[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] jrkruse:
Im going to say something that maybe will make people angry If your stuck with locked bootloader and have an 11 Toshiba Chip quit coming to this thread and hoping this will work for you nothing in this thread pertains to that type of phone, your phone cannot be unlocked rihgt now and probably not for a long time if ever. If some magical thing happens Im sure there will be A specific thread or this one will have big bold letters in the tiltle or something telling you your phone can no be unlocked . Everything in this thread is for people with Samsung 15 chip that can be unlocked.

On the other hand. There is no full proof method to unlock your MM bootloader. I have tried to come up with the easiest way to do it without having to use a computer. Most of the time it is going to work sometimes it will not. I dont know what people excpect they come here with bits and pieces of firmware from every build on their phones and then wonder why something fails to flash. If something fails and you have to start over. Start over by flashing the full PB1 firmware. Forget about all this tars without bootloaders and crap. If you dont want to update your bootloaders so you can go back to kitkat and your currently unlock then again there is no reason for you to be coming back to this thread. I have gotten PM that people are mad that they cant downgrade back to kitkat after using my method to get to MM. Well its pretty common knowledge that you have to have a MM bootloader to run TW MM roms

Now for the safetrap explanation. FlashFire works most of the time doing what I was trying to accomplish on updating Bootloader But Downgrading from MM unlocked bootloader back to Lollipop Unlocked bootloader it does not work because to flash bootloaders you have to have stock recovery and boot image flashed and if you have stock boot image flashed on MM rom then you have no root so Flashfire will not work without root. I chose to use Safetrap because once safestrap is installed on a rom it is there you can still bootback to it even if you dont have root unless you have wiped the system. Safetrap will also flash all the phone partitions as long as the Phone has stock recovery.img and boot.img

installed. So if you flash one of my PB1 or PD1 bootloader unlock zips and for some reason they fail and you find your self unrooted with no TWRP. You can simply use odin and flash stock recovery from the build you were on and a stock kitkat kernel and you can should be able to boot back to safestrap from here you could at least flash a PB1 stock rooted rom and flash PB1 firmware zip and you will be right back to a rooted PB1 rom. Of course your will be locked but from here you can proceed and try the unlock process which will probably work this time because your phone will be all stock again and without having to go through the reroot process. Once your bootloader is unlocked and TWRP is installed you can forget about safestrap until you want to upgrade or downgrade your unlocked bootloader. As I stated earlier post I will not give support to people still on kitkat or pre PB1 bootloaders. If your on OE1 or BOG5 or BOK3 there is no reason for you not to be on PB1. If your on Pre OE1 and dont want to upgrade then their is not much more that your phone can do

The first zip you flash in TWRP buts stock recovery and stock boot.img back on phone installs safestrap and allows the phone to be rebooted back to safestrap. Then you falsh the bootloader unlock zip in safestrap and if all goes well your phone will power off. At this point your bootloader should be unlocked and TWRP will be reinstalled. So you should be able to boot straight to TWRP and flash you rom. Your done with safestrap. Unless something fails which I explained in my rant above
