Cm 13 android 6.0 for verizon galaxy s5

[kxhan15]

Hey everyone,
I am currently running a straight talk variant galaxy s5, which is exactly the same as the verizon variant s5, just without the locked bootloadet. I know this for a couple of reasons.
1. I was able to root and flash twrp via Odin without safestrap.
2. I can boot into recovery without safestrap.
3. I can flash roms and make back ups in twrp without safestrap.
4. I can flash any verizon variant s5 rom, and they work flawlessly.

I have read, on galaxys5root.Com that cm 13 will work on all the s5 variants, except for Verizon and at&the due to there locked bootloaders. My question is this, if the locked bootloader was the only issue preventing cm 13 from working on a verizon variant s5, how hard would it be to port it without a locked bootloader? Or is there already a version of cm13 out for Verizon s5 variant?

In fact before I flashed a rom my phones model number said sm-s902L now it says sm-g900v. Not only that but YouTube before I flashed a rom would only let me play upto 720p, now it let's me play upto 1080p. And it's not a type o, it is actually playing in 1080p. It also recognizes and let's me over clock the full quad core processor. And I can verify that I bought this straight talk s5 from Walmart directly, and unboxed it out of a a walmart /straight talk box. What I think is that this really IS a verizon s5 sm-g900v, just with straight talk software on it, which gives it the unlocked bootloader.

Really? This is interesting. Paging @jrkruse

I just discovered that even 4k video recording is enabled, and none of the features I have mentioned are supposed to be enabled on the straight talk s5. Really the straight talk s5, is a verizon s5 with an unlocked bootloader @jjdavis699 @jrkruse

Most of the verizon variants dont have locked bootloaders, LRA Bluegrass wireless Straight Talk there are a few others

So how hard would it be to bring cm13 to my straight talk s5? Could I just use the verizon developer variant of cyanogen mod? Or a KLTE variant?@jrkruse

Use a verzion version for sure or you will not have data

Do you know where i may be able to find the version for the verizon galaxy s5 developer model? i have read around on the forums that there is one out there.

How do I know if my bootloader is locked or not?

Go to the Galaxy S5 unified development section or the cyanogenmod web site and look for the version marked KLTE

On your phone go to settings => about phone and look at the build and baseband numbers. If they read SMG900VV you have a locked bootloader. If there is a KLTE in the build and baseband number your bootloader is not locked. If you bought your phone at a Verizon store or a retail outlet such as best buy, you most likely have a locked bootloader.

They say that the "klte" version is a generic gsm build. I don't know if that will work. I know I would have to add the vzw apn's, but i am also concerned about the radio files and modem that are in that build

No luck, have G900vv. Oh well

Oops, I forgot about all the klte variants. I guess you would be looking for a build for the kltevzw. The CM thread says if your device is not listed to use the generic klte build, but I don't think I would chance that.

I am getting set to do the same - and it looks like there is a version for Verizon Gs5.

Scratch that - looks like there are no Verizon builds beyond KitKat so far. Getting the latest OptimalROM 15-5 instead.

Let me know what you think of optimal rom.

Does data work and everything else? I may just buy this instead of the VZW version

@jrkruse what do you think the chances are of it working if i flash a straight talk bootloader to my Verizon phone? Do you think it might work as a bootloader unlock? I'm willing to try because I have unbrick.img which makes my phone unbrickable.

It may work. In theory because the base models are the same and can run the same ROMs. But my fear would be that if you bork your bootloader your device would be hard bricked. You need the bootloader to even start the boot processes.
