Bricked Galaxy S5 Canadian Version G900W8 - Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So I've installed a custom ROM on this phone about 2 years ago. It's my girlfriends phone.
Every once in a while when she turns her phone on it would go into a boot loop several times, and eventually go into the system and function normally. It was very intermittent, but it wasn't a big deal. Yesterday the phone was stuck in a permanent boot loop. What was interesting is that i could not enter into a Recovery Mode, just download mode.
So i figured it was time to just simply flash the original stock ROM.
ODIN 3.12.7
ROM: FMC-G900W8VLS1DPF3-20160725152930 (Canadian Koodo Android 6.0.1)
Flash was completely successful (I've flashed and unbricked many phones so I am very familiar with the process). This is the ODIN log file

Phone restarts with blue Recovery Booting message and is stuck in a boot loop again. Boot loop is always trying to go Into Recovery Mode (just like previously before flash). I know that flash was successful because I no longer have the yellow Warranty Bit message i did when custom ROM was installed, So then i figured maybe i need the PIT file. I found a pit file SM-G900W8_pit_16GB.
I've then re-flashed again with this PIT file (Auto-reboot, re-partition, and F. Reset Time checked) and got an error message

I don't know what else to do. The phone has been dropped quite a few times which is obvious by its appearance. Does anybody have any suggestions?

Help guys coz I need phone to work
I f****d my phone like this one time...
It is because you tried to install Android 4.3 (I know MK8 is JellyBean) when you have the phone partioned on KK.
Try to reconnect the phone and somehow install that .pit file. It is very important. You can try more of those files, I've seen 2 or 3 .pits for i9505 on XDA.
After that, do not try to install the firmware again because it won't work. Instead, download the .tar or .tar.md5 of PhilZ Recovery or TWRP. You should be able to flash them. If it succeded, now you will be able to acces the custom recovery and install a ROM again (i suggest you something closer to the stock KK to set things up, and then you can search for another Lollipop rom).
I hope it'll work!

[Q] Bricked VZW S4 - Odin Fail! (Auth)

So I tried rooting my girlfriends VZW S4. I got booted into Safestrap recovery and tried installing a custom ROM... every rom I had failed. So I just wiped the cache, still didn't work. Now I reboot the phone and im stuck at the "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again."

Someone help
says SW REV. CHECK FAIL : fused : 6 , binary : 5 on the phone after odin fails.
Tried a bunch of things, nothing yet.
EDIT:

found a stock one that is actually working.... so far so good
The reason why it doesn't work is because you are flashing old firmwares. You can't flash 4.2.2 and 4.3 once you are on 4.4.2. You can only flash 4.4.2.

Now that I am on 4.4.2, is this phone stuck with that? I managed to get safestrap on it, but I still cannot install any custom ROMs on it. Tried partitioning a new piece and installing cyanogen on there, no luck, just bootloops... this is a headache!

No, this is the result of "play" with a SAMSUNG device :highfive:
My s3 took 5 min to install cyanogen lol. Womp womp

Yes but my guess is your s3 isn't a Verizon version.
ps I don't think CM works on your version. I think you can only flash custom roms that match your kernel.

[Q] Help - Bricked S4 i9505

Hi guys,
I rooted my phone(GT-i9505) a few days ago and unlike previous phones I began to have troubles where the phone would reset randomly and freeze, so I thought tonight I would unroot it using Odin. It went through the motions of whatever it needed to do and showed this message

For some reason or another I can restart the phone into download mode but if I try to get it into recovery mode for example it just shows me a screen with a yellow triangle saying "Firmware update encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies and try again."
But Kies wont recognize my phone?
I have tried to repeat the proces, choosing to use a separate PIT file, I have selected different options eg. Selected/Unselected re-partiton and Auto reboot. Nothing has worked so far?
Im really stuck on this one. Any help would be appreciated thanks

[Q] Botched Downgrade with Odin (Galaxy S5 SM-G900A)

I managed to soft brick my Galaxy S5 from AT&T and this happened when I was trying to downgrade to 4.4.2 Kitkat so that I could root it, and i have basically created a bootloop to where every time I shut it down and start it up, all I get is the "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Pleases select recovery mode in Kies & try again) the only problem is that Kies isn't connecting my phone and I've tried both versions of Kies. Kies and it's processes are killed when I use odin. I can still use Download mode, but I really need to get my phone to at least boot up again. All the data was wiped so I don't care about getting it back, but I just really need some help. The Odin text that I keep getting is:

I restarted my phone and it went into FRP lock. I can only access download mode and do not have access to recovery. I have tried downloading stock firmware using Odin but it fails every time. When ever I download something from Odin I get this

and then in my phone it says "secure fail check : (Bootloader)"
Any suggestions on how I can get into my phone!?
Try using Samsung smartswitch while phone is in download mode and use the reinstall feature and see if that cannot help you get back to stock (and a working phone)
I have SM G928F , had same problem. I downgraded the bootloader and succeeded in putting new recovery on my phone and then flashed custom Rom….
Hope this helps.

Hello everyone, mazzie66 could you please explain how you downgraded your bootloader. Thanx
s6 edge+ bricked by frp
I bought second hand s6 edge + g928f blocked google account.
i have the imei and s / n number but i do not know what firmware it had on it.
now it's just download mode or recovery.
I flashed 3-4 firmware stock successfully, but it gets into recovery when it opens.
I used odin / z3x.
I have edited the firmware and combined them with boot / modem / sboot / hidden etc.
I searched in vain how I could learn the former firmware version.
with the smart switch after entering the model and telling her to contact the service center. with kies the same. i just know it is 7.0 encoded vodafone romania.
I've had some bugs with drk.
I would like to ask you how to install a custom rom (twrp) or pass frp lock.
Sorry for English.
This video can help to fix the black, bricked Samsung Galaxy phone, wish helpful with you.
