I'm using a 16GB SD card and I am typing "Yes." From the split second I can view the terminal after doing that and before it shuts off, it spits out a bunch of text and looked like it worked. At this point I boot in to recovery, then reboot to bootloader mode, but it does not say "mode developer" or whatever. Says Odin Mode in red at the top leftwith some other stuff right below that.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] GeTex:
It says Developer no where? Verify you have a 15?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] munchy_cool:
Boot into Bootloader mode and check the third last line, It wont say Developer mode on first line.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] munchy_cool:
[MENTION=5414005]GeTex[/MENTION] - if you want you can add below image to OP. I have highlighted where we need to look for developer mode. Odin mode is on top and red and developer mode is in grey on a black background so peeps might miss it.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] johnnyrichter:
Confirmed CID 15. I've used samsung_unlocker twice so far and both times the 'mode developer' line is missing.

It also appears that my SD card is not being wiped like the Terminal Session pre-install instructions say it would be.

Yeah, that line is definitely not showing on my screen. Current Binary says "Samsung Official" and not Custom, if that matters.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] munchy_cool:
Well can you try other methods?

V8 pony it is
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] johnnyrichter:
Can't until after work later today.

My edit above states that my current binary says samsung official and not custom like in the above screenshot. Does that matter?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] munchy_cool:
Well that's because I am on a custom rom and kernel, so that doesn't matter..

V8 pony it is

If I flash a custom kernel will overclocking be available?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] munchy_cool:
kernel has to support it ...
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] kentsimon:
I unlocked my bootloader with jrkruze's apk. 1st I updated my firmware to PB1 with BPB1_Firmware_No_Bootloaders_SS_FF.zip. Then took 2 tries to unlock the bootloader. The 1st time it put cid.txt on my sdcard. The 2nd time it changed the sdcard completely and put a bunch of stuff on it and now my MODE is developer. I then odin flashed twrp-3.0.2-1-klte.img.tar

My problem is when my phone boots I get kernel is not seandroid enforcing set warranty bit: kernel and an unlocked lock on screen. Is this normal? Should I odin flash PB1modem_nonhlos.tar.md5? My phone is working fine. I have flashed RR and that is fine. It is just annoying stuff at bootup.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] thrgk:
I'm OG5 rooted and unlocked bootloader with twrp installed. Can I just flash a PB1 Rom and it'll update me to PB1 and then I can flash any Rom I want ?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] munchy_cool:
it's normal..
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Rakuu:
I believe flashing a custom kernel will make that go away.

[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Rakuu:
Correlation != causation, I'm almost certain this wouldn't cause the problem.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] perfectswanson:
I think I'm in trouble. I decided to upgrade firmware to PB1. I was on an unofficial CM12 Lollipop. I flashed jrkruse's OK3Recovery in TWRP, and then wiped cached in stock recovery and booted up into cm12 and began to re-unlock my bootloader, then in adb I realized I lost root, but couldn't download SuperSu, because I pushed samsung_unlock. I flashed jrkruse's pb1deodex via Odin. It gets passed verizon screen and reboots. Can't flash in Odin. fails....

Did I just do what I think I did?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] munchy_cool:
what do you mean by re-unlock BL?

if you can get it into download mode, Odin should flash stock system. Download it from here.

[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] kentsimon:
Can you point me to a custom kernel to try? Or I'll just live with this as it is normal.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] munchy_cool:

[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] kentsimon:
I'm on Resurrection Remix M v5.6.X

[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] perfectswanson:
I factory reset now I seem to be on jrkruses pb1 stock deodexed which flashed from odin. When you upgrade to pb1 you have to flash ok3recovery or whatever recovery matches the firmware you're on. When I began to re- unlock bootloader. I had no supersu or root anymore.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] munchy_cool:
you can try klte kernels from S5 forum ..

---------- Post added at 11:33 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:31 AM ----------

what do you mean by re-unlock bootloader..if your BL is already unlocked why are you re-unlocking it? What does it say in download mode about the mode (third last line).

If you have lost root, follow instructions in thread in general section and get root.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] perfectswanson:
Yeah I just need to reroot. My bootloader is locked again. From updating to pb1 firmware.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] munchy_cool:
Yeah ..root first and then unlock BL again
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] perfectswanson:
I updated firmware to try a new cm. Also I think jrkruse said that there's no reason for anyone to not be on pb1, but don't quote me. In the process of unlocking bootloader I didn't have root or suprsu because of the update, but I didn't realize that. Thanks, I appreciate everything.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] NotATreoFan:
There's a PB1 firmware out there that doesn't include the bootloader, so it will stay unlocked. I flashed that one after the unlock and before CM13.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] NotATreoFan:
In Post 2 of this thread, under the section for Here Is The Procedure If You Want To Go From Kitkat Bootloader To PB1 Bootloader. There's a link to where jrkruse uploaded it.

-Edit-

To elaborate further, I unlocked the bootloader, then flashed the PB1 firmware in FlashFire, and then flashed the PB1 ROM also from jrkruse. I needed to turn off Activation Lock, and couldn't from the custom ROM I was running at the time.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] perfectswanson:
I might have flashed the regular firmware. I'll try to go back to stock? My baseband and kernel is pb1.

I had odined Stock Verizon 5.0 BPB1 Based Lollipop Rom. Is what I did. I will have to check again to see. The Odin flashable at the end of that Ron's OP.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] TechX1991:
To save you guys some trouble... I ran about 6 custom roms last night

All 6.0 Roms gave me issues with cell service. I'd have data, but no calling and texting

I tried Darthrom 5.0.2 and got the over heating and insane battery killing effects but worked well besides that

Tried a clean CM12, had the same issues with Battery and over heating

it seems anything KLTE (without the VZW) will give no calling and texting but will allow Data

I'm now running a personally modified CM11 (4.4.4) KLTEVZW rom and having no issues. I'll probably release it once its customized more.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] NotATreoFan:
SMS/Voice/Data all work fine out of the box on the CM13 Unofficial build posted in the forum. If you flash one without VZW files, you will need a patch to get voice and SMS working.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] NotATreoFan:
I don't run it, so never tested.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] TechX1991:
Actually tried that and still didn't work.

also forgot to mention I tried MIUI as well and that didn't even boot lol
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] NotATreoFan:
Do you have HD Voice enabled? My work phone doesn't have it, and they won't flip the switch. Perhaps that's why I don't have the issue?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Jimmy4485:
Thank you, I just thought of switching SD cards.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] TechX1991:
Never have had that enabled. But I realized my issue with 6.0 ... I was just too tired to realize it at the time. I forgot to flash the VZW stuff even thought I thought I did

Doesn't matter now though as I've come close to finishing my personal rom and i'm almost ready to release
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] NotATreoFan:
Which VZW stuff are you referring to? I flashed only 3 items: TWRP 3.x (ODIN), CyanogenMod 13.0 MM [KLTEVZW], and OpenGapps Nano.

Everything worked perfect on first boot.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] TechX1991:
I had the CM13 KLTE without vzw because i'm blind and don't think lol I almost bricked this damn thing because of that. It wouldn't let me flash any kltevzw's without update-script modifications afterwards XD I fixed it though so its all good from here and i'm probably about to release a rom after i test it for a day or 2

[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] NotATreoFan:
The S5 was used as my work phone, so minimal Google apps installed. Lovely 2GB data plan forced me to justify every app I installed.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] johnnyrichter:
Hmm. I can't get BusyBox to run because it's giving me an error about an issue with root or supersu. I didn't have supersu installed so I fetched it from the play store and when I try to udpate the binaries normally it fails and tells me to reboot and try again but clicking reboot doesn't close the app or reboot the phone. If I try to let it do it via recovery it doesn't close the app or reboot my phone. What's up with that?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] tsew2674:
I haven't run CM in a while but the last time I did, you didn't need to install SuperSU. Go into developer options and make sure that root is granted to apps or apps and adb. I have a nexus 6 as my personal phone and love it but my work phone is a Vzw S5. I rooted it but all but gave up hope on unlocking the bootloader. Props to everyone for not giving up and shame on all of you folks who kept saying it would never happen.

My s5 has an 11 chip, but I'm watching the R&D thread with high hopes.

First off, thanks to everyone whose work has lead to this amazing discovery and to everyone who has contributed in this thread.

Over the past few days, I've read every single post here and I have one question that doesn't seem to have a solid answer.

Should the upgrade to PB1 happen before or after the bootloader unlock?

Some people say before, and at least one post I saw recommended doing it after.

Is PB1 required at all for proper functionality relating to the BL unlock or use of a custom recovery such as TWRP?

Can I stay on an older build and still install TWRP? I'm currently running NI2 in case anyone's answer will change depending on that.

Thanks.

I got a failure to write error when flashing ncg in Odin. I'm fine now, there was a couple things by jrkruse that I didn't read and/or understand. I had originally thought I had updated to pb1 and thought that I needed ok3 for root. I had flashed the pb1 stock and booted up to cm12, then tried to re-unlock the bootloader since I lost unlocked bootloader during the pb1 flash,but since I flashed pb1 and no supersu on cm12 the unlock via ADB couldn't obtain su or root access. I flashed stock pb1 rom factory reset in Stock recovery, then had to learn how to root pb1. At that point I had trouble with ok3 root. Exe. I thought it was hanging when it was just waiting for my dumb ass to load the kernels. Thanks for the help, munchy_cool, and Notatreofan. I panicked and thought I was screwed so I tried to flash ncg and ni2, thats when I got the Odin error.

Priority #1 Unlock bootloader

Priority #2 Ask if anyonehad encountered problems due to changing CID?

Priority#3 Prepare to get some of that sweet CyanogenMod, oh how I've missed you.

Strangely I had to run the unlock twiceto get my bootloader unlocked but all seems to be running smooth as sllk. Thank you sooooooooooo much, you all rock
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] GeTex:
So far no reported issues by changing the CID but as I'll warn you, we could raise a redflag. OfC i have a pocket full of CID's but... Very quickly this could be depleted
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] perfectswanson:
You might as well upgrade to pb1 first because in my experience I had to unlock again after the pb1 update anyways. I upgraded because the cm13 rom by hagg and he said he used pb1 in the OP. Now I wonder if it was at all necessary. But there's a way to do it if you're on KK or if you're already on lollipop.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] romyg:
If I'm already on bok3 lollipop boot loader/firmware, is there a way to update to pb1 bootloader/firmware without installing a new rom? The only instructions I've found in this thread are the instructions to upgrade from kit Kat, which involves full wipe and new rom install. I've found pb1 zips of the firmware, but they don't include the boatloader...
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] TioCareca:
I am on OG5 bootloader PB1 firmware, and all is fine, so i dont see the need to upgrade but what the brains in this thread as to advise?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] GeTex:
For the Sake of ease of remembering I believe the OE1+ bootloader is the same and everything under OE1 is the same

Lets refer to OE1+ as Newboot and below as Oldboot

Firmwares are a different story haha
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] twolostminds:
Everything with unlocking the bootloader went great but I can't seem to access TWRP after flashing 3.0.0.0-0 or 3.0.0.0-7 in Odin. I may be having a brain fart at the moment and might not be doing something correct. Any suggestions? Haven't had enough coffee to think clearly :/

[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] quantumalpha:
+1 for another successful unlock, TWRP, and hagg's CM13. did have a few "oh shiiii" moments involving being stuck at the bootsplash, but got around it all.

OpenGApps also caused some issues, but got it working eventually. Need to install immediately after flashing CM13, but before booting for the first time.

Again, not a process for the faint of heart. As everyone else has said, if you don't have enough brain cells to totally understand what it is that you're doing, then this unlock is NOT for you.

Stupid question, but you are pressing Vol Up + Home + Power, right? Up is recovery, Dn is Odin.

And you did use the tar.md5 version in Odin? The Zip won't work there.

I had to Odin TWRP 2.7 then upgrade to 3.0 via a sideload.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] TioCareca:
I installed the twrp zip with ff and its working great... I used odin just to root the stock rom, but never used it more...
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] GeTex:
fyi, if you need to confirm, using adb tools you can use rebooter and select recovery :)

Okay, I have SM-G900V that I rooted, unlocked the BL, PB1, and flashed TWRP through Odin. That said I am curious how SS w/Locked BL and TWRP w/Unlocked BL differs from one another and also is it or is it not safe to flash a custom ROM that states "do not flash on a Dev Ed device" since the BL was unlocked basically by using a Dev Ed device? Thanks in advance.

answers one of your questions
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] NotATreoFan:
ROMs that carry the warning you mention above contain files that would modify the bootloader. If this was done on a stock S5 from Verizon, no harm. But if you had the developer edition device from Samsung, you'd get locked down and be unable to unlock your bootloader.

Until those ROMs are updated, only flash ones that do not include firmware. For example, the CM13 Unofficial build for our device only includes the ROM itself and a kernel required for it to boot.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] stajam:
Thanky you for the reply. Am I right to assume that pretty well all custom ROMs out there for our specific device do not modify the BL and are pretty safe for flashing. Also if I did run into that problem, shouldn't I just be able to unlock it again and redo everything? Thanks.

SO I tried to get cute and update to a LL kernel from KK and soft bricked following JRKruse's kernel upgrade thread. I can get to download mode and recovery mode etc, but keep getting stuck on "Samsung Galaxy S5" "Powered by Android" screen. Is there a way to ODIN back to stock and start over? Or how do I recover from the ROM not loading, can you flash a ROM in ODIN (OD5 maybe?)
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] quantumalpha:
For different reasons, I also got stuck on the bootsplash. Use Odin to install a .tar.md5 version of TWRP (I used 2.7), then use TWRP to flash a newer TWRP (3.0.0.0) and a new rom. That got me out of the mud.

Or, you can use Odin to flash a fully stock rom back to the device. Plenty of guide around on how to do that.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] NotATreoFan:
Most will be safe, but always read over the thread to make sure there's no bootloader files included.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] ldeveraux:
That's what I did too. I flashed a pb1 tar, does that mean I can never downgrade my bootloader again ? Not sure why I would want to anyway...
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Droid_JD:
Out of curiosity, can you or someone else possibly explain to me (and anyone else who is interested) a little bit more about why this won't work on the S6? In all the teardown info I've seen on the VS6, it says that Samsung manufactured the eMMC/NAND. I don't doubt you. If you say this method will not work, I (unfortunately) trust that the method will not work.

Total shot in the dark, but I am "guessing" this will not work because of Samsung's UFS memory?

I'm just hanging onto any glimmer of hope that may exist for my S6.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] perfectswanson:
All this boot unlocking has to be done before everything gets patched. Took almost two years for the awesome ones got it. From what I see it wasn't all that different from the s4 unlock, so I think there's hope for other models.
