Hope someone has some info.
I have recently tried to recover my phone via Odin flash. I'm flashing the GummyCharged 1.9 FE odin file. I've done this SEVERAL times w/ out any problems.
My problem now is that when the Odin flash is complete it shows "Pass" and when I reboot my phone it boots with an old version of CWM (4.0.0.1). Not only that but when I try to "reboot phone" it boot loops back to CWM and will not load ANY for of an OS. I've tried multiple Odin files with no luck. Same thing over and over.
Anyone have any suggestions? I'm used to having to recover my phone from a bricked state... but never had an issue where I push a file to the phone and it will not boot after. Tried wiping data/cache after Odin as well... Still nothing.
I would try going back to stock using Imnuts' stock ROM and PIT file which can be found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1111486
That has always fixed any and all issues I've been having with the phone after messing something up.
EDIT: Here is the stock EE4 ROM http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1172182

Yeah, no doubt. And I was able to do a restore on the Imnuts PBJ OBT kernel from 7/30... my problem started when I installed the new kernel version (from 8/8) and tried to backup/restore. Working perfectly now though!
Having same issue still getting recovery mode
I did a fix sd cardupdate for the rom clocking.
I had gumicharge rom on it
After 4 hours my battery was at 50% so I decided hey i can just load the rom on it again and no problem clean free.
It did not work. I am using odin.
It did not work so I got the pit file from this and it gave my system life and the ed1 file wont download it stalls out and failes i tried using
CI510_VZW_EE4_ALL_ONE-LTE-CP_REV03_user_CL1014954.tar.md5
or
CI510_VZW_EP1F_ALL_ONE-LTE-CP_REV3_user_CL300919_Rooted_Debloated.tar.md5
both do nothing.
My phone just sits there reboots into Manual mode and looks like my blue recovery console.
Clear cache
Upload from SD Card
and clear memory so forth.
Thats all my options.
I am now stuck with phone i cant use or update. I am at work so now i cant use the megaupload since those are blocked by our firewall.
I was able to remote to pc to get a pit file.
At this point i dont know what to do or just do insurance claim on my phone and get another one. I dont know how to fix it now.
I cant read the sd card on any computer to put stuff on it and odin is writing things to it The pit file on this fix did give me a recovery enviroment but nothing on roms are on the sd card.
roms ive tried dont load for automaticaly its just in that manual mode thing with the icon of the little android dude.
it says
Android system recover (3e)
Enter: OK key, select:Vol Up/Vol Down
Reboot system now
apply update from sdcard
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache partition
bewlo it syas #manual mode* and little android guy with eclamation point next to him.
I have tried severla tiems 3 different roms

Not sure if you're going into download mode properly but try this:
open ODIN
add the PIT file in the PIT section
add the EE4 OEM file in the PDA section (do not use the phone section)
leave everything else in ODIN as default except click on "re-partition"
take your battery out of the phone
hold the volume down button & plug in your USB cable (do not let go of the volume down button until you are in download mode)
ODIN should now now show a yellow com port for your phone on top left of ODIN and your phone should display "download mode"
select start
When it's complete ODIN will show in green that it passed. Unplug your phone, put the battery back in & boot
Hope this helps & good luck

don't put the battery in during flash & leave auto reboot checked. Auto reboot will not do anything as there isn't a battery installed... it'll just turn off. Unplug the phone after you flash it & put battery back in & boot

This is pretty much what fixed it for me. DON'T GIVE UP! Trust me, I literally had to try this several times before it booted up. I know its frustrating, trust me, but if you stick with it you can fix the phone.
Each time you're able to get to recovery mode, if you're phone doesn't boot, do like five data wipes and wipe cache. Then Odin the .pit and the EE4 from the link above in the pda field (both at the same time).
Good luck! Stick with it I know you CAN fix this!

I'm sure you're right, these are just the things that I did when I finally got it working.
I got stuck myself last night and odin started to fail every attempt, even with the pit file and following numerous instructions found around the site. I actually thought my phone was bricked for good.
I installed PST lite and selected the PIT and EE4 and selected to repartition. It took longer to do but everything came back up. Then using odin I was able to flash back to the rom I had before.
This was after an hour of trying to fix it as I mentioned and Odin kept failing.
^attempting to reflash via samsung pst lite.
loaded PIT, stock EE4. checked "repartition". when I click download, it starts, but freezes at 9%. RX_TIMEOUT shows on the phone screen.
I'm trying this method b/c Odin is not working. Same thing, just hangs, sez RX_TIMEOUT. (repartition w/ PIT, stock EE4)

Yes. tried both with and without. Just hangs. Can never fully make it through the flash.
Stuck with soft bricked phone.
Waiting for my wife to get home with her PC laptop. Hoping it really is just a platform issue (running ODIN on Mac Boot Camp)

What version of Odin are you using? I'm pretty sure I'm using Odin v. 1.82 or something close to that. Not too sure that it would make the difference. Just a thought.
Also, I had to Odin QUITE a few times to get it back up. I had even run the Odin w/ JUST the .pit file. Thought I read somewhere to run the .pit an UNCHECK the repartition box (I know it says it'll give you an error but I did not get one).
All in all, not too sure what exactly it was that finally got it working. But I eventually ran the .pit and ee4 (both posted in post #2 of this thread). Then when my phone booted up, it looked like the problem remained. I had to get back to work from lunch so I just put the phone in my pocket. Then out of nowhere I heard the boot animation come on.
Just make sure you read through, pretty much, all of the threads that deal w/ this stuff. There is almost always someone that has come across the same problem that you may have and almost always someone who had figured out how to fix it.
Good luck, this CAN be fixed!
Ok so im not a newb to flashing ROMs or kernels and such. Both my roomate have the charge with imoseyon's kernel and DarkChargedTQ ROM. While he was on a business trip his phone reset but wouldnt boot, it would just loop at the samsung screen. So he got home, livid of course becuase of his broken phone so I tried to fix it.
I flashed back EP1W using ODIN which completes properly. THen when it reboots the stock recovery comes up saying that it cant mount /cache. THen if you try to factory reset it says that it cant mount /data. When I reboot I am still in the samsung boot loop.
Please Help, I was the one who flashed his phone and now its broken so im kinda freaking out!
I had a slightly different issue, kept getting the recovery halt when trying to go back to stock, all using the directions here. Nothing worked.
I then discovered this process, and it got my phone booting and stock.

There might be an easier fix for you, but just sharing something that helped me out.
Thanks for the suggestion but thats a no go. Here is a little more detail.
After flashing the recovery fails to load the /cache. So when I try to fatory reset, I get this:
E:failed to mount /data (Invalid Argument)
E:install_application_for_customers: Can't mount /data
your storage not prepared yet, pl,ease use UI menu for format and reboot actions
Anyone ever seen this and can you help me?
Have you tried this?http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1111486
This was the only way I was able to get out of a bootloop condition the very first time I flashed this phone:
http://www.mydroidworld.com/forums/...harge-ee4-full-factory-odin-return-stock.html
You need to download and install SamsungPST
Download the charge.pit file
Download the CI510_VZW_EE4_ALL_ONE-LTE-CP_REV03_user_CL1014954.tar.md5
Next, you pull the battery from your phone, connect the USB cable to your phone and computer. Then, press the volume down button to enter "download" mode. AFTER you have entered download mode you *MUST* put the battery back into the phone. Do not skip this.
So, at this point you should have your phone connected to your computer, in download mode, ready to flash WITH the battery in the phone to provide the extra power it needs during the flash process.
Next, You run the SamsungPST program, load the PIT file in the PIT section, load the .md5 file into the software section below the PIT *AND* you must click the "Repartition" *AND* the "Update Boot" checkbox before you start flashing.
Your phone will reboot after the flash process is complete and you will see some messages on the screen and it will reboot itself again before finally coming up.
BE PATIENT. This process takes a while. It takes more than six minutes to flash the phone AND another ~5 minutes before it boots up on its own. (possibly longer.)
Hopefully this will recover you. The "Repartition" option is very important. Flashing this same ROM with Odin did not work for me when I had to recover my phone. There is something about the SamsungPST program that is somehow more thorough or works better for this type of recovery.
I wrote this down from memory, so the wording might be slightly off, but you should be able to get it.

OK this sounds like it might work as its the only solution I have seen that uses the repartion. I have never delt with this and I may be really stupid right now but where do I get teh charge .pit file?
EDIT: I found a link for the charge.pit in the imnuts thread that was posted a few posts back. Does this file not change with different OS builds?
Have you tried the fix my phone thread in development? ?

I tried the fix my phone thread and it did not work. I have tried flashing just EP1W and flashing it with the .pit in both odin and the SamsungPST and I get teh same errors every time about not being able to mount anything. It seems like I dont have any partitions but I though that using the .pit and checking re=partition should fix the problem???
Ugh my roomate is gonna kill me, anyone have any other suggestions?

PIT isn't supposed to be used with GB roms.. go back to EE4 with the PIT file then boot up to make sure it works right, then Odin the GB rom of your choice by itself and you shouldn't have problems

Using the pit file will take you back to stock EE4. Since there is no official release after EE4 the file wont change. Even if we do get upped to an official OTA of GB you could still use this file to go back to EE4 and then you would get prompted to upgrade to GB.

Correct, Per the suggestions Im going to flash back to EE4 but I just tried and it said the checksum was invalid so im trying to redownload a difffernt one
EDIT: UGH anyone know why the md5 keeps failing or what normall causes that?
No matter what I choose (EE4, ED1, ED2) the md5 fails. Is it safe to just remove the .md5 from the end or is that risky?

Ok didnt really follow everything so just gonna throw some stuff out there. So you are stuck at recovery so you can flash a .zip file? I found ee4 as a .zip file so you could try and do that but that doesnt help if you need to re partition. hmm. Instead of ee4 you could always try a download of ed1 or ed2. Or flash a .tar instead of a .md5. Im a noob also so just trying to help. Since you can odin files can you access your sd card? Can you odin clockwork and then try and load a file from there?
He's stuck system Samsung recovery can't flash from there but yeah flash cmw then flash a rom with kernal I think that should fix it cause when u flash w o kernal Samsung stock over writes cwm if I am not mistaking

Found something else but it was for another phone. Can you take your sd card out. Use and adapter to put in your computer, format it then put .zip file on there and see if it see's it. Ok well probably making things worse so as someone said take it to verizon and get replacement.
---------- Post added at 01:01 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:59 PM ----------
So something similar to this might work?
1. Download Odin, cwm_froyo-odin.zip
2. Extract cwm_froyo-odin.zip, place update.zip on root of SD card
3. Power phone down, remove battery
4. Open Odin, hold volume down and plug in USB to enter download mode
5. Select PDA and place cwm_froyo.tar and flash
6. Upon finish, replace battery, hold both volume buttons down and power on until you enter stock recovery (blue)
7. Apply:update.zip to enter red recovery
honestly thank you everyone for all your suggestions.
Here is where im at now. I was able to finally get an ED1 to flash with the pit file. Phone went through the same process of flashing, then went to samsung recovery and said it couldnt mount things, but it wasnt the same. It was like /dev/... and things of that nature. Factory reset, same thing. NOw when I boot I get bootlooped at the eye, which is better than what I was getting.
I didnt even think about flashing CWM to it and then flashing a rom/kernel. I might try that after I go through this. BUt as it is now the phone shouldnt show any signs of tampering so I may take it to verizon. Ill let everynoe know and THANKS AGAIN I really appreciate everyones help
I have clockwork as a .md5 file . Flash that from odin and then recover from there.
No problem; been in your boat before If we helped hit the thanks button ;-)

I hope there is a way for me to fix this. I am a noob but, I have been successful flashing things a few times in the past (and not so lucky a few times). This time I had flashed my Infuse back to stock 2.2 Froyo UCKD5 after having Zues w/ Aries HellFire running for a couple weeks. I decided to try another ROM because I was bored. Then I screwed something up thinking I knew more than I do. As I was trying to clean things up in my files to get ready to do a back-up,something happened and about half of my apps,factory and 3rd party had no files or ?? They didn't show any MB in cache / data,in TIBU or App Mgr, only "computing...", and obviously things didn't work right. So I hit the phone's Factory Reset,went into Odin3 thinking I would try doing something I never tried before,stupid me, and installed through the PDA button, zimage root tar file, success, saw the Fugu fish and then reset Odin, turned off/ on. Pulled battery from phone, usb jig to download mode, because three button method wasn't working. I thought it had something to do with the residual kernel or bootloader from Zeus. The kernel that was running is 2.6.32.9 and I don't know what that is. Any way I thought I would install KF1 .tar Odin3 installed it but it got stuck on the Samsung power-up screen,black background white Samsung letters. I usb jigged into download mode , thinking maybe I had the wrong drivers possibly and did the Heimdall Zadig driver install, nothing changed. So, I thought that I better just reflash to stock using GTG's Ultimate Unbrick, used the UCKD5 tar and it passed. Then I unplugged the phone when it shut off to reboot, it booted into blue recovery and I hit reboot and it came right back into blue recovery. I am able to get into download mode or into the ever looping blue recovery<3e>,but nothing else. No programs,Odin, Kies, Heimdall,GTG's, recognize the phone,the laptop does and says the device may not work correctly..., but I did notice what the fails were in the recovery boot-up. So I snapped pics with my Captivate and uploaded them and I will paste them here (I think XDA lets idiots like me paste in this area?). they are readable, but if I need to type everything out I can, but not until someone asks so as to keep this already lengthy story a bit shorter.

Did you try clicking flash in Heimdall, sometimes it looks like it doesn't see the phone, but you click flash and it works. Also, have you tried clearing user data and cache? (I know you said you had factory reset at one point but now that you are stuck might be worth a try.) Looks like a boot loader issue, not sure why Heimdall doesn't see the phone, I've had good luck in the past with it.
I'm tempted to tell you to format the internal sd and try heimdall again, but maybe someone with more experience would have a better idea.

There is a BIG difference b/t download mode and recovery.
Thanks, I did clear Data/Cache. I also did format the sd as a last resort but, it didn't help. I don't know if you looked at the screenshots I posted but, it says Checksum Fail and Movinand Checksum Fail. I dont know what either of those are but, willing to bet if someone knows it might be repairable.

Put your phone in download mode. Odin or heimdall back to stock and start over.
Don't worry about anything else as long as you can get into dl mode
Hey, thanks for responding. I know the difference b/t recov. and dload. I am stuck in recovery<3e> blue, it just returns the recovery screen no matter if I press reboot, clear cache, or clear data, or try install zip. But if I usb jig it, it goes into download mode. Thats it. What I have and don't know what or how to fix is during the reboot attempt (you can read it if you click on my screenshots) it says Checksum Fail, Movinand Fail, and lfs undone. I'm gonna try to find out more about those files ( I guess thats what those would be ???) Thanks Bro.

You borked something in the ROM. That's why it won't boot. Files mismatch and don't add up. That's why you're in blue recovery.
You've to get into dl mode and flash a stock ROM img. Then start over.

Just to add this to what qkster said! I know you said you know the difference but be sure to have proper drivers installed I personally used GTG’s Ultimate Unbrick with 100% success. If there is any doubt about bad drivers I would also suggest reinstalling them there is a very easy to use Utility called usbdeview that lets you uninstall drivers and start fresh.
After flashing a volume mod, everything went to hell with my phone(stock rom)I for force closes on chrome/andora and i couldnt use my phone since i keep clicking ok to the fc's notification but they kept coming back.
so i decided to do a factory reset but i dont know what went wrong that now in recovery when i click reboot after the reset it says NO OS INSTALLED DO YOU WANT TO REBOOT?
does this mean i need to flash a new rom or what? I was on the stock rom and i kinda want to go back to that but i dont kno what went wrong
no os probs!

So you can get into recovery? if so did you make a backup before sound mod? I know tdunham was one of the gents that made the sound mod, not sure which one your using created by who? Tdunham has a restore file for volume if problems arise. so if your using his awesome mods you should send him message. If all else fails or you are jus lazy just odin the firmware file required for your phone. Everything will be the same as before jus not rooted so reroot with method you have used not sure when you got phone but I heard towel root doesn't trip knox.

i used a volume mod to remove the high volume notification
im thinking of odin the firmware but i dont want to lose my internal storage.
I cant make a backup because in recovery it tries to save to internal and i dont have space, i cant figure out how to make it go to sd card.

Check your phone firmware first so you know which one to download, do this by going to settings, about phone, then scoll to bottom you should see one of these three firmwares ncb, nd2, ne5, you will want to find firmware file at top in link, if you cant find your firmware there, then go to sammobile.com, then download odin 3.09 from this link, http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...08-2013-odin-3-09-odin-1-85-versions-t2189539.

Oh if u do not have developer options activated while on same screen in settings in about phone click the build section seven times it will make developer options appear, then go into developer options which shows in your settings now and activate usb debugging, you this so u can interface with odin, and oh yeah our phones need to be in download mode to flash firmware, assuming u used towel root since u havent used odin yet?!?! You can get into download mode by pressing and holding volume down, home button and power button. Let me know bro!

well i cant boot phone so i cant check what firmware since recovery says no OS installed.
what is driving me crazy is my pc recognizes the phone but odin doesnt
i plug in phone the driver installs but then i get a message with modem failed intallation WTF?
this is the same pc i used to root
is there a way to do this WITHOUT using pc for example downloading a flashable file and do this all through recovery
also when i am in recovery and i press system boot i get a message that says YOUR DEVICE DOES NOT APPEAR TO BE ROOTED INSTALL SUPER SU SWIEPE TO INSTALL??
wtf happend , all i did was factory reset after a bad volume mod
im coming from an evo 4g and it seemed way simpler than this

Okay so u have no nandroids??? If not check the box your s5 came in they usually have the firmware it comes with printed on box. If you dont have that either, i would to jus download ne5 which the most recent firmware has new modem, still rootable, and it will put os back on your phone. After you do this make nandroid! They are your best friend!!!! Oh yeah odin isnt recognizing your phone because on samsung phones there is a download mode, with phone turned off, press volume down home button, and power all at same time keep holding till download mode iniates. It will say like loading custom os blah blah...press up on volume and presto odin is recognizing your phone.

As far as making your computer fully recognize and through ODIN(hope u pressed up button once in download mode makes odin recognize!) I would uninstall those old drivers, type into google s5 samsung drivers, prob doesnt mean a hoot but to just to be extra precise, download install new ones. Maybe try different odin 3.07 ....and when u run odin make sure u are extracting package if zip and right click program once extracted and run a administrator. No need to touch any settings once in ODIN besides loading firmware. Fell asleeo sorry for late response.
Download and install cnexus stock rom from the dev section. That should get you running again.
Do you have twrp? Sounds like you wiped the system instead of doing a factory reset.

I will try to uninstall everything and delete samsung registry keys as i saw something in google that it might help.

Hit thanks by accident. Yes it should work although I haven't done it on the S5. Once you get a computer working you can use odin 3.09 and flash my full tar no data file. This will get you up to full NE5 without wiping data.

It depends on where you are now. If you are ND2 now then by flashing the Rom (system) you are only bringing your system up to NE5. To get all of the other firmware up to NE5 you need to do it with Odin on a computer. Because some of the firmware won't update using Mobile Odin.
If you are already on NE5 then you don't need to do anything else after installing the rom from recovery.

This may sound stupid, but at the expense of stating the obvious, are you using the original usb charger cable that came with your phone to connect to your pc. If not, you should. I had this problem 2 phone generations ago, I thought I had bricked my phone. Use the original cable. All other usb cables are a Crap shoot.

I was running the NKD Odexed ROM, and out of nowhere my phone just froze up and eventually went to Upload Mode where I was able to see that my Modem Crashed. When I pulled the batter and restarted my phone, I had no mobile service, and my Baseband and Software information both say Unknown. I cannot reboot into recovery, it just keeps bootlooping . I was able to flash the NK4 full restore, but when that loads up, even though it shows the LTE icon, my mobile data network status is set to disconnected. I also cannot boot to recovery from NK4 or any 4.4 bootloader to restore a backup. Any help would be incredibly appreciated. I'll be more than happy to buy some beers for anybody who can help me with this. Sprint is unable to help me on their end.
Edit: I should also note that I've tried Odin'ing the NKD modem several times when I am on android L, and the NK4 when on 4.4, neither do a thing to help.

I had almost the same problem yesterday and was able to restore my backup this morning.
Here's the steps I took:
1. Using Odin 3.10.0
2. Make sure your phone is completely off (battery pull if necessary).
3. Go into Download Mode (Volume Down, Home, Power), then Volume UP
4. Plug phone via USB to computer, run Odin. Make sure you have a blue ID:COM light in Odin.
5. Uncheck Auto-Reboot.
6. Odin either NE5 firmware or NK4 firmware (depending on what your nanoid was).
7. Wait till Odin gives you a PASS, unplug USB and immediately go into Recovery (Volume UP, Home, Power).
8. Restore your nanoid and reboot.
This is assuming you have an extSD card and your nanoid is on it. If you don't you'll need to get one. If you don't have a nanoid, copy the rom you want to flash onto extSD and replace step 8.
Edit: FYI, the firmware files include the modem and TWRP recovery.
Edit: My reading skills are a little slow today, if you prefer the firmware with Philz, here's NE5 and NK4 firmware with Philz.

Unfortunately, I can't count how many times I've tried this, both the firmware with TWRP, and firmware with Philz, my recovery will not boot. I get RECOVERY BOOTING.... in blue, RECOVERY IS NOT SEANDROID ENFORCING in red and Set Warranty Bit : recovery in yellow. This lasts about 30 seconds, and then it reboots to the same thing. The only way to get out of the recovery bootloop is to flash a firmware and not try to boot into recovery after, but then stuck with my modemless problem .
I can't even just go back Stock everything because I won't have service, my phone is basically a paperweight at this time.

It just seems to me that if you can get into Download Mode, it should be solvable. @tdunham, do you have anything to add that I didn't cover?
Try to do a phone reset with ##786# from the dialer. It's possible the phone cant authenticate with the network and that is why you're not getting signal.
I think this wipes internal storage but its worth a try to begin.
Next...
Pull the SD and the Sprint sim card.
Odin custom recovery and wipe absolutely everything including internal storage.
Power off the phone again, either from the recovery menu or battery pull.
Reinsert the sim card only, no SDcard, and do FULL factory Odin tar install, not the mini-bootloaders.
Let the rom boot fully but skip logging into Google and anything else and go straight into settings/backup and reset/factory reset.
Reboot again and see how it goes.
As a last resort you can try to re-pit (repartition) the phone but lets see how it goes from here.

I pulled the SD and Sim Card, and odin'd a custom recovery, but I cannot reach a custom recovery, just goes through the RECOVERY BOOTING.... boot loop explained in the OP. From there I've already done everything else close to 50 times now it just doesn't work.
When you go into settings/backup and restore/factory reset it's supposed to do something on it's own, mine just goes to recovery (ONLY IF STOCK RECOVERY IS INSTALLED OTHERWISE IT RECOVERY BOOTLOOPS) and the android guy falls over. It does not do the reset, I have to manually do it from stock recovery, but it doesn't seem to be helping.
Also, ##786# doesn't do anything. Neither does ##72786# as the Sprint rep was suggesting. My dialer (for one is lagging to all hell along with my keyboard) does not react, it just continues to show that #. This is on 100% stock too.

It sounds like you corrupted your efs but I cant say for sure because I haven't seen it happen too often. You can always try to flash pit through odin and repartition. I'll attach the pit file in a zip so you can try it.
It seems like I would be more likely to have luck on Android L because at least when I flash that I have a phone that somewhat functions, I am missing a modem, and can not get one to stick at all, but I can at least connect to wifi, log into gmail accounts and do anything else. Where as on a stock 4.4 refresh I have a sick lag, it shows I have a modem but I am not provisioned for data, and sprint support is no help. They want me to bring my phone to a tech which is not something I am looking to do knowing I tripped the KNOX flag.

I odin'd that pit and tried to start fresh, no luck. I can't thank you guys enough for your continued effort
Edit: I am reading this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2610757
I have never used the Nand Erase All or Phone EFS Clear options in Odin, but this seems like it might help?
2nd Edit: After flashing the PIT file with NE5 stock rom I achieved data. Now I have an incredibly laggy stock rom, which might just have to do for now, because I still can't get to a custom recovery.
I did not use Nand Erase All or Phone EFS Clear, but am still very interested.
Realized a new issue today. My phone will only charge when off. Still open to suggestions.
Im haveing the exact same issue you are and no clue what to do about it.
Wow I must be lucky all I did was a battery pull and my phone worked again (back when I was on moar 5.0) (i haven't encountered it on moar 6.1)

I don't think you are haveing the same issues we are.
I had similar happen to me and the only thing that fixed it was to go back to the first stock, ND2 I think and work my way back up. It happened to me on NKD also, not sure if it was the same exact thing but sounds close. IIRC after flashing back to the first stock ROM thing started working but prior to that I Odin flashed every package that came with a pit file.

I had similar happen to me and the only thing that fixed it was to go back to the first stock, ND2 I think and work my way back up. It happened to me on NKD also, not sure if it was the same exact thing but sounds close.

well back when i had the issue id randomly take out my phone from my pocket and see it stuck on a screen that said upload mode modem crashed
lets hope that there isnt a second issue out there as well
back then it was a 50/50 shot doing a battery pull and getting the phone to boot
sometimes even while i had charge i would have to plug phone into a power supply and then try turning it on
but regardless i wish you guys best of luck

Downgrade on the sprint s5 is possible with Odin, no negative side effects. FWIW theres a few threads around too that back this statement.
