Oh man you are totally welcome. I have to also recommend resurrection remix. This is my absolute favorite and can be themed to the harts content by downloading the substratum app from the play store. I would also very highly recommend you use magisk.

The last official rr build is from the 31st of last year because Oreo is coming out soon for our device :):good:

[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] davelebon:
Thanks a ton for the quick guidance.

I took what I see as a conservative choice -- and installed lineage 14.1 with opengapps mini 7.1 and skipped the su add-on and I'm super pleased. OMG what an improvement for this phone. Like someone recently said the opening animation is great on it's own, but doubly-so because it isn't that annoying orange verizon logo. Finally -- free of the chains of verizon's horribly modified bloated and limited OS. As well as Samsung's crap too.

I was able to fix my "not sending callerid" issue because there's an available option in the lineage to force the issue (calling app/vertical ellipses menu/settings/calls/gsm call settings/additional settings/"show number" instead of "network default") which says to me it's a carrier issue (since I'm roaming with an out-of-country carrier) -- and further troubleshooting on the sms send issue seems like it's also carrier-related and it seems only isolated to one recipient. Clearly not anything to do with the rom in the build here or lineage.

I think I will switch to resurrection, it looks great! Planning to do it in a few minutes. Hoping all goes well! Edit: Booted up, Setting it up now. Using magisk, gapps, and sound boost_v1 . Everything is working fine! Excited to check out the themes. Thank you so much my guy. You're the most helpful person I've encountered on XDA yet. If I could thank your posts multiple times I would haha.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] swiftbones74:
No worries bro. Its totally my pleasure, I struggled to figure out so much of this on my own. It fells good to be able to share the wealth now. One thing is for sure, I will never tell anyone to use touchwiz if they don't need to. Good luck and I'm sure will see you around the threads.

If I have eMMC number as 15, do I want to upgrade to stock MM first? Phone is currently at 5.0.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] Darkmaster83:
I would recommend it, just to make the process as smooth as possible.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] iglebacri:
Thanks for the guide. It works flawlessly in my Galaxy G900V.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] Helltech:
After going through the process for 15, not 11, Magisk manager says Magisk isn't installed?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] Darkmaster83:
Credit to [MENTION=8135223]swiftbones74[/MENTION] for this. I would recommend installing lieageos 14.1 for klte it works flawlessly for SM-G900V and it's on nougat instead of marshmallow. I also recommend resurrection remix (basically improved lineage). Just do a full wipe (titanium backup first if you want) and then follow the instructions

LineageOS: https://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s5/unified-development/rom-cyanogenmod-14-0-galaxy-s5-android-t3476433

Resurrection Remix: https://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s5/unified-development/rom-resurrection-remix-n-klte-t3510376
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] Helltech:
And that will give me Magisk?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] Darkmaster83:
If you use the resurrection remix you can choose to flash root with either magisk or su. I'm not sure about basic lineage. I would recommend using resurrection remix for magisk. Just follow the instructions for resurrection remix in the link I gave in my previous post. The thread includes the download links and instructions for flashing it with magisk or su.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] Helltech:
It says I have to factory reset, won't that wipe custom recovery?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] Darkmaster83:
No, not if you go to TWRP click wipe and just swipe for the full wipe, it will not wipe CR. Ive done it multiple times.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] Helltech:
So I just swipe for factory reset, flash RR, flash Gapps, Flash Magisk, reboot?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] Darkmaster83:
Yep that should do it! And don't forget to press thr thank button on my post and swiftbones74's post on the previous page.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] Helltech:
So is "wipe data" the same as factory reset? Is that all I need to wipe?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] Darkmaster83:
Just go ahead and click advanced wipe, and wipe everything except for microsd and USB storage
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] Helltech:
Thank you so much!

[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] Joe333x:
Is there any way to tell if a phone is CID11 or CID15 by IMEI or something? I want to purchase a used Verizon S5 on ebay but only if I can install TWRP. How about color, is there a better chance of getting a CID15 in black or white?

[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] Joe333x:
I found a convenient little app in the market that can quickly check the CID no root required. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=biz.bi3.microsdcidreader

I've tested it on multiple phones and its definitely accurate. Since its on the market it makes it a little easier to convince an ebay seller to use it to check the cid, thats how I found myself a nice 15 for my gf. Figured I'd post it incase anyone else is trying to pick up a 15. It does seem you may have a higher chance of a white model being a 15 than a black but there are definitely white 11s out there too.

[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] Joe333x:
Thanks hopefully one of them will reply, I appreciate it. I just really enjoy lollipop over marshmallow. Its always been very stable and it was the last version that wanam xposed app works for. I'm personally on tmo so I've always had seandroid set to permissive but Im currently setting up an vzw s5 for my gf and have everything perfect except that. I was able to get se set to permissive using the boeffla kernel but id like to keep the stock kernel if possible. Is there any real advantage of having it set to permissive? Any particular root apps that work better?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] Ibuprophen:
There's various XPosed Modules, Apps and other developments that require a devices SELinux State to permanently be set in Permissive Mode via the devices Boot Scripts.

With that stated, there's those that doesn't require the SELinux State to be changed permanently but, only upon demand.

The following development of mine does not make these permanent changes within the devices Boot Script but, only upon demand.

Personally, I rarely have the need to have my device set to Permissive Mode but, once in a while, I do need it set upon demand.

Take a look at the OP (and read it) to see if it's something that you can, hopefully, use.

[APP][TOOL][4.2+][OFFICIAL]The SELinux Switch by Ibuprophen

If you have any further questions or concerns, regarding that specific development, please post it on that thread and I (or another member) will do the best to help you out.

Just keep in mind that, like many developments, there's no guarantee that it will work/the best option for everyone.

Good Luck!

[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] klabit87:
Not being rude but if you have to ask if there is an advantage to permissive then you don't need permissive.

But no there is no real advantage, if anything it's a disadvantage.

SELinux is a security feature.

But I might have the kernel source on my github where I have disabled it for testing.

I will have to look or you can look if you choose.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] Joe333x:
I only asked simply because I've never had a device that is set to permissive, I personally use tmobile and have had the luxury of always being able to have an unlocked bootloader and flash custom kernels, my current S5 has been set to permissive since I got it. I have tons of different root apps and xposed modules that I use and would also like to use on my GFs phone which i just got for her but she has verizon, I was lucky enough to find a 15 model so i could unlock the bootloader and install twrp. I have pretty much set her phone up identical to mine besides being set to permissive and i just wanted to make sure that it wouldn't conflict with anything and I have had 0 issues having mine always set to permissive so I figured Id do the same for hers. Thank you for checking for me let me know if you find anything.

Thank you, I tried your app but unfortunately it did not work on her phone, it still stay as enforcing. So far it seems all the root apps and xposed modules I have installed havent had an issue with it beint enforcing though. Any particular apps you know of that require permissive to work correctly?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] Ibuprophen:
To be honest... If you are not running into any situations that would require the SELinux State to be changed, then it would be safe to state that you don't need your device to be in Permissive Mode.

I, personally, rarely require my device to be in Permissive Mode and I don't like to encourage it unless the need arises.

SELinux (Security Enhanced Linux) is a specific security feature that requires a Custom Kernel for altering its State.

Too many individuals confuse it with Root. Root itself does not require the SELinux State to be altered in order for a device to be Rooted.

I hope I had explained this okay via text... :)

Hey everyone. New here just joined.

Been a phone modder for many years. Used to be a moto modder.

Anyhoo. Just wanted to thank JRKRUSE for the fantastic job on the S5 work.

I do hope you still monitor this. And to say everything worked perfect on my S5 and I have the cid 11 model. To tell, I bought brand new old stock Verizon S5 factory sealed last week and it came with MM 6.0. Cant stand it. Well I didnt know about the locked bootloader when I started working on it. I flashed LL PB1 5.0. no prob. It went fine till the next day it darned near forced me to upgrade to MM.

Of course I tried to root with no success and thats when I found the bad news about the bootloader, Checked over at the other forum,(howard) I havent visited in awhile when I worked with Motos. No luck and remembered you guys here at XDA.

So here is my dilemma now. Iam at LL PB1 with everything from your original post and it works just fine. I do however have an issue that I cant resolve. In your re-worked PB1 rom with safestrap embedded, The screen mirror feature in the notification panel has disappeared. I always put it at the top with my mostly used ones. This happens to be a feature I use quit a bit beaming my phone to a 55" HD TV.

So how to get it back? I thought about modding the script file but couldnt fine the reference to the screen mirror icon notification in the script where things are being deleted. Mind that this is an in-built function with SS and not really an app as such even though it has an APK. And then again didnt want to mess things up if I reflashed and screwed up the script somehow. I tried to install the APK from my other phone but it wouldnt install as the original APK is still there just inaccessable now.

You also did a great job getting rid of the crapware VZ and SS put on it. Noticed all the update stuff is gone too. I was hoping the SS SDM was gone, yaa. Rooted my S4 sometime years back and manually removed all that stuff and took forever.

So I would be most gracious to you if you could assist with this.

My first post here and end up with a long winded one. Sorry.

Thanks again !

I usd his post to root my device. Here is what I have on the Phone after the rooting:

SM90V

Android 5.0

Kernal 3.4.0

Bulid g900vvro23PB1

I assume the bootloader is still 11 vs 15

How now do I upgrade to Noguart ROM or something better than the current version. I tried to se safestrap and to install a rom from xda but the device stuck on the booting page for a long time. I hade to start the process all over agian to get the phne back.

Thanks for the help
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] Wlmitty:
From what I have read the S5 can only upgrade to Marshmallow 6.0.

I didn't like MM and went down to LL 5.0 PB1 which is what you have.

I'm still trying to figure out why the screen mirror is gone from the notification panel.

There must be something in the de-bloat or knox removal that killed it.

I can still get to it thru settings but its a long drawn out process to get to it.

Wish someone could chime in on a fix.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] SupraLance:
swiftbones, you do realize he's talking about an CID11 phone right? You've given me a glimmer of hope, but is it true or do you have an CID15 phone? I read the quote below in another thread and took it as gospel, but I would much rather you be right...

What custom ROMs I can use

Sorry if this is a noob ?

but after rooting and unlocking my bootloader its a qb2 BL. Am I limited to qb2 custom ROMs and if so where can I find them. I'm sorry but Ive looked all over the site with no luck. I used your and apt logic's methed. G900v, mm
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] swiftbones74:
You can use any current lineage or lineage based ROM for KLTE. That is to say Resurrection Remix, AICP, CR-DROID or AOKP. I need to make it clear to you and anyone else that reads this, that you MUST HAVE A UNLOCKED BOOTLOADER. Being rooted alone is not enough to be able to flash android open source project (AOSP), / lineage OS, q( los) ROMs. Don't be afraid to ask questions I the forum of the ROM you would like to flash. I recommend sticking with Nougat ROMs for now because Oreo is still fairly bugged for the s5. Good luck and always do your homework because if mess up your phone its on you.

You should be fine and will most likely realize that your phone will be better than new on aosp.

[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] swiftbones74:
for sure you should have. The combination is Power + Volume UP + Home. If was once unlocked and you didn't do anything to silly you should be golden.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] bbsc:
"MODE: Developer" in Odin mode means unlocked bootloader (see attachment).

Working (not installed only, but operational) TWRP means unlocked bootloader.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] barcia99:
My binary says custom though not official. I was under the impression that it needed to say official and mode developer to be unlocked. Or is official when it's rooted. Thanks
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] Ibuprophen:
I believe that if you had Unlocked the Bootloader but, kept the Stock Kernel, Recovery & Firmware, it will still reflect Official.

I may be wrong about this and it would be great if someone could confirm or clarify this.

So I flashed two G900Vs the roms are working good. However, I have to return one of the phones due to screen problems(not related to the flash or anything, the seller gave me a crappy phone). Can I flash a regular stock rom in Odin to return the phone back to normal, with no knox trips? Do I need any kind of unroot? Its a Cid 11 phone.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] Ibuprophen:
I was successful on a friend's G900V but, it had a CID15 and I can't think of any reason why it wouldn't work on a CID11 in the same fashion.

You can find locate all the Stock Firmware and PIT for the G900V on the following thread.

[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] Ibuprophen:
I'm just thinking "outside the box" here for a moment.

You may want to do, what I call, a "Full Device and Firmware Comparison"...

Write down the Device Model and Firmware Number from all the following places (and others if you think of it).

1) In your "About" location via the very bottom within the device Settings menu.

2) Behind your Battery on the White Samsung Label.

3) Boot into "Download Mode" (aka Odin Mode) and the information above the big green android guy. The information is very small and you may need a magnifying glass. You can reboot normally afterwards.

I'm pretty sure there's other places but, I personally believe that those are the primary 3 locations to look.

See if all the information is the same. I've been surprised myself when I've done this on occasion.

I'm just going by a hunch...

These are two files for LP and MM target system.

I'm sure QA1 was simply updated with QB2, so you should use QB2.
