To the kind souls out there,
I just tried doing a factory reset on my phone. Now the phone boots into the setup wizard loop stating ''please wait while we prepare your phone''. It never seems to finish preparing so theres definitely something wrong.
The phone was running a pre-rooted g900v stock OE1 with an OD5 bootloader that I had flashed using the flashfire method months ago.
I am still able to get into recovery and download mode luckily but I really don't know how else to get passed this wizard loop.
The instructions I had followed when I had first flashed the rom that I factory reseted are in this link http://www.droidviews.com/install-lo...ifi-tethering/.
I removed sim and sdcard and did factory reset again from recovery with no help.
I attempted to flash both pre-rooted OE1 and OG5 but Odin keeps returning FAIL!
I also attempted to flash G900VVRU1ANCG_Full_Odin.tar ( a downgrade) but ODIN keeps returning a fail after ''Nand Write start'' step.
Please please please help me! Any feedback would be greatly appreciated!!!!!

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

Hey guys so recently I had rooted my i537 S4 active and have been researching and modifying here and there until i decided to get a custom ROM. I found WickedROM via this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2491762 and considering it had worked on this person's i537 I decided to flash the ROM. After flashing I had become stuck in a bootloop and I can't get to anything besides DOWNLOAD MODE. Due to this problem I decided to run a stock firmware via Odin with this one_click http://rootzwiki.com/topic/44121-sgh-i537-i537ucuamf1-galaxy-s4-active/ this filled up until the bar was about 90% and then all of a sudden fails at <ID:0/003> system.img.ext4. I've tried other firmwares with no luck and have resorted to posting about this problem. please help and guide me in the right direction, i believe in you XDA!

Here is a thread about unbricking your device: [Restore to Defaults] ODIN for AT&T i537 (good for a soft brick!).
Hope that it works in your case.
If you have further questions about your device, please ask in the Galaxy S 4 Active Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting forum.
BTW, have you followed the installation instructions ... especially "2. Create ROM slot in SafeStrap"?
You have to use SafeTrap recovery to flash a custom ROM into the ROM slot, as the bootloader is locked.
And consider the warning in post #2 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=46656279&postcount=2).
Best to ask in this thread or the Q&A forum I linked above.
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.

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!
