Restore your backup, dirty flash the rom, or possibly wipe cache and dalvik.

Very cool, downloading now. Maybe it's my old age (26 :p), or I'm just too busy, but all I want these days is a fast functional semi-stock rom without all of the themes and mods and fc's. Can't wait to see some of your marshmallow roms start rolling out.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] rjm12rjm12:
Well wiped cache and dalvik, now I am stuck at the "software update" screen. I think I may have to Odin back. Oh well.

---------- Post added at 10:26 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:36 AM ----------

OK so I did an Odin with this "VZW_BOG5_RETAIL_FULL_FIRMWARE_WITH_BOD5_BL.tar.zip", but I'm still stuck at the "software update" screen. Now what?

Thanks,

Rob
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] jrkruse:
Well I wouldn't get to excited about marshmallow roms from what I hear is the bootloader will have to be updated to use marshmallow kernel and we know what that means
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] wareju:
Noo not what I wanted hear :(
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] rjm12rjm12:
OK I installed "VZW_BOG5_RETAIL_FULL_FIRMWARE_WITH_BOD5_BL.tar.zip". The phone is up and running, but now I do not have root. My baseband version shows G900VVRU2BOG5. Can I get root back from here or am I in trouble?

Thanks,

Rob
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] TheTrueGatorman:
No trouble. Continue here.

You'll be fine.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] rjm12rjm12:
Thanks, I'll give it a try.

Back to normal, thanks again.

whats the difference between odex and deodex
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] alphahere:
No harm meant but this not a simple topic. Search the net.

Short answer is if you are using exposed use deodex version.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] J32A:
Is the google version still touchwiz skin and icons
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Badger50:
Skin yes, icons Google.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] snowrelyt:
Yes. The closest you're gonna get to stock android style is FreedomRom.

[MENTION=1949695]jrkruse[/MENTION] is there a way to do the 360 dpi mod on the Google version? When I change the dpi to 360 my keyboard doesn't change. It just gets smaller and goes to the left side.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] :
I had the same issue. Switched to the google keyboard instead of Samsung and issue resolved. However my dial still remains shrunk after changing the DPI.

is HD calling actually working for everyone on this? Im coming from OptimalRom which keeps disabling it, no matter what I try
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Badger50:
Working for me just fine :)
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] octavioromo:
Works for !
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] M3ntalPurg3:
DL'd your ROM and files and everything worked great! No issues except APEX Launcher keeps fc-ing. Not that it matters because I favor Nova Launcher anyway but just reporting - all the same. So far at least...everything seems to work fine. I will report back more to update. I've only been running this for a couple hours. Thanks for all of your contributions to this thread...REALLY. I had stopped doing anything custom and was targeting LOW RISK ROM'S because I have to use my neighbors computer anytime I want to to some custom changes or updates. You are awesome! I really hope with the new phones available, you won't jump ship...but I wouldn't blame you if you did. I APPRECIATE everything you do for this thread and respect it. Thanks thanks thanks

Anyone else having issues with the fingerprint scanner?

Just installed this ROM today, wiped cleaned everything, installed the patch and the new camera/gallery zips but I get an error when I try to register fingerprints
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] M3ntalPurg3:
Unable to install sideload apps. Any suggestions? Unknown sources already been enabled. Using Root Explorer. On BS Free Google Deodexed. FC fix mod, Dark it up mod and S5 Camera & Gallery Mod/Fix.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] rjm12rjm12:

[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Badger50:
Same rom here. Are you trying to install the apk's with root explorer, or you mean they won't update from the.play store? :-\
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] CVertigo1:
[MENTION=1949695]jrkruse[/MENTION], at one point I had Wi-Fi calling working on one of your ROMs. It was kind of buggy when switching out of WiFi, but it worked pretty well if I was on stable WiFi. I don't remember how I pulled it off though. I'm not sure if I used a zip from some other ROM to make it work. Do you have any input on how to get it back on?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] phrozenwire:
Need some guidance

Hello,

Am currently on Lolipop 5.0 for my Galaxy S5. Do I flash this ROM from Safestrap and then the kernel and modem. Will that be good to go ? Or do I need to perform some additional steps.

Thanks in advance.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Badger50:
If your already on LP firmware, which you are, then just flash away :)
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] phrozenwire:
Thanks a lot for the super quick reply
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Badger50:
No problem :)
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] M3ntalPurg3:
Trying to install apk's from inside Root Explorer...
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Badger50:
Take the apk, move it to either data or system app folder, change the permissions, reboot, and you should be good to go. You can't just hit the install button on several apps like that :)
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] M3ntalPurg3:
Perms set to what? Sorry it's been a while... 0664, 0777, I'm not sure. I used to know this stuff but I can't remember what is what anymore.

If I'm upgrading from BOC4 can I do everything via safestrap? And I flash rom then BOG5 firmware correct? Thanks
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Badger50:
That is correct. Also, download the SS flashable OG5 kernel as well. You will need it latter on to get out of SS if you want to flash anything else :)
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] jbucey06:
Appreciate the ROM. Has Knox been removed?

Looking to get my phone encrypted, and rumor has it that knox is required in order to encrypt successfully.

Cheers-

Edit:

Found two lines of script used in order to disable daemonsu in order for the encryption to run correctly.

Reference link. Used this to encrypt this ROM. Working well.

[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] :
Is it possible to get a "Dark it up - Red" theme for this ROM like you have for the Stock Rom thread?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] CVertigo1:
Has anyone else noticed the brightness adjustment missing from the notification pull down? I have it enabled in settings, but it is not showing up. I'm not sure if it was pulled out of the ROM or perhaps something I did in xposed. To be honest, I don't recall it missing before, and I have been running this ROM since it's release.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] damagi123:
one thing thats missing from pretty much all the rom threads for this phone is the list of bugs/ not working features on the OP. so someone who come to report an issue can see if its already being worked on instead of having to read through the whole thread
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] JFam5:
Is anyone else missing the control bubble at the top of a multi/floating window? I am running the Google version and that is the only thing that bugs me (not being to control the multi window).

I think it's because the multi window manager is missing from this build. Is that correct?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] robramirez:
Where did you found the BOG5 firmware for Dev Ed G5?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] jrkruse:
If you have the dev edition just flash the rom. The only thing the rom flashes is the bog5 kernel which should be fine
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Wired4Fun:
Am I screwed???

First, I absolutely LOVE this ROM!

...but I think I just screwed myself.

I was having an issue with logging into Snapchat, and I've read that it's because somehow that app checks to see if you are rooted. So I thought that perhaps I could simply unroot, log in, and then reroot. As I always do before making a major change, I did a full system backup, though I used Flashfire this time for simplicity. Then I went to the SupetSu app and did a full unroot and rebooted.

Now I'm finding that I am unable to reroot, and that it is currently not at all possible with the existing BOG5 kernel, though that's the one that installed with this ROM.

I am hoping that perhaps there is SOMETHING unique with this specific BS-Free ROM that may allow me to reroot! Please help...
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Badger50:
You are going to have to downgrade to NCG using Odin. Then root your phone again with TR, install busy box, and Flash Fire. Once your there, you can restore your backup from FF. Just make sure you don't wipe where you keel your backups. There is a great link in these forums that has everything you need to start over.....been there, done that enough times myself =-O
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Wired4Fun:
First, thanks for offering a possible solution. But are you sure I'm able to do this once I'm on BOG5 kernel?? If so, why can't anyone else with a stock ROM and that kernel root their phone by just using ODIN?

I'll try it and let you know...
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Badger50:
You may be on the OG5 kernel, but if your running this Rom, then your still on the OD5 or OC4 bootloader. Therefore, you can still downgrade via Odin :)
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Wired4Fun:
Edit: deleted duplicate post
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Wired4Fun:
I used Odin to upload NCG stock kernel and it seemed to take forever to reboot. When it finally came up, I've got a factory type recovery screen that seems to indicate I'm on a BOG5 build??

(see attachment)
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Wired4Fun:
Uploaded NCG kernel again, and I have access to Safestrap. Any reason I shouldn't try reflashing this ROM from there??
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Badger50:
Oh nice! If your back into SS, then just flash the Rom again since it's pre rooted.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Wired4Fun:
Ok, I'm back in business!! Whew! Thank you so much for your feedback today. I was really bummed!

As a side note, if anyone else goes through this, I tried dirty flashing the ROM (+BOG5 firmware, + kernel) just out of curiosity, to see if it might work, and I got stuck on the Samsung logo screen for like half an hour. So I booted to the factory recovery screen and did a complete wipe (factory reset) and it booted up just fine. I quickly skipped through the setup screen, and went to flashfire, restored my backup, and it's as if nothing ever happened! Whew!

Thanks again Badger50.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] veedubsky:
I am going to guess this phone is about dead. This was the best ROM I found and I have to say if anyone stumbles upon this ROM in the future this is the best one to use!!!

Is there a way to have the Samsung camera and gallery on the google ROM? I tried restoring a backup through titanium backup and it wouldn't load. Can I copy the apk to my SD card and move to apps manually?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Badger50:
It's a hit and miss deal at times. However, I've had it work for me. Copy the apk to the system apps, change the permissions, and reboot. It's worth a try, and you won't hurt anything. It'll just FC on ya if it doesn't work. But make a backup just in case :)
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] lookout4theyeti:
Thanks for the help! This worked. I had to move the entire samsungcamera3 folder and set permissions. Moving just the apk let the gallery app work but not the camera.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] M3ntalPurg3:
I am on BS FREE ROM GOOGLE Version Deodexed on BOG5 Firmware and I am having a couple of issues. 1st) I am not able to turn on Easy Copy in Accessibility Settings, when I try to turn it on it pops up the "Turn on Accessibility" dialog window but when I tap "ok" nothing happens. I have never known how to fix this issue, I had this problem before on a different ROM.

2nd) Sometimes I need to boot into Lollipop Recovery and wipe cache and then I mount system and re-flash BOG5 Safestrap Flashable Kernel and reboot. I have never had any issues until today, I followed all of the steps and it took a bit longer in the boot animation and then popped up a dialog that said "Process System isn't responding... WAIT or QUIT. I selected quit first and then just had to shut down and then rebooted again, it gave me same dialog I chose to WAIT this time and all then everything was fine. I'm wondering if I need to flash Firmware again or maybe a new version of the BOG5 FIRMWARE that jkruse just uploaded?

Edit: I have read the info on "New" Firmware & Kernels. If I want to just do a fresh install with them, can I just Flash the New Root S5 Files V6.zip and then wipe everything and Flash ROM (BOG5), then Firmware wipe cache/dalvik cache again and Reboot without issues - IN THEORY?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] CVertigo1:
As for Easy Copy, the needed app or apps were probably removed since this is a very a bloated ROM.

What were your reasons for mounting the system when you flashed it? The only time I manually mount the system is if I need to modify something in it with the file manager in safestrap. The flash script will mount and unmount as needed, so you shouldn't have to manually do it.

If you just want to flash the firmware, then you do not need to reflash the ROM.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] M3ntalPurg3:
The reason I mount system is because for whatever reason I have had issues before with the system not being installed properly. My own peace of mind: I explicitly mount system before flashing to avoid problems.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] CVertigo1:
If it works for you, I won't knock it. To each their own.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] jrkruse:
The system not responding happens from time to time on Deodexed roms just pull battery and reboot

There is no need to the new firmwares were just added so people with BOE1 higher bootloaders didnt brick their phones
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] jrkruse:
You can do whatever you like but the updater-script takes care of this no matter if you have it mounted or not.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] M3ntalPurg3:
Well, the way I took it was that ALL the previous files were updated because issues could arise from ANY of the previous files. At least that's the way it was perceived from the post about the new files. That could very well lead to more people being mislead... It may just be semantics but even semantics need to be properly conveyed.

When your OP is updated with BOLD LETTERS and (!!) exclamations that "previous files downloaded" are basically possibly going to brick your phone... I take that serious. If that isn't the case, then maybe you should be more careful about how you "phrase" your updates to posts.

No disrespect intended. I am just responding to what I got from YOUR response to my original question.

Thanks for all of your hard work DEV...I'm just saying!
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] jrkruse:
Your right. If the files worked for you in the past they were going to still work. We had a set method that worked for us people that had bod5 or earlier bootloaders that were able to be rooted. Then a method was found to root boe1 and higher bootloaders. Well those people immediately start flashing stuff that was intended for pre boe1 bootloaders. I caught this right away but I didn't know what people had downloaded. So yes there was a sense off urgency since people were bricking their phone. Some people didn't understand the difference between boe1 bod5 bok3 so I just tried to make it clear. It affected you in no way but it saved phones from being bricked. So if it offended you sorry.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] M3ntalPurg3:
No, want offended at all. There must just be some misinterpretation here. No biggie, I understand

[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] sureshot007:
I loaded the Samsung rom with the dark theme, and while I like it a lot, there are a few instances where you can't read the text (some menus and such). Is there a way to address that? Or are there other colors available to try out?

[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Stupifier:

[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Creepingdeath2:
x3 now. :cool: Wondering the same thing.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] CVertigo1:
The themes are usable, so long as it is not one of the themes that has framework in it. Check the flashable to see if it has a directory for /system/framework/ If it does, you can't use it.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] michaelahess:
Any call recorders that work both ways on this rom? Have a vzw s5 and ACR only records my side regardless of settings. Thanks!
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] grnsl2:
Alrighty, pretty simple question, wife's phone has been running one of the original BOE1 BS roms since forever ago June maybe?. Its always been solid and just works.

Recently some Wi-Fi issues and can't really figure out why. I thought I'd look here to update and see what is new. Does this BOE1 restriction refer to her phone as well or is that just if you're on a stock BOE1?

I certainly don't want to brick hers![emoji15]
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] CVertigo1:
As far as I know, there wasn't a BOE1 NO BS ROM. The BOE1 bootloader prevents downgrading, but as long as you flash no bootloader firmware you'll have no issues. BOK3 is the latest firmware that has adequate testing time. PB1 just came out, but most of us haven't gotten to play with it yet.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] grnsl2:
Very good, I'll read some more and make sure I'm hitting this in the right order, thanks for the info! .
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] CVertigo1:
I guess you did NO BS V2, then used BOE1 firmware. Since you did this so long ago, it was before the BOE1 root method, so you should be on the BOD5 bootloader.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] grnsl2:
So my update should be flashing the BOE5 boot loader that I think JRCruz linked a few posts back and then the latest greatest rom download from op?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] CVertigo1:
There is no need to flash the bootloader. Just flash whatever TW ROM you want, then flash the latest firmware if you want.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] michaelahess:
Tried Dr.Ketan's app, given root permissions, just 0 size files are created. Tried the modified others and features files, no record icon in the dialer. Tried every app in the store with every option (I think) and nothing will record both sides.
