[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] taysandman:
Thanks for all this work on bootloader.

It's been a while.

Running into glitch...maybe I am misunderstanding something. Running 4.4.4 I went with advice to upgrade bootloader to PB1 (using the provided instructions) with the intention of restoring back to my existing NI2 rom. (Don't want to set everything up then do it again for upcoming 6.0, skip 5.0) Everything appeared to be going smoothly until I went to restore data on the recovered NI2 rom. I am not able to transfer any files to either sdcard or extsdcard from my win7. Times out / explorer.exe crash. I can read both partitions from Win7. Es file explorer is not displaying my data partition files. But myfiles app does. Not sure what's causing this behavior. Another odd thing is following restore the Samsung re-activation lock is enabled. It wasn't prior to doing bootloader unlock. If I attempt to disable it the settings menu crashes. Won't turn off. Under download mode: Re-activation lock is off.

I should be able to run this config right? Unlocked PB1 bootloader + NI2 ROM.

In Summary. I unlocked bootloader NI2. Installed TWRP. Ran backup.

Followed PB1 update guide successfully. Unlocked bootloader again. Installed flashfire. Installed TWRP 3. Recovered NI2 backup rom: boot, system, data.

One thing I didn't realize is I made the TWRP backup prior to uninstalling Safestrap...could this be causing trouble? I've also tried disabling all my Xposed stuff.

Any ideas?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] taysandman:
Repeated process. Same result. Tried completely uninstalling xposed from restored NI2 ROM on PB1 bootloader. Android then booted to black screen and continuous apps error. Never see homescreen.

Gave up...went route of installing the non bloat deodexed PB1 ROM. Phone behaving as it should.

Thanks again.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] al50:
If you're running a KK ROM, i believe you need to be running KK firmware. Also, it's not best to restore data from prior ROM's because the data may conflict and may have FC's. Someone correct me if I'm wrong....

What are the chances of this ever working on the at&t model?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] GeTex:
Never
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Rakuu:
Not never,but it's extremely unlikely. For what it's worth it'd probably be easier to brute force this than the bootloader key, but even then...
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] GeTex:
No, the question was about using this method on AT&T, the AT&T devices don't have a dev device to change the aboot to. This method would never work... Unless someone here wants to yolo and have their at&t about become a Verizon about :P
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Rakuu:
We just don't know the dev CID yes? So theoretically you could brute force it if you ran through every enumeration of the CID, it would take forever and probably end up bricking you, theoretically possible though, just as how we could brute force unlocking the bootloader, this is just marginally easier.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] GeTex:
No, there is no Dev Device for AT&T, therefore there is no DEV CID...
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Rakuu:
Has this been proven other than because no one has it? They could have a dev device of sorts in the factory ¯\_(?)_/¯
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] GeTex:
we don't have a source aboot either to prove such. They very likely do not have such a device in the factory that relied on a CID verified bootloader.

TWRP Recovery issues

Hello Guys,

I have rooted and unlocked my Verizon galaxy S5 bootloader using methods describe in this thread. Thanks for all the hard work who contributed!

I have an issue that I am dealing with at this moment. After bootloader unlock, I tried to install CM13 and other roms but everytime my phone get stuck on the logo and I noticed a seandroid enforcing error on boot. I flashed rooted stock rom (BOG5) back to my phone using odin and my phone is currently working fine. Whenever I boot my phone in to recovery, I see seandroid enforcing error but my phone goes in to recovery without any problem. I would like to flash marshmallow rom on my phone but like to know how to resolve seandroid enforcing error. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] TioCareca:
If you use recovery and/or modified kernel that error will always be there, no solution but no problem is only a information...

As for cm not booting, you maybe doing something wrong...

what recoverydo you use? do you do the wipes?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] khan78:
I am using TWRP 3.0.2-1-klte recovery. Yes, I did usual wipes before flashing. I actually followed the method describe in CM installation guide for marshmallow.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] TioCareca:
Strange, it is supose to work...

This method is near idiot proof, if you can't figure it out and don't even understand this than I really doubt you should unlock your bootloader. I can see "I bricked it flashing a sprint ROM" post or something.... Seriously, its not hard. Download the apk, install, run it twice.... Power down after each time its ran... Then ur done....
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] al50:
As GeTex mentioned it's idot proof but here's a link to a post, that's in this THREAD, that a member had posted of a tutorial he wrote up that's even more idiot proof....:p

Aww Darn. I have an 11 emmc. Was looking forward to this.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] jimmyUT:
When I go to sys/block there are no folders under there and mmcblkO is just a file that says no program can read.

Rooted on stock ok3 and using root broweser

Am I missing something here? Is there some other way I can find my emmc
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Outbreak444:
When I go into /sys/block/ every folder looks like how a shortcut would look on a Windows PC (a little folder with a small arrow) but when I check the directory it appears that it isn't a shortcut. I checked to see if they were in a hidden directory but that's not the case. I'm on OE1 using ES File Explorer. Maybe give that program a try. Just make sure to give ES root access and you should be fine.

go to Play store and download emmc brickbug check. Just run that and it will show you a 15 or 11.

No, not yet. And based on Verizon's usual timeline, if everyone else is getting it around this time Verizon should release theirs around November.

Could someone just slight better explain this procedure to me?

I'm currently rooted on OK3 (which is Lollipop) with the OA8 bootloader (also Lollipop). I also have Flashfire installed.

I have some questions and I'm hoping for clarification please. I know [MENTION=1949695]jrkruse[/MENTION] is busy, so I'm hoping someone else can chime in and answer some question for me.

1) Based on my current setup, I'm on Lollipop, but I DOneed to update my firmware, correct?

2) If so, I should flash Kernel_Recovery in Odin on my phone, and this will NOT wipe or erase anything currently on my phone?

I'm really trying to be clear when it comes to the instructions above.

3) Once I flash Kernel_Recovery in Odin, making sure it does not reboot. I will pull the battery (power off state). Boot to the stock recovery and wipe the CACHE. Do I wipe DALVIK as well?

Here's where I'm getting confused

The instructions above says to reboot to bootloader mode and flash whatever I want to flash. ???

4) Should I be restarting the phone and then flash the 1-click SamsungUnlockerS5.apk?

5) Then I should reboot to bootloader mode and verify that I'm in DEV mode?

6) Then, should I start the phone normally and remove the spare "Bootloader CID" SD Card and reinsert my "regular/daily use" SD Card with the TWRP zip on it.

6) Lastly, I should flash the TWRP_3.0.0-0-klte-klte.zip in Flashfire?

Am I right here so far?

If I'm not, could someone please clarify what steps I'm missing or if I'm wrong.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] al50:
If you're on PB1 go to the link below. If not, install Jrkruse's PB1 ROM with No Bootloader and then go to the link below to unlock the bootloader. You have to completly powerdown your phone when doing this and i believe you run the app twice. I did mine via terminal emulator and had to run it twice and it worked....

[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] GeTex:
Convinced no usually
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] ymDroid:
Listen, just because someone needs step by step directions, or needs clarification, it doesn't mean they didn't read the thread.

I'm more surprised there aren't more folks like [MENTION=5209970]al50[/MENTION] who want to help. We should be helping each other out and answering questions. Isn't that what the forums are for? To help each other and spread the knowledge and take us to the point where we don't have to wait two years to find a hack that we should have had since day one.

I'm a member of an automotive forum, been in mechanics for decades. I post processes and procedures all the time and I have guys ask questions multiple times that were already explained. I just understand that different people learn and comprehend different ways, so I doesn't bother me to answer the same questions different ways.

That's just me.

It doesn't mean these guys aren't reading. Well...some aren't. But to assume that all the guys that are asking dumb questions just aren't reading isn't right.

Personally, I'd rather someone ask, than they brick their phone. Always said there's no such thing as a dumb question.

Last thing Verizon needs is another way to nickel and dime us into spending more money.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Surge1223:
Nope, I think I posted like one of the first ten posts or so, then I peaced out before the inevitable storm of questions.

Asked beaups a few things then peaced out.

I'm honestly curious why people revisit guide threads and then yell at people for double posting. I'm not sure what's worse, visiting a thread you no longer have use for to yell at people asking questions, or asking questions that you will know you will get trolled for asking.

No this is for people that already unlocked their bootloader If you can't unlock your bootloader then there will be no root method because you need to flash custom kernels to obtain root

Just testing things now I will let you know you can downgrade back to PB1
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] tbclandot:
Jrkruse since root is possible on MM with unlocked bootloader does that mean the ports such as the s7 edge port for the s5 should work then?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] GeTex:
[MENTION=1949695]jrkruse[/MENTION] my worry is remember when lollipop was first launched? You could still downgrade, it was upon the release of OE1 they changed QFUSE, so my worry is they might do it again say 6 months down the road?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] tbclandot:
They probably won't update this device much more anyways is my guess considering that MM will probably be the last update apart from what the rare security patch?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Bren123:
[MENTION=1949695]jrkruse[/MENTION] so you can downgrade back to pb1 if you take the ota
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] al50:
He just posted above that he was testing and that he'd inform everyone...smh..lol
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] GeTex:

[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] jrkruse:
The buttons won't work right. I never had trouble reading the SD card. Are you on Pb1 firmware before you tried this. I did not use the card that was formatted the first time I unlocked I used a new card. I think it was a 2 gig card I had pulled out of an old phone
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] tbclandot:
no I need to buy another sd card if I already unlocked the bootloader once with that card? darn it maybe that could be one of the problems who knows though but this process does seem a tad buggy about to start all the way from the very beginning again and will let you know

---------- Post added at 03:42 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:41 PM ----------

oh and yes I was on the pb1 firmware but I did flash from RR but I did a whole wipe and everything who knows CM based roms and TW don't get along lol
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] jrkruse:
The WiFi and back and recents buttons won't work but all you need to do is get bootloader unlocked and run flashfire to flash the pd1 rom wich can be done just be patient. the things will work again once MM rom is installed
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] tbclandot:
Ok thanks for your help like I said I'm starting from the very beginning again but can you just confirm one simple thing for me again please as I'm a tad confused if I have already use an sd card once to unlock the bootloader do I have to buy another one or I can format in Android and it should be good to go again?

---------- Post added at 03:53 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:51 PM ----------

oh and jkruse do you think you devs will ever come up with a method to root stock VZW MM or it can't be done and must be done from Lollipop?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] drewcu:
Ok, won't risk it and will use the Stock PD1 (unless someone else tells me it's safe) even though it would be nice to be debloated.

One more question on the subject: how is the ROM rooted via your method when the description in the link you provided says "Unrooted Stock ROM"? Is it rooted because we are coming from a PB1 rooted ROM?

It Worked for me.

:D:)Thks [MENTION=1949695]jrkruse[/MENTION] I'm on MM and rooted with unlocked bootloader. Ran into a few bumps. It oK to flash the deodex/debloated version. Because it worked for me. You need two SD cards to finish this process and once ur done u will need to repartition the SD cards using a free software. Just search "Mini tool Partition"

I did all the steps but I wanted the deodex/debloated version of the MM stock when I flashed it flash fire and then I flashed the superuser.zip my phone was bricked. So I thought I was doomed. LOL. But it turned out I wasnt. I flash the twrp recovery using Odin and then I flashed the deodex/debloated MM using twrp then after I flashed the superuser.zip and rebooted. The phone took about 5-10 mins to reboot and bammmmmmmmm MM with root and unlocked bootloader.
