Maybe so. Not sure what eventually cleared it. I powered it down and dropped it on the charger last night. This morning when I turned it on, it booted up right to the setup app. I went through the root process again and all is well. I won't be trying this rom again. Not sure what it was that went south with the G900V_Fix Safestrap.zip flash. My goal was to shut down the OTA push to Marshmallow which I do not want. I am there. Good enough. Now I just have to dig and find out if there is a similar process to get my nVidia Shield K1 rooted to prevent the same OTA push.

I am not sure what options I am actually not getting that this rom gives. Some of the flags are rather unclear. Not sure exactly what these do:

Rooted/Busybox/Init.d

Debloated (If YouChoose To)

Fixed Tethering

Fixed Private Mode

Added SBrowser

SD Card Fix

Device Status Official

Flashlight Toggle

Call Recording

Call Message Blocking

Call Button added to call logs

With the rom in the root package I have a flashlight toggle widget so I am not clear what the one above refers to. And what apps got the axe with bloat flag. What was fixed with tethering and private? What is SBrowser? And not sure what the 3 Call things would do (Recording I can guess) but the others?

Forgive me as I am new to rooting and just used your guide to root my Verizon S5 BPB1 build. I would like to get these updates, but before I do anything I wanted to be certain of what to do. I downloaded the file VZW_BPB1_ODEX_DEODEX_V9.zip & Extra_toggles.zip. Do I open Safestrap -> Reboot Recovery -> Install & install both of these one at a time? I did read the part on your rooting Verizon S5 where I need to wipe prior to this action. I would just like to make sure this is the correct action as I tried to use Flashfire for MM & ended up bricking & having to unroot/reroot. Thank you in advance for any information & your work and help you've provided so far!
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] wicked_g:
wipe data, cache, & system then flash v9 and then flash extra toggles

edit: backup your current rom before you wipe
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] duece29203:
Thank you for the info. What you mentioned would all be done in Safestrap recovery, correct?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] wicked_g:
yes
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] duece29203:
Thank you for your help, I was able to flash each of the .zip from that page and everything is working well. I'm even able to activate hotspot by just clicking the icon! (My main reason for rooting)

I'm on BOK3 with Kernel 3.4.0 and NO_BS_BOK3_V4, to get to BPB1 do I just:

1. Safestrap

2. Clear data, cache, system

3. Install:

a. BPB1_Firmware_No_Bootloaders_SS_FF.zip

b. G900V_PB1_Stock_KERNEL_SS-FF_Flashable.zip

c. G900V_Fix+Safestrap.zip

d. VZW_BPB1_ODEX_DEODEX_V9.zip

e. Extra_toggles.zip

f. Lollipop_Safestrap_Reboot_Extended_PM_PB1

Or am I overdoing this?

Safestrap Splash Screen Missing

I'm a novice, and thanks to all the helpful posts in this and other threads, I've finally managed to get my Verizon S5 rooted and set up with this debloated, deodexed, modded ROM, and it's awesome. The only thing I haven't been able to get right, and I've tried numerous times, is to get the SS splash screen on boot. I can Boot to Recovery from the app, so worst case scenario is I flash stock from Odin, install SS, Boot to Recovery, and flash my backup, but having the splash screen would be comforting. It's a problem I've seen referenced on a bunch of forums and threads in xda, but I haven't seen a solution. Does anybody know if there is one?

Thanks!
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] mcmurphy_rp:
I've also noticed that my SS backups are all named with the wrong date and time. Every time I do something (not sure what - maybe reinstall SS?), the clock starts running at 2014 01 01 again. This is ONLY for the SS backups; when my phone is on and running the ROM, the date and time are fine. Wondering if this might be a hint as to why I don't get the SS splash screen?

[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] jdrch:
Hope this isn't too much of an obvious question, but can I safely flash this ROM from TWRP without overwriting the TWRP partition or relocking my bootloader? I'm trying to resolve a GPS issue that apparently can only be fixed in a TouchWiz ROM, so I'm basically trying to get into TW, fix the problem, and then bail out and get back to CM 13. Will this ROM work for that purpose?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] bryank29:
That is most likely something in SafeStrap. I have noticed it too.

Just wanted to ask this question again. When selecting "mode" from the Camera, and choosing to download more modes, I get an error "Unable to open app. com.sec.android.app.samsungapps is off. To this this application on, tap App info, then tap Turn On"

But nothing works, that app doesn't exist in this build. Is anyone else having this issue? Same goes for downloading the Samsung Video editor...it won't download, because it needs samsungapps to perform.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] TheShadowfox:
I've had many issues trying to install the xposed framework on my G900V. I've heard that I would need a deodexed rom in order to flash the files properly. Will this rom be able to support the xposed framework install? I would really appreciate anyone's input on this. I've uploaded some screenshots just in case that helps, please let me know if there is anything else that is needed to help get an answer.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] ruokuo:
I don't think deodex is necessary.

Assuming you have unlocked bootloader, You would need to flash the arter97 xposed framework in the twrp.

[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] TheShadowfox:
Well I feel like a dingus. Sorry bud. But thank you for the tip.

UPDATE: I did try without using this rom and got a failed message. I'm going to install the rom that this thread talks about first before continuing.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] rockpaperscizor:
Its been a while since I've installed this rom and I'm trying to flash the required arter zip for xposed modules. I have the correct file for my specific cpu but it's been a while since going into custom recovery. The safestrap installer would boot to a black screen and nothing would happen. I believe I unlocked the bootloader so I'm looking for a simple recovery option to flash the arter zip for xposed.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] rockpaperscizor:
I was impatient and it just wasn't showing the splash screen for safestrap and...Whelp, looks like my first hiccup. I tried installing arter's v86 in safestrap, and now I get bootlocked on the red Verizon screen. What would my next step be in recovering my phone? It's been a long time and I don't remember making a back up or not :eek: Could I use the default recovery to flash this rom again?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] ldeveraux:
I think you need to reflash a rooted rom, or flash a Rom and root it. Then unlock bootloader again. Once done, install twrp instead of safestrap, and flash the zip through recovery. Or just flash it with flashfire.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] bad bone:
Just install TWRP recovery there's a Odin flashable tar somewhere around here
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] rockpaperscizor:
Thanks, all. I flashed the stock rom and rooted it. It's not letting me install safes trap so I'll have to unlock bootloader and some more reading.

And I need to double check my steps for installing xposed on 5.0 stock rooted rom because I did it incorrectly the first time
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] TheShadowfox:
The G900V does not have the ability to unlock the bootloader unless something special has come out today. I have installed this custom VZW rom with deodex selected per instructions and will attempt to install the xposed framework.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] ruokuo:
G900V can definitely unlock the bootloader if it is using Samsung eMMC. In fact, there is the sticky unlock bootloader thread for a while...
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] TheShadowfox:
My mistake, everywhere I have looked I've turned up dust. I thought the eMMC was set and wasn't something that can be changed.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] ldeveraux:
It is only unlocked on emmc starting with 15, but unlocked nonetheless...
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] rockpaperscizor:
I've unlocked the bootloader before. But do I need to do this for anything besides a custom recovery? I'm simply trying to get xposed framework installed and to no avail. I'm currently trying to install safestrap and it's not showing on boot. I tried installing through the lp install center as well as flashing the file in the OP with flashfire and nothing shows on boot, it just shows the standard boot screen with the unlocked "custom" splash. I'd simply like it for a backup if anything go astray while installing the deodexed custom rom. To have the deodexed version, I just need to have the edited options on my sd card before flashing the rom, correct? I may just go with flashfire and install the rom that way if I can't get safestrap.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] TheShadowfox:
Hey gents. Android modding newbie here. I followed the instructions as closely as I think I could have. I'm flashing the zip now via safestrap with the deodex selected. Is there any way to verify that my rom is deodexed? I just want to make sure that I have all of this correct before I proceed to install Xposed. I appreciate the assistance.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] ldeveraux:
When it's flashing, it reports when it is deodexing. Right after it installs... Or just check your folder for odex files
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] bryank29:
Those of you on this rom...can you do me a favor. Open your Camera, go to MODE, then scroll to the bottom and select "DOWNLOAD". Do you get an error?

Does anyone know of a way to get My Knox to work on this ROM? I am able to install My Knox from the Play Store, but when I open it, i receive an error stating the following: "My KNOX cannot be installed because a custom OS has previously been installed on this device"

I used the "KNOX Status Samsung" app to check if my KNOX got tripped, which it didn't. Additionally, when I installed the ROM, I made sure to NOT remove KNOX from the ROM by doing the following:

###Remove Knox From Rom###

# Yes=1 Remove Knox #

# No=0 Leave Rom Stock #

removeknox.rom=0

AND if I need to extract any of those first let me know, If I do extract them do I use SS to Flash still or use Odin.

HotSpot questions

Hi all, and thanks for all the work to make this incredible ROM!

I have installed this ROM on my Galaxy S5 (SM-G900V) w/ default option.prop looking for root and ease of open hotspot use. Operation is good, but the hotspot speed seems slow. I have an old Droid Bionic (Verizon) that has SOKP ROM, allowing an open hotspot, and if I swap my PC wi-fi connection between the two hotspots, the Bionic overall Wi-Fi speed is appx. 150K, as reported by Glint on the PC, and the S5 overall Wi-Fi runs around 18K. Both phones run as BYOP (Bring-Your-Own-Phone) on StraightTalk, obviously using Verizon (CDMA) towers.

Are there APN settings or other places I could look for some help? My network service is set for LTE/CDMA, and APN settings can't be edited. If you may need any other info, please let me know.

What is deodexed? i need this rom to install xposed? or i can install xposed on my stock rom 5.0?

Similar issue here ... hotspot seems unusually slow compared to with OK3 build. And also on the phone after hotspot has been turned on.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] mnorris298:
Would this work for those if us with Toshiba chips since its based on the stock ROM?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] al50:
Not being a smart!*# but if you know what SafeStrap is, then you'd know that this ROM is for locked or unlocked bootloaders......just to help out a little more, this ROM was developed about a week or 2 before the unlock method became out and available.....lol :p:)

So to answer your question, yes you can install this ROM on your Toshiba eMMC 11 chip device
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] mnorris298:
Yeah I know what safestrap is, thanks for the info. So installing this through safestrap should work?

[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] barbieluv08:
Hi Guys, is there a marshmallow or higher update on the g900v with working root?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] bryank29:
Yes, my phone is encrypted. However...I had to do a step or otherwise it breaks. If your phone messed up during encryption it is a bad day and a pain to re-flash, etc...

Follow these instructions: http://i.imgur.com/xzllcZ6.png

Also, you would need to do the same thing to decrypt.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Abdullah_10:
You were able to do this without KNOX!!? If so, that's great. Thanks for the help!!!! :good:
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] bryank29:
I just realized I don't know if I have knox or not. I mean I am running this build and I followed the instructions. It's been probably 6 months so I don't remember if I set a 0 or a 1 in the config file for it.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Abdullah_10:
No worries. I failed on my first try, but succeeded on the second try by reflashing, keeping KNOX, and doing it in safe mode. However, I bricked my phone by trying to install xposed after I had encrypted it.

I am now going to decrypt, flash stock, and then start over. However, this time I will install xposed framework prior to encrypting. I appreciate your help
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] bryank29:
I never could get xposed to work on mine...so I left it off.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Abdullah_10:
Yeah, I just failed encryption with xposed framework installed. I guess, while there you can root + encrypt, encryption+xposed is sadly out of the question.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Minikefala:
Hey, I am running rooted PB1 from this thread, with unlocked bootloader, safestrap and twrp installed. Were you successful in installing xposed on this rom? Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] al50:
I grabbed the link from another thread but try this version and be sure SuperSU is updated and that you do a Nandroid before installing Xposed. Also, install the apk first as you normally would but don't open. Reboot to recovery, wipe cache and Dalvik cache. Flash the zip and reboot. It will take some time upon reboot, so don't think you have bootloop because you don't. Not unless it doesn't take....

Use Alpha 4 along with V 80.1

MMS Issues

My phone has MMS issues with this ROM (Deodexed).

#1 MMS are failing to be sent and I suspect that MMS(picture) size is too large for AT&T network

#2 Incoming MMS creates separate group thread that includes person who sends MMS and me

I can't find phone setting to regulate that. I searched and found a file com.android.mms_preferences.xml where I can see coding lines that describe these conditions. I tried various app to access the file and edit it but every time file resets to its original values. Am I missing something? Did anyone else had the same issues?

Values I found within file:

<string name="pref_key_mms_max_size">1.2m</string>

<string name="pref_key_mms_image_resize_resolution">qsxga</string>

<boolean value="true" name="pref_key_mms_group_mms"/>

Yeah man, I too would like to get some more detailed info about the option.prop deal!?

I can extract option file from ROM zip, edit with text editor on phone, or I can do it on my laptop correct? Once I've edited said file, what then? OP says put it on root of internal or extSD, which is what I did. Was just wondering if I have to extract, edit file then re-zip & re-flash? Even then, how do I access the other included mods?

I just wanna be clear on it.... I like to get Sh!t right the first time, ya know!?!?

Thanks all.....
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] al50:
Extract the prop only, rezip the ROM, edit the option.prop as you'd like and place on internal or external SD card. If you have 7Zip, you can view the zip and pull the option.prop file from the zip to where you don't have to unzip/rezip. Hope this helps you.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Azuma73:
Do I have to re-flash or just reboot? How do I access/activate other options or are they all just activated now? How can I check options?

Sorry dude...
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] al50:
You edit the option.prop before you flash the ROM and place on SD card (IN/EX). Then flash the ROM. So if you're already on this ROM and weren't able to edit the option.prop, then you'll have to reflash the ROM. Just be sure that the option.prop is on your IN/EX SD.

I tried adding xposed to this ROM after editing the props file to be deodexed and I ended up in a bootloop. Tried flashing KitKat kernal but it just bootloops still. like the lollipop safestrap file I used to install didn't stick. Guess i need to start over. I like the options prop file, neat way to do mods during flash.

I'd suggest flashing this in Odin to get back to stock PB1. Then re-root using NEW method, it's real easy. Worked for me.
