[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] MikeSCS:
Roms to Flash and Procedure

I have read all off this post, a lot of Working Root Method, and painiac's Essentials. I'm still a little confused. ok very confused on which files to flash and when to reboot.

I have completed up to step 6 of Working Root Method For 5.0 Lollipop Roms [OE1] [OG5] [OK3] [PB1] [3-3-16] and everything seem fine.

Last time I was at here I flashed G900v_Fix_Safestrap without first advance wipe. Wipe data ,system, cache, dalvik cache and was stuck on the splash screen.

I think I flashed with VZW_BPB1_KERNEL_ONLY.tar.md5 in my phone it says:

Android Version 5.0

Build Number PB1

Kernel 3.4.0 dp@SWHC3810 #1

My problem is I am not sure "exactly" what to do next.

This what I have found:

1. Wipe of System / Data / Cache

2. G900V Fix+SafeStrap Do I reboot at this point

3. VZW_BPB1_ODEX_DEODEX_V8.zip unmodified with an options.prop in the same directory on the SD card. It appears the file was ignored though as the flashlight mod wasn't installed. So not clear exactly which directory the ROM is looking in. I can't write files to the root of the external SD card.

4. BPB1_Firmware_No_Bootloaders_SS_FF.zip

5. G900V_PB1_Stock_KERNEL_SS-FF_Flashable.zip

Make SS and/or FlashFire backup of current ROM

Ensure options.prop is on root of SD card

Go into SS and install Rooting_Tools_For_S5_Lollipop.zip Do I need to do this?

Reboot and open LP SS Recovery

Click install SS

Reboot into SS and wipe everything except ext. SD

Flash G900V_Fix Safestrap.zip

Flash VZW_PB1_ODEX_DEODEX_V9.zip

Flash BPB1_Firmware_No_Bootloaders.zip

Reboot to VZW Stock PB1 ROM...enjoy

1) Boot into SafeStrap Recovery

2) Make a NANDroid backup of your current system, saved to the MicroSD card. If something goes wrong, you can easily restore to where you are now.

3) Wipe cache, dalvik cache, and system partitions.

4) Install your chosen ROM (which will be a .zip file)

5) Install any optional modification zips included and compatible with that particular ROM

6) Wipe cache Do I need to do this?

7) Reboot

I like this the most

I'm upgrading from BOG5, just want to make sure the steps I do are correct:

0- Extract and edit prop file/Copy all the required files to root sdcard

1- Boot into safestrap

2- Wipe data/system/cache

3- Flash G900V_Fix Safestrap.zip

4- Flash VZW_BPB1_ODEX_DEODEX_V9.zip

5- Flash Extra_toggles.zip

6- Flash BPB1_Firmware_No_Bootloaders.zip

7- Flash Lollipop_Safestrap_Reboot_Extended_PM_PB1.zip

8- Reboot & Pray & Cheers !!

This one seem to indicate that the additional file such as toggle are not needed

Download VZW_BPB1_ODEX_DEODEX_V8.zip, extract options.prop to root external SD, make options selected.

Reboot into safestrap

I want a clean install so, erase everything except external SD

Flash:

VZW_BPB1_ODEX_DEODEX_V8.zip

Extra_toggles.zip

Lollipop_Safestrap_Reboot_Extended_PM_PB1.zip

BPB1_Firmware_No_Bootloaders.zip

Reboot and I'm good? If I ever need to enter safestrap again I can use your SafeStrap reboot program, and then flash G900V_PB1_Stock_KERNEL_SafeStrap-Flashable.zip to get me back into android like I currently do correct?

There rom contains all this stuff in the options.prop

This what I am thinking but like I said I'm not sure

0- Extract and edit prop file/Copy all the required files to root sdcard

1- Boot into safestrap

2- Wipe data/system/cache

3- Flash G900V_Fix Safestrap.zip

4- Reboot Question: Do I go back into Safestrap and select Reboot to recovery and continue

5- Flash VZW_BPB1_ODEX_DEODEX_V9.zip

6- Flash Extra_toggles.zip

7- Flash BPB1_Firmware_No_Bootloaders.zip

8 -Reboot Question: Reboot here?

7- Flash Lollipop_Safestrap_Reboot_Extended_PM_PB1.zipSave this on SD card for recovery latter or Flash it with the rest?

Thanks Mike
