how long did you wait at boot, after installing xposed, took me 10 minutes to even see optimizing apps, try liveboot?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] skunkmasters:
i have waited several minutes. 8-15min

liveboot not installed
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] GeTex:
did you time or guess? time doesn't move as fast as you think when impatient. Install the zip i linked on a DEODEXED ROM ONLY VIA SAFE STRAP OR FLASH FIRE!!! It's for lollipop, not any other version, wipe cache and dalvik before rebooting, depending on your version of SS, make sure you flash your kernel before leaving!
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] skunkmasters:
i have waited for longer than ten minutes.

i can't get into safestrap
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] GeTex:
flash nk2, it gets u in
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] skunkmasters:
nk2- yes, got me in. was able to restore a backup

Thank you. I appreciate you taking the time to guide/hold my hand.

i just wish we could've banged that out in half the time, 1/3 the post and none of the hostility.

note: when i flashed the nk2 to get back into safestrap, i got a black screen the first times, leading me to believe the method was not working or phone was buggn out. when i saw splash screens, i'd give it 7-10 minutes usually to do thing. previous roots went fairly smoothly like on my i9500, i9300, 870a....

again thanks....i really do appreciate your help and patience with me.

cheers
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] GeTex:
This phone is the worst rooting experience I've ever had
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] skunkmasters:
i agree.

i haven't had one as difficult, but in all honesty, the work the OP did and others made this work, and i doubt i'd have root without their contributions. thanks guys.

but it's either a 900v with working cracked screen or the i9300 with cracks large.

the xposed install didnt seem to take, as xPrivacy is asking to install it via xposed installer, which may be where all my problems began. i'll head to the xposed forums and scour the posts.

thanks again
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] GeTex:
if you flash the the zip i linked you, it's all good to go, now if it didn't just install the xposed apk.

I believe it's a forum rule, and for your own safety, please pull all political opinions. They usually lead to big butthurt and drama

Are you on a deodexed rom or not?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] skunkmasters:
[MENTION=5414005]GeTex[/MENTION]

stock rom, rooted via this thread.

is the v85-sdkarm the proper framework?

on second thought....GoTex, i appreciate your assistance, i'll take the secondary to a more appropriate thread. i am back to where i was before tryin to xpose myself.

thanks!
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] GeTex:
v85 is simply the xposed bridge version, it just needs to be the zip i linked, since it is the proper samsung art and also is sdk 21. You need to flash a deodexed rom, or it won't work, i've said this a few times. It literally will not install, it'll just give you an error. There a link in the Op i believe to a full stock deodexed but i use a debloated rom by CVertigo1 called No-Bs, but if you have a cid 15 you could o alot more!
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] fermalobos:
Thank you very much for this thread, instructions may not be easy to follow ( at least for me, it really took me many tries ) but I finally have a rooted S5 . I also have an at&t S5, and got tired of waiting for root, so I bought the s900V. I was told the S6 is very fragil, and the S7 has not IR blaster (which I enjoy a lot ) so I think I am keepeing this excelent phone for awhile
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] pandasarebest111:
Help!!

I am rooting my G900V 5.0 but I can not root it. I need help rooting it. I followed the directions correctly and carefully but I am still stuck. The part I'm stuck on is the NK2 Kernel Flashing. After the NK2 Kernel flash is completed and I'm rooting my phone, nothing moves in the command prompt. I believe that it hanged. I tried this rooting method more than 10 times but it still doesn't work. It hangs at "This device: Verizon Samsung SM-G900V Linux Version..." Please, I need help rooting my phone!
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] GeTex:
I can't tell you, screenshot please? What OS, what version of 5.0, did you install drivers?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] pandasarebest111:
Nvm. I got it to work. But now I'm having trouble flashing Magisk. I need to install Magisk but it isn't working. My phone doesn't freeze, but it takes forever to flash Magisk via Recovery. Left it for 6 hours but still stuck. I'm using Samsung Galaxy S5 5.0 PB1
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] GeTex:
I don't think magisk worked in safe strap did it?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] pandasarebest111:
No. I let it flash for over 6 hours and it was still the same screen. Nothing has changed in the course of 6 hours.

G900V_Fix Safestrap.zip

Sorry everyone, I don't post very often. I usually just do my homework and am able to resolve most issues. Although it was difficult, I rooted my bpb1 g900v. Downside at least for now is the cid is 11:(

The problem I'm having is Mr Jrkruse said if you get an error trying to flash a rom in safestrap, you need to install G900V_Fix Safestrap.zip. Each time I attempt to flash a rom, safestrap says failed. Just to start out on the safe side, I am only trying to flash the rom op provided in this thread. So because safestrap says failed each time, I have been attempting to flash G900V_Fix Safestrap.zip. It is my understanding that once I install the fix,I must install a rom before I exit safestrap because it wipes everything. But after safestrap attempts to flash the fix, it exits safestrap and the phone reboots and hangs on the galaxy s5 screen. Then no matter how long I wait it never advances past that point. The only thing I can do at that point is pull the battery and reboot to download mode. I've attempted numerous times to flash the nk2 tar, which always succeeds, to get back into safestrap but each time it only hangs on the galaxy s5 screen.

Eventually each time I am forced to flash the stock package and start over. So far I have re rooted 3 times and I'm getting gun shy. I do not look forward to rooting again because the g900v is so hard to root.

Thank you all
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] GeTex:
Hey, see if you van dig up a pit file from this thread, load the galaxy S5 pit file into Odin's pit box, load the ROM into the AP box, select repartition, then flash it. You need the vzw 16gb KLTE pit. I know its in here somewhere
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] YoungSpiffy:
same here
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] TRexombo:
Ok thank you GeTex, I will give it a try. Due to the fact that my job keepsm me away from my pc all week it may be the weekend before you hear my results.

So let me see if I understand. Instead of trying to flash Jrkruse's rom through safestrap, I just flash with Odin and place the 16gb pit file in the pit slot? If that's correct should I do a wipe with safestrap first then reboot into download mode? Thank you for being so kind and helping me.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] pandasarebest111:
Any answers?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] al50:
To make this quick and not tie up this thread. You first must install the Xposed app that's in Arter97's Xposed thread. Then boot into recovery or FF, wipe Cache and Dalvik cache, then flash the appropriate Xposed version for the device. It's going to take a while before it gets to the Home Screen, so be patient while it's booting...same goes for removing Xposed. Need to wipe Cache and Dalvik cache upon reboot but wipe AFTER flashing the uninstall Zip. Sorry for the late reply...lol...for some reason the link in my email brought me 2 pages back....hope you got the Xposed installed....
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] 996:
Hi all,

I successfully rooted the phone, installed busy box, and safestrap recovery. For some reason, after I install safestrap, I cannot boot into it. I get a frozen samsung screen. I then rebooted the phone into download mode and flashed the PB1 Kernel to get back into the phone.

I try booting into safestrap, and the same thing happens.

Any suggestions at this point?

Thanks!
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] GeTex:
I recommend the version of xposed I linked a few pages back, its bridge version 85 instead of 75, a lot more module support!

[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] al50:
Thank you for mentioning that GeTex. I'll DL it and add it....:good::)
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] GeTex:
You must use the uninstaller zip first
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] TRexombo:
Thank you Jrkruse for all the hard work that went into this root method and safestrap and the many roms you've given us.

Thank you GeTex for always helping everyone. Thank you everyone else for helping us when we don't know what to do.

I got my g900v rooted (3 times), installed a custom rom (1st time ever!) and installed xposed and everything is running smoothly.

Thank you
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] pitsch1:
One question, Playstore keeps installing super su 2.67. Should I uninstall that while in kingroot before I install supersu me 6.7?

Never mind. After flashing the rom and pbi1 files in the second post , its all good :)

Hanging after NK2 flash

I've made it past flashing NK2 and getting root one time but then something else happened after that so I started over.

My problem now is that every time I flash NK2 it just hangs on the black samsung galaxy s5 boot screen.

Any help is much appreciated. Really trying to get this replacement GS5 rooted.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] GeTex:
Can you not read where we keep saying it's supposed to do that!?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] RPKrayz:
Yes, pretty sure I can read that. Nothing says how long it should hang. I've tried to pull battery and clear cache partition like the notes say but it still hangs and i can do nothing else. Does it eventually boot up? I've left it for a considerable amount of time.

The first time I did this the root.bat made it through and rooted it correctly. Something went wrong later so I restarted and now I don't know know to do at the point where it hangs.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] GeTex:
You aren't done, and it doesn't say how long because it ill hang forever. if you read how the process works you'l understand whats going on. the bat file is supposed to continue after you flash NK2. are you just flashing and not using the bat?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] Arecaidian Fox:
I'm actually having similar issues. Used the .BAT and included software the whole way through, and when it gets past flashing NK2, it just hangs on the black Samsung Galaxy S5 screen...

By the way, can someone with Chinese skills far better than mine translate the comments in postroot.sh? I'm sure we'd all like to know exactly what this thing did to our phones to get root :)
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] jrkruse:
sorry wrong post
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] jrkruse:
Kingroot is a trusted method of root.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] badlad:
It all went through on the batch file. It's just not letting me root with the kingroot app after the new kernel flash and all. The Kinguser app installed Kingroot.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] jrkruse:
What exactly are you trying to do. You say Kingroot wont root your phone. Are you trying to use the kingroot app to toot your phone or are you talking about kinguser app
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] jrkruse:
In the batch file it tells you if root is successful it will say this did it say what it told you it would say
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] badlad:
No It did not and there may be where my problem is. Says KRSLOG prepare done, system part 2 more KRSLOGs and PREEMPT it does not say success.

A friend ask me if this root method maybe used on Atts mobile phones. running lollipop... or even in a S4 with lolli .. .

Greetings...
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] jrkruse:
Maybe Att s5 with the proper kernel. S4 has a root method
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] rodereicus:
Forget it... Just because I weren't using the Odin in the zip, I was using 3.10.7...
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] jrkruse:
That shouldn't matter

Copy and paste the name of the.tar.md5 you were trying to flash

G900VVRU2BOK3_G900VVZW2BOK3_G900VVRU2BOK3_HOME.tar that's it... I just opened the odin that are on the zip provided and voila! but I've seen it doesn't matter...

[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] Arecaidian Fox:
Okay, then forgive the ultra-n00b question, but what after that? All it does is hang on the black Samsung Galaxy S5 screen on boot every time.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] GeTex:
Are you even reading the batchfile or OP? It explains what is going on, and what has to be done in what order
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] Arecaidian Fox:
Actually, I just sorted it out. I kept missing the bit of instruction about flashing one of the other kernel files at the very end.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] imbluefancy:
i know im a noob, so pre-emptive apologies. but come on this thread has 280 pages ... its alot to sort through. i keep getting stuck on the s5 screen, and i know the bat file says it could be a driver issue.. but i have downloaded the provided driver in the begining of the instructions, and being that i am not exactly a dev.. i have no idea what else i should even try?? i have tried different usb ports, started from scratch pb1 multiple times, tried to clear cache, and thats about all i can think of to try. please take it easy on me, and just point me in the right direction. i dont mind reading and figuring it out, i just dont know what else to read.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] GeTex:
have your read everything? including what the bat file says to do?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] imbluefancy:
Yes, 25 times. The bat file is somewhat confusing to me because I am not super savy to all terminolgies, and when you combine that with the odd natural sentence structure of the bat file, I am clearly missing something. For example these are 5 straight notes in the batch file without punctuation or numeration. I don't know if it's try each 1 in that orsee or complete all, or try this one with that one but this third one, etc...

Flash stock kernel

If phone does not reboot to bootloader

Unplug pull battery reboot to bootloader

If root didn't work try to install kroot manually (I don't know how to do that, plus what do I flash from the bootloader I was just told to open?)

Remember you will need supe-sum from play....

As I said, I know I'm noon. But I'm not lazy, just confused.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] xZecora:
Sorry if someone's already asked but at it says no ROMs can be flashed that aren't touch wiz based but later it says that they can, at least that's how I understood it. Did I miss something between there or am I reading something wrong and if it's the first, is Cyanogen flashable?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] GeTex:
You may want to read the section that says understanding the process since you don't understand it

I don't see anywhere we say otherwise, we say you can flas only touch wiz based roms everywhere, again and again and again
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] LordManuel:
Alright, I've been struggling with this for about a week now.

I am attempting to root my Samsung Galaxy S5 (SM-G900V), KERNEL: 3.4.0, dpi@SWHC3810#1 and I've successfully flashed the PB1 stock rom provided in this thread.

Once, I did get to the "ROOT DONE!" screen. But because I didn't see "KSLOG: COMPLETE", I hit "2" and attempted to reflash the NK2 kernel. Ever since then, every time I attempt to flash the NK2 Kernel, I get stuck at the black Samsung Galaxy S5 screen (the bootloader?) forever.

Did I mess myself up somewhere?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] GeTex:
I messed up, it's supposed to say KSLOG:ROOT Done. you did it right, try and start over?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] Trak-X:
Same thing here. I continued and got to the point where i've hit Reboot to recovery and ended up with the Samsung logo and nothing else. Flashing the right kernel revives it, but clicking again on Reboot to recovery will do the same thing again.

Anything we can do about it?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] LordManuel:
I did, several times after, but every time, after Odin flashes the kernel and the phone reboots to the black "Samsung galaxy s5" screen, it gets stuck there. Once, I let it sit or half an hour and still nothing happened.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] GeTex:
Do you read the bat file?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] kronosboyz:
Me too.

I followed the instruction in the bat and at the end it said "KSLOG:ROOT Done". Now I'm stuck with samsung logo. I can enter in recovery or download mode. What can I do to let it work again?

---------- Post added at 10:20 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:17 PM ----------

How did you do?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] GeTex:
By reading the bat when it says to flash the PB1 kernel
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] kronosboyz:
Do you refer to the first post of this thread "Installing PB1"?

In the bat file I can't find the place where it says to flash the PB1 kernel.

I flashed back PB1 kernel. Can I still root the mobile? Should I repeat the process with the bat file or trying the next steps?

Btw thank you for the previous hint.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] LordManuel:
Ditto. The .bat does not say that. At least, the version that I've been using doesn't. Here are the steps that I see on the file:

1.	Enable Developer Options

a.	Allow USB debugging

b.	Uncheck Verify apps via USB

2.	Plug in my phone

3.	Always allow this computer

4.	Install Apps automatically

5.	Flash NK2_kernel.tar, which is a file that is provided in the current Lolliroot folder

a.	I open the Odin provided in this folder, and click on “AP” and then point to NK2_kernel.tar

b. Disconnect and turn off phone

c.	Reboot into recovery mode

d.	Reconnect phone, wait for the Samsung to show up

e.	Click start on Odin

6.	Then, it runs and the phone reboots

Then . . . then nothing. I get stuck at the black Samsung S5 Galaxy screen after this. If the phone does reconnect, it just offers the option to retry or continue.
