Did you just install Safestrap and not downgrade and root? Just install Safestrap that's it?

Well I have the safestrap installed and when I turn my phone off it shows me a option to go to it.. I made a backup already I am rooted. So I'm saying is it okay if I were to flash a ROM?

Unroot & remove unlocked padlock icon?

I've unrooted my phone but it still says custom with an unlocked padlock upon startup, any ideas? Factory reset does not work for this. Also, system apps that I deleted while rooted are not restored when factory reset.
Final thought: I wonder when they finally send out a firmware update if it will clean up any evidence of rooting.

Run triangle away from chainfires thread it'll take away your custom padlock splash screen then you'll have to Odin back to stock to get system apps you've deleted.

Are you sure we can do this? I've looked at the official Triangle Away thread and it doesn't list any S5 has being officially supported although in scanning the thread it looks like some have tried it on some S5 models.

I wouldn't post it worked if I hadn't used it myself more than once.
I've actually used it on the S2 S3 S4 and now S5.

Okay. Got it installed. Which setting turns off the padlock?
Edit: Didn't change any of the settings. When I rebooted/powered off the phone the padlock went away and the application now shows current status of System as "official" when it showed it as "modified" before. However what I'm now wondering is if I try to unroot with supersu will the padlock stay away for good? Or do I need to do anything else to reset this thing back to normal? I have not deleted any stock rom apps.
Ok, I went to the first link you posted and downloaded the .rar file and followed that method and phone is like stock. No padlock, got my calendar back, and I'ma happy man. Thanks again!

Wish I could at this point. I'm going to see if I can sell my S5 and hopefully get enough to get a something reasonable from T-mobile since I am with them now. Unfortunately, it won't be something as expensive and nice as the S5 and it won't be another Samsung device.

You can unlock your device so that you could use the S5 on any GSM network... Assuming your phone is paid off and 60 days have passed.

You don't have to sell just sim unlock it and use your TMobile sim card

Someone in a thread here claimed they were successful doing this. But I have seen no confirmation by anyone else that it worked.
General consensus is no.

Me too :good:
Something offtopic.
One of the reasons i wanted to root, was cause i wanted to use the LAYER MANAGER
to apply themes.
Didn't work.
Do you use any kind of theme to get an darker UI ?
