Your situation prompted me to confirm what I knew and others that you can see on the recent posts on the following thread...

https://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2259645

... I just wanted to state that if your devices bootloader was already unlocked and the device wasn't bricked (or similar) then you should not need to update the bootloader or it'll lock it up again and, potentially, can even cause FRP issues as well. Luckily your FRP didn't trip and the device was able to be unlocked again.

I have the same device that was unlocked a long time ago and never ever needed its bootloader updated.

Your question regarding the Baseband Modem Updates...

Those are the Modem files extracted from the stock Firmware and only updates the devices Modem. That controls the WiFi, Carrier Data, etc...

This is similar to updating the Drivers for something specific on a PC (like the PC LAN, WiFi, Video Card, etc... ).

When you had flashed what you did on your device, you basically flashed an optimized version of the Stock Firmware. This is why you saw the Samsung Boot Screen.

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

[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] Nerva:
I'm curious, if the bootloader version has so little importance for us custom-ROM users, why does Samsung/Verizon update their bootloader versions -- to what purpose?

It looks like this website will generate a cf-auto-root package for QL1:

https://desktop.firmware.mobi/device:840/firmware:14884

I'm wondering if I flash that with Odin, would it upgrade my current unlocked QB2 to an unlocked QL1?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] Ibuprophen:
I'm not stating that Bootloaders doesn't get updated upon themselves but, they specifically seldom require it.

One way to look at it is that the function of the bootloader is allot like the BIOS of a PC. They both handle the boot process and seldomly require to be updated specifically.

When a new Stock Firmware version is released, the bootloader is only updated accordingly to reflect the updates of the firmware. This reflection is to protect the device from being updated to an incompatible firmware version.

In short, when the bootloader is unlocked, the bootloader still protects the device from an incompatible firmware from being installed but, it being unlocked just bypasses the "Samsung Stock firmware only" restriction.

TWRP is just the conduit between the Firmware and the bootloader that just handles the communication between the bootloader and the Firmware.

.

If you flash the firmware, your just going to relock your bootloader and be back to stock.

To get the QL1, just flash the Baseband Modem Update from the following link and you'll be good to go and you'll see this in your device info.

Is there any way to get Magisk to properly work with this bootloader friendly stock rom? The kernal is showing 3.4.0 and from what I've randomly read in some thread it needs to be on 3.8+ to function properly. Right now Magisk is flashed and manager is working/I have root but the hide feature does not work and almost every module refuses to flash (magisk_merge.img mount failed error every time). I am trying to get the PNC banking app to work but it detects root and shuts down.

Phone is a 900V.05 on U2DQL1 w/unlocked boatloader w/TWRP recovery installed.

The magisk error log is:

- Mounting /data/adb/magisk_merge.img to /dev/tmp/magisk_img

Cannot mount image!

[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] BigBird9906:
I finally got around to doing this. Thanks, Silent Patriot, for putting it out there. I have rooted a couple of phones but never updated them once rooted. Probably a lazy bad habit and I'll get on that more regularly.

I did a little learning by braille as I went along. I was surprised when it came back to life after flashing the ROM and TWRP via Odin that all my old apps were there because all my prior work was wiping things clean, but I get it now. I left it alone for a bit, did NOT do the factory reset before updating Magisk, because I had to hit the road. I will come back to it later for a clean install if I it seems to need it or if I get super motivated. Several things that were working poorly on my old QB2 ROM are better now.

My current guess is that with TWRP and Magisk / Magisk Manager, this no longer needs the other heavy duty stuff I picked up along the way (see my Post #10 for details) like SuperSU and FlashFire. I have uninstalled those. I'm not sure about BusyBox, the app shows in the app list but it and the Root Checker say it is not installed. Should it be?

I'm still trying to find a good way to backup and move from phone to phone, or from old phone to reset clean same old phone. Titanium Backup cautions it prefers SuperSU over Magisk, and I guess there are other finicky things with it that suggest you're better off doing the hard work of just reinstalling everything, +/- now Google Play is a bit better at saving settings. Any tips there?

Anyway, back to the main point, thanks again Silent Patriot. On this very patriotic day.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] BigBird9906:
FYI:

- I'm having no joy getting this to work with latest Magisk Manager 5.8.0 which opens to its splash screen and becomes unresponsive. I tried many times, went back and factory reset, uninstall and reinstall MM, etc. No joy.

- I seem to be OK using Magisk Manager 5.6.3 and Magisk 16.0
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] fiodorpugach:
I had the same trouble. I upgraded Magisk Manager to 5.8.0, and then I had to do factory reset and reinstall Magisk Manager 5.6.3. Half day was lost! Magisk Manager 5.8.0 is BAD and wont work on that setup.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] Ibuprophen:

Thanks for the pointer [MENTION=4828250]Ibuprophen[/MENTION]. I've been surfing a bunch of the Magisk info, had not found the motherlode, and was even contemplating uninstalling all and unrooting. I tried the Magisk Manager roll back just on spec.

BTW, unlocked bootloader in my case. Latest TWRP, latest Magisk, and QL1 per OP's post here.

I can see there is a lot more to do there in those Magsk resources if I am going to get the residual SuperSU toothpaste back into the tube and pass SafetyNet.

[MENTION=5206435]fiodorpugach[/MENTION] and I were grabbing Jello back in posts 10 and 11 here about the best way to move stuff across devices. A few pleasant surprises on the new Android functionality there via Google backup, but some gaps, too. I think I'll live with the gaps, manually backfill, and do a little selective Titanium Back restore rather than try a broad brush TB restore all and go dorking something else up.

Bloatware Without Root

Question 2: You would, ultimately, like to just debloat the Firmware?

Answer 2: Debloating Stock Firmware only requires root and not an unlocked bootloader.

Not quite true. I've used this method successfully many times. As always, make a backup first and use caution. If ever unsure about whether or not to delete something...DON'T. Disable it instead.

Hi, Have looked around the internet and have found plenty of reference to the S7 and how to fix this but those fixes dont seem to work for the S8+. Anyway the issue is that having installed Nova Launcher and tried to add the Google Calendar and MyFitnessPal Widgets I have noticed that they are quite large in comparison to that of the stock launcher, they seem out of place, even the google search bar looks odd. Does anyone know of a way to fix this?

Found this in web "Support response: *That's something that Samsung does to either try and prevent you from using 3rd party launchers like Nova, or to stop you from using their widgets within 3rd party launchers. *. I also want to use nova launcher but widgets' resolution is too high, any solutions ?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] palakb:
This particular issue is annoying to say the least. Widgets look like crap on Nova vs stock...BUT I did find a workaround with my S8 and just did it on my S10. I haven't seen this solution posted anywhere, but I'm sure many OCD people like myself will be happy:

Create a new Nova widget for "activities". Scroll down to "touchwiz" or "One UI" (for Samsung, may differ depending on what your stock launcher is called). Expand "One UI" and select the activity that ends with ".Launcher. "

That's it! now you can load your stock launcher with a tap of a button. I use this button to load all my widgets (with the mentioned resolution issue) since they are all organized on the stock launcher just they way I like. A press of the home button will take you back to Nova home screen.

Depending on your icon packs, you can make the icon disappear by selecting no icon so you have a "secret" location to launch your widgets or select any icon you wish.

Alternatively, If you don't want to use an icon, you can do the same with Gestures if you have Nova Prime. Just select the gesture to be an "activity" from the shortcuts tab and select that launcher activity as noted above.

This will allow you to pick the image of your choice from what's installed on your device.. once you select it.. you have the option to set that image as Homescreen only.. Lockscreen only... or Both.
