**You can begin the following process from any build/ROM but you must have both root and Safestrap installed before proceeding**
1. Place the G900V_OA8_100%_Stock_Rooted_ROM onto your ext-sdcard.
2. From Safestrap recovery press "Wipe" then "Advanced Wipe" and wipe everything but your ext-sdcard.
3. From the main menu press "Install," then select and install the G900V_OA8_100%_Stock_Rooted_ROM.
4. Once complete, from the main menu press "Reboot," then "System." Done!
After following the above process your phone will pause on the Verizon splash screen for about 2 minutes before rebooting.
Caution! Users are reporting issues after using TitaniumBackup to delete or freeze unwanted apps, e.g. rotation stops working. Additionally, users have reported that their device runs hotter with severe battery drain after updating to 5.0. The problem seems to stem from the SHealth pedometer, heart rate monitor, and Facebook Messenger running in the background. Consider disabling these items and rebooting to resolve the issue (Verizon Community Forum: https://community.verizonwireless.com/thread/851032?start=0&tstart=0).
Optional - Enable Native Tethering AddOn:
1. Place the G900V_OA8_TetherAddOn.zip onto your external sd-card.
2. Flash back the G900V_NK2_Stock_Kernel in order to access the Safestrap recovery splashscreen.
3. Flash the file using "Stock" Slot but do not wipe!
4. Last , press "Home", then reboot into Download Mode and re-flash the G900V_OA8_Stock_Kernel. Done!
Notes:
1. The above process will not affect your Knox Warranty Flag.
2. This process will update your Modem, Non-hlos, System, Kernel, Stock Recovery, and Bootloader to OA8 (BusyBox is also pre-installed).
3. Safestrap will no longer function after updating to OA8 5.0. However you can access Safestrap recovery on 5.0 by flashing back the G900V_NK2_Stock_Kernel (reflash the G900V_OA8_Stock_Kernel once you are done using Safestrap).
4. If you do not already have root access you must first flash the G900VVRU1ANCG_Full_Odin.tar (flash in Odin's PDA slot(AP in Odin v3.09+)), root with Towelroot (this version does not require internet access), install Safestrap, then proceed with the above process.

Thank you very much for doing this!!!! I can upgrade straight to OA8 from NK2 (stock root)? Im in process of downloading the stock rom files now... Just a quick reminder on how to apply in 0din would be great. And also havent used SS yet ;/
Thanks for saving me from having to figure this out!
Upgraded and kept root. Wish I had safestrap, but oh well--I suppose in the scheme of things it's fortunate that there's even still root. Yes, "fortunate" ...
Best regards.
Thanks for the guide! I was already updated to OA8, but I just flashed a stock nk2 tar (didn't have an nk2 backup) then followed the ncg root method, went back to nk2, installed safestrap, and then followed your guide.
awesome thread.. i lold at ppl saying we wouldnt have root.. only downgrade is that if already on L you have to go back to a ss compatible rom to upgrade again.. i will be working on Extreme Syndicate when I get home! It will also be deodexed if all goes well

No worries. Look forward to your ROM.
Can't wait to get home from work and try this out. So if I understand this right you can be on any rom base with root busybox and safe strap and this method will update you right? Or do you need to be on NK2 first?
Just finished the video I made on this process please check it out.

You can flash the ROM from any base. The process will update all partitions to OA8. Although someone just reported that their baseband remained at NK2 after flashing the ROM. Let me know if anyone else experiences that issue and I will check it out.
downloading it and the stock NK2 tar so I can go through the upgrade (I'm running Rick's ROM on NI2 currently, and pretty sure I need to ODIN back to stock first)
will report back

Thanks I am planning on making a video on this process as soon as I can. Probably later tonight. I want to fully understand before I start. I will be interested to see more info about the baseband also. Awesome work by the way. I didnt think that lollipop would get root this quick and since it is downgradable anyone can root which is awesome.

Good Morning,
I understand the whole process and have all the files ready to go. Could some please inform me if I need ODIN to flash the Kernel, or can I use Safestrap to flash, can I flash the update and boot as normal and flash the kernel later? I ask because I do not have access to a computer and it looks like a long day here at the hospital.

I echo the earlier questions. Is there a way to do this process without access to a PC? I am currently on NI2 with full root and want to get to 5.0 hopefully still with root. The only computer I have is my work computer which will not allow me to install ODIN or Kies since I am not an administrator. Any help would be greatly appreciated and thank you all for your hard work on all of this stuff.

This is a root injected Stock I535 (leaked) Odin Flashable Image. You flash this in Odin just as you would the completely stock ROM from samsung. I've simply injected the su binary and SuperSu app so you now have rooted stock image.
So if you want to keep your device stock yet have the functionality of root without tripping the counter or just flashing back to stock yet retaining root for a good baseline to move forward from, then this is a good option.
You can get ODIN here
and the drivers for the SCH-I535 so ODIN can detect your phone can be found at Samsung's site. Click on the Manuals & Downloads tab at the bottom and then on Software for the latest driver.
Instructions:
First, Download Image:
JB Image (4.1.2) Provided by open1your1eyes0 leak
Main Download: No Wipe, latest 4.1.2 Image: root66_VZW_I535VRBMB1.7z
Prior Version:
Mirror 1: root66_VZW_I535VRBMA2.7z - This will wipe everything! Complete factory wipe. Caution, Includes /sdcard.
Mirror 1: root66_VZW_I535VRBMA2_nowipe.7z - This will NOT wipe data or sdcard.
JB Image (4.1.1)
Mirror 1: root66_VZW_I535VRBLK3.7z - This will wipe everything! Complete factory wipe. Caution, Includes /sdcard.
Mirror 1: root66_VZW_I535VRBLK3_nowipe.7z - This will NOT wipe data or sdcard.
Older Leaked JB Image
Mirror 1: root66_VZW_I535VRBLK1.7z - This will wipe everything! Complete factory wipe. Caution, Includes /sdcard.
Mirror 2: root66_VZW_I535VRBLK1.7z - This will wipe everything! Complete factory wipe. Caution, Includes /sdcard.
Mirror 1: root66_VZW_I535VRBLK1_nowipe.7z - This will NOT wipe data or sdcard.
Mirror 2: root66_VZW_I535VRBLK1_nowipe.7z - This will NOT wipe data or sdcard.
Archived Images
Mirror 1: root66_VZW_I535VRBLJ1.7z - This will wipe everything! Complete factory wipe. Caution, Includes /sdcard.
Mirror 1: root66_VZW_I535VRBLJ1_nowipe.7z - This will NOT wipe data or sdcard.
Second, Extract and Flash:
Extract the root66_VZW_I535VRBLK1.tar.md5 from the .7z file you downloaded.
Use Odin, put phone into download mode [with phone off, hold vol. down + home + power ], connect to computer and open Odin.
once in odin click the PDA field and select the root66_VZW_I535VRBLK1.tar.md5 you downloaded.
Leave Auto Reboot and F. Reset Time checked.
click start and
when done let phone reboot.
If you have issues flashing with Odin please ensure you are using the microusb cable that came with the phone, users have had issues using other cables.
If you just want a stock, rooted phone with no custom recovery, no plans to flash custom roms, etc. then you can stop HERE.
Optional, Recovery (may now trip counter):
Loading any custom recovery or custom kernel may now trip the download mode flash counter. Loading a non stock recovery will also prevent you from successfully applying any OTA updates however here is a procedure for any who want a non-stock recovery:
The instructions here are for TWRP but you can follow same procedure for CWM as well.
Option 1: Download GooManager from the Play store. Once installed click the menu and select "Install OpenRecovery Script".
Option 2: Download the TWRP recovery image here. Copy it to the /sdcard of your phone.
Connect your phone to your computer and use adb
type adb shell
once in the shell run su
then
dd if=/sdcard/openrecovery-twrp-2.3.1.0-d2vzw.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p18
Alternate if unfamiliar with adb commands
Grab android terminal emulator from the play store and run the same commands starting with su and then the dd command.
Bonus Files
CWM Flashable OTA Upgrade (preserves root and non-stock recovery):
---------------:: root66_OTA_I535_VRBLK3_VRBMB1.zip
CWM Flashable Modems: modem_CWM_I535VRBLK3.zip || modem_CWM_I535VRBMA2.zip
ODIN Flashable Stock Recovery: VZW_recovery_I535VRBLK3.tar.md5 || VZW_recovery_I535VRBMA2.tar.md5
History:
I've injected root into other stock images and those threads have a lot of valuable information which could answer some questions that may arise here. If you have time to do some reading here are a few of the informative ones:
Samsung Galaxy S3 [ATT / Bell / Telus / Rogers / Sasktel ]
Samsung Galaxy S3 [TMO / Wind / Mobilicity]
Also did sprint but there isn't much there that won't be covered above.
FAQ
Does this remove the VZW bloatware?
A: No. It is same as stock, nothing is removed.
Does this use an unlocked boot.img
A: No. This flashes the stock boot.img in the VRBLJ1 image.
Can I still get OTA updates?
A: Yes if you do not load a custom recovery or remove any system apps OTA updates will still come and be able to be successfully applied. If you want to retain root through the OTA process I'd recommend using OTA Rootkeeper.
Awsome! Thanks for this!!
I'd like to add I don't have a VZW S3 so I didn't test those images above. The first person to try please post to confirm they work. Thanks.
EDIT: Anyone reading this, it's been confirmed they work now.
Does this come with the locked boot loader?

Yes. In the faq question 2.

Still no power due to Sandy, but has anytime tried this and confirmed it works? I'm on the current official ota with root and no custom recovery now.

I installed open1your1eyes0 prior to seeing this or I would have tried it. I can confirm your flash counter will be tripped using that method. Had I seen this first I certainly would have used it as all I want is stock rooted.
Thanks for thinking of us conservative types that only want stock rooted.

I hope at this point most people have their phone how they want it. To me, this is good for 2 things. 1, first get your phone and want completely stock but root. 2, you've played around with other roms, kernels, etc and want to get back to a good baseline ensuring all stock but of course retaining root.

Well there have been 30 downloads. maybe someone has tried it at this point. (some people never post) but I'm sure we'll know soon enough.
I rooted my phone via one of the original methods (Odin file) when it first came out. When I put, the first screen says "custom". I don't think that original method tripped the flash counter.
After installing this via Odin, will I still get the "custom" message on boot?
Foxfi no longer works on jb, right?
Worked like a charm!! unlocked with ez unlock and flashed cwm 6.0.1 with ez recovery...no tripped flash counter

the custom screen means your bootloader is locked. No the original method does not trip the flash counter. You basically use this file just like you did way back with VRALF2 root66 that mr. robinson was so kind to provide us with.

**You can begin the following process from any 4.4.x Build/ROM or higher but you must already have Root Access**
**Required** FlashFire - Play BETA - PREVIEW.
**Caution!** The following process is only for the AT&T I337 S4 Variant. Use on any other device may result in a hardbrick!
Downloads:
- I337_OK2_Stock_Rooted_ROM.zip
- I337_OK2_Stock_Rooted_Deodexed_ROM.zip
Attention! Set your screen timeout to 10mins before beginning!
1. Place the ROM onto your device (use either internal or ext-sdcard).
2. Open the FlashFire app and "Agree" to the Terms and Conditions.
3. Press "(+)" twice to bring up the "Actions" menu.
4. Select "Flash Zip or OTA" and locate and select the ROM. Leave "Auto-mount" unchecked under the "Options" menu and press the checkmark to continue.
5. From the main menu Uncheck all options under "EverRoot" and set Reboot setting to "Download."
6. Press the lightning bolt then "Ok" to begin the flash.
7. Once the flash is complete and the device reboots into "Download" mode, flash the I337_OK2_Bootloader.tar.md5 using Odin's PDA/AP slot. Done!
The screen will turn black then display the contents of your system before beginning the flash. FlashFire will pause for about 1 minute while flashing the "system" partition. Once complete your device will reboot and pause on the AT&T splash screen for about 1 - 2 minutes (15 - 20 mins for DeOdexed version) before completely rebooting. Done!
Tip: for blazing fast speed turn off animations from Developer Options and reboot!
Known Issues:
- None!
Optional:
- I337_OK2_TetherAddOn.zip
- I337_OC3_Batch_Debloater (Customizable)
Notes:
1. The above process will not affect your Knox Warranty Flag.
2. The process will update your Modem, Non-hlos, System, Kernel, and Stock Recovery.
3. No need to wipe prior to flashing! The ROM will automatically perform a factory data reset.
4. If you are not already rooted (or to unbrick) you must first flash the I337UCUFNB1_Rootable_Full_Odin.tar (use Odin's PDA slot (AP in Odin v3.09+), root with Towelroot, then proceed with the above process.
5. To learn more about FlashFire's capabilities on locked bootloader devices see here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=60070810&postcount=2

Awesome
Amazing! you done it again @muniz_ri downloaded and installed perfectly!
Is there a way to root without having to flash back to nj4? I'm already on OC3 and a non-odin method like on nj4 would be pretty nice.
muniz_ri said:
Instructions:
1. Extract the I337_OC3_Stock_Rooted_Backup from the .rar archive and place it into the following folder: ext-sdcard/TWRP/BACKUPS/xxxxxx, fyi...the name of this folder will vary. If the folder does not already exist you must first use safestrap to create a nandroid backup and Safestrap will create the folder for you.
2. From Safestrap recovery press "Wipe" then "Advanced Wipe" and wipe everything but your ext-sdcard.
3. From the main menu press "Restore," then select and restore the I337_OC3_Stock_Rooted_Backup.
4. Once complete from the main menu press "Reboot," then reboot into "Download" mode.
5. Last, flash the I337_OC3_Stock_Partitions using Odin's PDA slot (AP in Odin v3.09+) and reboot. Done!
Upon reboot the Safestrap Recovery splash screen will flash a few times before pausing on the AT&T splash screen for about 2 minutes before completely rebooting. **You will no longer be able to access Safestrap Recovery from 5.0 (see notes below for workaround)**
Optional Tethering AddOn:
1. Place the I337_OC3_TetherAddOn onto your ext-sdcard.
2. From Safestrap recovery press "Install," then select and install the I337_OC3_TetherAddOn(Do not wipe prior to flashing!).
3. Reboot. Done!
Notes:
1. The above process will not affect your Knox Warranty Flag.
2. This process will update your Modem, Non-hlos, System, Kernel, Stock Recovery, and Bootloader to OC3 (BusyBox is also pre-installed).
3. Safestrap will no longer function after updating to 5.0. However you can access Safestrap recovery by flashing back the I337_NJ4_Stock_Kernel (reflash the I337_OC3_Stock_Kernel once you are done using Safestrap).
4. The most common cause of an Odin flash failure is a bad usb port or cable. Please check before reporting a failure!

Rooting tools just puts everything on your sd card that you may need if you have to start all over. TR root BusyBox And SuperSu And Safstrap. It also install SafeStrap And the SafeStrap without odin apk on your current rom. Just click on Safestrap Icon grant SuperSu access and make sure Safestrap is installed . Then click on the SafeStrap Reboot app and click flash grant SuperUser access when prompted. Then click on the reboot to safestrap box. The phone will reboot toSafeStrap without having to use odin to flash a kitkat kernel. Then you can flash your rom. Then after you flash your rom you will need to flash the Lollipop Stock kernel zip located on your External SD card and Internal SD in a folder called .1Stock_Kernel_Zip it should be the first folder at the top of the list. Install the zip that matches your firmware. Then click reboot system. No need to use odin. The above process is if your on a Lollipop Rom already. If on a kitkat rom you will need to reboot to safestrap flash rom then reboot to download mode and flash firmware
SafeStrap app in the S5 root folder says it installs. Tap reboot to recovery button just reboots. What is "SafeStrap Reboot app"? This isn't making much sense here at all
Alright so, I'm a bit new at this part since I JUST got my phone rooted finally. What the difference between this and your BOC4?

Ok this happened to me also. The only way I got it to work was this. I put the BOD5 full factory image on my internal sd card and used flashfire and flashed the system image and the cache image and the boot image added a wipe to wipe data injected root. I also had it flash the SuperSU zip 2.49 just incase the inject root didnt work Once the rom installed I activated video calling it then worked. Then I used flashfire again did a full wipe and flashed this rom and its worked ever since. I think there must be something in the cache image that triggers it and once its triggerd its fine. There might be a better way but I cant get it to do it again so I even odin back to NCG firmware and started over and when I flashed BOD5 rom and firmware video calling worked right out of the hat. Maybe dirty flashing over BOC4 then making sure video calling works then reinstalling with a full wipe might also work

You have to use the SafeStrap Reboot app to reboot to SafeStrap not the SafeStrap App. The SafeStrap Reboot App Actually flashes the NI2 kernel without using odin. Then if you installed the rooting tools for sd BOD5 zip you will have a folder on your sd card named 1.Stock_Kernel_Zip it should be the very first folder in the list. Inside that folder is the Stock kernel you will need to flash in safestrap to reboot back to rom. Just flash the Stock_Kernel_Zip and then click reboot now or reboot system from safestrap.

You cant flash a firmware file with safestrap only flashfire
**You can begin the following process from any Build/ROM but you must already have Root Access**
**Required** FlashFire - Play BETA - PREVIEW
Downloads:
- G900V_PF4_Stock_ROM.zip (For "Locked" Bootloaders - Unrooted)
- G900V_PF4_Stock_Deodexed_Debloated_ROM.zip (For "Locked" Bootloaders - Unrooted)
- G900V_PF4_Stock_Rooted_ROM.zip (For "Unlocked" Bootloaders Only!)
- G900V_PF4_Stock_Deodexed_Debloated_Rooted_ROM.zip (For "Unlocked" Bootloaders Only!)
Instructions for "Locked" Bootloaders:
1. Place the ROM onto your device (use either internal or ext-sdcard).
2. Open the FlashFire app and "Agree" to the Terms and Conditions.
3. Press "(+)" twice to bring up the "Actions" menu.
4. Select "Flash Zip or OTA" and locate and select the ROM. Leave "Auto-mount" unchecked under the "Options" menu and press the checkmark to continue.
5. From the main menu Uncheck all options under "EverRoot" and set "Reboot" setting to "Download."
6. Press the lightning bolt then "Ok" to begin the **flash.
7. Once the flash is complete and the device reboots into "Download" mode, flash the G900V_PF4_Bootloader using Odin's PDA/AP slot.
**The screen will turn black then display the contents of your system before beginning the flash. FlashFire will pause for about 1 minute while flashing the "system" partition.
Once complete your device will reboot and pause on the Verizon splash screen for 1 - 2 minutes (10 - 15 mins for deodexed version) before completely rebooting. Done!
Instructions for "Unlocked" Bootloaders: (Your Knox Warranty Bit will be tripped!)
1. Use the following guide however the above ROM's for "Unlocked" Bootloaders are pre-"system rooted," therefore there is no need to flash the SuperSu .zip file: http://forum.xda-developers.com/ver...t/rd-unlocking-galaxys-s5-bootloader-t3337909
Tip: for blazing fast speed turn off animations from Developer Options and reboot!
Known Issues:
- None!
Notes:
1. The process will update your Modem, Non-hlos, System, Kernel, Recovery, and Bootloader.
2. Native tethering is enabled on all of the ROM's.
3. No need to wipe prior to flashing, the ROM will automatically wipe User Data.
4. The Debloated version has all Google, most Verizon, and all Knox apps removed.
5. If you do not already have root access follow this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-galaxy-s5/general/root-method-og5-ok3-t3290370
6. To learn more about FlashFire's capabilities on locked bootloader devices see here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=60070810&postcount=2

Use FF's backup function to backup then restore your data after flashing.
Confirmed that after about 7min on the VZW boot animation, the deodexed version works just fine.
I wonder how long we'll get away with using the OD5 bootloader. lol.

This strikes me as very important information that should be included in the steps before it instead of being a footnote. Can anyone clarify the complete steps/process? Also, any idea what the changelog is?
EDIT: I'm on the rooted OD5 ROM from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/ver...w-to-update-to-g900vod5-5-0-keeproot-t3136945 Just trying to make head or tail of the instructions in this post. Do I need to flash the OD5 bootloader since I'm already on OD5, or what?
I'm a little confused why the first 3 steps in the FlashFire process is necessary (Google+ signup part) when you include the link for v19 just below, am i missing something here? Also, not being familiar with FlashFire, once i flash OE1 will i be given the option to boot into download mode to Odin the OD5 bootloader? I'm coming from OC4 so order is crucial here I'd imagine. Another also, i generally like deodexed roms, any caveats associated with this one? advanced voice features? My Verizon access? Thanks

I left the links to the FF thread for reference as it contains good discussion re: FF's progress.
As for the bootloader instructions, I will add the steps to the instructions. I mistakenly assumed most people already had that level of understanding.
And the deodexed version is only intended for those that plan to use xposed or themes. If you do not plan on doing either use the regular rom.

Although I would recommend just following the backup/restore method as it is faster and safer, you could open the ROM with Winzip/7zip, navigate through the META-INF folder until you get to the updater-script, then open it with Notepad, and remove this part of the script:
package_extract_file("wipedata.sh", "/tmp/wipedata.sh");
set_perm(0, 0, 0755, "/tmp/wipedata.sh");
run_program("/tmp/wipedata.sh");
then save the file and if you used Winzip, close the program and choose "Update Zip file with changes". If you used 7zip, when you close Notepad, it will ask if you want to update the file in the archive and just choose "Okay".

I noticed you mentioned if you already are on OC4 then you do not need to boot into Download mode, if I wanted to upgrade the bootloader to OD5 could I boot into download anyways and upgrade to OD5 (kill 2 birds with 1 stone kinda thing?)

Just some security fixes other than that they are pretty much the same
So if my goal is simply to access safestrap, I run the Safestrap Recovery, it reboots, I do what I need (such as make a nandroid), then flash the Safestrap safe kernel, reboot and everything remains fine?

Thank you.
One last question (hopefully). I am running ARMv7. What version of Xposed should we be running? According to this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/xposed/official-xposed-lollipop-t3030118 Arter97's sdk21 version. Is that accurate? Basically this? http://forum.xda-developers.com/xposed/unofficial-xposed-samsung-lollipop-t3113463
When upgrading your roms, is a cache / dalvik cache wipe all that is needed? When I went from BA08 to BOG5 I went ahead and wiped data, system, and the caches.
It's my Birthday and this is a wonderful present to start out with.:silly:
@jrkruse You are a damn beast with these ROM's Thanks so much for everything you do here with the community. Are you planning on doing a "dark it up" theme for this? I was really hoping for an all black and white theme. Black settings / white text type of thing. Also, how hard would it be to get a nexus system UI running on this ROM that can use layers? Kind of like the Freedom ROM?

man im on like my 15th attempt to flash a Lollipop rom where HD calling works. I keep going back to KK enabling it, making sure it works and then as soon as I try to flash any LP rom it goes back to saying to "upgrade to HD calling". I dont know what else i could do differently! Any suggestions?
Edit- im posting this here because i just flashed this rom, just making that clear

Odin Flashable Full Retail Tar Image With BOD5 Bootloaders
If your comming from KitKat or cannot get HD Calling working you may have to flash this VZW_BOK3_RETAIL_TAR_IMAGE_WITH_BOD5_BOOTLOADERS.tar.zip then activated HD calling then Flash NCG_Rescue_Tar_And_NCG_For_Root.tar and start over with rooting procedure

After flashing the bok3 full factory image from the op when the phone boots to the red Verizon screen pull the battery reboot back to stock recovery wipe data. The reboot and set up phone HD calling will then work. After you make a test call just to make sure you can begin the root process

Im glad it works. The hd calling is a pain some people have a hard time getting it to work. I personally have never had an issue with my phone but I have had problems getting it to work on another persons phone so I can relate to the problem.
If anyone downloaded the odin recovery image VZW_BOK3_RETAIL_TAR_IMAGE_WITH_BOD5_BOOTLOADERS.ta r.zip. It was brought to my attention that recovery.img was missing from tar file. This will not affect anything as the recovery.img did not change .I reuploaded it and it now contains the recovery.img so if you want you can redownload.
