[i9506] Bricked after bad ODIN flash. - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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.

[Q] Unauthorized Software

Okay so my S4 was just fine until an update broke the wifi usage. I tried doing what I was told would probably help by trying to flash it back to how it was, but that didn't work, and I ended up with a warning message each time I power on my S4 "System Software not authorized by Samsung has been found on your phone."
It won't boot past this, and when powered off, and plugged into my computer it constantly vibrates, on and off.
I've tried flashing the Sprint Stock S4 rom, but that only leaves me with a failure message in Odin.

Samsung Galaxy S5 SM-G900H - Locked at boot screen

Good morning, I have a Samsung S5 SM-G900h that is locked in the boot screen. The former owner tried to update the android to Lollipop, but did not know what he was doing and it now only comes into Download mode (not enter recovery mode). I've tried to go back to stock rom via Odin, but gives the error "There is not PIT Partition". I tried to rewrite with the PIT file, but gives the error "Failed Repartition". In last resort, I tried to erase the Nand, but neither worked. I've only had USB cable, door and computer, but all without success. I have a "junk" at hand?
Below is log Odin (already tried 3:07, 3:09, 3:10)

You are flashing the wrong files. The root file was for the GT-I9505 and the recovery for the GT-I9506. You have a GT-I9500, which is completely different. Try flashing files for the GT-I9500.

UnRoot Not Working (Save Me Please!!!)

So a few months back I followed PSouza's guide (https://forum.xda-developers.com/ve...-to-notes-root-install-xposed-unroot-t3411039) to rooting the S7 Edge and everything worked perfectly. As of late, the phone has had many general performance issues and I decided today unrooting may be the best option for right now. So I cracked back open the thread and followed the instructions and low and behold, as always, something had to go wrong. For starters, Odin gives me a fail before it even really gets started (log below).

The phone itself gives a SW Rev check fail after that (in the download mode).
So I thought to myself I'd just keep it in the meantime and just restart it and use it for now, but low and behold I now can't leave download mode. If I restart regularly, I'm brought back to a software update failed screen, and if I switch to recovery mode (? vol up + home + power) I've wiped the cache partition as another forum suggested, but then going to reboot system now... That restart brings me right back into recovery. I currently have the phone off charger in hopes the battery dies and something changes then.
I'm also downloading the very very latest firmware update for the S7 Edge in hopes that maybe Odin will like it a bit better than this one (VZW_G935VVRU2APE1.zip).
Any ideas? Any solution that gets me a working phone again, I'll definitely make a donation to your PayPal! Thanks in advance for any help!
To anyone reading this having the same issue, follow the instructions in this post (https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=71133959&postcount=27) worked like a charm.

Have you tried using smart switch? It is a PC app by Samsung which will automatically choose the correct firmware for you, flash it and also unroot your phone. It is the easiest way to do it.

The issue I was having was that Smart Switch wasn't recognizing my phone off the bat, and when I went to emergency recovery, it would say my serial number was incorrect so it wasn't useable for me.

- i entered into Maintenance Boot Mode and tried 'factory mode' or any Debug mode or 'safe mode' and nothing, phone just reset and going back to bootloop.

- other thing i tried was to use Verizon Wireless Software Upgrade Assistant software;
looks very promising; phone was detected and firmware was downloaded:

but it didn't flash, it's failed, so i copied the files and tried with odin and it was the same - failed.
- i tried with older versions of odin, but they display "unsupported dev" error on the phone.
- i tried with different cable and computer, one at work and other at home - no luck.
i don't know what else to try, after trying to flash 27 firmwares maybe i missing something?
i stayed up all night for this.
any help will be welcomed.
same issue
i can get the newest firmware to flash with odin 3.14 but same issue. only description difference is it seems to freeze then reboot. i have seen it progress a little further with reboots (over time) all the way to the setup screen then freeze and reboot or freeze altogether. been at this for like a week now. driving me nuts please help!! i think im going to try the s7 edge firmware see what that does.
Same exact issue. Hope someone has a solution.
Just have to say. Know the frustration. I have done the same thing with a dozen firmwares. Not as many as you and can not find the answer. If I do i will let you know.
One thing
So I finally got this file to work and pass G930VVRS9CSB1_G930VVZW9CSB1_VZW in odin 3.13. It's still rebooting though. Argh.
