as in flash it from odin or like twrp?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] kilroy1stcav:
After you unlock bootloader from computer, install TWRP and then flash through that!
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] mjbram16:
Alright. I already installed twrp. Ill just try that.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] GeTex:
All you are so lucky, i have 2 11's. I bought another S5 to get another 11.... FML
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] kilroy1stcav:
Sorry bro, my S5 is just my gaming platform, my daily driver is the S6 128g, but if I get my S5 all flashed up, it might become my daily driver, I hate my S6!

We appreciate all the work you and the other devs did to get this working!
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] sm0k3y-TB:
I have the bootloader unlocked but I cannot get the custom recovery installed. Could it be because I am running the Note5 port that JKruse posted? The twrp recovery fails to load through ODIN every time.

Thanks guys, you did a good job! I just flashed Cyanogenmod 13 on my phone and its working great. Props to you guys. You are what makes this community great. I came from the apple scene with all the jailbreaking and while that was nice, android has been great too. The one thing I miss from apple was all the money I sunk into the apple store. Other than that though, It was fun watching you guys work through this and participating. You all just made a lot of people happy!

[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] GeTex:
Nice to hear success, making a few scripts with help, gonna post tomorrow. I'm done for now. Stressed.

Please don't create any sort of one click tool or host the binary (as you are already hosting it in the thread). If any issues arise, or bugs are fixed, there needs to be a single source where old binaries can be removed/updated. If there are copies being hosted in multiple places it creates big problems.

--beaups
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] jcase:
I have removed the rehosted binary. Please abide by the authors wishes, as a fellow exploit developer, by rehosting something so untested you are potentially opening a can of worms for the author.

If anyone sees this binary rehosted anywhere on XDA, please let me know.

When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not

also i'v seen tools vanish from the internet because there is no other source

[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] beaups:
Its a safety thing. With dangerous binaries like this, its better for everyone if there's a single place to download the binaries, and be assured they are using the latest/safest version. So, while I can't "require" that nobody rehosts any binaries (with the accompanying source and licensing information), I expect that people would understand why its a bad idea and do the right thing.

Not sure why that hurts your feelings or whatever. The tool is quite automated and shouldn't require any further scripting or packing. If a user can't adb push a binary and run it, they don't need to be unlocking their bootloader.

--beaups
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] GeTex:
Understood then.... Run once or twice, I want to update the OP then with proper instructions

And for peace of mind, would you yourself make a second location for avaliblity in the event something happens to github or your current git?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] beaups:
Twice. First run, the cid is changed (if it's not yet the expected dev cid), and the device powers down. Second run, if the cid change was successful, bootloader data is updated to unlock the device.

You might make a note (if you haven't already) that sd card is required.

thanks

--beaups
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] GeTex:
Updated, your tool also warns of such I saw

I now am going to try and get a 15 Device over my 11.

Thanks I guess.... and sorry...
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] beaups:
Good luck on the 15 device. I had a couple successes when buying research device having Craigslist people run that brick bug app first.

Nothing to be sorry about...
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] boiler662:
Once the conversion has taken place is it a good idea to set the SD card aside for potential future use?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] yossijoe:
So flashing kitkat dev aboot is now done automatically with the tool, correct ?

Or does it somehow patch the current bootloader ?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] N4styN1ghtm4r3:
So any AT&T users give this a shot yet. I'm so tempted to try it, but I haven't been able to bring myself to try it yet.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] beaups:
Existing bootloader is patched

Any SD card should work. I'd hang on to the card/data afterwards, just in case.

--beaups
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] N4styN1ghtm4r3:
[MENTION=711482]beaups[/MENTION] could you give me your opinion about using this on an AT&T phone?

I would very much appreciate it, thank you.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] ryanbg:
Can you confirm your Download Mode screen says "MODE: DEVELOPER". If it does not, please run the samsung_unlock binary again. Shoot me a PM if you need further assistance.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] N4styN1ghtm4r3:
I believe that the one click solution is dead for now.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] TioCareca:
It can happen...
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] thewebsiteisdown:
I just wanted to report my success here for everyone wondering about this whole thing.

I was on pb1 bs free and just did this.

I checked the bootloader and it says developer.

I'm still running the same rom and text, data, play store, Phone calls, everything, works. I will look into the cm rom now.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] al50:
I'm wondering if JrKruse would be able to do his magic and be able to do the MOAR, AllianceROM, PhoenixROM and other ROM's that he's worked on with the Aroma....just a question not a request:o:D
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] thewebsiteisdown:
Nope I left everything as it was and ran the tool as described in O.P..

Didn't do anything at all but run as described.

I was prompted to give super user permission to shell but other then that everything was as described.

I like how now the lock is gone from the boot screen! :victory:

He said he would be using aroma now because it makes his life easier.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] al50:
Yeah, I saw his post about that. Just didn't know if had those particular ROM's in mind. He may be developing something fresh of his own....
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] beaups:
Try it and see. I suspect it will work. The bootloaders get backed up to SD, so even if the device bricked (I doubt that would happen, I think just not being unlocked would be the worst case) you could recover the device. Let us know!

Are the people with Toshiba chips ever going to get a bl unlock? If not I'm gonna start saving my money for a 5x.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] i9192droid:
How can recover the device from a possible brick?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] beaups:
Device should autoboot the loaders from the sd card in event of a bootloader failure. After that the best/safest course is probably ODIN.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] talktosamson:
Successfully flashed TWRP and then CM13 122715, however voice and SMS are not working. LTE data is though.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Legitsu:
you likely need to configure the APN's then

I don't own a applicable S5 but what is the worst possible failure mode if say a CID write fails or somebody flashes a corrupt bootloader ? hardbrick ?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] tbclandot:
Sorry real silly question when it says min 4gb sd card does that mean an external micro sd card? because I have a 64 gb micro sd card in my s5 with important stuff and don't want to lose anything
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] ozz200127:
Great work for getting our s5s unlocked
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] thewebsiteisdown:
No he just didn't read the post from that thread for the rom he got that states you have to toggle airplane mode on then off and it starts working fine. I haven't flashed it yet to confirm but I saw that post and read it for sure...

I was able to just install twrp manager from the app store and get twrp recovery installed and working by the way for anyone wondering. I used the 3.0.0-0-klte.img version as well if curious.

Once installed twrp with this pb1 bs free rom that I am on and have been on, I can reboot to recovery and bam! I'm in twrp recovery.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Legitsu:
go figure ... so it begins

[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Bren123:
Of course with my luck I happen to have an 11 will I ever be able to unlock my bl is there a chance people with 11 can have a bootloader unlock to or no?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] talktosamson:
I've been reading EVERY SINGLE POST. I've been following this thread religiously. Toggling airplane mode was one of the first things I tried before even coming here to post.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] thewebsiteisdown:
I would post in the thread for the rom tbh man. The guy that responded to your post which is asking the same thing that you are also now asking in here stated.

I would work from there but, IMO the first thing I want to ask is did you install the PB1 modem in that post? I have not installed the rom yet but I was going to ask the poster of that thread for his oppinion on me being on pb1 already and if I should flash his based on that information or not.

I'm gonna stab and say maybe this is your underlying issue but again, I would ask in there.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] talktosamson:
You need to stop assuming other people don't know how to read and follow instructions.....

Yes I flashed the PB1 rom from that thread. Yes I toggled airplane mode. I'm currently resetting and trying again. I'll move my troubleshooting over there though.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] thewebsiteisdown:
I think you need to check your attitude. You're not even posting correctly. This thread isn't about that rom at all.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] koda1789:
Getting the same message.

In doing the following steps:

11. Source is /sys/block/mmcblk0/device/cid

12. Destination is cid.txt

After step 12 I get a message that:

/sys/block/mmcblk0/device/cid No such file directory found
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] ldeveraux:
I'm getting the feeling you didn't have Xposed installed though. I used Wanam Xposed module to remove the lock from the boot screen. So did you have Xposed prior to boot unlock?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] thewebsiteisdown:
I don't know. I looked and yes it is installed so my guess is that this rom pb1 bs free comes with it by default.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] ldeveraux:
I see no mention of Xposed baked into your ROM on that page. But you don't remember if you had installed it?? Either way, this is not convincing me that I don't have to worry about deactivating before boot unlock...
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] sm0k3y-TB:
Update: The rom I was on did not have the option to turn of "reactivation lock" (if it did, I couldn't find it) which in turn was blocking the install of TWRP. It's all good now, TWRP installed and ready as **** to start flashing!!

---------- Post added at 01:13 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:11 PM ----------

I figured it out. Thanks for the post!
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] ryanbg:
You'll lose all data on the MicroSD. Back it up and try, otherwise grab a different MicroSD.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] thewebsiteisdown:
My guess is that when I followed the directions on installing the rom. I followed the directions and installed it like he states to do right there above which is from the post for the rom I was on. Hope that helps.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] ldeveraux:
Ah OK thanks for that update. Still don't know if you have to disable it or not before flashing... :confused:
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Dudash:
I'm getting this as well.. will try to figure it out
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] tbclandot:
Oh alrighty then time to get a cheap 16 gb micro sd card and then unlock this bootloader yay.... want to install CM13 but I have Gear S smartwatch and that kind of requires touchwiz darn.... we need some Android M touchwiz based roms for the S5
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] en11gma:
i think everyone skipped my post on the previous page

i have the verizon note 3 (sm-n900v) on LP OF1

i also used the samsung_cid and changed my easily back and fourth from orig to a dev edition note 3.

i noticed after changing mine back and fourth a few times and then finally changing it back to original

i did a factory wipe from stock recovery then booted to odin mode

i then installed stock OF1 again but i get MULTILANGUAGE setup wizard

:)

i think changing the cid also does something with the CSC

idk.

maybe its just the note 3 but dont forget this is after i changed my cid back to my original NON-DEV note 3

USB debugging turned on? Turn off protect device from harmful whatever it's called in developer options as well??
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Bren123:
I have 11 is there any way to unlock the bootloader if I have 11
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] thewebsiteisdown:
Did SU prompt you for permissions to let the PC you're on have full rights? It took a second for that to happen with mine for some reason. I had to toggle usb debugging again if I remember correctly or maybe I rebooted then toggled it. Either way it didn't work right at first and prompt for permissions but once it did I was smooth sailing.

I'm on CM 13 now by the way and everything again, is working fine.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] al50:
It's been mentioned several times and it's in the OP. At this time, no you cannot
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Bren123:
Will it ever be possible
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] al50:
That I cannot answer. It's a different chip(Toshiba). They may still be looking into it for a way to access it....
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Bren123:
Ok thanks.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] thewebsiteisdown:
Use rootexplorer and see if you see the file there because you should. If you do it just sounds like adb isn't talking to your phone properly perhaps...

I also noticed that if I tried to run that program as administrator it wouldn't run correctly. I had to just click it and then it was able to launch adb shell etc..
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] alaneddy:
Special thanks!

[MENTION=535343]all[/MENTION] Dev's involved with making this, THANK YOU!

Method worked flawlessly. TWRP 2.8..5.0 also flashed flawlessly.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Ursader:
Hello,

I've been able to get my device to show Developer mode while in Download mode, but I've been getting auth errors from Odin when trying to install a custom recovery and I think it has to do with the Reactivation Lock being on. My problem is i'm using CVertigo1's BS_FREE PB1 rom and I have no way of adding my Samsung account to disable it. Ticking the box just causes Settings to FC.

Is there a command to do this, or an app - or am I stuck having to go back to a stock firmware?

TIA
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Dudash:
I got it to work by manually getting the file to the computer..

It wont let you copy/paste the file on your phone so I made a new one.

Open the cid file, copy the cid, create a new file on your sd card named "cid", edit it, paste the cid, save the file, then copy it to the adb directory on the computer, rename it to cid.txt.

After doing that it worked and I now have a dev edition with twrp :)
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] autonomousperson:
Restart by flashing back to stock. Turn off reactivation lock then.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] autonomousperson:
I will try and make a new script
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Dudash:
It would be nice if someone made an app that was a one-click method like beanstown's S3 root/unlock/recovery app.

If I knew how, I would.. sadly, my skills are quite limited when it comes to writing apps.

(link to his app)
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] autonomousperson:
Keep in mind that the devs here like Beaups are busy and the rest of us working on these tools (geTex and I) are not developers.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] ryanbg:
Download the .img version of TWRP or extract it from the tar.

adb push twrp-blah.img /sdcard/
adb shell
su
cd /sdcard/
dd if=twrp-blah.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/recovery
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Dudash:
I wasn't pointing fingers or making requests :P

I was just stating that it would be nice.

I know that you guys have been and are working hard. Trust me, the last thing I would do is request more work from you guys.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] GeTex:
Updateded the OP with new adb tools and also umm warned to DISABLE reactivation lock!

Furthermore, the reason none of you could pull CID was because I had a small error in adb tools, I updated it and it works as intended now. adding method 2 as we speak

also my warning still stands, unless someone else can confirm a class 10 micro sd is required for the backup bootloader to work. i remember testing a class 4 and it didn't boot but i swapped a class 10 in and instantly worked
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] GeTex:
DO NOT DO THIS!!!

Flash to jrkruses deodexed PB1 rom and disable reactivationlock. CVertigo removed the components for it from his om i believe
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] smtpher:
I'm getting stuck on step 12.

ADB Tools is saying it cannot stat as there is no such file or directory. I can confirm that the file exists in es explorer and browsing ADB Shell and confirmed the the samsung_unlock was successfully pushed.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] JFam5:
Somewhere in the aboot flash and TWRP flash it tripped my Knox. Oh well.... my warranty is gone any ways.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] autonomousperson:
Was just about to say that. Im going to make a sh script so it runs su commands and the samdunk thing on the phone itself. Should hopefully streamline a few things.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] GeTex:
As i just said, update adb tools, i had a uhhh.... typo
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Dudash:
If you did it right, there shouldn't be a knox counter.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] ryanbg:
I'm not familiar with reactivation lock, I know what it is, but does it prevent you from booting custom recovery?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] GeTex:
Reactivation lock when enabled should block you from flashing anything through odin as an anti theft measure. It's enabled in security settings. Default off
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] smtpher:
New adb.7z worked, thanks!
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] ryanbg:
But if I'm flashing it using DD and bypassing Odin altogether, what does it matter?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] GeTex:
As far as I'm aware that will cause issues if done via DD, i believe the partition is readonly with reactivation lock on so idk what will happen. It really sounds like a BAD idea....
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] GeTex:
It's highly useless to say its not working

what isn't working? It's not hard

Have you actually read the WHOLE OP?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] smtpher:
I had a bit of a scare in between steps 15 and 16 where some strange pink colors started to appear.

However, it worked and now I have a developer edition, kudos to you all for the hard work!
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] thewebsiteisdown:
I had noticed that behavior for awhile. I believe it was actually just a bug with the old boot loader.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] GeTex:
on what step... ur not helping?

updated the adb tools as i told you which fixed a glitch with pulling the cid
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] koda1789:
New version of adb tools worked, thank you!

A couple of things to note:

- When the phone rebooted both times I had to use the power button to get it to come back on again

- When I rebooted to bootloader it does say developer :) I had to pull the battery to get it to reboot from here
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] autonomousperson:

[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] autonomousperson:
Time for a new dev thread? I realised that what I said is exactly what Beaups said in his disclosure. We just need the vendor commands or for someone to find a way to make it think its in programming mode.
