[Completed] S.O.S. for bricked galaxy S5

Here is the thing. I have a rooted T-Mobile Galaxy S5 (SM-G900T) and i accidentally bricked it a few hours ago.
I have been looking all over the internet for a way to unbrick it and found some guides. They all gave me a link to SamMobile so i could download the firmware but unfortunately the stock firmware I downloaded from SamMobile.com was corrupted and it took 2 hours to download.
The phone bricked because i managed to fill up the 12gb of memory it has and went into recovery to factory reset it. (I tend to factory reset all my phones from time to time). When i was about to hit factory reset i accidentally touched the button for installing a different ROM. I then proceeded without reading the warning :----)
Now. The phone can go into recovery and download mode normally. But it stays fixed in the Samsung Logo when booting.
Im going to use Odin to reinstall the stock firmware but since im a newbie at this i REALLY need an expert's advice on this. Any help will be apreciated
-Ps. Im desperate. It's my only tool (besides the old and slow emachine im typing on right now) that i use for school projects and reports, i cant afford to lose it now.
thanks in advance

[Completed] [Q] CAN ANYONE PLEASE HELP? LG G2 D800 having SERIOUS ISSUES/PROBLEMS

Hello all. I am a relatively new member to XDA and I have actually posted this issue on the thread to from which I downloaded the custom ROM I'm running. I am using and LG G2 D800 running [ROM][5.0][CM12][UNOFFICIAL][ALL-VARIANTS] CyanogenMod 12.0 For The LG G2, which I installed about a month ago. I originally rooted my phone using towelroot and installed TWRP custom recovery 2.7.0.0. I installed 3 or 4 other custom ROMS, using just my phone, that I honestly had no idea how to root using a computer. Since, then I have learned and acquired the tools I need to root from my computer, and after trying for quite some time, was able to find drivers for my phone that allowed my computer to recognized it.
There are 2 main problems that arose about a day after installing this ROM.
Firstly, after I had installed all of the pertinent files needed to flash the above ROM, I attempted to install the beta version of SU that the thread related to the above ROM said was necessary to keep root. Well, that version did not install correctly, though the ROM did install and is working about as well as an experimental version of a ROM can....
Once the ROM had been running for about a day or so, I realized how buggy it was and decided that it would be smart to go back to a more stable ROM as Lollipop was just around the corner(Or at least a stable CM12).
So, I went to go back into my TWRP custom recovery to do a wipe then install another ROM that I had backed up. When I attempted to do this, I realized the 2nd BIG PROBLEM, my phone had stopped recognizing my internal sd card, so I was unable to view any Backups I had previously saved. So, I started researching and found the the adb shell code to get my phone to recognize my sd card, but when I tried to use the command to do so, I was given the reply that su(part of the command) could not be found. So, I posted again, and was told,"you need to re-root." Well, that is good and well, but I have tried every method I can find to root my phone from my PC, but they are all for LG G2 D800 running some lesser version of android, never 5.0....
Any help would be greatly appreciated, and oh yeah, I was able to get the new Beta super SU file pushed onto my phone and saved in the remaining space it does recognize, but I couldn't actually install it to give me SU priveleges again. Basically, if I can re-root, I can get my SD card back, do a full wipe, then install another more stable ROM ASAP>
Thanks again, so so very much. Please, Please help me get this phone working. I'm feeling more and more like a fool everyday knowing Im paying for a phone I can barely even use....
Happy Holidays,
Thad

[Completed] Galaxy S6 AT&T Custom Binary Blocked by Reactivation lock!!

GUYS!!! SOMEONE HELP ME PLEASE!!!! Okay i have a Galaxy S6 version 5.0.2 running AT&T G920AUC1AOE2. i had it rooted with ping pong root and everything was working alright. so i noticed i didnt have a custom recovery and i needed one to install other root items. I decided to try TWRP and followed the instructions from Techno buzz... just google s6 custom recovery and its the first one! and everything seemed to go fine until i tried to rebooted to get into my TWRP. and when i did all i got was a reboot and the normal start up screen that says Custom Binary Blocked by Reactivation Lock on the top left hand corner in red letters!! it doesnt go past here!!! ive had some experience with rooting and things like that but this time i dont know!!! i tried downloading the Stock Rom from an XDA forum but it was the OCE version... not the one im on which is OE2. so when i tried to install it would get stuck on NAND WRITE START!!! on odin!! i also didnt have USB Debugging on but i dont think thats the problem. the drivers are properly installed...i found a stock rom that is OE2 and i will try with that..PLEASE if anyone can help me i would really love your help!!! also please try to contact me at [email protected] PLEASE THIS IS MY LAST HOPE!!!!

Update
Okay so odin isnt gonna work.. so i found out i had a galaxy s2 lying around that wasnt running smoothly and i was trying to use odin to maybe flash a stock onto it. but i remember i had kies. so i went there and went to the firmware install. asked for the model number and it worked, asked for the serial number and it worked, then it downloaded and everything worked. so then with my s6 it isnt supported so i tried smart switch. i went to firmware install. model number was good, but when i type the serial number the whole program closes and i cant do anything. i would try to use odin to mess my phone up and try A emergency recovery but i cant even write with odin. im getting close so any ideas??

[Completed] Samsung Tab 3 Neo(SM-T111) stuck at TWRP Recovery

I rooted my SM-T111 with method given here:
http://techbeasts.com/2014/07/09/install-cwmtwrp-recovery-and-root-samsung-galaxy-tab-3-lite-sm-t110sm-t111/
Well rooting went smoothly,afterwards I just simply went to Recovery Mode(Just to explore).Afterwards I decided to reboot into system and kept aside my tab and went to complete some work.When I came back I found that it was still at the TWRP recovery page.I tried rebooting again and again and again...
Everytime I kept returning to the same screen.
I searched around the web and came across some solutions,however none of them are completely for my device so I want to ask for some advice.

Considering that I never actually Flashed a ROM or Did an OTA update , would the above mentioned methods work without f*cking my tab more than it already is.
Should I flash a ROM for SM-T111 and check or After flashing ROM use the code or do something else.
PLEASE HELP ME!
Any Help is appreciated.

[Completed] Samsung J5 SM-J500FN CWM damaged, os bricked

Hi everyone, I'm quite new to here. I rooted my phone a while back & enabled knox security which ended up causing it to get stuck in a bootloop.
CWM is damaged, it says E: Unknown, or it says things are disabled like adb sideload etc. I'm really stumped!
I'm not sure where to begin, I've tried Samsung kies, odin, a few other programs, none of which have worked at all.. Is there no way I can flash TWRP to it somehow? I'd really LOVE some help, I can't afford a new phone.
Any help is really appreciated!! Thank you!
