Picture of bootloader to spot a fake one - Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I need help!!!
Previously I have purchased S5 phones which were on lollipop. So when I used to boot them up by holding volume up+home+power button, the bootloader would show me information about model number and Knox warranty, knox kernel etc.
Today I went to buy an S5 which had MarshMallow. I booted up in odin mode, and the recovery looked very similar to TWRP. Also there was no mention of Knox anywhere.
Can someone post a picture of 6.0.1 odin mode (obviously removing sensitive information) so I can get an idea what I am looking for?
It would save me from buying a clone S5

And thats on MM 6.0.1? If yes then I definitely avoided a fake one today. Thank you so much.
At one point I thought I was overthinking it and may be samsung updated interface with MM for Odin Mode but the lack of Knox information really gave it away.

Doesn't change between ROMs, same through KitKat > Lollipop > MarshMallow
Volume Up & Home & Power is recovery though
That screen above is Volume Down & Home & Power for Download mode

This is the way how to unbrick samsung galaxy s
If you have a black screen like the one shown above and you cant boot into recovery and download mode there are three things you need to do:
1. Take Battery out
2. Connect phone to computer
3.Whilst putting battery in press Vol-Down+Power+Home button
This will boot you SGS into download mode and you can just flash a rom with odin
This won't help you if you hardbricked your phone (what usually is defined as not being able to get into download mode at all).
Add "softbrick" in title.

I think Softbrick is the term people use for the state. I had the same problem on Friday night and got a thread by searching for Phone-!-Computer on Google.
To clarify on the OP:
Step 2 is optional IMHO, I attached the phone after I got into download mode.
Also, to explain step 3: Press the three buttons, and keep them pressed while inserting the battery, and and the phone should get into download mode instantly.
Just what i was looking for, but i need the stock firmware for the fascinate sch-i500

Yes. You can.
Download twrp klte version, odin, samsung drivers, and superuser.zip.
Put superuser.zip on internal sd.
Open odin
Connect phone
Put twrp file in pda slot
Hit start
Be ready to hold vol up and home key as phone reboots. (Sometimes twrp wont stick, so you do this to get it to stick).
Flash superuser.zip
Reboot. Tada. Rooted.
Be advised, I do not know what roms work with this phone.
I do not post files, but you can find all you need here on xda. Theres an Odin/twrp package on here i think, and superuser.zip is everywhere. So are the samsung drivers you need.
Just did this to my nieces Straight Talk phone and my sprint S5.
Twrp 3.0.2-1 fixed flashing issues i had on 3.0.2-2 btw.

My Galaxy S5's screen does not show anything, although it normally boot.

I have an issue with my Rooted Galaxy S5 SM-G900H MarshMallow:
I have used it normally before. But yesterday, when i restarted it, it automatically went to Download Mode.
After waiting for a long time in Download Mode, i decided to turn my phone off by removing the battery.
After that i've gotten a BIG ISSUE:
- My phone still boot normally (I can hear the Booting Sound) but nothing appear on screen. "SamSung Galaxy S5" doesn't appear too.
- The "Recent App" Key still light (see the picture) after booting.
- I can't turn off my phone unless i remove the battery.
- I still can get into Download Mode and flash ROM, but nothing appear again !
I've tried to fix it. I've gotten into Download Mode and used Odin to flash stocked MarshMallow ROM successfully, but it hasn't been solved.
Is it a Hardware or Software Issue? In case of Software Issue, How can i fix that? Can i flash Bootloader to fix it?
Please help me!!!
Here're the picture of my phone after booting:

Looks like a serious issue. I do not know what is the reason.

Im stuck in odin mode

I have a G935S, Korean Variant. using Odin3_v3.12.7
SOLVED: flash them 1 by 1
I turned on developers options and OEM unlocked it.
I was trying to get TWRP to flash.
So I booted the device into odin mode, using the power vol down and home button.
Then I pressed powerup.
I got the latest modem and bootloader from the Batman Rom thread according to the most recent dates for nougat (my device is on nougat December patch stock).

The tablet is bricked. After flashing twrp, there should be a message in the top left of the screen about set warranty bit. The picture you posted is missing the yellow text. That's bad. Try putting the tablet in odin download mode by holding the home and volume down button plus power. Then press volume up when prompted. If you can get into odin download mode, reflash the proper twrp and try again.
If you can't get the tablet into odin mode, jtag recovery is the only option, a very complicated procedure.
