I've been part of the g900v community since basically day one. I may not have posted much, but I have tried pretty much every rom posted here, as well as posting 2 or 3 of my own roms

Saturday night, my s5 lost data connection no matter what i did. Tried a factory reset, no data. Unlocked and rooted bootloader, still no data... no matter what i did, no data.

So, unless someone here has a fix idea, I'm looking for recommendations of a new device that can be rooted, bootloader unlocked and modified a lot of the same way (rom wise) as the s5. I did get the moto z droid running 7.0, but mine can't be bootloader unlocked or rooted, but i have 14 days to return it if i don't like it to swap it.

Any recommendations?

Restart from square one. Im in the same spot. I was able to restore an old backup of a stock pbp1 and service worked. But that isnt the soloution. I was running Mokee 7.1 and thats when it crashed. I've restarted from locking my bootloader again and going back from the beginning. I started here https://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-galaxy-s5/general/root-method-og5-ok3-t3290370

I had some hiccups gaining root, google helped a bit and roaming the forums.

Removing kingroot was hard, Step 2 worked here: https://www.droidmen.com/remove-kingroot-kinguser-with-supersu ......Supersume didnt..

Now im moving onto unlocking the BL again

I went all the way back (because i can on my phone since its how i got it regardless) to rooting with TowelRoot and it still didn't work. Nothing worked at all.

Of all the roms i tried no cell service works. Mokee and Phoenix MM and Nougat dont work. I' guess i'll stick with a stock debloated as last resort.

Anyone have a working MM or Nougat rom working with Verizon service?

I was using cm14.1 on the unlocked CID 15 bootloader ... If you can do that, try that. It worked for me

I think my issue was something with one of the Roms I tried. I tried an old MIUI 4.4 that was compiled for the g900v but that might have been a dumb idea
