If your booted back to twrp try to flash lineage now or boot to stock samsung android 6 rom that you flashed during the process

Goes through Sam Boot twice. Attempts lineage once, then boots back to recovery.

I have this device...x3 one is on lineage 16.0, one is on lineage 14.1 and one is on stock marshmallow
With magisk.

Problem is probably with TWRP. Which version do you have?

Edit: I probably won't be back on this thread for a while, so I'll lay out my suspicion. I think you are still using twrp that comes from the OP. Update to the latest version of twrp then to the super clean install method recommended by @curiousrom. Also update your baseband with the package from lineage developer haggertk found here

I'm not sure why @jrkruse is being so unhelpful they have been instrumental in supporting this device over the years and should have been able to help you. In the future feel free to tag or message me, @curiousrom is also a great resource for this device.

Are you really calling me unhelpful. Dude everything I have posted here has been tried and tested by thousands of people but I have long since moved on. Lineage wasn’t even a thing when I left this device so excuse me if im not very helpful on lineage and excuse me if I don’t check these threads daily

No need to get hot, it wasn't an attack. I was just surprised you weren't able to help. This is a very common problem, and updating twrp is the most obvious and common solution. I'm thankful for all the work that you have put into this device, and even stated so in my post. Take a deep breath and try to see the good instead of the bad.

Edit: I guess I should have said

So yeah I got it sorted anyway. Ended up using the QL1 unlocker zip to sort the issue. The TWRP version that was packaged with that didn't give lineage any issues. Happy to report that I'm all good. And after the add-on su I'm all rooted, too. Thanks man. I know it's probably a huge pain in the ass having someone ask you to guide them through this after writing all of that documenatin but I appreciate it.

emmc 11 method on a verizon g900v

Has anyone worked the emmc 11 method on a verizon g900v?

 

[hoffman1984]

I have everything you need to put you on what ever firmware you choose with unlocked bootloader if android 6 is what you want then flash that stuff


Sent from some device I modified

So, question. Do you have everything i need to put me on lineage 17.1 (Which i'm running), rooted? lol This has been a problem. Magisk edits the boot, so kind of asses it out. Wondering if anyone else has figured through this issue. I'm looking for ways to include piecing together a kind of universal root from an arm64 addonsu someone compiled on the web. Anyhow, cheers for all the tips going forward. Think i'm starting to get the hang of it all again. Just wondering if you have anymore tricks up your sleeve. Thanks again. =)

Any way to get root beyond Android v. 5.0 for Galaxy S5 Verizon?

Samsung Galaxy S5 Verizon with CID 11. My phone is root with Lollipop but some applications I want to run need Android 7.0. Is there any way to get beyond Android 5.0? Thanks for any help!!

I rooted my Samsung Galaxy S5 Verizon CID 11 with JRKruse's instructions. It gives you Android 5.0 which is dated but stable. I'm trying to find out if there is a way to get beyond v. 5.0 to v. 7.0. Do you need help?

S5 G900V, Magisk & Root

...lineage 17.1 (Which i'm running), rooted? lol This has been a problem. Magisk edits the boot, so kind of asses it out...

Magisk modifies boot.img which is the kernel.

Magisk does not touch the S5's bootloader which is aboot.

So you can install Magisk safely on your S5 G900V without re-locking the bootloader.

@AptLogic , really really good guide. appreciate all the work.

 

[i'mtryingokay]

Hey everyone, I'm completely new at this so forgive me if I'm missing a simple solution

I followed the CID 15 instructions and once flashed the first file via odin my wifi stopped working completely. I've tried it several times and randomly only one time did the wifi work but I failed to install the version of android I wanted (I apparently need androidn 10 because this is to allow an old phone without data to be used for receiving work emails via wifi after I let my employer have full access to the phone, which is why I wont use my personal phone).

The error I get when trying to connect is "wifi authentication error" no matter what network it is and I've tried a factory reset several times.

Any idea what I need to do to fix the wifi? I'm assuming I need an updated firmware or something but I dont know how to find out what version I need

 

[aslamgee]

Successfully rooted but few things i want to know

rooted from cid 15 instructions
1ST : this appear after rooting my s5 kernel is not seandroid enforcing & set warranty bit: kernel. every time moblie restarts. what is this? did i do something wrong?

2nd : after rooting can i install other customs os. if yes can u tell me some best roms names.

3rd : can i unroot my mobbile?

your effort is appreciable. thx buddy.

See, I still have my S5. I haven't tried Safe strapping 6.0.1

But if we can flash zips via SS to a stock MM build, hold my beer, I still thinks that Marshmallow is rootable on CID 11. Which is what I got.

Wasn't that the major milestone on the Note8 and 9.0?

But we have to think. The CID 11 G900V is able to be dirty cow patched on 6.0.1 && Has a leaked flash programmer &&&& we thus have an EDL CLEAN Safestrap potentially.

Given the Trinity. Root is within sight. I just need a new computer. I got hard drives w/ WSLv2, Ubu20.04, and x86 9.0.

If I can get a setup I might just be able to spruce up that GHR console for stock Marshmallow without trying to RE a rawprogram XML.

I'm still looking to try.

@Delgoth , good for you. make history and alot of people happier. best of luck !!!

I actually have a way you can boot safestrap on marshmallow on s5 without using a computer. Even if dirty cow root worked it’s only temporary so safestrap is much better option

It would only be temporary, but it could be scripted to start on each boot maybe. But could dirtycow also be a way of patching in a version of Elliwigy's persist root method?

As far as I remember though, there actually was a caveat to the exploit that was: if you could manage to get your patched binary to EXACTLY Equal the original filesize (i.e. Character for Character) the 6.0.1 kernel could be fooled into not panicking and not trigger the restoration of the stock filesystem. Hard to do sometimes though with closed source custom OEM builds like Samsung. But could be possible still.

That's why I was considering the dirtycow root shell idea, because then we could use the cache partition and serve as a means to just run arbitrary root commands when the need suited. It would also lend itself to being an independent library included into a new APK that would serve as a root broker.

Because what I really want on my S5 is a root authorized Termux environment.

[dimm0k]

if phone is CID=11 running 6.0, is it possible to root even if it's only temporary while staying on stock 6.0? I just want to freeze/uninstall all the garbage on this phone...
