After three attempts (CID 15), it worked! I have a rooted device with the stock MM rom. I am fairly new to all this but read a lot before trying anything. My question is, why use Magisk if it also requires SuperSu? I thought Magisk was a better version of SuperSu and able to hide the fact that I am rooted and get past safety net. Do I need to keep SuperSu or can I delete it? How can I set up Magisk so it gives superuser permissions and maintain root?

I jumped over to the Magisk thread, and the first thing it says it to flash to the stock boot image (not sure what that is. same as boot loader?) https://xdaforums.com/apps/magisk/official-magisk-v7-universal-systemless-t3473445 Isn't that what I did following the directions in this thread? Unlocked the bootloader to flash MM with root? Why would I want to revert that?

The thread shows Latest Stable Magisk Version: v14.0 Latest Magisk Manager Version: v5.4.0. My Magisk Manger shows "Installed Magisk v11.1" but when I try to update it, it shows the latest version is v-1.0. Where does it get that from? shouldn't it show that the latest version is v14.0 and allow me to update it to that?

thanks all. Just remember, speak English when replying. I can handle a .tar or rom or flash in a sentence, but if you say "You need to flash .tar to .zip with rom binaries using odin supersu" you might need to give a few steps on how that works. :)
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] swiftbones74:
If you fallow the directions you will see that the links in red that can't be downloaded are flies that you have already downloaded and unzipped.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] unitop4:
Right, but that was along time ago and I have since reinstalled my computer. So I don't have those files anymore
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] swiftbones74:
You should be able to download the zips again. I just tried on my computer and had no problems. Make sure to do everything in the proper order.

Merci

Thank you so very much. It did work.

I registered for this very reason. Thank-you button didn't quite cut it.

Thank you again!!
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] swiftbones74:
I am new to this as well but I believe that the answer to your first question is that you don't use Magisk and SuperSu together. If you did the last step properly from the instructions and flashed the MM rom from there I believe that you should be using Magisk and not SuperSu.

Whatever you do don't flash any stock images with bootloaders or you will be back to stock or worse, you will softbrick your device.

Hopefully I answered your questions. I believe that the supersu app is for the step when you first got root and or other roms.

Zips broken

A lot of the zip files in the OP don't do anything. Where can I get a copy of each file? I need the ones for rooting with the EMMC 11 CID

Nevermind, they were contained within the root5 zip
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] RyanPieper:
Is rooting 6.0.1 with Cid 15 possible without a computer?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] androidman807:
After a long convoluted journey of trying various solutions, the answer seems to be that we can't get things like LineageOS on a CID 11.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] RyanPieper:
Any help would be great. Unfortunately, I can't locate anything. If no one knows how or it's not possible I guess I'll be installing linux on my chromebook. Miss my pc....
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] swiftbones74:
You have to have a PC for flashing with Odin but it shouldn't take more than 20 minutes. I would try to use someone's computer if I was you.

Missing links

The OP links for RootS5 Folder and EMMC_15_SafeStrap_QA1_6_0_1_MM_Bootloader_Unlock_A IO.zip are missing. Does anyone have them by chance? Also I was reading the comments and some people have had issues with their S5's getting stuck during the process. I'm a bit concerned if I try to flash to MM. I have Towelroot v3 and v5 downloaded. Can these be used instead of v2? I'm using Safestrap 3.75 and have that apk saved for KK. To confirm I have the G900V with CID 15. Thanks!

---------- Post added at 02:40 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:33 AM ----------

I have all the other files needed downloaded already and know I can't root with towelroot v1. There's several versions of towelroot available so I need to make sure I use the correct one.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] Natesroom:
I have an Issue, tr_v2 or v3 wont install.

my eMMc Chip is

CID 1501004d*****************************

G900VRU2BPB1

Android 5.0

Kernel 3.4

I already installed Apex, Super, Busy, Safestrap_kk, then tried to install tr_v2.apk

Do i need to Flash to 6.0.1 to use this Root Guide? If so where do i get that at?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] Natesroom:
Is this thread dead then? Or does it take a few days to get any help?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] Ryukashin:
I got it all installed and it has SuperSU and Magisk Manager installed, but I can't get magisk to run properly.

Its running v11.1 but does not have the ability to self update, shows "cannot check for updates, no Internet?" If I click on it and click download and install it ask if I want to install v-1.0.zip and then crashes if I hit install or release notes.

The second block says properly rooted 2.82:SUPERSU

The third block says tap to start SafetyNet check, and when I do so it tells me "SafetyNet Failed: CTS profile mismatch"

Modules wants to search my google drive for files (don't know if this is intended and can't search SD or internal memory)

Downloads shows modules to install, they download properly, but don't show up in the interface anywhere and if I try to install they fail.

I would like to install some modules through it like the dolby atmos, xposed framework and greenify.

Are you trying to use the method for 15' Samsung eMMC chips? And if so, do you actually have a Samsung eMMC?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] comcam100:
it is a samsung galaxy s5 by verizon
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] Young Gunna:
??? Although the overall manufacturer of our phones is Samsung, the internal chip set is either Samsung or Toshiba. Currently the Samsung one is the only one that is unlock able. The Toshiba folks are out of luck.

how do i know which one it is is have on my phone???
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] AptLogic:
Connect your phone via an ADB shell and run:

cat /sys/block/mmcblk0/device/cid

The first two digits are the ones you are looking for.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] comcam100:
well its a 11 so great no custom rom for me....... :crying: :crying: :crying: :crying: :crying:
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] AptLogic:
Aw now don't get too depressed... you can still root and install TouchWiz-based ROMs!
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] comcam100:
yes but the things i want to be able to do like install new roms and not have it be touch wiz.... i get it to the rom you have on there but the second i try to unlock the bootloader through safestrap it reboots after the install and gets stuck.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] AptLogic:
You have to use the instructions for the 11 eMMC, you're still using the instructions for the 15 lol
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] jrkruse:
And so it begins again! There an app in playstore called EMMC Brick Bug Check. It will tell you your cid. If you have no clue which method to use run that app and check before you start

---------- Post added at 02:09 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:03 AM ----------

You can still root and use safestrap to flash custom roms. Your good with any TW lollipop roms. If you want MM roms you can still flash a few roms I have made for safestrap. Just follow my directions. Remember no root on MM roms with safestrap but you can still access safestrap to flash mods and go back to lollipop
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] AptLogic:
What exactly is preventing us from making rooted MM ROMs? If its simply a file location check can't we just put the SU binaries somewhere else?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] jrkruse:
Everyone remember to go and thank [MENTION=4770483]mohammad.afaneh[/MENTION] for his updated safestrap. Consider throwing a donation his way. Could you please credit him in the OP
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] AptLogic:

[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] comcam100:
Still giving me issues trying to get it to work......... I wish we could just flash the recovery and put a completely different rom on it....
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] Legitsu:
because dm-verity is enabled on MM and higher

if you so much as write a byte of information to /system /cache ect ect it won't boot

verity is a block level cryptographic check of the entire structure of the NAND

root on ALL marshmallow devices with verity enabled NOT just Samsung require a unlocked boot-loader

and thats the end of it
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] AptLogic:
Try just starting from scratch with the experimental system and use the instructions for the 11 eMMC.

As for the different ROM, I might port AptOS over to the G900V so you guys have a little something closer to AOSP.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] Legitsu:
you would need to completely tear the down the rom and build it around the tw stock kernel

remember cid 11 = no custom kernels no recoverys no nothing other then Samsung stock files

I have toyed with this idea just haven't gotten around to it
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] comcam100:
well i got that 4.4.0 version of android flashed or whatever the number is XD XD XD and it runs that but once i get into safestrap if screws it all up....
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] AptLogic:
Did you flash the Lollipop ROM in Safestrap? Because I think the problem might be that the Safestrap is designed for lollipop.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] Natesroom:
EDIT: OK I THINK I WAS READING INSTRUCTIONS WRONG! I will try again tomorrow and repost - please dont respons to this post yet, i will edit at the top if my redo of the instructions is successful.

It just says app not installed or cannot install app (from memory) I try to run either version it goes through a whole processing screen and then

x app not installed

so i havent even made it to the make it rain screen.

Only thing i might have done differently where it says in instruction #6 it says

"6. If you do not have an External SD Card, copy the following NOW to your Internal Storage:

EMMC_15_SafeStrap_QA1_6_0_1_MM_Bootloader_Unlock_A IO.zip,

and EMMC_15_VZW_QB2_STOCK_MAGISK_ROOT.zip

Well i unzipped them and then copied them to my internal storage so they are in folders not a zip file.

#7 7. Use the File Manager in the app drawer of the phone and install Apex_Launcher.apk press home button and set Apex as the default launcher. Install Superuser.apk, Busybox.apk and SafeStrapKK.apk . Do not open anything yet.

I installed these three then i navigate to tr_v2.apk it tries to install the app and says "app not installed" or something close to it.

Please help!
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] TraderJack:
Wanted to thank you for posting this - it was timely. I too had to factory reset my wife's S5 and in doing so I wanted to unlock/root however she was also on the latest OTAs. Luckily hers is also a CID 15 eMMC which sounds like it makes things easier all around. So while you didn't provide anything other than pointing to the OP #3 you saved me a lot of time and effort looking around to make sure this would work on a phone that had taken all the latest updates.

I did not load Lineage (although I may if I can wean her away from the Samsung interface and some apps she uses), but I did want to get the latest security updates because the OP uses the QB2 update from February and not the QI update from August (which I believe is the latest as of this date).

I have posted my experience updating to the latest after completing the 15 steps in the original instructions.

You can view it in the thread that contains the update here:

https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=74454069&postcount=8

I'm sure that some of the steps in the whole process could be consolidated somehow - but I'm not exactly sure which ones (assuming you are coming from a locked MM 6.0.1). So, if anyone else is in a similar scenario I suggest you follow post #3 from this thread first. More than likely as soon as you have TWRP installed you can probably just install any ROM you want and then flash Magisk - but there may be more to it than that. I have no prior experience tinkering with this phone outside of what was already discussed here.

For what it is worth, I did not have a kernel panic at step #8, I did however have a BusyBox hang with no adverse effect.

I did have one other strange issue occur. In the final step #15 after I did the wipe I was not able to access the files on my SD card to continue with the ZIP flash. In a moment of panic I thought that I had wiped the external SD because while I was able to navigate it in TWRP it didn't show any files. I rebooted and re-inserted my card several times to the same effect. I got around this easily enough my simply copying the "EMMC_15_VZW_QB2_STOCK_MAGISK_ROOT.zip" file from my PC to the internal storage to finish the process.

After flashing the QI2 ROM update I reflashed TWRP via Odin and when I went back in I could see everything on my SD fine. I don't know why this happened and it isn't an issue now, but wanted to mention it in case anyone else found themselves in a similar situation.

Thanks to everyone who worked on development for this and continue to update/support. I was able to take care of this relatively easily with the input from the community.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] Natesroom:
So i got it to work... If i want to install a different Rom (i dont like samsung) What do i do. Also is there any way to get rid of the Red verizon spplash screen and the OS telling me the sim card is not a verizon card? Basically i want to get rid of any trace of Verizon.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] Ryukashin:
I got rid of the no sim with an app called notificationsoff as for the other stuff I don't know exactly. I'm having trouble installing things because of a conflict with magisk in the OP's QB2 he gave us. I plan on switching to one of the Roms once I have a free day to have work on my phone again.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] googlephoneFKLenAsh:
I have G900VVRU2DPD1 with unlocked bootloader and twrp 3.0.0-0.

Can I flash the

Developer Bootloader Friendly/No Aboot No-Wipe Firmware:

G900VVRU2DQI2_G900VVZW2DQI2_G900VVRU2DQI2_HOME_No_ Aboot.tar.md5.zip from this link https://xdaforums.com/ver...e-qi2-t3688046 ?

If yes, after flashing, will my bootloader remain PD1 unlocked? Is it OK to have unlocked PD1 bootloader with DQI2 firmware?

Do I need to upgrade the unlocked bootloader from PD1 to a new unlocked bootloader?

If so, what is the newest unlocked bootloader? In the OP, I can see the latest one is QA1.

Will the TWRP and root be lost? And how I can get back TWRP? Using ODIN? If root is lost then can not use flashify to flash TWRP.

If using odin to flash TWRP, then I can just flash supersu zip in zip to get root back, right?

Thanks.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] chuckRN:
hi guys.

okay, so i tried rooting my sm-g900v mm 6.0.6 dpf4 with this method unfortunately, i failed. sorry, i wasn't able to copy the message on odin. So, i unplugged my device, took out the battery and booted up the phone to download mode. Instead of seeing the "warning" message, there's only static on the display. I mean I don't see anything other than static.

Tried booting up to recovery, still the same. Tried booting up the phone normally, still the same.

Do you have any idea what is wrong? If yes, do you know any possible solutions to it?

TIA
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] Natesroom:
I'm super new to this and i got no answers for you guys. However the Rooting worked for me, i followed samej71 directions and booted Lineage on my s5... took care of the Red Splash screen, looks great and is working like a charm. I need to Activate on a network and see how it works calling.

Help! Magisk is unstable!!!

I keep getting a SIM card error when I go to use mobile hotspot. Then my service no longer works on verizon this happens after about half a day. I uninstall all the bloatware on the rom. I have to keep re-installing the stock rooted MAGISK rom. Each day I have to redo my phone. I would like to downgrade back to kitkat if possible? My old baseband version was G900VVRU1ANCG. When I flashed to get on MM and unlock bootloader it changed my baseband!

Also there is no way to format my external sd card as external and therefore I am not able to make backups of my roms. Xposed when flashed my phone gets stuck on the verizon boot screen for hours. I WISH I NEVER FLASHED MARSHMELLOW AND STAYED ON KITKAT!!! I should have researched it more in depth! :(

I REALLY need a stable rom especially since i'm going on a 2 week trip away from home to visit family and friends.

---------- Post added at 09:27 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:24 PM ----------

I unfortunately flashed from KK and regret it! I'm looking for a way to flash back to KK actually.TR v2 should work for you it did for me. Magisk 6.01 comes pre-rooted and you have to flash it in twrp safestrap recovery .

SIM card error and thanks

HI Kevin. Thank you for the quick reply. Before I begin with thw twrp download from the play store. How do I avoid the Insert SIM card error issue? It disrupts my verizon service and I keep having to reinstall Magisk. Can I downgrade my firmware and get back to Kitkat 4.4.2? I'm currently downloading the original firmware that matches my old baseband the phone came with when shipped!

I read that 87.2 is the one to use but I tried that and had the same issue with flashing xposed. It was instructed not to use 88 on the Galaxy S5.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] Droid9684:
I downloaded the app you mentioned but i'm not sure how to use it exactly. When I got the no sim error notification my verizon service was disrupted and would not return. I keep having to reflash Magisk rom each time. Did you have the same issue?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] kevin98208:
I did not have any SIM card issues. My issue was that I could see and write to the SD card while in the operating system, but when I went to TWRP I couldn't see the SD card. Upgrading TWRP fixed that. As for the no sin error, that I have no idea about. Sorry.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] Droid9684:
Well for now it seems the rom for me is not stable. I have to revert back to kitkat until next month when I return from my trip. I was reading how to flah older firmware in odin. I'm going to try to do that later on providing the firmware downloads from the internet successfully and I dont lose my internet connection. I have a backup saved for kitkat which then I hope I'll be able to return to for the meantime.

I had the same issue regarding the external sd card not showing up in twrp. It was aggravating and I would have to remember to transfer the zip files to the internal before I went into recovery. I did install the new TWRP from the play store and flashed the correct zip. I went to storage afterwards to format my extra sd card and it wont format as internal. Still has the option only as portable.

Hello All,

I have the Verizon Samsung S5 and I decided to take the plunge and root the phone. I have downloaded and followed the CID# 15 steps on page 1. Steps 1-12 work with no issues. At step 13, when I reboot into recovery and install "EMMC_15_SafeStrap_QB2_6_0_1_MM_Bootloader_Unlock_A IO.zip", the phone turns off as it's suppose to do. When I reboot the phone via Pwr+VolUp+Home, it boots into recovery but then displays "Custom binary blocked by Reactivation Lock. Secure Fail: Recovery. When I try to restart without recovery, the phone will vibrate in a sequence until the battery dies. I am able to restart steps 1-12 via odin, so this tells me the phone is not bricked. May someone please help me with these issues.

Update: I was able to get it to work by loading a stock firmware and un-checking the samsung security box.

Thank You

Alan
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] Ryukashin:
So for the app, you run it, grant it SuperSu access, then find System UI and uncheck the box and push save. This will disable the system notifications including the "No SIM" message. As for service, I can't say since my S5 doesn't have service anyway, I just use it for gaming.

Magisk doesn't work for me, I tried redoing the entire process three times and never got magisk to actually work. I can't flash any mods (like Dolby Atmos) in TWRP because magisk is not v14 and it won't let me update magisk either. At some point when I have time, I plan to follow one of the posts and flash a custom rom or mini MM rom.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] Flashing In Public:
Does anyone know if this method is safe if i have the QI2 update? I read that the QI2 bootloader is somewhat identical to the QH2, but i just want to be sure before i get stuck spending hours trying to figure out how to unbrick.

Also, if i do somehow brick, what firmware could i flash to get back to stock?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] Flashing In Public:

[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] chuckRN:
okay. so i'm following every step to the dot. but when i get to the step where safestrap needs to be installed, it installs fine it says in the app: "newer version installed", then i click on reboot recovery, the phone just does not reboot. I boot it up to recovery mode manually by pressing power+vol down+home, but it boots the stock recovery. when i try to boot normally, it says "safestrap disabled...continue...reboot".

can anybody help me out with this? or maybe point me in the right direction?

i installed the safestrapkk.apk from the root s5 folder, triplechecked that busybox is installed.

i've tried everything i could think of and i've been trying for days to no success. just don't know what else to do.
