I'm in a similar situation now. I had to use Method 2 to unlock the PB1 bootloader; so I am thinking that I need a similar zip for flashing to do that way again.
[MENTION=1949695]jrkruse[/MENTION] would simply renaming the MMBootloader_Unlocker_NoSD.apk and replacing the old apk in that zip work or is it more complicated than that?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] alphahere:
The new method with noSD worked perfectly for me. Took a while to boot up but all is good. Thanks!
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] farhanptcl1194:
worked fine for me Now on MM rooted.how to remove knox completely any zip or something

[MENTION=1949695]jrkruse[/MENTION] i follow your tutorial to update to MM bootloader unlocked, something went wrong as i am using the MM stock rom but my bootloader still bog5 unlocked, or i getting this wrong???
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] tbclandot:
Not jrkruse but I thought you need to be on a PB1 rom for this method
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] TioCareca:
I was, but i unlocked my bootloader at the very beggining so i was still on bog5 when unlocked, but i started this metod in a pb1 stock, but the bootloader never upgraded to me...

I will start over again...
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] bpham:
Just tried the process and the bootloader never updated for me either. However modem flashed okay and I'm on the PD1 baseband. Let me know if you are able to figure it out!
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] magic_man185:
How are you determining the bootloader you are on? Are you using the Samsung Phone Info app? I use that and I had an instance once before when I went from NCG to BOD5 it still said I had NCG bootloader, but I think it is just the data not updating properly. If you are on PD1 Marshmallow, your phone must be on the PD1 bootloader. A 6.0 ROM can't boot with a 5.0 bootloader.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] TioCareca:
So if samsung phone info is giving wrong info how do we verify our bootloader?

Maybe a 6.0 rom can boot in a 5.0 bootloader???
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] bpham:
Honestly towards the end of the process I got stuck at the Verizon boot screen for 25 minutes before giving up so I flashed CM13 back on it. Yes I'm using the Phone info samsung app and says i'm still on PB1 bootloader with PD1 baseband. AFAIK CM13 still boots on the lollipop bootloader so I guess I wouldn't really know unless I got the verizon image to boot.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] TioCareca:
I finish the process and got a stock MM rom running in my phone but phone info still says bog5 bootloader, i got no wifi and no touch buttons, maybe something fail???
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] tbclandot:
Just wanted to verify that the unlocker app that skips checking for the sd card works perfectly now running rooted bootloader unlocked s5 on MM thanks again to all the devs! Jrkruse I can't wait for some of your ports! The s7 edge port for the s5 looks like it would be sweet!
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] bpham:
Try to odin the factory Pb1 image from jrkruse and start the whole process over. When you odin the factory image the bootloader will update too. That's what I did when I wanted to upgrade to Pb1 bootloader. I'll probably try the same thing when I have some free time to do it.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] TioCareca:
Thats what i have done, but still no go, tried two times, maybe a third???
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] bpham:
You used this in odin?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] magic_man185:
I doubt a second time, let alone a third, will make a difference if the first time didn't. What is the name of the PB1 image you are flashing? If you made it on to MM and are going back to PB1 with Odin you will most likely need to do a wipe in recovery. Wipe data and cache, then try again.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] TioCareca:
I have used one i downloaded some time ago, but the name is the same...

I will try download that and start over...

And i have used bpb1 odex deodex v9 too, but in both cases i ended up in stock MM with bog5 bootloader unlocked...
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] magic_man185:
I could be wrong, but I don't think so. I think it happens during the update process. If you were to flash the correct bootloader, which would relock it, then run the unlock script (not the MM apk) which should work if you have root, then I think it should show up correctly. I haven't upgraded to MM yet, when I do I will see if I can replicate this issue.

I just talked to jrkruse, and he said that if your touch buttons light up as soon as your phone boots, during the first samsung screen, then you are not on the right bootloader. Please let me know if this is happening when you see the old bootloader in the phone info app.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] TioCareca:
So for some reason the bootloader don't update while i flashed? Maybe thats why wifi and touch buttons dont work?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] ilidy:
Hello, I'm kind of newbie here :) . Had the same problem with the bootloader that didn't update. Tried a couple of times but nothing. I have a MM bootloder unlocked and stock deodexed mm firmware now. Followed Jr kruse instructions but added even the mm firmware tar file after unlocking the bootloader and than flashed the muniz_ri G900V_PD1_Stock_Deodexed_Debloated_Rooted_ROM.zip (For "Unlocked" Bootloaders Only!).

Hope it helped.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] TioCareca:
Will try this...

My fourth time...:p

God dam Now i got MM bootloader locked... :crying:

Well now i got MM bootloader and LP firmware...
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] ilidy:
If you used the G900V_Firmware_MM.tar.md5 , maybe you can try the unlocker, run the twrp image from odin and than install - G900V_PD1_Stock_Deodexed_Debloated_Rooted_ROM.zip.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] :
maybe I'm oversimplifying but if we are already unlocked the bootloader on LP, can we just odin flash an image of an unlocked mm bootloader?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] magic_man185:
I am already investigating this possibility.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] TioCareca:
No twrp as i locked my bootloader again so it fails in odin, but is MM bootloader so is a point at my favor...
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] GeTex:
[MENTION=2844013]magic_man185[/MENTION] can you please PM me the most up to date instructions for MM or possibly link me your post, unless my OP is updated correctly, I can't remember anything right now

You can wipe the card using fdisk

I was on CM13, moved to TW 6.01 but now I can't format my SD Card as Internal Storage. Not sure if it's because I had set it up in CM13 as adoptable internal storage and now that I'm on another ROM it thinks that it's another phone and won't let me encrypt the SDCard? Anyone run into this problem?

UNLOCK MM BOOTLOADER AND UPGRADE TO MARSHMALLOW​

Thank you [MENTION=2844013]magic_man185[/MENTION] for modding the unlock script

This method should be pretty simple the only thing is that it uses safestrap to do the update. FF I found would fail about 30 percent of the time Safestrap seems pretty solid.

Required

An S5 Bootloader unlocked phone with TWRP and a 5.0 TW Lollipop Rom With Busybox installed Safestrap does not need to be installed it will be installed automatically.

Items needed

Safestrap_MM_Updater.zip

PD1_Bootloader_Unlock.zip

G900V_PD1_Stock_Odex_Rooted.zip

BETA-SuperSU-v2.74-2-20160519174328.zip Just In Case!

PD1_Firmware_Modem_HLOS_No_Aboot.tar.md5 Just In Case!

PD1_Boot_Recovery.zip Just In Case!

Copy these 3 files to your phones storage I would use Internal

Safestrap_MM_Updater.zip

PD1_Bootloader_Unlock.zip

G900V_PD1_Stock_Odex_Rooted.zip

Reboot to TWRP Recovery

Install Safestrap_MM_Updater.zip

Reboot Phone

Phone will reboot to enter Safetrap. I hope people remember how to do this! As phone is booting click the safestrap button on the lower left corner of phone when it apperars. If you miss this you will have to use odin and flash kitkat kernel and try again. The screen to enter safestrap only last 5 seconds Try to make it to safestrap the first time! This is the only time you will need to!

In Safestrap Flash PD1_Bootloader_Unlock.zip

Phone will power off

You now should be unlocked Reboot straight to TWRP recovery so it will stick Once in recovery you can do full wipe and install

G900V_PD1_Stock_Odex_Rooted.zip But I recommend rebooting phone and use samsung info app and make sure Bootloader Version=G900VVRU2DPD1 and same with Baseband Version. Once verified reboot back to TWRP and install Rom.

Rom Will Take like 15 minutes to bootup

If rom gets stuck try pulling battery. reboot to recovery wipe data and wipe cache install BETA-SuperSU-v2.74-2-20160519174328.zip and reboot and try again

If Still Dont work Try This

Reboot to recover and install PD1_Boot_Recovery.zip

Power Off Phone

Reboot To Bootloader and use odin uncheck auto reboot and flash in AP slot PD1_Firmware_Modem_HLOS_No_Aboot.tar.md5 Pull Battery

Reboot back to TWRP

Wipe System Wipe Cache Wipe Data

Install Rom again and hopefully it works this time
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] tydiamond11:

[MENTION=1949695]jrkruse[/MENTION] I am not sure what I am doing wrong. I unlocked my bootloader a long time ago so my bootloader version according to phone info is G900VVRU1ANI2. When I go into dev mode it says developer. When I run the tools in safestrap this version doesn't change. I re enter the PB1 ROM after safestrap and check the version. I cant get it to change to G900VVRU2DPD1 but my baseband version matches. I was on CM13 and switched by going to pb1 ROM. Followed the instructions and got 6.0.1 installed but my camera, wifi, and capacitive buttons didn't work(i am guessing bootloader related). Any advice on what I should try next?

Edit: Maybe the script that unlocks the MM bootloader looks to see if I have the PB1 bootloader. I will try upgrading to that.

Is possible to flash the muniz deodexed rom instead of the odex version you posted above?

[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] xmoox:
I can still boot to TWRP( I still have the updated version 3.0.x.x the bootloader unlock script added) and still have an unlocked bootloader(NI2) currently downgraded to PB1 rom and everything is running great. I still do have the MM 900VVZRU2DPD1 Baseband and it seems to work with PB1 PDA version G900VVRU2BPB1.

Yes, I've tried the process a couple times I will try again and see if I can get the bootloader to change.

Thanks. If it doesn't work I will try to upgrade to PB1 bootloader and then unlock that bootloader and then try MM bootloader unlock.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] GeTex:
To all those who didn't read, gonna add it to the OP but when the system status is set to custom instead of official, the bootlader becomes insecure with its self and its purpose in life so it write protects the partitions to allow it to become a demigod

so, unlocked a lollipop rom, flashed twrp and immediately updated to cm13. my 5ghz wifi isnt working, so i have to ask. do i have to flash back to tw and update to the marshmallow bootloader via safestrap? because the reboot to safestrap option in the lollipop safestrap wasn't working
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Wynnded:
You might benefit by asking in the CM threads.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] tooandrew:
mainly what i am asking is might the lollipop bootloader and modem affect wifi on a marshmallow rom?

I'm using a CM13 ROM on PB1 bootloader fine and only issues with Bluetooth are kernel related

CM 13 =\= Official MM
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Kaliaila:
Finally, got rooted MM with unlocked bootloader. I tried to do some things [MENTION=1949695]jrkruse[/MENTION] suggested,since I was stuck on the apk step on the old mm unlock process. But I ended up just going to his flashing custom roms to locked bootloader and installed his mm safestrap program and flashed the pb1 firmware with bootloader, then Odin flashed the pb1 kernel, so I still had root. Then I once again unlocked the PB1 bootloader and used the new method which worked great.

Now to find a fix for the screen not rotating.

So having Triangle Away has renewed worth aside from soothing one's ocd?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] GeTex:
Do not use trinagle away ever on the gs5!!!! You will brick your device 100% useless

Simply Fashing a stock system will disable write protect. Its purpose is to protect your bootloader from being overwritten and losing dev edition status
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Rakuu:
That is 100% a lie, used it yesterday changed me from custom to official, its mostly useless unless the "custom" padlock bothers you.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] GeTex:
I have my doubts, chain fire explicitly warned against it
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] jrkruse:
Triangle away works on S5 or it did on lollipop, but you are correct stock system is the way to go
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] GeTex:
My discussion with chain fire ended along the lines of "there's a very good chance it will brick the bootloader" if it works cool but its very risky
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] jrkruse:
Well thats enough reason for me never to use it again if the man that makes it says so then if you use it your playing with fire
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Kaliaila:
I have used triangle away on S5 since we got root on the s5. Works fine.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] GeTex:
Chainfire ended support a long time ago. I assume he hasn't checkout out the GS5 and if it will brick so he's assuming by "it's not written for the GS5"

By giving the cid and aboot you will have the phone to sell anyway so what you lose? Meanwhile why don't you sell the cid and aboot for a lower price?

No disrespect to any forum users here but i think we're going a little off topic on GeTex's thread and what his OP is about. But i would like to comment before we get back on track and cluttering up the OP's thread. Yes it's sad that a XDA member will not share the aboot and CID of his phone and trying to wager money for it. But what he doesn't realize whether or not he gives the info we are lacking, the phone will still have the same value because it's still an original Developer Edition no matter how you look at it. But if someone pays you 350 for the files then the sale price of the phone will be 200....:laugh:
