[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ThunderlipsJoe:
Sry about the terrible shorthand. Finally broke down and factory reset my verizon gs5. Before setting up i decided to roll it back, root it, and get a debloated PB1 rom from here:

https://xdaforums.com/verizon-galaxy-s5/general/root-method-og5-ok3-t3290370

So, if like me, and you have the nov/dec VZW OTA update on your phone PJ2 if i recall, this link got me rolled back and rooted. This method added busybox which i didn't really understand, safestrap which i actually kinda liked, and initially kingroot then the flash went to superSU.

I kinda liked the marshmallow os a touch better with the google now launcher and everything verizon as removed as possible vs 5.x.x. Basically the verizon OTA update to marshmallow essentially bricked my phone (not enough space after like 3 years of never re-formatting). I love my tablet that essentially runs just a bare bones no BS google android marshmallow software similar to what a pixel has or nexus had.

Doin more reading looking for such a rom i found this link:

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

This successfully unlocked the bootloader. They omit that you should make sure you have the rom on he phone or sd card before starting. So before using odin make sure the rom is on the phone and matched the bootloader unlocker you wish to use. This method of flashing used TWRP recovery which i found to be...different than safestrap but functional all the same.

QUESTION 1

Is there a rom for the SM-G900V that is similar or identical to a non branded google device like how the pixel comes stock?

I haven't messed around with the phone since unlocking the bootloader and flashing it to the VZW_BPB1_ODEX_DEODEX_V9 using the TWRP Recovery. Basically if my best bet is a debloated stock but rooted vzw rom that is 6.x.x and then manually removing/deactivating the garbage from vzw apps i'll do it. But figured this was the place to ask if there was already a rom out there that works on the SM-G900V. Because i can easily put a rom that does the job instead of tinkering more than i have too.

QUESTION 2

Now that i used the SafeStrap_PB1_Bootloader_Unlock_AIO.zip and flashed VZW_BPB1_ODEX_DEODEX_V9.zip using the method from the second link. It APPEARS i can just load a 6.x.x rom and use TWRP Recovery to flash that. Am i mistaken? Will i need to do the unlock bootloader process over for the PD1 PF4 or whatever boatloader unlocker corresponds with the rom. OR...now that the bootloader is no longer verizon'ed can i basically swap roms to my hearts content as long as they do not also try to install a new bootlaoder??

I have no idea how to "tag" either poster from the links i mentioned but i'm certain many here as well as they could answer both questions easily.

Thank you to all who put a little time and thought into helping someone out. I guess the new normal is the others who have more time to critique the subject of a question instead of simply providing a little knowledge.

Owning a Nexus device period is enough to belong to a community of people who enjoy learning about development and Android OS and the capabilities of smartphone technology. Most of us learn from trial and error or researching the internet.

Basically I'm sick of trolls who think they are the public internet forum police, lashing out at anyone who might have a question that boosts egos which hide behind the screen of anonymity. Normally I can look past these acts but sometimes you just want to use the app or site for information, questions and answers. :confused:

Please don't take this the wrong way... Is not that people don't want to help, it's that some people don't search before posting a question. I've seen people ask a question where the answer was posted 1 minute before they asked the question. I've seen the same question get asked and answered multiple times on the same page. When you've been in a thread long enough you will see the same thing and you will say "I see what they're talking about". Me, I see the same questions, but I don't answer them with smart remarks. I just stay quiet. I've learned to search first, or wait and my problem will surely get asked about from someone else. Enjoy your phone.. And keep asking questions when you don't know the answer.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bchadm76:
Well when I'm searching for one simple answer and I see that there's thousands for posts, then the simpler solution for myself is to post a question. My issue may be different than someone else's. Regardless of any excuse I may have I still do not understand what you want me to do. Why do you feel you have to correct the way I use a site in a way that does not affect you whatsoever. It takes the topic away from a tech question and makes it about your opinion , that's not why I posted the op. Thankfully there's those who are on here that will post a solution.

So now that I've taken a few minutes to address your concern the same way you have, when it's all over and done we have both just wasted our time. I am gonna take a guess and assume that you probably share your opinion on what you disagree on with other users. Its pointless unless the point is to get a reaction from people
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bchadm76:
Just so you know I will be logging out of XDA forums because the amount of troll activity is not even worth the simple questions answer. Btw I research way before I even consider asking someone.

I apologize in advance if it's here and I didn't find it...

Here is my problem.

My son died in a jeep accident in July of this year. He had a Samsung Galaxy S5. I was unable to guess the pattern or the pin. I only have 2 attempts left before it automatically factory resets and wipes itself. I am not yet prepared to lose all the pictures, etc. by attempting to guess using the last two. I will wait until some one of you geniuses figure a way to help folks like me out.

So, in all my searching of the archives did I miss my answer or is the phone a paperweight until someone figures out a way in.

Thank you in advance for your help.

Dave

Also, he didn't have a google account that I know of. I shut off his account before realizing it might have helped me to leave it on. And he didn't, that I can discover, have a Samsung account. It was with Verizon. No sd card.

I can access my sdcards in twrp recovery via pc even w/pin security enabled.

search for installing twrp via odin if its not already installed, you can also copy everything via adb but need to read on its use.

or if not willing to learn bring it to a service center they should be able to do it

[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yazeed_twb:
Hello bro,

I am sorry for hear that :(

You need only to flash TWRP recovery by Odin (see YT for how to flash).

Before flash TWRP make sure that you installed Ur phone drivers on PC + ADB shell

(I advice U to install 15 sec ADB program Instade of Android SDK.

After flash recovery reboot to recovery by Press power,home and volume up button.

After reboot 2 recovery connect Ur S5 to PC and now you allowed access files by PC.

Another method:

Do all steps above but when U reboot to recovery go to Wipe then advanced wipe then select cache,dalvic cache and data

Then swipe​ to wipe.

Reboot Ur phone and then wait for 20-25 min, the phone will format but without wipe the internal storage and U will not lose Ur files
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mattnin:
Flashing TWRP assumes he has a 15' eMMC and root. Getting root would wipe all data if the eMMC checks out first. To get adb he needs to enable that first in developer settings and he can't do that without the pin.

His best bet is to attempt reading the external SD card for pictures first. If you're lucky it won't be encrypted. If it is encrypted, get TWRP on there and put the card in and I am pretty sure it will decrypt using the default password. If you do put TWRP on there, you would lose all internal data though and any pictures on the phone itself.

He says it is a VZW S5. It's bootloader is not unlocked and requires an exploit to unlock and get TWRP. So yes, he needs root.
[XDA Assist] Johnnyappleseeds:
I am trying to restore my stock ROM so I can do a carrier reset. (I use ting and my phone was sprint).

I am using ubuntu but have a windows install as well.

I Unlocked the bootloader with htcdev, installed TWRP, and rooted with SuperSU, and flashed the ARHD 20.0 rom because sprintzone makes me angry. It read that it is actually a GSM rom and I have a CDMA sim card so I won't be using that anymore.

Current predicament:

RELOCKED

S-ON

RECOVERY MODE fails with "failed to boot to recovery mode"

phone will not boot to system, just goes straight to bootloader. Download mode works.

I want to fix recovery mode but I can't do it because the bootloader is locked.

MAIN PROBLEM: fastboot flash unlocktoken unlock_code.bin reports success, but the phone immediately reboots bootloader with RELOCKED, so I cannot flash any recovery image. I also cannot turn S-OFF because I cannot boot into system or gain access through recovery mode to install the sunshine app.

I have gathered that I need to flash an RUU image, but I can't do that because my MID and CID are not supported (according to other threads) and S-OFF.

I tried to install the RUU anyway with:

fastboot oem rebootRUU

fastboot flash zip 0PJAIMG.zip ##(sprint version)

but it threw: Invalid sparse file format at header magi fastboot: /libsparse/sparse.c:144: write_all_blocks: Assertion 'pad >= 0' failed. so no luck.

Is there another way I can restore manually from fastboot without an RUU? I couldn't find a system.img or bootloader.img or anything like that. Will it work if I go buy an external SD card and but the RUU on that? or maybe someone knows what is wrong with the unlock process.

[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Neferian:
Hi there, I have a question. I read in the thread about unlocking bootloader that if I have updated my phone from "fota" my device will brick.

I have flashed a lot on my first 4 phones until I hard bricked a new s2 within 4h of owning it because of factory nand being corrupt and I didint read up on s2 bricks and how they can happen and haven't since for last 2 years done anything to my phones.

So my question is, I have a c6603 Sony Xperia Z and I assume I have the newest os version available, downloaded through OTA (ver. 5.1.1) will my device brick? is there an option like for nexus 4 I had that I could install a stock rom from Google. So get one from Sony and that would be an os not installed from OTA but done over factory update.zip or something.

Also can someone direct me and tell me again to refresh memory what do I need to do and how to get root and be able to back up stuff and get rid of the Sony bloatware and have a faster phone hopefully if roms still give that.

Thank you very much, sorry for bad English.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danishaznita:
first of all , older galaxy like s2 s3 are incredibly easy to brick , just forget bout it if u really had no idea about it.
