Download samsung info app and tell me what your bootloader version is

You will probably have to wipe data and wipe cache
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Andresakapaco04:
bootloader says PB1,i have done all the steps idk why its still on PB1
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] jrkruse:
Try following my guide to downgrade to PB1 see if that works

I'm a little bit confused, I was on Stang5litre PB1 rom and firmware/bootloader... yesterday I tried EVERYTHING from the instructions to update to MM, the bootloader would just not stick. I even tried going through the process while still loaded with halfworking (no wifi /back button) MM ROM.

Still would not change the bootloader to MM.

So to have a phone again I wiped everything in TWRP and reinstalled the PB1 Stang5litre Rom. Work great even with the firmware still PD1.

So I see your instructions here this morning it looks like people are trying to GET BACK TO LL., so I ask this-

How did you get to MM and why are you trying to go back to LL now?

I would be happy to help test any new methods for updating bootloader to MM.

Thanks for your hard work guys!

[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] papaquack:
I spent all day yesterday trying to get to the unlocked MM bootloader. I kept ending up with MM installed on the PB1 bootloader, causing the wifi/haptic keys issue. From there, I tried your second method first (going from unlocked LL Bootloader to Unlocked MM bootlader). When I flashed the Restore_PD1_Unlocked_Rooted.zip, I noticed an error popped up. Said something to the effect that the boot image couldn't be found. This was at the end of the flash... not the part where the files were being copied. I tried copying the log file to my SD card so that I could just quote it in here, but even though I can see the file, it won't let me open it or copy it. After flashing, the phone would just sit on the Galaxy screen with the padlock. It rebooted itself once, but then never got past the padlock screen again. I even let it sit there for about 7 hours.

I then tried your first method... (downgrade to PB1 Unlocked bootloader rooted rom from MM unlocked bootloader). Everything flashed and booted into PB1. So now I'm sitting on rooted LL with PB1 bootloader and PD1 baseband.

Hopefully this information helps... and hopefully it's just a minor tweak to Restore_PD1_Unlocked_Rooted.zip working. Thanks for all your help!
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] jrkruse:
First of all are you still unlocked.

---------- Post added at 09:51 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:13 AM ----------

Please if your phone is not in a stable state, like you have mismatched bootloaders or what not, do not try this method untill it is tested by people that have successfully unlocked and updated to MM

Unlocking with nk1 kitkat

Hey, so I have a rooted version of kit Kat on my phone and would actually love to unlock my bootloader and install cm13 if possible. How do I go about this and also is it possible to go back to the locked bootloader with stock TouchWiz again after doing this ?

Correction to title: I'm running nk2.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] TheTrueGatorman:
This method is designed to run from PB1. As stated in many post above. Don't try any other bootloaders.

Yes it was PB1 bootloader and all worked well...

I have done that, i was able to install safestrap and boot PB1 rom again, but when flashing MM safestrap and in safestrap the MM rom it never booted, but baseband and bootloader was updated to PD1...

Everybody testing [MENTION=1949695]jrkruse[/MENTION] method, before you start this method PLEASE Check your system status, in download mode, if its custom it will not take bootloaders.

[MENTION=1949695]jrkruse[/MENTION] have members after flashing PB1 rooted restore, include step to verify system status changes to official?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] TioCareca:
I am flashing pb1 restore as we speak...

Annnnnd, its custom...

But it was custom the first time i tried the method and the bootloader updated, just the rom that dont booted...
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] GeTex:
[MENTION=1949695]jrkruse[/MENTION] can you verify that? As far as I recall we cannot flash bootloaders while system status is custom for dev aboot protection?

Custom is fine as long as stock kernel and recovery is installed. Thats what the safestrap zip does is install those 2 with safestrap
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] bad bone:
Ok what I had to do because I was unlocked with twrp on ncg to update to pb1

Flash stock unrooted in Odin

It will try to reboot to recovery it can't you just removed it go into download mode and Odin stock again

I was locked unrooted pb1

I just downloaded the new files and tried to update to PD1 from PB1. I was able to flash the files and boot into MM, but the bootloader stayed on PB1, resulting in the wifi/haptic issues still. Was able to reboot back into MM without issues. Just can't get my bootloader to update. When flashing the PD1 update in safestrap, it found the boot img, but the next line had an error that said something about aborting the ramdisk. Any more suggestions?

Edit: And to clarify, my bootloader is currently unlocked and remained unlocked throughout the process.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] MikePeterMcCabe:
Still the same problem then. Happened for me as well.

Stuck on Samsung Boot Screen

I just did the Restore back to PB1 process, everything is good and booted.

Then I did the Restore to PD1 process, after I flashed the Restore_PD1_Unlocked_Rooted.zip and rebooted, now it will stuck on Samsung S5 screen :(

BTW, I can boot to TWRP or Download mode fine.

Any idea on the fix?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] jrkruse:
Just boot to TWRP and reflash the Restore_ PD1_ Unlock_Rooted zip.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] ruokuo:
After reflash the Restore PD1 files, It does get past the Samsung screen, but it got stuck on the Verizon screen for over 30mina and the battery gets very hot. Please help.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] jtann30:
I have the exact same problem. Device won't boot after the PD1 restore file. If I wipe cache once more after it freezes, it will optimize the apps and reboots when finished. Then it is stuck again on red Verizon boot logo. Any help is appreciated. :good:
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] magic_man185:
Did you wipe data? Usually if you are stuck at the Verizon logo, a common cause is needing to wipe data.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] TioCareca:
Clean caches and data before flash pd1 restore, it will take loooong time until boot and the phone will get very hot, it happened to me, but it booted and then cooled down and all worked well....
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] jrkruse:
If you reboot to twrp and wipe data and you dont reflash the restore zip then make sure you flash Beta_SuperSU_2.74.zip or you will not have root when the rom boots. Any time you wipe data on systemless rooted roms you loose root and it does take a long time to boot especially if you pulled the battery and do a cache wipe it will take awhile

I have been trying to get these flashfire files uploaded for 2 days. I have been having nothing but fits with AFH with uploads failing at 100%. So Im trying again
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] ruokuo:
So how long does it usually take to boot? I guess I want to know when should I consider it failed.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] TioCareca:
30 minutes more or less....
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] jrkruse:
Did you wipe data and reflash the PD1 restore in TWRP like I said. And when it first starts to boot at black samsung screen did you get the kernel warning and did it reboot once by itself. before proceeding to red verizon screen
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] ruokuo:
1. I did wipe delvik cache, cache, data, system in Safestrap prior flashing the PD1 restore for the 1st time. When I reflash it the 2nd time in TWRP, I don't think I did the wipe. I will try it again.

2.. I did get the SEAndroid message on the 1st Samsung screen and it then reboot to the clean samsung screen prior proceeding to red Verizon screen.

So, here's my question:

- is the Flashfire method better?

- Does FlashFire method needs to reflash the 2nd time as well like the SS method?

- Is 30 min a good time frame to determine the success/faillure? I don't want to cook up the CPU for too long. :)

- Does the MM rom has Tether fix? (It appears the Restore PB1 rom doesn't.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] jrkruse:
You have started this method so finish it

In TWRP (not Safestrap this time) wipe data then Flash the Restore_PD1_Unlocked_Rooted.zip . Watch the Black samsung screen when phone starts to boot up make sure you get kernel warning, phone will reboot once at Black samsung screen you will get kernel warning again then it will go to samsung boot animation then to red verizon boot animation. Put the phone down and come back 30 min later

Alright so I tried to reflash PD1 restore zip again and same results as before. I waited close to an hour each time before re-trying. Yes, I did wipe data before flashing. Tried wiping with safestrap and with TWRP. Always stuck on red Verizon boot logo. Thought it was maybe a bad download. Tried again after re-downloading the zip, still no luck. I think I give up at this point. Is the Flashfire zip for PD1 the same or is it a different file entirely? Will try the Flashfire route when I get home.....
