Installing PF4 MM onto my OK3 5.0

[raedon614]

This phone has been such a pain in the ass. My s4 was easy and my sprint s5 was cake to work with. This VZW s5 has been a royal headache.

Im living in a homeless shelter so I really dont wanna end up softbricked overnight before I can try to fix it at the library the next day.

Iam currently downloading a Deodexed/Debloted PF4 Rom for my VZW phone, got it on droidviews, PM me for the link it wont let me post it


So it looks like it has you use flashfire to install the rom and then has you Odin the proper Bootloader. Is this going to work for me?

When I was rooting the phone it had me messing with different kernals and stuff so I just wanted some clarification or something if anybody can provide some.

Thanks,
Raedon

I have both the Roms. The one for the unlocked bootloader and the locked one as well. Is there any easy way to see if my bootloader is unlocked?

Im pretty tech savvy but this **** is ridiculous.

Boot to download mode if you see a line that says developer mode you are bootloader unlocked

In download mode it looks like my bootloader is locked. Is installing MM as simple as flashing the rom with flashfire and then flashing the new bootloader in odin?

Sounds like cake for real.

Yes you can install it in flash fire by having the firmware on your device then open flash fire app and click plus symbol in bottom right corner and choose flash firmware and choose the firmware let it check md5
then make sure inject su or root is off
Then click flash
You will lose root if you flash an official mm firmware and there is no way to root mm

Well I softbricked my phone and Im boned until tomorrow. I followed the instructions in the thread

"[How-To] Update to G900V_PF4 - 6.0.1"

It says at the top "**You can begin the following process from any Build/ROM but you must already have Root Access**"
You have to be rooted since it requires FlashFire. I downloaded the locked bootloader version since my bootloader is still locked. Followed all the directions and ended up stuck on the samsung screen. I have 40 minutes to try and fix this until Im stuck all night.

Im just gonna try to put the stock factory PB1 back on with the PB1 bootloader. Id love to get this 6.0.1 on my phone tomorrow tho
