[Q] Root Galaxy S5 sm-900s - Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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>
<ID:0/005> Complete(Write) operation failed.
<OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 1)
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

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> Complete(Write) operation failed.

The error that is displayed on the phone is:

Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Edit: Added phone error

I had my device rooted on an older version of android (4.4 I believe). I removed root and was able to update OTA to 5.0 lolipop. Now I cant seem to root it at all. I've tried Kingo and Odin. Here is the log from Odin after it failed.

Any help is needed, Thank you.
In KK nand write start error could be reactivation lock is enabled. But in L that menu nowhere to be found. Maybe I missed it somewhere.
Sorry just noticed it's not mentioned on you download mode description. I guess it's different with at&t version.

I was told to look for reactivation lock, but I can't find it either.

I'm not concerned with my phone being fake. I bought it through AT&T brand new over 2 years ago.

Note 4 Boot Loop - Tried KIES and Flashing Stock ROM - Still Looping

Hey ya'll, this past Saturday my Note 4 started a boot loop while using Baconreader. I was using stock ROM, unrooted, T-Mobile. I first deleted the cache partition, then did a factory reset, but neither worked.
I tried flashing with Odin v3.09, using ROMS from SamMobile:
4.4.4 ANK4
5.0.1 COD6
5.0.1 COG2
Each time I would get
<ID:0/003> Odin v.3 engine (ID:3)..
<ID:0/003> File analysis..
<ID:0/003> SetupConnection..
<ID:0/003> Initialzation..

<ID:0/003> rpm.mbn
<ID:0/003> FAIL! (Auth)
<ID:0/003>
<ID:0/003> Complete(Write) operation failed.
<OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 1)
And on the phone in download mode was:
Odin Mode (High Speed)
Product Name: SM-N910T
Current Binary: Samsung Official
System Status: Official
Reactivation Lock: Off
Knox Warranty Void: 0x0
Qualcomm Secureboot: Enable (CSB)
AP Swerv: S1, T1, R1, A2, P1
Secure Download: Enable
UDC Start
SW Rev Check Fail : [aboot]Fused 2 > Binary 1
[1]eMMC write fail: ABOOT
I then used the latest ROM from SamMobile, 6.0.1 EPE3, and everything worked. Odin flashed it and the installation was good. But as soon as it finished and booted for the first time the boot loop started again. I tried using KIES to do a emergency firmware restore but it would not pick up my Note 4 (Using a Samsung USB Cord) I tried it with and without Samsung USB Drivers installed. I'm starting to think it may be a hardware problem, honestly though I have no idea. I would like to get some other opinions before I send off for a new one. (No warranty over a year old) Thanks in advance, and sorry if the formatting is long, I figured it would be easier to read if everything was spaced out. Thanks in advance.

Screwed up flashing my Samsung Galaxy Note 4

The phone would start and all of a sudden shut off and either stay off or it would turn back on but go into the download mode, and very rarely it would turn back on properly, so being the hard headed 20 year old i am i tried to flash it without consulting help first
i have no idea what i did but now the device only loads into download mode (if it even turns on) ive tried to flash it properly now and it comes up with an error

Hope it doesn't have an emmc problem.
Which files did you try to flash or was it just one?
If they latter use samfirmtool to download multiple part stock ROM by checking "binary nature" in its options.
As you are flashing one older ROM an older Odin might hekp as well not to mention other cables/USB ports.
it looks VERY emmc issue
and since you did not seek to get educated first, before doing anything... well you end up here
we try to help
so
read here, maybe it will work for you
