Bricked and can't seem to fix it - Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot

So before all of this, my Sprint S4 was rooted but I don't think I installed a recovery on it as before this ****storm happened, trying to boot into a recovery didn't work, so I'm assuming I never installed one. So long story short, I was trying to install Cyanongenmod using their installer, wouldn't work after a few times and now my phone is stuck in the "firmware upgrade encountered an issue" and I can only boot into download mode, can't do anything else and I've tried using Kies recovery thing and nothing works. I've tried flashing new firmware in odin, everything I've tried always fails, gets stuck at "setup connection" a lot, tried different USB ports, cords, literally everything a few Google searches give me and I just cannot get this thing unbricked, and I'm just shocked why everything I tried to flash on it in odin just keeps failing.
I really, really need help from you guys as I need my phone for work and don't have any backup phones or anything, so I would appreciate 100% if someone can get me out this ****, thank you!

Also usually get this error in odin

Samsung Note 3 N9009 Dual Sim FAILED ROOT.. WHAT NOW? HELP!

Hi! I tried rooting my phone after a few reading online.
Basically the instruction is to press power,volume and main button to get to download mode, and press volume up to see the android logo.
Then open Odin, connect phone to computer via USB. Load the Root file via the PDA section. Click start.
The only options ticked are Auto Reboot, and F.Reset Time.
The instruction said click start then let the system go then the phone will restart when finished. But Odin shows it failed.
Im sure the root file downloaded is for my phone model I double checked with different sources.
What should I do? Is my phone bricked now?
I havent disconnected anything and Odin is still running. HELP!
This is what is showing in ODIN

Restoring with Odin, not working.

I have a rooted SGH-i337, I used Kingo's root to root it. I recently had safestrap with a custom rom loaded but I recently deleted the rom and then uninstalled safestrap. I then tried to do a full restore using Odin...but no matter how hard I try, I can't seem to get it working.
I have tried using the MF3 files and when that didn't work, I tried using the MK2 files.
I just keep getting this.

Try reinstalling drivers, different USB ports, OEM cable, other cables, etc. There's no really telling what is causing it.

Is there specific instructions I should be following here?
I go into download mode by holding the down volume key and power button, then I press the up volume key when it prompts me.
A screen shows "Downloading...."
I load all the files through odin, hit start, and it should start working right there, right?
EDIT:
Reinstalled samsung drivers, I had a couple different ones installed actually for some reason...
Used a different USB port, and a different cable. Oddly enough, none of the ones on the motherboard worked and I decided to give the front ones a shot. Worked like a charm, suh-weeeet.
I have a similar problem, I'll give this a try when I get home.

[i9506] Bricked after bad ODIN flash.

Hi! Today I tried to flash the official LP ROM from i9506 Lolipop Official Samsung firmware 5.0.1 by mar10o, but ODIN froze, and gave the output at the end. Now my phone is hard-bricked. Battery is at 70-80%, but it won't start at all. I have no Download Mode nor Recovery. I need help, or at least guidance of what I could do next. I've searched for hours but I haven't found a viable method to reflash the phone., or at least have it do anything at all. I already know that I'm srewed, but maybe someone know how to connect to the phone somehow.
Thanks for your time!

How can it be hard bricked? As far as I can see, it didn't even flash anything.
Try booting in download mode with battery out and connected to charger.

Hi,
Based on the ODIN log that you post, the installation interrupted because you accidentally remove your phone from your computer during initialization (if you don't do it so, might be bad USB cable). As all files are removed, you'll find yourself on a dead phone (in other words, Hard Bricked). The only way is to go to nearest Samsung Service Center, unfortunately.

[AT&T S7] Please help if you can. ODIN flashing stock error

EDIT: I HAVE SOLVED THE ISSUE. I am not sure how but I got into a different download mode and the flash worked. I also used different SM-930A Files and it worked but system status is still custom.
I want to put my phone back to stock after I have installed a custom ROM. I have an AT&T S7. I get this error while flashing the firmware using Odin

On the phone it says the following
"SW REV CHECK FAIL : [system]Fused 3 > Binary 1"
If you could tell me how to flash my phone back to stock without getting this error it would be very much appreciated.
I got the same error a while back. For me, it was because I was using Odin 3.11.1. Once I updated to Odin 3.12.3, the restore went smoothly. Someone correct me if that's not the way to fix this issue, but that is what worked for me.

I have resolved the issue. I have been trying for almost a month now to fix the phone and I finally did it. The device still says custom although I have flashed the official firmware on. Somehow I got into an alternative download mode that accepted the flash. I have no clue how I got it into the mode but it only said "downloading" and showed nothing in the top right corner. No white text.

Endless boot loop/no recovery mode

I tried to root my Sprint variant with Odin (Credo mobile is the carrier). Although Odin said it PASSED, the phone went into a boot loop. I tried the Sprint firmware to unroot it - Odin said it FAILED. If I hold Volume-up/home/power, I do not get a recovery menu, but just another loop, with "Recovery Booting" flashing in blue at the top. Held the buttons a long time, did everything over, etc. I can get to download mode, and the recovery mode loop, but nothing else. Suggestions?

Go into download mode and try flashing the firmware again. Tell us the error and I can try and help you fix your phone. By the recovery booting error, I assume you need the pit file to repartition your phone.
Here's the whole sad story, according to Odin:
