Verizon Samsung Galaxy S5 SM-G900V: Bricked or Not Bricked?

So I was trying to root my S5 using this method.

I followed the instructions correctly until it prompts you to install a firmware. Since I thought a newer version than 5.0 Lollipop is available why not right? However, as soon as I installed the firmware the phone was stuck on "Samsung Galaxy S5" boot logo. So, I tried booting the phone in recovery but an error popped up saying, "Custom binary blocked by Reactivation Lock". At that moment I was worried that I bricked my phone, so I had to confirm it.
Is this error telling me that I bricked the phone? If so is my phone unusable now?
But if it's not bricked is there any way to fix it?

Bricked Device after flash TWRP recovery

Hi all,
I'm not new in XDA but i'm new in Samsung and yesterday i bricked my device. i own a Samsung Galaxy S8+ G955F
What i did was, first ticked OEM Unlock and USB Debugging in Developer options and then flashed the original TWRP recovery for Galaxy S8+.
After reboot the phone bootloop, i only can go to Download Mode and after that i trigger the Knox too.
If i try to flash an original Samsung rom i solve the problem?
Any help please?
Thx.

Solved by flashing a stock rom.
Sent from my Samsung Galaxy S8+ using XDA Labs

Reflash stock recovery.

Jtag dead phone to life and rewrite IMEI
First of all my phone is the s8+ G955fd, but I am sure that the people that helped me can help most Samsung owners with bricked phones.
My phone ended up being stuck on the first boot screen, I couldn't get into recovery or download mode. I installed TWRP and after that I lost my IMEI numbers( dual sim), so I tried to reflash stock and thats when i became bricked. I searched someone to help and found reference to the Fonefunshop in England. I sent it there and they said that the eMMC chip was bad. I searched for someone who could write to it or put a new one on the motherboard . I found A2Z cellular in Ottawa Canada. They used jtag to restore it to stock and they told me that the Fonefunshop had not opened the phone which is necessary to use jtag as they claimed, so avoid them.
The phone was now back doing everything it should except the IMEI's were null like before. I gave them the original IMEI's and the phone is working like new.
If your Samsung is bricked these guys can probably fix it and it won't cost much to find out.
