[Help] Wifi connects but doesn't work

It started when I tried to install a CM11 update. I did not see that was only for KK BL, then I tried to revert to stock rom(using RSD lite) and install the old version for the JB BL again, but my wifi still not working(or working only when it wants lol).
Anyone could help me?
I tried to flash a lot of different roms, even reset with RSD, but the issue stills. I don't know what more I can do
Thx for the att and sorry for my horrible english...

If you are rooted, the OTA will fail, so you have to flash back to stock before taking OTAs.
If you are locked and you take an OTA, you will lose access to whatever exploit was patched. In the case of going from JB to KK, the original root (Saferoot I believe) won't work. However, Towelroot will work for those that have locked bootloaders.
However, if you are rooted and on the latest official KK, then you can unlock your bootloader and then, no matter what OTA comes out after that, you will still be able to root your phone without the use of an exploit like Towelroot. Instead, you take .zip image of the SU app you are using and flash it in TWRP or CWM recovery. No exploit needed.
Towelroot is only for those that don't have an unlocked bootloader and it's an exploit (a security issue) within the specific version of the Android OS. OTAs patch these as they are released, which means another exploit has to be discovered in order to achieve root for locked bootloaders.
So, right now, if you are not unlocked, you better unlock on the initial KK release because the latest soak test does patch Towelroot and the bootloader exploit. You've been warned.

Always need root just to install custom roms . If we can install roms without root , then we don't need root anymore ( I am still lost ). Now I can wait for custom 6.1 roms.

Its not ideal but at least you dont have to go through the whole reroot process each time you want to change roms. And you can still flash zips etc in safestrap.

Reserved

Can we run and use apps which require ROOT access?
I'm a bit confused though. Don't custom ROMs come pre-rooted???? So wouldn't flashing a custom ROM which is pre-rooted....... remain rooted?

You cannot have a rooted MM rom with locked bootloader because to have root requires a custom kernel which locked bootloaders cannot flash. It doesnt matter if the rom is prerooted or not! Stock Boot.img means no root. You cannot run apps that require root with these roms All this method does if give you some options the biggest option being the ability to flash zips. and change roms with out having to odin back to stock pb1 then reroot then. Try the stock MM rom I posted. Once installed you can flash a debloatzip or a knox removal zip or delete apps from safestrap with the built in file manager If you dont like you can always downgrade back to PB1

@jrkruse How does this work?
Based on my knowledge from reading this, it seems that the kernel finds the checksum of the system partition and then only boots if it is unmodified.
Shouldn't modifying the system partition in the slightest bit throw this checksum off?
Also - modified kernels CAN be flashed on locked bootloaders - just not via Odin. They only won't boot though >.>

Download this rom
Download my Patch
In safestrap do a manual wipe. Wipe Data,WipeCache,Wipe System
Install Rom
Install patch
This rom Does not flash system.img so you dont need to install safestrap it will stay installed
After patch is installed wipe data and wipe cache and install MM Bootloader zip
Reboot it will take 15 to 20 min to boot
Now you will Have A Note 5 port with working theme support

Quick question... I've been on Lineage, and have flashed this and gone back (to update the baseband). But, do you know off-hand, how do I easily root on this image? My BL is still unlocked and I've got TWRP reinstalled.

If you have TWRP installed, just flash a SuperSU zip (i.e. SuperSU 2.79 SR3) in recovery and you'll be rooted.
Unless of course you're talking about going back to Lineage and re-rooting. In that case, you'll have to use the Lineage root zip, which I don't have a link to.

It depends. It could be a .tar file you flash via Odin or it could be a flashable zip via TWRP. It depends on the maker of the file.
It's just the modem.bin file from the update. I don't have the time to make one for it right now.

On a side note, it seems like Verizon read the recent articles where the Galaxy S5 was still rated as the most popular smart phone being used on any network. Meaning, they are updating the phone monthly now, which is good news for us. We won't ever get Nougat but apparently we'll get Security Patches monthly now.

flashed the update but phone stuck on verizon logo.

i would assume due to the fact that the bootloader is not its bootloader it froze/locked up , so heres my question if i flash the non dev friendly one , can that bootloader be unlocked or its better not to risk it?

Since there no tut regarding an unlocked version of this update I simply updated from bpb1 to qa1 , just needed my modem to be somewhat up to date , but it seems that it's def a tx rx issue in my case , so my best bet is a custom kernel with that feature included.

I didn't think a tutorial was necessary as I've never had to give one in the past. If your device is unlocked, you should know it. That's the only reason there is a Dev Friendly version of the update. It won't unlock your bootloader, but it won't lock it if it is unlocked. That's the only reason I make a Developer Bootloader Friendly version of updates.
If you want to update your modem but not the firmware, open either of the files in 7zip/WinZip, extract the modem.bin, then repackage it as a .tar file and flash it in Odin.

In regard to your previous post, there is no problem with the MD5 for either file or any problem with the files themselves. I test them both before uploading them to prevent problems like this for people. I flashed the Dev Friendly version on both of my eMMc 15 S5's and experienced zero problems. The phone will hang on the "Verizon logo" for a minute or two at first boot but it will go past it and continue to "Optimizing" after that.
If you flash the Stock version, if your bootloader is unlocked, it will lock it and in order to re-unlock it, you'll have to use jrkruse's unlock method which requires you to go back to PB1. As of this post, he has not created a QD1 bootloader unlocker. The latest bootloader unlocker he has created is for QC2, which still requires you to have an unlocked bootloader prior to flashing it.
EDIT: Also, if you use an app like Package Disabler Pro to disable applications without root, it can cause updates to hang indefinitely at first boot if you don't re-enable all disabled applications and turn off/remove Admin rights for Package Disabler Pro prior to updating. I've experienced this in the past with both of my S5's and my S7. I'm not directing this at you KazuDante, this is just a warning to all.

No. The Developer Bootloader Friendly version is just that, friendly to devices with a Developer Bootloader. Meaning it won't remove Developer Bootloader status/lock the bootloader.
If I had figured out a way to help all of the eMMc 11 people unlock their bootloader, I would've made a thread that clearly stated that.
I think the only way people with Toshiba eMMc's will get an unlocked bootloader is if either
A: Verizon provides an update to unlock the bootloaders on all S5's AFTER they stop putting out Security Updates, which is highly unlikely since it is Verizon, they've never done it before, and there's no end to Security Updates in sight.
B: Someone at Samsung or Verizon leaks an engineering bootloader. This is the most likely scenario since it's happened before. First, in my experience, with the VZW S3, and the latest being with the S7. There's still hope but it may rely on someone from within Verizon or Samsung feeling bad for us.
Sorry

@Dudash Any idea how to go from the Dev-friendly QD1 version you uploaded to a TWRP flashable zip file which resembles the jrkruse VZW_QA1_STOCK_ROOTED_DEODEXED.zip? I really like to debloat and root before flashing. Thanks!

This is basically the same thing they are doing with other devices. Since Samsung never released their September Security patch due to them addressing the BlueBorne problem, they have been re-releasing the QH* updates as QI* but they include the BlueBorne patch. For some reason, Verizon didn't include the BlueBorne patch in the changelog like they have been for every other phone.
For example. The Galaxy S6, Galaxy S8, and Galaxy S8+ updates all say
Includes: Blueborne security patch

Also, I'm not sure how much longer I'll be doing this though because the screen on my S5 is going bad (flickering and flashing green whenever I bring it out of sleep) so this weekend I'm getting an S8+.

so its safe to say that the new modem ql2 is pretty much the same sa the previous update?

Updated to this build from QH2, flashed in odin, then booted up, reflashed TWRP and SU, froze system updater all good. If you do end up leaving, this will just be another loss for this model as no one else is updating the stock images anymore.

Thank you for your work on this. Does this have root, and if not, do those of us with locked bootloaders have a way to keep root and safestrap?

For the record, this loses root, and loses safestrap. I'm too dumb to know how to root this since I can't get TWRP on this phone, so I'm going to hope the way back to root and safestrap is get back Kitkat and then up to PB1 starting over using these steps.. This will probably be better for someone who knows what they're doing or just wants to upgrade for the security updates and doesn't care about root.

I have a 15 Emmc chip and unlocked the bootloader via this thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/ve.../testers-required-easier-root-method-t3561529
I flashed EMMC_15_VZW_QB2_STOCK_MAGISK_ROOT.zip to my phone. I also have TWRP installed.
Now, if I understand all this correctly, I can simply flash your Developler Boatloader friendly version via TWRP? This will upgrade my OS to the latest update? Then flash Magisk to get root back?
This all seems too simple.

You will also have to re-flash TWRP via Odon.

I too followed the instructions in the thread above for a CID 15 eMMC.
I was unable to flash the "G900VVRU2DQI2_G900VVZW2DQI2_G900VVRU2DQI2_HOME_No_ Aboot.tar.md5.zip" from the OP using TWRP, but was able to do it no problem using Odin 3.12 (AP option).
After flashing that I then used Odin again (AP option) to flash the latest TWRP (https://dl.twrp.me/klte/twrp-3.1.1-0-klte.img.tar.html). I then did another factory reset on the phone (since I had already just wiped my data following the bootloader instructions) and reinstalled Magisk from TWRP and MagiskManager.
Everything looks great so far. Thanks for this update OP and for those of you providing guidance.

I have G900VVRU2DPD1 with unlocked bootloader and twrp 3.0.0-0.
Can I flash the
Developer Bootloader Friendly/No Aboot No-Wipe Firmware:
G900VVRU2DQI2_G900VVZW2DQI2_G900VVRU2DQI2_HOME_No_ Aboot.tar.md5.zip ?
If yes, after flashing, will my bootloader remain PD1 unlocked? Is it OK to have unlocked PD1 bootloader with DQI2 firmware?
Will the TWRP and root be lost? And how I can get back TWRP? Using ODIN? If root is lost then can not use flashify to flash TWRP.
If using odin to flash TWRP, then I can just flash supersu zip in zip to get root back, right?
Thanks.

I guess this is slightly off topic since it's not about this specific firmware version, but here goes ~
How do you guys go about extracting firmware/modems from stock ROM updates?? It boggles my mind lol. I'm running a OP3T now, but am working on an old device (and I still have my old S5 too). Over the years it appears people are now able to do this process for most devices and make it flashable one way or another.
I wish I understood how this gets done (and possibly figure out how to do it myself). Would love a guide / video / brief explanation with terms I could look up if it's long & involved??
Thanks for the work!

Stock ROM update is just a tar archive with files inside.
The names of the files are mostly self-explaining.
Use some tool to access the archive, like Total Commander or 7zip archiver.

Just pack what you want into tar archive and it will be flashable.
No need to attach checksum.
But it's possible too.

Can I reuse the same Magisk from the "EMMC_15_VZW_QB2_STOCK_MAGISK_ROOT.zip" file from the other thread on how to unlock bootloader and root, or should I download the latest Magisk and MagiskManager?
Edit 1: Okay, I installed Magisk after updating to the latest QI2 and am rooted. However, I found that I'm missing busybox and safestrap. Do I have to reinstall both of those as well or can I just reinstall busybox?
Also, QI2 lost tether/hotspot capability as it reverted back to asking to purchase the service (I'm also on the old grandfathered unlimited plan)...is there a way to get it back as when on rooted QB2?
Edit 2: Did some more research while hiding at work...so now I know, having TWRP recovery is enough and just need to reinstall busybox.
Now still need to find a way to get hotspot capability back like when on the rooted magisk QB2...

Just a simple question.
I'm not very experimented with the whole s5 modding thing, but is there really no way to have root on cid11 mm ?

There really is no way to have root on Android Marshmallow 6.0 with Emmc_CID_11 but you have safestrap so you can install xposed or most mod zips , delete system files you dont want etc

In that case you most likely need to do a full wipe, as well as formatting data,( the option were you have to type yes), in TWRP. The ROM works flawlessly on my phone. Good luck and insure that you have backed all your data first because this Will erase all data on internal storage.

it's possible to install Flyme OS 6 with CID 11?

No because flume OS like all custom (roms, or most) require an unlocked bootloader. CID11 g900v can't be bootloader unlocked.

So sad to know it, thanks for helping me!

Oh man... I may have to knock my rust off and give this a go... Last chance to get up to a more recent security patch for my poor CID 11

( G900V+ CID 15 ) I want to install LineageOS after rooting, at which step i should flash the rom file and gapps file.. instead of the EMMC_15_VZW_QL1_MAGISK_ROOTED.zip... I just want to be sure

Just make sure that you have everything good and backed up. Do a full wipe in twrp / you may need to update twrp (klte version works for klrevzw now, as do klte aosp roms) flash rom gapps and root if you want it. / Reboot/ enjoy.

Anyone have any luck running Blackberry work with this magisk rom? I have apps hidden using magisk hide, Google play shows it is certified, but Blackberry work fails enrollment. On stock, it works fine. This is on a CID 15 phone.
Apparently Blackberry Work does more checks than google safety net and can detect modification. If anyone has any ideas how I can make Blackberry work think my phone is not modified, please let me know.
I've tried core only mode, hiding the app. What else can I try?

towel root
:trying to run towel root massage this phone isn't currently supported

Is compatible with xposed ?

The instructions worked like a charm on my EMMC 11. Props to the Op !
One question....looking to install AOKP or LineageOS which needs latest TWRP to install. How do I upgrade TWRP in Safestrap on the EMMC 11? I only see the new version for EMMC 15.
Thanks
