Phone stuck on "Samsung Galaxy S5 .. Powered by Android" screen - Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So originally I had 5.0 stock firmware that was updated through Samsung Kies.
Then I started using Samsung SmartSwitch (new Kies) and it told me I had a new update. I tried installing it and it failed.
So phone was stuck and error message showed ".. update failed .." and so on.
I decided to put the phone in download mode and flash the stock firmware via Odin but no matter what I try, everything fails.
As of right now, I've read and tried multiple things. Like this:

http://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-galaxy-s5/help/wont-past-s5-powered-android-screen-t3225682
When I go to download mode on the phone, here is what reads on the top left:
ODIN MODE
PRODUCT NAME: SM-G900V
SYSTEM STATUS: Official
REACTIVATION LOCK(KK): OFF
QUALCOMM SECUREBOOT: ENABLE (CSB)
RP SWREV: S1, T2, A1, A2, P1
SECURE DOWNLOAD : ENABLE
UDC START​
The following guide shows very good instructions with all the files but I am unsure of which version I should be using or even the file for that version since there are SOO MANY files there. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2784880
A little detail answer would really be appreciated.
Thank you!!

I would Odin flash a recovery and format everything on the phone before attempting to odin flash official firmware.
Make sure you are flashing the latest 4.4 that your carrier has released.

Just flash a 4.4.2 stock rom true Odin that is for you device.

i9506 S4 Unable to recover, stuck in DL Odin mode

Hi. Samsung Galaxy S4 GT-i9506. Tried to root/install Lollipop 5.0.1 (I had 4.2.2 KitKat).
So everything failed miserably. As it stands now, I can ONLY enter download mode with the phone and in ODIN MODE. I can connect phone to PC and use odin on PC. Can NOT enter recovery mode, it fails and shuts down the device. Only download mode through vol.down+home+power button.
I just want to be able to use my phone, so can someone explain step-by-step what I need to do to get my phone working again? Full reset or anything like that doesn't matter, I have backup, I just want the phone to work again.
It says on the screen (Downloading... Do not turn off target!!) with an android logo.

Is "Set Warranty Bit : kernel" the brick message of death?

Hi all,
Smg900p Sprint s5 had the new CM13 nightly and seemingly out of nowhere it rebooted to "Set Warranty Bit : kernel"
When I switch to download mode this is my screen:
ODIN MODE
PRODUCT NAME:SM-G900P
CURRENT BINARY: Custom
SYSTEM STATUS: Custom
REACTIVATION LOCK: OFF
KNOX WARRANTY VOID: Ox1 (4)
QUALCOM SECUREBOOT: ENABLE (CSB)

The message "SW REV CHECK FAIL : [aboot]Fused 3 > Binary 1" is added to this after I attempt flashing the stock rom with Odin. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
After I installed a custom ROM on my s5, s4 and sm-g350 this message came. I think it's pretty normal.

When I reboot all I get the Samsung Galaxy s5 screen and at the top in those yellow letters "Set Warranty Bit : kernel" and it's stuck there.
Tried deleting everything and flashing stock rom from both RWilco and Sammobile and it doesn't work. I suspect my the bootloader is dead which I'm working on now OR that I tripped the knox security which forced it to lock.
I've seen suggestions on downgrading to 4.4.2 but believe that there isn't a way to download for this model. I've tried Sammobile's version and it doesn't work.
This sucks.
Why don't you try refreshing the bootloader with Odin?

Sorry, I'm not sure I know how to do that. I'm researching and working on the bootloader info right now. Any advice is much appreciated.

Need Latest ROM for Galaxy Note 3 (SM-N9005)

I have Samsung Galaxy Note 3 SM-N9005.
I only have this info about my phone that is written in the above line.. because I bought it in used condition, I don't know whether it is repaired or refurbished.. it was working fine on Android 5.0 (it had some Vodafone apps) then I tried to install 7.1.2 but it failed because I wiped out system before installing.. I gave it to a repairman who installed 4.4 on it and that was not working fine I again tried to install STOCK 5.0 on it through Odin but at last it failed and said "invalid ext4".. now my phone only says " Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again"
Now please please please tell me, what can I do.??? It's a serious problem for me

Stock roms .
updato.com sammobile.com samsung-updates.com
1) Download the latest Odin...I have attached it if you need it...
2) Download this Official Stock Lollipop Rom from HERE...
3) Unzip the above Firmware file...
4) Enter into Download mode (Volum down+Power+Home)...
5) Put the .tar.md5 file which you extracted before into AP of Odin & press Start...
If you get a green PASS message in Odin, you did the right thing...

Stuck in Downloading Mode (Could not do normal boot) ODIN Mode: (High Speed) 0/3 Knox

I tried downloading at least 10 different firmwares from the latest to the original 5.1.1 that was installed on the phone. Either odin freezes or they are corrupted. Is there any hope?
THe short story: Root was a success. Tried to open snapchat, read the whole story on that. Decided lets get the xposed framework. After going through the hassels TWRP and CWM wouldn't let me flash (ready for the stupidness on my part?) so I found another tool that would let me flash (this https://forum.xda-developers.com/xposed/unofficial-xposed-samsung-lollipop-t3180960) and wellI ended up with the downloading screen. It all looks normal here is what it says

I tried using keis firmware upgrade I type in the model and serial but it tells me" the model information that you have entered cannot be verified; the device initialization cannot proceed" there is a space after the main s/n and then a wx but if i try it with or without the space at the end it fails to accept it.
On a totally separate note if i were to buy another phone, could I root that phone remove the bloatware, unroot the phone. Snapchat should work properly then right?
Is it possible to have a brand new phone, copy the firmware from it
on the corrupt phone erase it completely and flash the firmware from the new phone onto it (basically a clone)?
What are terms I would look up to accomplish such a task if it is possible? Or even a guide?
