Is my device bricked? (Help out a complete noob here) - Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I tried to factory reset my S5 but when it went for the restart it says:
Recovery booting...
SYS REV CHECK FAIL(K) : No version
Secure : SECURE VERSION failure (recovery.img)
then
SECURE FAIL: RECOVERY
with Start up Failed screen and a prompt text to use the software repair assistant.
As you can see i while back i tried to flash it to newer OS but i remember i just couldn't manage to install the custom recovery so i dropped it. Now it's come back to bite me in the ass, what do i do? Please help me out.
It's a SM-G900V

What happens when you use the software repair assistant?

[RECOVERY FAILED TO FLASH] please help! Please!

Hai all! Thank you for reading!
God knows how many hours I'm loosing around this stupid problem: I've a G900F @ lollipop 5.0, I poot in download mode, connect ODIN, all is ok. It uploads and phone says SECURE CHECK FAIL: recovery.
Yes, yes, I've USB debug turned on, and as well the Samsung Reactivation Lock is unchecked! I also tried to check it (need to register to samsung) to then uncheck it.
Somewhere I read to "enable OEM unlock" in settings, but I can't find this setting anywhere!
I can't install ANYTHING under boot loader, everytime I've a fail.
CURRENT BINARY: Samsung official
SYSTEM STATUS: official
REACTIVATION LOCK (KK): OFF
SECURE DOWNLOAD: ENABLE
UDC START
SECURE CHECK FAIL: recovery
I tried flash CWM, TWRP, different options, the phone simply doesn't want to accept the recovery!
What can I do? I'm really pissed off, I also tried to install TWRP from phone by rooting it, may applications around and all of them failed!
Help please, help me!! Thank you
help please, I can't understand why the phone behaves in such way!
booting in samsung recovery I tried also to wipe cache and data, then after reconfiguration tried again to flash with odin, nothing
can the problem be connected to THE missing RSA pop up where it ask to always allow this computer? I can't see that popup! Damn I'm becoming mad.. why so complicated!
may chances are that the firmware 3.4.0 inside has been modified/uploaded to avoid any update?
Go to cwm recovery mount and stored format data/media sdcard NOT extsdcard and try flash again tq.
thanks for answer, already did, the phone booted up and asked all the silly questions after first boot. Tried again after but nothing changed. I'm stuck in a big small issue..

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Whatdo i do with the file? Flash it with odin and then? Do i flash a new rom after it?
i tried to flash it again and used that PIT file but still the same result any other suggestions? Or is my phone ready for the recycle bin? :crying:
Flash it whit the rom
Does it say G900F in download mode?
Odin mode
Product Name : SM-G900F
Current binary : Samsung official
System status : Custom
Reactivation lock (KK) : Off
Knox waranty void : 0x1 (2)
Qualcomm secureboot : Enable (CSB)
Ap survey : S1, T1, A1, A1, P1
Secure download : Enable
UDC start
Thats what it says ...
Sounds like something in DATA is corrupted, which ODIN does not wipe
So flashing ROMs with ODIN won't fix it, you need to wipe the phone
Almost the same thing was happening with another member the other day, using ODIN option "Nand erase all" while flashing the ROM to wipe the phone, and then using KIES3 to recover the firmware was their fix
After Nand erase all, the phone would only enter download mode, KIES3 fixed that with the firmware recovery process

Or you could try flashing TWRP with ODIN, and see if you can get into TWRP recovery first, factory reset from there
I tried to put TWRP on my S5 with odin but that didn't work ...
Now i just flashed the phone with a new rom and with "Nand erase all" ticked and then do a firmware upgrade with "Kies" but unfortunately that didn't worked either :crying:
any other suggestions?
In ODIN, uncheck "Auto reboot"
Flash TWRP
When it completes disconnect USB and remove battery to power off
Replace battery and immediately boot into recovery
Volume Up & Home & Power
ANd you need to add more details other than "It didn't work" or we can't help
Ok i did what you suggested and at first it starts up with this on the screen :
Recovery booting .... (in blue letters)
Set warranty bit: recovery (in yellow letters)
then it just reboots without this text on it but it just keeps rebooting ... i dont get to see any thing else but the samsung galaxy s5 powered by android screen ...
And what does KIES firmware recovery say?
With the kies program i get thesame result ... it just stucks in the bootloop ...
No, what does KIES say when you run the firmware recovery?
I'm going to leave you to it, can't help you when you just keep repeating the same thing "Doesn't work"
Im not home at the moment,i will give it another go when im at home and tell you what it sayw
Ok, i opened Kies and searched for that emergency recovery firmware that you talked about but i don't see a option to select my phone??
Here is a printscreen from kies and my phone connected i download mode ...

Ok, you may close this topic, i brought the s5 to a repairshop and they are gonna check what the could do ... possible even necessary to replace the touchscreen and lcd according to the salesmen :s

Samsung Galaxy A40 bricked

Hey I wish you a nice evening!
My Samsung Galaxy A40 does not boot, it is stuck on the Samsung Galaxy A40 Secured by Knox powered by Android Screen.
After some time it comes to the android recovery, but unfortunately it is OEM locked and I think USB debugging is disabled.
I tried the following things anyway:
wipe cache and factory reset
adb sideload (only this mode is available) with the original firmware results in "Error 21 Signature verification failed"
And from download mode I tried:
flash the original software (android 9, 10, 11) till I am at bios version 4 and can't get back --> result: only erasing data is shown, I did not get any further
flash twrp --> forbidden by OEM lock
I don't know any further, my next step would be to replace the motherboard, but if you have any idea that could solve the problem, please add a comment.
And as time passed I also tried Samsung SmartSwitch to fix the software, but it failed too.
In my opinion it is maybe a hardware fault..
Thank you very much
In the attachment you can find some images of my failed tries
