Hi mates, thank you!
Briefly the story is that I bought an import S5 G900P with LL 5.0, I updated bootloader to MM and flashed MM, works without baseband, flashed stock 5.0 OK4 (G900PVPU3BOK4_G900PSPT3BOK4_G900PVPU3BOK4_HOME.tar.md5) and baseband (network signal call+data+sms) worked, then I flashed over it the Ressurection Remix 5.8.5, baseband worked but after 3-4 hours I got a hard brick with black screen. Somehow I booted in download mode and flashed again succesfully the Stock LL5.0 but screen keeps black.
I'm with a new phone (under warranty, next day after bought, they kindly replaceded it) with LL5.0, I'm afraid to flash over it the TWRP+RR5.8.5 and get a new brick, can someone expert please suggest me a bootloader which can be considered safe?
Thank you!
solved with some pain, needed to pit the phone and flash the stock MM, then boot to check the baseband, then flash twrp and RR+gapps. All info here:

This is a pretty simple question so please take 10 SECONDS out of your time if possible to give me an answer
So, if I flash the latest bootloader N910F COK2 (to install Kyubi ROM V6), am I going to be able to downgrade to an older bootloader, to try dr.ketans ROM for example (needs N910F OI3 bootloader)?
It should work.
I tried out COK2 a few days ago and there was a WIFI problem in that Rom i used, so i downgraded the Bootloader to COI3 and then i restored the backup of the system with the recovery

Try Flashing stock firmware from Odin it may help you

I think it is the only way to get his phone back

A few nights ago, I flashed CM14 with Nougat on my SM-N910C. Unfortunately, ever since the flash finished, my phone stopped reading any SIM cards. The baseband and IMEI both read "unknown" in the settings. Is there any way to return these? I'm okay with anything as long as it ends up making my phone usable again.
I'm not an expert at this, so please explain stuff your help is appreciated, thanks!
Bump! Please help me out!! Any tips appreciated

Did you made efs backup from twrp before flashing rom ?
If you have efs back up then restore it.
If not then Try flash stock 6.0.1 firmware via odin and do factory reset from stock recovery after flash.

The stock ROM flash worked!! Thank you
Hi all. Long story short, trying to fix this phone up for a relative. I used the bootloader unlock to unlock it (it's a VZW variant). After, I flashed a CM14 nightly build. Shortly after, I purchased a new phone and it basically got put away in early 2016 if I remember correctly.
Well, yesterday, I tried wiping and flashing a rom called SkiesROM to it, which failed to boot after the AROMA setup. After, I tried flashing a QA1 stock rooted ROM which has also failed to boot and won't do anything except boot loop when it gets to the red verizon logo.
In short, I want to figure out how to get this phone working again on ANY Android version with TWRP. I don't know what version of firmware I'm on now. I don't know what bootloader version it is now. All I know is that I can access TWRP when I want to. I assume that gives me an edge in flashing whatever I need to flash on it.
I forgot that I needed to be on certain levels of firmware to change ROMs on this phone, so I think that's where I messed up and now I don't know how to backtrack and get into any working ROM. Can someone help me please?
TL;DR: I can get into TWRP. I don't know what firmware or bootloader version this thing is on. It's a VZW variant that I bootloader unlocked but I don't know if it's still bootloader unlocked. I want to boot this thing on any stable ROM even if it's a stock one. Please help me.
You can flash latest rom at https://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-galaxy-s5/general/update-qi2-t3688046 with Odin and then reflash TWRP with Odin. Just make sure you flash the Dev Friendly version of the Rom so you don't lose your unlocked boot loader status.
If you can eat to recovery did you not back up your current ROM? Always back up always I bricked S7 before lol learned my lesson on that one but now on s5 mini so playing around is great but any more help you need if I can help mm
hi ! Please need help. Firstly I was on custom rom. Then I flashed stock fast boot rom sucessfully & then I got the update of android 8.1 if upadted my software to 8.1 . After two days I revert back to custom roms . Now I just wants to go back to stock so i flashed the earlier version of stock rom but i ****ed up my device now its not booting up on bootloader mode is showing. what to to now? i m from india.
Which custom rom u were on?
Which version did u downgrade to?
Did u take entire backup (efs and persist) before flashing custom rom?
For temporary solution : Try selecting "start" in bootloader?

Is your bootloader is working or it get stucks on bootloader image.
You downgraded your bootloader. (I suppose)
"Now I just wants to go back to stock so i flashed the earlier version of stock rom"
Well... That's bad.
"my device now its not booting up on bootloader mode is showing."
What is it showing? Is it showing the bootloader? What version?
(Do you know how to check that? Please use a translator if English is not your main language or something.)
"After two days I revert back to custom roms."
Better act more decisively next time. That cost your device a potential brick.
Thanks guys i recovered my device by just pressing restart.
