[Q] Root Galaxy S5 sm-900s

I have an official korean Galaxy s5 with Android 5.0 with baseband version g900sksu1boa1, kernel 3.4.0-3866468, build number: lrx2it.g900sksu1boa1. I have been trying to root this phone for days using all available tutorials but all of them have failed. After shutting down the phone, and then pressing the Volume Down-Home-Power keys I get to a screen with Korean script on the page. If I press Volume Down, the phone boots to the normal screen. If I push Volume-UP, I get the Android character, and in the top left of the screen I get the following lines:
Odin Mode
Product Name: SM-G900S
Current Binary: Samsung Official
System Status: Official
Reactivation Lock(KK): On
Knox Warranty Void: 0x0
Qualcom Secureboot: Enable (CSB)
RP SWREV: S1, T1, R1, A1, P1
Secure Download: Enable
UDC Start
Then when I connect with Odin I get the following log entry:
<ID:0/005> Added!!
<ID:0/005> Odin v.3 engine (ID:5)..
<ID:0/005> File analysis..
<ID:0/005> SetupConnection..

<ID:0/005> Complete(Write) operation failed.

Then the "Failed"notification appears in Odin. Have I missed something here or does the build I have not have a rooting method yet?

Samsung Galaxy S4 (I9500): Bricked After Trying To Install Custom Recovery

Hello.
I got a new Galaxy S4 (I9500) this October, and decided I would go ahead and install custom recovery on it. Me thinking I can get anything to work did not heed the warnings that this model does not support it go ahead and try anyway. After several failed attempts I find some software on the Play store that seems promising. Long story short, I no longer have a functioning recovery partition, and my phone will always try to boot into recovery mode unless I boot in Odin mode.
I have tried to follow several guides, most of which tell me the same thing:
Get Samsung drivers (not Kies)
Download Odin (one version or another)
Get the I9500 Firmware and install using Odin.
My phone is (from the sticker below the battery):
MODEL:GT-I9500
FCC ID: A3LGTI9500
SSN:-I9500GSMH
It is also factory unlocked.
I did notice however that the text in the top left when in Odin mode says it is a SGH-I337
The full text:
ODIN MODE
PRODUCT NAME: SGH-I337
CURRENT BINARY: Samsung Official
SYSTEM STATUS: Custom
KNOX KERNEL LOCK: 0x0
KNOX WARRANTY VOID: 0x0
CSB-CONFIG-LSB: 0x30
WRITE PROTECTION: Enable
eMMC BURST MODE: enabled
I have tried flashing both 4.4.2 (as it was delivered with) and 5.0.1, but I get the same error:
<ID:0/005> Odin engine v(ID:3.1100)..
<ID:0/005> File analysis..
<ID:0/005> SetupConnection..
<ID:0/005> Initialzation..

<ID:0/005> FAIL! (Auth)
<ID:0/005>
<ID:0/005> Complete(Write) operation failed.

The error that is displayed on the phone is:
SECURE MAGICCODE CHECK FAIL : boot
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Edit: Added phone error

Help SM-G935F FRP Bypass

Hey guys please help me.
Long story short first: my stepsister wanted to get a new phone and gift this one to my stepdad. She apparently just factory resetted it with her google account on it but now when you start it up the FRP message pops up and the login doesn't work properly. This is the first time I even heard about FRP because I'm using a pretty old phone. I want to help because I'd consider myself good at computers and rooted my ex-smartphone years ago. Now I simply tried using this tutorial how to bypass it:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/general/general/bypass-frp-samsung-galaxy-s7-edge-t3765638
But that didn't work out because the ROM wasn't the right one for this device.
I spent the night downloading a previous stock ROM for it from a random website which took 12 hours
It was named DBT-G935FXXS1DQL1. Like I said stock ROM, I don't know if that's the right way. I wanted to downgrade it so I could use the bypass method from the tutorial.
But... That didn't work out either, Odin failed at this stage:
<ID:0/005> Odin engine v(ID:3.1203)..
<ID:0/005> File analysis..
<ID:0/005> SetupConnection..
<ID:0/005> Initialzation..
<ID:0/005> Set PIT file..
<ID:0/005> DO NOT TURN OFF TARGET!!
<ID:0/005> Get PIT for mapping..
<ID:0/005> Firmware update start..
<ID:0/005> SingleDownload.

<ID:0/005> param.bin
<ID:0/005> FAIL!
<ID:0/005>
<ID:0/005> Complete(Write) operation failed.
<OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 1)
And on the smartphone this error message appeared in the download mode:
"SW REV. CHECK FAIL. DEVICE: 2, BINARY: 1"
Here are the informations I have from the recovery mode:
samsung/hero2ltexx/&hero2lte
7.0/NRD90M/G935FXXS2DRDI
user/release-keys
And this is standing in the download mode:
ODIN MODE

CURRENT BINARY: Samsung Official
SYSTEM STATUS: Official
FRP LOCK: ON
Secure Download: Enabled
WARRANTY VOID: 0 (0x0000)
RP SWREV: B:2 K:0 S:0
Please help me, I really have no clue about this flashing older firmwares and such.
Thank you in advance, Philipp

Note 4, no binary PIT found

Hello
I wanted to use my Samsung Note 4 again.
When i started it, i came into the recovery mode.The phone seems not to start into the os.
The phone was working normaly before.
I made a factory reset and tried to restart the phone. But it got stuck.
So i removed the batterie and put it back in to turn the phone on, but i wouldnt. I removed the battery and waited a bit.
I again came into recovery mode.
Then i decided just to flash a new firmware via odin.
So i downloaded the official firmware form samfirm and tried to flash it but an error came: 'There is no pit partition'.
On the Note 4 Error: no pit binary
i googled a bit and found out i have to flash the PIT. So i downloaded the right pit for the firmware and tried again. Same Error
I dont know why its not working
I got the firmwares from sammobile. I tried 3 different.
My phone is from austria, so i tried TTR, MOB and DRE. For Pit i have SFR and VFG
What am i doing wrong? what am i missing?

Did i read it well, and understand that FRP Lock is ON.. that prevents me to install anyting?
"But if you haven't rooted/enabled OEM Unlock before, this won't work either and you may had to take your phone to a repair shop "
