[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] dave562:
At what point in the process was kslog supposed to install? Now that I have missed that step, are there directions on how to manually do it?

I am using the Samsung USB3 cable.

I have an Asus Z170 Pro Gaming motherboard. It could be the USB port on there, but that is not very likely.

I realize that you think I'm an idiot who can't read, but I was cloning phones back in the days of 386 laptops and G2 onto Motorola flips. I run a 5000+ VM environment for a living. I rooted my older Droid Razr a few years ago and didn't have any problems. I have been trying to root my S5 for less than 24 hours at this point.

I am following the instructions to the best of my abilities and they are not working.

The only thing I can figure is that I ****ed up by not installing G900VVRU2BPB1_G900VVZW2BPB1_G900VVRU2BPB1_HOME.tar before I ran root.bat the first time.

"If the root process hangs close root.bat. (I already ran root.bat and it hung)

unplug phone pull battery and reboot phone to recovery (VolUp+Pwr+Home). In recovery wipe cache only and reboot to bootloader. (I did this. I wiped the cache and restarted to the bootloader, assuming that the boot loader is the screen with the big green android icon on it. Is the boot loader the same screen that says ODIN MODE in red at the top?)

If phone reboots back to recovery instead of bootloader pull battery and manually reboot to bootloader (VolDwn+Pwr+Home). (I did not need to do this because the phone booted into the boot loader)

Now plug phone back in and open root2.bat. (I did this and root2.bat just hangs on "Waiting for the phone to be reconnect ...")

This will skip the install of apps and the flashing of the nk2 kernel since this has already been done, and the root2.bat will proceed directly to installing root. (it does not proceed to installing root. It sits there doing nothing)

Root.bat is only used once, if it fails, use root2.bat as it skips installing apps. YOU DON'T NEED TO RUN BOTH IF THE FIRST ONE SUCCEEDS. (I only used root.bat once. Ever since, I have been trying to use root2.bat)

If I run root2.bat with the phone connected in developer mode, this is the error that displays...

It also has a pop-up dialogue box for odin3.ini and a bunch of Korean

I am in the same boat with you guys. I guess it is my karma coming back to me, because when I was 19 years old, I was a **** head too. Thought that I knew everything. I thought that anyone who could not instantly do what I had spent months or years hacking away at was an idiot.

It is kind of humbling that Getex is 19. Let's see, that means she was not even born yet when I was cloning cell phones in 1994. But now all of the knowledge that I had back then is worthless, and the new knowledge that I need is buried in a couple hundred pages of forum posts.

Sorry for all the spam. Last post.

According to my phone info...

Android version: 5.0

Android security patch level: 2016-02-01

Baseband version (is the same as "boot loader"?): G900VVRU2BPB1

Kernel version: 3.4.0

Build number: LRX21T.G900VVRU2BPB1

Configuration Version: J13.SAM.SMG900V.1

Given that, can I root and install a different ROM using the instructions in this thread?
