In trying to root my I545 after it upgraded to 5.0.1, it no longer boots. It goes straight to the Verizon error that basically says to use the Verizon recovery software from a pc. This I have done and the software does not recognize the phone.
This phone will only boot to Download or to the Verizon error.
I feel there is still hope as I can get to the download area, ODIN see's my phone. But everything I have tried says "NAND write error" kind of thing.
I am hoping someone here can help to get this phone working again.
Thank you in advance

Emergency I tried to download the ifs leak followed all the right procedures and for some odd reason the system was not upgrading so I thought something was wrong so I unplugged the skyrocket and up came the screen saying use kies to recovery mode. Kies is not recognizing my device so now I am stuck I don't know what to do and I need my phone to breathe again ASAP. HELP PLEASE!!! I either need to put it back to stock or something idk all I know is that there has to be a way
bought this second hand verizon galaxy s3 4.4.2, rooted it with towelroot, and flashed twrp using twrp manager and when i tried to boot into recovery, i had a warning sign that software has been tampered with and i should contact verizon for help, i tried to recover using a stock rom with odin but it fails each time, i did some researcch for many hour without success.
sometimes the screen tells me to use software repair assistant, i was able to download it but it never detected the phone, just sits there while phone is connected, btw drivers have been successfuly installed.
i tried kies, didn't work either.
i know now that it had to do with locked bootloader, but this is my first verizon phone.
please any help will be appreciated!
Edit and solved!!!

so, i was trying to root a verizon s4, there seem to be plenty of ways to do this.
i have odin 3.7 and 3.9 on my pc running windows 10(neither version fight with another)
anyway, i received a s4 that could not open the os. so i opted to try a root install. i opened odin 3.9 and dled a root rom for what i hoped was the right build... it failed.. ( yes i put the phone in to DL mode)
so, i DLed a different one, that failed to..
tried a third time, fail.
at this time after rebooting the phone, the screen tells me that "your device didnt update successfully. use the verizon repair assistant on a computer to repair your device and complete the update."
i DLed the windows version of verizons repair tool for samsung (i hope the right one, not sure as i had to search hard for it).
i ran the repair.. it spent an hr DLing, then started the repair. gets to 80% then fails.
i have tried this several times.. even restated my computer.
i cannot boot to recovery to reset to factory, which by the way was the first thing tried, but i can boot to DL mode.
i have read so many different things now, and tried different things that i am getting tunnel vision and cant focus anymore.. i need help please!
update
so i managed to get the phone working to boot the os by resetting the phone with a PIT file via odin.. i believe the build is of1? or something of that nature.. now just need to look int to rooting for that.

Greetings and welcome to assist. Glad you fixed your issue, flashing a pit file normally fixes issues like yours. There are a few videos here which should help you with your root

I have a Samsung galaxy s6 edge plus, I've tried everything to fix the problem i have. Its stuck telling me i have to use smart switch to fix my phone. Ive tried using download mode and odin and restore stock firmware of both new and the same version of android that was on the phone before the issue (5.1.1). The internal storage got wiped, since this happened i was unable to boot the phone past this point. Any time i use odin it fails at the pit file when i try to use all 4 files to repair. Smart switch doesnt even see my device in the emergency recover, I'm at a lost of what i should do, there is nothing on the internet with the same problem i have. Ive tried reinstalling drivers that also doesnt work. Odin sees the device but cant do anything with it. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated as i cant even shut the phone off without letting it die...
Still need help with this, I'm sure somewhere one of you have had this problem and know what to do.
Still stuck on emergency recovery and cant flash anything because the device wont allow it

Hello Everyone,
I have a bricked Galaxy Note 10.1 (Verizon) SCH-I925.
The only thing I am able to get to is ODIN mode.
I have downloaded from sammobile; KIES_HOME_I925VRAMK1_I925VZWAMK1_1481643_REV00_user_low_ship.tar
and have tried to load it using ODIN versions 1.85, 3.07, and 3.13. They all come back with a invalid hash error when I try to load it.
I have also tried to use:
BOOTLOADER_ALL_I925VRAMK1_I925VZWAMK1_1481643_REV00_user_low_ship.tar
CSC_ALL_I925VRAMK1_I925VZWAMK1_1481643_REV00_user_low_ship.tar
MODEM_ALL_I925VRAMK1_I925VZWAMK1_1481643_REV00_user_low_ship.tar
PDA_ALL_I925VRAMK1_I925VZWAMK1_1481643_REV00_user_low_ship.tar
These just fail when I try to load.
When I connect my device to my computer, it shows up in device manager as a USB device. Is this correct or should it show as an ADB.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Its a USB device .
Hash error bad download first check .Second check wrong firmware/ bricked phone SEE multiple bricked phone posts .
Try KIES recovery .
Will not connect
Tried KIES, both versions, does not connect.
The only thing I can get into is ODIN on the device.
I have read many threads on here but have not seen an answer to unbricking a Verizon SCH-i925 Not 10.1.
Help please.

Do you know anything about how it was bricked? Do you get the Samsung logo if you start it normally? You said only Odin is working, so I guess you also tried the recovery, does it just restart then or what happens in this case?

If I start it normally, I get the Samsung screen and then it goes blank. Recovery says "System software not authorized by Verizon Wireless has been found on your device. Please turn off your device and go to nearest Verizon Wireless store for help."
System bricked while trying to upgrade to Marshmallow. What I downloaded said it was for Verizon Model, but as soon as I tried to install the upgrade, that is when it bricked.

Just a heads up, no root or custom rom has been created for this specific model. Trust me, I am currently in the same boat as you. I have yet to find a solution.
