nice work as usual ... just in case anyone asks i was able to dirty flash from jk's boe1 stk deox without any problems. i just reflashed xposed and rebooted a 2nd time and everything is working great. oh i also used flashfire to flash everything and it worked great (i did wipe cache and dalvik after flashing all 3 files inside flashfire)
it hung up on the verizon animation for several minutes on first boot so be patient..

What order did you flash the files in Flashfire, Splink007? And what version of Flashfire? V19 or the current one?
im using flashfire v.21 and i queued the bog5 rom , the og5 kernel and then the firmware and lastly clear dalvik and cache. took about 10 mins to reboot back to loading applications screen and then once i was back up i used flashfire to reload xposed and when it rebooted everything was working in full and all my settings and wanam were up and running. probably the easiest flash evah. probably because i was running the last version of this.

btw this version shows as not vulnerable to stagefright.. so if your looking to close the loophole on your phone this is worth the upgrade

I'm trying to upgrade from BOE1 Deodexed using FlashFire 21, but it keeps failing when installing System saying that some symlinks could not be created. It then reboots. Any ideas? I was able to install the firmware but not the ROM.

Thanks a bunch. So it looks like this firmware is safe to flash on the developer edition because it doesn't touch the bootloader. Is this correct? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Do not flash any of my firmware packages or firmware zips on Dev edition. They contain bootloaders. The roms zips are fine as they only flash rom and kernels

I use safestrap but I just successfully flashed both odex and deodexed roms using Flashfire, so I would check md5 of zip

Flashed OE1 deodexed (from the muniz thread last night) and noticed folks were having issues flashing the deodexed from this thread over that with flashfire.

I am going to give the deodexed one a shot shortly via Flashfire v21

Update; Flashed Successfully

Order of operation in Flashfire v.21 (after setting screen timeout to 10 minutes in System -.> Display)

* BOG5_Firmware.zip (automount unchecked)
* VZW_BOG5_STOCK_ROM_DEODEXED.zip (automount unchecked)
* Wipe Dalvik Cache and Cache partition options selected (uncheck others)
* Reboot Normal as I am coming from OE1

After phone reboots, verizon logo for 3-4 minutes, then "Android is upgrading Optimizing app xxx of 327 " for 7 -8 minutes., then "starting apps" and finally "finishing boot" to home screen.

Build Reported: OG5
Kernel: 3.4.0 July 31 build.
Root: preserved. If coming from OE1, this was not a complete factory reset. Data and apps are preserved.


I am guessing the problems in the other thread are because this ROM needs the firmware first if coming from a muniz stock ROM.

I did a dirty flash (wipe dalvik + cache) from muniz_ri's OE1 deodexed to the deodexed OG5 here using Flashfire v0.21, flashed the safestrap update, flashed xposed framework, then debloated/debloated the extra junk that came with OG5. Hotspot is working, and everything seems to be fine.

@jrkruse, what exactly is SBrowser, I've been trying to figure it out, but haven't been able to find any information on it after searching. Also, what is SBrowserTry.apk, I assume it's something I can get rid of? Sounds like some trial or instructions bloat.

Edit: is SBrowser just the stock Samsung browser? Cause it's literally the first time I've seen it.

Sbrowser is the stock Internet browser that for some reason isn't available on Verizon roms. You can delete the Sbrowsertry apk I'm not sure what it does but Sbrowser seems to work without it
