@jrkruse Today I was like i wonder when Jr will release the newest OG5? You're the man Kruse!
Sent from my SM-G900V using XDA Free mobile app
Happy
I am glad that the best is working hard at making this rom for us.
Haha, yeah, I was wondering what the turnaround time was going to be.
BTW, I found transparent overlays that actually work. This is the first time I applied one that touched framework-res that didn't result in spectacular failure. It's $0.99, but I paid the toll.

nice work as usual ... just in case anyone asks i was able to dirty flash from jk's boe1 stk deox without any problems. i just reflashed xposed and rebooted a 2nd time and everything is working great. oh i also used flashfire to flash everything and it worked great (i did wipe cache and dalvik after flashing all 3 files inside flashfire)
it hung up on the verizon animation for several minutes on first boot so be patient..
What order did you flash the files in Flashfire, Splink007? And what version of Flashfire? V19 or the current one?

im using flashfire v.21 and i queued the bog5 rom , the og5 kernel and then the firmware and lastly clear dalvik and cache. took about 10 mins to reboot back to loading applications screen and then once i was back up i used flashfire to reload xposed and when it rebooted everything was working in full and all my settings and wanam were up and running. probably the easiest flash evah. probably because i was running the last version of this.
btw this version shows as not vulnerable to stagefright.. so if your looking to close the loophole on your phone this is worth the upgrade
Added odexed version of rom
Added Red Dark It Up Theme will work on both deodex and odex roms
Updated Teel Dark It Up Theme to work with deodex and odexed rom also improved some theming

Not vulnerable to all stagefright problems or just the ones that were in the OG5 update?
There's one that wasn't patched with the update.
I'm trying to upgrade from BOE1 Deodexed using FlashFire 21, but it keeps failing when installing System saying that some symlinks could not be created. It then reboots. Any ideas? I was able to install the firmware but not the ROM.
Thanks a bunch. So it looks like this firmware is safe to flash on the developer edition because it doesn't touch the bootloader. Is this correct? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Do not flash any of my firmware packages or firmware zips on Dev edition. They contain bootloaders. The roms zips are fine as they only flash rom and kernels

I use safestrap but I just successfully flashed both odex and deodexed roms using Flashfire, so I would check md5 of zip

Are you on my BOE1 rom? Try uninstalling Flashfire and reinstall it or try safestrap
Flashed OE1 deodexed (from the muniz thread last night) and noticed folks were having issues flashing the deodexed from this thread over that with flashfire.
I am going to give the deodexed one a shot shortly via Flashfire v21
Update; Flashed Successfully
Order of operation in Flashfire v.21 (after setting screen timeout to 10 minutes in System -.> Display)
* BOG5_Firmware.zip (automount unchecked)
* VZW_BOG5_STOCK_ROM_DEODEXED.zip (automount unchecked)
* Wipe Dalvik Cache and Cache partition options selected (uncheck others)
* Reboot Normal as I am coming from OE1
After phone reboots, verizon logo for 3-4 minutes, then "Android is upgrading Optimizing app xxx of 327 " for 7 -8 minutes., then "starting apps" and finally "finishing boot" to home screen.
Build Reported: OG5
Kernel: 3.4.0 July 31 build.
Root: preserved. If coming from OE1, this was not a complete factory reset. Data and apps are preserved.
I am guessing the problems in the other thread are because this ROM needs the firmware first if coming from a muniz stock ROM.

Thanks a bunch for the clarification. Much appreciated!
I did a dirty flash (wipe dalvik + cache) from muniz_ri's OE1 deodexed to the deodexed OG5 here using Flashfire v0.21, flashed the safestrap update, flashed xposed framework, then debloated/debloated the extra junk that came with OG5. Hotspot is working, and everything seems to be fine.
@jrkruse, what exactly is SBrowser, I've been trying to figure it out, but haven't been able to find any information on it after searching. Also, what is SBrowserTry.apk, I assume it's something I can get rid of? Sounds like some trial or instructions bloat.
Edit: is SBrowser just the stock Samsung browser? Cause it's literally the first time I've seen it.

Sbrowser is the stock Internet browser that for some reason isn't available on Verizon roms. You can delete the Sbrowsertry apk I'm not sure what it does but Sbrowser seems to work without it
Hello, VERY late post, but my life is going downhill. FINALLY had time to do this. Thanks @jrkruse for the modded ROM's

Thumbs up
I just flashed this (STOCK_MAGISK version, it's going on my Mom's phone so odex/deodex isn't a big deal); worked great. I was a little surprised there was still a lot of Samsung apps, I guess those don't count as Verizon bloat?
I was just trying to install an ad block but somehow lost root. Supersu can't find the su binary. I know this was working prior. Do I just need to flash supersu zip again?
---------- Post added at 08:46 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:56 AM ----------
Answer my own question, yes just download the latest supersu zip, flash via twrp, wipe cache/dalvik and wait for the boot (5-10) minutes.
Supersu app now working.
I'm on PF4 unlocked bootloader. Is there any advantage to upgrading my bootloader to PJ2? Sometime I prefer the theory "if it ain't broke..."
Thanks
I am on unlock bootloader (pb1) please help me how can update my bootloader to pd1 or later and then flash this rom.

Excellent work, very fluid and excellent functionality, 100% compatible with Xposed.
Lost advanced calling
Has anybody else lost advanced calling features?
I upgraded unlocked bl from 5.0 stock kernel to 6.0.1 pj2.
installed the stock magisk deodexed rom.
Now I don't have advanced calling/wifi calling.
Any help?
I've installed 2 versions of the pj2 roms, and they both show knox installed in about phone in settings. Thought knox was removed?
I have a question, because of the little space left by the installation of the original ROM in general, I decided to eliminate the preinstalled applications, Audible, IMDB, NFL, ANT Radio, Flipboard, go90, Kindle, Amazon etc, but by deleting these apps , The step sensor stops working, and stops counting the steps, some suggestions to be able to delete the apps without losing the step counter?

Great... I just updated my firmware to PL1 yesterday.
i have unlocked the bootloader and i'm on PF4, can i flash this rom? which is more updated, the PJ2 or PL1?
Do Not Flash This On Unlocked Bootloaders Or You Will Relock Your Bootloader!!!Once your on MM 6.0.1 you cannot restore a Lollipop Backup using SafeStrap or vice versa. Follow the link at bottom of post for guide and files to downgrade back to Lollipop
Ok the first thing I want to make clear is YOU WILL NOT HAVE ROOT! You will still have the use of Safestrap Recovery even though phone will not be rooted. What this will allow you to do is boot the non rooted rom back into safestrap. While in Safestrap you can do what you have always done, Flash Zips, Make Backups,Etc. This will also make it easy if you want to go back to PB1 rooted rom.
You must be on A rooted rom preferably A PB1 rom running SafeStrap
If Running FlashFire
Make sure latest busybox is installed
Install MM_Safestrap.apk
Reboot to safestrap
Wipe Data,Cache,System
Install VZW_QA1_STOCK_SAFESTRAP_ONLY_V2.zip
Roms will take a long time to boot up be patient!
This will put you on pure stock rom MM QA1 rom but from here you can get to safestrap to flash other roms or mods
To return to Safestrap you will need to flash a kitkat kernel NI2_stock_kernel.tar.md5 using odin then when phone reboots click on enter safestrap recovery. When leaving safestrap you must flashMM_KERNEL_SS-FF_Flashable.zip. Which will be located on your internal storage In a folder called MM_KERNEL_SS-FF_Flashable
If you want to flash other custom roms a guide can be found HERE

Question... I tried your stock PB1 before and it worked well. I however hosed myself flashing the incorrect firmware and USB bulk mode occured when I attempted to go back to PHX11 5.0 ROM. I flashed firmware as when I reloaded the backup of PHX 11 I had no data or wifi.
I saved the phone however and need to know what is the correct procedure to go back to LP backups if I try this and decide not to stay? I want to avoid bulk mode again!
Thank you!!

Would this be the same procedure for OG5 just substitute the PB1 caution firmware with OG5 caution firmware? I assume just match the ROM you go to with the caution zips that don't contain the bootloader.
Pretty sure I didn't use the caution firmware before and that what caused my issues.

OK thank you for clarifying. I use PHX 11 and always need to flash the OG5 kernal from safe strap so I assumed I'd need OG5 firmware for that particular situation.

I'll stop clogging the thread now! Appreciate all the information and work you do!!
Hey, thanks for this great site and all of your guides. It really helps.
I just rooted my s5 g900v and Im still on KITKAT NK2. Would it be possible for me to update from that version to this one following your guide?
Sorry for asking really basic questions. My phone at the moment is sim unlocked and rooted, but CID starts with 11 so I cannot unlock the boatloader, right? Then I assume this ROM is my best option. I want to be really sure that I will still be sim unlocked on the new ROM, its got nothing to do with it, right?
Many many thanks in advanced!

Yes you can update to this rom and also verizon phones are all sim unlocked so it will rermain sim unlocked. Just remember if your still on kitkat when you flash anything with safestrap do not use rom slots flash on the stock rom slot. If you dont know what this means then dont worry about it

Thanks for the hard work, unfortunately my cid 15 just took a nice fat swim and i had to get a replacement and got a cid 11 instead (##$$%@@@!#[email protected]). Your guides have been great to get to this point but got a couple questions:
Any link to what the debloat script removes? I just ran it and it doesn't seem to remove anything (ran it at same time as addblock). Going to reboot and flash it again see if it does. Any way we can remove the stuff we don't want? (all the VZW junk)
According to the Verizon Galaxy S5 Update Page:

The current software update gives you the most up to date Android security patches on your device.

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
The current software update gives you the most up to date Android® security patches on your device.

Who knows why they chose to include the exact same changelog as the prior update with the same security patch. Whatever. Verizon sucks. We all know it.

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?
Tell us how the S8+ goes and if you can unlock the bootloader and root that. Thanks again!

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...
Thanks
This is a ROM that I put together because Verizon Galaxy S5 locked boot-loader phone has very little support, and we cant experience the stock Android Experience.
Any developer could customize this ROM and post their own version.
Whats included in this ROM:
-Google Apps instead of Samsung apps.
-Gravity Box
-Xposed
-Build.prop performance X tweaks
-Pixel Launcher
-Pixel Boot Animation
-Removed Verizon Bloatware
AOSP/Goodlock System UI - Customizable
Bugs:
Fingerprint to unlock- please disable fingerprint lock -++ if u want to use fingerprint install C locker pro and disable lockscreen++
Instructions:
Move to SD card, install - pretty much
to have system UI mods xposed; gravity box is recommended
Unlocked Phones.
Remove boot.img in the Flashable zip. and place any other kernel

Thanks for the work. I'm probably going to give this a shot tomorrow and will let you know what I think.
The title says "Unlock/Locked Bootloader"—is this to say I could flash this on my unlocked bootloader G900V without any trouble? I'd like to test ride this for a friend whose S5 whose bootloader may not be unlockable.
any way to root or install magisk in this rom_??

Depends. If you're using a bootloader locked S5, then no. If you have the unlockable bootloader S5, then yes.
Edit: Apologies, it just occurred to me that this only applies if the ROM doesn't mess with the bootloader status, which it very well might, given @zihar's troubles.

Now that's strange. My first thought would be maybe a corrupted Magisk .zip? Try flashing the Magisk uninstaller, see if it boots normally, then try again with a fresh downloaded .zip.
On the other hand, since the OP hasn't answered my question yet, it could be that the ROM re-locked your bootloader. Flashing Magisk in that case, which messes with the boot.img, would definitely mess with your system. In that case, I would hope flashing the uninstaller would solve the problem. I think you'll have to go through the process of unlocking the bootloader all over again too.

I''ve got the emmc 15. I got magisk 17.1 to 'work'.
This is what I've tried; after flashing the rom extract the boot.img from the aosp-touchwiz zip, install magisk manager and patch the boot.img, reboot to twrp and install, install image and select the patched_boot.img, swipe and pray. Had mine lock up at boot, flashed magisk uninstaller, installed the image again and it worked. Although, magisk states it's in core mode only, I tried to have it do its thing to run normally by unchecking the box but it wound up locking up the rom, so rinse and repeat. So, it's root but not through and through? Because I can't seem to move an app to system/priv-app when I do it fails to find the package, I've tried root explorer, es file manager, link2sd, lucky patcher, and TWRP (mounting system); either locks the rom, kills the app, or somehow removes root entirely.
I just want a rom with magisksu and that won't throw a fit when I move an app to system.

Personally I've only gone through the process of unlocking the bootloader once on my emmc 15, TWRP is also installed as recovery.
My emmc 11 on the other hand is touchy and if you're not careful it'll lock up and you'll have to start over. The emmc 11 (locked bootloader) is touchy in general when dinking around with root/safestrap but the guides here are thorough, a bit more than the emmc 15 threads it seems.
Does installing a ROM like this one, in which bloatware was removed, result in more useable space from the phone's internal storage? Specifically, does it result in more storage for installing apps?
