Anyone willing to try OG5 Root? - Verizon Galaxy S 5 General

I was looking into the S5 OG5 root a while ago and I sold the device I had because there didn't seem to be a way to root it. I do have a rooted S4 and there was recently a new root method found for the 5.0.1 S4 rom that was released after the OG5 rom for the S5. The MobileGo website says it also supports the S5 so if anyone with OG5 unrooted wants to give this a try and let others know whether it works or not, I'm sure everyone would appreciate it. You guys are probably going to want to flash an older S5 kernel just like the S4 users flashed an older kernel before running the MobileGo program.

Where do I find kernels to flash? I am willing to try this.

What you can do for now is try running MobileGo using the kernel you have now. If you're lucky, it'll root. If not, you can read on:
So what I would do first is download the latest version of Odin: http://odindownloadxda.com/Odin3_v3.10.7.zip
Then you'd want to go to this thread for the Odin flashable stock kernels for older versions:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/ver...t/safestrap-odin-safestrap-flashable-t3161043
BEFORE YOU TRY THESE NEXT STEPS: I was unable to find the stock OG5 Odin flashable kernel in these forums. If someone could kindly extract it from the stock OG5 rom and post on here you can begin the next steps. Don't try this before you have the stock OG5 kernel on hand because the older kernels may not let your phone boot up into the rom and the only way to fix it is to either reflash the entire OG5 rom in Odin or to flash the OG5 kernel in Odin. I think you can make the kernel yourself if you have the stock OG5 Odin tar, just extract the boot.img and pack it into a tar.md5 using http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2446269 Here is a stock OG5 odin flashable kernel I was able to create for you: https://mega.nz/#!SEhzyKaL!ymd4vJ2Jd6ytbZoBIPp4fYh6fCRz0tELRMNAYVmIrqU
Once you have the OG5 kernel as a backup, try flashing VZW_BOD5_RETAIL_KERNEL_ONLY.tar.md5 and run MobileGo, if that doesn't work move on to VZW_BOC4_RETAIL_KERNEL_ONLY.tar.md5 then trying the MobileGo and then if that fails try NI2_stock_kernel.tar.md5 since that's the 4.4 kernel that was rootable. However, there's a strong chance that your phone will refuse to boot into the Lollipop rom using a KitKat kernel. All you have to do is flash back the OG5 kernel in Odin 3.10. Once you go through the different kernels from OG5 -> OE1 -> OC4 -> NI2 and the MobileGo program fails to root on any of them, you'll know that this is not a viable root method for the S5.

I couldn't get MobileGo to connect to my phone on OG5. I flashed the OE1 kernel, connected to MobileGo, then used Mobilego's backup feature. After that I noticed that there's a notification reading SECURITY NOTICE Unauthorized actions have been detected. Restart the device to correct them. I tried the MobileGo root and after about 5 minutes it gave me a failure message. Then I tried to proceed to BOC4 but I kept getting failures from Odin. I cannot get back to OG5 kernel either. After a few tries, I now cannot even get into download mode.
The good news is my phone is working. What do I do now? Is this "tripping Knox?"

Pull the battery. Press the buttons for download mode. There should be no case in such you can't access download mode unless you hard bricked your phone which you didn't since the phone is working. Mobilego doesn't specify if their root method trips Knox. Probably should assume it does but if the root failed then it should've left Knox alone. After a clean battery pull try flashing the OG5 kernel back to your phone.

I can now get into download mode. If I try the older kernels I get a status bar that goes about 1cm then stops. If I try the kernel you gave me for OG5 ODIN says the binary is corrupt before even letting me flash it.

Hey, I might have created the flashable kernel incorrectly. Sorry, this is my first time creating flashable odin images. Try this one: https://mega.nz/#!SEhzyKaL!ymd4vJ2Jd6ytbZoBIPp4fYh6fCRz0tELRMNAYVmIrqU
You can try flashing that over your OG5 rom right now since it's the OG5 kernel and it won't change anything on your phone even if it does flash.

That guide is from before the OG5 update though. However, my basis for trying this is because it was able to root an S4 5.0.1 rom that was released well after the S5 OG5 rom was released. I was thinking that they would've implemented the same root-fixes into the S4 as the S5 so if the mobilego method worked on the patched S4 rom then it should have a good chance of working on the S5. I would test all this myself but I sold my brother's S5 a couple days ago.

I dont know if odin will let you flash an older kernel other that OE1 if it does just ignore this post if not you can try this , I put together a Heimdall package that may flash the kernel and let this method work.
Instructions:
1. Download and install Heimdall For S5
2. Put phone into download mode (power+volume down+home)
3. Navigate to extracted Heimdall folder and run heimdall-frontend.exe
4. Click on utilities tab and click detect
5. Click on Flash tab in the Under Options PIT click browse and choose s5.pit
6. Under Partion Files click add
7. Change the Partion Name to BOOT
8. Click Browse and choose boot.img
9. Click Start.
If you get driver errors follow below
10. In the Heimdall folder open the Drivers folder and click on zadig.exe
11. Under options click on List All Devices
12. Choose MSM8960
13. Choose Install or Reinstall Driver
14 Go Back to Step 4
15. If devices does reboot and start with older kernel ignore any security warnings and try the root method

Thanks for your input jrkruse! I read here http://mobile.tumblrvip.com/2015/09/23/successfully-downgrade-from-bog5-kernel-to-any-kernel-solved/ that Odin 3.10 should allow S5 users to downgrade OG5 to any older kernel supposedly.

Okay. Here's my assessment of the ODIN method.
OG5 on OG5 Kernel - MobileGo Cannot Root this
OG5 on OE1 Kernel - MobileGo Cannot Root This
OG5 on OC4 Kernel - MobileGo Cannot Root This
OG5 on NI2 Kernel - Bad idea. I was stuck in a boot loop for like an hour before I got back to Download mode to reflash the whole stock image.
You can flash any of these kernels from ODIN, and you can flash everything back to rescue yourself. If you leave one of the older kernels on your phone too long, it will soft brick. If somebody figures out a root method that works, ODIN will be able to help use move between Kernels. This has been a fun first foray into Android Hacking. I still hate my phone.
Thank you fates13 and jrkruse, you guys rock.

Thanks for testing!

All those people complaining that their updated device can't be rooted, not willing to try this out?

Can confirm that the root does not work and that the NI2 kernel will not successfully boot lollipop. Root might be theoretically possible if NI2 could boot....any thoughts on how to get into lollipop with the NI2 kernel in place?

I have an unrooted VZW S5 with OG5 and would like to give it a shot, but download mode hasn't worked for me since OE1. Holding power+vol down+home just boots the device normally. I've tried holding them all the way through the boot, which causes the phone to repeatedly reboot. Am I missing something?
Edit: Nevermind, guess I was pressing power first. I've got download mode now. Will report back if I make any progress...

Verizon
This is unfortunate.
So we are back to square one?
But if I understand, MySonsDad confirmed we have no reason to not update to OK3 since we can jump between the locked kernels?

So no root for 5.0? I've got to start researching these things before I buy a phone.

Same here, I figured it would be a similar process as rooting my Nexus 5 when I was on AT&T. The Verizon and Samsung bloatware is painful when it can't be removed.

Is there no update on this? I'm willing to anything at this point.

[Q] 4.3 Update + TWRP

So I have TWRP installed on my rooted Galaxy S3 (I535), and the 4.3 update just came out and was available to me.
I downloaded it, and tried to install it (I know that it will remove root), and when it finished downloading, it opened the TWRP boot menu.
Does anyone else who uses TWRP know how to install the new update? I couldn't find it and it wouldn't automatically install....

You kind of only have 2 options now. Attempt a "dirty" flash of a ROM so you can save your internal SD files then odin or do the full Odin wipe and forget about keeping the files. Either way unless anyone else has a idea you lose your current setup.

There's no way for me to install the update unless I flash to another ROM? I don't see why I can;t just update and lose odin and TWRP or whatever

OK I'll explain what I think went bad.when you downloaded the update it was expecting factory stock recovery to finish the install. Since you had twrp it failed. FYI Odin is a program on the PC to communicate with the phone in download mode (Odin mode). try to do a factory reset before you go crazy with my other suggestions. I have a feeling one of the 3 options I gave you are your only options.

Yeah but you already soft bricked it. Any brick you do you should be able to fix. just so you know you backed yourself into a corner. No matter what you do you have a chance of bricking. Its all part of being a power user. If your uncomfortable with that after you are on 4.3 you might not want to root.

Yeah I know there's always the chance of bricking, just wanted to know if that specific thing would do it. I've been into rooting since my Droid 1, Droid 2, and Droid X. But I'm always cautious.
If I do a factory reset and back up all my data, will it get rid of odin and TWRP and everything? Then just install the 4.3 update and root using safe root? Would that work?

You would need to flash stock recovery completely replacing twrp. so if factory reset works and you can boot you should beable to flash stock recovery then redo the ota.

Factory reset deals with the rom. So no it will stay twrp.
---------- Post added at 05:45 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:40 PM ----------
Using Odin is a lot like SBF'ing on the droid x (that was my last phone also). So if you can remember installing cyanogen mod 6 or 7 you probably always did a factory reset before first boot. Custom recovery stays intact the only way to get rid of it was to flash stock recovery with terminal emulator or sbf back to pure stock. Luckily Odin let's us flash the recover by its self so we have more options with Samsung.

Just got this phone and I have a few questions?

So i just got this phone. I was told it was rooted and running alliance rom but its not they took it back to stock i guess. I am wanting to put alliance rom on it. It is on 4.3 and its nc1. It has safestrap on it because super user is on it and when i go into the safestrap app and go to recovery it takes me to the safestrap recovery. I tried to install twrp and it said root was required so i check root with root checker and it says its not rooted. My goal is to have it rooted running alliance rom (or if y'all have any suggestions on roms lol feel free to suggest) and being running smooth. any information would be helpful. thanks! :good:

use safestrap to install alliance, Now that you are on 4.3 you can not use the normal version of twrp. You can install over the stock rom I wouldn't recommend it but I understand why people do.

I think its just the modules you need to flash (fixes wifi for locked phones). The modem flash is for people on a unlocked bootloader. If you have connectivity problems try to flash the modem file because alliance is based on ml1 and nobody is sure if the modem is different in the new update.

As long as you don't try to downgrade past 4.3 or try to unlock your bootloader your pretty safe. Any brick you encounter can easily be fixed by a ml1 or nc1 odin flash. If the modem doesn't work with alliance you wont brick by flashing the ml1 modem. seriously stay away from pre 4.3 odin files, bootloader unlock, and custom recovery's that are not safestrap its a headache to unbrick. Also be aware that you can only flash touch wiz 4.3 roms (no aosp).

[How-To] Update to G900V_OA8 - 5.0 and KeepRoot (2/3/2015)

**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.
muniz_ri said:
**You can Odin back to NK2 at anytime after updating to OA8 5.0**
1. Place the G900V_OA8_100%_Stock_Rooted_ROM onto your ext-sdcard.
2. Use Safestrap's "Backup" function to backup your User Data.
3. Next, press "Home" and perform an "Advanced Wipe" and wipe everything but your ext-sdcard.
4. Flash the ROM using the "Stock Slot."
5. Once complete press "Home" then "Restore" and restore User Data.
6. Last, press "Reboot" and reboot into "Download Mode" and flash the G900V_OA8_Stock_Kernel in Odin's PDA slot(AP in Odin v3.09+). Done!
The phone will pause on the Verizon splash screen for about 2 minutes after following the above process before completing booting.
Notes:
1. The above process will not affect your User Data or Knox Warranty Flag.
2. This Custom ROM process will update your Modem, Non-hlos, System, Kernel, Stock Recovery, and Bootloader to OA8.
3. Safestrap will no longer function after updating to OA8 5.0.
4. When flashing the kernel the most common cause of an Odin flash failure is a bad usb port or cable. Please check before reporting a failure!

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.

[G930F][Nougat] Installing TWRP or rooting resulting in eternal flashing Samsung logo

Hey,
So yesterday I decided to flash the BTU Nougat 7.0 firmware to my EE S7 and all went well and the device booted normally, after this I tried to install TWRP onto my device which also went well, I installed the no-verify zip (or whatever it's called) and tried to boot the phone and I was just greeted with the flashing Samsung logo for an hour, after this I used Odin to flash my phone back my phone to the BTU nougat ROM and everything was fine, later I tried to use CF-Auto-Root which once again resulted in the flashing Samsung logo, I also tried wiping my data with TWRP and booting but to no use, same error occurred. Can anyone help, really I only need TWRP as I just want Google assistant (Yes I know, probably not worth tripping the KNOX for but I want it) and for this I just need to install a zip file.
Thanks!
EDIT: Fully resolved, just installed the Superman ROM and all is well. Thanks for the help!

tbh to make things less hassle download any custom roms avail and used it. i gave up when i had the same issues as yours or maybe slightly worse losing my IMEI and baseband too. did install twrp to the cm14.1 rom and now using superman rom's everything was fine root is there too.
---------- Post added at 06:12 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:05 AM ----------
but if you still insist on using the stock rom with just root what i can suggest u to do is turn off that oem lock in the settings and enable usb debugging. 1) Odin flash your twrp.zip files 2) Download supersu.zip or any rootable zip files 3) and extra modifications/tweaks you wanna add in such as the no-verify thingy 4) Always download your stock original firmware in case you messed it up.

That's because you trigger DM variety. You need to flash custom kernel. And yes you can use magisk but I will recommend SuperSU for flawless root priviliges. I'm also using 930FD and it happened with me too in the beginning. So I flashed a custom kernel with dm variety disabled. You can get all the files from XDA forums. Just look for them in Exonys section.
---------- Post added at 07:52 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:28 PM ----------
Okay here you go.
1) Download TWRP for Galaxy S7 FD from here twrp-3.1.1-0-herolte.img.tar.
2) Download SuperKernel v2.8 from here. Thanks to @Tkkg1994.
3) Download SuperSU Flashable Zip from Recovery Flashable.zip.
4) Download latest Odin from here. Also download the Samsung USB drivers.
Now that you have done downloading files. Let's go to the next steps.
5) Transfer the SuperSU Flashable Zip and SuperKernel Zip to your SD Card. Internal or external doesn't matter.
6) Extract and open Odin on your PC and restart your GS7 in download mode.
7) Connect your phone via a usb cable. If you see odin detected your phone, then it's fine. If it doesn't just reinstall Samsung USB Drivers in your PC.
8) Assuming that your PC has successfully detected your phone, click AP and browse to the TWRP File that you downloaded in your PC. Make sure to uncheck "Auto Reboot" in Odin. This is very important otherwise you will be stuck in the bootloop.
9) Now when the TWRP is flashed. Press and hold Power button + Home + Volume Down for some time and as soon as the screen goes black, switch your finger from Volume Down to Volume Up instantly, not leaving the other two buttons. Keep the buttons pressed until you see the TWRP screen.
10) After booting into TWRP slide right to allow modifications. Now go to Install and select the SuperKernel Zip, swipe right to flash.
11) After flashing SuperKernel, select the SuperSU zip and swipe right to flash.
12) After flashing, reboot system. The phone might reboots a couple to times but don't touch it. Let it complete the boot. That's it.
This is how I did. May the odds be in your favor. Good luck.

Bro, dm variety is an automatic feature included in the stock kernel. When you flash SuperKernel, your stock kernel is replaced by SuperKernel which has dm variety disabled already.

I think you haven't tried flashing SuperKernel. I'm 100% sure that after flashing SuperKernel, you will be able to boot.
