Hi, I attach y previus post, hopefully someone may help me too, thank you

Quote:

Hi everyone, it passed almost one year since I worked hard to learn how to flash my S5 with CID11 Toshiba to 6.01 unlocked and unrooted, and since it wasn't possible to update anything better I lost interest and I forgot most of this process and meanings of terms used here.

Now my questions are simple:

1) can I exactly flash my phone with these updates?

2) I used safestrap and I even lost a big amount of space of internal flash.. how could I recover it, wipe everything and luckly have the updated version with more space available?

3) Does this version supports a different sim card than Verizon?

Thank you
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] erw38:
Thanks for the updated software. I flashed the new modem on RR and it works well. Thanks again!
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] smokerbond:
Can this firmware be flashed on 5.0 based ROMs (PB1 and earlier) ?

Or will this only work for 6.0 based roms (post PB1)?

I know you can't flash earlier firmware, but I was not sure if the same holds for newer firmware.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] Kaliaila:
Would the same be true for Magisk in place of SuperSU?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] Barabba11:
may somebody kindly help me? thanks

Hi, thanks for reply, I hope you can help me.

I read there carefully, nothing about how to update a CID 11 to a more recent update like QD1. I've also asked ad waited 2 weeks without success, I hope you can help :)

Unfortunately have a try without knowing what we're doing may becoe several hours of work, each time starting from zero and redo. Would be great to hear your experience here before!

1) first question is: can be QD1 installed on V900 CID11? Developer Bootloader Friendly? If yes, via Safestrap? I suppose it is needed to wipe all data before, and I'm not sure if SS let us doing it.

2) I've installed MM with safestrap procedure, is it enough now to boot under safestrap, flashing NI2_stock_kernel.tar.md5, and from there wipe and install QD1?

3) after flashing QD1, it is possible to flash VZW_QA1_STOCK_ROOTED_DEODEXED.zip to debloat QD1?

Thank you!!
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] Kaliaila:
Last I knew, Verizon galaxy S5s with CID 11 still do not have their bootloaders unlocked, and because of this cannot be rooted for either build you mentioned.

If you are stock then you can get the newest build (QD1) OTA. If you want a debloated version though you will need to find a debloat QD1 file to flash. Flashing a QA1 file will take you back to QA1.

Perhaps since it has been a couple months since Verizon has updated it, someone might have one you can flash.

On a related note, [MENTION=1949695]jrkruse[/MENTION] is there a deodexed debloated Magick rooted out somewhere?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] martytoo:
Thanks for this advice everyone. The hardest part for me was to realize I had to get into the "Download" mode to use this method. It worked like a charm and saved me a load of time. I was thinking I had to go back to MarshMallow stock and then install the developer addition files to get to the TWRP. By using 7zip and this method I was able to update my modem with very little energy on my part.

:good:
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] martytoo:
Can the bootloader friendly version be installed with TWRP or do you need to use Odin or Flashfire and Safestrap?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] martytoo:
Can you flash this update from TWRP or did you use Odin or another method? Thank you.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] nictabor:
I flashed via TWRP after making a backup.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] martytoo:
Thank you.

When you did this did your phone/radio baseband update to QD1? (I think there might be issues with some of my system files and am hoping that this update might fix those issues.)
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] nictabor:
Everything updated, and it was on Verizon software again. I did the no boatloader copy, so then I went back and restored via TWRP.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] martytoo:
I'm lost as I wiped and then tried to install this with TWRP and got a message that it was it was an invalid zip file format. What was my error?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] GeTex:
You need to make it clear now that anyone with an official Verizon S5 dev edition should NOT FLASH the dev aboot you posted unless they want to brick Their device. Assuming you based it on the aboot used in the bootloader thread

To everyone else, if your phone turns on, you didn't brick it with the bootloader, if it's bricked, it with have no sign of life! Regarding jrkruse making a QD4 rom, we shall see, he isn't touching the S5 platform much anymore. If you need I can begin producing the roms. I still actively maintain the KLTEVZW platform, tag me when you need me. I don't have much time but I try!
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] martytoo:
I don't understand this in 2 ways. If we manually made our phones a dev edition is this what you are calling "an official Verizon S5 dev edition"?

I have TWRP that I added by the method to make the phone a developer edition clone so to speak. Can I use Odin to flash the aboot update on the original post?

Seems like I'm losing brain cells as I am more lost than yesterday.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] GeTex:
If you unlocked your device then yes.

All dev aboots make a cid check, which is why we had to change the cid. Devs cannot even use each other's aboots. If you are using a cloned cid it's fine but anyone with an official dev device would brick as the cid would be a mismatch
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] martytoo:
I'm still not sure after your answer and do not want to brick. (I'm not sure which of my questions you are answering.)

Am I OK to use it? I unlocked it with the instructions on xda so I'm assuming I'm not "official" and I can use it.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] GeTex:
If you had to "unlock it" you aren't using an official dev device :)
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] martytoo:
How can I give you 30 likes for one post??

Thanks.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] GeTex:
No problem

Also just find 30 of my posts and hit thanks lol
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] martytoo:
I am really at a loss here. I did the update with the aboot file and odin and now I have a phone that won't boot (stuck on the Verizon screen) and I don't have TWRP. So what should I do to get back to:

1) A working phone

2) Can I get the dev edition TWRP back?

Thanks for any help from anyone - not bricked but still I need help.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] GeTex:
Boot into TWRP and flash a rom. Otherwise just revert aboots.

The thing is if you are on a dev edition device it normally will not allow you to flash a new bootloader since the bootloader partition is write protected, only if you flash stock recovery and a stock kernel will the phone allow writing to the aboot... It's stupid
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] martytoo:
It finally booted. I had to wipe cache and factory reset and wait over 10 minutes. But now I do not have TWRP even though I used the aboot version. So I assume I have to go through the whole re-root and then give myself back the TWRP.

Can I do this? I have Android Recovery MMB29M.G900VVRS2DQD1

This isn't as bad as I thought. At least it isn't a brick.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] GeTex:
first check

do you have root...?

if you do then it's not so bad

if not do you have a developer edition aboot still?

if you don't then it's a long hike to start over

if you do have a dev aboot, flash twrp via odin, then just flash a supersu or magisk zip
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] martytoo:
I was really mixed up. I didn't see TWRP and thought that meant I lost the DEV edition. So I am looking in the recovery area and it seems stock. In the download screen it gives me the warning about a custom OS. The next screen says I have the developer edition.

I don't see a download for TWRP for the Verizon S5 on xda. The JKRuse method it what I thought I had to try.

I found TWRP.

https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=...142a31ec97071e46aa99055b57c0db9087bbcb3075b12

Do I simply unzip it and then make a TAR archive and install the TAR? That didn't work on first try.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] GeTex:
go to twrp for the file

download the tar, flash in ap box
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] martytoo:
I finally found it here:

https://twrp.me/devices/samsunggalaxys5qualcomm.html
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] Dudash:
I'm confused. Was this aimed at me?

If so, first off, I never posted a dev aboot.

Second, I don't include an aboot in any of the "Dev Friendly" versions of the firmwares I post. That's why they're "Dev Friendly". No aboot = won't lock your bootloader.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] GeTex:
i thought these had aboot's... herp derp

Dear GeTex you can be sure I'll like you 30 times as well if you can assembly a qd1 KLTEVZW version for our locked bootloader S5.. God bless you for this. Thanks in advance
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] GeTex:
There already is, thats how we got this update

do you mean a dev bootloader? I worked on it but it's nearly impossible... I can't unlock the emmc 11 devices as of now. There's a workaround but it's.... scary
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] Barabba11:
Yes I mean cid11, honestly I'm not that expert to say you "yes dev bootloader" cause I don't know what it really is.. what I mean is to have on cid11 the QD1, somehow, I have the PD4 with safestrap already installed and I would update phone. As I know, you may confirm me, the latest I can put is the QA1 By jrkruse, right?

Oh if you just want a deodexed and de bloated QD1 yeah I can work on that!
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] martytoo:
This seemed to happen to me,too. I assume you have brought your phone back from it's sick state. If not, I'll tell you that I needed multiple tries (with battery pulls) at more than 10 minutes each before it finally booted. I had to do a factory reset and after many more minutes it did boot.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] KazuDante:
i just flashed stock bp1 and went back to crdroid , sadly many rom devs are not updating the modem files , and qd1 bootloader is not unlocked(if im not mistaken).
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] martytoo:
You can use Odin to install just the modem. It is easy to make the file with 7zip. Use the download zipped file from the original post.

Use 7zip to unzip it. Copy modem.bin from the unzipped files to a new location on your PC. Right click on that modem.bin file and choose add to archive under the 7zip dialog. When the window appears choose .tar instead of .zip or any other extension. Save the .tar archive.

Use this tar file with Odin to update your radio/modem.

As an aside, the reason that I installed this update (the full update from the OP) is that as soon as I add lock screen security to any Nougat ROM except Cosmic the phone locks up after a time. It happens with a pin code and with a pattern security unlock.

I hoped this update would cure the lock up. It didn't. So I seem to have a choice of Marshmallow or Cosmic (which is stuck on 7.11 with no issues planned and a rotation control bug).

I also seem to be the only one afaik that has mentioned this problem on XDA. I wonder if I have a flaw on my phone or if it has different components.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] Kaliaila:
[MENTION=5414005]GeTex[/MENTION] is there a Deodexed , debloated, and rooted (preferably with Magick) version of QD1 around?

Also, for the QD1 bootloader, can we still go through what we used to do to unlock it or is there an unlocked version of it somewhere as well?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] GeTex:
not really

and we need to make an update
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] KazuDante:
thaats weird because i use lockscreen sec as well but i never encounter that type of problem on any nougat rom
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] martytoo:
I'm not giving up yet. I just reinstalled Lineage and disabled and uninstalled quite a few apps including Ultimate Car Dock which is an app that has fairly intrusive control of the phone.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] martytoo:
This has me so crazy I'm talking to (replying to) myself.

Here is a picture of what i they screen looks like when I can't get the phone to respond. I did receive a call today in this situation and the phone was able to take the incoming call. There was no lock screen chosen when I had the problem. (No pattern or pin or swipe chosen.)

https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BxhxEZzV_giJWjYzWnA3elQ5VkM1STh0bkJPS0pVX2FOOHJn/view?usp=drivesdk

Again, this has happened on this phone with every Nougat ROM except Cosmic (which is no longer being updated for my S5)

HELP!

?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] Barabba11:
My friend, thank you for your kind offer.

Before asking this I would know your opinion about this question:

Does it have sense to build up a deodexed and de bloated QD1 and still in stock ROM instead to choose the QA1 PhoeniX ROM V15.0? I mean, what between these two you would flash in your phone? (If the benefits of Phoenix may be appreciated more then official stock)

I've read, but I could be wrong, that QD1 update consist only on the modem.bin file. What about if we flash only this file after PhoeniX ROM V15.0 QA1?

Thank you
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] GeTex:
yes you can do just that
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] phillyvapor:

Hey all,

I have a nice case and glass screen protector but I kinda need something with port covers ie- headphone and charging ports. I work in a dusty environment. I really don't want a pain in the ass case to take off since I have a spare battery I swap out.
[LG V20 Accessories] rubiicon59:

I'm just worries about the charging port and headphone jack getting crap in them. Should I not be?
[LG V20 Accessories] rubiicon59:
If your work environment is bad enough for you to be concerned about dust ingress then you're right to be concerned. I'd suggest maybe using a cheapo phone at work.

Dust won't be particular about where it enters so all openings are vulnerable. If it was me I'd certainly not want to risk my V20.

Well I work for parks down here in Florida. It can get dusty at times. It's not like I work in a machine shop that has particulates flying about. I think I am being more anal than anything lol

---------- Post added at 12:37 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:28 PM ----------

But seriously, it doesn't sound as bad as what you made it in your OP. So I wouldn't worry too much about the dust aspect, as long as you've got a decent case on it for drop protection I'd guess it should be OK.

[T-Mobile LG G4] metropical:
seem to be having a tough time of an 8hr day with about an hour of SoT at 45%.
[T-Mobile LG G4] vgamesx1:
From my experience with the stock rom, yeah that's pretty normal, as for any rom? Dunno, but I've been having a similar experience, sometimes overnight my phone will drop as little as 2% other times it can be upwards of 10% quite annoying especially when I know with minimal tweaks Android can get great battery life, as low as 2% per day, but I haven't rooted or installed roms yet so I can't do that.
[T-Mobile LG G4] br0adband:
Are you using a stock LG battery, perhaps the one that came with the G4 itself? Have you pulled the battery and checked the date code on it? There could be two dozen reasons for that kind of battery life you're experiencing, the first thing I'd suspect would be the battery's actual age since the G4 is now at least 2 years old (released in May 2015) so depending your particular phone's manufacturing date and the date code on the battery itself that's something to check into.

That potential, plus screen brightness, how much stuff is going on in the background, your cellular signal quality (weaker signals make the radio pull more power to maintain a connection), whether or not you use Wi-Fi whenever possible (saves on battery compared to weak signal cellular, HSPA+ or LTE doesn't matter - and having "full bars" is not enough of an indicator either), having the NFC enabled as your pic shows you do all the time when it's not needed probably the vast majority of it (and should only be enabled on an as-needed basis), the particular stock ROM you're using (even down to particular builds) or custom ROMs using some stock components (like debloated ones), absolutely everything goes into it to be honest.

There's just no one answer to this, unfortunately, and tweaking things for the best or the longest battery life on any modern device like the G4 is a dark art and black science all unto itself. :D

Check the date code on the battery you have, if it's older than one calendar year then I'd say look for something better, perhaps something like the TQTHL 5000 mAh battery which has a lot more capacity obviously but it's still the same size as the stock battery so it won't require a custom back cover or extended case to use it. Also, if you do get such a battery that has more than the stock battery's 3000 mAh rating you're going to need to get an external charger - the G4 itself (based on stock ROMs of any and all kinds) will stop charging an extended capacity battery at 3000 mAh and that's that. You have to get an external cradle or charger to get the full capacity charge (there's more info about this in the thread in the Accessories subforum about the extended batteries testing.

Suffice to say it can take some tweaking to eek out the best battery life you can muster with a G4, especially if it's pure stock (but there are some custom kernels for stock ROMs also which can be tweaked nicely for longer battery life too if you're able to unlock the bootloader on your given device (not everybody can obviously).

My FRD-L14 was stuck at boot logo. I kept trying the volume keys + power button combo in able to enter eRecovery and dload flash but can't until it drained my battery. Now I charged my phone for almost 3 hours but its always on the red light. Low battery won't let me go to eRecovery it just shows the red thunder icon after polding volume up and power button. (Yep I disconnect the power cord when trying to boot into recovery)

I dont have custom recovery cos I did rollback to MM.

EDIT: Nevermind. I think it was because the phone is trying to boot which drains battery. But my phone is now okay. Bootloop gone :D
