn't bet on that pony, though.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] twolostminds:
Probably a stupid question but I'd rather be snickered at than risk a brick. I'm running BOC4 stock 5/13 slightly modded with Dark it up v6 no ui installed. Can I just flash VZW_BOD5_STOCK_ROM_6_22_15.zip with FlashFire to update?

Safe Strap Users-- I hope this is and was helpful

Safe Strap Users: This information is using Odin 3.09 &'d

for installing roms of 5.0

Fisrt: Pick your Fan Fav Rom.Download & copy it to External Sd Card

Second: Odin with your choice of Odin. I personally use 3.07-3.09

Third: After having the Fan Fav Rom copyed to your Extrenal SD Card.

I put the Phone into Download Mode. connect it to computer

and flash with odin NI2_STOCK_KERNEL_FOR_SAFESTRAP.tar

Forth: I click on advance wipe. wipe everything but the SD Card

Fifth: find your rom that you copyed over and click on that rom and

swipe the install button.

Sixth: after install complete. I then hit the menue button or just

keep hitting go back until you can not any more. Click on the

reboot option and click Download.

Seventh: reopen odin of your choice and place VZW_BOD5_RETAIL_FIRMWARE_ONLY.tar in AP (odin 3.09)

eighth: Reboot some rom's may tak 5-20 mins so kick back enjoy a movie and a Beer.

This is Me doing it this away BUT most importantly Read & Read the OP for best information on installing The Rom Makers Rom.

Thank you all for reading Please have a wonderful day

[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] jrkruse:
You need safestrap or flashfire to flash this rom. If your not rooted the only way to get root is to flash the NCG factory tar image wich can be rooted and have safestrap installed from there you can then flash this rom

You need to flash the bod5 firmware after you flash the rom
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] blair.sadewitz:
As I just posted in the AllianceROM thread, if you have a fetish for not using odin at all costs, you can:

-- Do a full wipe

-- Flash muniz_ri's stock rooted BOD5 ROM

--Do a full wipe

--Flash AllianceROM

--Flash the BOD5 kernel for safestrap

I'm not sure there is a point to this, but if it does it for you, that's all that matters.

Man that's a pissa!!!
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] zcmack:
Can someone confirm these steps will work successfully? Its been awhile since I messed around with a safestrap style flash and I'm confused by step 3. I copied the instructions from the BOC4 thread.

Instructions:

BE PATIENT!!! The Rom Will Take 10 Min Or More To Boot The First Time! And Even Longer If You Do A Dalvik Or Cache Wipe Once Rom Is Installed!!!

1. put rom on internal or external sd card

2. Use Odin (which version? i don't have ODIN installed.) and flash VZW_BOD5_RETAIL_FIRMWARE_ONLY.tar.md5 Make sure it is the retail firmware and not just the kernel

3. When done flashing Reboot back to download (May have to pull battery If running 4.4 Rom then Hold Power:Volume Down:Home Button) use Odin and flash NI2_stock_kernel.tar.md5 (is this the same kernel i should be flashing on BOD5, or is this different from BOC4? I assume this is specific to lollipop, not to this particular revision )This will allow you to enter SafeStrap

4. Enter SafeStrap flash rom(VZW_BOD5_STOCK_ROM_6_22_15.zip), when finished enter reboot menu in SafeStrap and reboot to download mode

5. Use Odin and flash VZW_BOD5_RETAIL_KERNEL_ONLY.tar.md5
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] jrv331:
These instructions are still good but if you want to use the ni2 kernel app and flash fire you can by pass Odin and safestrap all together.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] zcmack:
thanks for the reply. so i would use flashfire for steps 2, 4 and 5 and the ni2 app for step 3? can you link me to the ni2 app?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] jrv331:
I can't paste a link to the ni2 but look in the general section for " safestrap without odin". The app and flash able kernel zips are there. If your on OC4 then just use the flash fire app to wipe, install oc5 zip then oc5 kernel zip and reboot. It can be a one step process with flashfire. But if it's been awhile I'd really recommend reading up a bit before starting.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] zcmack:
found it. thanks a lot. i was doing a lot of reading in general the last day or so but i wasn't sure what was up to date.

[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] damagi123:
this rom is working perfectly except for 2 things, i tried everything you suggested to get video calling to show up including starting on 0c4 and dirty flashing this, no luck no video calling. Also It wont stay on the keyboard i choose it just keeps going back to samsung keyboard .
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] thrgk:
I am on OC4 and would like to try this rom. Can I just download the zip and flash through flash fire ? Is there a step by step I can follow?

Do I need to update to OD5 first ?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Stupifier:
You're fine. You don't HAVE to update to OD5 Kernel/Modem/Firmware if you are already on a Lollipop Kernel/Modem/Firmware. It is only if you want to.

Hey everyone.

I have modified an old de-bloat file and will be uploading it to androidfilehost as soon as I am granted developer privileges. Although I am a developer that works for an Android and iOS applications company, I will not be "developing" but will be helping fill in any gaps the S5 community is experiencing. If jrkruse is interested, I can also debug in my spare time. Anyway, I will upload the file as soon as possible. It seems to be working well on my device but this is my first time dabbling in the OS. It is a bit different than developing apps so we will see how this goes.

[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] blair.sadewitz:
Just don't flash a retail bootloader!
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Davest010:
Sorry, I guess I should have asked more clearly...does flashing this ROM flash a retail bootloader? I realize that flashing a retail bootloader is what I need to avoid...what I'm looking for is a retail-flavored ROM that will leave my unlocked bootloader intact.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Badger50:
Yes, it flashes a retail bootloader. Better find a dev edition Rom.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Davest010:

Hi All,

I have a quick Q on this.

Is there any way to set this up on the phone?

My old samsung s3 had this (it would show "diverted from [number]", but I was running a custom rom and it was rooted.)

Would there be any call handler app that would do this or would I have root the phone and run a custom rom?

FYI I'm using an aussie D6653.

Any help would be appreciated as I really need to make a distinction on forwarded calls for work purposes.
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dan668:
Hi,

I've owned the z2 for a year and a week. Unfortunately my warranty is up. The phone worked great this whole time except the past day I dropped it at work. Picked it up, no damage but the phone was off. I had to hold the power button and volume up to get it on. Since then the phone will discharge in about 3-4 hours with zero use where as the day before it would last over a day. After charging it for 2 hours, it maybe goes up 25%. It runs 58-65 degrees in safe mode. And idles around 48-53 degrees. So now after the drop, it runs hot, discharges quick and takes forever to charge. No updates were done so I can rule that out. I was thinking about opening it up and getting a new battery, not sure if that would be the problem. Any ideas?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Astrophysicist789:
Hello. Sorry if this issue already exists and I'm being negligent, but I have an interesting issue with TWRP. Whenever I try to boot to recovery, the screen stays at the teamwin splashscreen for a short time as it should, but then the device reboots normally and never allows me into the recovery. I've tried reflashing numerous older versions of TWRP via "fastboot flash recovery..." but the reboot still occurs. Just before this started happening I tried doing an "adb push..'" and that resulted in a permission denied. So I remounted using "mount -o rw,remount,rw /system" and the push succeeded. I'm pretty sure that this is at fault because I was able to get into recovery one time after playing with the writable and read only forms of the aforementioned command and wiping the cache via fastboot. Any ideas?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
try deleting it first, via fastboot, then reflash it.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Astrophysicist789:
I ran "fastboot erase recovery", reflashed TWRP, and the reboot still occured at the splashscreen.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] -Maverick-:
It might be a long shot. Try and flash within Android using an app called Flashify.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.cgollner.flashify

Very simple app to use. :good:
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Astrophysicist789:
Good news. That actually worked. I am able to use TWRP now. There's just one problem though. It asks for a password to decrypt the data partition. I've never seen this before. Any way to work around it?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
Yeah, enter your password.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] -Maverick-:
Glad to hear it.

Sure, it's really simple, use your lock screen password. If you have a pattern lock you need to envision your pattern lock into numbers. The below example should help you out.

1 2 3

4 5 6

7 8 9

If you're still having problems, then just turn off pattern lock or use a regular numbered password. On the off chance what I said doesn't solve your problems, you can try one last thing.

Backup anything important on your phone before doing any of these steps below. Make sure lockscreen password is off. You can turn it back on once you've confirmed this worked.

1) Flash a modded stock boot image via Flashify, this will disable forced encryption.

2) Boot into bootloader and use fastboot format userdata

The command will wipe your phone to factory setting, so make sure you backed up! Flash a custom kernel after if you want.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
I thought they got rid of this method and replaced it with something more pattern-lock like, in latest 2 versions?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] -Maverick-:
It has been awhile since I've checked, so I had a look at the change logs and you're right, pattern lock was added in build 2.8.6.0. This should make it easier for [MENTION=5460634]Astrophysicist789[/MENTION]
