Ok thanks
I rooted and am on the G925P Kernel. Now what?
What do I need to flash a ROM now? It's been 5-6 years since I've rooted a phone.
Also, I keep getting a security warning from Knox that I cannot seem to get rid of. "Unauthorized actions have been detected..."

I think to get rid of the message, use titanium backup and freeze securitylogagent. As for a ROM it depends on what you're trying to do

I had tried Titanium a few times, but could not figure out which KNOX app to freeze. Finally got it, thanks. Had to search for "securitylogagent."
As far as the ROM goes, I would like to try out a few. Fixing the LTE would be nice, but I am not holding my breath.
I used Odin to root using the G925P kernel. I have Flashify, SuperUser, Titanium, and ROM Manager v5.5.3.7.
Not sure what else I need. Last time I flashed ROMs is was a different animal. Just want to make sure I have all my bases covered and move forward without screwing anything up. Thanks for your reply!!

Shouldn't need clockwork mod being that there is no compatible recovery. You have to use TWRP. You can get that here along with some links to ROMS

No thats just a TWRP installer. You need the one in the link. Be sure to read and follow the instructions if you want everything to go right, especially unlocking the bootloader

You can flash recoveries all day and not have to wipe anything. Unless your bootloader is still locked. Have you spent some time reading up on the device at all?

Don't wipe just apply it. The updates have been patched, not the whole rom. If you wipe you could be in trouble.

I can't confidently say this because I have never used Xposed. But other folks have mentioned disabling it or uninstalling it i think?
As far as mods, if you have the camera mod etc, then just flash the stock APK for that mod so that its back as it was in it's original system state

I'm currently using the 4.4.2 Gummy Rom and I somehow lost my root but I still have my TWRP recovery. I was going to go back to stock unrooted and use the Casual toolkit to get back to where I was, but my flash count is tipped.
I feel like I'm in a loop because I can't root on 4.4 and because I lost my root I can't use Triangle Away to fix my flash count, but I feel like I'm missing something. Is there anyway I can get my root back to use Triangle Away?
Thanks, any help is appreciated.

Got it! thanks guys!
So I saw here that the NE5 update was out, and I want to install it. However, obviously I can't do an OTA update due to it being a "modified device." I am running Philz Recovery and root from flashing SuperSU.zip.
Is there any way to update manually, without losing root (permanently), recovery, or wiping all my data? I know that I could always restore the stock recovery and firmware via ODIN, but that would get rid of everything, including my data.
(Side question: What exactly does the NE5 update add? I know it's another build of 4.4.2 but what features?)
Thanks.
SOLVED: Just went the long route with wiping and installing the updated NE5 firmware via ODIN. Flashed Philz recovery and SuperSU.
Admins/Mods feel free to delete.

The NE5 file is already deodexed and rooted. Therefore, you don't lose root. You get Wi-Fi calling feature with this updated. And, I believe it's an update to the modem.

If it takes you back to full stock then you can re-root using the same method you rooted the first time and it will root just fine.

Yes, that would be a good idea. PhilZ has a special feature in the factory reset to wipe out everything for installing a new rom. Use that feature and you're good to go.

I would Odin to OE2 so you get all the firmware bits. Then you can re-root and flashfire it.
So here's my situation. The company I work for is switching to at&t so I'm going to sell my phone.
I'm trying to avoid using Odin because I've got a guy that wants to buy right after work.
If I download this and flash,can I factory reset so that I can give him the phone as it was coming out of the box?
Thanks for any and all help.

I keep reading posts that tell me to flash Magisk using custom recovery but my phone says 'update from external storage is disabled' so that's a no go.. And I can't use Odin because it's a ZIP file, not MD5, .TAR, SMD. etc. What else can I do? I've only ever managed to root my phone once and that was using CF AUTO Root which can be flashed by Odin.

Please tell us the specific phone model and rom. Magisk need to be flashed (installed) using a custom recovery e.g. TWRP. TWRP can be flashed using Odin even if the device isn't actually rooted.

You can download TWRP as .tar.md5 and flash it using Odin.
Best case is to install Magisk on a fresh installation without root/exposed framework already installed.

Why would you suggest that? In case I reach a point where apps are no longer compatible with my outdated software? Thanks, I might do that. I have stuck with 5.1 simply because I'm preferring it and also Marshmallow have made it harder to bypass security and root the device. I'm thinking it might not be safe now that I know this is a modded ROM, so I should probably look for an official one.
Can I make a Nandroid backup with TWRP? That sounds like it could be useful for any hiccups.

Why would you suggest that? In case I reach a point where apps are no longer compatible with my outdated software? Thanks, I might do that. I have stuck with 5.1 simply because I'm preferring it and also Marshmallow have made it harder to bypass security and root the device. I'm thinking it might not be safe now that I know this is a modded ROM, so I should probably look for an official one.

Marshmallow is already fully supported and you will be able to get full control to anything you like. Usually you can trust roms you get at the XDA forum as its a pretty active community and harmfull users would be banned real quickly. The only point is that modded stock rom or custom roms like LineageOS and derivates may not be stable and cause functionality issues.
So I've used this forum to find TWRP for my device https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...official-experimental-twrp-galaxy-s5-t3293379, I'm not sure how to 'Run flash-recovery.sh' because, as I mentioned, it won't let me flash from my SD card.. Any help would be appreciated!
UPDATE: Managed to get TWRP as my custom recovery. Thanks so much for your help! I genuinely had no idea you could flash TWRP onto your phone! I was using the app which is hopeless. Most forums I've found say 'boot in recovery' which is quite unclear if you're not familiar with that..
Can I flash Nougat update onto my S5 Neo? It's originally not supported, that's the only reason I'm asking..
Can I still root with Magisk on that operating system as well and restore from Nandroid backup?
