[Q] Booting 5.0 Alliance Rom

[p2kmafia]

I tried to root my brother's S5 which was on 5.0 to begin with. Here is what I did:
Odined back to full stock 4.4.2 (NCIG or whatever), booted no problem. Then I rooted, busyboxed, installed safestrap, all worked. Booted into recovery, set up a rom slot, and flashed Alliance 5.0. Then I booted straight into download mode and flashed the OA8 Kernel and firmware via odin and booted the phone back up. It only got to the first boot screen and did the noise thing but didn't continue to the red verizon logo or anything further.

Did I miss a vital step or was I just too impatient waiting for it to boot (waited ~5min)? I figured 5 minutes would be long enough to pass the first boot screen. I put him back onto 4.4.2 rooted for the meantime but need help getting him back to 5.0.

Thanks!

Two problems I can think of. If you installed the rom to any slot other than stock I believe it won't boot properly. Also, Alliance is a deodexed rom which takes 15+ minutes on first boot, so you didn't wait anywhere near long enough.

**You can begin the following process from any Build/ROM but you must already have Root Access**

**Required** FlashFire - Play BETA - PREVIEW
1. Join the G+ community using the same Google account as you're using for Play on your phone/tablet Here.
2. Sign up to receive the BETA versions from Play Here.
- Use the link provided after sign-up to download the app.

**Caution!** The following process is only for the G900V Verizon S5 variant. Use on any other device may result in a hardbrick!

***FlashFire v19 Recommended***

Download:
- G900V_OD5_Stock_Rooted_ROM

- G900V_OD5_Stock_Deodexed_ROM

Set your screen timeout to 10mins before beginning!

1. Place the ROM onto your device (use either internal or ext-sdcard).
2. Open the FlashFire app and "Agree" to the Terms and Conditions.
3. Press "(+)" twice to bring up the "Actions" menu.
4. Select "Flash Zip or OTA" and locate and select the ROM. Leave "Auto-mount" unchecked under the "Options" menu and press the checkmark to continue.
5. From the main menu Uncheck all options under "EverRoot" and use default "Reboot" setting.
6. Last, press the lightning bolt then "Ok" to begin the flash .

The screen will turn black then display the contents of your system before beginning the flash. FlashFire will pause for about 1 minute while flashing the "system" partition. Once complete your device will reboot and pause on the Verizon splash screen for 1 - 2 minutes (15 - 20mins for DeOdexed version) before completely rebooting. Done!

Tip: for blazing fast speed turn off animations from Developer Options and reboot!

Known Issues:
- None!
- When reporting an issue please always include your starting firmware, FF version, ROM version flashed, and relevant details. Should the flash fail please review FF's last log for errors and include info in your post.

Optional (Flash using FlashFire's "Flash zip or ota" option):
- G900V_OD5_TetherAddOn

- G900V_OD5_Write_to_SDCard

Notes:
1. The above process will not affect your Knox Warranty Flag.
2. The process will update your Modem, Non-hlos, System, Kernel, Stock Recovery, and Bootloader to OD5.
3. No need to wipe prior to flashing, the ROM will automatically perform a factory data reset.
4. If you do not already have root access (or to unbrick) you must flash the G900VVRU1ANCG_Full_Odin.tar (flash in Odin's PDA slot(AP in Odin v3.09+)), root with Towelroot (this version does not require internet access), then proceed with the above process.
