Hello everyone! I am new and a noob here. I have upgraded to a 5.1.1 Lollipop firmware. My phone was still carrier locked so I started looking up threads on the internet on how to unlock it for free, and came across a kingroot then region unlock solution. I used kingroot then downloaded supersu and installed that. After it finished installing, it said a reboot was necessary so I rebooted. Upon rebooting it said custom in the bootlogo then popped up with a big triangle that said Security Error: This phone has been flashed with unauthorized software & is locked. Call your mobile operator for additional support.
After much tinkering with installing Odin and downloading firmwares, I am still in the same boat. I believe this may be because I (stupidly) enabled reactivation lock because it sounded helpful in case my phone was stolen. This is now locking the firmware down and every time I try to install a stock firmware (4.4.4 or 5.0.2 as these are the only ones available on Sammobile for the SM-G530H) it says r/l enabled cannot install kernel without r/l or something to that effect. That is why I think the reactivation lock is messing me up. It also doesn't help that I upgraded to 5.1.1, as I believe that makes it harder to install a stock firmware, especially an older one.
Thanks for reading and if anyone knows anything that can help, I would greatly appreciate it! Thank you.
bumpity bump bump..
anybody?
this is what happens when you try to replace king user/king root with supersu. same thing happened to me, totally bricked. And I didn't backup first
Never found a way to restore it, so I sent it to samsung and got another one, backed it up, and did king root, and manually switched to supersu.

how did you send it to them and they fix it? i figure they wouldn't help because it was a user error in which you tried to flash which voids warranty or whatever /:
I fixed these phone all day for the same exact problem. Call me 347-210-8466 and I will tell you where to ship the phone and have it repair and shipped back to you in 24hr. For only $45.00 return ship is free.
No need to pay to get phone fixed. Follow this post. Somewhere along the flash, it will display message that kies is not compatible with phone, click ok and it will finish flashing. I just did this yesterday on my son's phone.

Hey, I have the G530AZ my phone works normally with a few exceptions. I can NOT update SuperSU I have a Custom Status due to Rooting with Odin with G530H. I used an app and now when I reboot or power my phone on I have to reboot a 2nd time from the recovery screen. If I plug my phone in it powers up and the same thing happens if I update using Kies3 in the mentioned post will it work and be okay?

I'm thinking your issue is with the kernel not recognizing the firmware. You need to flash the original kernel for the G530AZ.
You may be able to use the file I have linked for the G530A in this thread. http://forum.xda-developers.com/grand-prime/general/att-samsung-galaxy-prime-sm-g530a-links-t3283066

Yes and No.. You have to be able to boot to use Keis ...
Though it is actually preferred to use the original Cricket software for the G530AZ.

The procedure I posted above will flash your phone back to pure stock, like it would be out of the box. Only thing would be, that it flashes the most current update. When I got the phone, it was already on 5.1.1 and this is what Kies downloaded and flashed.

Yes, comprehensive instructions would be good to have, which files go in what slots in Odin. I have used Odin before, but with a single file. Been so long since I have used it though.

I believe the problem is that people are flashing firmwares for the incorrect model. If I am understanding correctly, this is a thread for the Cricket Wireless version of the Grand Prime, model SM-G530AZ. If you are flashing firmwares for the 530H, you are bound to have problems.
Here is a link for both the KitKat and Lollipop stock firmwares for the G530AZ. Hope it helps.

there are 2 possibilities about flashing g900f firmware on your g900v:
1) it will refuse to flash
2) you will hardbrick
as I said earlier, please flash this to check whether your bootloader is locked or unlocked.

The G900F has an unlocked bootloader - the G900V does not. If it does flash, you can root if you want. If it doesn't flash - all your stuff will still be there.
By the way - there is no such thing as too many questions

I would NOT attempt to unlock the bootloader, just use FlashFire, unless you want AOSP. Try flashing a G900F rom on yours. I don't see why it would not work

I seen your post that your gonna try that app, which is fine.
But to answer your question, No, you do not need root to flash a stock firmware. You use a program Odin.
Now this all depends on if the 910A model has odin tar files available. I'm unsure of this.
If that app don't work and you need help with this, just let me know.

OK so I've looked into my options. And I guess I wanted to do the Odin way. The problem is the volume down button on my note 4 is not working properly. It does not want to engage. As I've looked into the Odin tutorials here on xda, it seems it is needed after flashing. Coz it is needed to wipe data cache once it goes stuck in bootloop.
Now for the stock firmware. Seems like I'm out of luck coz there is no available stock firmware on Samsung update and sammobile for my sm-n910a. Gosh don't know what to do now. I'm lost. I appreciate your help and advice. If you have any other ideas. Please do tell me.

Have you checked over at the AT&T thread
Odin download mode won´t give me the green android bot background, anymore. I hear the boot up sound, but no screen of saying Galaxy Tab 4 powered by Android. It doesn´t say the battery life anymore in TWRP. Is there any fix to this? If I can´t get this fixed, Rest In Piece of the new CM builds that´s coming for this device within under a month or so (that I am making).
Try to reinstall the android stock, blindly, as if odin would work, ie restart in download mode (even if you do not see anything) and install the original rom

Mmmm my advice is to install twrp, restart in recovery mode, do all wipes, system, data, cache, all, restart in download mode (the twrp gives you the option to start in download mode) and reinstall the firmware again

I can not think of anything, since the boot image (the samsung logo) is a file that comes within the firmware stock, as that can affect the development of CM?

Good luck hope you have helped
I have a SM-G900W8 boot-looping device, none of HOME firmwares could have helped me to amend the phone.
The device is still bootlooping, and I was told there was a FIRMWARE firmware which consists of 4 files, it's usually being called the service firmware as well.
This firmware could help me to stop the bootlooping process.
I've been searching this kind of firmware here, then i've checked out 3 different firmwares at fw.updato.com, but none of them are service.
Could anyone please tell me if is it possible to find the certain service firmware?
Service firmware will wipe data and cache partitions in your phone, this is the difference.
You can try to do it by yourself from recovery.
Wiping cache partition only should help if it's a software problem.
Or try to use samfirm tool to download the latest service firmware for your phone.
You'll have to enter your phone's model, CSC and tick "Binary nature".
Samfirm tool points me to fw.updato.com, which has been used already. I downloaded 3 firmwares and none of them suites me.

I wish i knew it. I do not know where the phone came from, i just know the model code. Neither the firmware it was bought with, nor what exactly happened.
Only odin mode is bootable. Nothing else is.

This is a canadian model, but i am in Russia. So any provider would suite me, because Im gonna flash TWRP after I'll be able to boot to recovery.

I don't have this variant but, the following links are great places to grab the G900W8 Stock Firmware from.
https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/galaxy-s5/sm-g900w8/
https://updato.com/firmware-archive-select-model?exact=1&q=sm-g900w8
http://samsung-updates.com/device/?id=sm-g900w8
The following link is from the Androidfilehost site where an individual had uploaded one of them as well.

I've already downloaded the firmware, dont need it anymore. Thank you.
I flashed the phone, but unfortunately, there was no any luck.
The phone still keeps trying to boot into recovery, and reboots.
Have no idea how to make it work again.
Anyways, thank you for you support!

Hmm, suspected something like that... I'm afraid, this is a HW problem.
Defecitve emmc chip is an often problem for S5.
In this case your best bet is to swap the motherboard.
