[Q] Bricked VZW S4 - Odin Fail! (Auth)

So I tried rooting my girlfriends VZW S4. I got booted into Safestrap recovery and tried installing a custom ROM... every rom I had failed. So I just wiped the cache, still didn't work. Now I reboot the phone and im stuck at the "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again."
Odin will NOT WORK with ANY build I try to flash it. I get that god damn Fail (Auth!) error EVERY TIME.

Someone help
says SW REV. CHECK FAIL : fused : 6 , binary : 5 on the phone after odin fails.
Tried a bunch of things, nothing yet.
EDIT:
http://galaxys4root.com/galaxy-s4-stock-firmware/
found a stock one that is actually working.... so far so good

The reason why it doesn't work is because you are flashing old firmwares. You can't flash 4.2.2 and 4.3 once you are on 4.4.2. You can only flash 4.4.2.

Now that I am on 4.4.2, is this phone stuck with that? I managed to get safestrap on it, but I still cannot install any custom ROMs on it. Tried partitioning a new piece and installing cyanogen on there, no luck, just bootloops... this is a headache!

No, this is the result of "play" with a SAMSUNG device :highfive:

My s3 took 5 min to install cyanogen lol. Womp womp

Yes but my guess is your s3 isn't a Verizon version.
ps I don't think CM works on your version. I think you can only flash custom roms that match your kernel.

That error is almost always a bad cable or one that is too long or a bad port.
It might also be worth redownloading the firmware.
If you still have issues then I suggest rooting and using Flashfire to install the firmware.

You can flash android 5.1.1 .but you cannot flash android 5.0 it will fail because once you are on 5.1.1 or 6.0.1 you cannot downgrade to 5.0 or 4.4.4 samsung has locked down bootloader to prevent downgrading.

Flash Twrp recovery via odin
In twrp Go to wipe
Wipe "system+data+cache+dalvic cache+internal storage you have to wipe 3 times or more to make sure all partations are wiped cleaned.
Then you have to download repair firmware for your specific model.
Repair firmware comes with 5 files "BL+AP+CP+CSC+PIT"
you have to extract and upload all files in odin with PIT file.
Then go to odin options and check on "nand eraseall" and "re partition"
Now boot your device into odin download mode
Now hit start and wait until finish
Then dont let phone reboot you have to boot into stock recovery and do wipe cache & factory reset then reboot.
If this method fails then there is no way to fix it unless changing logic board because your internal storage is dying thats why it shows "mmc_write fail".
You can download repair firmware from www.tsar3000.com

Try to put your phone in freezer without battery for an hour then try this method again.
Keep trying if it doesn't work then as i told you you have to replace logic board because your internal memory is dead.
