Verizon Galaxy S5 Rom install problems Safestrap

[GardenST8Wonder]

Ok So everywhere i looked for the SM-G900V says i need to use safestrap to install roms on my verizon s5 cause of the locked bootloader.

Installed busybox, SuperSu, got root access and installed safestrap.

Everytime i seem to install any rom (AllianceRom) it takes me straight back to Stock Recovery and then i have to reboot into safestrap. Once i see the Safestrap screen for 10 seconds after that it is just a black screen. Other people seem to be installing roms fine . Im not sure if im doing something wrong but if anyone has any help it would be much appreciated.

I can go into download mode and restore to Stock NCG. The only problem im having is when i try to install any touch-wiz based rom it goes to black screen then it boots into stock recovery forcing me to flash stock recovery again.

Can you Odin back to NCG and start from scratch. That's the only thing that I can think of doing and that's if you haven't taken any OTA's passed OD5.

Honestly im kinda new to rooting and what not. Ive rooted a non-verizon phone before, but i understand its different on verizon and at&t due to the locked bootloader. Ive tried to Odin back to NCG. Everything installs fine up to the point when i install a rom, it soft-bricks the phone. It loads back into stock recovery.

Now i thought it would be better if i update my Phone to OA8 5.0 Not sure if that is the newest update from verizon cause i dont get ota updates on my s5. Any help i can get would be much much appreciated. If i can i will try and odin back down to NCG.

Did you read that section and try it? It contains the procedure for clearing the cache after a ROM install, which almost always resolves the very issue you are having.
The other thing is, lollipop ROMs take around 10 minutes to boot up the first time.
