ok i got a sm-g900v
bootload screen says
product name:sm-g900v
current - samsung official
system status :custom
reactivate off
qualcomm enable(csb)
ap swrev: s1, T2,A1,A2,P1
ok my problem is i had the dev bootloader unlocked until i updated it to pb1 from the root page,worked first time fine,then i tried to upgrade it to the phoenix rom 12. after that had problems locked bootloader,then no matter what i try it won't load root,access screen still shows allow or deny,but it will not put the supersu app in it.says it it rooted in kingroot but it's not.seeing if anyway to force a new rom to redo system files or something used one from root page,but it will not work.tried the root steps many times still same with no root.and safestrap or flashfire won't work. :confused:

Flash your firmware back to whatever it was. I believe Phoenix 12 will work with lollipop basebands and firmware. As for my S5 I never went past OG5 and I was running cm14. I did update the basebands though, no risk of losing root ;)

To regain developer mode use the bootloader unlock method by getex under the s5 verizon section of xda

sent from my nexus 4 I also own a voyager tablet and an I-phone 4s
