now i see there is a method to install a unlock dev bootloader. Its now possible to get this room on my P900v im on PB1 rooted with the safetraps method. if is possible anyone know how? or should i look for another 6.0 room?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] ridenickel9:
You can only use the device bootloader unlock if you have a CID15. If your on 11, Jkruses stock 6.0 without root is all that's possible.

I just did went to the 6.0 stock ROM and then about hardbricked my phone restoring. Had to use a debrick image form the hardbrick thread which saved me, loaded PB1 image and then rerooted.

I'm happy to be back to 5.0 rooted!
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] davyon:
I just checked de CID, and i found that it starts with 15'!!! So what should i do now? and if it safe? im looking to install a costum 6.0 room or Cyanogenmod.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] ridenickel9:
If you have CID 15 then perfect! Go have a read on the unlocking bootloader thread and read it entirely. After complete you should be able to install this ROM and many other ROMS for the DEV aboot including CM.

Good Luck!

Help!

ok so, Ive been trying to install this rom since yesterday and ive had no success..

jrkruse's original post states that my g900v should have pd1 and twrp. Here's my problem i just flashed the stock pd1 ( 6.0.1) version but its not rooted.

In order to get it rooted i have to go back to pb1 and in order to get twrp or any custom recovery i have to be rooted thus on pb1 and not pd1.

so, my question is: How can i be on pd1, have root access and twrp or philz or any recovery that works with this ROM?? Or, how can i get from stock pd1 to installing this ROM?

Im terribly sorry if this has been answered but im in desperate help..

P.S. when the phone boots i get the unlocked lock thingy that says 'custom' so i dont know if that remained there from previous installations or something else..

Thanks in advance
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] ridenickel9:
This ROM is for folks with the DEV edition or have CID15 and have unlocked there bootloaders to allow them to run TWRP. I am on CID11, hence cannot use this ROM, as I can only run safestap becuse my bootloader is locked. With a locked bootloader you cannot use TWRP.

What is your CID? Have you ever had TWRP? If no, you cannot use this rom. Sorry.

I had loaded Jkruses version of stock MM PD1, and yes it was not rooted. It required flashing the N12 kernal via odin to access safestrap.

Rooting a MM rom currently isnt possible, to obtain root you need to flash Jkruses PB1 firmware and then follow the 5.0 root thread. However, if you are on a true stock 6.0 MM with the PD1 bootloader I dont know if you can go back now... Be very CAREFUL and read up and know exactly what you have before flashing.

Hope this helps!
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] ginos.m:
My CID starts with 15 and yes, I have used TWRP before lolz.

So, i did this: I followed jrkruse's rooting guide for like the 20th time and then i followed this https://xdaforums.com/verizon-galaxy-s5/development/rd-unlocking-galaxys-s5-bootloader-t3337909

and unlocked the bootloader ( also checked, it is in fact unlocked). also flashed TWRP. Do I have to update anything that is mentioned in the thread so i can install the rom?? And can i flash those international patches after the phoenix ROM??
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] al50:
Just unlock your bootloader, install the PD1 DEODEXED ROM, or a newer one that may be posted, that's in the unlock thread. Once done, install this PhoenixROM v12
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] ginos.m:
you mean this SafeStrap_PD1_Bootloader_Unlock_AIO.zip and then the phoenix??
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] al50:
Once unlocked, i flashed the PD1 DEODEXED ROM but they've updated the OP with the latest OS with the PJ1 DEODEXED ROM here....https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=529152257862688467

So flash this in TWRP and then flash this PhoenixROM v12 and you should be good to go

Basically, as long as you're on any version of MM, you can install this ROM
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] ginos.m:
ok will try and keep you posted.. Thanks!

also im from greece and the international patch fro data for the 5.0 version did not work. Is there any patch for the phoenix rom or does the phoenix rom not need one?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] al50:
I honestly don't think so....as to this ROM was ported for this VZW S5......you may do a search throughout this thread and see if any users post anything and read what they post....
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] ginos.m:
I did exactly what you wrote and i got this error:

Failed to map file '/(file location)/'

Error installing zip file '/(file location)'/

what should i do?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] al50:
That's what you get from TWRP?

Try from scratch in the Unlock section....using the MM method....that or you had a bad download of the files.....did you check the MD5?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] ginos.m:
ill try from the beggining again;

start from jrkruse's post for rooting all the way to updating the bootloaders with all new downloaded files..
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Molinari:
Got an answer in another thread, I actually went directly (just flashing the rom) from this:

https://xdaforums.com/verizon-galaxy-s5/general/how-to-update-to-g900voe1-5-0-keeproot-t3149784

directly to the PJ2 version:

https://xdaforums.com/verizon-galaxy-s5/development/rd-unlocking-galaxys-s5-bootloader-t3337909

directly to phoenix 12.0, to phoenix 12.6 to phoenix 15...

The only slightly troubling thing may be that the baseband says PF4 and the build ends in PK1...

---------- Post added at 02:23 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:27 PM ----------

No sign of a PK1 modem so I went with a PJ2...
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] davyon:
i would call this rom perfect if it get the correct s5 fingerscanner working. Lets see if i can get use to not have it again...! but great room anyways!
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] al50:
Fingerprint will not work due to the build used in this ROM. If you want fingerprint, you'll have to step down to V11.....
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] ginos.m:
method that worked for me

OK, for anyone coming into this now, here's what worked for me:

1. my CID started with 15 so makw sure of that..

2. follow this thread here: https://xdaforums.com/verizon-galaxy-s5/general/root-method-og5-ok3-t3290370/

that means flash pb1 rom and then follow the batch file root method by jrkruse.

3. instead of flashing this VZW_BPB1_ODEX_DEODEX_V8.zip (in the end of jrkruse's rooting method) flash this VZW_BPB1_ODEX_DEODEX_V9.zip, this is how the next method youre going to follow starts:

https://xdaforums.com/verizon-galaxy-s5/development/rd-unlocking-galaxys-s5-bootloader-t3337909

4. there, youll follow the method 2 of unlocking bootloaders, and then before flashing this: SafeStrap_PD1_Bootloader_Unlock_AIO.zip in safestrap youll wanna flash the TWRP.zip file that is mentioned later in that thread.(dunno why tho)

5. after you unlock the bootloaders with method 2 you want to flash this: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=529152257862688467 and then proceed to update the bootloaders following the instructions in the same thread.

6. after you have updated the bootloaders ( flashing this in the end of course: SafeStrap_PJ2_Bootloader_Unlock_AIO.zip )

follow the last instructions (power off, in twrp data and system wipe) and proceed to flash the Phoenix ROM v12!!! (and then the update if you want)

.

.

.

TIP: copy all of the files that will be flashed (before starting) in TWRP or Safestrap before starting so you dont have to do it throughout the process..

Hope I helped!! :D

about the data problem.. i can only choose chinese regions for my sim card region.. wtf

also in status, it doesnt state my phone number but it does state my provider and signal strength..
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] davyon:
can i activate the activation lock? i currently running this rom.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] al50:
Why in the world would you want to do that...? Lol ....most ROM's made usually have that removed.....
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] davyon:
i live in a 3rd world country, phone theft are very popular... i at least want em to not be able to sell it normally in that case.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] davyon:
Well my phone got stolen today... so i would had appreciated if it was possible before that. oh the irony!
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] al50:
Damn, you've got to be kidding me.....?!?!....if you've signed into Google account then you may be able to track it down via your number and whatnot....sorry for hearing that but most Custom ROM's, the Dev will take that feature out....unless you are running a deodexed stock ROM.....again, sorry to hear of your unfortunate loss of the device....KARMA is a B!*#H....to those who do wrong.....

How in the world did it get stolen within 9-10 hours of your previous post....?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] davyon:
i know... its just ridiculous!! i got in a public car and it got either pocket picked or fell from my pocket, just image 6 people in the worst condition possible car you can image, "totally 3rd world problem". I realized 10 min after, i was almost getting in a bus to my city, I called and called, but it was turn off. I tried do the location thing with google and Samsung account with no success. I just called the carrier to disable the chip and move on. Very unfortunate, i was planing to stick 1 more year with it, specially after finally unlocking the boot-loader.

I guess ill just move on. And be more careful now on. Actually is the first time i lost a phone. The good thing is that the day before i backed up all my phone media, so it was empty. i didn't lost all this year photos!
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] al50:
Again, sorry that your device was lost or stolen. But glad that you were able to save all of your personal files prior....as mentioned, KARMA is a B@#*H and hopefully one day karma will get that thief back....if you get another VZW S5, don't hesitate to ask for help.....sorry for the loss but I guess we need to get back on topic.....:o

Any Guide to Install Phoenix Rom on a G900V?

I want to install this rom "PhoeniX.ROM.V12.VZW.Marshmallow.G900V-V2.zip"

on my phone, I read a lot of pages and I never can´t make it work 7 times so far, then my phone doesn´t boot up and I have to start from scratch.

Now I´m running Cyanogenmode 13. I really want to put Phoenix Rom on my device.

Actually my phone is rooted and with the bootloader unlocked.

Is there or have anyone a guide or steps to install it?

Thanks
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Iskeeetwo:
Are you on pd1 bootloader?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] SebasBici:
No, I´m on PB1 bootloader.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] al50:
You need to be on PD1(MM) for this ROM to work.....
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Iskeeetwo:
Here is a good guide to help you.

https://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=3481826

You can be on a higher bootloader. Do this method then do the Phoenix Rom
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] al50:
You need to be on PD1(MM) for this ROM to work.....

Also, if you're on a CM/ASOP ROM, you'll need to do a full complete wipe in TWRP before installing this ROM....reason is to get everything that may be left over from those types of ROM's because a standard wipe may not. In TWRP, go to wipe/Advance Wipe and select all but external storage. Once done press Home and then Install and install the ROM.

BTW, somewhere it states that you need to be on MM...the OP says PB1 but i think it may be incorrect because people have posted having to be on MM....but I may be wrong.....

Yep, you MUST BE ON PD1

Thanks alot for the help did as you said and I get stuck on boot and aroma doesn't install my phone is Verizon don't know if that matters .I lost my recovery but found another guide of yours and I'm back up and running on q1 .I installed your newest stock Verizon rooted and all is working but still can't flash this ROM .I want to say thanks for all your help and guides .I'll dig more over weekend .screenshot is what I get when I flash this ROM but rooted Verizon runs smooth

You flashed this TWRP_Prepare_For_Dev_Booloader_Update.zip and rebooted the phone then was able to enter safestrap correct? Then in Safestrap You flashed SafeStrap_QA1_Bootloader_Unlock_AIO_V2.zip and the phone powered off correct? If so Power off phone reboot to Download mode (Pwr+VolDwn+Home) Use odin uncheck auto reboot in options and flash this Twrp3.0.2.2 then pull battery and reboot to TWRP(Pwr+VolUP+Home)

and see if aroma installer will now work

Dude you are awesome.

But now I am stuck again.

Downloaded Dev Friendly QB2. Restarted and let it go through first boot to the point where I can choose language.

Then reboot and Odin'd TWRP 3.0.0 and it failed. Tried to Odin 3.0.2-2 and that failed too.

Oh and - now my download page on the S5 says

Current Binary: Samsung Official

System Status : Official (used to say custom)

But I am betting that is what it should say right now.

Anyway - I hate buggin' ya but just want to make sure I get this right.

Ok - so I did not flash your VZW_6.0.1_International_Rom_Patch_S7_Ports_V2.zip or FixSideSwipeLauncher.zip Will I need to flash either of those?

Also - I didn't get an option to swap my 32GB SD card for internal memory. Is that something I can or should still try to do?

TWRP 3.0.2-2 didn't see my SD card during flash which was annoying. Thinking that might have something to do with it? Anyway - I used my OTG cable and a thumb drive and TWRP mounted that and all went well.

This ROM is sweet!

But before I get to far along - just thinking about TWRP and adoptive storage.

Wait - does this ROM allow adoptive storage? Or just storage swap?

If I choose to chase this down and start all over - can I save a little reinstall time if I:

Odin TWRP 3.0.0 to my phone

Boot into TWRP and make a backup of my Data only?

Use Titanium backup and make an update.zip?

Then in TWRP - wipe, flash and walk through aroma

Allow phone to reboot fully.

Reboot in TWRP and restore DATA in twrp?

OR

Flash my titanium update.zip in TWRP?

What is the best trick these days to saving some time and is it wise/worth it.

Thanks so much again.

Odin'n TWRP 3.0.0 won't touch your ROM or mess with any of your files.....

You don't want to restore Apps/data from any previous ROM's or OS as you may/will get FCs.....
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] wantpizza:
Ok - thanks for the reminder. But I meant Titanium Backups from my current install of PhoeniX 15. Anyway - I did Titanium Backup of all my apps. Odin'd TWRP 3.0.0-0 and then reinstalled PhoeniX etc. and:

TWRP successfully saw my SD card

During install - I still didn't see any way to swap internal storage with sd card. I didn't see any way to adopt the SD card either. Not deal breakers but something I was looking for. If there is something I missed - any hint is appreciated - especially the adopted storage tweak.

I have restored many of my apps with Titanium Backup. Most have no issues so far. I did not flash an update.zip made by Titanium Backups - just ran the backup after rom install and startup.

Overall SWEET ROM and 1000x karma points to Jkruse for hand holding me through my (stupidity) install.
