On PD1 rooted rom, but still on OC4 bootloader help.

So i have spent the last 4-5 hrs trying to get this phone to work for my brother and i am stuck at the moment. Need some help
Ever since OC4, i never updated the bootloader, only the ROM. phone was in OK3....I followed the thread for unlocking the bootloader, and gained the MODE: Developer.
I tried to follow the thread for muniz and got the files i needed.
Once i got MM up, noticed that WIfi, capacitive buttons wouldnt work. So i reverted back to PB1 downgrade.
i once again followed the steps and got MM back into the phone, but still the same problem as above.
Here is how the phone is currently:
Bootloader screen: " Current binary custom,system status custom, reactivation off, qualcomm secureboot enable (CSB), AP SWREV S1,T2,R1,A1,P1 and MODE: Developer, UDC Start
Recovery : Currently it boots to TWRP 3.0.2-2
Once booted into android, i used Samsung Mobile Info.
Build Number: MMB29M.G900VVRU2DPD1
Kernel version: 3.4.0-8025411
PDA: G900VVRU2DPD1
CSC: G900VVRU2DPD1
Baseband: G900VVRU2DPD1
Bootloader: G900VVRU1BOC4
So, can i just update the bootloader to MM, unlock it, re root, and fix? DO i have to revert once again to PB1?
I need some direction as to how get bootloader to PB1 or PD1...
Thanks

Exact same problem here. I've been struggling with this for about a week now. PD1 bootloader will NOT flash in Safestrap or FlashFire. I even tried TWRP for the heck of it.
Sent from my SM-G900V using XDA-Developers mobile app

I had the same problem that I could not get the buttons to work over several days several and several different methods, each time having to ODIN back to PB1. Two of the times I even had to go find a flash file for firmware because the ODIN did not restore the bootloader back to PB1. When I did finally get it to work I followed the information in the OP for unlocking the BL that I will paste below the main thing being place the ROM on the phone storage not the SD as the files flashed below use the TWRP that doesn't see SD cards
Download these 2 files and place on phone And A Custom Rom
PB1_Flashfire_Prepare.zip https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24572369242686444
PD1_Firmware_With_Dev_Aboot_Twrp_Recovery_Image_Flashfire_Only.tar.zip https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24572369242686471
Reboot to TWRP and flash PB1_Flashfire_Prepare.zip
Reboot
Open Flashfire (It will be installed by the zip you flashed in TWRP) grant supersu permission
Goto Flashfire Settings check box to Flash bootloaders and uncheck box for Emulate framebuffer
Goto Actions
Now add Flash firmware package and choose PD1_Firmware_With_Dev_Aboot_Twrp_Recovery_Image_Flashfire_Only.tar.zip
Now manually check on all the partions to flash. Check them all make sure to scroll down. Now click check mark at top right for ok
Now on the warning dialog that pops up about splitting protected partitions select no
Now in the actions dialog box where it says reboot change that to recovery
So it should look like this
Flash firmware package
Primary Bootloader
Secondary Bootloader
Etc........
EverRoot
EverRoot Disabled
Reboot
Recovery
Click FLASH
When finished phone will reboot to TWRP
Wipe Data, Wipe Cache, Wipe System
Install Custom Rom
For the custom rom I used the one from here labeled G900V_PD1_Stock_Rooted_ROM.zip http://forum.xda-developers.com/ver...w-to-update-to-g900voe1-5-0-keeproot-t3149784 and the ROM took short of a min to boot past the samsung screen then roughly 8-10 mins to boot past the red Verizon screen.
Of course once it reboots and your up and going on the new rom you'll have to flash TWRP I used 3.0.0.0
Hope this helps.

Oh and if you make a Nandroid backup before you try PD1, you can always ODIN flash TWRP and then just restore your previous rom (that's what I kept doing after the first 2 total losses)

Thanks ecen92!! i saw your message a bit late, but i did go back at it with a fresh mindset last night and got it working!!
Here is how i did:
So, after many reading between the lines, something about bootloaders not flashing if the kernel and firmware dont match... anyways, since i was on OC4 i almost went back to a OC4 full tar, but couldnt find it... Glad i didnt.
So i decided to see if i could restore to PB1 fully, and start from there....
I flashed the PREPARE YOUR PHONE FOR ROOT from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-galaxy-s5/general/root-method-og5-ok3-t3290370
But after it finished, now i was in PB1 but still with OC4 bootloader.... something told me to redo it.... so i did.. i RE DID the above flash again!!! and once completed i was on a full PB1 with locked bootloader.
The trick for me was that i HAD TO FLASH THE PB1 FULL TAR 2X IN A ROW!
From there i did the working root method found on the same thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-galaxy-s5/general/root-method-og5-ok3-t3290370
After i gained root, i then unlocked the bootloader based on this steps http://forum.xda-developers.com/ver...t/rd-unlocking-galaxys-s5-bootloader-t3337909
After unlocking the bootloader, then i followed the instructions labeled in light blue called "Upgrade To PD1 Rom With PD1 Unlocked Bootloader From 5.0 TW Rom With PB1 Unlocked Bootloaders" (annoying a** color to see)
After which i was then on PD1 rom rooted, PD1 unlock bootloader and no more problems with wifi, capacitive buttons not responding, etc.
Hope i can help anyone else stuck with this problem.

Good to hear you've got it all working! :good:

I will make a post for those confused that still dont know how to properly update to PF4 rooted using this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/ver...w-to-update-to-g900voe1-5-0-keeproot-t3149784
The initial instructions for rooted arent too clear. I have asked for clarification from the source and others, and my questions have fallen on deaf ears.
I had my brothers phone on PD1 rooted/unlocked, and by flashing the rooted version on the OP followed by stock PF4 bootloader, bricked the software. (The msg that it cant boot) and after D-king around for 4 hrs, i finally got it.
Anyways here is the steps i did ( i dont own steps, just trying to copy paste info to paint a clear picture)
Had to flash the PB1 full tar on ODIN
Then i had to root the PB1 as mentioned here. http://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-galaxy-s5/general/root-method-og5-ok3-t3290370
After root i had to unlock bootloader. http://forum.xda-developers.com/ver...t/rd-unlocking-galaxys-s5-bootloader-t3337909
I used Method 2: Unlocker via Safestrap Samsung_Bootloader_Unlocker.zip in safestrap or flashfire
After this i verified i was on PB1 rooted and unlocked.
From there i went to Flashfire and flashed G900V_PF4_Stock_Rooted_ROM.zip (For "Unlocked" Bootloaders Only!) as posted on the OP
This placed me on PF4 ROM and firmware, but with a PB1 unlocked bootloader. (This is where the back button, recents and wifi dont work)
I then flashed TWRP 3.0.0 via ODIN
From there i followed the "If You Already Have Bootloader Unlocked And On A Samsung TW Rom" found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/ver...t/rd-unlocking-galaxys-s5-bootloader-t3337909
In case instructions changed, like it has on the past, they are:
In TWRP Flash TWRP_Prepare.zip
Reboot to Download Mode
In Odin Under AP slot load PB1_Firmware_Only_NK2_Kernel.tar.md5
Now in Odin Under PIT load S5_KLTE_USA_VZW.pit If you have a 32gb phone instead of 16gb phone skip this step
Click Start
When finished on reboot watch for Safestrap Splash Screen and enter Safestrap
Now goto Power Menu/Reboot Menu and reboot to Download Mode
Make sure in download mode the current binary is Official. If it is not reflash In Odin Under AP slot load PB1_Firmware_Only_NK2_Kernel.tar.md5
Now in Odin Under PIT load S5_KLTE_USA_VZW.pit
Click Start on reboot enter Safestrap reboot back to download mode and make sure binary status is Official
If Binary Status is Official Pull battery restart and enter SafeStrap
Flash: SafeStrap_PF4_Bootloader_Unlock_AIO.zip
Phone will Power Off.
Pull Battery enter download. Flash via ODIN TWRP 3.0.0 as the previous flash will install 3.2 which doesnt see the SD card.
There u go, thats it, this will have you on a rooted/unlocked PF4.

Recovery for N900V 5.0 OF1 Build?

Hello all...I have to first say that I HAVE been reading A LOT before I posted this question but I am somewhat confused. I have an SM-N900V with the following details :
- Rooted with Arabic Tool
- Android 5.0
- Build OF1
- Bootloader unlocked based on instructions at http://forum.xda-developers.com/ver...l/official-note-3-verizon-bootloader-t3359370
I also have a SM-N900T for which I have been using CWM based recovery for many years and I am very happy with it. But I am not forced to change to the N900V and I have it rooted already but I am having a hard time finding the right recovery for it. I tried a philz CWM based recovery and it ended u getting the unit into a recovery bootloop so I have to flash the stock firmware from scratch and start again.
Can someone save me a few hours, and potentially more reflashes, and tell me which is the right recvery for this unit and how to install it? I am partial to CWM but I have read that it does not work. As long as I can take backups and restore them I am happy with TWRP. I have also read that SafeStrap is the only option. So again, I just need a straight answer so I can get this done.
Your feedback will be much appreciated!
thanks!

Did you mean "now forced" instead of "not forced" in the 2nd paragraph? The use later on of antecedent references such as "it" and "this phone" make it slightly confusing which phone you are talking about.

If you have unlocked the SM-N900V's bootloader, then a bootloop can be remedied by flashing with Odin only the partitions you need fixed, not the entire firmware set. This relieves you from having to re-customize a stock ROM and/or re-root. Moreover and more importantly having an unlocked bootloader means that your phone will no longer require blobs to be Sammy-signed: you can flash custom recoveries with Odin if you please. (You just need to learn how to create the *.tar.md5 files for Odin and you are in business - search for "Odin ustar md5")
So had you know that, you could have just prepared Odin flash tarballs for different recoveries and tried them out according to whim (It is also possible to flash a recovery from the rooted ROM as well, but you need to know how to escape from a perpetual failed recovery boot loop, I.e. : battery pull -> restart with VolDown+Home+Power -> Cancel)
I haven't ever put CWM on my SM-N900V, but can tell you that either the " hlte" or "hltevzw" variants of twrp should work just fine; as you are on OF1 firmware, the -4.4 versions should be used, e.g. twrp-3.0.2-0-hlte-4.4.img or twrp-3.0.2-0-hltevzw-4.4.img
PS Safestrap was the method of choice prior to bootloader unlock methods, and I believe does not work with OB6 or OF1 (possibly also NK1?).

As long as you are rooted and have the bootloader unlocked... Use Flashify to load TWRP which is an excellent recovery and does what you wish.

How to flash back and forth between Marshmallow and Lollipop? We need a clear guide.

I'll start off explaining my situation and then explain what myself and lots of other people seem to be confused about.
I was on Kikat last week and then upgraded to PB1 and unlocked my bootloader using method 1 by jkruse. Everything went fine and I was running stang5litre. I wanted to try Phoenix but I could not find instructions on how to get to PD1 first. I then saw that I could go right from PB1 to CM 13. I booted to recovery, wiped, installed CM and gApps, and everything went fine also.
I know my baseband is still PB1 but I'm guessing since I'm on CM now that I'm not actually on any official build right? (PD1, PF4, etc). So with that being said I don't understand how to go to other ROMs or back to LP.
I tried going back to recovery, wiping, and installing stang5litre again but my phone would not boot past the Samsung screen. Guessing something with the kernel? Soni flashed back to CM for now and I've been reading like crazy on here.
I'm trying to understand the process for switching between LP and MM. I found instructions by jkruse in the Phoenix forum (post #68) which talk about upgrading/downgrading bootloader but they are not clear and also they specifically say "Upgrade To PD1 Stock Rooted Rom With PD1 Unlocked Bootloader From 5.0 TW Rom". Well I'm not on a 5.0 TW ROM now.
I've seen countless posts in multiple forums showing a lot of other people are confused about this stuff. If I had all the details (clear instructions, file links, etc) I would glady make a very easy to follow guide and explanation of everything. I'm good at writing out stuff like that and making it very easy to understand.
Some things I want to understand so I can make a guide..
-How to go from PB1 to stock rooted PD1 (I see a guide to get to PF4 but Phoenix says you need PD1)
-How to go from CM to stock rooted PD1
-How to go from CM back to stock rooted PB1
-How to go from PD1/PF4 back to stock rooted PB1 (this process might be the same as the process coming from CM?
Any help/explanation would be greatly appreciated. Some of this info might be scattered across different forums but I think a guide specifically for switching between all the builds would be a huge help to a lot of people. Please link files also. I will definitely give credit to all who help if I do get the info needed to make it!! Thanks!

If you need help finding these things maybe you shouldn't be making a guide....

Please dont bother commenting pointless stuff. I read these forums every day and see lots of people looking for clarification for how to go back and forth between MM and LP. Mainly how to go back to LP. You will also find threads and posts with people giving different instructions. Some say just flash the PD1 rooted stock in recovery.. some say that won't downgrade the bootloader..

Some say to follow Jkruses guide in the second post of the bootloader unlock thread. The part about going back and forth between bootloader's.. which is a way more complicated method. There is different information all over

I highly suggest you read the 2nd portion "If You Already Have Bootloader Unlocked And On A Samsung TW Rom" link.
I think the key you need to understand is that you have to match the bootloader version with the corresponding ROM you are trying to flash. PB1 is for LP ROM. PD1/PF4 is for MM ROM.
Having above said, here's my answer to your question below:
-How to go from PB1 to stock rooted PD1 (I see a guide to get to PF4 but Phoenix says you need PD1)
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Please follow the 2nd portion of the link above.
If you want to try Phoenix, then you can use the SafeStrap_PF4_Bootloader_Unlock_AIO.zip as jrkruse confirmed PF4 does work with it.
Upon complete the 2nd portion, then you can flash Phoenix's v12 ROM in TWRP directly.
-How to go from CM to stock rooted PD1
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
First of all, find out which CM you are at. I assume you are at CM13, then you would need follow the same 2nd portion instruction again (using the PD1 Bootloader), then flash the stock PD1 rom in twrp.
-How to go from CM back to stock rooted PB1
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Same as above, except use PB1 bootloader in the process.
-How to go from PD1/PF4 back to stock rooted PB1 (this process might be the same as the process coming from CM?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
You are right, it is the same process.
I hope I cleared it out for you. If you are not sure where you are at, then I would suggest you odin the original PB1 image, root it, unlock bootloader, flash twrp, then follow the 2nd portion of the link.

Thanks for the reply. I found instructions from Jkruse on page 7 in the Phoenix thread. That's why I am confused because there are so many methods scattered everywhere.
So here's what I tried and something went wrong already.
------------------------
Flashfire Method to Upgrade/Downgrade Your Bootloaders Dev Unlocked To Stock Roms
This Method Only Works If You Have A Dev Unlocked Bootloader Or Have Previously Unlocked Your Bootloader
I just want to add this warning. If you use this method you dont have the safety net that safestrap provides so if something goes wrong in this process you may end up with a unrooted phone and locked bootloaders causing you to have to start The whole rooting process over since you will not have safetrap to boot back into
Upgrade To PD1 Stock Rooted Rom With PD1 Unlocked Bootloader From 5.0 TW Rom With PB1 Unlocked Bootloaders
Download these 2 files and place on phone
PB1_Flashfire_Prepare.zip
PD1_Full_Firmware_With_Dev_Aboot_Twrp_Recovery_Ima ge.tar.zip
Reboot to TWRP and flash PB1_Flashfire_Prepare.zip
Reboot
Open Flashfire (It will be installed by the zip you flashed in TWRP) grant supersu permission
-------------------------
. I rebooted to TWRP. Flashed the PB1_Flashfire_Prepare.zip and rebooted right away. I now had safestrap installed which I did not before. So I go to open it up and my screen goes white for a second and then just returns to the app drawer?? It will not open
So then I delete the file and figured maybe it was a.bad download. Downloaded it again and tried to boot to recovery but it went to stock recovery not TWRP.
So I have no clue what to do now. How can I get TWRP installed again? All I did was flash that one zip so idk what went wrong. I am on PB1 everything.

The SS/FF method was old instruction. People sometimes has hit or miss. I think Jkruse found out the cause (my guess is the binary status). Please go for the latest one, which is at the OP of the link I gave you.
If you still have the unlocked bootloader, you can always odin the twrp image (I recommend v3.0.0.0).
If you happened lost the unlocked bootloader status, then I would recommend you to odin the original PB1 tar, root, unlock bootloader, odin twrp, then follow the 2nd part of the OP.
I hope this helps.

Downgrade from 6.0.1 to lolipop to get root

Hi ,
I got this phone and updated to lolipop , hated how the phone was super slow and bad battery life , tried to root but failed and then upgraded to marshmellow. So I want to know of there is a way that I can root it on marshmallow or downgrade so that I can root it on lolipop
Here is some info
Baseband PD1

You can download the official firmware from sammobile.com
Download odin for pc search Google
Then open odin after you install it
Connect your phone to your pc via USB cable
Boot into download mode by turn off your phone and hold power volume down and home button
Make sure your phone is recognized in odin it well tell you a com number and say connected
Click the pda/ap slot and select the firmware from where you downloaded it to on your pc
Then click start

friend all these steps to take to get the root of our kltevzw is to think twice, now I'm in the last update 2DPF4 but I would like to get the final root and to install the rom you want without all those applications verizon, what is your advice to do so according to your experience?

with safestrap you can only flash touchwiz based roms aka close to stock roms
and you wont have root in mm roms because of your locked bootloader
and try this rom it is the best tw lollipop rom i know of http://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-galaxy-s5/development/vzwstock-based-tw-rom-3-4-16-t3329029

Installing PF4 MM onto my OK3 5.0

This phone has been such a pain in the ass. My s4 was easy and my sprint s5 was cake to work with. This VZW s5 has been a royal headache.
Im living in a homeless shelter so I really dont wanna end up softbricked overnight before I can try to fix it at the library the next day.
Iam currently downloading a Deodexed/Debloted PF4 Rom for my VZW phone, got it on droidviews, PM me for the link it wont let me post it
So it looks like it has you use flashfire to install the rom and then has you Odin the proper Bootloader. Is this going to work for me?
When I was rooting the phone it had me messing with different kernals and stuff so I just wanted some clarification or something if anybody can provide some.
Thanks,
Raedon

I have both the Roms. The one for the unlocked bootloader and the locked one as well. Is there any easy way to see if my bootloader is unlocked?
Im pretty tech savvy but this **** is ridiculous.

Boot to download mode if you see a line that says developer mode you are bootloader unlocked

In download mode it looks like my bootloader is locked. Is installing MM as simple as flashing the rom with flashfire and then flashing the new bootloader in odin?
Sounds like cake for real.

Yes you can install it in flash fire by having the firmware on your device then open flash fire app and click plus symbol in bottom right corner and choose flash firmware and choose the firmware let it check md5
then make sure inject su or root is off
Then click flash
You will lose root if you flash an official mm firmware and there is no way to root mm

Well I softbricked my phone and Im boned until tomorrow. I followed the instructions in the thread
"[How-To] Update to G900V_PF4 - 6.0.1"
It says at the top "**You can begin the following process from any Build/ROM but you must already have Root Access**"
You have to be rooted since it requires FlashFire. I downloaded the locked bootloader version since my bootloader is still locked. Followed all the directions and ended up stuck on the samsung screen. I have 40 minutes to try and fix this until Im stuck all night.
Im just gonna try to put the stock factory PB1 back on with the PB1 bootloader. Id love to get this 6.0.1 on my phone tomorrow tho

Boot to recovery and wipe data and cache
