I too, have noticed this after trying to install the deodexed ROM on another S5.

There's no way to get past it to update from the Google Play Store.

It sits in a constant loop at "Checking connection..." and "Checking for updates..." while constantly giving the "Unfortunately, Google Play services has stopped." or "Unfortunately, the process com.google.process.gapps has stopped." before going back to the "Email Setup" screen. I'm not sure what's causing this but I am currently uploading the Deodexer zip I made and used on muniz_ri's OG5_Stock_Rooted_ROM.

Unfortunately, that may just need to be what everyone does for now because I haven't encountered this problem after dirty flashing the deodexed files over his odex ROM.

It will be uploaded in 15min and I am truly sorry for the inconvenience if my system.img is the cause of the problem.

---------- Post added at 05:05 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:01 PM ----------

Maybe muniz_ri may have a way to fix it. My system.img included in the deodexed ROM is what I'm using on my phone and I haven't encountered any errors or force closes.

[MENTION=2460732]Dudash[/MENTION] - thanks for confirming that I am not only one with this issue. I am a noobie & realize that I need to use ODIN to recover. I have searched but am still a little confused to which is best Rom for me to flash to recover. I'd really appreciate if you quickly advise what I should use with ODIN for my situation. Thanks in advance...
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] Dudash:
You'll have to use a full wipe NCG tar like the one in the OP.

Also, [MENTION=4708661]muniz_ri[/MENTION], I'd recommend removing the deodex ROM from the OP until we figure out the problem.

Here is the Deodexer zip: G900V_OG5_Deodexer.zip

Just install the OG5 Odex ROM following the instructions in the OP, then once it's booted up, update Google Play Services, then go back into FF and install the Deodexer.zip.

I have gotten several PM's asking about installing Deodexed version of this rom. You guys can use my BOG5 deodexed rom it works and can be flashed with either SafeStrap or FlashFire. Im sorry I cant answer questions about this rom as I havent tried to flash it. Here is link [MENTION=4708661]muniz_ri[/MENTION] just pm when you get your deodexed version working and I will take down this link
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] muniz_ri:
If you already have a working deodexed OG5 there is no need for me or anyone else to work on a second version. Everyone should just use your ROM.

[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] Spartan117H3:
I did a dirty flash (wipe dalvik + cache) from the OE1 deodexed to jrkruse's deodexed OG5

here

using Flashfire v0.21, flashed the safestrap update, flashed xposed framework, then debloated/debloated the extra junk that comes with OG5. Hotspot is working, and everything seems to be fine.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] Dakotahorse:
Just flashed Jrkruse deoxed, build is BOG5 but baseband is BOE1 is this how it should be?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] loonix:
No Baseband should be OG5 too. Did you flash the firmware linked in the OP?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] Spartan117H3:
What wipes did you do? Did you at least make sure to wipe dalvik cache and cache?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] Dakotahorse:
I flashed the deoxed one by jkruse. I'll try

The one from the OP, I did not do any wipes.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] Spartan117H3:
You should always wipe Davlik cache and cache partition when flashing a new rom (called a dirty flash). You don't need to do a factory reset if you were coming from OE1, so you still keep your data. I would try that before flashing the one in the OP, cause I dirty flashed the deodexed one from jrkruse and it works just fine.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] Dakotahorse:
I've never done that before, so noob question, what's the best way to do that?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] Spartan117H3:
You can use Flashfire, hit the + symbol, wipe, and ONLY check Dalvik Cache and Cache partition. Hit the check mark, then hit flash.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] Dakotahorse:
Ok, thanks for the info and help.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] TheMasterMindGT:
This is the newest rom for our verizon?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] Spartan117H3:
OG5 is the newest, yes. It only partially patches stagefright. If you are looking for the Deodexed version for Xposed, go here instead.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] Dakotahorse:
Worked like a charm, I have never had to do that before, thanks for the help!
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] Spartan117H3:
Your baseband is now fixed? Great. Rule of thumb is, if you're flashing a big change, eg 4.4.4 to 5.0, you have to do a factory wipe, wipe dalvik, and wipe cache(clean). Otherwise, just dalvik and cache(dirty). You can sometimes get away with dirty flashes, but other times/if you hit problems you should just do a factory reset as well to avoid complications. But always, at bare minimum, dalvik and cache should be wiped with firmware flashes.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] chaco81:
i am about to flash the OG5 on my brothers phone any day now (hes on OE1 atm)

he has asked me to make sure it doesnt wipe his phone..

has anyone successfully flashed OG5 after editing the script on the zip file and removing the "wipe" code?

i want to make sure i am not about to break something by removing that from the script..

thanks
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] SoccerRef12:
Just use FF to make a Normal backup and after the install of OG5, restore data only. It will be exactly the same as before, but OG5.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] Spartan117H3:
I hope you mean he's on OE1

rooted

, not OE1 from OTA.

I dirty flashed Jrkruse's deodexed rom, his doesn't have a wipe code, pretty sure, and it's basically the same:

You don't need to if you're doing a dirty flash, less work/time spent.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] SoccerRef12:
I was under the impression that FF wiped system when you flashed a ROM. I've always had fewer problems doing a clean install and restoring data. User's choice.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] Spartan117H3:
No, it only wipes if you tell it to, you have to hit + and add your wipe options to the list. I agree, clean wipe is generally the best. But OE1 to OG5 isn't really considered that big of an update, and I literally just clean installed and finished all my tweaks to OE1.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] chaco81:
yes, we are rotted OE1.... no OTA here ...we stay away from OTAs...

but i would not be doing the deodexed. we will do the simple "stock rooted" one, and if its just as his previous ones before, it wipes...

ill offer to do FF backup... if not i will edit the script
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] Dakotahorse:
Has anyone successfully installed xposed using the deodexed rom? I was looking at the Samsung version by arter97, and can I use flashfire?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] Badger50:
Working fine on my Verizon S5. I used the version 65 krait. The one at the bottom of the picture. And I used FF to flash the framework. Worked like a charm :)
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] Dakotahorse:
Flash it like a ROM right? Or firmware? Made my backup just incase...
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] Badger50:
Flash it like a .zip. Not firmware.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] Dakotahorse:
I'm not sure if this problem strings from after this update or after I did the xposed flash, but now after every reboot about 10 of the name apps always need an update from the play store... any ideas?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] pudnik:
root Samsung Galaxy S5 900V Android 5 without Towelroot or Kingroot

OK... big disappointment after successfully rooting my Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 android 4:

Towelroot will never be able to root a kernel dated June 4 2014 or later, and so until the Kingroot developers can find an exploit in Android 5 lollipop, the only way I know of to root a newer device is to go the whole replace bootloader - reflash ROM - Odin route. Which is complex and dangerous even for an intermediate, let alone a novice rooter.

Please let me know of a good forum that I can monitor so that I'll know ASAP when the KingRoot team finally releases a version that will root 2015-2016 phones.

Thanx.

[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] LongLiveCappy92:
I'm seeing this exact issue. Any apps I update before I reboot don't stick and need to be reinstalled after I restart the phone. I installed Xposed right after the deodexed rom, so I can't tell which one is the issue
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] ldeveraux:
You are either terribly off topic or posting in the wrong thread...
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] Spartan117H3:
The issue is the rom creating multiple files in /data/app. Deleting the earlier versions, renaming the last number to 1, then rebooting twice will fix it.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] CaptainRewind:
Great work as always, muniz_ri.

Thanks!
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] LongLiveCappy92:
I ended up just factory resetting, but CVertigo1 helped me out with this post for anyone else with the issue:

"I am having the same issue with my phone on BOG5, and I also had it on BOE1. I found the fix and documented it. There are two things you can do, follow my instructions on my post, or factory reset. The issue may arise again, so I just delete the affected duplicate files in the /data/app folder instead of taking the time to do a factory reset and start over. The highest numbered folder is the newest update, so delete the previous ones. I don't have a high enough post count, so I don't have permission to post in the main thread. Would you mind quoting my post and putting it in the current BOG5 thread? I think it will be helpful to a few people.

Just upgraded my S5 from OC4 to OG5. Everything looks great and works great... except an issue with wifi.

I am able to connect to wifi but for some reason after I restart the phone it doesn't remember any of the passwords and I have to re-enter.

I am wondering if anyone else has had a similar issue.

ive tried deleteing /data/misc/dhcp and restarting to no avail... wondering if this is more of a common problem. been using muniz_ri's guides since I root'd

I even performed a factor reset... didn't help :(
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] ldeveraux:
Do you have xposed or a drive cleaner installed? I have found that either of those (ccleaner) sometimes cause to forget network info
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] Spartan117H3:
Don't forget, stagefright isn't actually fully patched.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] BioSt0rm:
Fixed:

For some reason it had to do with a setting in the build.prop file that more than likely became fudged...

had to set the following line from:

ro.securestorage.support=true

to:

ro.securestorage.support=false

A quick reboot and the S5 was able to remember wifi passwords after power cycles.

Stuck in Bootloop please help!!!!

i was using flash fire to install rom that is on the page I did not let it finish and took the battery out. I am now stuck in a bootloop I have tried to flash stock firmware with Odin it says it passed but it still is stuck in a boot loop please I need help the phone was rooted also:D did I mess the phone up please help
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] Badger50:
You didn't mess up your phone. However, since you didn't let the rom fully install, it has nothing to boot into, and that's why your in the bootloop. You will need to Odin back to a NCG or N12 rom, root it, then start all over again. Know the feeling myself. Been there, done that. But it's not too bad if you take the time to read the instructions.

A kernel is not a rom. Go to the first page and read the notes #4. Follow the instructions there.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] Badger50:
What he said! But read, then re read, then read again before you start your flash fest :)

I downloaded the file that was in the notes but Odin could not find it because it had the extension "tar.rar" I changed the extension to "md5 & tar" but neither on worked is the anything else I can do to get the file to work :confused:

Kernel Question

Hello. I am currently running rooted, stock NK2. I am wanting to flash the deodexed OE1 rom. From what I have read here, if I'm correct, I need to do a factory reset, flash the OE1 rom and OD5 bootloader per the instructions on the first page, using Flashfire v.21. I also understand I need to flash the OE1 kernel separately, (which I downloaded from jrkruse's link), but I'm unclear as to when and how to do this. Do I use FF for that, and at what point in the process do I do that? Also, once this is all complete, can I safely restore data for my apps via TiBU? Yes, I'm somewhat of a noob. ☺
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] Badger50:
Did you try unzipping, or extracting the file first on your computer?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] tumbleweed65:
Redownload the rar file, extract it with 7zip then follow the previous said instructions
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] CaptainRewind:
Good point, Spartan117H3. I had forgotten, actually, so thanks.

At least now I have the half-assed patch, and I have again disabled auto-opening of MMS after upgrading. This update does fix my most annoying issue from the first Lollipop build: poor WiFi auto-reconnect, so at least it gives me something I wanted. ;)

G900V_OG5 Deodexed

HI two questions.

I am currently running G900V_OE1_Stock_Rooted_Deodexed_ROM.

1. I notice that the G900V_OG5_Stock_Rooted_Deodexed_ROM has been posted and removed a couple of times. Is there an issue with it or some other reason it is not posted in OP now?

2. Since Stagefright has not been fully patched in this version is it worth updating now or should I wait for the next update?

Thanks to All and Good Work! :good:
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] Spartan117H3:
OG5 is the latest, there's no reason to go OE1 over OG5 if you're going from KK to LP. The only reason you need the OG5 kernel is if you want to get back to your rom after using safestrap. If you are looking for the deodexed version, use Jruske's with the instructions here, but with the addition of adding a full wipe (flashfire can do that as well). No, I advise against restoring your apps/data via Titanium Backup. The reason is, KK to LP should have a full factory reset. The filesystem is different/new ART. I would say start manually installing stuff.

Note: If you don't have VolTE already, you should activate it first before going to LP, or follow Jruske's instructions to do so.

He said to use Jruske's deodexed, because it doesn't make sense to make two of them, and Muniz_ri's was having issues booting.

It's partially patched. Up to you. You can always dirty flash it if you want. Jruske's doesn't wipe, so you have to manually wipe dalvik cache and cache.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] Cappricorn:
OK. I was curious about the TiBU because I have several complex Tasker profiles I'd like to save as well the progress for a couple of games. Thanks for advice.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] Spartan117H3:
My best suggestion is, keep a backup of what you have, and go back and forth in case you forget how to set up your stuff. That's what I had to do. I don't have any better method of doing so. Game info is mostly stored online nowadays.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] SoccerRef12:
For some individual apps you can use TiBu to restore app data, but totally agree about manually installing apps when going from KK to LP. BTW, can't you backup Tasker within the app? Then you can really play it safe and restore your Tasker backup.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] Cappricorn:
I believe you are correct about backing up within Tasker... Duh, I didn't even think about that. ☺

Just tapped on FF to wipe cache and it won't load. I have now lost root and wonder if the two are related.? I see from OP that the beta has expired

Do I have to odin back to NCG to regain root access (never took OTA) I am BOG5 de-odexed

Odin back to NCG, Re-rooted w/towelroot. Screen timeout to 10 minutes. Added superSu. installed FF v19 and changed the date to Aug.

Flashed BOG5 deodexed, device will not boot. Battery pull.... repeat...will not boot.

Repeated the full process, but restored BOG5 backup from FF.

Hanging on samsung logo at boot. Waiting.....no boot

Repeated process and realized I needed to flash BL, step 7 in OP, since I previously downgraded to NCG ( i was no longer on LP BL).

SUCCESS
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] Spartan117H3:
There was no changes in this rom to change the network at all. I don't notice this issue you're having either.

Wiping shouldn't uninstall root. You're supposed to wipe cache/dalvik on a dirty flash, and wipe system if you're doing a factory reset (this rom does that though).

Latest version of FF Beta is 0.21 attached here (still have to set date to Aug 30, 2015).

Don't forget that Deodexed will stay on Verizon logo for up to 10 minutes.

Ok,

So I have successfully updated to OG5 - 5.0 and have root. THANK YOU so much for that! This is great. I am still very new to this so my next question may be obvious to you or out of place, please forgive me. So ... What next? I still have a bunch of Verizon stuff on there I can't use or don't want. How do I delete that? Also, I have been looking at a couple of ROM things. They look pretty cool but I am wondering, is there a way to add or remove stuff once a ROM has been set up on my phone. For example, say the ROM has a function I don't want (say screen mirroring), how do I remove that. What if the ROM didn't include multi window, could I add that? is there an afk file for all this stuff that just get's flashed? Someone please point me in the right direction.

Thank you in advance for your patience.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] Spartan117H3:
What you're talking about is called bloatware. What you want is called debloat/debloating. Depends on the rom, but if you debloat the wrong thing, it may or may not cause something else to not work, so back up before you do anything. You can use TitaniumBackup or RootToolbox, but I believe you need the pro version for some of the things. They're called APK's. APK's are application files, and it's not special, official play store apps are APK's as well. Either of the two apps I mentioned earlier should be able to back them up. The benefit of Titanium backup is that you can keep up to 5 copies of an application. Otherwise, RootToolbox does everything else and more.

As for what next? Do some browsing. You might be interested in Xposed (tweaks for the phone, you probably want the memory leak fix at least because you're on OG5), but you have to have the deodexed OG5.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] TheMuffnMan:
Personally, I picked up Titanium Backup and paid for the Pro key. I'll go through and backup and then uninstall all of the unwanted applications from the system and reboot in between every few of them or so.

Thank you both for the input. I have started looking around and deciding what to do. Titanium backup looks nice. Also, I found this thread ( http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2796260 )and the rom looks very cool so I may try it. Thanks for the pointers. I'm sure I'll have more questions soon.
