Hi, so I am on a Galaxy S5 16gb running lollipop 5.0 through sprint. Im not too in this scene but Ive known enough to successfully root and unroot several other phones without.any problems. I successfully rooted my S5 using Cf auto root and everything was perfect until I tried flashing a .zip file for xposed installer through recovery. Ever since my phone wont go.past the samsung logo on start up. I am able to still access download and recovery mode. Every time on odin I try to flash the stock firmware (ive tried three.different ones) it ends up saying " nand write start fail" then "complete write operation failed". This is stressimg me out hardcore and im completely unsure of what I need to do. Much help needed.

Verizon gs3 will not boot into recovery
Hi, I recently flashed twrp on my verizon gs3. I trieed rebooting into recovery, but it said system software is not authorized by vzw. Every time I tried to boot, it just says this. I have to enter download mode every time I do this to reboot. Why is this happening? I just want to flash cyanogenmod 12.1. Twrp is compatible. Please help! I hate touchwiz
Hi, thank you for using XDA Assit. I don't know for sure on the S3 but many Samsung phones no loner let you flash a custom recovery like twrp or cwm. You most likely will need to return your device to stock using Odin. Please see your device's specific forum for more information here, http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3-verizon I would also look for information on installing custom recoveries in that forum. After you've looked and if you still have questions ask here, http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3-verizon/help

I don't really know why my phone is stuck in a bootloop to begin with. I've tried EVERYTHING I could possibly think of!
Here's What I've tried :
WipeData/Factory Reset and I also wiped Cache.
I tried to use ODIN to flash the original stock ROM to the device but the bootloader is locked so its impossible to flash any ROM to the devices (Even if it's official).
I tried to apply the Lollipop 5.0 update in recovery using a external SD card.
I tried using ADB sideload.
(Bonus points if you can give me away to unlock the bootloader! because i'll know what to do if it's unlocked.)
So...If anyone has suggestions, I'll happily take any!
Also Please! Leave links so I have quick access!

SUCCSESS twrp says, i got to start my phone and it just doesnt its stuck in a bootloop i try to get the stock framework couldnt find 5.1.1 so i tryed 5.0.2 and it just kept saying failed, then i went into twerp and tried to facory reset it and it didnt work so i went into advanced wipe and ticked everything hit restart 'you have no os on this phone' then tried stock firmware through odin and it didnt work again. So any advice

Hi,
Thanks for writing to us at XDA Assist.
Download a stock firmware for your device: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s6/general/stock-firmware-official-stock-firmware-t3086387
And flash it through Odin.
Feel free to post your questions in the General Q&A thread of your device to get further assistance: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s6/help/help-thread-question-s6-t3110220
BTW I do recommend you to read more before flashing stuff on your device.
Good luck!
Hey first time posting on xda devs and would like to know how to unlock bootloader, root the phone, and install custom ROM.
Now I have spent entire day backing up and searching the different people root but if someone can help me and point me in the right direction that would be great.
So I have a S3 from ATT Model: SGH-I747, Version: 4.1.2 JellyBean, BaseBand Version: I747UCDMG2, Kernel: 3.0.31 - 1300972. It is a stock ROM, I have never done anything to the phone at all before.
Now I will admit I followed a youtube video call "How to Root AT&T Galaxy S3 SGH-I747!" by High on Android and I did everything in the video. I used odin v1.85, I did the PDA to the CWM.tar file, phone rebooted and I added the CWM superuser file and that is when I tried to get to CWM recovery mode and all I got was the phone's default recovery mode and not the CWM one.
From what I understand I believe I need to unlock bootloader first, but again this is a my first doing this and I hoping someone can point me in the right direction. Forum post state that you should follow guides that is exactly the same to the phone you would like to install custom ROMs.
Honestly I would like to ultimately be able to install a recovery mode that works with my phone that I am able to create snapshot image of my stock phone in case anything happens or I would like to go back to my stock image (which I highly doubt if everything goes fine) and install a custom ROM (I know there are different ROMs if someone can point me to where I can check out all the custom ROMs and not necessarily install those custom ROMs that would be awesome) and finally get rid of ATT loading screen when booting up the phone and install a custom boot loading screen, but of course I care more about getting the custom ROM install first.
If anyone can help that would be great.
