[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] iCornflakes:
Yo,

yesterday I dropped my GS7E, it wasn't much of a high but the ground was pretty hard. My hardglass screen protector shattered a little but not really much, just the bottom corners of the screen protector got hurt.

Since then, my phone is not waking the screen up the first time I press the power button to unlock the phone. It its waking up but the screen stays black, I can unlock it by fingerprint while the screen is black and even take photos or open any app. I also feel the vibration.

So to fix it and actually get into the phone with screen on I have to lock and unlock it again. If I lock the phone after using it normally, it would work the normal way after unlocking it right again. But if I waited some time and I try unlocking, the screen would just stay black for the first attempt of unlocking.

Isnt that weird? xD

Just wanted to share that and maybe someone even got a permanent fix for that :D

What happens if you turn it on with the home button instead of the power button?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] iCornflakes:
It wakes up the screen like it would normally do, but the first time I presss it, the screen stays black and I have to lock it again and then I can wake up the screen with home button.

Forgot to mention that.

[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] snsone:
Set it as default dialer app
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] paniro187:
OK how do I do that
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] paniro187:
I tried to set the dialer as default and it opens then immediately closes. Doesn't even say it crashed it just closes.

Its glitchy on my phone too. I deleted the other dialer, then installed pixel one. Now when people call, the swipe to answer is all distorted and jumping around. Still works though.

Maybe in the near future
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] Deleted member 7731293:

In case you flashed this over cm7 or stock, flash your old kernel via odin.

[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] Royal2000H:
Great job!

This works*.

I just finished the process of researching everything and installing most things based on the many different threads people vaguely pointed to.

It's nice to see someone compile it all together in one spot.

I previously had to reinstall the full PB1 restore image several times because I had gotten stuck along the way a few times.

The main thing I took from you that was different from other guides was that I installed PF4 from TWRP instead of FlashFire, maybe that helped things work.

*Some tips/modifications based on what I did based on other guides and now partially yours for the last few steps that worked just now:

1. The part where you install G900V_Fix Safestrap.zip and then Install PB1 ROM (VZW_BPB1_ODEX_DEODEX_V9.zip) is unnecessary.

So in other words, after Knox_Removal_SU_BB_INIT.D.zip, skip straight to unlocking Bootloader.

2. After unlocking the bootloader and reformatting the SD card, I'd suggest copying over all the remaining zip files you need for the rest of the tutorial to your device... that way you don't need to take out the microSD card and find a microSD reader.

3. I can't remember for sure, but I think after installing the PF4 ROM (I used G900V_PF4_Stock_Rooted_ROM.zip (For "Unlocked" Bootloaders Only!)), I had to reinstall TWRP 3.0.0 from ODIN.

4. Here's the link to TWRP 3.0.0 for ODIN https://dl.twrp.me/klte/twrp-3.0.0-0-klte-klte.img.tar.html

Those are all the suggestions I can remember. Great guide!
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] mms2020:
In retrospect, you are right that I did not need to install PB1 ROM (VZW_BPB1_ODEX_DEODEX_V9.zip). So removed that part. also made other changes as suggested.

Thank you!
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] Royal2000H:
Great! Just a few more suggestions:

1. I think the part with "Once phone reboots, GO BACK TO PHONE AND CHANGE FOLLOWING SETTINGS " (basically the whole part about reenabling developer options and enabling USB debugging) is unnecessary and can be deleted because you deleted the part about installing that second ROM so all that should still be enabled.

2. I'd move the link to TWRP for ODIN from the bottom to right after the first time you mention TWRP (the line that starts with: While phone is still on the Bootloader" or "download mode, connect....)

3. What I meant in my previous reply was that I think flashing PF4 wiped TWRP, so in order to reboot to TWRP right after you install PF4, you need the user to reinstall TWRP from ODIN (right before/after this line: NOW FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS FROM “If You Already Have...)
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] mms2020:
Made those changes as well. If I remember correctly, I did not need to reflash TWRP after PF4 installation as it was flashed through the TWRP. Thanks
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] hyperlightdrifter:
Great thread!

If I unlock the bootloader, do I still need to flash a new kernel from pb1 lollipop to a marshmallow kernel if I want to flash a marshmallow based rom on there? Particularly CM 13.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] hyperlightdrifter:
Nice!

If I want to flash cyanogen mod 13 do I do it after I flash the bootloader unlock & twrp, or do I have to flash SafeStrap_PB1_Bootloader_Unlock_AIO.zip first?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] t-wrench:
Thanks for this thread, OP.

I know a ton of work went into the methods explained in the threads used to create this newbie guide, but it can be difficult to follow those information dense threads for those of us who only get into rooting and flashing every couple of years with a new phone.

Sucks that Google and Verizon are making this more difficult. I fondly recall one click rooting!

They lock down the phones and load up the bloatware and if you aren't tech savvy enough to get around their locks (or just tech savvy enough to be able to follow an XDA how to thread), then you're almost forced into buying a 32gb phone so that you don't run out of memory when you start installing apps you actually want rather than the bloatware they prepackage.

I am blown away by how much bloatware has been removed from this debloated PF4.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] Thumbmasher:
Trying real hard

Hi Guys, Well after much trying I have my phone rooted and the bootloader unlocked. Do I have to load the PF4 or can I continue to use it as it is. Or may I use a debloated PB1 rom? Thanks
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] t-wrench:
You can use it as is.

But since you did all this work, might as well upgrade to Marshmallow.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] Thumbmasher:
I am afraid of loosing my work. It took all day. Can I flash 5.0 roms now? Like this one?

http://xdaforums.com/verizon-galaxy-s5/development/vzwstock-based-tw-rom-3-4-16-t3329029
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] t-wrench:
I'm not sure on exactly what you can flash. I followed this newbie guide and it worked fine. Hopefully someone else can chime in.

As for loosing your work, if you followed the guide to unlocking the bootloader, you now have TWRP recovery. So make a backup, and store it on the microSD, or even safer yet, copy it from the microSD to another drive. If you screw things up, just use TWRP to restore the backup. Even if accidentally wipe the microSD, you'll still have that backup preserved off the phone.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] bussemac:
Well, I had the (joy) of working on my mom's S5 VZW today. It was only running KK, so I got it rooted and bootloader unlocked OK,installed TWRP fine, but I tried flashing CM 14.1 (I had the 12/24 nightly downloaded before the servers all shutdown) and after 20 minutes it still wasn't getting past the CM logo. I'm used to these things taking a while, but 20 minutes is way too long. I'm currently downloading the PJ2 Stock Rooted Debloated rom to try from TWRP instead, since I can't download CM13 thanks to the whole CM/Lineage split.

For what it's worth, in the directions above, after flashing G900V_PF4_Stock_Deodexed_Debloated_Rooted_ROM.zip, I did have to reflash TWRP with Odin (someone else mentioned this, too). The directions at that step were unclear; did I need to let that boot all the way up, and if so, how long should I wait, since this is a Deodexed ROM I know it could take like 15 minutes, but it still wasn't booting after 20. So I just did a battery pull, reflashed TWRP, and proceeded to install the remaining zips as instructed.

While in TWRP, I can't make a backup to the external SD card; maybe it's mounted read-only? I can backup to the internal sdcard, which is OK if I ever get it booted up to any OS where I can use a file manager or transfer to PC.

Still, these directions were very helpful, hoping I can get this thing running in the next hour or so... I have to leave tomorrow! :D
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] t-wrench:
Not sure if [MENTION=4136650]mms2020[/MENTION] is still reading this, but in the SamsungUnlocker app, it seems that "Yes" is case sensitive. When I typed 'yes', the phone immediately powered off and subsequent reboot into bootloader does NOT show mode Developer and Odin flashing of TWRP 3.0.0 fails. I repeated and typed "Yes", then app generates a few more lines on screen, then phone powers down. Now bootloader shows mode Developer and Odin flashing of TWRP 3.0.0 succeeds.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] psin2005:
Thanks for the guide it was actually quite straight forward to follow. I have a ok3 verizon s5 rooted w/ twrp installed and bootloader unlocked. Having never dealt with verizon or samsung phones before. What do I have to do to upgrade to a nougat CM14 rom? (i'm mainly concerned with connectivity issues). Since twrp is installed can I just install a cm14 image? (full wipe and all).

I'm on lollipop, rooted, unlocked bootloader, I want to upgrade to marshmallow and keep twrp, so I don't need to install safestrap do I?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] zounduser:
I followed the steps a few days ago, it went perfectly. The root, the bootloader unlock, and the Marshmallow upgrade was all so easy! Nothing like my Note 4. I had to do all the work for that phone. This phone has it easy. It's all done for the users already. All I needed was a computer, with adb, common sense, and the ability to read lol. Anyways I'm on the Nemesis N7 international port and my phone is flying on this rom!! Couldn't be happier with my Now.... what....3 year old S5!

stuck

I've followed the steps to the letter and after running the 1st BAT file, I am at the prompt where it says the phone will get stuck at the Samsung Galaxy screen, but wait for the phone to reconnect.

I hear the usb ding indicating a device is plugged in, but I do not get past the samsung screen. I have the latest Samsung usb drivers installed but even installed the ones from the blackcat folder, but I never move beyond the samsung screen. any suggestions?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] sibliss:
This is normal because at this point it won't go past the Samsung screen hence it's stuck so once you hear the sound confirming the USB device is connected just continue with the bat fIle instructions hit enter

Trojan detected in download

I wanted to try this method and downloaded GS5_LOLLIROOT_BLACKCAT.7z from www.androidfilehost.com.

Kaspersky Antivirus flagged the file "schrodinger32" as containing a trojan it called "HEUR:Exploit.AndroidOS.LOtoor.bu". Also, the MD5 check doesn't match what's listed on the download page....

Has anybody experienced something similar? Does anyone have a clean copy they can share?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] sibliss:
i used the zip found on this thread with no issues, if this gets flagged as well i would say it is a false positive.

[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] braungre:
OK, so I've managed to get to the point where I run the Step 3 .BAT; I don't see "KSLOG DONE" but I do get a "KSRLOG: prepare done" message.

At this point, the BAT stops. I pull the battery, go into the bootloader mode, and flash the stock kernel with odin, and the phone restarts and loads the OS. I try running Kingroot but it says "Root strategy unavailable."

Anyone know what I'm doing wrong?

UPDATE: PROBLEM SOLVED

After repeating four times, it worked! Anyone trying this should note that it may take several (identical) attempts.

[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] RetroRider:
As I go through and try to download everything that's required from this guide, I've hit a roadblock with respect to TWRP (specifically, it says to install TWRP 3.0.0 via ODIN, where you have to be sure to install the correct version of TWRP for your device). When I go to the site though, there are only a couple versions for a Galaxy S5, and I don't recognize any of them (Exynos, Neo Exynos, Mini Exynos, Plus, LTE-A, and Qualcom). Can someone point me to one that will work with mine (Verizon, OE1, CID 15)? The first link from a google search brings this up (https://dl.twrp.me/odin/twrp-3.0.0-0-odin.img.html), but it makes no reference to device versions so I'm hesitant to try it..........Or another thought may be that enough updates to TWRP have happened that they have fixed the issue where it didn't recognize SD cards after version 3.0.0, so I can just use Google Play Store to install the latest version and it should work fine.........thoughts? Many thanks!
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jsusgarcia179:
Hey guys.

Here's my situation:

My phone had some Xtreme rom which was essentially just a debloated stock 6.0 rom.

I was trying to install a very experimental multirom recovery but it essentially failed and was giving me errors whenever I wanted to flash something.

I used the phone like this for a few days because I didn't have time to fix it but eventually it got stuck in a bootloop and all I have access to now is download mode.

Now LGUP is not an option because the makers of Xtreme modified the build.prop and my g4 shows up as unrecognized and Flash Tool doesn't work because I'm on v20i.

I've searched through the forums but there doesn't seem to be any definitive solution to this situation. I would love any advice on the matter...my g4 has been in a coma for about

5 months now and I've been using my galaxy nexus.

Thanks guys.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] valest:
I had similar situation before, and I managed to get my ass out using file manager from TWRP recovery.

Does your rec come with integrated file manager, or can you flash your rec in current rec?

If it's NO and NO, I guess you're now super hard bricked.

Maybe you can try putting your phone in 9008 and then unbrick it.
