Firmware

AXP.OS for the Samsung S5 does not include any firmware so you need to manually upgrade as described . Skipping this step might result in unexpected behavior and problems later on.

Required firmware/bootloader: Android 6.0.1 (divestOS recommendation here)

• firmware-guide

This step needs to be done only once.

Install / Upgrade

recovery

While not recommended you can use any other recovery of course but keep in mind that only the official one is able to verify the AXP.OS OTA signature and is hardened* like the OS itself. So it is HIGHLY recommended to use the official AXP.OS recovery.

Download the latest official AXP.OS recovery from here: leech server

Flashing the recovery should be done by using heimdall (a tool which is e.g. included in mAid):

heimdall flash --RECOVERY recovery.img

then boot to recovery and follow the next topic.
