If anybody has trouble turning on advanced calling after moving from PB1 to PD1, this is how I got it to turn on. Some steps may be unnecessary.

1. Deactivate advanced calling on your account.

2. Reboot phone.

3. Activate advanced calling in settings menu.

4. Reboot phone. (should turn on at this point but it wont)

5. In adb run these commands.

adb shell
settings put system volte_feature_disabled 0

6. Reboot phone.

7. Turn on advanced calling in settings menu. It will tell you it is already enabled on your account. Button will become grayed out.

8. Turn on airplane mode.

9. Turn off bluetooth. Turn on bluetooth.

10. Turn off airplane mode. Wait a few and you will get a message saying that advanced calling is enabled.

I ended up with the wifi not working, capacitive buttons not working, etc... After so much messing around i was able to PB1, and then upgrade to PD1 using the Restore_PB1_Unlocked_Rooted.zip file here on the forums

I gave the phone back to my brother... he has indicated that native tethering isnt working.

Is there a PD1_Tether_adon zip file out there that can enable tethering only?

I really dont want to have to flash the muniz rom all over (has it enabled), and cause his phone to wipe etc etc.

If someone can just point me to instructions on how to enable that manually, or a file, that will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

I rooted on PB1, then unlocked bootloader, installed TWRP 3.0.2, upgraded to unlocked PD1 using the safestrap method. Now I have PD1 with unlocked bootloader.

I have question about recovery though. In flashify, it reads that I have twrp 2.7.1, which I think comes with safestrap. I rebooted into recovery, then it showed actually TWRP 3.0.2. I went to flashify again, and now it reads that I have stock recovery. Is it normal? Why flashify doesn't read that I have TWRP 3.0.2? Do I need to clean up some safestrap thing because I only want to use TWRP in the future?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] ldeveraux:
if you have twrp installed correctly, you don't need flashify. My 900V is unlocked with twrp installed, flashify says I have stock recovery installed. Who knows what's wrong, that's why I never use it. Do all your flashing in twrp or, if you have to, flashfire.

This past Sunday I upgraded to MM PD1 from KK NK2 and while everything works, the battery life has been really awful since the upgrade. Thought KK was ok, but expected with the newer software and DOZE, that battery life would improve. It is the opposite: massive drain that is 2x faster than with KK. I have cleared cache and DALVIK cache in TWRP and cache in MM. I have removed most of the bloatware via Titanium Backup and Disable Services. Battery life seems to be 3-5 hours and the phone almost always feels warm to hot to the touch. I have been running Battery Stats Plus for the past 2 days and am still waiting for it to give me some data.

Don't know what to do from here except either a factory reset in MM (but I started from a clean stock ROM) or downgrade somehow back to KK NK2. Is downgrading to KK even possible with my unlocked PD1 bootloader? I would be willing to try LP PB1 which I skipped over, but I know NK2 works fine so I want to know if I can even do that. I also made a Flashfire full backup of NK2 before upgrading, so can I somehow make use of that?

Any MM suggestions or any thoughts on whether PB1 will have better battery life for me or whether I can downgrade to NK2?

Thanks in advance!
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] dan5505:
PD1 seems to have great battery life for me. I'm currently at 12 hours unplugged and 75% battery. Maybe try wiping data, cache, and flash the super su beta.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] drewcu:
Thanks for the response and feedback on your experience with PD1. Gives me some hope for finding a solution with PD1. I flashed jrkruse's rooted stock PD1 ROM with Super SU installed, but you think flashing the beta again will help? Is that what you did or did the beta come pre-bundled in the ROM you used?

When you say wiping data, does that mean Internal Data also ? I wiped Data, System, and Cache in TWRP before flashing the PD1 ROM and have felt the phone running hot since the ROM install. I didn't wipe out the Internal Storage or the SD card and would rather not wipe when I don't have to. I would be willing to do a Factory Reset and have to deal with reinstalling apps, contacts, settings, etc if it means I can use PD1 with good battery life. But I don't want to spend all the time in restoration (getting it back to how it is set up now aside from the battery drain) if it results in the same poor battery life in the end.

Seems like the beta reinstall is the low hanging fruit here so I would try that first if you think that will help.

Thanks.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] dan5505:
No, flashing the beta supersu is required to keep root after you wipe data. Wiping data is the same as factory reset. I would backup all your files first. Also, this might not help you at all, its just an idea. I am no expert.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] drewcu:
What I was saying was that the beta supersu was already installed in the ROM I installed so I already was rooted in PD1. No extra flashing was necessary for me, but I tried to do it again in TWRP just in case. Pretty sure that because it was already installed, the zip file couldn't do anything additional and stopped doing its thing. No harm done and I still have 2.74 installed with root.

Guess I may end up doing the factory reset over the weekend to see if that helps. Hoping Battery Stats Plus finally starts giving me some data and insight and/or someone suggests something else to try within PD1 so I can avoid the reinstall hassle.

Thanks.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] dan5505:
I understand. I was just saying that if you decide to wipe data, you will need to reflash 2.74 beta since we are using the new systemless root method for marshmallow roms. Factory reset/data wipe will unroot your phone even if you had supersu installed. Here is a good article about it. http://www.howtogeek.com/249162/what-is-systemless-root-on-android-and-why-is-it-better/
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Bad Bimr:
Took a while but got everything to work. Used method 1. It did not take at first. I then uninstalled safestrap recovery and tried method 1 again, SUCCESS!!!

Should I re-install safestrap or just flash TWRP?

How do I get to PD1 from my current PB1 without loosing root and keeping the bootloader unlocked?

Thanks

BB
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] drewcu:
Gotcha, thank you. When you installed PD1, which method did you use? Which ROM did you use?

Learned today that Battery Stats Plus isn't compatible with MM, so I downloaded GSam Battery Monitor and it says so far 75% used by Apps including System and Kernel and 15% used by the Screen. The other 10% doesn't seem to be accounted for. Unfortunately it doesn't break down which System and Kernel services are consuming what, it just says those are the highest, and that percentages don't seem to add up here. I seem to be consuming 18-20% battery per hour with 5-5.5 hour life with minimal usage. Would you mind running this program (has separate root component) and letting me know how yours breaks down? Percentages might be the same with the only difference being how quickly mine is sucking down the battery which could possibly indicate a newly bad battery.

Thanks!
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] ecen92:
I had bad battery life, but this was due to two problems. 1 > the gas buddy app was causing my Bluetooth stack to constantly run. See https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=87778&q=gasbuddy&colspec=ID Status Priority Owner Summary Stars Reporter Opened for info. I removed app and just use their webpage 2 > google app had over 1000 wake locks and wasn't letting the phone sleep https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=207700 I froze the google app thru tibu and now I get two days of battery life up from roughly 9 hours
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] noamparn:
I don't have my phone handy at the moment, but I've been using GSam for several years, and the percentages confused me as well. From what I can tell, the numbers listed are the percentages of the amount of battery used since the threshold was reset (I think mine is set to do it since the last full charge, but there is an option to change that to show since the phone was unplugged instead).

I hope that helps.

In a related point, I had been using "Where's My Droid Power" for a number of years - I found it was really good at showing "real-time" battery usage (where I would use GSam for cumulative battery usage). Since upgrading to MM, however, it doesn't seem to work anymore. It is an older app, and hasn't been updated in years. I was hoping there was a good alternative, but I haven't found one yet.

Question

Hello,

I apologize if this has been answered already but I couldn't find what I was looking for...

I have a Verizon Galaxy S5 still running rooted stock kitkat. I'd like to unlock the bootloader and move to android 6.0. What would be the best way to accomplish this? From the original post, it appears its recommended to be on Marshmallow before unlocking? So would I ODIN to marshmallow, unlock bootloader, and then what? I'm looking for Stock 6.0.1 but I'm not opposed to loading a custom ROM if it gets me where I want to be.

Thanks in advance
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] al50:
If you want to run MM, yes it's best to be on a MM ROM. But if you want to just unlock the bootloader, you can proceed with the unlock method. Not all want to be on MM and I'm uncertain about this, but once you go to the MM bootloader(PD1) i believe you won't be able to get back to an older bootloader (NCG, OC4, OD5) to actually ODIN back to be officially on KK or LP....I've been meaning to ask of this, so maybe [MENTION=5414005]GeTex[/MENTION] or JrKruse can input on this question....
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] GeTex:
So far this appears to be correct, however you can Odin back to OE1 still, as far as I'm aware, only OD5 and below cannot be Odin back to.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] cowman4000:
Great information, thanks!

I'm assuming if I ODIN to stock PB1, root, unlock... It would be pointless to move to PD1 (android 6) right since I'm assuming it will overwrite my bootloader and I would be locked again? If this is the case, I'm better off loading a custom Android 6.0 Rom, correct?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] drewcu:
jrkruse's methods unlock your MM PD1 bootloader and result in being able to install a rooted MM on unlocked MM bootloader. Up to you if you want a custom 6.0 ROM. For me, I don't like major bugs like with CM13's Bluetooth sound bug that I don't know if it has been resolved, so I am sticking to a hopefully more stable TW 6.0 PD1. Unfortunately for me, I cannot figure out what in PD1 is draining my battery down to 5-6 hours. Now I kind of wish I had my KK NK2 with unlocked bootloader back. I don't know if I can get back to KK but on an LP bootloader somehow. Maybe eventually I will sort the MM battery issue out, we shall see.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] cowman4000:
Perfect,

Last question... if I choose to ODIN to stock 6.0.1, can I later ODIN back to MM to complete the bootloader unlock?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] GeTex:
•_•

Please tell me you aren't serious...
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] drewcu:
Thanks! I also had Gas Buddy and now have uninstalled it. Just to explore all options, I also froze Google App to see if that makes a difference. Battery life seems to have improved but not a huge amount. Maybe 1-2 extra hours so instead of 5 maybe I would get 6-7. Better than nothing but not what it should be given everyone else's experiences with MM.

Thanks for your suggestions -- keep them coming!

[MENTION=1949695]jrkruse[/MENTION] it's been a long time since I have been back here since moving to a note 4. I just got a S5 for a really good price and it's still on BPB1. If I'm correct in thinking, this version is still rootable and able to unlock the bootloader? I'm just trying to figure out if I should keep it on 5.0 and sell it or unlock it ( if it's possible ) then sell it. Opinions and options?

[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] J 3 M:
I'm outside of the U.S & this phone is the weirdest damn phone I've ever worked with. I've flashed a lot of roms so I'm not a total noob but can someone please explain how the hell an S5 can spend several hours rebooting itself & then finish up by reinstating it's own IMEI number?

I basically rooted this by flashing to BOK3 using Kingroot & safestrap method from you tube link. Basically so I could add some radio bands for better service. I Lost my IMEI & baseband twice in the process. Every time I flash different firmware this happens but for the past 2 nights I've left my phone in the drawer only to get up the next morning to find baseband & IMEI has returned! What is going on?

So I'm still trying to root from BOK3 or BPB1 & have as of this moment NO IMEI null/null & no baseband again :(

So could anyone please explain just how the heck this can happen? I'm happy to be on either LL or MM as long as I have network & root so can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong? Or how to get IMEI back manually Please? :good:
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Stupifier:
Just be sure to read everything while you are researching bootloader unlock. Currently, only specific S5 phones can unlock bootloader (it is based on your CID). The guides outline all of this.... Just read the First posts of the threads around here (they are updated frequently with the latest information).
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] drewcu:
So far nothing I have done to address my battery issues on MM has worked such as uninstalling Gas Buddy, disabling everything I don't use, and disabling the Google App.

The biggest battery suckers for me on MM (via GSam Battery Monitor) are Google Play Music and adsprpcd (which I believe is tied to Media Server/Storage). While I would expect GMusic to do this since I use my phone to listen to music a lot, I wouldn't expect battery life to be just 3-5 hours while listening over Bluetooth to music. But maybe that's reasonable on MM? Didn't drain this fast listening to music on KK, I know that much. I tried following steps to clear Media Storage cache which went fine, but didn't help battery life at all. (Just trying to pick off low hanging fruit before doing a factory reset and having to spend hours restoring my phone back to the way it is now save for the battery life issue.)

I am next thinking of formatting my SD card in MM as internal storage (last formatted it in KK) and being judicious about what I put on there. Maybe there are some corrupt files on there or possibly my actual Internal Storage that are causing Media Storage and Play Music to go nuts, I don't know. Anyone have any experience with this and and can shed some light on what might help? Maybe nothing will really help and I have to do a factory reset or maybe a different ROM like the debloated PD1 or something.

Thoughts?

Thanks!

Anything special going to be needed to unlock PF4 bootloader?

This may be music to my ears if it can be unlocked/rooted so that I can upgrade to hopefully fix my PD1 battery woes, rather than side-grade to PD1 again or downgrade to PB1.

Rooted PF4 is available now and I am currently running the debloated version found here (http://xdaforums.com/verizon-galaxy-s5/general/how-to-update-to-g900voe1-5-0-keeproot-t3149784) on the unlocked PD1 bootloader.

The debloated version doesn't have Verizon Voicemail which is the only VZ app I really use. Can someone do me a favor and upload the S5 Voicemail apk. Another apk I downloaded from XDA doesn't want to load my account info and it is probably not the right version to use. Or perhaps I need other VZ apps to get it to work with my account, I don't know.

Sorry if this posted twice. Thanks for all the hard work. I have two issues that may have been answered but I could not find them. Wifi does not come on and it does not see my sdcard. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Coheed196:
So im on rooted, unlocked PB1 and tring to get to rooted, ublocked MM. Ive followed the safestrap instructions in the 1st post using the Unlocked Rooted PD1 file and then I've tried following the instructions with Phoenix Rom. I can do everything (like go through the Aroma Installer with Phoenix) and such. Everything goes just fine until I reboot after flashing. Every single time I will get stuck on a boot logo (the red VZW screen if using the PD1 file, the Phoenix logo on Phoenix Rom.) Now, I know that the 1st boot can take some time, but I've waited on those screens for up to an hour. I've tried pulling the battery, wiping cache in TWRP, anything else you can think of, with the same results.

Luckily I made a backup in TWRP right after I unlocked the bootloader. So I've just been restoring it and trying again...and again....and again.

So can anybody tell me what I'm doing wrong? I've read every step so many times I've got them memorized and I'm not even exaggerating! Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks guys,

Hello everyone. First if all I want to ask if it possible for now go to 6.0.1 international stock? I currently reside on BOG5 with locked bootloader. I will place my view how it must be done downwards, please correct me.

1. I upgrade from OG5 to PB1.

Can I just upgrade bootloader on this step?

2. Unlocking bootloader

3. I follow OP post guide with rom I want (int stock in my case)

You can't go to stock rooted that easy, you need to first unlock the bootloader, then flash twrp, then upgrade to PD1 bootloader, unlock, then make sure twrp works, then flash stock root via twrp
