What are you currently running and why?
I performed my first root a week ago and downgrading to kit Kat was awesome. I've tried Moar and optimal Roms for lollipop now and my battery still gets wrecked.
I do use my phone a lot, streaming audio and Web / forum use. However, even after debloating and greenifying all apps aside from streams, I still can't make it all on day on 100% battery.
Would swapping to a Kit Kat rom help? What do you suggest?
Examples of use: pandora, podcasts, netflix, HBO go, plex, tapatalk, etc. I keep 50% brightness all the time.
Any tips welcome!

------------------
edit: last night, I reflashed optimal based off oc4 lollipop 5.0, skipped wizard and ran the adb debloater. aside from that. calibrated my battery, running greenish on all apps except video and audio streams. I run minimal WiFi data Bluetooth and no location services with 50% brightness.
my battery life is still just OK.
Have u tried any custom kernel in lollipop

I am using custom rom aicp which is based on lollipop 5.1 and zapdos kernel and battery backup is better than kitkat. I do use YouTube very much so in my opinion its better in battery as well as performance.
And pls quote the comment so that i can get notified by xda.

u can try cm12.1 for galaxy s5 its stable now and cm12.1 supports twrp recovery for updates i guess (correct me if i m wrong) so u need to flash twrp recovery them cm12.1 which is based on lollipop 5.1.1 and see if battery life improves if not search xda for custom kernel that offers better battery life.

You cannot flash CM12 on this phone, and I don't think you can flash custom kernels. This is because the Verizon Galaxy S5 has a locked bootloader. As you have already found, you can flash SOME custom Touchwiz ROMs but not many. As far as Kit Kat versus Lollipop, that is really a personal preference in terms of what features you are looking for in a ROM and OS version.

The link you gave is for the KLTEVZW which is the developer edition not the retail version like the OP has. Completely different phones in that the dev edition has an unlocked bootloader and the retail version does not. Dev edition can run CM, retail version cannot. Just a helpful fyi for you and the OP.

I just ordered a G2 and I was wondering, if it comes with an android version higher than 4.2.2, maybe kitkat 4.4.2, can I still root, install recoveries and roms on it???
This is very important to me, if I can't do that it would be just a freaking huge loss.
Thanks in advance.
Depends on what model number where you purchased it from and and also what country there's a good chance it will have 4.4.2 but no way to know until you get it

I will probably post a follow-up in this thread again when that happens
Can't wait to be another lucky user of this phone!!
So I've been getting kind of angry that T-Mobile hasn't updated the phone to KitKat and I tried something on my own. Flashing the MetroPCS KitKat software version on my device via Odin. Guess what? It worked. The only thing was that after it updated all the apps, it installed some MetroPCS bloatware. I don't mind that but this is awesome that I was actually able to install the SGH-T399N software on the SGH-T399. Try it for yourself and let me know how it went for you.

Yeah I'm pretty sure that would brick my phone since that's for the SGH-T399N. I have the SGH-T399. Oh and BTW I know they are both pretty much the same, but if I were to flash that, it would probably screw up.

I bet you can port KK to this if you have a stock rom and metro's stock rom with Kitchen.
I have a stock rom zip here:https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24052804347774930
there's a metro KK stock rom zip you can google it.
I think there's a storage mount file you need for kitchen, I wrote one if you need it just ask (i have it in my linux partition, which I'm not on now).
Oh and always have a backup.

If you don't see enough development for this phone now and don't want to wait, then don't buy it. Don't flash something not made for your phone unless you have a backup.
Other than that the phone has a well balanced spec sheet for the price.

Eta's are the biggest no-no on this site. These developers do this stuff out of the kindness of their hearts, aside from jobs and families. Asking for a time frame for any sort of development is a huge slap in the face of the devs. With that being said, all you can do is what you said already, go back to kit kat and flash a rooted lollipop rom, and be patient with the devs, as this is not their job.

Not sure what you meant by that, but you clearly asked for an eta of a root method. The only way you can have rooted lollipop is to downgrade and flash like you mentioned, and wait patiently for something to come up.

No, no one knows the time.
But it's definitely not before G4 is released. If there is a root exploit for LL, it lies in LG's services, and it would most likely apply to all LG phones running 5.0. Releasing something like that before the release of G4 and other 5.0 phones is a bad idea.

Gasp! iPhone! Get him!
Root Is Possible!
Hi Friends,
I am a fairly new owner of a D858HK (dual-SIM) variant of the LG G3. An update to Lollipop came in so I got interested.
Focusing instead on getting root and "bump'd" TWRP (custom recovery), I figured it out through the help of @autoprime and his thread.
I know there are a lot of developers who are able to "tear down" the official Lollipop firmware, pre-root it, and repackage/distribute it, however, the D858HK variant is not as widespread as the D855 so I had very little hopes for custom ROMs. So I documented everything that I have learned through reading the relevant threads, tested it on my LG G3 variant (with 100% success rate), and put up a thread to share it. You can check it here: click me!
I'm interested to know if this will work with other LG G3 variants. If it does, please let me know.
In the meantime, this finding got me interested in learning more. I'll probably start with the easy ones like pre-rooting and repackaging the stock firmware. Who knows, I might eventually progress to where I can modify/create a ROM (that's ambitious, but not impossible).

Nice guide!
This will work with any phone.
You can easily create a flashable zip and share it for you fellow d856/857/858HK users.
Just take META-INF (updater-script) from robalm's zip, bump boot.img, substitute d855 images with 858 ones, and voila! You have a repacked 858 stock rom.

Well ETA stands for Estimated time of arrival not exact time of arrival so what you are asking for is an eta!! we would all love to get some info on the root for lollipop but keep it cool man. you dont have any developer here on your payroll so if they say don't bother them about ETAs then you better get a glass of tequila and chill out. and hope and pray for ETA. or better still swap your g3 for a nexus.

I can't bring myself to pay $500+ anymore for a phone so I'm going to "upgrade" my galaxy nexus finally. I was going to purchase an S6, however it was brought to my attention that it can't be rooted!! Therefore I'm going to get the s5. What ROM's are currently still updated? Also, which do you recommend? Even if nothing is updated anymore I'd still buy this phone but would like to run a custom ROM.
Depends: Please give us the first 2 numbers of your CID. You can get them via "eMMC Brickbug Check" on the play store.
DO NOT post the whole CID, just the first 2 numbers. It should either be 11 or 15.
If you have a Samsung eMMC cm13 is a nightly aka beta rom that is pretty mature also try resurrection remix for kltevzw
If you have a Toshiba eMMC I like jrkruses PB1 deodexed rooted deknoxed debloated rom this is a rock steady rom this rom also has optional tweaks in a prop file you can edit before you flash.
Thanks. It arrives by Friday and I'll post here when I get it.

To root go to jrkruse ok3 root thread on s5 Verizon forum on xda it is a sticky or search xda for ok3 root thread.
Then go to getex kk-mm bootloader unlock thread for s5 Verizon on xda under s5 Verizon forum

I've been part of the g900v community since basically day one. I may not have posted much, but I have tried pretty much every rom posted here, as well as posting 2 or 3 of my own roms
Saturday night, my s5 lost data connection no matter what i did. Tried a factory reset, no data. Unlocked and rooted bootloader, still no data... no matter what i did, no data.
So, unless someone here has a fix idea, I'm looking for recommendations of a new device that can be rooted, bootloader unlocked and modified a lot of the same way (rom wise) as the s5. I did get the moto z droid running 7.0, but mine can't be bootloader unlocked or rooted, but i have 14 days to return it if i don't like it to swap it.
Any recommendations?
Restart from square one. Im in the same spot. I was able to restore an old backup of a stock pbp1 and service worked. But that isnt the soloution. I was running Mokee 7.1 and thats when it crashed. I've restarted from locking my bootloader again and going back from the beginning. I started here https://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-galaxy-s5/general/root-method-og5-ok3-t3290370
I had some hiccups gaining root, google helped a bit and roaming the forums.
Removing kingroot was hard, Step 2 worked here: https://www.droidmen.com/remove-kingroot-kinguser-with-supersu ......Supersume didnt..
Now im moving onto unlocking the BL again

Restart from square one. Im in the same spot. I was able to restore an old backup of a stock pbp1 and service worked. But that isnt the soloution. I was running Mokee 7.1 and thats when it crashed.

I went all the way back (because i can on my phone since its how i got it regardless) to rooting with TowelRoot and it still didn't work. Nothing worked at all.
Of all the roms i tried no cell service works. Mokee and Phoenix MM and Nougat dont work. I' guess i'll stick with a stock debloated as last resort.
Anyone have a working MM or Nougat rom working with Verizon service?

I was using cm14.1 on the unlocked CID 15 bootloader ... If you can do that, try that. It worked for me
I think my issue was something with one of the Roms I tried. I tried an old MIUI 4.4 that was compiled for the g900v but that might have been a dumb idea
