So i have a problem. I installed this Rom on my SG5 I got last week. When I received it it was on 5.0, forget the firmware, but I downgraded to NCG build, rooted, and installed safestrap, etc...

So while looking for clean 5.0 based Roms, I found this ROM, and installed it, but I lost Root. While looking for methods to Root this version I saw that not only OE1 is unrootable (which I quickly learned while reading threads for the last 4 days), but anything above OE1 is unrootable, including BOG5 as you stated in this thread:

http://xdaforums.com/verizon-galaxy-s5/general/g900vvru2bog5-factoryodintarimage-t3179527/page5?nocache=1

Please tell me what I can do to regain root preferably on this ROM.

If not, Can I load one of my backups of my NCG? If this is possible? How do I go about doing that without Safestrap working?

I really appreciate any help you can provide.

---------- Post added at 08:17 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:35 PM ----------

So I went ahead and downgraded back to NCG..phewwww....I have been rooted since the Droid 1, and cannot imagine life without it. Neverthless, Could you give me a suggestion for one of your custom 5.0 Roms that is root enabled, and any thing that I need to know before going back to 5.0?

I see a lot of people remaining o 4.4.2, is it because messing with 5.0 puts one in danger of loosing root capabilities for ever?

Sorry for the scare.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] jrkruse:
You need to explain what you did in detail. Like what rom you flashed what you used Safestrap Or FF. What firmware your on ETC!
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] buck49311:
Thanks a bunch for your quick response

The original Rom of yours that I flashed was the BS free Google Version. You seem to make a lot of contributions to the GS5 and would like to continue using one of your Lollipop ROMS on it.

The fix I just did was to use ODin to reapply: ALL_VZW_G900VVRU1ANCG_G900VVZW1ANCG_964333_REV00_u ser_low_ship_MULTI_CERT.tar

This appeared to fix everything:

Now I am back on Android 4.4.2

Model is SM-G900V

Baseband NCG

Kernel3.4.0: MArch 31, 2014

I have a Verizon phone.

Where do you advise I go from here
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Quie2TP:
I flashed the google version and can not find a text messages app. Am I missing something.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] buck49311:
When I originally tried to Flash the BS Free Rom, I used SafeStrap.

Where I likely messed up was forgetting to add the firmaware and kernel files to the zip file sequence in Safe strap. When the phone booted up it got stuck at the Black Samsung S5 screen. I then used Odin to flash: VZW_BOG5_RETAIL_FULL_FIRMWARE_WITH_BOD5_BL.tar.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] vu84:
umm.. i flashed the samsung verision cant set lockscreen wallpaper and hd calling dont work. gonna try again

---------- Post added at 01:06 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:01 PM ----------

ok figured out how to set lockscreen wallpaper. hd calling doesnt seem to sick?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Quie2TP:
How did you figure out the lock screen wallpaper? I can't find it.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] vu84:
gotta go to gallery find the pic you want and upper right hand corner the 3 dots. hit that and go down to set as.

---------- Post added at 01:37 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:37 PM ----------

can anyone confirm the hd calling working???
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Quie2TP:
Ahhh , thank you. It was driving me nuts.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] vu84:
can you please check if advanced calling is working for you?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Quie2TP:
It is not. Haven't been able to get it working on the last 3 Roms. Doesn't bother me much, though.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Quie2TP:
Ok, I flashed jk's stock rom and had the same problems doing a clean install both times. Did a little reading and seems the auto brightness can be the culprit. I unchecked that and have not had the problem since. Not sure what's causing this, would like to get some other opinions, as I use that quite a bit.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] CVertigo1:
Is anybody having issues with navigation? Within the past couple weeks I have noticed that my google maps will not navigate. I click the navigation arrow, it starts to load, then goes back to the navigation arrow screen. It will not load up. I downloaded another navigation app, and it will not find my location. If I have Google Maps open without navigating anywhere, then my location pointer moves normally as I drive, indicating that it knows where I am.

I have tried everything, including dirty flashing, updating apps, downgrading apps, clean wipe, and factory reset. I can't figure it out. Does anybody have any insight? Better yet, does anybody know the apk responsible for location services?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] TheTrueGatorman:
It sounds like you might be in "Power Save Mode," when you need to be in "High accuracy." Check location settings.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] CVertigo1:
I'm in high accuracy mode.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] TheTrueGatorman:
Perhaps a new download of the Rom. Correct firmware? I've had solid GPS.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] CVertigo1:
My GPS was working flawless till one day. I have modified the ROM quite a bit, but GPS was still working after work. I did a fresh reinstall and still got nothing. For some reason I didn't think about flashing the firmware again. I'm going to give that a try now.

Thank you for the update! Any issue flashing the dark it up theme with the new google version or will it be updated too?

Thanks again JK

I love your work it is wonderful keep up the great work my friend :good:
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] jrkruse:
If anyone is experince some FC issues with certain apps like skype causing launcher crash or playstore crash for example. Flash this fix zip

Edit: On the Joker Theme I used A blackout version of Hangouts YouTube and Calendar from TBO so dont update those apps or you will loose the black background in those apps

Also I noticed the high volume warning is still poping up so I will have to check that out some more

Edit: Fix for High Volume warning and FC issues

[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] jrkruse:
You can still use the BS Dark IT UP Theme. I will update that one of these days but the current version will work fine
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] PartyDroid:
yes i have been getting FC on TW. and i've noticed that every time that i try to hit the back button it would not do any thing. so i had to hit home button. then when my screen blacks out in to sleep when i wake it up it would go back to what every app i was on last b4 hitting the home button last b4 sleep. i have to power it off and restart so that it would quite that silly stuff but every time it would do that. (B4 APPYING YOUR NEW MOD UPDATE WILL LET YOU KNOW WHAT HAPPENS AFTER APPLYING). when installing your theme version XXX i always do a cash and dalvit wipe. after the install of the theme.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] blair.sadewitz:
Any suggestions on how I could get location working? I use it for various things. ;)

Also, if you happen to issue another update, you might as well throw SecLiveWallpapersPicker in there. Thanks for this joker theme again.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] jrkruse:
I reuploaded the Fix FC Mod and Volume warning zip because there was an md5 check problem

[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] jrkruse:
Try installing stock rom then get gps lock then install another rom

If that doesnt work maybe try THIS
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] blair.sadewitz:
Oh, sorry, I wasn't specific enough. I don't have any problems getting a GPS Fix. What I can't do is save a location, e.g. "Home", "Work", etc. Also, usually it has the three default locations you can set, but with the bsfree ROMS, there are no default locations--it asks you to name the location when you set it. It says "press + to add a location". Then, if you go to set the location, there's a FC after you try to save it.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] rjm12rjm12:
Can we dirty flash this update?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Badger50:
I did on the Google version. Working like a charm. Do FC's at all.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] PartyDroid:
Update On my last statement

[MENTION=1949695]jrkruse[/MENTION]

Thanks for all the updates they have helped a lot. My only request is that i do not have SPlanner on this rom so i would like to know if you can point me to the right place to get the files or zips so that i can install them please. Other than that this Rom is Far out the Best. :good::laugh::D
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] jrkruse:
Splanner is included in the regular BS Free rom
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] PartyDroid:
I found an old file that you gave me many months ago that had it in it so i just reloaded that and it worked like a charm. Thanks
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] blair.sadewitz:
The GPS works fine. The problem is that I cannot store a location. If I go into location settings, where there is usually "Home", "Work", etc. listed, there is nothing. There is the '+' button to add a location, though. If I attempt to use that, I get a Settings FC _after_ it gets the fix, i.e. when I attempt to store the location.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] CVertigo1:
Does anyone else have any issues flashing the theme? Mine bootlooped on two occasions. Once was right after dirty flashing V2, and the other was after wiping the phone completely, flashing V2, going through setup, then flashing the theme.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] jrkruse:
Are you flashing the new themes v5 on regular joker theme and version 1 on Google Joker theme
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] jrkruse:
All that stuff is removed
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] snowrelyt:
Is it just me or is Pushbullet not working on v2? even with v3 updates?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] CVertigo1:
Google theme V1 on Google V2. Maybe I misunderstood. I assumed the V1 theme meant the first version of themes for the Google only ROM. Did it mean themes for the first version of No BS Google? Should I be using V5 instead?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] PartyDroid:
request for Install

Could you please make an install steps?

because i am not sure IF this is the right order

1.) BS Rom choice

2.) Theme Splanner fix with TW Fix

3.) Theme v1

4.) Theme v5

5.) Reboot and let the magic run wild.

Please correct me if i am wrong.

Thanks in advance.

[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] PartyDroid:
Is step 3 needed in what i am doing or not?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] CVertigo1:
I attempted this, set permissions, and I couldn't get into the hidden service menu. I figured it was because it wasn't for this particular ROM. I pulled all the files from the factory ROM, then set permissions, and it still didn't work. I tried a hidden menu app, and I can't get into the hidden service menu. Perhaps there is another app I'm missing for the hidden menu?

I finally got the hidden menu to work right after I posted that, but it won't bring up the system options like the post says. Am I missing something?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] octavioromo:
Awesome work my favorite S5 rom! Have the Google V2 and the FC update and I seem to have lost flashlight toggle.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] TheTrueGatorman:
You can try resetting your quick toggles, within the stock settings. This should bring back the toggle.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] octavioromo:
I was excited to try that out, but it's still not there unfortunately. Thanks, didn't even see the option to try to reset.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] jrkruse:
Here flash this

[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] octavioromo:
Perfect! That worked, it only showed 16 before. Now I have 29 including the flashlight. You're awesome!
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] jrkruse:
Yes this was a script from my moar rom thats why it added all toggles. Just remember some of them wont work because of things I removed
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] :
Installed the V2 update to the Google edition and some app will not install. Saying its not compatible with this device. When they worked on the initial release... Any ideas?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] jrkruse:
Clear data on the play store
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] :
I've done that to no avail. Also un-installed updates, force stopped. Rebooted, cleared dalvik, cleared cache. Nothing

Might have something to do with the build.prop?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] jrkruse:
Removed
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] jrkruse:
Give me an example
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] :
I've started from scratch. Used FlashFire to wipe everything, re-installed the ROM and so far looks good. I'll let you know if it happens again.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] octavioromo:
I'm still getting random force closes after flashing v3
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] grnsl2:
Very excited, saw the fc on Skype, welcome update!

Looks like the first flash didn't take with FF. Odin back to NCG to towel root etc. Now, looking to jump back to this, thinking i'd just pick the ROM i want and fly but i've soft bricked into factory recovery now 3 times. I must be missing something?

Edit: ended up Odin back to NCG one more time rooted and loaded FF, then upgrade to OE1. FF again to this ROM. Seems to work no problem now.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] grnsl2:
Getting a few force closes on various programs after re flashing cleanly with FF. Only been on this version for about 2 days but the good news is skype is not force closing anymore. :)

Anyone else?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] btonetbone:
I am getting FC on a few apps as well, such as the Delta app. I did a clean install of Google v2 and the mod to resolve FCs.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] grnsl2:
I've found it's consistent with the same apps at least so it's repeatable. Hopefully jr can find cause. If there's a way to help I can.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] jrkruse:
Give me an example of the apps so I can look into it
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] btonetbone:
For me, Fly Delta is the one that always force closes.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] grnsl2:
WeatherBug, SpeedTest and Honeywell thermostat but not till you log in on honeywell... If I hit others I'll be sure to let you know.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] jrkruse:
See if this fixes the problems

MOD_UPDATES_BS_ROM_V4.zip
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] grnsl2:
Interesting. Some apps are okay, some now won't load data at all. Speed test is good, but weather bug, yahoo fantasy football or reddit is fun isn't loading.

Here's some examples of what I see.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] jrkruse:
They work fine for me
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] grnsl2:
Just dawned on me, in order to use flash fire we reset the date a couple months back. I don't know why apps rely so heavily on that but corrected the date and so far everything does look good. Sorry for that last misunderstanding but hopefully we're good!

Thanks for this fix!
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] btonetbone:
This has fixed both Fly Delta and Speedtest for me. If I see any issues, I'll report back. But for now, everything appears to be great! Thanks!
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] octavioromo:
i tried this out using FF and my phone is stuck in the boot screen. Tried a few battery pulls. Still gets stuck in the boot screen unfortunately. was thinking of going back to Safe strap and wiping cache and dalvik and flashing V4 again. Any suggestions? Thanks!
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] jrkruse:
It will take a long time to reboot give it like 10 min or so
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] snowrelyt:
I don't know what you did, but this fixed Pushbullet for me.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] octavioromo:
Waited a few time longer than 15. eventually i flashed ncg kernel, dirty flashed V2 Google, wiped cache and dalvik, then flashed V4. All good so far! thanks for all the hard work!

Is there a way to get the stop camera on the google? It seems to be a bit slower and less quality. Any other suggestions on the camera app?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] jrkruse:
Here you go this also has higher quality limits set and low battery restriction removed. Just flash in recovery

jrkruse thanks for keeping this device relevant and fun. One app that fc's for me is Viggle. Everything else is fine since your latest mod. Using Google deodexed.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] samcoinc:
Thank you! The version 1 rom was working great - the only issue I was having was the shortcuts to the camera and phone on the lock screen didn't work. Flashing to V2 and the patch fixed the problem. (although I did clear the dvcache and cache at the same time...)

Awesome build!

thanks again - now on 2 galaxys - wife and mine - tracfone and straighttalk.

[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] samcoinc:
Ok - now I have screwed something up. Now when I go to the gallery from the phone it says 'unfortunalty gallery has stopped' I have tried clearing data and cache on both phone and gallery. I even cleard dvcashe and cache and re-flashed v2 rom.

I can't seem to find how to change the default camera gallery app either. goggle photos works but there is not way to set the phone to use it as far as I can see.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] :
Apex launcher keeps FC'ing. Happens at random (when opening apps). However I am using NOVA and was wondering if I can remove Apex? I don't want to get stuck with a black screen by removing it. Any advice?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Badger50:
If your using Nova, then your fine to either freeze or uninstall apex.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] samcoinc:
update - after screwing around with it - I got it to bootloop :). So i reinstalled the stock image and started over. now gallery seems to work.

odd
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] jrkruse:
AOSP launcher is also included so if you remove apex it will default to it so you won't get stuck with a black screen. Clearing data on apex usually fixes it
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] jrkruse:
Stock gallery was modified on Google edition to only be used as wallpaper picker. I will upload a new camera zip with stock gallery

Is anybody having any external SD issues? My 64g Samsung EVO got corrupted, so I fixed it with FSCK, recovered my files, and reformatted it. My computer could see it fine with a micro SD reader, but my phone had issues picking it up. Sometimes it would mount to the phone and show files, other times it would mount and show no files, but it did register that it was half full. I figured that my card was done for, so I bought a new SanDisk Ultra 128g and it is doing the same thing. I even tried my old 32g Samsung Evo and it does the same thing. All the cards were formatted with Windows, then reformatted in the phone. If I put my 16g Sandisk from another phone in there, it registers perfectly fine and shows all the files on it, but I never formatted that card with Windows or this phone. Could the format feature be buggy in the ROM?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] sean19661:
Are they fat32
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] CVertigo1:
The 32g is Fat32, formatted by the phone. The 64g and 128g are exFat, formatted by the phone.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Nightstalk3rs:
I'm having a really weird issue where all of a sudden app updates do not stick and whenever i uninstall an app, it seemingly reinstalls on it's own. Any idea why this might be happening?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] CVertigo1:
I have issues uninstalling apps as well, and I haven't been able to figure that one out yet. As for the updates not sticking, go into your /data/app folder and you'll see that there will be multiple folders for those affected apps, labeled -1, -2, -3, -4, -5,... Find the most recent folder for that app and keep it, then delete the duplicates. Rename the newest one to -1. After you reset the phone, android will optimize the app and all will be good. Depending how many times you hit update is how many folders you'll have. I'm not sure what causes the duplicate folders, but I do know how to get them to stick lol.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] sean19661:
Format one of the sd cards you are having problems with in fat32 use windows to format it to fat32 their have been people who had this problem because it wasn't fat32
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] CVertigo1:
You are the man! I did this and it seems to be working very well. I had heard something about this before, but I was always under the impression that Fat32 limited usage to 32g, rendering anything above 32g useless. It looks like I have full access to all 128g of the card, but I haven't verified that yet. I am using 40g of it now, which kills the 32g limit theory lol.
