Can this be flashed over my current setup?
Yup. And you can restore back if you want. The only thing that sticks is the modem
Again thanks for all the hard work. Really love the work you do.
OK so I made the leap and dirty flashed this over my current setup. Now I'm having issues with gmail fc'ing. So I uninstalled it thinking that may help. So I tried to install it from the play store and it says "incompatible update"??? Now I can't even sideload it as it tells me " application not installed". Any ideas as to why its doing this?

OK so something weird just happened... I went into recovery to fix permissions to see if that would help and gmail was somehow reinstalled... Its still not working but weird.
---------- Post added at 01:04 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:59 PM ----------
Disregard my previous posts. Its working now.
I'm really liking the ZV6 update! The ROM is smooth and no lag noticed. I was able to pick up cell signal quickly. Great Job!
I flashed this ROM, updated PRL/Profile and then flashed Sac 2. How can I verify that the modem stuck?

Go to Settings>About>Software. There will be 2 lines of numbers for the modem now.
It'll stick as Sacs doesn't include kernel or modem.

You got it.
A couple of questions. I have bump and twrp installed and rooted on zv4, everything else is stock, except the kernel. I flashed the oversharpening fix kernel. Can I apply this zv6 update to my phone without wiping data and keeping the fixed kernel? Also, should I download the odex or deodexed?

You can probably dirty flash. But you will lose the kernel.
Obviously my recommendation is to start from scratch as there's enough changes/fixes in this update to give you issues.
On the odexed vs deodexed, you can Google it for a better explanation. But the simple answer is: Deodexed is way easier to Theme. But Odexed is said to run a bit faster/smoother because it caches the apps. If I remember that right.
Really the choice is up to you. If you want to Theme it, then you'll need deodexed.

I dirty flashed the deodexed version and when i booted the phone up, i keep getting com.android.systemui has stopped, and I can't do anything with the phone. Any fix in mind? For reference, my dpi was changed, so that may be the issue, i'm not sure

Clean install.
If you used an app to change DPI, then that's probably the issue. You need to wipe data also.
If through the build.prop, then it should've been OK.
You might be able to dirty flash the odexed as that's like factory.
Again, were taking about a factory update so it really should be a clean install.
Anyone having issues with Android Wear and ZV6? When connected to my Moto360 I get running sync loop. The only thing I haven't tried is resetting the phone and watch.
Since the update is already signed by LG, we should be able to use flashify if we have stock recovery and rooted. Is that correct? I know that I should bump TWRP, but I was holding off till lollipop. Just looking to do a dirty flash.

I know Flashify has had issues in the past with these Roms. That's why I recommend doing it in TWRP.
If you have TWRP already why Bump it again?
Maybe I'm misunderstanding.
Edit. I wouldn't think stock recovery would flash this. It's using bits and pieces of ZV6 but not all of it.
And I think the updater-scipt would make it fail. I may be wrong though.

I'm stock recovery and rooted. Since I haven't bumped TWRP, I thought I could flashify and avoid the 5 second TWRP delay issue by holding off on a custom recovery until we get the stock rooted version of lollipop. You and autoprime have always given solid advice and as such I will take your suggestion.

And again, I'm outta Thanks, so Thank you.
The 5 sec delay I talked about has disappeared for me now. But then I've flash about a million Roms in the last few days.
Others aren't getting the delay at all.
I guess what I'm saying is you don't need to reflash Bump TWRP. It works just fine. Even if you get that slight delay. Eventually it'll go away.
Edit. Get TWRP installed now. Have some fun with whatever Rom you want to try. Personally I'm not expecting Lollipop til next year. If it happens sooner great.

keeps rebooting (sprint version)
I'm at a loss. Since unlocking my bootloader, flashing TWRP and installing CM11, this is the second Sense rom that doesn't work for me. (unlocked bootloader, s-on, Sprint HTC One Max)
Just as with Adrenaline, I'm able to successfully flash the rom in TWRP and it boots to the HTC setup menu. But shortly thereafter the phone reboots. After that it seems to reboot every 90 seconds. I can't reflash Cm11 without a problem. But as soon as I flash this or Adrenaline the reboot problem reoccurs. Anyone know what I'm ****ing up?

I sent you a PM, but figured I would also respond here. Make sure that the version of TWRP that you are using is from Fly's thread here on XDA:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2498746
If you are using TWRP from Fly's thread, make sure you are not wiping System when flashing the ROM since this is done automatically.
Hope this helps you.

Hi, thanks for the reply.
I've tried both 2.8.0.1 and 2.8.1.0 from that thread you linked. I have followed the instructions in your OP. I only do the swipe to wipe, I don't do any advanced wiping. I think I'm missing something somewhere. The phone starts fine and boots into Android. Once I'm there it reboots after a minute or so. What could cause such an issue?
CM11 flashes perfectly fine and works too except for the lack of Spark and the Wifi profile reset. This is really strange.

Hmm I don't think so. All I did was unlock the bootloader on HTC's website. Then I followed Cyanogen's instructions to put CM11 on there. After I was dissatisfied with the LTE/Wifi issues I tried flashing the Adrenaline rom. When that didn't work I tried yours.
I should mention that I did buy this phone earlier this year on ebay. Supposedly new. Is there a way to find out if the previous owner did flash a different kernel?

I would suspect this to be your problem. After you did your initial flash of TWRP, you created a backup of your phone and saved it...correct?
I am on your sprint version on the ROM and love it. It has been my daily driver for a while but i have one problem.m I have not been able to get LTE to allow me to use wifi tethering at all.. every time I try the LTE signal comes and goes and never stays connected so i can only use 3g which isnt all that bad when i have a good signal, but when I know LTE is available to use itnwould be nice to get full speed from my phone.
I hope this ROM may come to International GSM model too.. :good::good::good:

Hey I just wanted to let you know that I solved my problem in case someone else experiences the same issue. The problem ended up being the SuperSU included in the rom. It was causing the 60/90 second reboot. As soon as I let it update the binaries the reboots stopped.
thanks for all tbe help.

Thanks for the update on what resolved your problem. As I'm learning, i found files i was missing when including SU in the ROM. The newer releases should not have these issues... Sorry for any inconvenience.

Sounds like they got up on the wrong side of the bed. I think it is entirely user error.
To the one thay asked about putting Lollipop on the Metro s5 You Can definitely flash the Lollipop tar on a metro s5 But that will make your firmware completely Tmobile based.
Make sure u back up Metro s5 4.4.2 with twrp
Also latest twrp flashed fine on my Tmobile S5 on Lollipop official

I recently flashed this yesterday with odin. Everything is working great, love it. only issue I have been experiencing isnt really much of an issue but rather just annoying. For some reason I am unable to change any text notification sounds. No matter what I do it is stuck on the whistle notification. Ive even booted back into recovery and tried to wipe cache again and that doesnt seem to work either. I already performed a factory reset in recovery before first boot. So idk. anyone know what the issue could be?

Installing ROM's
I was wondering since the OTA update that gave Galaxy S4 Verizon users Lollipop, is it possible to install this ROM and then download Cyanogenmod? I'm wondering this because there is Loki in this ROM and as far as I know Loki allows you to install any ROM. Correct me if I'm wrong. Also does flashing this ROM give root access, or is there a separate thread for that? Thanks.
Can I just use CWM recovery to flash this and is there any extra steps that I need to do other than the normal that I usually do when flashing Roms. Im on VRUAMDK bootloader and MDK baseband with CWM version 6.0.4 running Hyperdrive rls 21

If your bootloader is not the MDK version the answer is no. Any bootloader after MDK cannot be exploited with loki. If you don't know which boolloader you have type "getprop ro.bootloader" from within a terminal emulator and the results will tell you.
Okay... So I will respectfully move this question from the main thread of the ROM to here.
Has anyone successfully completed a Tap-n-Pay transaction using Google Wallet?
I am not able to have the reader even recognize the 'tap' much less get to the 'pay'. But on OctOL, I am able to complete these same transactions.

So I have a Note II for my work phone and I just turned on SBeam and transferred a file both directions between the two phones... so I guess it is, in fact, a Google Wallet problem, not a phone/kernel problem. At least on the surface anyway.
Thanks, again for the help.
At least you know NFC can work with the ROM in some applications.
Well... I tried it again and it still will not work with Google Wallet.
Bummer.
Any chance that the kernel posted by Surge might have a tweak that can help with the nfc?
I did go back and confirm that the OctOL Lollipop ROM works flawlessly and actually communicates the transaction more quickly than the TW based Hyperdrive ROM.

If you're on 5.0.1 stock unrooted, then you're currently out of luck, I believe, no root/roll-back method.
Anyone Else have problems with overheating?
So I am on MDK rooted flashed TWRP after I flashed this rom. Everything is running smoothly however when I use Bluetooth streaming music in my car and navigation the phone gets extremely hot to the point where I get a cooling down error message. Once that happens the phone goes into closing applications and then eventually gets warm enough to shut down. So at first I thought kernel issue, tried with the Hulk kernel same result. Even on different roms such as Dan's GPE lollipop, the phone heats up and shuts down. I have ODIN back to MDK using a .pit file and NAND erased all on this phone and still the heat has been an issue.
i know its common with these phones to overheat, so I contacted Verizon and had two replacements sent which one was running NG6 and the other OC1. Both overheated and shut down doing the same thing as the MDK baseband phone I originally had. Anybody have any similar situation, or have an idea about what I should try to keep these phones from overheating? As a a side note the phones bloat apps were frozen on the replacements as best I could since neither were rooted. I don't know what I should do since I need the phone for navigation and I don't have an upgrade since I still have unlimited data, and seeing as the replacements are all acting the same, that doesn't leave me too many options with getting a phone that actually works.
Thanks for any help and advise on what I should do.

Known issues - none = wrong!
There is a very major issue. Non MDK users cannot install Viper4Android because SELinux mode cannot be changed to permissive. Spent all day getting this rom installed and working out the kinks only to find out that Viper4Android cannot be installed due to stock kernel SELinux mode not being able to be changed to permissive.
Nevermind I found fix

Tether Mod Deodex?
I couldn't find the answer to this on the main thread or here - last night when I tried to flash the tether mod over the top of the standard rooted-odexed ROM, the phone booted up and immediately started throwing System errors. I was able to factory reset back to stock, but the tether mod obviously didn't work. Does that mod need to be flashed over the deodexed version of this ROM to work? If not, any other ideas on how to make the tether mod work?

I am afraid of scrubbing my telephone.
Thank you for your help
UPDATE: SOLVED, as of 07 FEB 2016; I needed to find an .MD5-compiled ROM with an NC5 bootloader; my last working bootloader was NC5 and using Odin to flash ROMs with other bootloaders had failed.
My phone has been rooted for over 2 years now and I've run a handful of ROMs, with Hyperdrive probably the most stable of the lot. Last fall I was losing some functionality (bad microphone) and I figured I might as well try a new ROM in case that helped. I install CM 12 and life was okay. I set it to download updates (mistake) and it upgraded me from CM 12 to CM 13. Much as I like the new Marshmallow features, my S4 steadily degraded in function over time, to the point where I stopped making or receiving phone calls.
Last week half of my installed apps disappeared, and attempting to install anything through the Google Play store failed. No clue how that might happen, but I knew it was time to flash a new ROM.
That was when I discovered I could no longer boot into TWRP; it hung on the TEAMWIN logo screen. Then I started getting the Verizon screen claiming it had detected unauthorized software.
Since I could no longer operate the phone, I went ahead and put it into download mode and ran Odin3 v3.10.7 and used that to flash an OC1 ROM, the only one I had that was in .MD5 format.
Now I can't get past a bootloop that leaves me hanging at the Verizon logo screen.
Any thoughts?
What is your bootloader right now? And/or what was it while on Hyperdrive?
Edit: wait....I see where u Odin'd oc1...was it the stock image? If so u may have flashed the oc1 boot.img. If that's the case, I suggest you download FlashFire and read up on it. Because if u were on nc5 or anything before you should be able to ODIN back down. But if u have an oc1 bootloader you're permalocked.
Huh. I tried to respond to this hours ago. Didn't upload, apparently.
Anyhow, thanks for responding. I have not been able to get an .MD5 version of the stock image to flash. The only complete .MD5 I've successfully downloaded is called "I545VRUGOC1_Neutered_Full_Odin.tar.md5". The last ROM running on this device was CyanogenMod 13, which is Android 6 with NC5 kernel.
I'm currently attempting to download "VRUFNC5 Full-Wipe Verizon SCH-I545 4.2.2 562219 Stock Restore.tar.md5" but it is slow going.
As for FlashFire, how could I install it to my phone? I cannot get past the bootloop. Odin seems to be my only option for flashing at this point, right?
Have you tried going to recovery after flashing OC1? maybe there are some leftovers of previous process, if your phone can go into recovery you should try to do some wipes

Great suggestion; unfortunately, TWRP is blocked by the Verizon notice now (the one that tells you Verizon's identified unauthorized software on the phone).
Okay, I'm going to try an NC5.MD5 that I was able to download. Here's hoping it moves this process forward....
I can help you! I have everything! PM me here, or send me a message on hangouts!

You're on the right path. ODIN the nc5 full wipe. And from there you can use Safestrap to flash whatever. But I'm wondering if you've locked the bootloader to oc1 or of1. If that's the case, you can go to sammobile.com and register and sign-in and download any factory image flashable thru ODIN.
The nc5.md5 worked! It's not particularly stable (yet), but at least the phone boots up and seems to work.Thanks to those who took the time to read over the issue and offer suggestions!
May i ask how you had cm13 running on nc5? @Cincinnatux

Yeah me too?!...I was confused throughout this whole post, but I'm glad he took the advice and got nc5 full wipe. Does the trick everytime (on a downgradeable bootloader of course).

Perhaps I am mistaken. I had NC5 the last time I had checked, which was when I installed CM12. Sometime around December or so CM12 upgraded itself to CM13. The only thing I remember having to change was GAPPS, moving that from 5.1 to 6.0.

Regardless of whether it was CM12 or CM13, I would still like to know how you did it and where you got the files from.
Thanks.

While I used to troll XDA for ROMs, for CM I'm sure I went to their website and downloaded whatever was current at the time, which was a Lollipop ROM. I used TWRP to install, but I no longer have any of my notes for that install so I couldn't verify any of this, really.

If that's the case then you actually had the mdk bootloader. There is no way to have any cm based rom on nc5.

That's what I was assuming as well. When I had the s3, I was able to install a cm Rom thru Safestrap. Actually the other thread we were in by mohammad.afaneh, he was a dev on the Safestrap for s3 and got it to support a cm Rom, but it didn't have working data signal or Wi-Fi.

So he got kexec working? That would be nice.
Maybe he can provide some insight on this.
I know many others that would love to use cm based roms.
Would be even better if he could get safestrap to work on oc1/of1 bootloaders

I don't think it was kexec. But go to the s3 forums and/or search his afh. We could probably modify it, or figure out exactly what he changed and incorporate it into the SS we have. Depending on what he changed, it may be possible to implement nc5flasher, gain support for AOSP bases (aka get them to boot). But in order to have a fully functional modem/firmware, the kernel would need to be built from source. I do know there is a thread (I think in s4 unified development) on a proof of concept project that will enable insecure modules on locked bootloaders. I could be wrong about the actual forum it's in and exactly what's involved. I believe it can be done, it's just gonna take many minds focused on a common goal with positive intent.
PS. There's a bounty and it would be nice if we could do it.

No, he modded CM enough to work with SS...

Just to reduce my ignorance a little, maybe one of you can point out the error in my thinking/memory. I thought NC5 vs MDK vs OC1 was whatever was listed in About Phone as the Baseband Version, right? While my phone was MDK at the time of purchase (July 2013), I changed the baseband a few times while upgrading to newer flavors of Android. My current baseband is I545VRUFNC5, which is what I remember it being last fall as well. Where am I mistaken? Thanks!

Baseband does not equal bootloader.
You can update the baseband no problem but can't update the bootloader without being able to go back.
There is an app that you could use to check your bootloader called samsung phone info I believe our something like that.
Hey guys thanks for taking your time and reading. I have a Verizon Sch-i545 Galaxy S4 with a OF1 bootloader. I really and when i say really i mean it, really want a deodexed rom. I literally have been searching for days, bricking my device, and much more. All you tech savvy pros out there could you possibly help me i really wanted a deodexed rom just to download xposed and other modules. Please help, thanks again!
Either of Stang5litre's roms work and the Albe95 ports are nice too

Well the thing is I've tried stangs 3 times and got a black screen after booting past the Samsung custom bootlogo
I tried stang's, and I could only get one to connect to the network, but it kept giving me a security warning every couple of minutes. Albe's s6 rom works great after turning off the edge features.
@hooks024 @ConfudentialGUI Did you figure it out? I'm trying to figure out why some have trouble and others don't. There has to be a common connection. Let me know.
Nah I didn't even try
recovery kernel to flash on an OF1 build
So if I'm understanding this thread correctly, there is a rom I can install even with an OF1 build? I'll check these suggested roms. Big question to me is flashing a recovery kernel, what is it, where to download and instructions to install flash process.
instead of making a thread to ask i figured id just ask in this one....my girl has an i545pp with 0h7 baseband...... i've been retired from the game for a few years now but wanting know what i could do to unlock it and get here on a custom rom.... her ex has some **** on here i want wiped but though unlocking it and hooking her up would be better than a factory reset
thanks in advance

Finally got it. The first time I used Flash Fire the rom I downloaded was for the MDK build Stang rom. Working back through it I realized what I'd done, checked my download list and flashed everything correctly. I'm going through set up right now. It is so refreshing to not have to look at that damn Verizon boot image! Once again, thanks to all the collaborators and usual suspects that put all this together.

OK. It's a mystery. I have the same device, but I can switch roms freely. Can you pm me with a description of how you rooted and what you did after. Also, I have tried installing xposed on stang5litre... the result was a reacquainence with my old friend Odin. I would like to figure out why some can flash stang and others cannot.
Thanks.
I have had no trouble with stang's ROM on my phone or my friend's s4... Albe's ROM had some problems that I eventually solved. Still running Stang's ROM
