[VZW_Stock TW Rom][6.0.1 MM QA1 Build Odex For Locked Bootloader SafeStrap Only]

[jrkruse]

Do Not Flash This On Unlocked Bootloaders Or You Will Relock Your Bootloader!!!​

Once your on MM 6.0.1 you cannot restore a Lollipop Backup using SafeStrap or vice versa. Follow the link at bottom of post for guide and files to downgrade back to Lollipop

Ok the first thing I want to make clear is YOU WILL NOT HAVE ROOT! You will still have the use of Safestrap Recovery even though phone will not be rooted. What this will allow you to do is boot the non rooted rom back into safestrap. While in Safestrap you can do what you have always done, Flash Zips, Make Backups,Etc. This will also make it easy if you want to go back to PB1 rooted rom.



You must be on A rooted rom preferably A PB1 rom running SafeStrap

If Running FlashFire
Make sure latest busybox is installed
Install MM_Safestrap.apk

Reboot to safestrap
Wipe Data,Cache,System
Install VZW_QA1_STOCK_SAFESTRAP_ONLY_V2.zip

Roms will take a long time to boot up be patient!
This will put you on pure stock rom MM QA1 rom but from here you can get to safestrap to flash other roms or mods

To return to Safestrap you will need to flash a kitkat kernel NI2_stock_kernel.tar.md5 using odin then when phone reboots click on enter safestrap recovery. When leaving safestrap you must flashMM_KERNEL_SS-FF_Flashable.zip. Which will be located on your internal storage In a folder called MM_KERNEL_SS-FF_Flashable

If you want to flash other custom roms a guide can be found HERE

Thanks Jkruse!

Question... I tried your stock PB1 before and it worked well. I however hosed myself flashing the incorrect firmware and USB bulk mode occured when I attempted to go back to PHX11 5.0 ROM. I flashed firmware as when I reloaded the backup of PHX 11 I had no data or wifi.

I saved the phone however and need to know what is the correct procedure to go back to LP backups if I try this and decide not to stay? I want to avoid bulk mode again!

Thank you!!

I'll read up! Thank you!!

Would this be the same procedure for OG5 just substitute the PB1 caution firmware with OG5 caution firmware? I assume just match the ROM you go to with the caution zips that don't contain the bootloader.

Pretty sure I didn't use the caution firmware before and that what caused my issues.

If you goback to lollipop it will need to be PB1

Added debloat script to post 2 that can be flashed with safestrap

OK thank you for clarifying. I use PHX 11 and always need to flash the OG5 kernal from safe strap so I assumed I'd need OG5 firmware for that particular situation.

Also thanks for updating the OP about using backups to and from MM - that will help others avoid issues.

I'll stop clogging the thread now! Appreciate all the information and work you do!!

Hey, thanks for this great site and all of your guides. It really helps.
I just rooted my s5 g900v and Im still on KITKAT NK2. Would it be possible for me to update from that version to this one following your guide?
Sorry for asking really basic questions. My phone at the moment is sim unlocked and rooted, but CID starts with 11 so I cannot unlock the boatloader, right? Then I assume this ROM is my best option. I want to be really sure that I will still be sim unlocked on the new ROM, its got nothing to do with it, right?
Many many thanks in advanced!

Yes you can update to this rom and also verizon phones are all sim unlocked so it will rermain sim unlocked. Just remember if your still on kitkat when you flash anything with safestrap do not use rom slots flash on the stock rom slot. If you dont know what this means then dont worry about it

Thanks for the hard work, unfortunately my cid 15 just took a nice fat swim and i had to get a replacement and got a cid 11 instead (##$$%@@@!#[email protected]). Your guides have been great to get to this point but got a couple questions:

Any link to what the debloat script removes? I just ran it and it doesn't seem to remove anything (ran it at same time as addblock). Going to reboot and flash it again see if it does. Any way we can remove the stuff we don't want? (all the VZW junk)
