if i was to do this would i be able to keep root and be on 6.0.1 because i'm on 2BPB1
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] jrkruse:
This is for DEV Unlocked bootloaders so if you do not have a DEV Unlocked bootloader then this will not work for you. If you do then the answer is yes

well i'm a little new to this how would i know if my bootloader in unlocked i have LP Safestrap and can load different loaders

Well since you dont know then your bootloader is locked and this method is not for you. There is a thread here explaining how to unlock your bootloader

I have replaced the ROM files in the OP. As for how to unbrick, find a PB1 .tar file and Odin flash back to stock then re-root.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] ebenz21:
any ideas where i could get one of those?

would I load the PB1.tar file into the AP section of Odin?

sorry for the basic questions...

Didn't Work - stuck on boot animation

followed all the instructions as above but device isn't booting. it first gets stuck on the boot screen, so i pull the battery and boot to recovery to wipe the cache. then the device gets stuck forever on the Verizon splash screen.

the FlashFire flashing went by without a problem.

the Odin flash of the bootloader went by without a problem

i tried several times reflashing the bootloader but always the same sequence.

any help please?

edit 1: reading more comments in this thread i see others are having the same issue, and OP is aware and acknowledged

edit 2: i unbricked by simply ODIN flashing the PB1.tar.md5

[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] stras1234:
i saw "enforce kernel is not seandroid" when the device booted into Recovery, but not the second part
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] Stupifier:
The whole thread is titled "[How-To] Update to G900V_PD1 - 6.0.1 (Unrooted Stock ROM)

According to the OP title....I would say NO, it does NOT still have Root. People have not yet figured out how to give Root to the Locked Bootloader masses. This is primarily why the instructions are currently a bit more detailed/complex.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] Wynnded:
I get this as well on booting system, but the device works as expected. I spent a vast majority of the day yesterday going from unrooted and a locked bootloader on PB1 to rooted with an unlocked bootloader on PD1 following the same instructions everyone else has been using. It can be done. Some things don't seem to "take" and need to be repeated. Sometimes the device doesn't reboot or restart as expected, but I think that being patient and giving it time before pulling the battery is prudent.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] jrkruse:
Did you let it sit for 10 to 15 min if still stuck pull battery and reboot and try another 5 min or so

Edit: this is normal enforce kernel is not seandroid
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] TheMasterMindGT:
Thanks for the comments, and I did wait 20 minutes remove the battery and restart again to wait another 20 minutes, so connect the phone to the charger and perform three wipe data and cache, restart and then leave it all night but the result it was the same. :confused:
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] noamparn:
I'm on rooted PB1 (with the OD5 bootloader, because I rooted through the old NI2 method, and upgraded from there using the stock rooted updates).

I don't have TWRP on my phone - don't I need an unlocked kernel to install it in the first place?

Can I flash PB1_Kernel_Recovery_Only.zip using FlashFire instead?

Do I need to flash the regular PB1 kernel first?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] jrkruse:
If you wipe data you must reflash superSu zip. Wipe data again reflash supersu zip and try agian. If still doesnt work wipe data including internal storage(you will loose everthing on internal storage) reboot back to bootloader and reflash Modified_PD1_System_Firmware_For_Root.tar.md5 in odin and try again

[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] SoccerRef12:
Just my opinion.... didn't want to wait so just flashed the PB1 tar file to get back to stock and took the OTA update to MM. Isn't that the same as the unrooted ROM? You can always flash the PB1 tar file to get back to LP and root again, if you want.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] Stupifier:
LOL... Ya, I know about it.... But that isn't a universal unlock method. In other words, everyone with Toshiba emmc chips are completely left behind right now (MM root and bootloader unlocking not currently possible).

Anyone with a DEV Unlocked rooted MM want to try one of the international MM Note 5 or S7 ports here is a patch to get them working

Just flash right after you flash the rom. This patch will also work on most international s5 Stock TW MM builds also

wifi and capacitive buttons not working

I followed jrkruse directions exactly coming from a unlocked bootloader and his PB1 rom. MM installed fine, bootloader is unlocked, but for some reason wifi and capacitive buttons are not working. I've gone back and reflashed through Odin the modified PD1 tarball and gotten SU back on with TWRP, but wifi and capacitive buttons still don't work. Any ideas?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] Wynnded:
Which MM ROM did you install?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] mingshui:
Modified_PD1_System_Firmware_For_Root.tar.zip

Everything went smoothly. The bootloader unlock apk installed great and no issues except for needing to pull battery after getting stuck on verizon red screen after SU flash. I'm doing a full system wipe and reflashing the above tarball now. If that fails, I'm probably going back to PB1 and waiting for a rom. But was hoping for any ideas about how to get back button and wifi working without having to go back to PB1. Also, noticed that it's not reading my SD card either.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] noamparn:
After following the steps for unlocking my bootloader, upgrading to MM, and unlocking again (over here: http://xdaforums.com/verizon-galaxy-s5/development/rd-unlocking-galaxys-s5-bootloader-t3337909), I was on stock rooted MM, with an unlocked bootloader (that part worked - Yay!). Things went south, however, when I tried to restore the backup I'd made using FlashFire. It restored fine (I restored Data only), but then the phone got stuck on the Verizon boot screen. I tried a battery pull, and tried again - waiting another 20 minutes or so, but it wouldn't boot. So, I booted to TWRP, wiped the data partition, re-flashed the SuperSU zip, and it booted fine (took a few minutes the first time). I made sure I was still rooted on MM, and tried restoring the FF backup a second time. I waited over an hour the second time, but all I succeeded in doing was running down my battery (apparently it wasn't pulling enough juice from my charger during that part of the boot cycle).

So, I gave up (for now), since it was 1 AM, and I needed my phone to at least be functional in the morning. I spent 2 hours reinstalling some of my apps, and re-configuring everything. However, there are some data files and settings (especially custom actions in Tasker) that I can't re-create.

Does anyone know how I might be able to get the FF backup to restore? If I backup my wife's GS5 (still on PB1 rooted, locked bootloader), can I restore my backup to it? That would allow me to manually copy off those files I need, then restore her backup back to her phone. Is there any way to re-construct the files in Windows, so I can just grab the ones I need?

I guess the other way to do it would be to backup the current MM data, then *safely* roll back to PB1, restore my old backup, extract the files I need, then roll forward again and restore the MM backup.

Can anyone give me the procedure to safely roll back to rooted PB1?

Thanks.

--Noam
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] jrkruse:
You cannot restore data from a lollipop data the dalvik cache is different and so is the data
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] noamparn:
Thanks for confirming.

Would I have run into the same problem if I'd done individual apps with Titanium?

Is there a way I can do this sequence (without having to do everything from scratch):

Use FF to back up the current MM data

Roll the phone back to LP

Restore the LP backup

Back up the files and settings I need (either manually exporting or maybe using Titanium)

Roll forward to MM

Restore the MM backup I'd made

*All while keeping root and the unlocked bootloader on MM? *

Alternatively, can I restore a FF backup to a different LP phone (my wife's)?

Thanks.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] TheMasterMindGT:
Personally I restore my apps from LP to MM in S5 Verizon with titanium backup but only third-party apps, all I did from a update.zip created from titanium backup and then flasher with TWRP. and everything is running smoothly.

[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] noamparn:
I ran into a snag when I followed the procedure as well. Odin didn't want to flash the zip file.

I had to extract the tar from it first (I looked at the instructions several times - I didn't find that mentioned anywhere). However, Odin was bogging down trying to verify the hash on the file - the answer was to just give it a few more minutes to do that, then I was able to flash it.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] Stupifier:
Patience is always the answer LOL
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] noamparn:
Actually, in this case, I did need the patience, *but* I also needed to guess the missing step of extracting the tar file fro the zip first. :)
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] jrkruse:
I would try the process again if you have twrp installed flash the pb1 stock boot and recovery zip if you don't have twrp installed flash the the odin pb1 stock boot recovery md5 in odin the proceed from there by flashing mm bootloaders unlock again etc.

Sorry I just assumed if people have rooted unlocked their phone. That they would know odin does not flash zip files. I will add that step to instructions to save future problems

Hello,

I read all the posts since the MM update, and would like some clarification. Is the procedure in the OP confirmed to work or problematic?

I followed all the steps, and reflashed the bootloader in ODIN but can only get so far as the Verizon screen on boot up.

Please advise, as the OP's method has always worked for me for previous updates. Thank you.

It seems to be related to the size of sdcard being used the best luck is with HC 16gb or less and class 6 or less.

i haven't tried flashing anything yet, because i dont want to accidentally lock my bootloader again, wanted to see how someone else with an unlocked bootloader did it but the steps aren't clear

And for now I ask that Everyone

keep the discussion on topic

which is the unrooted stock ROM's in the OP in order to avoid making this thread even more confusing. The ROM's are intended for locked bootloader users

only

at this time. When I get a chance I will see if I can incorporate some guidance for those that want to use the ROM's with unlocked bootloaders. Thanks.

Does G900V_PD1_Stock_Rooted_ROM.zip have Wifi Hotspot?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] FMinMI:
I have used this forum to move from LP 4.4.4 to PB1 on my rooted (but locked bootloader) S5 and also added the HotSpot 'addendum' but read about the latest update and like some of the new features in PD1. In reading a number of posts it appears that the only way to stay rooted is to use the "G900V_PD1_Stock_Rooted_ROM.zip (For "Unlocked" Bootloaders Only!)" ROM but unlocking the bootloader trips the Knox bit. As my phone is under warranty, I would prefer not to do that.

Are people working on a PD1_Stock version that allows you to stay rooted without unlocking your BL like with the PB1 ROM? Or has VZN done something to prevent that?

Thanks for any insight.

My bootloader is locked but I am rooted. so would I lose root if i follow instructions for locked bootloaders? I'm guessing yes since the rom says unrooted next to it?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] Stupifier:
Yes, under current instructions, you would lose root if you followed the locked bootloader instructions. In addition, Current Unlock Bootloader method requires Samsung 15' eMMC only. Toshiba 11' eMMC S5's are out of luck. Read the instructions to find out what type of eMMC your S5 is.
