Ok. Now I am on 5.0, rooted, and on unlocked bootloader.

Now Do I want the unlocked stock, or unlocked debloated?

Also,

I have safestrap installed, but it hangs at the sansung bootloader screen rather than go to the recovery.

Any Ideas on this?

Also,

I think I'm Soft Bricked

So I followed the directions on the OP. I had KitKat 4.4.4 on my S5 with ANK2. The phone never rebooted to download mode while I was using FF, so I had to manually do it. Now I'm getting a screen that says "Start Up Failed: Your device didn't start up successfully. Use the Verizon Software Assistance on a computer to repair your device". At the top left of the screen in red ascii text it says "Secure Fail: Kernel". When I reboot at the top in red it flashes "Kernel is not seandroid enforcing".

Can anyone help me out of this pickle?

Edit: I was able to load stock PB1 and then continue with the instructions.

Screen Won't Rotate

So I updated to the Debloated Deodoxed version for the locked bootloader and now my screen wont rotate. I checked and the gyro is working fine. Thoughts?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] vrahn:
MM doesn't have screen rotation. You will need to dl an app for that
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] SoccerRef12:
MM does have screen rotation. I'm on stock MM and my screen rotated fine. Must be an issue with your ROM.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] Aerofan81:
Any suggestions?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] asharma56:
I had the same issue but was coming from stock and debloating myself. I was a bit excited and over debloated and bang upon reboot the screen rotation would be gone. I then read multiple posts where if specific verizon/samsung files were uninstalled in tibu that rotation would break all the way back to kitkat. Anyhow, went to this old thread (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2784891) , froze most, and only removed the ones stated as removed and screen rotation is all good.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] SoccerRef12:
I specifically remember that if S Health was removed, screen rotation broke.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] Aerofan81:
So it looks like I'm going to have to go full stock on MM in order to get screen rotation. Kind of a bummer. I hope that they figure out out to root this system soon. I had KitKat 4.4.2 and upgraded, but now I'm kind of regretting it.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] SoccerRef12:
Just don't remove S Health, which also removed some system file tied to screen rotation, and you should be fine. This is an issue that went back to KK ROMs.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] asharma56:
MM is rootable w/unlocked bootloader. As I was messing up with screen rotation; I kept going back to odin PB1 full factory, root (http://xdaforums.com/verizon-galaxy-s5/general/root-method-og5-ok3-t3290370) , unlock bootloader (http://xdaforums.com/verizon-galaxy-s5/development/rd-unlocking-galaxys-s5-bootloader-t3337909), install TWRP, then follow quoted text of post 849 of this thread.Only variance was instead of using the samsungunlockers5.apk, i substituted w/the no sd version found in another thread around here. Did this at least 8x in the past 3 days with no problems. Had to do it 8x because i kept over debloating, installed xposed when I shouldn't have or something else while being overzealous. Good luck.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] Aerofan81:
S Health was not removed from the Debloated Deodexed version. It's on my phone right now, but the rotation still doesn't work.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] SoccerRef12:
That was the culprit back on the KK days. May be another Samsung app that's debloated that's causing the issue. You might have to look at the difference between the two ROMs to figure out which one it is. Personally, I just freeze system apps I don't want instead of deleting them just because of this issue.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] Aerofan81:
I think I'm going to have to go full stock ROM on this one for the time being. I can't freeze apps because I can't root. and I can't root, because I can't unlock the bootloader. I can't unlock the bootloader because for some reason I have the Toshiba 11 EMMC CID on my phone. So, I'm stuck I think at this point.

Unless anyone knows a way to unlock the boot loader on Toshiba 11 EMMC S5s yet?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] SoccerRef12:
Most apps you can 'disable' which is the same as freezing.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] asharma56:
Damn, that's right, your Toshiba 11 is just unlucky, didn't think about that. The next post seems to be the best bet. Sorry for not being much help.

PD1 dirty flash.

[MENTION=4736244]TheMasterMindGT[/MENTION] Just wanted to say my pedometer in S Health is working properly using the same G900V_PD1_Stock_Rooted_ROM.zip file, but I did not follow the typical installation found here.

Take all this with a grain of salt, make plenty of backups, and pray! Also wanted to thank [MENTION=1949695]jrkruse[/MENTION] for posting so many fixes over the life of this phone without those files I'd be lost! Also wanted to thank everyone that was listed in the below url in the OP.

Here is what I did.

Started with a PB1 version of the ROM posted by [MENTION=4708661]muniz_ri[/MENTION] and followed the bootloader unlock thread by [MENTION=5414005]GeTex[/MENTION] (my bootloader was at version PB1)

Ran a full NANDROID backup of PB1.

Followed the instructions from jrkruse in the following thread http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=65870894&postcount=1 specifically UNLOCK MM BOOTLOADER AND UPGRADE TO MARSHMALLOW

Reboot to TWRP Recovery

Install Safestrap_MM_Updater.zip

Reboot Phone

Phone will reboot to enter Safestrap. I hope people remember how to do this! As phone is booting click the safestrap button on the lower left corner of phone when it appears. If you miss this you will have to use odin and flash kitkat kernel and try again. The screen to enter safestrap only last 5 seconds Try to make it to safestrap the first time! This is the only time you will need to!

In Safestrap Flash PD1_Bootloader_Unlock.zip

Phone will power off

You now should be unlocked Reboot straight to TWRP recovery so it will stick Once in recovery you can do full wipe and install Rom.

Rom Will Take like 15 minutes to bootup

​

For the following area I used the BETA-SuperSU-v2.74-2-20160519174328.zip from above and twrp-3.0.0-0-klte-klte.img.tar from http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=65872958&postcount=2 posted again by jrkruse in the link for "Here A Folder Containing Some Useful Odin And Flashable Firmware Zips"

Shutdown

Restart into recovery

Install TWRP via ODIN

Boot into TWRP

Backup Data and cache from PD1 just in case

Restore Data from above backup PB1

Wipe > advanced wipe > Cache

Install BETA-SuperSU-v2.74-2-20160519174328.zip and go back to main menu and reboot > power off

Power On (may reboot 1-2 times at the boot loader screen)

It will need 15 mins again

Once booted up go into settings > applications > application manager > Google Play Services

click storage and clear cache then manage storage and clear all data and reboot otherwise you'll get a Google Play Services needs to update error even though its already updated.

Been running all day no issues with stability, WiFi, Bluetooth etc.

Day 2: Glitch: If I enable Airplane mode then disable it the pedometer stops counting, a reboot fixes it.

Is this normal or do I need to start over and from what point?

Also screen rotation is not working, I realize its the debloated issue.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] muniz_ri:
Yes, the "not seandroid enforcing" msg is to be expected since the rom uses a modified kernel required for root access.

Edit: Uploading new Deodexed Debloated ROM files that should resolve the screen rotation issue.

Use Package Disabler Pro from the Play store to disable bloat. It does not require root access.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] Kaliaila:
Is there a way that those of us who already have the rom installed can fix it without having to re-flash the rom?

If not, will we have to re-setup the phone again? Or can we just do a dirty flash on this and be ok?

Or will a patch zip be included separately as well, that we could flash just to fix the screen rotation issue?

I had a long night at work, and it's late; so if a couple these are questions I should know the answers to I blame that on being exhausted.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] TheMasterMindGT:
Hello friends inform you that also install the version - G900V_PD1_Stock_Deodexed_Debloated_Rooted_ROM.zip and here I found the bugs are: the pedometer and display rotation, do not work. [MENTION=4708661]muniz_ri[/MENTION]
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] Kaliaila:
This was known. You need to flash the newly uploaded version of the rom. That will fix the issues. A dirty flash will work, just edit the wipedata.sh.

I returned to the version that I compile [MENTION=1949695]jrkruse[/MENTION] to make sure my pedometer was not broken, this was the first process for root, in which has already been removed, but ne this rom stock MM the only limitation you have is the Hotspot wifi the which is locked, you currently have some zip flasher for PD1 MM [MENTION=4708661]muniz_ri[/MENTION] separately as you did in previous versions.

PS: The pedometer works 100% with this version, for some reason my phone VZN with version G900V_PD1_Stock_Rooted_ROM.zip not function the pedometer.

Still looking for someone to try this. If it works we will at least have a way to get back root if on BOE1 bootloader
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] muniz_ri:
Already tested when first released and we know that the kernel has not been blacklisted. The question is whether or not system has been blacklisted. But nobody that took the oe1 ota should test flash a previous firmware until the oe1 .tar is available as an unbrick method.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] jrkruse:
Here is the Modded NCG Tar Image file. The worst it should do is fail in the flashing if it is not going to work but Like you said maybe wait until tar image is out. But if anyone is brave and wants to try here you go.

Modified_NCG_Firmware.tar.zip

If you try and it fails all you should need to do is reflash the stock BOE1 Kernel

VZW_BOE1_RETAIL_KERNEL_ONLY.tar.md5
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] TheMasterMindGT:
Good day everyone, I have read tirelessly throughout the forum, looking for ways to get root access to LRX21T.G900VVRU1BOC4 lollipop and estou a bit tangled.

1. I can not install Flashfire (no root access).

2. Since we do not have root access I can not install the flash or zip ota.

My question is? there any way I can get root access for my S5 Verizon lollipop 5.0.?

Thank you very much for your help.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] leapedyears:
Sadly I took the OE1 ota, but I'd like to wait until I know for certain that I won't make my phone a paper weight. Any idea when the oe1.tar will be out? (I don't know if this is a Samsung/VZW release delay, or if it requires the work from you wonderful devs. I mean no complaint by asking when it will be out. Much thanks to everyone working on this!)
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] CamCroz99:
You have to flash back to NCG first, root and then update. This is copied directly from the OP

I know this works because I have done it. As long as you're not on OE1, you can download. If you're on OE1 via OTA, DO NOT ATTEMPT THIS! It will brick your phone.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] simplepinoi177:
Thank you for the response and help Spartan117H3. I really appreciate it.

You are correct about it being v22. I apologize, it was a very late night. So I have been using both v21 and v19.

I hadn't checked the md5 last night, but I have now just checked all the files involved (both downloaded on the computer as well as the file used in the phone) and the md5 matches.

So what ended up happening is in order to get back to OC4 to get FF restore working was I had to use the unbrick NCG rom method, install towelroot, busybox, superuser, and safestrap-for-KK, and install OC4 rom, install FF and restore it then. Everything was restored perfectly.

But now I am back to square one and extremely worried. I will try again, but I am sure that I am following the steps correctly. I am setting the display to 10 minutes. I am using the latest FF (v21). I am coming from OC4 rooted. I am using files that match the md5. I am unchecking auto-mount and anything under everroot.

I will try again later today, but if/when I do get stuck again on the Samsung splash screen...is there anymore ideas or does anyone else have any other ideas? Thanks in advanced.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] TheMasterMindGT:
thanks [MENTION=5452127]CamCroz99[/MENTION] I will download the firmware from SamMobile NCG and I will install ODIN then I'll get root installing G900VVRU1ANCG_Full_Wipe_Odin.tar also using ODIN, then I follow the tutorial
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] tsew2674:
I did this earlier today with the exact same setup and it worked flawlessly, I suspect you had a corrupt file. You should be fine the second time around.

I got the same thing, I'm guessing that sdm had a cache or set a flag that an update was available and when we restored the data, that flag was restored as well. You could probably say okay and it would fail (I deleted the update.zip) but I was too nervous that I'd end up with the OE1 bootloader so I just froze SDM. Lol, thanks [MENTION=4708661]muniz_ri[/MENTION] again for keeping us up-to-date!!
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] simplepinoi177:
Thanks for the reassurance tsew2674.

I am also getting the OTA notification. I think it has something to do with the Build Number not displaying OE1 (and still displaying OC4 in my case)... I think someone should check on that....

P.S. at least Baseband version is showing OE1
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] tsew2674:
???...your build number should be at OE1...
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] simplepinoi177:
hmmmm maybe it has something to do with using the FF recovery to recover my data after flashing. Uh oh....I was hoping it wasn't just me :-\

So if I used FF to update to OE1, and used FF recovery but accidentally recovered more than I should have...what are my options now? Load the NCG rom, re-root, and use FF to flash OE1 and recover properly? Or do I have other routes?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] LeHorn:
I did the exact same steps. Phone is fine except for the apps that are on the SD card.

I did a full backup with FlashFire and Titanium. Any hints on how I get the SD Card apps back. The system just shows the generic Android SD icons with right name though.

Thanks.

Nevermind. It took quite a while, but they came back. All good now.

Btw, I don't experience any performance and battery improvements. It is still horrible. My device is warm.

Any ideas?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] tsew2674:
You shouldn't need to go back to NCG, just flash the OE1 file again from where you are, it should serve as a factory reset. Confirm that everything is right and then, if you'd like, restore just the data from FF.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] Grochien:
The built in google calendar and contact sync option under accounts has disappeared. Has anyone else had this issue?

History:

Went from OC4 to OE1 using this method, (to the letter) and did a backup and restore with FF to not lose data.

Then ran debloater.

I just today noticed that my calendars and contacts are not syncing.

I managed to restore calendar sync by reinstalling the service apk, but I can't find a good apk that will install the contact sync service.

If anyone could help me that would be great.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] SoccerRef12:
Have you tried to delete the data for the Google acct and set it up again?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] Grochien:
Not to sound rude, but Duh... lol.

That was the first thing I did.

The only reason I found a good APK for the cal sync is from here: neptuneninja dot com/fix-google-contact-and-calendar-sync/

That issue was pretty much what I needed. However, the contacts sync adapter fails install.

Can't post external links, first account here.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] SoccerRef12:
No problem. No chance that you have a backup of system apks with TiBu? (If you already tried this, no offense if you "duh" again...I'm just throwing ideas out there, lol).
