Anyone think a g900v logic will fit in the g900a housing? Seems like Verizon is the best phone to have, but I don't want to buy a literal new phone
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] autonomousperson:
Yes it fits but the antennas are weird. The ATT model has 1 u.FL connector while the V has 2. Guessing for different bands? It will fit but dont expect good cell coverage.

@GeTex Recommendations of how to replace a BGA?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] beaups:
I've mentioned twice (I think) in this thread that I've already done it, and will release details soon. I'm not trying to be negative, but I don't understand all the "it can be done", " let's try xyz", "this theory might actually work", etc. Its been done already, and details will be released soon enough.

Edit: didn't mean to quote you or direct that at you [MENTION=5414005]GeTex[/MENTION]
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] jrkruse:
Hey Surge1223. How's it going? Its been along time. I just want everyone know if Surge1223 gets on board with this it might just become a reality. He is a great developer. He has helped me with lots of things in the past
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] GeTex:
Oh, I thought you were mad at me, I was under the impression you did this only on the GS4 and we have yet to test it on the GS5(hence why i call it a theory, I refuse to slap it with a fact label without fully trying it myself). I'm not trying to be a **** or stupid or anything. I just want to make this work, and then make it easy so others can accomplish this and FINALLY we can have unlocked bootloaders and either Port roms or possibly people will actually develop for the GS5 assuming they still like the 2 generation behind platform(granted as far as I know the Verizon GS6 and GS7 are royally screwed for development?)

So if this is the case, I eagerly await your details, and will continue to keep this thread updated!

It's has been a pleasure to learn from you [MENTION=711482]beaups[/MENTION] [MENTION=1949695]jrkruse[/MENTION] [MENTION=4939386]Surge1223[/MENTION] and I sincerly hope to be of any help(granted i must sound like a complete moron)

and you did mention it, I even quoted that line in my OP
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] beaups:
I think that's an s5 I used in the video:

[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] GeTex:
Was about to ask if you had a proof of concept, never knew that was ur vid, shoulda known better with the beaups_is_cool lol
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] al50:
I'm merely a "nobody" when it comes to what you Great Dev's have done and continue to do. But I kinda agree with Surge1223 as far as this thread goes. I know how all the crazy uproar went in the General Section of this forum went when the leaked video came upon us. I don't think we(Mods & Dev's) want or need all the "cheerleaders" cluttering up GeTex's thread. Would there be a way to control this from being a "cluttered" thread? I learn a lot from reading all of yals accomplishments and knowledge to help me understand and to help others when I can. I apologize for the off topic but that I'd ask.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] GeTex:
[MENTION=711482]beaups[/MENTION], i assume my thread is pointless then? Cause if you've already done it all, then i think my thread will serve no purpose, unless theres more for me to do???
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] al50:
GeTex, didn't mean for it to where you remove your thread. Just didn't want your thread to get crazy with nonproductive posts. I think it would be good but with a tight moderation. Whatever you decide is respectively taken. Glad there are still people (Dev's) that still keep our devices worth keeping/running. :) :good:
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] GeTex:
It's more the less I feel beaups has done everything already in the shadows leaving me to feel theres nothing for me to do, hence what R&D is there left? Idk. He can chime in
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] beaups:
There will still be some r/d to do (mostly d) when the details are released. Like I said earlier, I'll be releasing details and some sample code, but not a full unlock exploit/utility.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] GeTex:
Oh Cool. Is the not utility because you don't want to be caught or just because you haven't made one or? Just input, lol

I might try and make a at your own risk tool
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] GeTex:
Serious question because i'mg not familiar with your method beaups, does your method stick/does it actually change the CID or is it a temporary mask? If it is a permanent change, does this cause any issue with software, hardware, programs, verification, security, playstore, ect, anything that has access to the CID.

Sorry if thats a annoying question but i think it's a valid question others may want to know
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] beaups:
The exploit actually changes the cid. No idea on any additional implications.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] GeTex:
Thankyou very much. So as I actually was worried about, i swear i've seen the playstore and other apps use the CID as a device identifier. Remember my post a few pages back?

Well apperantly that Device ID is also the Device serial reported to google play and such... Would we have a major issue of our device serials all start matching on google play and such? Our IMEI's would still be different, i assume our google framework ID is generated at first boot. This could be a massive issue in the long run, or even short run.... maybe. Will have to do more research once we have the method.

Thanks for the feedback
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] beaups:
What led you to the conclusion that the "Device ID" = "device serial" and that it's reported to google play and such?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] GeTex:
I apologize. Device ID = Device Serial wasn't a for sure accurate conclusion but the Device Serial appears to be read by google play according to it's permissions(and I've been told before it uses the device hardware serial before, CORRECT ME IF THIS IS WRONG!)

I'm not sure how Google play uses the Serial(device verification, compatibility check, ect)

My bad if anything is wrong, trying to run off my memory and tbh I shouldn't since i've got a good amount of brain damage
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] beaups:
Unless Samsung did something very weird, that should not be related to the real device serial number or the uuid used for Google services. I haven't researched it, its not impossible, but I'd be very surprised.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] GeTex:
I assume I'm crazy, I see a seperate ID listed for a Google Play Services ID(assuming is the google ID) but I'm curious about others commenting apps and other stuff(verizon apps or maybe even verizons own activation service) using the hardware ID during the process? Who knows. Clearly it's not me x.x

Thats a whole nother mess to figure out when we get there

Recover SD Card

Okay.

So everything worked well with the aboot and dev mod. Now my problem is that during the backup and transfer it completely wiped my SD Card (yes you said it would) and now it's only 64 meg. It's a 32 Gig!

What files/data can I move to my desktop (as a backup) so that I can re-partition and format my SD Card to get it back?

:confused:

Thanks

We haven't tested on ATT yet. You can be the first if you want to try it out. We're hopeful it'll work, it has the same functions. Also, BGA reflow is extremely difficult and requires a lot of special equipment.

Did it! Brought the chip up in 25 degree increments, let it sit at 200 for like a minuite then brought it up to around 275. Chip came off then cooled it down slowly! Hopefully it isnt dead. Im going to have to find my hot air gun for resoldering the bga back though. That was kinda stupid.

[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] kilroy1stcav:
I used method 2, on device

Method 2: On Device (WIP)

1. On your device download https://github.com/beaups/SamsungCID...samsung_unlock

2. Move to your root directory of your internal storage(if you can't figure out where that is, you shouldn't be doing this)

3. Using a root file explorer goto /sys/block/mmcblk0/device

4. Copy the file cid to your internal storage(this is a backup of your old cid)

5. open a terminal emulator app

6. type the following

su

cd /storage/sdcard/0/

chown root.root samsung_unlock

chmod 777 samsung_unlock

./samsung_unlock

18. Wait for device to reboot

19. Enter the terminal again and enter the following commands

su

cd /storage/sdcard/0/

./samsung_unlock

20. Once completed reboot to bootloader using your favorite way

21. Verify you are a Developer edition phone now

I had problems with the step: cd /storage/sdcard/0/

On my phone I had to use: cd /storage/emulated/0/

After that money! Just used that in both places that call for it, rebooted to download mode and it says "DEVELOPER" hell ya!

Also after the first set of commands it says wait for phone to reboot, it should say wait for phone to turn off, then reboot, just my feedback, you guys are awesome!

P.S. is there a way too flash TRWP on device? my computer tanked and it will be a bit before I get it back up!

Attempting to look into Method 2 on my

rooted

Verizon S5 with 15 CID...

For some reason with Root Explorer and other file explorers with SU permissions, I cannot copy my CID to another folder as per the following in the OP:

3. Using a root file explorer goto /sys/block/mmcblk0/device

4. Copy the file cid to your internal storage(this is a backup of your old cid)

Root Explorer just says "Copy failed" with no explanation and I even tried again with clicking "Mount as r/w" in the root directory but that also didn't allow the copy. What am I doing wrong?

Thanks.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] autonomousperson:
Use a different app, ive always just used ES running as root. You can alternatively write it down and keep it safe.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] kilroy1stcav:
I had to open it up copy text and then create a cid.txt file, open it up and paste. Same results, just took a few extra steps
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] drewcu:
ES with root still fails to copy the CID. Guess I can copy it down but I am kind of curious to know what is keeping me from a simple copy operation while others apparently have no issues. I also worry about editing the CID file later if needed if a root file explorer app cannot even copy it somewhere else on my phone. It's not like I am saying for the file to be moved -- just copy. When I open it up with a text viewer, I can see the CID number so I know the file is physically there somewhere -- just cannot be copied.

Thoughts?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] autonomousperson:
Just write it down. You cant change the cid file later so it doesnt matter. CID is coppied over from the eMMC at boot. That is just a copy of it.

[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] autonomousperson:
Not sure if thats going to work. If att has a different bootloader where they never intend to have a dev edition it may skip the whole CID match with aboot. I think (from reading the code) that Beaups is able to get normal aboots to become dev edition aboots by adding some dev edition signiture to the aboot. Doing this on an att device could possible mess it up. It is unlikely that att's BL does the CID check. Good luck anyways, if it succeeds ill pm getex to update op.

[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] drewcu:
If we execute Method 2, do we still need a Class 10 micro SD that will then have its data wiped and replaced? Or is that only if we go the Method 1 ADB route?

Seems like Method 2 is easier unless it doesn't work as well or I am missing something, no?

My reason for doing this unlock is so I eventually can have a functional Marshmallow that doesn't have the same severe Metaphor / Stagefright bug present on my Kitkat and even Lollipop (which I have never tried). However it would seem that CM Marshmallow is too buggy for my taste on these phones compared to rooted Kitkat with Xposed and front speaker mod and everything. This bootloader unlock is just too exciting not to ride the same wave with everyone (on CID 15) here. Hopefully one day CM 13 has the same stability and mods (love having a front speaker that plays music) as Kitkat and I will try it then!

I be watching you FOR SURE. Rooted, custom rom G900A (with a code 15...:rolleyes:) here just dying to be unlocked...LOL.

What version of android are you on? OC4, OF3? Let us know which method and what happens. Seems method 2 is easier. I got a spare sdcard. Not leaving my real one in if it works for you....LOL. Hope it does not brick you. If you are rooted and BL is OA1, I wonder if something bad happens if you can still downgrade to NCE...AND BOOT. Hmmmm.

Kind of thought that was more for the ADB route of Method 1, but I will assume it is wiped and back it up to be safe regardless. Thanks.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] autonomousperson:
Looks like it is changed. Both methods do the same thing. Before method one was a script to change the CID then you manually flash the aboot.
