[HOW TO] [GUIDE] [Q&A] - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S5 ROOT & Then Some - Verizon Galaxy S 5 General

Verizon Samsung Galaxy S5 Root & Then Some Thread​
The Goal of this thread is to get you rooted and provide you with up to date information all in one place.
The OP will be updated as much as I possibly can with the latest information so please try and refer to it or just search the thread​
Questions Answered (Updated 8/8/14):
Can I Root my Verizon S5?
- Yes (see OP here or below details)
Can I Root the NE9 Update?
- Yes, See the Guide post HERE
Can I unlock my bootloader and install CWM/TWRP
- NO, NO and NO. Right now we only have root. Root will not allow you to install custom recovery
Can I atleast install Safestrap Recovery?
- As of now (6/25/14) we have Safestrap thanks to Hashcode.
Will this trip Samsung KNOX and what do I do with it
No, root will not trip your KNOX counter. SuperSU will disable KNOX.
Where do I install SuperSu (superuser app)
6/16 - Right now please use the updated SuperSU app posted to @Chainfire website until it is updated to the play store. The play store version will work, you just will not be able to update binaires. Go here http://download.chainfire.eu/447/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.99r4.zip and extrack the .APK and sideload it.
What apps are safe to debloat and how do I remove them?
List will be below. For best removal try titanium backup pro or root explorer. If you haven't bought them by now I suggest you do.
Can I Install Xposed Framework and make it work
Glad you asked, the answer is Yes. See below for further info
Can I get rid of the SD Card R/W restrictions
Yes - Details Below
How do i get rid of that security update notification?
See below
How do I disable OTA updates?
See below
I will keep this OP updated with valued questions from the community. Please refer to OP

Instructions for Rooting.​
First and foremost....A HUGE thanks to @geohot for our current root method. If you have not done so, please donate to him. Also this will only work on the NCG build. You must start form here then you can update to newer builds. Check the forums​
- See here for his OP
- Once you have completed the instructions and used Towelroot. Let's get us some SuperSu on it!!
6/16/14 For now please download the following zip located HERE and extract the SuperSU.apk from the "Common" Folder in the ZIP and sideload the app. 6/18/14 Play Store version of SuperSU has bene updated and will update the binariy. Download SuperSU from playstore HERECredit to @Chainfire for SuperSU
- Enable USB Debugging if you have not done so Already in Developer Options. I've heard this helps when installing the binary To enable Developer Options go into Settings > About phone and tap on your build number 7 times.
- Once SuperSU is installed Open it.
- It will state that Samsung KNOX is detected and ask to disable it. The choice is yours, but I let it disable.
- Next you will need to update your binary. The choice are "Normal" or "TWRP/CWM". You MUST choose "Normal" as TWRP and CWM require unlocked bootloaders which we do not have as of now.
- Download Root Checker form the Play Store HERE
- Once you have verified you have root CONGRATS!!
Please keep in mind this only works for Devices with a Kernel Build Date older then 06/03/2014.​
UPDATE 8/8/14 - Rooting the NE9 Update
- a step by step Guide for rooting NE9 is available thanks to member @muniz_ri along with other members. I personally have not used it yet but many have. See his OP and thread located HERE
UPDATE 12/9/14 - Rooting the NI2 Update
- Basically it is the same as rooting the NE9 build. For a detailed guide please see this link HERE. Credits to @JTidler for the post.

Instructions for Installing Safestrap Recovery​
Until everything is 100% I will just post the link to hashcode's thread for the S5. Please keep in mind that this is ONLY FOR THE VERIZON S5. ATT users, DO NOT, i repeat, DO NOT flash Safestrap. Hashcode illicitly says not to in his thread. If you want up to date info on ATT Safestrap I suggest following Hashcode on twitter.
First and foremost you need to know what exactly safestrap is before proceeding.​
Credit to Hashcode
"WHAT IS SAFESTRAP?
Safestrap is a Bootstrap / Recovery for locked bootloader phones. The goal is to avoid touching your primary system (I'll call this "stock" system) and only flash or make large changes to another place on your phone that Safestrap treats as a "2nd system" (in this case, it's a series of virtual ROM slots located on the internal emmc area: "/sdcard"). Once installed, you will see a "Splashscreen" giving you the option to hit "menu" to enter recovery. The recovery portion of Safestrap is now based on TWRP 2.7.1.x (a touch based recovery) and you can perform .zip installs, backups and restores here. The additional features I've added to TWRP are mostly located under the "Boot Options" menu:
Here you can create virtual ROM-slots (probably only 1 on the S5 due to partition size and internal space) for flashing ROMs. These ROM-slots allow for different sizes of /system, /data and /cache partitions. The defaults *SHOULD* be good enough for flashing the stock-based ROMs.
NOTE: The bigger you make these partition the less room you will have to make other ROM-slots.
You can activate a new ROM-slot by choosing the slot you wish to make active and then selecting the "Activate" button. Once active, you will see the "rom-slot#" up in the top of the screen shown in green. If you make the "stock" ROM active, then you can see it in the top shown in red.
Once a ROM-slot is active, all actions you would normally perform using TWRP are directed to that ROM-slot. For example, "Install" to flash a .zip, backup and restore."

Fix S-Health FC when using Xposed
See this link for step by step I recommend trying to back up Xposed settings as it requires you to uninstall it.
You also need to Wipe the data of the "Health Service" under "All" Apps for it to work. - CONFIRMED
6/18/14 - Spoke with Wanam Developer, doesnt seem to be an issue within Wanam, more then likely it is Xposed.
Allow Apps to write to extSD (Root Explorer or build.prop editor needed)
See explanation and thread HERE
Running List and How-To For Debloating Apps​
I personally recommend 2 Apps to remove bloat. I will list instruction for Titanium Backup (TiBu)
1) Titanium Backup I use this 99% of the time. Please buy the PRO version and support great developers.
2) Root Explorer
To uninstall bloat. Open TiBu and select the middle option for "Backup/Restore"
Select the app you wish to remove
Select Un-install!
Poof!! no more bloat app.
Here is a list of apps safe to remove that will not cause you to have to have issues. This is how they appear in TiBu​This list will grow with time. Remember remove them at your own risk
Accessories
Amazon
Amzon app suite
Amazon Kindle
Amazon MP3
Appstore release
Audible

Instructions for getting Xposed Module installed
Please keep in mind this is to be used at your own risk.​
Visit the Xposed XDA thread HERE for all you need about installing Xposed Framework.
To install:
Download the latest Xposed APK
Select Framework
Hit Install/Update
Reboot Phone
Once installed I recommend the following Downloads form within Xposed
Wanam (Specific for Touchwiz modifications) Get it through Xposed or Get it HERE. You will get most of the nice UI tweeks you like form your favorite custom roms (Circle Battery, Center Clock, Etc etc)
Enable The downloaded Module:
From the Xposed main page select Modules and check off the one you want to use. (in this case and example i'll use Wanam)
Reboot phone
Open Wanam app make changes through app and reboot for them to take effect.

isnt there already threads for this? also, i think you can b more clear on a few things.. for example when you extract supersu the apk is in the "Common" folder.. i think ppl would get confused by saying "sideload" lol believe it or not ppl will think its sokethin else when really it means install it haha.. other than that nice seein someone post instructions to hopefully not clutter other threads with non sense.

Thats my point, there are a lot. Not trying to step on anyone but im justr trying to gather everything i find that is useful and put it into one thread that is kept up to date.

Great thread. I'm glad to see it all in one place. All of this info was definitely in various posts and threads, but definitely not all in one. Thanks.
On the disabling of the security updates... I'm guessing I just freeze the "Security policy updates SPD_v2_1402_4_1".
Thanks again!!!

Thanks for the info
So when loading/sideloading .apk's to the phone, I would do that through Odin, correct? I get used to being able to do everything through CWM, haven't used Odin since rooting my SIII. Thanks again for the this thread.

no you just put the apk to sdcard in a download folder let's say. navigate to it through a file browser and install. just make sure you have unknown sources checked in your security settings

CM11 get rid of Superuser?

I'm using a CM11 ROM, and Superuser is giving me problems - throws up errors now & again. I like and want to use SuperSU, but Superuser is integrated into the ROM.
How can I get rid of Superuser and replace with SuperSU (preferably just using my phone, no ADB).

in the integrated superuser menu(can be found in device settings), if you open settings, you have the option of giving superuser access to "disabled" (by default it is apps only).
after disabling you just have to flash the supersu zip file(can be found on the supersu xda forum) via recovery mode. and you're done.
I flash the superSU.zip after flashing CM11 and Gapps so superSU is the main root app. Never had an issue.
Please keep it friendly and there is no need for name calling of any kind. We tend not to like people resurrecting old threads, but seen as this came in handy for someone there's no harm done.
Thread cleaned.

In the SuperSU settings, there is a setting called something like "Respect Cyanogenmod Settings". Uncheck that.

X-Note 5.1 + AC!D Sound + Simplistic + XPosed + AOSP Browser + Knox Warranty Void 0x0

Just a lil braggin thread
---
So I got:
X-Note 5.1 @ 320 dpi (all bloatware removed)
AC!D sound mod
Simplistic Framework + Simplistic Control for Note 3
XPosed Framework + Various modules (Xprivacy, Wanam, XBlast, ICSAppPicker, etc.)
AOSP Browser (modded to have Startpage and Startpage Mobile as search engines available)
SuperUser 1.65
Busybox 1.21.1 for armv71 (you wanna get the one from busybox.net for maximum commands - the one from stericson or so often miss some commands)
Appsi (as Sidebar Launcher for apps)
Switchr (as Task Switcher + Home button is set to switch between the last 2 apps with simplistic)
Will also get themer for homescreen. (as far as I understand it's just a "homescreen" launcher?) - used lightning drawer in the past. (allows maximum customization too, but not so easy theming I think)
----
All with my knox warranty still intact! (unfortunately I cannot make photos myself, only got the note, no other camera, and when I'm out I dont really thing about stuff like making a photo of my own phone lol)
(check my other threads if you want to know how this is possible)
---
What do you think is missing in my setup still? (apart from custom kernel, and recovery off course - but dont wanna trip that knox just yet)
aww I shouldve kept my mouth shut... after setting everything up and trying to use wifi for the first time i cant get no ip assigned from my router somehow ... sigh - too much customization.
I think its because of deinstallation of so much "bloatware" or a permissions thing. ARGH :silly:
You know you can take screenshots right?

Did you use the x transformer app to change dpi? If so how did you set it to 320, the lowest I could set it to is 360.

i think he is talking about download mode, as that's where the knox binary counter is. And AFAIK you can't take screenshots in download mode, however I can be wrong as I have never tried it.

I got my DHCP fixed now, it was indeed a permissions problem. (some folders and files in /system/etc need special permissions which I overwrote in the process).
But one small problem remains so far: Cant connect with openvpn. It does not find the local adapter - any idea what could cause this?
When I try to connect it say udp local unbound, where actually should be a network interface right?

right - I am taking all this time to provide false informations, maybe you got time to do this but I don't.
Why shouldnt it work? Its no damn rocket science to change some files in the system over adb, and knox does not care about the system partition! (at least as long as you dont try to odin flash a custom roms system img... this is not yet tested, but I believe as long as you leave out the kernel and recovery that you can flash custom system.img even through odin.. but I didnt wanna risk it yet..).
Its just a bit time consuming and you need to be careful not to overwrite certain files (some libs most notably - you will find out which in my other thread about how doin it). The permission fixing by hand is the most annoying part I can tell ya. (maybe this could be automated through a permission fixing script for all the important files etc..)

Go look at his thread man. Ppl tried it and found success. And just for the record he can't exactly post "proof". If he shows that he is running an custom rom and then shows that his knox is 0x0, he can obviously post a pic that was taken before flashing the rom or borrowed from someone else. So you just have to either take his word for it or try it yourself if you have been patient enough to not trip the knox binary counter.

If you still want to see how a non knox tripped download mode looks, google helps ya I'm sure! =)
With simplistic its also showing official in the telephone info (even with sysscope deinstalled) but in download mode it obviously says custom system. (which can be fixed to official if you flash the phone with kies, but this will also update the bootloaders - so only do it when you need to return the phone ever! Probably can just flash stock odin minus the bootloader files to get official status back too, but not sure)
What is acid sound mod??
Sent from my SM-N900W8 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
No clue what it actually does, but just installed it for the heck of it. (noonoxide too hehe, dunno if they are compatible togehter).
Those were the soundmods that were included in the xnote zip installer.

Still need to figure out why local udp is [undef] if I want to connect through openvpn .. anyone have an idea what might cause this?
Already tried disabling afwall and also xposed (xprivacy) to see if thats the cause but its not.
I'm thinking its a permission thing again....
UPDATE:
Can someone please tell me whether they have a folder called /system/lib/modules or not? (might be missing kernel modules here, so I want to find out if i maybe deleted it or smth... or if i need to manually install tun.ko for openvpn to work)

Even though there is no proof but I totally believe it cos what he explains makes sense. I have use the same adb methods to replace frameworks and apps for theming purpose with success and not tripping knox. So why wouldn't it work. All he did is just go the extra step and replace almost all the files from a custom rom.

thanks,
how about /system/app/mcRegistry and /system/app/pak - does anyone have these still?
If so please upload - I need to figure out if they are required for anything important.
(they are not included in odin image unfortunately)
My installer script is 99% ready but needs some more testing and some small additions (like beeing able to choose whether you want to clean /system/app and /system/framework and if you want to clean dalvik-cache etc. - but its working fine already, reinstalled xnote again from clean odin rdlv mj6 just with my script!)
I will make it so it can install basically all cwm scripts (well no aroma support, some files will need to be installed manually, or rather copied into the right folder to be installed then)

You might want to mention how kingroot/kingoroot send your personal data to Chinese servers and the twrp builds you linked to only work fur the SM-T230, SM-T230NU, and SM-T231, and will not work for any of the several other Tab 4 7" variants
Just imagine that I just put all those threads together ahaha: )

I dont think that if you install first supersu me and then kingroot your tab, after root turn wifi off and use supersu me, no data sent to anyone........ anyways it doesnt send your passowords etc to china, just like browser data and few app datas.... but theres no way to get passwords.... all are crypted or hidden well in smali

I wouldn't be sure about that. If you type in your password, once rooted, anything can easily capture the keyboard input and log it or send it out. Let me elaborate. It's like the guys who say, "Hey I have a firewall installed so it cannot communicate out." Yeah, o.k., so all the firewalls do is manage IPTABLES, so if I am an application and have root access, I can do what I want to avoid your firewall rules quite easily. Just a thought.
Hmm, updating the binary will remove the @#$%&* thing , we're just going to use the app to root our phone, and I guess wiping cache and dalvik is necessary
BTW tab 4 is best for gaming because of it looks and size but due to a stupid Samsung company, 1.2ghz + vivante gc1000 expect lagging, I hope some kind hearted will make a custom kernel for overclocking this tab.
BTW There's no Tex plugin on gltools, installing default will not work, so you have to find a cracked version of gltools, well if you do that... R.I.P expect force closes

Well i didnt say anything about firewalls i was daying if you manually disable wifi and use king root, it wont be able to connect anywhere to send any data.... also you can search by date and time files made during root session and remove everything to prevent any keyloger to work
Have ODIN and a stock image ready!!!
Be careful with this root process! The sm-t237p 5.1.1 OH7 boot loops and won't hold the root or Philz recovery... Yet!:cyclops:

No. I can easily change the file and date stamp to match any given system file you already have so that it is not easy to find. Also, Kingroot will not run correctly and root your device properly if it cannot contact it's servers to download the proper exploit for your device. Now, if you are talking about disabling wifi only so that Kingroot cannot contact it's servers after you are rooted, well, if you use any data what so ever, it can use that same data connection. As an example, I have to have data of some type to login to my bank site, etc..
SM-T237P Specific maybe others with PhilZ recovery...

Also, the recovery/zip method stopped working on lollipop and marshmallow with the older SuperSU builds but...

BS_FREE_Lollipop_5.0_Rom_BPB1_Based

This is a modified version of @jrkruse stock BPB1 deodexed ROM with all(or most) of the stock BS removed.
INSTRUCTIONS:
I've included the links needed if you want to use xposed. If you chose not to use Xposed, then skip that step in the flashing process.
I have only used Safestrap to install this ROM, but FlashFire should work as well.
1) Flash NO_BS_BPB1_ROM_DEODEXED.zip
2) Flash Extra_toggles.zip
3) Flash xposed-v75-sdk21-arm-arter97-snapdragon.zip
4) Flash Lollipop_Safestrap_Reboot_Extended_PM_PB1.zip
5) Flash BPB1_Firmware_No_Bootloaders.zip
6) After first boot, open Lollipop Recovery Control and install the latest Safestrap.
7) Open up Viper4Android and install the driver. Then install Viper Fix 1.1.apk and run the Viper fix in the app.
There is no need to flash any Viper zips with this ROM. This ROM has all the same apps as BOK3 V5, but obviously updated to the BPB1 apps. The only app added is multiwindow. I don't use multiwindow, so I can be certain that all aspects of it work, but everything seemed to work normally when I played with it.
Note: Don't pay attention to the 1- prefix in front of some of the ROM versions. I prefix all my flashables in my ROM folder with a 1-, 2-, 3-, ect, so that I have them all in order when I flash them instead of having to remember the order every time lol. I forgot to remove those prefixes when I uploaded the ROMs.

Does anyone know what exactly is new/improved in this BPB1? I feel like these versions keep getting released, but I have no idea what is actually improved LOL.
Thanks! Seems to be working well. Google Calendar kept force closing, so I removed it and installed the Play Store version.
Some apps seen to have a touch recognition problem, like titanium backup. Haven't had any FC errors.

I don't have any of these problems on mine. Does anybody else? It sounds like you guys might have some bad data from a previous ROM. The Play Store was updated in this ROM, so clear data for the Play Store, and that might fix the problem.

Few Questions
First, since I'm pretty new to flashing ROMs with SafeStrap...
At each step of your process when you say "Flash" does that mean Safestrap-> Boot to Recovery ->Install Zip ???
I'm looking at needing Xposed in order to bypass my company's Exchange security requirement of encrypting my device in order to allow email access.
I got a little confused with all the Xposed documentation out there.
Does this set of instructions get me to where I can load the Xposed module to bypass that security and then continue from there?
Big Thanks for your help.
I'm going to start a backup of current ROM so I'll be ready to install this soon.
Regards,
NerdyKowboy

Yes, flash means install in Safestrap.
If you flash the Xposed zip I linked in the original post, then you can use modules in the Xposed installer app included in the ROM.

1.) In safestrap, just do wipe->factory reset or is more of a wipe required?
2.) Can I flash them all using the Zip Queue in Safestrap (TWRP 2.7.1.0) or should I do them one at a time?
Factory reset in factory recovery. You can install all of them on one queue.

I did that, and this is AWESOME. Love the ROM. Tough to decide between the two launchers. Haven't had this level of control in a while.
Only snag was that Android Pay doesn't recognize the device as Android authentic, so can't use Android Pay (which I almost never used anyway).
Thanks for all the work @CVertigo1

I believe Android Pay doesn't work sheerly because the device is rooted, not because of the ROM itself.
Can't get snapchat to login with Xposed. I've read the solution is to do an Xposed framework uninstall, login to Snap, then reinstall Xposed, but have found a lot of people get hung in a bootloop when uninstalling.
Is this from using the wrong uninstaller or something else?
Which uninstaller is correct?
Do you have another solution?
I have tried removing the modules and doing a reboot to see if that'd be adequate.
EDIT:
The issue was the xposed framework.
To anyone else doing this on Galaxy S5 with this ROM (or same version of Xposed)
1.) uninstall Snapchat
2.) Deactivate modules from Xposed
3.) Download and Flash "xposed-uninstaller-arter97.zip" from this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/xposed/unofficial-xposed-samsung-lollipop-t3113463
4.) Reboot and wait for all the apps to Optimize
5.) Reinstall snapchat and login
6.) Flash the same Xposed framework in original post of this thread (apps will re-optimize)
Is there a way to disable the high volume warning? I can't believe they now also have it on Bluetooth...

Since Xposed is already in the ROM, inside of Xposed, go to Downloads & download the module "NoSafeVolumeWarning". Enable it and reboot.
Boom. No more volume warning.

No idea. I'll maybe look into it. But it's not something that immediately hits me as "hey I can do that". I'm incredibly lazy and stoned a lot (stage 3 colon cancer survivor). So keep that in mind lol
Well dang, I still can't get call screening even with this. That's the only feature I truly missed when I left pixel 2 xl for a op7pro. I just have the worst luck trying to get it back.
Also I had a super nice stable device on 9.5.13 with root and a lot of nice things and the only reason I even went to 10 was the other thread said it was working on 10 and xxx said it worked on 10 and now I've been on 10.0.1 for 3 days and it's the buggiest thing I've used ever

Well I am on the T-Mobile version converted to international so mine is the gm1915 which you already said might not work. I completely clearer out every magisk module I had, rebooted to a stock rooted phone and things were fine, installed your first module, rebooted things were fine, installed the companion module and get a bootloop. Thankfully I have twrp and uninstalled the companion module and now it boots. I just have a gut feeling it's not going to work on here and I REALLY hate wiping my data so I'm just going to wait and see if someone else makes a breakthrough on the gm1915 model

Well you didn't follow the instructions. You didn't install Google phone. Please reread.
If you don't install Google phone before flashing the companion. It won't boot.
I provided clear instructions. Follow them and you'll get call screen.
How to install (Magisk Manager or TWRP):
0. Uninstall kirisakura kernel companion, it's included.
1. Install "Anxious7Pro_v*.zip".
2. Reboot.
3. Install google phone apk from apkmirror or just use the apk in the companion module.
4. Set up google phone, i.e. grant all permissions (including "Draw over other apps" and "Modify system settings"), set as default phone app, open app and set up available features.
5. Install "Anxious7ProCompanion_v*.zip".
6. Reboot.
7. Profit.
Also you should pretty much always have BusyBox installed if you're rooted.

I also had Google phone installed before I did this, I preferred it over oos dialer from the start

You should follow the instructions. If it says install Google phone, you should do that. If it's already installed that means you should uninstall to install. And it's just a handful of shell script commands. It is NOT the issue.
I'm not trying to be difficult. But you've twice not followed the instructions. If you don't follow them. It won't work.
The instructions were set up specifically for this. The non-boot that is caused by Google phone being installed as a system app prior to being a user app. I have no idea why in hell that would cause a non-boot. But it does. As I said I am very lazy. I did everything I could to make this a one and done module. So I wouldn't have to provide much support.
Kirisakira companion is listed as feature but I actually rewrote it and that will probably be put into the original mod from freak07. It's just to emphasize not needing to install both.
I think it's ridiculous it requires instructions but it's the only consistent way I've found to get all the listed features working. Please please please ? ?? read them carefully and follow them. Meaning the below paragraph is the ridiculous part btw.
It makes no sense Google phone causes a non-boot when installed as system app first. Even in a module by itself. It causes that.
I spent a week figuring out the easiest way to do this. And I got it down to under 10 steps. Please follow them.
I even spent time leanring how the unity module template works ecause the companion module is unity. And I'm really lazy.
Simplified instructions
How to install (Magisk Manager or TWRP):
0. Uninstall Kirisakura kernel companion and Google Phone, if both/either are installed. Reboot if you uninstalled.
1. Install "Anxious7Pro_v*.zip".
2. Reboot.
3. Install google phone apk from apkmirror or just use the apk inside the companion module.
4. Set up google phone, i.e. grant all permissions (including "Draw over other apps" and "Modify system settings"), set as default phone app, open app and set up available features.
5. Install "Anxious7ProCompanion_v*.zip".
6. Reboot.
7. Profit.
If you don't follow the instructions, you'll probably end up in a non-boot/bootloop.
@TotallyAnxious I will post here. I will be doing clean install of Beta 4 in a couple of hours, and post feedback here. One question though... I am a beta tester for Google Phone. Should I not use it, and instead install the nodpi version of latest .APK that you linked?

Didn't you just confirm it works with that screenshot? And I use beta too. But I have stable in the companion module and you can use any verison. I just don't want to provide a non stable starting point. I get less issues reported that way haha you'll learn overtime I consider how to minimize the effort I need to put into support beyond the OP. I'm incredibly lazy.

lol same here (lazy). But I think that testing your modules with clean beta 4 install is worth the time and effort.

I don't think it is but I haven't tried beta OnePlus software yet. But I doubt it's gonna be that different with a clean install. Can you post the screenshot here so people see it works? Until it's posted here, people can click the link to see it.
