Ok, let's try this again.
I started with a stock VZW S5 again, rooted using towelroot, and running KitKat 4.4.2.
I then followed the directions as posted in post 1, using Safe Strap, and after I flashed the OD5 bootloader, the phone rebooted, and I saw a screen saying "Safestrap Disabled".
Then it booted up, showed up in my windows explorer as "CD drive D", then rebooted into "Recovery mode", and shows me the dead android, and Android system recovery.
I wiped cache partition, got the same "Safestrap disabled" screen, got into Safestrap, factory reset the device, and rebooted again.
Same "Safestrap disabled" screen, shows up again in my Windows explorer as "CD drive D", blank screen for a full minute, then it reboots itself into "recovery booting", and "Android system recovery.
What am I doing wrong?

Thanks to BigBot96 for all you have done!
Thanks to all the others here who help out!

I have used OP since I got my S5 (waited a painful 5 days to be sure all was working stock before rooting and getting onto OR)

I am currently on OptimalROM R12-6
Android 4.4.4
Kernel V3.4.0

I need to update to Android 5.0 or later to run some newer apps.

I would love to keep using OptimalROM, but considering my lack of experience, and some of the recent posts here with no resolution, I may be better off with a currently supported ROM.

Can anyone suggest a similar, but currently supported ROM that might work for me?

Thank you
CruelSun

hello everyone.

I get a failure in the step below:

Flash G900V_OD5_Bootloader.tar.md5 via ODIN in AP slot and reboot system

Prior to that step I get a splash screen saying "Safestrap: Disabled"

Did I miss something? Or anything I did wrong?

Need help on this one please... thanks...

    RETAIL

    IF HD CALLING IS NOT WORKING
    HD Calling is working on my phone. It may not work on yours. Don't ask why, I don't know. Things to try:
    1. Clean flash OG5 ODEX rom and ensure HD calling is activated and working. Then dirty flash OR15-1 DEODEX latest build.
    2. You may have to reflash to NCG stock system. Activate HD Calling, reroot and upgrade directly to OG5.

    I'm going home today and my health has greatly improved. I had a bacterial/yeast overgrowth in my small intestines which was causing a ruckus and caused me to lose 50lbs in 3 months. Got my prayers answered and my health is about 90% improved and my weight stabilized, Praise God! Give me a few days to adjust back to home life and get back in the swing of things, then I'll get back to work on OR13 :victory:

    Thank you all who have kept me in your thoughts and prayers. Prayer is powerful.
