I indeed do own a rework station, but my heater is currently burned out, i uhhh.... used to use it ALOT for removing and replacing motherboard sockets when people kept trashing 775 sockets. I started modding routers by changing the rom chips out for bigger ones and even more fun stuff, it's a lil big for working on a phone bit i figure i can adjust it to get it off, or maybe even my hot air station alone might be enough. Otherwise it needs a heater. And it's possible but I'm unsure. Haven't done my homework >.>

Yes lets try and roll back on topic here. So far we have quite a bit done :) i have updated the op like a good OP XD also just spent alot of time trying to get a CID for a dev phone.(and the aboot)
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] autonomousperson:
Oh not sure if youve seen this yet but heres what you need to run to get the aboot

dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p6 of=/sdcard/aboot.mbn

To make a flashable bootloader

1) extract tar of the odin bl package

2) Replace the aboot in the tar with the one pulled from dev device

3) Retar and flash (If we make a tar for everyone I guess we'd do the md5 thing too)

Pm me if you think your going to swap the BGA's, ill send over one of my boards so you dont have to break yours.

GREAT NEWS, We have an aboot and CID!!!!

No testing with a few users, once this is done, will post results!
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] mrjiggywiggy:
Awesome! Whoever gave you it make sure to give them credit, as this is a huge service to all of us. Good luck with the tests!
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] GeTex:
Going to credit the ones who gave us the CID and aboot along with our testers!

Going to update this thread into a guide soon along with a new op :)

THANKYOU EVERYONE!
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] ruckas22:
I'm so thankful to everyone for their hard work and cannot wait...i have 4 kids so when im not parenting (while they're sleeping) i am messing with my phone.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] autonomousperson:
Ill modify the samdunk file to auto change it to the good cid to prevent mistakes. That should simplify it a bit for people.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] GeTex:
Thats awesome!

Can we make this into an apk? just a root unlock apk one click thing? would eliminate the trouble with the terminal for alot of people who can't figure it out, otherwise for now i can make a batch script to automate it from the adb terminal :P
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] autonomousperson:
Uh your missing the thing with flashing the boot loader though odin. I guess it should be possible to make an update.zip for recovery? Im no app dev :p however I can probabally make an app to change the cid. Making a batch file is probably the easiest method. If your going to do it then make a sh file for linux and osx too.

[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] jrkruse:
People when trying the safestrap method, wipe data and cache and system in safestrap before you flash the restore zip. When the zip is done flashing just reboot system. Don't go to twrp and wipe again. This messes up systemless root. If you do do a wipe in twrp you must reflash supersu zip
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Indyultra:
I know this doesn't help right at the moment but in a month of so, I'll donate my s5 to jkruse for testing.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] TioCareca:
Yes, in the first safestrap method posted, just as i said the MM rom could not be rebooted because it reflasheds the stock boot.img, but the bootloader and baseband was updated...
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] i9192droid:
Not working... System UI stopped after flashed PB1_Flashfire_Prepare.zip

Will the rom be the problem? May be the kernel?

Yes.

Upgraded from stock TW PB1 to stock PD1. Still unlocked and rooted.

Finally took plunge about 3 hours ago, working fine so far. .

What rom you running
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] i9192droid:

[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] jrkruse:
Might want to re read those directions. Im pretty sure I tell you to be on a 5.0 tw rom before you try the process to upgrade bootloader

[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] jrkruse:

Hey, sorry I missed this, haven't had time to check XDA recently. Do you still need a guinea pig? I'd be glad to volunteer one of my S5's (currently on unlocked rooted OK3).

For the final step, you can flash any pre-OE1 stock ROM without the aboot partition.

Running CM13 on one of my S5's with NCG bootloader, no problems. You may want to update modems/baseband to the newest available though.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] jrkruse:
Why dont you flash my stock rooted PB1 rom get it up and working. Try the flashfire method again
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] i9192droid:
Tried all methods and none is working for me... idk whats the problem... I feel frustrated haha

Currently on PB1 rooted from the thread Working Root Method For 5.0 Lollipop Roms [OE1] [OG5] [OK3] [PB1] [3-3-16]

CID starts with 15

used first unlock option:

Method 1: 1-Click APK (Easiest! thanks [MENTION=1949695]jrkruse[/MENTION])

CLICK TO HIDE CONTENT

Requires Busybox to be installed

1. Install SamsungUnlockerS5.apk

2. Grant SU access

3. Click On Install SamBootloader Unlocker

it checks busybox, installs, clean script, then auto closes. then nothing. Tried rebooting and trying again but no luck. Have I missed a step anywhere?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] TioCareca:
Apk never worked for me, try adb method...
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] markallen1988:
If I have a S5 that has never been rooted and is on the current OTA MM version, can I downgrade it to PB1 and unlock the bootloader? What steps do I need to take to downgrade/root? It's my wife's phone, she finally said I can root her phone since the OTA screwed it up. Have read much of this thread and others, but haven't really seen anyone with unrooted stock MM. Being on MM isn't necessary, I would rather install older ROMs anyway. Thanks. I have the 15 MMC.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] GeTex:
probably the part where you are told to power off, not reboot???
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] youchian:
Next step says to type in Yes somewhere before power off though, and nothing ever came up for 30+min. Gonna try one of the other methods I guess

---------- Post added at 07:41 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:26 PM ----------

Thank you, ADB method worked!
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] GeTex:
Adb seems yo be solid for this, apk works awesome if you know what ur doing but adb is more fun

Adbtools was something I assembled to be lazy for myself because I liked having not to type crap, but I decided to add it to the thread to make it easy for everyonr
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] youchian:
nvm figured it out
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] djr4x4:
On PB1 rooted.. Tried the 1st method a cpl of times to no availability.. Been out of the game to long and don't have the faith in me to mess with adb.. My phone is a 15 chip, guess im being a lil cautious.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] TioCareca:
If you follow the commands right, the worst it can happen is that your bootloader will keep locked.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] djr4x4:
Ended up trying method #2.. 1st time was a no go, but 2nd time took...
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Maphack:
sorry, last time i tried this i bricked my phone about a month or so back and it took me 2ish days to get it back from stock to lollipop so...

backup all the data on my EXTERNAL sdcard, erase everything on my external sd card (can i do that through root explorer or should i reformat it as exfat on my computer?) then i run the apk?

again, sorry if this question has been answered a million times. i don't know if i really should care about unlocking my bootloader, but i enjoyed tweaking my s3 with custom kernals and am hoping to do that again.

edit: i'm running the ported alliance V10 and i flashed the PB1 firmware (not sure if that was a great idea, but it seems to be running fine) just for the modem.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Sam Spade1:
would like to know if I could just flash (using TWRP) - G900V_PD1_Stock_Deodexed_Debloated_Rooted_ROM.zip (For "Unlocked" Bootloaders Only!)from muniz_ri, how to update to G900V_PD1 - 6.0.1 page
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] mastertech007:
FYI. For anyone going to stock PD1, TWRP 3.0.2.2 will no longer allow access to micro sdcard. After searching thru, had to down grade TWRP to 3.0.0.0 and now have full access to micro sdcard. Hope this saves someone some trouble.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] jrkruse:
Only certain people have trouble. I use 3.0.2.2 and it reads my sdcard fine
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] youchian:
So... after unlocking bootloader my microSD card turned from 32gb to 67mb/75mb. Can I reformat it or do I need to keep it as is for backup?

[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Andresakapaco04:
Can xposed framework be installed on PD1 im running stock deodexed rom, just wondering wich xposed would be correct for my device
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] roachkv:
Forgive my ignorant questions, but my searches were in vain.

I'm on NK2, 4.4.4, and I've successfully unlocked the bootloader and installed TWRP.

1) do I now have "ABOOT"?

2) I can't simply flash/upgrade to the stock Marshmallow, correct? My reading of this thread seems to indicate that I have other hoops to jump through. Right?

My first choice is to install a stock MM and debloat with TiBu. However, flashing CM 13 seems much easier... IF I have aboot.

TIA
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] djr4x4:
Why not just upgrade to PB1, root/unlock, and then do this part in the OP to get you on PD1 stock/rooted/unlocked..

Upgrade To PD1 Stock Rooted Rom With PD1 Unlocked Bootloader From 5.0 TW Rom With PB1 Unlocked Bootloaders

Download these 2 files

Restore_PD1_Unlocked_Rooted.zip

Safestrap_MM_Updater.zip

Reboot to TWRP

Flash Safestrap_MM_Updater.zip

Reboot enter safestrap

Wipe data wipe cache wipe system

Flash Restore_PD1_Unlocked_Rooted.zip

reboot should be on unlocked PD1 rooted MM stock rom
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] roachkv:
Maybe I'm making this too complicated, but here's my issues:

In order to "just upgrade" to PB1, per the OP, I have to "Uncheck auto reboot" in download mode. I've never seen options in download mode. I don't have a Windoze machine and therefore don't have access to Odin. Heimdall apparently doesn't work on anything after 4.4.2. And the file "G900V_Firmware_PB1.tar.md5" he says to flash...where does that come from? It wasn't on the post he linked to.

Also, in the section you quoted, there's references to Safestrap. I never bothered installing that. Is that something else I'd have to do or does it get installed when flashing Safestrap_MM_Updater.zip?

Which is why I asked if I have aboot now. Because it seems like if I can just flash CM13, I'd be done with it.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] GeTex:
aboot is a bootloader file, not a mode, type, or special thing.

you have an unlocked bootloader. You will need ODIN to flash this, i assume odin will functuon with wine but idk, never tried

create a windows vm?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] mastertech007:
I too am curious to know. I flashed a couple, but keep getting stuck at Samsung custom screen.

Again, THANKS worked like a charm...
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] roachkv:
jrkruse, where do I get G900V_Firmware_PB1.tar.md5? It isn't in the other 2 files you reference.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] drewcu:
Like you I was on 4.4.4 NK2 a couple of hours ago with bootloader unlocked but just stock recovery. After many questions to [MENTION=1949695]jrkruse[/MENTION] and much reading on this thread, I FINALLY decided to attempt the upgrade to a rooted MM via [MENTION=1949695]jrkruse[/MENTION]'s older method from http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=67175885&postcount=1659 involving MMBootloader_Unlocker_NoSD.apk, PD1_Firmware_Modem_HLOS_No_Aboot.tar.md5, and G900V_PD1_Stock_Odex_Rooted.zip. Windows and ODIN are required still with this method. The twist: I skipped upgrading to PB1 first -- I went right from NK2 to PD1.

Other than now seeing the message about "Recovery/Kernel Is Not Seandroid Enforcing" because Knox is now tripped from TWRP (right?) and thinking I screwed up somehow, everything went fine. It did hang for about 10-15 minutes on the red Verizon screen initially but I was patient and didn't have to pull the battery or anything. MM finally started and it is rooted and everything. Oh, I did have to install TWRP 3.0 over the top of 3.0.2 because the latest version couldn't read my SD card.

I don't love MM so far mainly because I have to redo all the Android settings I had working for me the last year or so. My phone also seems to be running hotter and seems to take longer to charge over USB (normally slow I know) than KK. I am sure it will grow on me and I do appreciate the better software powering the fingerprint reader and the better security. Now to figure out how to get all my apps back on there easily using either the Flashfire backup or Titanium apps backup I made. I am figuring one of those options won't work as I would want so hopefully the other will come through. :)
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Wired4Fun:
These 2 files appear to have the same target. I'm trying to get the PB1_FULL_firmware, but it's directing me to the same file as the much smaller PB1_Firmware file.

Safestrap method worked great for me going from PB1 to PD1. Thanks jrkruse! I tried the flashfire method a few times first but couldn't get past the red verizon screen.

Is anybody else having trouble turning advanced calling back on? I tried a cache wipe and booting without sim but no luck. Wifi and bluetooth work fine.

adb shell

I checked it with put command first and it was null. Tried setting it to 0 and 1 with no luck.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Crescentius:
So I started from rooted, unlocked PB1, and followed the instructions to use flashfire to update to PD1 stock with unlocked bootloader. I am now on PD1 and have confirmed my bootloader is unlocked but I seem to have lost root. What's the best course of action from here? I have reinstalled TWRP via odin, and tried to install the latest supersu zip but get an error reporting no boot image.

Notes:​

If You Bricked Your Device somehow someway

1. Download the following image https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24562946973631519

2. Download https://sourceforge.net/projects/win32diskimager/

3. Attach a micro sdcard(min 16GB class 10, others way work but unsure) to your PC via a reader

4. Backup all data on the micro sdcard, EVERYTHING WILL BE ERASED

5. Extract the image from the zip

6. Select write option, select the img file, select SDcard

7. Now write

8. Pop the Sdcard into the phone, and try and power it up

9. When you do open download mode

10. Goto odin and flash a FULL STOCK TAR

11. Start from scratch

To reuse the card it will need to be formatted using fdisk, or android

Also If you have issues flashing modems, firmware, or anything

To make the SD card usable again, format using android!

Or keep it as a backup

IF YOU FLASH STOCK BACK TO THE PHONE, IT WILL RELOCK THE BOOTLOADER, Requiring your run the script ONCE and it will be unlocked again

Source Located @ https://github.com/beaups/SamsungCID

Those of us on 11 Chips, some research is starting to verify if there is a vulnerability

If you are interested

Development for Chip 11's is located in this thread. THERE IS NO EXPLOIT AS OF THIS OP's last update. WILL UPDATE FOR FUTURE NEWS. It's R&D ONLY

[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] frznfngrs:
I am extremely confused by what appears to be conflicting information. My understanding of a verizon locked bootloader, is that there is no way around this whatsoever at this time. AM I correct or is this article applying to non-developer edition verizon phones.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] jrkruse:
What thread is this? Either your here to unlock your bootloader or your here to update your unlocked bootloader. If your bootloader can't be unlocked then there is nothing in this thread for you
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Crescentius:
This is what I tried, unless I am missing something obvious. I downloaded the latest zip from chainfire, and tried to install it with twrp. The log in twrp says boot image not found aborting, and supersu isn't installed when I restart. Tried installing from the play store and it says it can't download the binary.

I started on stock pb1 full firmware via odin, and followed your guide to root. I then followed the guide in the OP to unlock the bootloader, which was successful. I then followed these steps in the OP exactly:

After reboot I still had an unlocked bootloader, but twrp was gone, and no root. I used the file in the guide. I verified with SamMobile that I am, in fact on the PD1 bootloader.

You can unlock non-developer phones with this guide, but this will only work if your CID number begins in 15. Developer phones are unlocked by default and thus have no need of this guide.
