have rooted s5 on 4.4.4 nk2. Have been trying to install custom roms via safestrap. Apparently i am missing a step. I wipe data, try to install twi5ted Lollipop on custom rom slot....blank screen for over 30 min after reboot, phone gets real hot, take battery out. Try to install on stock rom slot, reboot then get stuck in boot loop and keeps booting into system recovery. I then saw through my hours of searching to format instead of wipe....so i format then try to install, get stuck again, take battery out, get back to safestrap dash now when i try to wipe/format/or even restore my backup it says unable to mount system. When i click reboot system it says no OS installed. After reboot, my custom slot gets erased.
I was about to try an odin flash back to stock but some how was able to get my phone back to a system restore. Why can i not get anything installed? Do i have to have odin to do a custom rom install?????? i know every rom is different but wtf. I have seen multiple videos and threads of people flashing zip via safestrap and rebooting into new rom without flashing kernals via odin or safestrap after rom install.
Also...my phone will not let me download zip files (ex. cm12.1) says unable to create download folder....how close to F'in my phone up am i? I have successfully rooted all phones in the past...s5 is giving me hell!
I just tried installing rom after format, then flash nk2 kernel from odin, still gives boot loop....ive tried everything i have found..never this much problem with custom rom..
When you try to install twisted it needs lollipop firmware which is flashed on odin, and based on your statement it says you're on NK2, a kitkat firmware. Try flashing a stock ncg tar and rerouting, downloading apps, etc. on the phone to see if that works. Also, I noticed you mentioned a cm 12.1 zip not downloading which, while unrelated to your current problem, will cause a bootloop when flashed due to the locked bootloader on the S5, so it isn't a smart idea to even attempt an install.

thanks, i will try fresh from start ncg. so you have to be on the current kernel that you are flashing a rom for, whether its CM, Twi5ted, Alliance...etc i need to be on rooted 5.0 kernel then flash rom via safestrap?
i was having problems downloading from internet on phone, not downloading rom if thats what you thought i meant. I just tried installing zip for CM 12 via safestrap and got same issue. Phone reboots, goes to black screen and eventually heats up like crazy. .... I just noticed, after my restore ...again... it says safestrap disabled in red on the boot screen, why is that? it says installed and tried reinstalling.
FIXED
So i flashed ncg from odin on the messed up phone and got messed up worse. Ended up getting stuck on first boot image of samsung android s5 boot screen. Finally found original stock firmare file and used odin to complete install stock os and got rid of root. Now back to normal... luckily i figured it out my self! thanks to the 100's who viewed and didnt help and thanks to mrjiggywiggy for giving me some input to help out!
Hello..somedays back i tried to flash cm 12 available for my device..but after showing flashing complete successfully my mobile got stuck in odin mode...showing an error can't do normal boot..so i applied the stock rom..but the stock rom was 5.0.1 lollipop... It was an official update..now my phone works fine..except root..whenever i am trying to root it is rooting..but after rooting if i power off or reboot the phn...everything got crashed and force close.
Even my default launcher is also force closing (including each and every app)..
What should i do???plz help
?????
Don't have much knowledge about this but IMO you should factory reset your a5 and than try to flash stock rom again.
Wipe all partitions using twrp and flash stock rom again using odin..don't forget to backup your data
can you tell me how you rooted your device at first...............................................?
I am have a SM-910F on stock 5.1.1 I have tried to flash from TWRP and it keeps restarting and does not flash anything. I'd really like to use a custom rom on this with kernel and I can't do anything.I don't want to have to use Kies again and start again.
Anybody know how to fix this?
Anybody care to help?
As the title says.... I'm trying to get everything back to close to stock
I have tried to install the file "I337MVLUGOC4_I337MOYAGOC4_I337MVLUGOC4_HOME.tar.md5" from sammobile, which is suppose to be the stock 5.0.1 Telus rom.
It installed and sorta worked, but at the welcome screen I am greeted with basically all the g-app services and such crashing repeatedly....
I have also tried installing "AOSP-5.1.1-20160410-jflte" with TWRP and it gives me a bootloop....
Does anyone know what I may be doing wrong??
EDIT: So, a second attempt at installing the stock rom worked. But now I'm running in to the no wifi issue.... Can't enable wifi
Flash any stock qb1 Canadian stock rom and perform a factory reset from stock recovery before letting the newly-flashed ROM boot for the first time.

Your method will not work
method will not work. I fixed it after a lot of trying.
Solution: Flash an old version of TWRP(like 2.8). Kitkat doesn't support the newer versions of TWRP. This is why flashing new TWRP doesn't work. Now install the stock ROM of KitKat cm11 and install Stock recovery. UPDATE cm 11 to cm12 using official updates using stock recovery. Now flash new TWRP and it will work. I don't use this site a lot but if you ever see someone askung this then this method will work.
