Newbie experience upgrading to Lineage 18

I had used a ZTE N90 Ice Cream Sandwich up to 6 months ago, when I bought a Verizon Galaxy S5 cid11 for $45. Thanks to this thread, I got it running an unrooted Marshmallow. I’ll describe how I’m now running Lineageos 18 based on the updates to this thread.

Requirements, Windows PC, micro USB cable, micro SD card.

Download provided files

S5_Root_Tools_2023.7z

Patch_Boot_Recovery_Image.zip

The zip file from

https://download.lineageos.org/devices/klte/builds

Copy the Lineageos zip file and Patch_Boot_Recovery_Image.zip to the SD card

Turn off anti-virus

Unzip S5_Root_Tools_2023.7z with program from https://www.7-zip.org/download.html

Start phone, press volume down, home and power buttons

Connect USB cable

Run Safestrap.exe

After about 15 minutes, Marshmallow should be running on the phone.

Power off and insert SD card.

Start phone, press volume up, home and power buttons.

TWRP should appear. (TWRP is intimidating to a newb)

I pressed the Wipe button and used the first option and returned to the TWRP menu

I pressed the Install button and changed the directory to the SD card

I selected the Lineageos zip file

Then select the option to add a second zip file

Select the Patch_Boot_Recovery_Image.zip

I swiped to install.

When you see, on the phone, the upside down Amazon smile with a circle sliding along the line, the circle should make 11 traces before booting into Lineageos, if you hit 30 traces something is wrong, you have to start over.

I’m new but be it seems to me that when installing Lineageos you should disable automatic update because of the delicate nature of the bootloader image.

Lineageos is installed.

We are able to get to this point thanks to the work of a whole community of people.

Anyone who has looked into this project knows the internet is filled with chaotic and misinformation. Just picking the right files to use is confusing. Jrkruse has dumbed down the tons of complexity to the simplest solution possible. We owe jrkruse special thanks.

Addendum.

As a newbie, I struggled to install Google Play. So this is what I ended up doing. I pick up after Marshmallow has been installed from above.

Download from https://opengapps.org/

Platform - Arm, Android - 11.0, Variant - nano

Add this file to the SD card.

Start phone, press volume up, home and power buttons.

TWRP should appear.

Pressed the Wipe button, swiped and returned to the TWRP menu

Pressed the Install button and changed the directory to the SD card

Selected the Lineageos zip file

Select the option to add a zip file

Select the Gapps file

Select the option to add a zip file

Select the Patch_Boot_Recovery_Image.zip

Swiped to install.

When you see the upside down Amazon smile with a circle sliding along the line, the circle should make many, many traces before booting into Lineageos. It took so long, I was worried it was in a loop, but eventually it booted into Lineageos.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] jrkruse:
Nice write up I would add too this if you want to flash gapps make sure you download the proper ones

https://opengapps.org/ choose correct android version and I have best of luck with micro or nano gapps and flash right after you flash the rom. If you run into an error about system size reflash lineage rom zip only then make a system.img in backup in TWRP then restore that system.img backup you just made this will resize the system partition to correct size then flash your gapps and magisk and boot recovery patch.

If you want to root lineage with magisk you need too flash the magisk zip before you flash the Patch_Boot_Recovery.zip
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Knightr1d3r007:
@jrkruse Here some pics I did the process from the first page and now the Samsung S5 CID-11 is running the official LineageOS 18.1 , the Google apps and rooted with Magisk. Thanks a lot for bringing this KLTE phone back to life.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Salocor:
If anyone is trying this but it reboots into recovery upon installing a custom rom, wipe data partition after flashing both the rom zip and the patcher zip.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] arnirx:
It worked on my S5 G900V although I am trying to use youtube and is not working. Ive tryied with Gapps pico and MindtheGapps with out luck.

Also is there any way to hide my root from some apps so I can make use of them?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Unnecessary_Project:
Hi @jrkruse , I have tried the download the S5_Root_Tools.7z file but it appears the link is an old one and I am getting a 404 from Google when I try to access it. Do you have a newer link to these files by chance? I really appreciate this walkthrough. My Google Pixel 3 that I have been using as a daily driver died. I'm hoping to use your tutorial to get my S5 eMMC 15 to a newer version of Android and to use the play store.

Edit: Oh Just realized I replied on the eMMC 11 and not the 15
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Spikelangelo:
My first run through with this a number of months ago worked, but not without some hiccups. That was an EMMC 11 that is happily running with Lineage 19. I just happened upon another S5 today and your linked tool was newer than the one I downloaded for the first round (I think that one was dated around March). This time it worked flawlessly! I also lucked out as this one was an EMMC 15.

Thank you jrkruse, for your continued attention and support that keeps one of the last great phone designs on a current OS!

Is it possible to downgrade baseband? I want to run KitKat roms and have them fully working.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] jrkruse:
Use the baseband from combo firmware

[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] The_Elitist_One:
So I used safe strap and was able to access the twrp screen but when It flashed, it took me to a different screen with magisk installed I press root and then reboot. After that it was stuck on the s5 logo, after I went to recovery mode and into the twrp recovery I found out the os was deleted for some reason? And so I tried to flash lineage and the g apps and I get an error saying that it couldn’t boot up with a kernel error? Not sure what I did wrong probably the part with magisk that kinda ruined the process? Having I guess a “double root” hard bricked the device
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] jrkruse:
The process is stock img magis root then the boot recovery patch zip. You can flash Magick over the top of a patched boot.img. if you flashed lineage with custom boot img it would need to have magisk flashed then boot patched
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] The_Elitist_One:
Is this a necessary step ? I wouldn’t mind but I want to make sure since I bricked the s5 and need to flash the firmware again to start over again
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] VelvetB:
Thank you for your work. It's been awhile since I installed safestrap on an EMMC_11. It's apparently set up to be able to switch between 5.0 PB1 (Lollipop) Root and Android 6.0.1 QL1 (Marshmallow) Mini Root. It's now on 6.0.1 and I'm studying the guides to get back into safestrap. Since no button presses work, am I correct in assuming that everything is done in Odin? Would it make any difference to switch it back to 5.0 before installing the current updates? Also, do you know if there's any video of getting into safestrap from 6.0.1?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] jrkruse:
If you have ability to enter safestrap you can goto whatever
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] jrkruse:
Well since you bricked your phone not doing it what do you think?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] The_Elitist_One:
sometimes you could get around it just making sure if there were other options, is it cool if i dm you on telegram?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] The_Elitist_One:
nvm I got it to work now, i appreciate it!!!!
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] VelvetB:
I'm on your EMMC_11_QL1_MM_NonRooted_Safestrap_Full. I wish to get to LineageOS. Is the best way to start by installing EMMC_11_PB1_LL_Rooted_Safestrap_Full_V2 using S5_Root_Tools_2023? Is there anything else I should install before that? Thank you.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] VelvetB:
Is anyone else having problems trying to direct install magisk and magisk Delta on latest LineageOS and Gapps Nano. I've tried different versions from 23 to 27. Some don't install with an error patching ramdisc or error with System. The one's that do install, (24.3 and 25 or 26), hang at Galaxy S5 screen whether patch_boot_recovery or not. Is there a known good workaround like old fashioned patch and adb?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] jrkruse:
are flashing lineage rom zip then boot.img then flashing magisk and then boot_recovery patch zip?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] VelvetB:
Lineage, Gapps, Magisk then boot_recovery patch zip. After that tried Magisk and boot_recovery patch when that hung tried without boot_recovery patch also, same thing. Guess I missed a step flash boot image? Which one is best for Magisk? I'll flash boot.img now and if it doesn't work, I'll start over.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] jrkruse:
what you want to is wipe data flash lineage then gapps then I use magisk delta 26.4 then boot patch

then boot now when you boot and open magisk it want to patch the boot .img correct? well dont direct install download the boot.img thats available from the lineage site with the rom and put boot.img on your phone storage then choose to patch file and choose the boot.img you place on phone then reboot to twrp and flash that boot.img that magisk patched then flasj boot recovery patch
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] jrkruse:
I just tested with latest from https://download.lineageos.org/devices/klte/builds and used attached magisk delta
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] VelvetB:
Got you. Thx. bloody_bold
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] jrkruse:
Since there has been some confusion I made special roms just for the EMMC 11 exploit and put them in post 2. There is a lineage 18 rom and a stock QL1 rom both rooted with magisk delta and images are already patched so once you have the minimal rom with twrp installed you can just choose one of those rom and just flash zip in TWRP and reboot to setup
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] thanmack:
Thanks so much for this guide and for the Lineage package. I am not a dev and this is my first foray into doing anything with Android devices.

I have a SM-G900V with EMMC 11. I followed the "Directions If Totally Stock" and just successfully flashed Lineage Rom you posted.

When using the phone, I noticed that the WiFi radio is not enabled and cannot be enabled, but bluetooth works (I believe they use the same physical hardware). It also seems that the "back" and "recent" soft buttons at the bottom of the phone no longer work either. Do you have any ideas what I could try to fix it? Should I try flashing it with a different ROM?

Edit: disregard...I didn't even use the right ROM.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Android Development] Knightr1d3r007:
If anyone wants Kali Nethunter running on the Samsung KLTE s5 CID-11, there is a way around thanks to the

EMMC_11 Exploit @jrkruse shared.​

Getting to the second post on the section "How To Use On Other Roms": install the following with the TWRP patched version (steps in order):

1-Choose an image CyanogenMod13 (android 6)

2-Get GAPPs for the device and version.

3-Magisk version 21.4

4-Nethunter kernel for the KLTE s5 from here: https://build.nethunter.com/archive/3.15.3-20161216-0523/

5-the exploit "Patch_Boot_Image.zip"

6-Reboot

The result will have the standard Nethunter logo, apps and stuff, also will support external WiFi adapters for monitor mode.

Forgot to add, at the first boot delete the Nethunter app, reboot and install the Nethunter app from the Nethunter Store, you will get all the new features with the most recent Nethunter app.

[Samsung Galaxy S20 FE Questions & Answers] we87:
I've had the S20 FE since October 2nd (25 days). I always charge at night with a Samsung Wireless Charger. I've used it with my S8, S9, S10 all just fine - and it does charge my S20 FE too.

But, since I've had this phone, I've woken up to the phone not being 100% charged 4 times. I know for a fact that when I set the phone on the charger it is charging, the light is on, and it's centered properly. It's almost as if the phone just decides to not want to charge from the wireless charger.

One time, I laid my phone on the charger and it wouldn't charge until I restarted the phone. I checked with another phone to make sure the charger was working before I restarted the S20 FE.

Anybody else have similar issues? Do I need to exchange my phone?
[Samsung Galaxy S20 FE Questions & Answers] truckerdewd:
I have had this happen a few times also within the last couple of weeks. We have 3 Samsung wireless hargers, 2 of which are the convertible Chargers and when it did it again today, I tried it on the other wireless convertible charger and nothing. I put my Galaxy Buds + on the same charger to make sure the charger wasn't bad and they charged fine. Every time I have found the phone not charging eirelessly, the only thing that fixed it was restarting my phone. Not happy about that.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 FE Questions & Answers] Someguy14201:
Samsung shipping broken phones from the factory....Am very disappointed, not much choice left but to jump ship I guess. Once I'm done with this phone I won't be buying samsung, even if they fix their problems.

Sorry to hear about your issues but I'm glad to hear it isn't just me. Hopefully this was fixed with the October patch.

When I install the cab the text keeps over-writting itself (perhaps I don't have the the correct cab for Diamond??) Ican sort off "fudge" it but it still bounces me out and shuts down...very frustrating :mad:

Anyway, if someone has a cab that works correctly I would appreciate a share...:rolleyes:

Java ME Issue?

Hi Folks,

I've the same problem on my O2 XDA Diamond, too.

IMHO it's not a problem of Yahoo Go! but the Java ME on the Diamond.

Has anybody tried to use any other Java ME JRE on the Diamond?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] sjaak21:
Actually it is not the JRE. The one supplied with the diamond is Sun Certified so should be allright.

The problem is the Yahoo Go! application which uses a .net java-hack dll thingie. This dll is in effect a midlet wrapper for .net and simply is not working very well.

In other words: it is (as per usual) a Microsoft problem.:)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] stuckonashelf:
anyone get this to work? its as if its the wrong size? it just doesnt work right after instasll
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Lann_78:
Because Yahoo Go! is still not supported for our HTC Diamond as yet.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] greatdevil:
Hello,

as today any update ?:confused:
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] priteshpalan:
Yahoo go beta 3

Even i had the same problem after installing new ROM upgrade. but after uninstalling it completely from my HTC Diamond (even remove folder from /program files/yahoo go) I again downloaded it from yahoo website and installed. Now its working properly.

Error is because we uninstall program but system folder is not deleted.

Try this. May ur problem get solved.

Hi, I have a Chinese Android head unit but I dont have a clue which ROM I can use with this.
[Android Head-Units] fsut:
Hi,

I have the following issue:

I bough this 2 din radio for my 2002 Vectra C (I know the radio supports Vectra from 2004 but it's because of the BC controlling).

1. So my radio buttons are not lighting at all. I figured out that I'm looking for some kind of settings like Panel LED control https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8dS4gQCweWY&t=69s

but I could find anything in menus (8888).

2. Steering wheel controls can't be programed. I used clear all function but then only volume up(+) can be set but still not working.

Other buttons are not detected by the radio.

These things should work and I'm sure that are not in connection with 2004+ support.

Is there anyone who experienced such issues?

Hi,

what is the cheapest and best 25w third party charger for the SE 5G?

Any recommendations? Some links to amazon?

[Samsung Galaxy S20 FE Accessories] roootsman:
I got the Samsung 25W charger on Amazon for around $12. It came without Samsung packaging so I was sort of skeptical not to mention the price so my expectations were somewhat guarded. Came in generic packaging. Hooked it up and it works just like a legit Sammy charger. Sometimes you get lucky i guess.

I bought AUKEY 30W charger and AUKEY TYPE C to C cable but i didn't notice any difference in charging speed between my stock 15W and Aukey 30W.. How long does FE take from o to 100 with a 25W charger?
[Samsung Galaxy S20 FE Accessories] Someguy14201:
When charging with a 30W charger the S20 FE should say "super fast charging" instead of the normal "fast charging". If it doesn't then there's something wrong with your adapter/cable.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 FE Accessories] Megamind08:
I just checked and it says "Fast Charging". Does the stock Samsung cable support 25W?
[Samsung Galaxy S20 FE Accessories] longebane:
No. 30w is not 25w. It must support the appropriate specs of the 25w pd that Samsung uses. It's the same reason you can't just plug it into a 85w macbook pro charger and expect super fast charging just because 85w is a bigger number than 25w.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 FE Accessories] Someguy14201:
You can use a 30W charger on a device that supports a maximum of 25W, you can't do vice versa.

---------- Post added at 07:03 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:02 PM ----------

The stock cable that comes with the phone supports 15W. Use an aftermarket cable that supports 25W or above.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 FE Accessories] longebane:
I'm not saying you can't charge it with a 30W. Just that 30w doesn't necessarily mean super fast charge is supported. Also "vice versa"... you sure can charge a 30w device with a 25w charger, since almost all modern devices have variable rate logic that allow a slower charge after they negotiate on a rate. :)

[Samsung Galaxy S20 FE Accessories] 3mel:
I haven't attracted enough hate this week so allow me to throw in this thought to you all.

the higher the amperage a lithium battery is charged with, the faster that cell will "age"!

consider the inconvenience Samsung has bestowed upon you as a blessing. if you are careful and never run your battery flat, never leave it at fully charged for long periods or sitting on a charger overnight at full, you can lose fewer of the cycles that are your batteries lifespan. charging with less current helps with this too. heat is your batteries enemy and fast charging creates more of it.

you might say "why would phone manufacturers produce chargers that would damage batteries over time ?" it doesn't hurt them if you buy a new phone sooner because the battery is weak. they'd prefer that than you getting 4 years life from a phone.

if you're a tight fisted miser like me you'll want your shiny new toys to last as long as feasible... that is all.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 FE Accessories] mxxcon:
This is 100% exactly why the do it.

Fast charging is a nice marketing point to brag about to sell their device NOW, not for it to last months and years in the future.

This is the same reason why we don't have removable batteries anymore... Why would Samsung sell you a $30 replacement battery when they can sell you a $700+ replacement phone or even warranty repair for $120 at worst.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 FE Accessories] Ringo90:
Indeed. Besides, they are making extra money for all the different chargers (fast, superfast, wireless etc.).

A few years ago the phones were not only cheaper, they would also be sold with replaceable battery and a lot of extras in the box, such as the earphones. Now even with such premium phones as this (retail price 700-800) we get the bare minimum.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 FE Accessories] Nichie:
To be fair, removable batteries will mean bye bye to IP ratings
[Samsung Galaxy S20 FE Accessories] mxxcon:
No it doesn't. Older Samsung phones had ip rating with removable battery. And currently samsung sells Galaxy Xcover Pro phone very few people know about. It has headphone jack and removable battery and still has ip68 rating.
