Once you go into recovery(SS), you wipe cache and delvek cache then flash the Xposed zip file, flash the "XXX...No Bootloader" kernel, then reboot the phone and wait patiently for the Home Screen. Open Xposed and it should be installed. This is how i install Xposed and have no issues...Maybe someone can chime in as well and if they have or haven't had any issues......

Can anybody give me an idea of what the best version of this for would be for my GS 5 SM-G900V? I wanted V10 but it says it is updated Base to 900F BOH4. Will this make much of a difference on my device? I am rooted w/unlocked BL on PB1. Thanks in advance.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] augiebaez04:
I installed this on mine with pb1 dont know if it matters but flashed rom and the addons as the instructions say then the stock pb1 kernel and firmware. First boot takes a bit but fires up and runs like a champ. Oh and dont for get the mms fix.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] stajam:
Coolio... Yeah, I just did the Bootloader unlock and installes TWRP today and just wanted to make sure it was cool to install. I think it'll be alright though since it you say it works on SS. Also, to be clear, you have the SM-G900V? Thanks.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] augiebaez04:
Yep g900v here... but didnt do bootloader unlock just rooted and flashed with ss. I dont know much about unlocked bootloader so to be honest might wanna try to find out. Ive been flashing roms since i had an s3 to the s4 and the s5 but with all these bootloaders being locked and all im not 100% sure on what to do.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] stajam:
I hear that I do. Same here. GS3, GS4, GS5, Tab S, Tab Pro, HTC OneM8, A couple of differ droids. No stranger to the scene, just unlocked BL's lol.

Just not real sure how different SS w/Locked BL and TWRP w/Unlocked BL are.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Stupifier:
Ummm.... If you guys owned a Samsung S3 and rooted it... You probably had an unlocked bootloader. I know for sure I was flashing custom kernels on my VZW Samsung S3. Just remember those days and you are all set.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Maphack:
Almost kept me from giving up my s3... Now I find myself in the same position with my s5... Decisions..

ask before flash?

I am sorry for such a silly NooB question but I have tried it on my own 3 times now without success… So I have studied and read up and I think I am ready to try again!!

My phone: SM-G900V, (VERIZON – with eMMC CID of 15!!), Towelrooted, Android 4.4.4, Baseband and build: ANI2. Bootloader?? Not sure how to find that out.. and I have tried flashing a few things but always end in a boot loop so – I have Odin’d back to stock G900VVZW1ANI2… ??? But I HAVE NOT flashed any of the locked boot loader files…

Okay – I have SS 3.75 installed and working. When ever I try to update to Lollipop SS 5 I get into a bootloop (I suspect firmware and b/l too old?)

So stealing the step by steps from LiRa89 in his post http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=65661906&postcount=157

-load all necessary zips to sd card (found on first page of thread OP)

-went outside my house, turned on gps and got a lock on by using maps app

-turned phone off and put it into download mode (power+home+volume down)

-flashed NI2 kernel (because im still using kitkat SS) using Odin on PC (to get to SS) Do I need to do this since I am still on NI2 kernel?

(after odin is done phone restarts and thats when you press to go to recovery otherwise it will boot loop if that's the case put phone into download mode again and flash NI2 kernel again, pay attention this time)

-once on SS i created a back up of current rom (just in case)

-wiped/factory reset (do not restart phone, stay on SS for the entire process)

-install Alliance rom zip (this creates folder "Alliance-Zips" on root of your internal storage which you can access while on SS)

(you would now install Alliance s6, sammy or google debloat zips found on "Alliance-Zips" folder if needed, i personally didn't install any)

Okay - but to be clear if I want to - I would add sammy AND google AND extreme debloat to the install list? Or are they really one of the other type things?

-installed the mms fix zip (found under OP) & (optional) alliance dark theme zip (found in "Alliance-Zips" folder)

Umm... and really - I am adding all of these zips in order to the INSTALL button within SS 3.75 and then letting it cook through in turn each zip file

-wiped cache/dalvik only* (optional)

-*Very important* flash bok3 kernel (found in OP)

-wiped cache/dalvik only* (optional)

-reboot and waited about 10 mins.​

So - please take a look at my text in red and let me know if I missed a step.

Also - should I break it down into a few steps? Maybe update my F/W and Bootloader in one step - then take a backup and then carry on?

Oh and - I did follow the steps to unlock the Samsung Bootloader with the APK file. It said it worked - but I didn't notice any change. Not sure what I am supposed to see to indicate unlock - but I am guessing that the APK will work AFTER I update my F/W and Bootloader... I am guessing - especially since I am no longer with VZW that it would be wise to unlock my B/L for the long term of my phone?

Thanks jrkruse and everyone for helping!
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] al50:
Making a real quick reply off the top of my head before i go to a meeting but to verify the BL unlock. It's in the unlock bootloader OP of how to verify that you unlocked your BL or not. Power down and go into download mode (volume down, home and power buttons) and look at, i believe, the third line written in red and it should say Mode: Developer. You need to flash the PB1 firmware with no Bootloader for the ROM to work and it's gonna take between 15-20 minutes for the system to boot to home screen. Just a note, the LollipopSafeStrap is made for LP ROM's, not KK. Hope this helps a bit and I'll get back when I can if no one else hasn't
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] wantpizza:
Yep. I know I am not b/l unlocked. I didn't get any text plus the sd card was not formatted. Still looking for help with the questions in red first. I know that they are probably silly and easy but since I have been boot looped 4 times in the late 72 hours I thought it was worth asking first. After I have the new rom and b/l and kernel I will make a new backup and try the unlock apk again.

Thanks again
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] al50:
Are you and confirmed that you have a eMMC 15 chip? That and, if i'm not mistaken, when you do the BL unlock app ,your phone powers down completely? Also, be sure that your phone is unplugged from the PC or charging device because it won't work if it is

Here's a step-by-step instructions that a user/journalist wrote up for unlocking the VZW S5 https://jdrch.wordpress.com/2016/04...genmod-13-0-on-the-verizon-samsung-galaxy-s5/
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] wantpizza:
I appreciate the help on the unlock. But that doesn't get me this ROM. I am 99% sure the unlock did not work. I confirmed my CID is 15xxx... No problem there. I did get to the step where I typed in "yes" in the terminal. But it took almost no time to process... Plus my SD card was not erased and I have no "developer" text upon boot or flash. So let's say I am 100% sure that I am locked.

But first things first, I am still twice shy about my questions in red. I am confident once I CORRECTLY do the other steps that I can unlock my b/l.

I am thinking of going with my best guesses unless someone says I have made a blunder?

Sorry - I know that I am crazy but boot looping your phone 3 times in 72 hours can do that to ya. It seems obvious to me that I am missing something simple in the process that is VERY important....

Thanks again,
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] al50:
trying to help the best i can and sorry not much help, just got in from long day at work and all....from what i'm reading, you're coming from KK and i believe you need/can have to do 2 things. I'll come back to the first one after this 2nd one. When you're in SS, wipe all except you're Ex SD(which you said you did), flash the ROM. then go to the Alliance folder and select which ZIP you want and by that install which 'Debloat' you want BEFORE booting to system. After you flash the ROM, selected ZIP(s), FLASH the BOK3 _Firmware_No_Bootloader ZIP(which you didn't mention of flashing this particular ZIP, you just flashed the Kernel) and wait patiently for the phone to boot the setup screen. You need to be on the LL firmware to run this ROM. You only need to wipe system, data, dalvik cache once and that's before flashing new ROM and the add-ons. If this method doesn't work, then try using JrKruse's or CVertigo1's ROM's to get you on the latest version. But what i believe is that you didn't flash the firmware and was causing you the bootloops. Hope this is understandable to you and you're able to accomplish installing the ROM. :D Bout to call it a night
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] wantpizza:
Success!! Thanks for the help! The key was the firmware it seems. Didn't realize I had to flash back to get in and flash forward to get out...

It is going through the initial boot up and reloading all the apps but GONE is all the VZW crap apps that were always bugging and concerned that I was out of the country... No "Warning - foreign SIM detected"...

Still looking for where to put in my APN settings - but I bet I find that soon.

Thanks again!
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] wantpizza:
Okay - so are the APN settings hard coded in as Verizon? Is there an easy way to change them?

Thanks again,
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] al50:
Glad you were able to finally get the ROM installed. As far as the APN settings, you should be able to go into settings, Data and there should be an APN selection. I'm not currently running this ROM so I'm not totally sure where else you may go to set your settings. Hopefully someone else may chime in on this matter. Good luck and Happy ROM'n :)

Language question

Hello, i'm very new to rooting and installing ROMs, however i've been able to install Alliance ROM (finally)

I have a question, how to enable the other languages? I saw inside the rom that the zips are there, fr_FR, en_GB, it_IT... i looked inside sipdb and VODB in particular.

When i go to change it on settings i see different languages (USA, Spanish, Vietnamese, Chinese and another)

Consider that i have a G900V (USA Verizon), can i do something? I'm interested in enabling the Italian language.

I'm also wondering where it is taking the other languages...

Thanks in advance

Visual Voicemail Basic?

Great ROM all is well on Verizon G900-V, but my vvm apk (Samsung VVM Basic, attached) that worked on my rooted 4.4.4 kernel doesnt seem to play nice with 5.0 or maybe this rom?

It opens just fine but when it attempts to provision I just get cryptic text messages from verizon. seems as though the vvm app isn't intercepting/ interpreting the messages properly and the request times out with a generic error.

Any way to get VVM working again in Lollipop/ Alliance V10?

Thanks all,

[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] al50:
The reason it doesn't work is because its an international ROM and it's stated at the beginning of the OP. One must read....lol But don't know why you're getting Cryptic messages...but try this one that someone posted from another ROM thread but i doubt it will work

So are you saying "HD Voicemail" is the same as "Visual Voicemail Basic" ? I tried the apk in the link you suggested, same outcome although a noticeably different voicemail version.

I have the 15 emmc chip, shud I unlock my bootloader or shud I install this rom via safetrap ?

If i will unlock my bootloader will this rom work ? And in which recovery? Sorry for asking noob question. [MENTION=1949695]jrkruse[/MENTION]
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] al50:
This ROM will work with the unlocked bootloader. Just update to the latest PB1 using one of Jrkruse's ROM's that have the No Bootloader's. Then unlock and use TWRP. All the info is in the unlock thread and i believe it's post #2 of Jrkruse comment/info
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] S.N.@.K.3:
Thanks for replying, i know jrkruse he done a lot for these forum.

Anyway currently I m on og5 u mean to say I shud install pb1 ? And then I continue ur instructions ?

This u want to flash first https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24438995911970805 ?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] al50:
If you just want to install the ROM and not worry about unlocking your device. Just flash the ROM Zip and then the PB1 firmware NO Bootloader Zip and then reboot system. But be sure you flash the mods you want BEFORE booting system
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] S.N.@.K.3:
U want me to install like this, if I m not correct please correct me.

Step by step.

1. Flash VZW_BPB1_ODEX_DEODEX_V9.zip New Version!

2.BPB1_Firmware_No_Bootloaders.zip

3. Which mods ? This one ? Extra_toggles.zip Use To Add Flashlight Toggle ?

Now I dont have to do these steps

1.G900V_Fix Safestrap.zip(Flash In Safestrap Before You Flash The Rom Just To Make Sure Corrupted Headers Are Fixed)

2.SafeStrap With PB1 Kernel

Lollipop_Safestrap_Reboot_Extended_PM_PB1.zip

Lollipop_Safestrap_Only_PB1.zip (For Manual Install)

3.SafeStrap Flashable Kernel For This Rom

G900V_PB1_Stock_KERNEL_SafeStrap-Flashable.zip ?

This rom flash in safetrap ? For that I need root ?

Or this apk will work Safestrap-KLTEVZW-5.01.apk ?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] heezdeadjim:
I'm not new to flashing ROMs (been doing it since floppy days to nVidia 5900 to a 5950 GPU), but new to flashing phones. I bought a refurb Verizon G5. It has been a nightmare to get it to root and unlocked. I used the tute on PB1 and now in "developer" mode. I can flash 900F (UK) ROMs to the 900V, but those ROMS want BOD3 or BNL1 basebands. My question is since I'm planning on using Tracfone "Bring your own phone" and have both CDMA and GSM sim cards (currently the CDMA). I haven't "activated" it yet because I want to get a ROM I really like before I lock it down by baseband.

I'm guessing the hardware for the Verizon is still a CDMA type regardless of the ROM type? Can I still use a CDMA sim card and just add APN's or should I use a GSM sim card and add in APN's? I think I have to use an official 900F UK Lollipop ROM to flash to the BOD3 or other UK basebands since Odin won't let me change the bootloader or baseband. I've literally flashed this phone probably 35+ times now rooting it, losing root, unlocking, losing lock, trying out different roms with the same PB1 bootloader :(
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] bad bone:
This is what I had to do I was on ncg with an unlocked bootloader scroll down to prepare your phone for root

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=64744405

The first time I flashed it rebooted it got stuck trying to boot the recovery I pulled the battery put it in download mode and flashed again it was able to boot stock pb1. Then I rooted unlocked flashed recovery and then started flashing roms yes Verizon is cdma as to the rest no clue
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] heezdeadjim:
Yeah, getting it rooted and unlocked is no longer an issue (I've almost got it memorized due to how many times I kept doing BL flashes with firmware builtin and losing root/unlock). I just would like to know if flashing a ROM with a UK bootloader will put the phone OS into GSM priorities instead and I could still put in CDMA APN's. There'd be almost no point in having a 4G LTE phone if its only going to use 3G GSM bands :(

So yeah, I started flashing the Alliance Rom when it was version 6 or 7. I love it so very much. A few months ago before android 6.x.x was out in other roms I flashed CM 13 on my phone. Now I want to go back to alliance rom, but when I download flashfire it says it is unable to access root. I am using the CM root but it works fine with other software. Then i download TWRP and I tried that but when I try to apply the update, it fails.

Themes not avaliable

So I don't know if I did something wrong, or missed a step, or what. I originally had found this rom a couple of weeks ago and had flashed version 8 and everything seemed to work fine. The biggest thing was that I had access to all of the themes and was absolutely loving it. I found that there was a version 10, so I went ahead and reflashed everything and now I don't have any themes. I flashed the rom, and then the dark, and glass themes and those work fine. But when I go to alliance manager, upload/download themes, view and download themes, there is nothing there. Could there be a step that I missed when I flashed the rom, or have all of the themes been removed? I only found one post that said all of the themes had moved to the alliance server, but I can't seem to get any of them back. When I open the view and download themes tab there is just a blank screen. Thanks for any help and response.
