Installing a Custom Recovery and Rooting the Verizon Developer Edition Galaxy S5
This only applies to the Verizon Developer Edition Galaxy S5, NOT the regular Retail Verizon Galaxy S5.
Given that is a Developer Edition device I would assume a basic understanding of Android, adb and other tools needed.
Let’s install a custom recovery (in our case TRWP), then install Root (in our case SuperSU), then make sure we do a backup of the whole device, just in case.
Install Samsung USB drivers. (They are on the “CD-ROM” that mounts when you plug in the phone in the computer, or can be found here).
Turn off "Reactivation Lock" in Settings > General > Security
Download Odin 3.07 here.
Download the .tar version of TWRP from here.
Download the .zip file for the SuperSU install from here and copy it somewhere on your phone.
Select Odin, click the right button and select “Run as Administrator” (Just to be on the safe side).
Power Off the Phone and reboot in Download Mode (hold the menu button and volume down buttons then press the power button until the device reboots).
Make sure the phone is detected, then click the PDA button, select the .tar file downloaded on Step 4. Make sure that only “Auto reboot” and “F. Reset Time” are selected. Click the “Start” button. The Phone should reboot once finished.
Power Off the Phone and reboot in Recovery Mode (hold the menu button and volume up buttons then press the power button until the device reboots).
Install the SuperSU .zip file from step 5.
Now it is also a good time to make full backup of the phone from TWRP. Reboot when done.

Once Rooted you can use Xposed installer, AdAway, Root explorer and Titanium Backup to clean up personalize your phone (See next post).

If you are a Beautiful Widgets user, I have made a Galaxy S5 Lockscreen clock (Look for "Galaxy S5 Lockscreen" by timetoy; You'll have to set the background to Transparent; There is a bug with the dots, this is as big as they get)
Here are some Recovery-installable recoveries (oh so meta...)

1st one to thank!
Thanks I was hoping for a guide just like this. My DevS5 comes in Monday, I guess by next day delivery they mean the next 5th day delivery, but I'm going to test out some mods for other carriers S5's, and hopefully we can get a nice list of working mods going.

No one under the verizon Samsung galaxy s5 subforum has a Verizon Samsung galaxy s5 developer edition phone..........
Why are the admins allowing this to continue?

Because you are wrong. The Verizon s5 and verizon dev s5 are the same forum. You'd know that if you read the other threads.

Yes it works perfectly, and takes no time at all. Also this is my first experience with Xposed, and it's incredible how many options you have and how it well it works universally on many devices.

First off, I'd like to thank you for sharing!
Minor feedback:
I suspect that step 2 was appended. As such, in steps 8 and 10 the reference to prior steps needs +1. So, step 8 should refer back to step 4 and step 10 should refer back to step 5.
Thank you!

Good catch, I have fixed it. thanks
Great guide, I had to wing it before the guide
I can confirm this works, exactly how I did it...
Hi guys, i'm trying to figure out if i need to Root and install TWRP Recovery 1st to be able to backup the bootloader, or do i need to backup the bootloader before i do any of these steps?
Strange, this didn't work for me. Odin went through and then threw out a fail.
das7982's Odin rescue/rooted image, that worked w/ Odin and got me back up again.

Ahh, your right, I didn't. I just saw Odin and thought it was the usual rinse/repeat steps and stupidly ignored the steps before.

Samsung Galaxy Fit is one of the most famous device which is known because of it’s affordability and great price. Galaxy Fit users can now enjoy Rooting the device, and due course of this article we will tell you how you can install Custom Recovery on your device after Rooting it..
Warning for Beginners:
Note: This is an rooting and installing process for the mobile phone named Galaxy Fit S5670 and has to be applied to the Mobile phone using the Recovery Mode in the mobile phone. The steps which are included in this guide are very risky and can even brick off your mobile phone. Unless you are aware with Custom ROMS, Firmwares and ODIN, don’t even try these things on your mobile phone..
Pre-Requisites to Root and Install Custom Recovery on your Samsung Galaxy Fit
The instructions are working for Samsung Galaxy Fit, S5670 Originally manufactured.
Backup all of your SMS Messages using SMS Backup Application.
Sync all of your Contacts with the Gmail Application.
Copy all of your notes manually to somewhere else, as if in case your mobile phone gets bricked these notes will be deleted from the mobile phone.
Take a backup of call logs, APN Settings, and other important things.
Charge your mobile phone so that it would be having more than 60% battery.
Now, enable USB Debugging Mode in your mobile phone (Settings > Applications >Development > USB Debugging).
Samsung Device drivers installed in your computer.
Follow all steps carefully in order to get 100% assured success.
How To Root and Install Custom Recovery on your Samsung Galaxy Fit
Note: We have written each and every step clearly in order to make the rooting process successful but if any wrong step is taken then Neither me nor thedroidnation.com will be held responsible in case your device gets bricked.
Download Odin, Rooting File and the OPS File from the links to your computer and move them to a new folder in order to prevent any confusions.
Turn off your mobile phone and bring the mobile phone to download mode (hold the Volume Down button + Home Key + Power Button and the device will start itself).
Now, Shoot up the ODIN executable file.
Click on the OPS Tab in the ODIN window and select the “BENI_v1.0.ops” file after that tick the “One Package” option and select the file “beni_cwm-5_ext4_v2“.
Connect your mobile phone to the computer, and wait for the device drivers to get installed. After the installation of drivers is complete then the ID:COM section in the ODIN downloader window will turn yellow.
Wait for some time, and as soon as the installation is complete the phone will reboot itself. Now, you can remove the USB cable.
Now, You can access recovery mode on your mobile phone by holding Volume Up + Home Button + Power Key and the device will start itself.
Now, select “Wipe data/factory reset” & “Wipe Cache partition” one-by-one and the device caches will be cleared off. After this select “Wipe dalvik cache“.
Congratulations!! You’ve successfully installed Custom Recovery in your Samsung Galaxy Fit...
Press Thanks button If I help U in any manner...

How to Backup the phone
just bought the phone yesterday
do yo guys know how to back up this jellybean phone?
Hey guys, if you have FB we have a group with most of oHD users. Just search "CherryMobileOmegaHD" in FB (can't post links yet. sorry)
There are custom roms in the group, the usual rom cooked from dsdixda's kitchen (zipalign, deodexed, rm bloatwares)
@cyzarine
What do you mean with backup? We have the stock rom in the group, you might want to check it out.
Bummer! I'm stuck at step 3!
You will see that RECOVERY has a check beside it. Click on "Download." A warning will appear, proceed anyway.

Woke up to a drained Omega HD today.
Plugged it in to have it charged.
Switched it on afterwards.
"OmegaHD" flashed before my eyes, followed by a blank screen with the familiar Cherry Mobile tune playing on the background. And then nothing! NO DISPLAY! I touch the screen and there are sounds playing to confirm each press, which means I am pressing on the right places -- only that there is NO DISPLAY APPEARING.
I switch it on and off, still the same results.
Wiped cache. Nothing... Since it's practically new, I go ahead and factory-restore the thing... still the same results. NO DISPLAY! :-S
What else can I do to this device to have it work properly?!
Have you installed any custom rom or any other zip files with your phone?

The latest iteration in the Galaxy Tab series, the Galaxy Tab 3, has a lot going for it. The Galaxy Tab 3 8.0 specifically features a 5MP camera, 16 or 32GB of onboard memory, a dual-core 1.5GHz CPU with 1.5GB of RAM, and as its name suggests, an 8-inch touchscreen display. The device is now rootable and also has a custom recovery ready to be flashed, so custom ROMs should also be on their way pretty soon. The guide below should help you get ready to flash custom ROMs, by way of rooting the device and install custom recovery (TWRP Recovery in this case).
I. Before You Begin
1. Make sure you have backed up everything you care about from the device before you begin.
2. Charge your device to 75% or more before you start.
3. Install the proper drivers before you start. Usually, installation of Kies will take care of this.
II. Necessary Downloads
1. Odin307.zip
2. TWRP_T31x_r3.tar [or the latest version from this post under the Downloads section]
3. ROOT_SGT3_8.0.zip
III. Installing TWRP Recovery on the Galaxy Tab 3 8.0
1. Extract Odin307.zip to a folder on your desktop.
2. Copy TWRP_T31x_r3.tar to the extracted Odin307 folder.
3. Double-click on Odin3 v3.07.exe from the extracted folder to start the Odin tool.
4. Power down your device and put it into download mode. To do this, press and hold the Home + Volume Down + Power buttons simultaneously for 3 to 5 seconds until you see the warning screen.
5. Connect your device to your Windows PC using a compatible microUSB cable. If your PC installs drivers at this point, let it do so. Once that is done, the ID:COM field on Odin should light up yellow, signifying that Odin has recognized your device without a problem. If not, make sure you install the proper drivers (by installing Samsung Kies) and try again.
6. Click on the PDA button on Odin and navigate to the location of TWRP_T31x_r3.tar to load it on to Odin.
7. Wait for the PASS message on Odin and reboot your device.
You should now have TWRP Recovery installed!
IV. Rooting the Galaxy Tab 3 8.0
1. Boot into recovery by powering down the device, pressing and holding the Power + Volume Up buttons until you see the Galaxy Tab 3 splash screen and letting go of the Power button once you see it. Continue pressing the Volume Up button until you get to TWRP Recovery.
2. Hold your device in portrait mode, and tap on Reboot on the bottom right of the screen and then select System on the next menu.
3. You will be asked to install root. Accept it and the device will reboot.
4. Follow the on-screen instructions that will now appear after your device has powered on.
V. Alternate method for Rooting
If the section IV steps failed to obtain root, here is an alternate method to get you going.
1. Copy the ROOT_SGT3_8.0.zip you downloaded above to your internal/external SD card.
2. Boot into TWRP Recovery as detailed in Section IV > Step 1.
3. Tap on Install once in TWRP Recovery.
4. Navigate to the location of ROOT_SGT3_8.0.zip and select it.
5. Swipe to confirm the flash.
6. Go back to the main menu, tap on Reboot and then tap on System.
You should definitely be rooted after your device reboots. To confirm, install Root Checker Lite from the Play Store or any other root requiring app and you will prompted to grant root access via the now-installed Superuser app.
Thanks! Was eagerly looking forward to this. Now to the roms.

I've had a look around, and can't seem to find more than a couple of ROMs for this device. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

I am wondering the same. I have updated mine this week. It is now running the latest factory update. I would like to know if this method would still work after updating.

No they won't sorry. All Galaxy tab sizes are based on different chipsets.
Yes this will work on most current stock firmware as well.
4.3
Just got my galaxy tab3. Rooted it. It's currently on 4.2.2 but there is an update nagging the hell out of me tried blocking it but no go. Anyways I'm looking for specific info on whether this will work on 4.3 or not? I learned the hard way to not update without knowing when I updated my gs4 to mf3 and lost out on most the options for it.
TWRP Recovery
For some reason I'm unable to install TWRP Recovery. I follow the instructions above but it doesn't recognize my tablet, Tab 3 8.0. I go into the download mode on my tablet, as instructed. I then connect it to my computer with Odin running and nothing happens. The message on the tablet is " Downloading........... Do not turn off target" and it stays like this all the time. On ID:COM I get "0 : [COM6] and the message < ID:0/006> Added!!
This is as far as I can get. I then have to reset and everything is back to normal. I have Kies installed on my computer.
Any comments and help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

Root help
Try this:

Worked perfectly for me. Don't unplug or shut down your device. Just hold volume up and power until you see the Galaxy Tab splash screen then let go of power while holing volume up - you should boot into TWRP.
Then follow the directions in the first post here to finish the root. If it works for you make sure you thank skythus:good:
Worked for me!
Thanks guys

Just a FYI,
I tried to download the necessary files from Dev-Host using my tablet and downloads would not start due to mobogenie
Interupting and wasking to install an app. There was a warning from the system that the app may be harmful. I had to download to my laptop and still had a program that wanted to install but did not interupt the downloads.
I have compiled from source TWRP for use with the T310, T311, and T315.
You can view TWRP source changes/updates HERE.
After installing, it will ask you upon leaving TWRP if you want to install TWRP app. Just select "Do Not Install" and uncheck the options and it shouldn't ask anymore.
Click HERE for the latest version.
OTG storage also works and can be used for "backing up to" and "flashing from".
Please report any bugs here in this thread. Be sure to include which device you have.
Please take a moment to say thanks and/or donate to @ketut.kumajaya for providing us with a working source tree for CM which I used to compile this recovery.
Credits go to:
@ketut.kumajaya for CM source tree for our devices
and of course the Team Win group
Supplied in 2 formats:
Odin flashable tar.md5 (for first time installation)
.img file (for those who use already have a version of TWRP installed or those who use Flashify or other direct methods).
Instructions for ODIN: (use the one with "tar" in the name)
1. Download ODIN on your computer.
2. Power off the device.
3. Restart in "Download Mode" by holding the "HOME" button, "Volume Down" and "Power" all at the same time (for about 5 seconds).
4. Hit the "Volume Up" to enter download mode.
5. Start the ODIN exe program. See notes about ODIN below. I recommend that you un-check auto-reboot.
6. Connect the device via USB to your computer. Verify the device shows as "Added" in the Message box. If it doesn't show then you need the Samsung USB drivers (just install KIES to get them).
7. Select "PDA" then choose the recovery file you want to flash. (Extracted from downloaded .zip.)
8. Hit "START"
9. Wait for device to restart. Skip this step if you unchecked auto reboot in Odin.
10. Restart to recovery mode to verify it works (Hold POWER, Volume UP, and the HOME button all at the same time. When you see the Samsung Logo, let go of the POWER button, but keep holding the Volume UP and HOME until you see the recovery screen).
After installing, it will ask you upon leaving TWRP if you want to install TWRP app. Just select "Do Not Install" and uncheck the options and it shouldn't ask anymore.
Notes about ODIN
--Make sure that "Re-Partition" is NOT checked.
--Auto Reboot can be un-checked if TWRP doesn't flash correctly on your device. Some have reported that un-checking Auto Reboot fixes this issue. If you un-check Auto Reboot, you will need to reboot the device yourself (refer back to step 10).
Instructions for flashing the .img:
Boot into your previously installed TWRP recovery.
Select the Install option.
Select "Install Image"; then select the .img file.
Choose "recovery" option.
Flash.
Reboot recovery.
Enjoy your new recovery.
Flash at own risk!!!!

Their github has not been updated since last November. The github "branch" has been showing as 2.7 for months, but was still only 2.6.3.0. Can't update until they release source code.
Edit: Looks like they moved their source to the Omni rom github. Updates will be made in the near future.

Hello all,
BORING INTRO STUFF (Safely Ignore This):
I couldn't find any guide that was current enough to make me feel confident in going through with rooting this tablet. So because of that, I decided I would make on my own guide for those that needed this. I tried multiple guides here and all of them resulted in a boot-loop.
VERY SMALL PSA: I'm apologizing in advance if this guide is both pointless and longer than it needs to be. I figured it would be useful as a future reference in-case anyone needed this.
THINGS YOU WILL NEED:
* TAB S6 - SM-T860 (Wi-Fi)
* This can be done on Android 9,10 & 11 (Process is the same)
* Your specific firmware downloaded (*DO NOT SKIP THIS*)
* Tablet is charged to at least 50%
* Maximum of 20 minutes to both read & follow the process
* FIRMWARE: The link below is the firmware I used. I would still advise you to both look for your specific version and to use the link provided below only if your tablet is exactly as followed:
* (T860XXU4CUI4) - BUILD NUMBER
* (ANDROID 11) - ANDROID VERSION
* (XAR - CELLUAR SOUTH) - SERVICE PROVIDER SOFTWARE VERSION
( https://samfirms.com/SM-T860/KOR/T860XXU4CUI4 )
* SAMSUNG USB DRIVERS: ( https://developer.samsung.com/android-usb-driver )
* ODIN: ( https://samfirms.com/download-odin ) Latest is 3.14.4. Use that one or the newest one
* TWRP (OPTIONAL): T860 (Wi-Fi) ONLY. DOWNLOAD VERSION "twrp-3.6.0_9-0-gts6lwifi.img.tar" OR THE LATEST ONE AVAIABLE.
( https://dl.twrp.me/gts6lwifi/ )
* MAGISK APP: ( https://magiskmanager.com/downloading-magisk-manager )
* LZ4 TOOL: ( https://github.com/lz4/lz4/releases )
* 7-ZIP: ( https://www.7-zip.org/download.html )
HOW TO ROOT:
1. UNLOCKING THE BOOTLOADER: *** THIS WILL WIPE YOUR DATA *** (GO TO SETTINGS > ABOUT TABLET > SOFTWARE INFORMATION & TAP BUILD NUMBER 7 TIMES. GO TO DEVELOPER OPTIONS > TOGGLE ON OEM UNLOCKING) TURN OFF THE TABLET. AT YOUR PC, HAVE A CABLE CONNECTED TO THE PC. WHILE HOLDING BOTH VOLUME DOWN + VOLUME UP, PLUG IN THE CABLE. WHEN THE SCREEN TURNS ON, PRESS AND HOLD VOLUME UP.
WHEN THE SCREEN CHANGES PROMOTING YOU TO UNLOCK THE BOOTLOADER, PRESS VOLUME UP. ONCE BOOTED UP, GO THROUGH THE SETUP AGAIN AND MAKE SURE Wi-Fi IS CONNECTED. GO BACK TO SETTINGS, ENABLE DEVELOPER OPTIONS AGAIN AND THEN ENABLE USB - DEBUGGING.
2. EXTRACT THE BOOT.IMG.LZ4 FILE AND MOVE IT TO YOUR TABLET: After 7-Zip is installed, the LZ4 Tool and the firmware you downloaded is extracted somewhere, open the extracted firmware folder. Right-click on the AP file and select 7-zip then open archive. Look for boot.img.lz4, drag it inside of the LZ4 Tool. Once done, drag the boot.img.lz4 on top of the LZ4 executable. It will be extracted as boot.img. Right-click the boot.img file and select 7-zip then add to archive. Change "Archive format" to tar and rename it to boot.tar. Finally, move it to your tablet's storage.
3. DOWNLOAD THE MAGISK APK: Install the Magisk apk that you downloaded and open it up. Within the app, select install, uncheck recovery mode and press next then check "Select and Patch a file". Locate your boot.tar file that you moved into your storage from earlier and wait for Magisk to process it.
4. USING ODIN: Go ahead and locate the new file, it starts with Magisk (NOT THE BOOT.TAR FROM EARLIER SHOULD START WITH MAGISK). Once done, move the Magisk tar file to your computer and turn off the tablet. With the tablet off and Odin open (Run as administrator) , press and hold both VOLUME DOWN & VOLUME UP then plug the cable from your pc into your tablet. With Odin open, go into the "options" tab, uncheck "Auto Reboot" and Select "AP". Locate the Magisk tar file you moved from your tablet and then press "Start".
ONCE IT SAYS "PASS" THEN STOP AND READ THIS BEFORE CONTINUING. *IMPORTANT*
PRESS AND HOLD BOTH POWER AND VOLUME DOWN FOR 7 SECONDS. THE SCREEN WILL TURN BLACK. VERY QUICKLY WHILE STILL HOLDING POWER, PRESS AND HOLD VOLUME UP INSTEAD. PRESS POWER TO THE BOOTLOADER UNLOCK PROMPT AND YOU SHOULD BE IN RECOVERY. THIS SHOULD BOOT YOU INTO STOCK RECOVERY. USE THE VOLUME KEYS TO NAVIGATE, SELECT "Wipe data/factory reset" then press the power button and select "Factory data reset". Finally, select "Reboot system now" and Wait for the tablet to reboot into the OS.
5. FINISHING UP: After the tablet has restarted back into android and you took a couple of minutes to go through the setup one last time. Scroll up into the app drawer and make sure that you see the app "Magisk", go ahead and select it and press ok to download Magisk. Afterwards, open it up and Magisk will ask you to reboot to finish setting up root. Press ok. Once restarted you are done with the rooting process.
Lastly, as an optional step you can install TWRP.
6. TWRP INSTALLATION (OPTIONAL): With the tablet off and Odin running on your pc, go ahead and press VOLUME DOWN AND VOLUME UP at the same time then plug in the data cable from your PC. Press VOLUME UP to go into download mode. Once in download mode, select "AP" then select the TWRP tar file you downloaded and make sure to uncheck "Auto reboot" from the options tab in Odin. Click start and after it says "PASS" unplug the data cable. On the tablet, press VOLUME DOWN AND POWER to reboot and when you see THE SCREEN TURN BLACK, QUICKLY PRESS AND HOLD BOTH POWER AND VOLUME UP. You should be in TWRP and you are now officially done.
* From now on, I would recommend you use the Magisk app or some reboot app to boot into recovery as it is difficult to use the button combinations to access recovery.
* IF YOU'RE NOT USING MAGISK TO REBOOT TO RECOVERY, I WOULD USE THIS APP INSTEAD: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.eypcnnapps.quickreboot&hl=en_US&gl=US
Credits: If all went well then I appreciate you taking the time to read through this guide carefully. Hope it was as clear as possible and that you found it helpful. I will be editing this post from time to time to make it cleaner.
Again, Thank you and if you have any questions, I will answer them when I see them.
THANK YOU SO MUSH IVE BEEN STRUGGLING SO HARD TO GET ROOT ON THIS TABLET FINALLY THANK YOUUUUUU
by the way guys, when it says to reboot to make magisk work.
you are risking a bootloop.
Oh by the way, aside from TWRP being wonky thank you for the guide I had been playing with the idea of rooting this thing for over a year now. You made it easy.
I go through all the steps and it works fine. Once I try for TWRP I end up with
"partition recovery
Reason recovery: Error verifying vbmeta image: invalid vbmeta header (6)
CUSTOM recovery
VBMETA T860XXU4DVG6, 54204454R"
From that point it just loops back to that message and downloading mode until I wipe it all and start over again. I TWRP a no go for the S6 now? I guess I can dig around on their site as well. Any input anyone wants to throw my way will also be appreciated.
Hi Sadistic - ,
I need to start with a complement. This is a really clear guide.
But, When I get done with step 3, the Magisk patched boot file has a .img extension
On step 4, Odin is expecting a .tar file extension so the file doesnt show up.
Did I miss something?
Thanks

Yes, step 2 is moving the extracted boot file (re-named to .tar) to my tablet and then patching it with magisk.
The patched file from Magisk has an .img extension.

Let's just cancell this. it was over 20 days since I asked for help & now I'm getting asked for screenshots.

I probably should have put that in my reply.
