I have everything you need to put you on what ever firmware you choose with unlocked bootloader if android 6 is what you want then flash that stuff

I mean i obviously didn't grab this CID15 S5 to put android 6 on it. I'd like 9 or 10 preferrably. Just wondering how i would go about it. If you could give me some insight i would even go so far as to recreate a how to on the topic. Just don't feel like doing the leg work on this one. XDA's always been here for me. From my first threaded question to my first modded ROM on a thread. Was really hoping the love was still here. lol
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] jrkruse:
Well to run anything higher in lineage im sure you need to be on 6 firmware so thats what i would put on it

Yes. I followed it to a T, and with many variations. I tried putting those files in internal storage and installing from there, and got the same "App not installed" error.

Thank you for the response, by the way.

I have this device...x3 one is on lineage 16.0, one is on lineage 14.1 and one is on stock marshmallow

Problem is probably with TWRP. Which version do you have?

Edit: I probably won't be back on this thread for a while, so I'll lay out my suspicion. I think you are still using twrp that comes from the OP. Update to the latest version of twrp then to the super clean install method recommended by [MENTION=4122877]curiousrom[/MENTION]. Also update your baseband with the package from lineage developer haggertk found here

https://androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=142906

I'm not sure why [MENTION=1949695]jrkruse[/MENTION] is being so unhelpful they have been instrumental in supporting this device over the years and should have been able to help you. In the future feel free to tag or message me, [MENTION=4122877]curiousrom[/MENTION] is also a great resource for this device.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] jrkruse:
Are you really calling me unhelpful. Dude everything I have posted here has been tried and tested by thousands of people but I have long since moved on.

No need to get hot, it wasn't an attack. I was just surprised you weren't able to help. This is a very common problem, and updating twrp is the most obvious and common solution. I'm thankful for all the work that you have put into this device, and even stated so in my post. Take a deep breath and try to see the good instead of the bad.

[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] hoffman1984:
So yeah I got it sorted anyway. Ended up using the QL1 unlocker zip to sort the issue. The TWRP version that was packaged with that didn't give lineage any issues. Happy to report that I'm all good. And after the add-on su I'm all rooted, too. Thanks man. I know it's probably a huge pain in the ass having someone ask you to guide them through this after writing all of that documenatin but I appreciate it.

Any way to get root beyond Android v. 5.0 for Galaxy S5 Verizon?

Samsung Galaxy S5 Verizon with CID 11. My phone is root with Lollipop but some applications I want to run need Android 7.0. Is there any way to get beyond Android 5.0? Thanks for any help!!

---------- Post added 4th July 2020 at 12:04 AM ---------- Previous post was 3rd July 2020 at 11:56 PM ----------

I rooted my Samsung Galaxy S5 Verizon CID 11 with JRKruse's instructions. It gives you Android 5.0 which is dated but stable. I'm trying to find out if there is a way to get beyond v. 5.0 to v. 7.0. Do you need help?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] curiousrom:
S5 G900V, Magisk & Root

Magisk modifies boot.img which is the kernel.

Magisk does not touch the S5's bootloader which is aboot.

So you can install Magisk safely on your S5 G900V without re-locking the bootloader.

[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] i'mtryingokay:
Hey everyone, I'm completely new at this so forgive me if I'm missing a simple solution

I followed the CID 15 instructions and once flashed the first file via odin my wifi stopped working completely. I've tried it several times and randomly only one time did the wifi work but I failed to install the version of android I wanted (I apparently need androidn 10 because this is to allow an old phone without data to be used for receiving work emails via wifi after I let my employer have full access to the phone, which is why I wont use my personal phone).

The error I get when trying to connect is "wifi authentication error" no matter what network it is and I've tried a factory reset several times.

Any idea what I need to do to fix the wifi? I'm assuming I need an updated firmware or something but I dont know how to find out what version I need
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] aslamgee:

[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] Delgoth:
See, I still have my S5. I haven't tried Safe strapping 6.0.1

But if we can flash zips via SS to a stock MM build, hold my beer, I still thinks that Marshmallow is rootable on CID 11. Which is what I got.

Wasn't that the major milestone on the Note8 and 9.0?

But we have to think. The CID 11 G900V is able to be dirty cow patched on 6.0.1 && Has a leaked flash programmer &&&& we thus have an EDL CLEAN Safestrap potentially.

Given the Trinity. Root is within sight. I just need a new computer. I got hard drives w/ WSLv2, Ubu20.04, and x86 9.0.

If I can get a setup I might just be able to spruce up that GHR console for stock Marshmallow without trying to RE a rawprogram XML.

I'm still looking to try.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] mrrocketdog:
[MENTION=3254678]Delgoth[/MENTION] , good for you. make history and alot of people happier. best of luck !!!
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] jrkruse:
I actually have a way you can boot safestrap on marshmallow on s5 without using a computer. Even if dirty cow root worked it’s only temporary so safestrap is much better option
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] Delgoth:
It would only be temporary, but it could be scripted to start on each boot maybe. But could dirtycow also be a way of patching in a version of Elliwigy's persist root method?

As far as I remember though, there actually was a caveat to the exploit that was: if you could manage to get your patched binary to EXACTLY Equal the original filesize (i.e. Character for Character) the 6.0.1 kernel could be fooled into not panicking and not trigger the restoration of the stock filesystem. Hard to do sometimes though with closed source custom OEM builds like Samsung. But could be possible still.

That's why I was considering the dirtycow root shell idea, because then we could use the cache partition and serve as a means to just run arbitrary root commands when the need suited. It would also lend itself to being an independent library included into a new APK that would serve as a root broker.

Because what I really want on my S5 is a root authorized Termux environment.

Thank you for this! I have a Verizon Samsung S5 and the eMMC CID starts with a 15 so started with that instruction.

Got further than I have with any other method!

I finished steps 1-3 just fine. I'm at:

"4. Flash and let the phone process the file. It will reboot twice and you should be dropped into Android within a minute and a half."

Exactly how do I do that? I rebooted it normally and it is DEFINITELY not the same version of software that was on there just before.

There's a box that's see-thru with yellow lettering with a line that starts with the words:

PDA: FA44_G900VVRU2APA1

It looks like some sort of overlay. How do I get rid of that?

Hello. I’m looking for some help to install Lineage OS 17. My original phone is a Samsung Galaxy S5, SM-G900V, Android version 6.0.1, CID 11 eMMC. I have successfully followed the instructions in this thread by jrkruse on 2/26/2017, and have downgraded the phone to Android Version 5.0. It is rooted (per the Root Checker app), and has Safestrap Recovery (TWRP).

When I open TWRP to flash the Lineage OS and GApps, I do the following:

Wipe > Advanced Wipe > Select Cache, Dalvik Cache, System, and Data. Then Swipe to Wipe.

Next, I flash the Lineage file (lineage-17.1-20210418-nightly-klte-signed.zip) and then the GApps file (open_gapps-arm-10.0-nano-20210512.zip). Both flash to completion with no errors.

After GApps flashing completes, I select Wipe cache/Dalvik then Swipe to Wipe.

Lastly, after the wipe completes, I click on Reboot System, then “Do Not Install”.

The phone should now boot to the new Lineage OS. However, my phone boots to the same “Samsung Galaxy S5” logo screen with the open lock “Custom” icon and freezes there. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

Sorry for my ignorance, but will this root method trip up and Samsung security features and will Knox allow the rooted phone to function as expected?

[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] AptLogic:
That's probably because the phone didn't actually freeze up. Chances are it was just waiting for the internal storage to catch up with it before it could do the wipe. Just go back in download mode and start over.

Here is an updated Safestrap to install for those running rooted lollipop rom. After you install a rooted lollipop rom with safestrap its always a good Idea to reinstall the safestrap.apk just to make sure safestrap is still installed. Some roms like my stock PB1 rom install system images and not files and this will remove safestrap from system. This is also an updated safestrap.apk that will allow you to reboot to safestrap recovery from the app without flashing the kitkat kernel with odin this only works on rooted lollipop roms. Marshmallow you will always have to enter safestrap by flashing kitkat kernel with odin. Remeber to flash lollipop or marshmallow kernel when leaving safestrap. This safestrap apk requires busybox be installed it is included in the zip just install them the same way as you did when you rooted. Also if you prefer flashfire its always a good idea to install safestrap as a backup if flashfire fails

LL_MM_SafeStrap.zip

---------- Post added at 05:43 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:40 PM ----------

So you mush have wiped something or when you rebooted the phone would have given the option to enter safestrap. You didnt touch any of the boot options in safestrap did you. You neber mess with those it always stays on system slot. Rom slots dont work. You just trying to wiped and didnt click format or click repair when in the wipe section?. Start the process over this time when you get to safestrap. Flash the firmware zip first make sure it flashes ok the wipe and flash rom
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] Legitsu:
it may not be strictly a permission problem it may be that something isn't getting mounted quickly enough it will throw that error if it can't write to where it needs to

Can somebody help me with this? I'm an absolute noob with this and I'm incredibly lost in the instructions (I don't think they're very clear)

For example, on step 1, it just says download the file supplied. Do I download that on my phone or my PC? Step 2 says Unzip, but doesn't tell me where. Step 3 says use Odin 3.12 but I didn't know what that is or where to find it.

I'm trying to muscle my way through this... just guessing, I placed the file on my PC and extracted the files from the zip and put them on my desktop. After about 10 minutes of frustrated looking around, I discovered Odin is a PC program. I found version 3.12 and downloaded it.

I managed to get my phone into download mode, pressed the up volume button to confirm and it took me to a screen that says "Downloading... Do not turn off the target!!".

I have no idea what this means, and it appears to not be doing anything.

I loaded the md5 file into the AP slot and hit the start button in Odin, but it doesn't look like anything is happening there, either. Log:

<OSM> Enter CS for MD5..

<OSM> Check MD5.. Do not unplug the cable..

<OSM> Please wait..

<OSM> Checking MD5 finished Sucessfully..

<OSM> Leave CS..

What is CS? How do I "leave" it?

Step five reads: "Flash let phone reboot". What does this mean? It doesn't even read like English.

Well it looks really bad now. I have no idea what's going on but it looks like somehow my phone has been completely wiped. All my files are gone, I think. I can't tell for sure because it doesn't even look like my phone any more.

I just get this strange home screen with little android icons everywhere. SEMI, Waterproof, MIC2 Echo, CpuStress, RX_AGC_LE..., Factory IME, and BCDS Finge...

There's a text box that's floating on the screen with lots of yellow text in it, too much to type.

[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] AptLogic:
That strange home screen is normal, don't worry you did everything right. The reason all of those things are there is that this was originally an internal build for diagnostic use by Samsung engineers, you don't need to worry about those apps, just install the APKs in the OP and follow the instructions, you'll be fine.

Any other questions feel free to ask.
