So you ran this on an ATT i337? How did it handle the need for a loki patched kernel? Did you use OUDHS's auto-loki recovery or flash an ATT kernel after the install?
The reason I ask is that my experience with the Aroma installer, when it's done installing the kernel, your only option is to reboot. Meaning you aren't able to flash a loki kernel or loki patch prior to rebooting. I guess you could just reboot back into recovery and flash the proper kernel or patch. Would be nice if Aroma had an option to reboot recovery after the install though.

Thanks for the clarification, I'm not planning on changing roms any time soon, but for the benefit of others I just wanted to know how Aroma worked with our phones requiring loki. If it doesn't make you reboot, that means we could also just flash loki-doki after exiting the aroma installer, or flash an already lokied kernel. Both workable options. Good to know in case other roms move to the aroma installer down the road.

Perfect, thats exactly how we would do it, run the installer, do not let it reboot, and flash our kernel then reboot, I was wondering if that would have worked. And if I remember on the G3, it would ask the user what kernel to install, would it be able to at that point use our loki kernel within the installer?

That's what I'm thinking, one rom for every version of the i9505 with the option to pick our kernel. Would really simplify installations for ATT and tighten up the i9505 group as a whole. Allowing developers to focus more on content rather than 3 or 4 versions of the rom with minor differences.

If it is like the G3 aroma, we will be able to select a kernel for within the installer...
getting this to work for G4 is the best news I've heard since the loki patch....YES!!!!
At the end of every aroma script there is a check box with the option to unchecked " reboot device now" if you unchecked that box then the aroma script ends and your back in recovery without rebooting... Then you can flash your loki_patch...

I have a rooted nexus 5 running everything stock and I was using softkeyz to change the look of my keys. I have xposed installer and advanced power menu as a module which has been ticked and is fully functional but I have yet checked the greenify module. Later on that day I install hkthemes from xposed installer and I reboot my phone after installation. Once my phone booted my navigation bar was still functional and I go into xposed installer and goto modules and I check the greenity and hkthemes module at the same time so I don't have to do 2 reboots and then I reboot my phone and when I boot I have no navigation bar so I goto softkeyz and hit 'import backup'and reboot but that doesn't work so I untick one module at a time and reboot after unticking each one and that doesn't work. I'm stuck here using piecontrol although that works I prefer the navbar
What shall I do?? Flash a recovery.. Install new kernell or install a rom?
Someone please help!

Do you have a module installed that gives you expanded desktop? Thats the first thing I would check. Otherwise, the mod you used for softkeys might have messed something up. If thats the case, If you made a recovery before doing all those mods, just restore it. If not, you can either flash the official image to your phone with ADB or, like you said, flash a ROM. A different kenel wont get your navbar back.

If you didn't make a backup in TWRP or whatever you use, just re-flash the rom you have. If it's stock, there's a stock odexed rom somewhere on here that's flashable in recovery. Just look in the development section.
I don't have a custom recovery because I totally forgot about that xD
The only modules I had were:
Advanced power menu
Greenify
Hkthemes
Do you reckon that if I install cyanogenmod and then create a custom recovery on that id get my navbar back since that was my next step after rooting since there have been good reviews on cm on the nexus 5
If someone could link me to a thread or video on how to install cyanogenmod on my nexus 5 and create a custom recover id be really thankful

There is a rooted zipped 4.4.2 clean nandroid you can flash in recovery, full wipe first and flash it. You`ll however have to find first, saw it yesterday in a thread somewhere (General or Q&A).

Hello,
I Just switched to Slimkat on my nexus 5, and it's a really great ROM.
But i'm missing some feature I had with Omnirom : ability to enable Xposed framework by flashing a zip in recovery, while flashing rom, combined to the ability to automaticly flash any zip located in a specific folder, when OTA updating.
Those two things make possible to enable Xposed, custom kernel, etc... While updating, whitout having to reboot one more time.
Any way to achieve it on Slimkat ?
Yes I miss this from Omni too, the /FlashAfterUpdate folder was very useful.
You can achieve similar by:
- Adding zips to queue within TWRP recovery
- Or use philz touch recovery, put the zips in a /clockworkmod/multi_flash folder, should flash all in one go.
Either way, you still only need to nandroid backup, then flash the zips in one recovery session.
1. ROM
2. GAPPS
3/4 Xposed toggle
3/4 Kernel
It's not quite as slick as Omni delta updates, but this still only requires booting into recovery once
Yet another way with Philz or CWM is to use Tasker to produce a flash list. This is what I do, however multi_flash is probaby easier
Will the Xposed toggle zip work in slimkat too ?

I've used it every time upgrading any version of slimkat, has worked perfectly. All of my xposed modules and saved preferences get carried over between ROM flashes
Remember you can / should always nandroid backup before you flash any ROM upgrade or mod, that way if anything goes wrong you have a safe point to restore to.
Just updated to last weekly, and flashing the toggle at the same time, work great
So I see ALOT OF CONFUSION regarding Safestrap on the Verizon Galaxy S5, I think its about time to explain it to stop this nonsense
THIS IS MEANT FOR 11 eMMC Users, 15 eMMC Users should unlock their bootloader and use TWRP instead
What is safestrap?
Why thank-you for asking, Safestrap is essentially a second recovery written by member @Hashcode to be used for systems with locked bootloader. Safe strap IS NOT A REPLACEMENT FOR YOUR STOCK RECOVERY OR A CUSTOM RECOVERY. Safestrap on a locked bootloader cannot flash locked bootloaders, cannot flash TWRP, and cannot flash custom kernels,(well it can but it is gonna brick) all this requires a custom bootloader, in which you could flash those things but at that point, you'd be better using SafeStrap, Flashfire or Odin to flash TWRP first.
So then what can safestrap do? Well safestrap is capable of flashing system partitions, data, cache and taking backups and even restoring them. It also has a built in file manager to give you access to system allowing the deleting, moving, and changing of files
You could run some stock based ROMs with this and in some cases pre-rooted ROMs. If you are on MM and running a pre-rooted rom, you must flash the stock kernel everytime you leave. YOU WILL NOT HAVE ROOT, but it will allow booting.
How do I access or use safestrap
Well I'll tell you this much, you DO NOT use your hard keys to do such. Don't try any button combos it just won't work. Safestrap doesn't exist on your recovery partition, but instead it exisst on the system partition, meaning you have to use the kernel to load safestrap, not hardware recovery.
On Lollipop its very simple, you need root first which can be obtained here http://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-galaxy-s5/general/root-method-og5-ok3-t3290370 @jrkruse
In this thread it also includes instructions for installing safestrap
Once safestrap is installed, continue by opening lollipop safestrap and selecting reboot to recovery. To exit, you can simply reboot to system
Now the hardest part comes down to Marshmallow. @jrkruse has a thread here about it http://forum.xda-developers.com/ver...ow-to-flash-custom-6-0-1-roms-locked-t3393943
Unlike Lollipop you DO NOT HAVE ROOT. Sorry, just won't happen. But you can still flash some stuff. The worst part is "how do I get into safe strap?"
In the magical folder you downloaded and probably deleted when you rooted your galaxy S5, there was a Kernel file. NI2 or NK2. Either works, what you do is open up Odin on your PC and put your phone into download mode, when it boots into download mode, just flash it and it will reboot. When your phone starts up it will say "safe system not installed" or something. Press recovery. If you wait too long it'll freeze and need a battery pull. Now your in safe strap. to exit just reboot to system(possibly need to flash stock kernel via Odin for MM as safe strap flashes stock LP kernel. Again if you followed the directions in @jrkruse thread then it will manage to boot without any hassle
So why bother?
That! Is an excellent question.
For lollipop users you can flash prerooted stock based ROMs and such. You can use debloat scripts, Knox removal scripts, even modify system files and build.prop and boot and shutdown animations, change boot sounds, install xposed, use rooted apps, go crazy!!! And you can take system backups and restores. Its just awesome!
However, those on Marshmallow have a more sinister fate. Verizon doesn't like us so you CANNOT ROOT. Which means NO YOU CANNOT USE FLASHFIRE TO BOOT INTO SAFESTRAP, NOR SAESTRAP REBOOT OR SUCH. They all require root. So what can you do? Your in luck, you can flash debloat scripts to debloat some ROMs, Knox removal, take backups and do restores, you can still modify build.prop(I don't recommend it, take a backup), and even use Safestrap built-in file manager to edit the system partition, just remember, don't do anything without a backup. Also YES you can DOWNGRADE back to Lollipop if you read @jrkruse thread. You can flash custom ish stock based ROMs but you still CANNOT GET ROOT. DO NOT TRY TO FLASH A ROOTED ROM WITHOUT FLASHING A STOCK KERNEL BEFORE REBOOT.
Thanks to changes made by google you no longer can root MM+ without a custom kernel and you cannot get custom kernels without custom recovery which needs unlocked bootloaders. So sorry to those who want it but nothing we can do right now
So that's the majority of how to safestrap. Any comments or questions leave them below and I probably will answer them maybe kinda probably not.

Safestrap cannot flash locked bootloaders, cannot flash TWRP, and cannot flash custom kernels, all this requires a custom bootloader. Safestrap can flash bootloader and custom kernels and TWRP This is why you should not try to do so it has safety feature built in where normal script will not flash them but it can be made to like I did with the Bootloader update and downgrade zips
DO NOT TRY TO FLASH A ROOTED ROM UNLESS YOU WANT A BOOTLOOP. As long as you flash the stock kernel back after you flash the rom systemless root will be broken and you will not bootloop. So you can flash MM roms that have systemless root just always make sure to flash stock kernel when finished if you dont you wont even have time to bootloop you will be taken to that unauthorize software is detected on your device screen

Well it can flash those on locked bootloaders but you wont like the outcome!
I need you to write my stuff your so much better at explaing stuff than me. I just had a rant on your bootloader unlock page. Nothing meant towards you!
Haha alright, just trying to not mess things up in translation, gonna attempt to reboot your root page now that MM is here and I think we can overhaul it completely, along with a few minor changes to the batch files to streamline everything. Your Rant is justified, I honestly wanted to myself but I've been holding back
My experience
Okay! I ABSOLUTELY had to add to this thread because it was so helpful and confusing at the same time. I wanted to put in some points that seriously helped me. It took me about 8.5 hours total to get this done and I think this can help save people a lot of time.
Phone, I bought an unlocked verizon samsung galaxy s5 off the web (used). 5.0 lollipop with OK base from what I could tell. I was a ten year iphone user so this was all new to me. But I've run a web company for years so I'm very familiar getting around networks and software.
The first recommendation I would have is to read, then re-read, then re-read, then re-read the initial instruction page. The original writer didn't make it Step 1, Step 2, but put multiple steps inside a sentence so you have to sometimes figure out what he's trying to say.
The first problem I ran into was flashing the NK kernel. This is confusing because the Samsung logo will freeze and no where did it say how long to wait, just be patient. This cost me HOURS. There are two things happening, the root.bat file is giving you information and then the phone is responding. I would get all the ##### notifications and then a cursor sitting at the bottom with no response. Samsung logo would freeze. To get it to work I had to install the Factory Tar BPB1 Full Restore Image.
G900VVRU2BPB1_G900VVZW2BPB1_VZW.zip by unzipping and then using the Odin app to install. Once I did that the root.bat file would flash the kernel, I'd wait about 3-4 mins at the blinking cursor after the ### notices, then it said Root Installed and then I was off to the races. I would HIGHLY recommend doing this as from that point forward everything was soooo much smoother. I had about a dozen failures further down the process over about 4 hours because i never saw that Root Installed message at this stage. Once I did, everything was smooth.
I also did not opt out of buying Super Sume. I bought it and then removed kingroot with it and all the other steps were flawless.
For a new droid user one thing you may want to also need to know is that to move files over to the android download HandShaker, it's a much easier file transfer app to move those zip files in later stages over to the phone.
SO - If I am on Lollipop, I can load a custom ROM with Safestrap that is pre-rooted. Right? Would that allow me to load a ROM based on CM 14? What would or would not work. I have had a lot of prior experience with rooting and custom recovery, etc with my Razer M and an Xperia Play and the old LG Ally, but nothing with this S5 and no experience with Safestrap (that I can recall). Cut me a little slack - I'm 59 years old and a tech, but no experience with Samsung except ODIN a couple of times. Thanks.

Okay so I come from dos and Lynx area late 90s going to college and back then it was fun to sit down and code stuff and drink beer on the weekend can I just delete the hole OS out of my g900V cid 11 make my own somehow. It's been 23 yrs but sudo apt update still probably over rides a regular program saying no oh a and I barely got my first smartphone three or four months ago when I would consider smart I don't think the Samsung whatever it was was smart and just could text

No idea what you are trying to ask
CID 11 cannot run a custom OS.
Making your own OS is not anywhere near easy either

Looking for a bit of help. I have a S5 with Emmc = 11. Know I cannot install TWRP. Have gone with all the steps from jrkruse here: http://https://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-galaxy-s5/general/testers-required-easier-root-method-t3561529 I have no trouble getting into safestrap after rooting. The issue I have is once I flash a stock lollipop rom (either EMMC_11_PB1_LL_STOCK_SAFESTRAP_ONLY.zip or VZW_BPB1_ODEX_DEODEX_V9.zip), I can no longer access safestrap. I still have root (Super SU Pro) and busybox etc. However I can install, uninstall & re-install safestrap and when I click re-boot to recovery, it just reboots the system. I cannot figure out what the heck I am doing wrong. Is there a way to force a safestrap install that works? Or how am I destroying the SafeStrap that's part of the rom? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks
John
Never mind. Installed LL_MM_SafeStrap.apk and that resolved the issue. Now have safestrap.
Thanks anyway!
