I've started from zero tons of times. I cant use the root method because the phone wont reconnect using a VM on mac. I dont have the time or money right now to buy a PC. I was on Nougat with an MM bootloader and twrp. I flashed Lineage and SU but didnt see SU after I booted and wasnt able to root.

If I go back again to PB1 then I will want to try again to downgrade to KK 4.4.2. I have a backup saved which I restored in twrp. Everything loaded correctly except I wasnt able to use caption buttons and I had hardware issues.

Since I cant root PB1 I'm looking into this https://xdaforums.com/verizon-galaxy-s5/development/vzwstock-based-tw-rom-3-4-16-t3329029 once I find a way to download the pre rooted PB1 odexed rom. I have all the other files downloaded and ready to go.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] Barabba11:
How you can pretend to have su on lienage if you can't root the pb1 before..

You are writing us here a lot and you don't have right instruments for flashing. Use Mac for Instagram, go buy an old windows pc for hacking
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] Droid9684:
I had installed LineageOS installed after being on 6.0.1 QB2 rooted. I flashed in twrp everything all together. SU didn't show up once installed. Lol mac has more capabilities than instagram! I also mentioned I can download a pre rooted PB1 stock rom. My focus is getting back to KitKat 4.4.2 due to how the storage changed since 5.0+.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] al50:
I see that you used a method from one thread posted in this Section. Go to this thread and use this methods that [MENTION=5941898]Bren123[/MENTION] had written up as a guide to go back to KK on PB1 bootloader. Best of luck

[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] Droid9684:
Thank you! :) I still have to get onto PB1 rooted. I'm trying to download a pre rooted PB1 stock rom which will take a couple days due to a really slow internet connection. I will let you know if the method works that you linked me to!

Do you know if hardware is working on NCG? From 6.0.2 QB2 I have an unlocked bootloader and had flashed my NCG backup everything except hardware worked. Flashed both NK2 and NCG Kernel/modem at the time.

Thanks! Rooted + Your PB1 rom + Viper4Atmos! No offense but I find this guide easier compared to the newer one.

Root was done.

Phone booted KINGROOT missing.

Tried system app remover and it says "phone is rooted but i did not grant access"

Installed supersu and it said "binary occupied"

Installed alternative supersu that fixes that problem, and it failed to update binary.

Any ideas why kingroot was missing ?

G900V i never had this problem on my other 3 phones i rooted with this method.

SOLVED by repeating the process.

I also allowed unknown sources just in case this time. WHo knows

[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] en11gma:
i have a us cellular and Verizon galaxy s5.

the Verizon has no display

so I was prepping my us cellular galaxy s5 (android 6.01, rooted with twrp).

I made it so I had complete control over it so when I removed the display it would still work with adb over wifi and screen sharing with "scrcpy" from my windows laptop.

problem is I broke the screen while removing it from the us cellular for the Verizon s5

with the Verizon s5 on stock android 5.0 using the pb1 firmware is where im at.

is there anyway I can get odin to flash something where I can get adb over usb without using the touchscreen of the phone?

one click root and twrp/safestrap?

I wish I could just copy my entire us cellular galaxy s5 over to the Verizon s5 as the us cellular is working perfect with no screen

basically want to the Verizon s5 to behave the same way the us cellular does with no screen but the Verizon is not rooted and no custom recovery

im not sure if I have the 15 digit or 11 digit emmc but I would be willing to try the 15 digit even if it trashes my phone.

the laptop running windows 10 and odin 3.10.6 sees it and that's how I flashed pb1.

the hardware keys on the Verizon do work

any help would be appreciated. basically just having fun with the Verizon. nothing to lose

after 60 hours I've gotten the phone to boot. haven't finished going thru your steps but the phone is on again finally. I'm hoping the next step does away with the Samsung sign in. I got this phone a long time ago off of eBay
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] 1storm976:
I took Jrkuse ROM that he recommended in the beginning of the thread and bloated the ROM myself.. you can use King root to debloat the ROM before you replace it with supersu me... Or you can go into system/ app and system/priv-app and delete the apks there it's the easiest way I found to keep what I want. There's even a YouTube video on how to debloat your own ROM, but Xda also has it somewhere on one of the threads. I hope that helps you some..
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] dartz28:
Thank you 1storm976. I'll look that up.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] 1storm976:
No problem it's a little difficult to grab Samsungs apks because there's so many of them and I personally don't know what they'll do. But maybe you can unzip another rom find those folders and grab the apks out of there.. Just FYI I'm no expert I'm still learning :)
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] dartz28:
I'm learning aswell. I was just curious on the main account one. I have some things on s-note app that has saved with samsung account, and the kids app. Thanks again for the info.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] xXAaron04Xx:
I successfully rooted but when I went to download SU, the binary wouldn't install. Busybox said it installed fine, yet SuperSU and Safestrap refuse to install. Any ideas?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] 1storm976:
I usually update Busybox in playstore then reboot and open Busybox and then update when it happens to me.. I'm assuming u used king root already.. just my two cents. Hope it helps some.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] lineuphere:
At step 21., I've installed and ran Kingroot (kinguser) and I'm successfully rooted, but I'm also experiencing SuperSU (Pro) binary update installation failing.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] 1storm976:
I'm not sure if it matters but did u guys use the supersu-me? It's the pay app not sure it matters but it removes kingroot and installs the new supersu..
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] dartz28:
That's what I was going to say After kingroot open supersu-me (now a paid app). This app is needed (supersume)
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] Tammie6:
Tried again

I used the new file u posted and

It's says on the root app that it's unable to locate file """"""""""" no such file directory etc. after it says the root installing process starts . I tried to send picture but this wouldn't let me

I don't know why it's being so retarded with me , I've been trying to root this phone forever but Verizon locked the boatloader so I can't even downgrade it to do it that way
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] leela302:
s5 g990v root

after installing king root it says root stratagy unavailable
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] dartz28:
That happened to me. I had to re-do the whole thing from scratch. I made sure when you hit 01. That USB debugging thing pops up on the phone. The first time it didn't for me. And I had same issue.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] 1storm976:
Make sure ur Antivirus is off . It sounds like when u un zipped the root og5. Folder something happened to a file the batch file needs. And make sure u follow all the directions i know its a lot of stuff to go through but it will work . Hope this helps
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] 1storm976:
then you are not rooted and make sure u have usb debugging on. It took me a few trys to get the root batch file to root my phone after a flashed the n12 kernel.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] kyliesx:
I'm not able to install safestrap for some reason (I have busybox installed), what do I do?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] 1storm976:
OK guessing u already used kingroot and then supersu-me (paid ver. ) update busybox in Playstore just to make sure it's up to date. Then reboot make sure debugging is on and install lollypop safestrap. Blue Safestrap and the other red safestrap. Reboot .. then u can go into lollipop safestrap and install ur safestrap bootloader. Hope it helps.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] tgray96:
After flashing the Safestrap Kernel I am stuck at the verizon logo screen
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] 1storm976:
U flashed the provided rom in post?... sorry need a little more info. u follow the directions in post ?.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] tgray96:
Yes, sorry. After installing SafeStrap, I flashed the SafeStrap Flash Kernal.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] 1storm976:
OK so I assume u flashed the provided bok3 rom then u flashed the bok3 kernel after then rebooted. Sometimes it hangs up .. I have to tell bootstrap to just turn off.. then boot phone on. Hope it helps let me us know.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] tgray96:
Yeah flashed the provided bok3 rom, continued the install, installed KingUser and Super-Su me, busy box and safestrap, then flashed the bok3 kernel. I've rebooted it several times and havent gotten anywhere with it. Let it sit at the Verizon Splash Page for about an hour.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] WKurt:
Reroot?

I just finished the steps, and after an hour of tweaking, I accidentally unrooted. Do I have to do all of the steps from the beginning again, or can I start from somewhere in the middle?

Thanks

EDIT:just ended up doing the steps again
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] dartz28:
Most likely from scratch.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] jrkruse:
When you say the bok3 rom are you talking about the rom or the factory tar image. If you are rooted and flashed the rom then why are you flashing king user and supersu me and all that stuff? The custom rom contains this stuff. If your not rooted yet then you dont install the king user and all that stuff until you are rooted? If you already rooted flashed a custom rom and are stuck at boot screen just pull battery and reboot to download mode use odin to flash the NI2 kernel then when phone reboots enter safestrap at the safestrap dialog. Then wipe data cache and system and flash rom again. Then install none of the above stuff because it already contains it. After you root the first time you never use kinguser again.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] 1storm976:
i think Jay is right u can try super su me and see if it reroots it . if not i think u have to try to reroot again. its happend to me onnce too.

Please can anyone help me with this
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] pxelr:
Step 16 computer doesn't recognize phone

Anyone else figured out how to fix step 16 when my (windows 10) computer doesn't recognize the phone. Yes, I did the usb debugging. I also hear it when I plug/unplug the phone (through my pc). I did try the steps if it doesn't recognize it (all the unplugging and opening/closing bat file etc) and also unplugged the phone after odin is done, closed odin, restarted phone, and opened bat. Still nothing. Thanks!
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] Scar.6ix:
Yes i have the exact same problem, now i downloaded the back to stock file in the 2nd post and flashed it. and i still stuck at the samsung black screen.

Can anyone provide links to BOK3 kernel? It says i need to flash that so i can go back into settings and fix my usb debugging setting.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] Chadwick108:
OC1?

have sch-i545 on straight talk that i was wondering if this may work on OC1 bootloader(5.0.1) thanks in advance!!
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] 1storm976:
First u need to open up the bat file full screen. Hit 5 to connect to phone u will see device on very top. Once connected hit root.. it don't always work the first time and leave it there for 2 min or so. .if nothing reboot phone and try again.

---------- Post added at 11:32 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:25 PM ----------

U said ur computer don't see ur phone .. check device manager in there u can see if u plug ur phone in and if it don't .. some times it's a driver issue. But if not then maybe u grabbed the wrong kernel flashed.. I'm not sure. But it's a start.

---------- Post added at 11:38 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:32 PM ----------

Its in the Root og5 v8 file on first page...and another post after, it all the no boot loader links
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] pxelr:
I checked device manager, nothing there. Also, sometimes when I replug it into another port I get this installing SAMSUNG_ANDROID on my computer. If you're on BOK3, do I need to flash the ni2 kernel or something else at step 16?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] dartz28:
It took me a few trys aswell. I had to restart laptop and phone. And switch us ports. Then finally it recognized the phone after u press 01 then ever thing went smooths. Hope that helps
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] 1storm976:
My understanding is u use ni2 kernel just to gain root so if ur on step 16 ur still trying to root .. if that's the case then yes flash ni2 Kernal when it hangs up on the boot screen u open the batch file to try too root . Open to full screen so u can see if ur phone is seen by the program.. Hit 05 to connect ur phone on top of screen u will see if it's connected or not.. if connected then 02 to root... if not connected then I'm guessing it's a driver or device issue..[
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] jrkruse:
When ever you flash a factory tar image and it gets stuck in samsung screen reboot to recovery and wipe data
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] Scar.6ix:
ok thanks but now i have a couple questions.

Step 14 when you say install 01_G900V_NI2_Kernel.tar. which button do i use to install it ? AP, BL, CP, CSC ?

however i used AP because i wasnt sure .

Step 16, when i plug my phone ROOT_G900V 5.0 recognizes it and i press 02 to "Start Root" It works and bunch of # signs pop up on the left side but in the end it doesnt give me a confirmation that it is done. Just see the cursor blinking and does nothing after that. When i unplug my phone it gives me an error that it didnt work. Any suggestions ? ----- take a look at the screen shot
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] dZakatak:
I am hitting the same wall as Scar. I've used AP because I wasn't sure. I am opening the bat file after flashing the BOK3 kernel, and it is communicating (the colors in the bat file window invert). It tries to install root, and after letting it sit for 2-5 minutes, the screen never changes. I've reverted to flashing back to "G900VVRU2BOK3_G900VVZW2BOK3_G900VVRU2BOK3_HOME.tar.md5" and continuing the process back over again to get to this point. I have done this 3 or 4 times now, and tried to run the root bat file about 3-4 times for each reset, to a total attempt of between 12-15 times. Sometimes it has completed its attempt to load while not indicating that root was successful. Kingroot confirms that it didn't work, and I try again. More often though, the attempt to install root never resolves.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] jrkruse:
try it a couple of more times. It tells you on that black screen if it fails after a couple of tries then reboot to recovery and wipe data and try again. You will have to flash BOK3 kernel so you can go through setup and enable usb debugging
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] RickJH:
My computer didn't recognize my phone after step 2, so I couldn't transfer the files in step three. I'm not sure if the two problems are related.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] Scar.6ix:
Yea but i want to know if what you see in that black screen is a successful root or not ?

Because when i open king user it says no root method found.

---------- Post added at 09:46 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:36 PM ----------

For people that cant seem to get their phone connected here is what i did.

step1 = flash the kernel from the Odin_Lollipop_Kernels folder, choose the one that goes with your firmware. It will allow you to start up your phone again.

step2= Make sure to install Samsung Driver file from G900V_TEAM_ROOT folder.

step3= Revoke the usb debugging if you have already enabled it.

Step4= Connect your phone to your computer before you enable the USB debugging again. Then pop up will appear that says "always allow this computer".

Then repeat from step 14 in the op

Worked for me !!
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] dZakatak:
jrkruse,

You said in post #358 to Scar that he will have to flash BOK3 kernel so you can go through setup and enable usb debugging. I assume you are referring to the G900VVRU2BOK3_G900VVZW2BOK3_G900VVRU2BOK3_HOME.tar.md5 file. (that is the rom, correct?) I ask this because I thought that the next file flashed is the NI2 Kernal, followed by the root step we are both getting hung up on. Isn't the BOK3 Kernal referring to the file we flash after we root and verify root? I am only asking to ensure I am interpreting this correctly.

Thanks,

dZ

Also, step 2 has us enable Nand erase all and disable auto Reboot. Are we supposed to do this everytime we use Odin, or just for the first file? And for the following files flashed via Odin, are we supposed to continue using the AP box?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] Scar.6ix:
You can flash either or...... G900VVRU2BOK3_G900VVZW2BOK3_G900VVRU2BOK3_HOME.tar.md5 file--- OR ----BOK3 kernel they both will allow you to reboot normally into your phone but if you use G900VVRU2BOK3_G900VVZW2BOK3_G900VVRU2BOK3_HOME.tar.md5 file make sure to go into recovery after and wipe data, which will also wipe everything on the phone.

NO you only enable Nand erase all for the first file

I guess you missed the Big Letter at the very beginning of the OP. Makes me wonder if you guys are really reading anything
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] Scar.6ix:
Ok so is it necessary to get supersu-me ?

and what do i have to do to get twrp ? or is it not possible ?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] 1storm976:
Don't know ur carrier each are different . Try looking for a thread on ur carrier.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] jrkruse:
Your batting a thousand at reading! In those big letters what does it say Here let me show you

Jrkruse .. I'm looking for dark theme do u know something that that works for your rom u posted in the first post? I'm looking but not sure is others will work so I thought I would ask you. Thx sorry to be a little off topic.

Thank u
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] Scar.6ix:
Yes i did and i also got it to work . Thanks alot, your thread was a great help. Now i got every thing installed.

I just dont know what busy box is for....

And Now that i have installed everything included safe strap recovery. I was wondering how do i go about flashing cm based roms ? and do they all have to be bootloader free or somthing ?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] jrkruse:
busybox is used for alot of stuff includind safestrap

there is no flashing cm roms on this phone because bootloader is locked so no custom kernels can be flashed
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] Scar.6ix:
Oh really, what a bummer Samsung sucks !!.

Ok so before i flashed anything on my phone it was OG5 and after flashing all the files my phone turned into OK3 ? Is that normal or did i do something wrong?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] painiac:
Android is a gutted variant of the Linux operating system, stripped down to only those functions needed to run a smartphone. Busybox adds back in a lot of the linux/unix functions and commands that were removed.

---------- Post added at 08:19 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:16 AM ----------

In this case, it's Verizon that sucks more. Samsung sucks for making it so hard to root the phone, and Verizon sucks even more for insisting on a locked bootloader.

If you followed the instructions in the first post, you flashed OK3 onto the phone.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] gordie99:
thanks for this great thread

inherited a 900v OK3 and have been trying for a few days to root according to instructions (does not have a working data card)

everything works fine until the actual root step, having issues completing the root.bat (exactly like the screenshot posted a few entries back)

I keep getting stuck on the last command "PREEMPT Sun Sat 14 18:04:11 KST 2014", never completes the script

the cmd prompt hangs, i pull battery, reboot, retry and same results

I have then gone back to step one and repeated all the steps but each time fails at the same place

Never see "Root Done!"

TIA
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] leotakacs:
After I rooted, i let safestrap install and rebooted into recovery. I then flash xposed and then flashed

G900V_OK3_Stock_KERNEL_SafeStrap-Flashable.zip

.

My phone rebooted, but then got stuck on the verizon screen. I didn't want to flash the rom that was mentioned at the end.

I had to do the entire process again, and now I am very hesitant to try again.

Any suggestions?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] WKurt:
Same, I had to repeat many times and eventually gave up on flashing with safestrap. I also tried to flash this with the same result. I really need xposed. Any advice?

[MENTION=1949695]jrkruse[/MENTION]

Any idea's?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] jrkruse:
Did you follow the directions and install BOK3 stock deodexed rom, because you cant use xposed on an odexed rom. If you made a backup you can boot to download mode use odin and install ni2 kernel then you can get back to safestrap
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] ayuub:
wooooooooooow it wooork !! thank u you're Genius :)
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] jrkruse:
Make sure the phone is unpluged after you flash the NI2 kernel close odin open the ROOT_G900V_5.0.bat plug your phone in. It takes a couple of minutes once it starts the root process starts
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] jrkruse:
All the kernels are available in the Root_OG5_V3 zip
