You guys realize these roms take 10 minutes or more to boot up the first time right?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DimitrieRetezatu:
I keep seeing that but I don't understand why every rom I've tried usually boots up within 2 minutes.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xWAKESx:
I didn't. Again sorry for being such a noob. I had BKO3 stock. When I flashed your ROM in step 25 in the Other original thread. My phone looks stock - is this correct? The phone is still rooted. I had to reinstall BusyBox. I still had SuperSU, Lollipop Safestrap. Did I do everything correctly? Phone works. Main reason I wanted to root was to get rid of all the bloatware on my phone and some of the apps I still can't get rid of using a "uninstall program" from the app store. Is there a working ROM that I could use? and Do I use safestrap to flash it and do I need to reinstall the Kernal?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jrkruse:
The rom you installed from the root thread is totally stock rooted deodexed rom. Any of my roms will always have supersu busybox and lollipop safestrap installed . You use safestrap to install things like roms, mods etc. If on any lollipop 5.0 rom when you enter safetrap you must flash the lollipop kernel that you are using for example BOK3 kernel zip, before you can reboot back to rom. . Most All of my roms have a debloat script somewhere in the tread that can be flashed in safestrap to debloat the rom. The BS Free roms are highly debloated.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jrkruse:
Are you doing a full wipe and going through setup? What roms are you referring too?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DimitrieRetezatu:
The only ones I've tried so far are OptimalROM and BS Free and they both booted up right away. If I remember correctly I did a factory reset thru Odin before I installed both. Unfortunately I had to reroot both times. Lol just didn't want to mess anything up so I reset my phone and followed every step of root before I tried to install them. :good:
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xWAKESx:
OKay. I looked through your OP thread on "working root method of 5.0 lollipop" couldn't find the debloat script.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DimitrieRetezatu:
Okay I put the purge earlier and then I read in the first line that it's pretty much not for Lollipop so sorry for that but on a side note BS Free rom is very good and highly debloated. I'm not sure where to get debloat script. But if you're installing a rom you can uninstall or disable anything that isn't already taken care of which on bs free rom mostly everything is.

[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smokerbond:
Slight Confusion

I just completed the process with Root_OG5_V7.

Nice job!

I booted into your Deodexed ROM just fine, but I am confused for what the Safestrap_Flashable_Firmware provided file is for.

I never flashed BOK3_Firmware_No_Bootloaders... was I supposed to?

I flashed your Deodexed ROM and then the G900V_OK3_Stock_KERNEL_SafeStrap-Flashable kernel provided.

I am going to download OptimalROM now and flash it, then G900V_OK3_Stock_KERNEL_SafeStrap-Flashable again.

Did I misunderstand, or did I follow correctly?

I assumed the BOK3_Firmware_No_Bootloaders was for KitKat downgrading

Edit: OptimalROM_15-5_DEODEX_BigBot96 or the one without Bootloaders?

I think I understand.

I can flash OptimalROM_15-5_DEODEX_BigBot96, then flash the firmware BOK3_Firmware_no_bootloaders (despite OptimalROM being OG5), since we replace the bootloader. Then I flash kernel.

It should work then?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jrkruse:
If you followed the directions i n the root thread you probably flashed the BOK3 factory tar image. So you are probably already on BOK3 firmware. If you are not then you can flash it. You only need to flash the firmware zip just once unless you want to change to a different firmware. So when flash future roms in safestrap it is only necessary to flash the BOK3 or whatever kernel you are using. Also when ever flashing a firmware zip it is not necessary to also flash the kernel as kernel are included in the firmware zips. On Optimal Rom you can try with BOK3 kernel. If you get any security warnings or unauthorized actions then boot back to safestrap and install BOG5 kernel
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rauleeros:
I was just wondering if you tested if you can use Viper4Android on this ones or it is still not allowed. I used to have V4A before, but it stopped working with the update to Lollipop.

Thanks again man!
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jrkruse:
Anyone want to try my new 5 way power reboot menu with reboot to safestrap option. This can only be flashed on BOK3 Roms

Just flash in safestrap. Your rom may take up to 10 minutes to boot.

For those of you who already have safestrap installed. Here is and update zip to update safestrap. I removed the rom slots since you cannot use them. also added a reminder to flash lollipop kernel. Removed the Format data option as it did not work and caused bootloop. Removed Fix Permissions as they did not work either

Here are the directions

Download Lollipop_Safestrap_Reboot_Extended_PM_V4.zip

reboot to safestrap and flash zip

flash BOK3 kernel which zip will automatically install on your sdcard and internal storage in .1OK3_Stock_KERNEL folder

return to rom and open lollipop safestrap and click on Install Safestrap accept any SU prompts and click Uninstall Recovery

after it says State: Not Installed Click Install Recovery

If state doesnt change after clicking Install Recovery then reboot phone and come back To this point and see if it says State Installed. If not try again

Now you will have updated safestrap

I tried this method on MIUI found here: http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s5/development/rom-miui-v5-g900f-ry09iu-4-8-11-t2946540 however it hangs on the "samsung galaxy s5" screen. Here's what I did:

- wiped

- installed miui zip

- installed your international patch

Just hangs on screen. I really like MIUI and one of my main reasons for rooting..had it on my Dinc and my s3...would like it on my s5 if at all possible.

Thanks

EDIT: It's weird, MIUI boots up and has me go through the settings but then shows a black screen. I can power down the phone and the MIUI power down window pops up and allows me to reboot/airplane/etc. and they work. I even see the status bar with battery and network bars..but everything else is black. --- It only gets this far if I don't install the international patch. If I install it, it get stuck at the samsung boot logo.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EM EN:
So I followed directions straight through I'm on BOK3 AND I'M ROOTED! (thanks for that!) , Using Odin I flashed G900VVRU2BOK3_G900VVZW2BOK3_G900VVRU2BOK3_HOME.tar.md5 and Step 18. Use odin and Flash the BOK3 Kernel found in the Odin_Lollipop_Kernels so this is what I did...then when I got to step 26. Remember when using Safestrap to return to rom from Safestrap recovery you must flash the Safestrap Flashable kernel zip matching your firmware The BOK3 is the one you want. So I already flashed the one in step 18. I tried installing and using SS without the SS Flashable kernel and got the same as others just the blank screen after choosing "continue" to booting past SS splash. So I flashed the VZW_BOK3_KERNEL_ONLY.tar again and I was able to boot up again. I want to have safe strap installed and flash custom ROMs like I did with my S4, what do I do now? Can I just flash G900V_OK3_Stock_KERNEL_SafeStrap-Flashable.zip over the one I did in step 18 and again after I couldn't boot with SS installed? Do I use ODIN or do "install from zip" at stock recovery or in SS. So confused... I uninstalled SS.

Separate question: Whats BOK3_Firmware_No_Bootloaders.zip used for?

Thanks again for putting the time in to get the rest of the S5 users root. I had though it was a lost cause!

Use this new implementation of SafeStrap: http://xdaforums.com/verizon-galaxy-s5/development/safestrap-5-0-lollipop-t3313800

The BOK3 Firmware No Bootloaders is to protect you from bricking your phone. The BOD bootloader was the final one that could be downgraded. If you have a BOE1, BOG5, or BOK3 bootloader, it cannot be downgraded. If you were to try to flash a firmware that includes lower version of the bootloader than you already have installed, it will brick the phone.

I'm lost

Ok, I'm lost. I flashed and rooted the phone for lollipop as per instructions in the other thread. Near the bottom it said something about flashing a custom mod. From there I'm lost. I didn't set up any accounts or down load any apps. Can I just continue without installing the custom rom?

What I did do is install the app for Safestrap and installed it and did a backup. Now the phone asked me to reboot the system and I did. What happens is it looked like it shut down {black screen} nothing else. I pulled the battery and the screen said that Safestrap was disabled. Continue and something else showed up then went to black screen. I haven't been able to get the phone back on.

I know this is a bunch of stuff and probably confusing.

Do I need to go into download mode and reinstall the kernal.

Recently received replacement GS5, and gained root with help of others here. But, after driving Lolli for a couple weeks now, I am very unhappy with the battery life.

Are they the same as in the OP? My prior was 4.4.4 with NI2. I was not running a custom, I only rooted to bebloat, and am happy with just that.

http://www.att.com/esupport/article.html#!/wireless/KB425950

Upgrade Device Software for the Motorola Nexus 6 (XT1103)

Instructions :

Update summary

Effective January 13, 2016 Motorola / Google released an Android (6.0.1) update for the Nexus 6 (XT1103) via a rolling Google Over the Air (GOTA) download. A Wi-Fi connection is not required.

What's changing?

OS upgrade to Android 6.0 Marshmallow

https://www.android.com/versions/marshmallow-6-0/

Performance Improvements

What to expect after the update

Although there should be no impacts to settings or data, we recommend that you back up your media files to a PC or using a favorite application (from the Play Store), prior to upgrading the software.

How to update

Google will use a "slow roll" GOTA campaign that starts with 5% of the ELIGIBLE users on day one and ramps up availability to 100% by the end of the first week.

If a user checks for the update via settings before their device is eligible for the rolling GOTA campaign they will see the message that indicates the device software is currently up to date. Users cannot pull the update via Settings.

Once eligible and in Wi-Fi coverage, the download will take place automatically and the user will then prompted to install the update.

Upon receipt of the GOTA notification the customer should:

Ensure the device is sufficiently charged

Connect to Wi-Fi

Select "Install"

How to verify the update

Select Settings from application tray or pull down menu.

Select the More box in the top right corner

Select About Device.

The following information displays:

Software Version: MMB29K

Upgrade file size: 755MB
