Hi, this may seem like a silly question and if so I apologize. I am running the original rooted android 4.4.2. I was wondering If I could jump right in and use method #1 from here or if I would have to upgrade to PB1, PD1, PF4, PG2, PJ2, PL1, or QA1 first.

I have Safestrap and the 15 eMMC.

Thanks :)

Explain what you did
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] tenye2003:
Did you even flashed a custom rom?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] omid.kurd:
no
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] robbyoconnor:
Did you read all instructions carefully? This is one thing you do NOT want to cowboy your way through.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] GeTex:
He won't even answer me so idk how to help him.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] robbyoconnor:
Well...RTFM isn't a bad response. Not doing so is not good...people need to know what they're doing. esp. with this process...where following directions to the letter is necessary
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] omid.kurd:
so sorry im busy

Did you read all instructions carefully? This is one thing you do NOT want to cowboy your way through.

YES
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] :
YEEEEEEEEEEEEEHAAAAAAAAAAAAAW. :cowboy:
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] robbyoconnor:
I'd recommend doing so...because you aren't reading the directions...don't install things until you understand what's happening.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Jhuseff:
Hi, I'm don't have much information about these things, but I know ( 15 initial number from eMMc) is required to unlock the bootloader and install the custom rom's, So the question is, if MI device don't have this initial number I can install Safestrap anyway? To flash another zip not Rom's?

"mi English is bad"

The light of the universe shine with you ... Thanks
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] al50:
Other than "somewhat" knowing that your device doesn't have the Samsung eMMC 15 chip and we're presumably assuming that you have a Verizon SM-900V S5. A little more info is needed....such as what OS you're on(KK, LP or MM). Anyways, you need to head to either the General Section or Android Development Section of this Verizon S5 forum and read up on how to ROOT your device. Because you have to do that before even thinking of UNLOCKING your Bootloader....which i believe it says that somewhere in the OP....root needed before unlock....?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Jhuseff:

[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] cap_11:
This is awesome news (I'm just revisiting the thread after more than a year)! Thank you to everyone involved.

So, I have this older G900V, running 4.4.4, CID 15. It's been rooted and SafeStrapped from two years ago. The Baseband/Build versions end in NI2. And I've read through the OP :)

I need to know how to proceed. Should I update to a more recent firmware/kernel, then unlock the bootloader using Methods 1 or 2?

Or am I good to go with Method 3. I am a unix/linux hack from way back, and comfortable with the command line. I have ADB working and verified I have root shell access.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] GeTex:
i suggest methods 1/2

no reason to be going back to 4.4.4 anymore really, or even 5.0 honestly
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] cap_11:
Thank you, that was super quick.

I will be going to one of the latest builds, and quickly :)

A better way of phrasing my question: is it safe & appropriate to do method 3, to save myself some time, in my particular instance? Then update everything to something modern like 6.0.1? Or is it highly recommended to update, before making the phone a Dev model?

Edit: After thinking about it a little more, I think I'll follow your advice, just to be safe. I'd hate to be the first to try such an old build, just to have it mess up the CID somehow. Thanks again.

You folks rock.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] GeTex:
it would still work, but you basically have to be a non dev edition to upgrade anyways
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] k2828:
hi

how do i do:

This is for users with 15' Sasmung eMMC's not users with 11 Toshiba eMMC's. You can check this by reading the file

/sys/block/mmcblk0/device/cid

does the phone need to be rooted so i can browser the system partition with a root explorer?

EDIT: run cat /sys/block/mmcblk0/device/cid in terminal emulator. no root needed. rediculous that this isnt in the OP
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] GeTex:
You are going to tell me what's ridiculous that is and isn't in the OP? That's a way to earn respect...

Any idea how I would go about converting the QD1 aboot to a Dev one? Jrkruse hasn't released/uploaded a bootloader update zip for it yet and the latest one he has uploaded is QC2. I always wondered how he unlocked the aboots in those zips.

I asked if he was going to release one in his Root, Unlock, etc thread but he didn't reply and that was forever ago.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] GeTex:
I'll contact jrkruse but afaik we are done updating the bootloaders for now but I'll check

[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] crazycranagelo:
someone should tell lighting force his video on how to unlock the bootloader is bad instructions and causes people's phones to become bricked I fallowed his video guide step by step and it causes the phone to get locked on the safe strap custom recovery screen plus the link in his deception to get all of the files don't match the one in the video and I'm not the only one who has committed on his video with problems with his video guide I have even left comments on there and sent him massages he has not reply ed and has not made a correct video on how to do this I hope someone has another video on how to do this the correct way
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] GeTex:
Follow the credible guide
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] crazycranagelo:
the cridible guide is to hard to understand not every one can understand it and video guides are better for some people boy how hard is that for some people to understand
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] GeTex:
hard enough to understand that not many agree with you at all.

This guide was developed originally and nearly every video "guide" is based off this

This isn't a one click easy process, it's confusing, thats the way it is. you have to understand the process in order to do it. You can't expect us all to cater to you because you haven't put thought into it. We've done alot of work, it's not our job to hold hands.

As to a video guide I don't know of any that are correct but I haven't looked. I'd like it if someone I trust could make a video

I'd do it but I do not wish to lock my S5 again and start from scratch.

Please don't quote the OP like that. Did you read the OP? Were you rooted? Do you even have a cid15 device?

Really? Of all of the help that [MENTION=5414005]GeTex[/MENTION], others and myself have help you and numerous of others and I cannot believe that you're still unable to ROOT & UNLOCK your BOOTLOADER.....I mean no offense and it's been about or over a year that you're unable to unlock your bootloader. With ALL of the information out there, different threads to do so and even VIDEOS that significantly show you how to do so, which by the way that's what you were agonizing for from the get go, it may be best to give it a rest.....I believe [MENTION=5414005]GeTex[/MENTION], myself and other's have helped you numerous of times to the fullest of helping you.....I honestly don't know what else or more to say....because the methods are easy as pie, no easy as tying a shoelace....I mean, what else do you want.....?!?! For someone to unlock it for you.....? I mean no disrespect in this message nor making any fun of you.....but from looking back, you're the only one that seems to not be able to get it unlocked....so read, read, read and read again thoroughly and don't make haste when doing the process.....sorry guys and gals for the long post....but darn it.....someone just needs to throw in the towel.....lol

could anyone please tell me how can i update the bootloader and still retain dev-aboot/ unlocked bootloader on the 900v please?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Amirk365:
Not sure u can with this model, I update the modem but the bootloader may cause trouble.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Bobcus Leper:
Uh... Follow and read the OP... The lasted unlocked bootloader is QA1. No one has made QF2 files yet.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] KazuDante:
so does that mean that the qf2 ccan stay unlocked as well, im still on bpb1 (something like that) , but i hope the qa1 works for this port rom . so if im on a 7.1.2 rom i have to shift down to 6.0.1 right ? or does safestrap work on 7.1.2 as well?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Bobcus Leper:
I'm running the QA1 bootloader with the QF2 modem on a 7.1.2 ROM without any issues.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] GeTex:
There currently is no QF2 files. I can ask [MENTION=1949695]jrkruse[/MENTION] but there is no real benefit to upgrading such

its running 4.1.2 and verizon hasnt released an update for it since.

i'm wondering if it would be possible to modify an n8020 (international LTE) bootloader and get it to work... i'm sure its been tried but i'm more curious than NEEDING to get it done... i have the thing running fine (though i had to root it with kingroot and its being particularly stubborn.. (no supersu me is not working)

the topic has gotten zero attention in 4 years haha... but i unlocked my gs5 bootloader with samsung_unlock and it worked great.. i'm just wondering what would could i possibly take from this thread and where would i start?

Probably start by learning how this unlock works and why it won't help you

TWRP_Prepare_Dev_Booloader_Update_SS_Installer.zip

EMMC_15_SafeStrap_QF2_6_0_1_MM_Bootloader_Unlock_AIO.zip

Copy both files to your phone

In TWRP Recovery flash the TWRP_Prepare_Dev_Booloader_Update_SS_Installer.zip

Reboot system

Watch your phones screen as soon as you see the Safestrap Splash Screen ckick recovery button on bottom left of screen

In SafeStrap Recovery choose mount and make sure mount system partition read-only is not checked.

Go back to the previous screen and select install

choose the EMMC_15_SafeStrap_QF2_6_0_1_MM_Bootloader_Unlock_AIO.zip

Click the swipe to comfirm blue flash box with the 3 arrows and swipe right to flash zip

Phone will power off when flash is done

Reboot back to TWRP Recovery by holding the pwr+volup+home button.

Once in TWRP Recovery I suggest reflashing your rom or you will at least have too reflash a root zip to reroot phone

Only if the bootloader is unlocked
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] KazuDante:
yes my bootloader is unlocked , im currently on a 7.1.2 rom , needed to update bootloader because a s8 port works with a qf2 or higher , but no access to a computer , so if i understand it correctly you said there is a twrp flashable of stock that will still keep my bootloader unlocked and that safestrap will let me flash a twrp img , correct? also where can i find the stock zip that i can flash it using twrp that is dev-friendly?

thank you so much for your help.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] GeTex:
you are going to mess ur phone up if you dont understand how this all works

you need to flash a stock samsung rom then flash a stock kernel and the stock recovery img.

when you upgrade bootloaders your bootloader will become relocked, you then will need to unlock your locked bootloader, which then you just flash a twrp image in safestrap or flashfire
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] KazuDante:
Thank you so much , thanks to this the SkiesRom S8 port works 100% for the 900v now , just has the dev stated, it does show that upgrading the bootloader has beneficial aspects to it , so its always best to keep everything up to date.

Sorry about the huge pics.. I tried html attributes with no success. Better than quoting 15 paragrapghs only to add a 'Thanks' at the bottom :)

I'm not a newb when it comes to this stuff and I've lost build prop data and tons of other stuff only to fight my way back to a stock ota image, flash, then reroot/aosp or whatever again. I haven't exactly searched, just read everyyyy every single thread I can/could find and it's either you're Samsung, or Toshiba. Not a word spoken about 'The Upside Down'. Cid Right when I got the phone was 15. As shown in first screenshot below.

I'm looking for insight into whether or not when my CID changed to 11 after first downgrade( kk .tar odin image) is that preventing the magic from happening? Magisk 14 wont even happen and i'm making tars out of random boot.img's, so I know what needs to be patched, but no.

I took screenshots of everything before. I don't have a backup of the original system, just the first boot into twrp that took place after full wipe of OG MM stock rom. Which is useless. I gave up on every getting samsung again, but 3 broken 6p screens in a close timeframe at 175$ a pop... well i'm taking a break.

I've got the furthest as far as OS builds go using odin to install some nougat rom after I unzipped and repacked as a tar taking indivudual files out to also tar them... It's just stupid... I'm not getting anywhere.

An hour after I got the phone. Verizon 'reset' it for previous owner.

[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Nightstalk3rs:
Firstly, thank you to all that have been involved with the unlocking of the S5 Bootloader. All the efforts here are greatly appreciated, and I'm glad that I can say that every phone I've owned has been able to be unlocked due to this :)

I am essentially looking to install LineageOS on my Galaxy S5, but before proceeding, I know that I will need to update the bootloader in order to prevent issues, such as wifi not working. Currently I am running an old version of PhoenixROM with an old unlocked bootloader (I believe it is PB1).

I see that there are instructions in the original post on how to upgrade, but I just came across jkruse's post that I've replied to above. I was wondering if all one needed to now is just follow these instructions, flashing our ROM of choice, such as LineageOS, as the last and final step? I'm hoping that it is this easy, but I am asking for advice in case I am incorrect.

Thank you to all in advance!

Gooooooooooooooooooood gravy. I downloaded "Samsung.cid" Sam dunk from git hub the first night I had issues. Guess I just didn't know what to do with it. I'm getting back on track slowly. I've been Arduino brainwashing myself I didn't even grasp it. I've flashed that zip like 10 times with no success but now looking into it makes perfect sense. Sorry for the lack of knowledge! :)

I'm confused about where I was supposed to find that... The EMMC_11or15 files? All methods on post #1 have been unsuccessful. Ehhh idk. I'm loosin it.

Can I flash the

If yes, after flashing, will my bootloader remain PD1 unlocked? Is it OK to have unlocked PD1 bootloader with DQI2 firmware?

Do I need to upgrade the unlocked bootloader from PD1 to a new unlocked bootloader?

If so, what is the newest unlocked bootloader? In the OP, I can see the latest one is QA1.

Will the TWRP and root be lost? And how I can get back TWRP? Using ODIN? If root is lost then can not use flashify to flash TWRP.

If using odin to flash TWRP, then I can just flash supersu zip in zip to get root back, right?

Thanks.
