You need an unlocked bootloader.

3.) factory reset/wipe data
4.) wipe system
5.) reboot recovery
6.) install ROM
7.) install GApps

AOKP is stable, but sometimes nigthlies break things. However, for the most part AOKP was already pretty good, so the nightlies should be good.

Man!!! READ forum before posting!!
I did not realize you were boot locked.
Before this thread gets moved or deleted: you must tell us that whether you have unlocked your bootloader. If you haven't unlocked it, then you're stuck with SafeStrap and you should give up on ANY AND ALL custom ROMs beyond Android 4.2. Otherwise, if you have an unlocked BL, just fastboot flash a custom recovery and flash any ROM from there.
And stop posting the same question everywhere!

Sounds like you tried to flash some ROMs that aren't compatible with SS.

You're telling me I can run 4.2 roms in safestrap with a 4.1.2 base?
The only 4.2 ROM that worked was a CM10 port. It's running around in this forum somewhere.
You mean CM10.1(4.2)? or CM10 (4.1.2)

No, I mean everything Android 4.2+ will not run, including 4.2, 4.2.1, 4.2.2 and so on. I should've been clearer when describing. Just try that CM10 (Android 4.1.x).

There was a 10.1 in development for SS, but the BL unlock came out and they shifted focus away from SS.

Hi,
Yesterday I went to flash CyanogenMod 11 on my Galaxy s4 (GT19505) and it wouldn't work. The first time, it started then went to a black screen. I turned my phone back on to find it wouldn't boot up at all (I waited over 10 minutes for it). I can access recovery mode, and when I did it again, it said md5 couldn't be found.
I used Odin to flash the most recent CT auto root and then moved over TWRP (with Odin) and I had no trouble with these.
I accidentally moved TWRP 2.5 over instead of 2.7. I was running 4.4 KitKat on my phone. Could it be 2.7 isn't compatible with CM 11?
Help!?
It should just work.
Flash the latest TWRP or Philz.
Perform a full wipe.
Flash Cyanogenmod.
What version are you trying to flash from Cyanogenmod? Use the nightlys and if one doesn't work try the version before that one.
ps you can skip the step nexttime about flashing cf-auto root. You don't have to do this. You can just flash the recovery you want.

I'm using a stable version. I haven't downloaded any latest ones. How would i do that if I can't access the phone? Boot it to download then go from there?
are you sure you (even) flashed a (compatible) kernel?

Is there any difference between 19500 and 19505? I'll try a new CM download...knowing my uncertainty I probably got an incompatible rom.
How stable are the nightlies?

You should only flash a rom for YOUR model phone, and for me the nightlies were stable enough to use.

So I redid TWRP, now what about CM 11? TWRP uses the jfltexx in its name...do I just use Odin to move CM?
So, I installed TWRP 2.7 and it worked. All is good, currently enjoying CM!!!
Now the battery is saying it's at 0%...how do I fix that?
Now my password isn't working for some reason. I did a restore with TWRP and now I can get into my phone. Fix?

I'm rooted and unlocked running custom ROM TW 4.4.4 with Koontz kernel using TWRP and for the life of me I can't get CM11 installed.

i would be sure to follow the instructions.. is there a aosp kernel you should use or do you use the stock tw kernel?
I'm using Koontz TW Kernel currently. But the CM zip file should contain the new CM Kernel. ?
I am getting this message when it fails, 'this package is for device KLTEVZW, this device is KLTE'. So I guess I'm flashing the wrong zip. But my phone is an Verizon S5 developer model.....confused?

which cm11 rom are you flashing? from verizon s5 original development section?
Yes, from Ablinoman887 and official cm 11, KLTEVZW. I did flash the KLTE version and it didn't fail but it bootlooped. However I did flash fusion 4.4.4 for KLTEVZW and its working great.
Try using the Version of TWRP from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2794674
Bkuschel u rock. It work. Thanks man
A1Barrett- How did you flash this? ODIN v3.09 doesnt seem to like it, it just errors out after awhile.
Neodawg- I flashed using the TWRP that bkuschel recommended 2 posts up.

Right, but how did you flash it? With ODIN? or use TWRP to flash it? The link only provides a .img file and if I tar it ODIN wont flash it, not sure if I am doing something wrong with tarring it or if the img isnt setup to be flashed by ODIN.
Thanks, for your help
Flash the new twrp using the old twrp. Use the zip. Twrp-kt.all-in-one.zip

Hmm, suppose so, never really thought about it, I came from a Motorola phone last time and not a Dev device either, so this whole ODIN, unlocked thing is new to me. Either way *facepalm*....hahaha
So it looks like this is only working for the dev version of the verizon GS5? Or at least that's what this page says (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2794674)
Guess i'm SOL?
With the recent files being dumped for note 5. Would it be possible to have it ported over to the s5 with some changes, without having to wait til the official release?
I do not think it's possible,as we do not have sources for 6.0 kernel on klte :| But still,hope someone can do some kind of workaround.
just to try the new marshmallow test cm 13 really to home

It might be possible, as there are few unofficial CM13 (Android 6.0) builds already available for our Galaxy S5. Let's just wait and hope someone out there with kind heart and adequate time develop one for our phone.

I have the g900t (T-Mobile) using TWRP. Open gapps 6.0 (where you can choose your own). And I download off the XDA pages with my phone.
I should also note that only touchwiz Roms seem to work. Any cm ROM always gets stuck at bootloop, I can sometimes getting it to optimizing apps by switching kernel, but then it reboots over and over without starting.

Make sure you've performed a full wipe before flashing it and if you're planning on using Google apps then make sure to flash them before booting into CM13 or else you'll get stuck with lots of FCs.

Is your bootloader unlocked? Because as far as I know, there are variants of the Galaxy S5 which have their bootloaders unlocked, making them impossible to downgrade or else making their device bootloop.
As for the steps, you only have to download the KitKat firmware (I recommend ANE2 - easiest to root) from sammobile.com then flash it via Odin.
Make sure you have Samsung Mobile Drivers installed if you are working on a Windows environment. Afterwards, root your Galaxy S5 by downloading towelroot from towelroot.com.
Once done, download SuperSU on Play Store. Flash custom recovery using Rashr. Make sure Reactivation Lock is disabled before flashing anything custom or else it will cause problems.
When you have custom recovery successfully installed, try flashing CyanogenMod again.

Report back if everything goes fine. TouchWiz Lollipop caused me a lot of problems in modding mainly because it's harder to mod it unlike KitKat which is pretty straight forward.
By reverting to KitKat, I was able to use XtreStoLite which stopped working on me for some time. Now I'm on Android Marshmallow 6.0.1 (CyanogenMod 13 unofficial by @albinoman887) and I'm satisfied than ever.
