I am on an unlocked bootloader and I'm also on pb1 and running cm13. Is there a way for me to upgrade my modern to pf4 with a flashable zip?

It seems like there is a way to upgrade my bootloader now as well from what I've pieced together information wise through reading the forums is that true am I reading into this correctly?

Here's the newest ROM modems separate for people wondering if needed. They're flashable in safe strap and twrp.

Also though ignored so far, [MENTION=1949695]jrkruse[/MENTION] does the pf4 ROM have a newer bootloader that would benefit newer mm ROMs?

Thanks.

Installed with no problem fallowing the directions from the other post using the safestrap on lock bootloader. This << naked>> rom is slim and fast and feels better then stock , even is a same rom . Good job [MENTION=1949695]jrkruse[/MENTION] .

Just a clarification for a people having a hard time installing this , use the instruction from http://xdaforums.com/verizon-galaxy-s5/general/how-to-flash-custom-6-0-1-roms-locked-t3393943 and just replace the rom from instructions with the rom from Here ! And the main found : This is working if you are on root lollipop rom like PB1 ( i came direct from stang5litre )with a lock bootloader ! ( You don't need to be on pd1 firmware at start to run this ) .

Hey [MENTION=1949695]jrkruse[/MENTION] I love all your work and the effort for supporting the G900V, I ve tried some of your roms and they work flawlessly, actually I’m on PB1 deodexed with locked bootloader.

Will this rom work with Xposed ?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] mastertech007:
Yes, but you have to use the one for TouchWiz.

I will try to get you link after while if you need it.

[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] alin919:
No , not in your case , for a people with looked bootloaders , this rom is a stock non rooted rom , so xposed is working just on rooted rom with unlock bootloader !
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] mastertech007:
The OP states "rooted".

Install FF or SS, and get Xposed...

But, I could be wrong.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] alin919:
His case is like mine. Our bootloader is locked so we can not have Root Mm rom just debloated stock rom so no xposed wil ever work on our phones . Your case is different because Unlock bootloader. .....not everyone is lucky like you.

Choose one of the roms for unlocked bootloader. Save to microSD, make backup in twrp to microSD, wipe everything, except microSD, then flash pf4 rom.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] arl16:
I'm currently using Optimal Rom 5-5 on OG5, rooted, but locked bootloader. I'm thinking about taking the leap to MM, unlocking and updating to PF4, and going with jrkruse's BS Free MM 6.0.1.

My biggest question is, how slim is the ROM size-wise? I've liked Optimal Rom, but I keep running into in the insufficient storage problem. All pictures, music and downloads have been moved to my SD card, and I move as many apps to SD as it will allow, but of course, every time they are updated, they get moved back to the device storage. Constantly moving them back to the SD card is ridiculous, and even so, I still end up with 9GB of Applications, almost 6GB of Misc files, and usually less than 500MB of available space, causing updates to get blocked among other issues. My understanding is that MM allows apps to stay on the SD card, even when updating - true?

So, how much space is taken by default apps and misc files, and how much available space is there after install? Thanks in advance, and thanks jrkruse!
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] PartyDroid:
I am currently using this rom and love the bootanimation and how quick it starts up you can almost count to 15 sec b4 it is completely loaded there is about 15 apps that i think that came with the rom and my battery life has jumped from one day to 4 days uses on this rom. I hope this helps
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] jwcgator:
When I try to install this rom, it gets stalled at the bootloader and never boots. I'm pretty new to this, I just rooted and unlocked the bootloader on my S5. I enjoyed Cm13 but im having some issues, that's when I tried flashing this
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] mastertech007:
Double check and confirm that your bootloader and baseband are at pd1.

What does your storage look like? How many Gigs of Apps, Misc Files, & Available Space?

Curious, are other's getting the "kernel is not seandroid enforcing" message at the samsung splash screen? I'm able to boot into PF4 just fine but wondering if maybe I don't have the right kernel/firmware. Thanks!
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] BlueLaguna88:
ive had so many problems flashing MM, i try flashing a debloated deodexed rom, first time i was in a boot loop and lost TWRP, this time it successfully booted but i no longer had TWRP and lost the ability to use private mode. please tell me this one has no problems :[ i really want MM
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] thewebsiteisdown:
I went through this the other day and would like to explain how it worked for me. I was not able to get jrkruse 's rom to boot period after wiping everything and coming from cm13. I was able to get a pf4 root deodexed rom stock for bootloader unlocked rom to work by flashing it through twrp but, I also lost twrp. All I had to do to get it back though was download the twrp tool from the play store along with busybox first, and then I was right back into twrp. From there I had to do a factory reset through twrp in order to get cm13 to install and then I was right back onto cm13. I did this for the gps fix by the way if you're wondering. I am now on the pf4 bootloader unlocked and the pf4 firmware / modem.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] BlueLaguna88:
[MENTION=1949695]jrkruse[/MENTION] i am having so much trouble getting to MM, i really like how slim this ROM is. I am on TW PB1 ROM Rooted and Unlocked Bootloader. I've tried a few ways that i have been pointed towards but every time I tried there has always been a problem; stuck in Bootloop, Private Mode not working because possible Knox Trip, etc. Now from my understanding from reading all 7 pages of this thread is that i need to be on PD1 or PF4 firmware. How do i obtain these firmwares? looks like i can't leap directly to PF4 from PB1 so can you point me to a PD1 firmware and/or anything else i need to flash/install in order to make the next leap from PD1 to this PF4 ROM? Please and Thank you. i really appreciate it.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] kisk9:
[MENTION=5020801]BlueLaguna88[/MENTION] I went from [MENTION=1949695]jrkruse[/MENTION] 's PB1 debloated (here) rom to this one. It took me bricking a few times before I actually got it in. Love this rom so far.. super fast boot and almost no bloat.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] BlueLaguna88:
Ok, can you please tell me what you did? I followed both the rooting and boot loader unlocking to T and really want this ROM. Do all the features work? My private mode kept failing in the Last MM ROM I jumped to. I really appreciate it
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] BlueLaguna88:
were you on a locked or unlocked bootloader when you flashed the ROM you linked?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] kisk9:
I was on an unlocked bootloader, but I went ahead and DEV'd my bootloader....

Not sure about private mode as I don't use it but everything else I've tried works. BT, wifi, tethering, gps.

From the PB1 debloated build I followed the DEV bootloader tutorial here. Used Method 2 (safestrap) to install the Samsung Bootloader Unlocker. Reboot to your home screen and run the newly installed app. Don't forget to use a blank/different exSDcard as the process will format it and backup your current bootloader. After this you should be able to go into download mode and see "MODE: Developer". Since I was on a PB1 build which already had LP TWRP Installer app (from here on I'll call it "LPTWRP") I skipped step 7 in method 2.

Continued the tutorial in the same thread starting at "If You Already Have Bootloader Unlocked And On A Samsung TW Rom".

Downloaded:

PB1_Firmware_Only_NK2_Kernel.tar.md5 (on PC)

TWRP_Prepare.zip (exSDcard)

SafeStrap_PF4_Bootloader_Unlock_AIO.zip (exSDcard)

S5_KLTE_USA_VZW.pit (PC)

Rebooted using LPTWRP

Flash TWRP_Prepare.zip

Reboot directly to bootloader (download mode).

Odin 3.09 both PB1_Firmware_Only_NK2_Kernel.tar.md5 (AP) and S5_KLTE_USA_VZW.pit (pit) -- If you have a 32GB internal then skip the pit file. Wait....

Here is where it got interesting.. now after I flashed the two files in odin of course my phone rebooted automatically. I was presented with a new TWRP splash screen with two buttons but it disappeared so quickly I couldn't select a button. so I pulled the battery. Rebooted to bootloader (power+voldown+home). Make sure it says the binary is "official". Note that "MODE: Developer" should be GONE at this point if the binary is "official". If not, reflash the files with odin and check again.

Ok, so my binary is official.. so I pull the battery again and reboot to recovery -- WTF, its not TWRP. No problem, reboot the phone and let it get to your home screen and then reflash the LPTWRP and reboot to recovery. At this point I flash "SafeStrap_PF4_Bootloader_Unlock_AIO.zip" and then again reboot to recovery. This time LPTWRP is gone and now the official TWRP is installed. From this point I wipe data and cache and installed "BS_FREE_VZW_PF4_DEODEXED_ROOTED.zip".

Note, when I flashed the PF4 rom for some reason the info said it was installing PD1 which got me a little worried. Probably just a typo on the OP's part. Then I got an error that it could not mount /cache -- even more worried. It finished and I rebooted. Saw the new verizon splash screen and it booted in 10m.

I am however getting a "kernel is not seandroid enforcing" message when I first boot but it does boot and works great. Not sure if that has anything to do with the /cache mounting issue or not.

Good luck!
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] BlueLaguna88:
ok your guide sounds very followable. i have a few question; what is LPTWRP? and if you dont mind checking private mode id appreciate it thanks.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] kisk9:
LPTWRP is the rom developer's custom TWRP that is flashable through his apk in this PB1 rom.

Just tested, and no, private mode doesn't not work on this BS free rom.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] BlueLaguna88:
[MENTION=1949695]jrkruse[/MENTION] is it possible for a fix on the private mode?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] NerdyKowboy:
I'm (unfortunately) in need of Exchange email access. I prefer to keep it separate from my gmail (personal).

I noticed that this ROM doesn't have a stock email. I can't seem to find the Samsung stock email apk anywhere. Probably because I can't find correct nomenclature for my search parameters.

Prefer to use that since I know the xposed module can bypass the exchange security.

Little help?

TWRP couldn't read my SD card either until I downgraded my twrp back a few versions.

TWRP images can be found here: https://dl.twrp.me/klte/

Use the *.tar files to flash via ODIN in the AP slot.

For me, it took going back to 3.0.2-0 to get access to SD card.

Hi everyone - need some help on this. I usually search and find my own solutions, but on this one, I'm stumped.

I had everything running just fine yesterday - the entire day, but when I went to pickup my phone after charging last night, things on my screen are in a right to left order instead of left to right. My apps in the app drawer are listed in reverse order. See pics attached. Any thoughts?

I've already tried to reset settings, and clear cache.

Hey guys - loving how fast and slim this ROM is. Like [MENTION=4979565]PartyDroid[/MENTION], installed using almost exactly 7gb. And battery life is fantastic!

One question I had was, does everyone get a little lag when turning on the screen? For me, it's kinda random, but sometimes 4 or 5 seconds before the screen comes on. And it almost always comes on very dim first, and then comes the rest of the way on. (Again, random times - sometimes just a moment, and some times a couple seconds).

This is my first and only MM Rom, so I wasn't sure if it's a function of MM - maybe normal "waking up" from doze? Again, I like everything about the Rom, but that does get annoying, especially when I think maybe I didn't push the power button all the way, so I hit it again, only to turn it back off. Just wondering if I should try another ROM, reinstall this one, tweak some settings, or live with it because it's MM.

But thanks again for the work on the Rom, [MENTION=1949695]jrkruse[/MENTION]! I do appreciate my "new" phone!
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] bobby2175:
Arl16 - my first MM rom as well and I can say that I've never come across the 4-5 seconds to get the screen on. I do see the dim first and then the rest of the way, but it is very quick - maybe 1 second at most.

Using this rom, however when I receive an MMS from someone who has sent me an SMS before, instead of receiving the MMS inline with the sms' they appear in a separate Convo as a group message (me, recipient). Only happens in Samsung messenger. Wierd lil glitch, is there an apk for the Sammy messages app I can sideload to troubleshoot. Thanks for the help! Awesome rom! Thank you very much.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] arl16:
Thanks - yeah, I still get the dim screen, and random wait times from 1-5 seconds, but I found that if I just go ahead and swipe the screen to unlock, it opens immediately, so problem solved.

Now - only other issue is I can't get adopted storage to work. I tried following the tips and websites recommended in this thread:

http://xdaforums.com/verizon-galaxy-s5/general/adoptable-storage-feature-marshmallow-t3391052

But after following the ADB commands, although it seems to work, when I reboot, my brand new, working SD card comes up as corrupt. Formating and going back as external storage restores it. Wash, rince, repeat.

Even tried SuperThomas Lab Root Essentials, but got the same result.

Just wondering if this is our phone or a ROM issue. Anyone get it working on this ROM?

Thanks!

[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] arl16:
You will not lose root, but you need to unlock your bootloader first. No rooted MM with a locked bootloader. Have to make sure you CAN unlock your bootloader, (need the 15 Samsung eMMMc) so read this thread thoroughly: http://xdaforums.com/verizon-galaxy-s5/development/rd-unlocking-galaxys-s5-bootloader-t3337909

If your phone can do it, I went to PB1 first, then followed Method 2 on the unlocker thread. Once unlocked, you can flash this ROM with TWRP and stay rooted.

[MENTION=7664313]sirvikky[/MENTION] - Everything is working fine for me. Debloated - uses about 7GB, leaving much more space than my previous build. It is pre-rooted, so you're good there. (Only way to be rooted in MM is to install pre-rooted ROMs.)

Only thing I'm still having trouble with is adopted storage. Can't get it to work, but I'm not sure if that's our device or Touchwiz. (This is a Touchwiz-based ROM).
