Please help possible soft-bricked S5 - Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Phone info:
galaxy s5 (sm-g900v) verizon
sd card 16gb
previously before bricked had lollipop 5.0
So i was trying to root my s5 with odin and a custom rom. (i did not install a custom recovery) after the install through odin i tried to boot up the phone when i was greeted with the "Samsung Galaxy s5 powered by android" screen that stayed for a while, it then boots into recovery mode. i can not boot into android, but i can get into download and recovery mode easily. i tried to fix this by downloading more than 10 .tar files and trying to flash with odin but kept getting the error "SW REV CHECK FAIL : [aboot]Fused 2 > Binary 1" on the device. i was frustrated then decided to completely wipe everything so in recovery mode i wipe data/factory reset and wipe cache partitioned the phone but it did nothing to my benefit. after hours and days of struggle and frustration i am posting this to see if anyone can help.
thanks,
-Andrew

forgot to mention
I will be away on vacation from july 30th 2015, to august 10 2015, so if i do not reply i apologize but will reply as soon as possible

Samsung Note 3-N9005 : Stuck in Samsung logo screen

Hi All
Please help!!!
Model Name: Samsung Note 3 -N9005
Bought in: Dubai
My phone battery went down and upon charging back i found the phone stuck on 'Samsung logo' screen after booting.
Steps taken already:
1. Using ODIN3 V3.11 ran CF Root .tar file for N9005 International Version
2. Flashed the ROM with the help of recent firmware (UAE Version) downloaded from Sam mobile
After flashing, it rebooted and Android started upgrading, then it started Apps and went back to 'Samsung logo screen' and stuck again. I have all my 2 years of data stored and haven't taken any backup as well. I'm fine with the phone dead but I need you guys help to recover the data.
Any help is highly appreciated.
Not going to recover data unless your PC can see the phone and its files .
If it can then try Recuva .
My PC doesn't recognize the phone. :crying:
Any other steps to bring back the device alive?
Flash stock rom via Odin .
Stuck on boot screen factory reset .
Flashing will lose some data .
If the phone is recognized by the computer in download mode, flash twrp, boot into twrp, mount data partition, see if you can copy files to the computer.

Galaxy S5 SM-G900W8 failed to root

Hey guys,
I tried to root my gf's S5 with CF-AutoRoot's package. I got this for the specific version which I double-checked
Included in the package was Odin and the image with an "installer".
Everything was fine, device detected in Odin, selected image in AP and let it rip... Except I got an error after it was in the process, under UDC start, can't remember exactly as I had restarted the device with the loading bar at like 30% of the way... it stated something dev_state
After I restarted, I got the "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies and try again."
I would've thought it was going to be pretty straight forward and decided not to do a backup but I'm so getting killed if I'm going to lose the data!!!
Any insight? thanks
I tried to get Samsung Kies for the recovery but under the list of devices requiring emergency recovery it won't detect it...
I managed to retry the Odin flash with the same outcome.
The error message is unsupport dev_type if that makes any sense to someone
Well issue seems to have fixed itself by flashing latest TWRP... The Odin flash went smooth and phone booted normally...
must've been something off with the AutoRoot

Samsung Galaxy A8 SM-A530F stuck on Samsung logo after recovery boot

Hello All,
I have a galaxy a8 that I tried to boot into download mode to check if my drivers are working on the PC and it's stuck on the Samsung logo now. The problem is that I have data on it that are important and I have to save otherwise I would perform factory restart or flash it with regular CSC with Odin. I tried flashing the latest official firmware with HOME_CSC binary but it's still stuck.
I also tried simple stuff as cleaning cash and leaving it off for a day to power-drain but it's still stuck.
Can somebody please advise on any tips that I should try I been trying to unblock it for days
Thank you in advance
