Hi ndh175
Thank you for using XDA Assist
As I own a S5 too, I will try to guide out of this. Be aware that the below procedure may erase your data completely so you should have a backup prior to start it:
A) You did not specified the S5 model you have. With that information at hand, follow the below link and find the most suitable Firmware for you. I've linked you to the G900F but you should change it if necessary:
http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/SM-G900F/
B) Follow this general instructions to overcome the boot loop issue.
C) Finally, the most up-to-date Custom Recovery for your device will be found at the below Thread:
[RECOVERY][klte] TWRP 3.0.2-0 touch recovery [2016-04-05]
Nice regards and good luck.

Hello, I'm having a lot of trouble trying to find a recovery for this phone. It's rooted by using odin but, I don't know which recovery to install. I tried installing twrp, and cwm to flash a rom because I'm on 4.22, but only reboots not to recovery. Anyone know what to do? Thanks
Recoveries are highly specific to your exact model of S4. So can you specify which US Carrier did you get the S4 from ? Or is it the international version ?
It's att but unlocked for any gsm network. It's now connected to Metro pcs.
You can use [RECOVERY][jflteatt] TWRP 2.8.3.0 touch recovery [2014-12-22]
Post on that thread if you still have questions.
Twrp not working.
I already tried those methods and twrp keeps crashing, it doesn't allow it to flash.
Anyone??

HI..
I am currently using samsung galaxy s duos 2(gt-s7582)
first i rooted my device with i root and then tried to install custom rom..though there was not a single custom rom developed for this device.
so i tried to install unsupported roms from miui..after fixing some error issues finally it installed correctly..but stuck in boot loop..
at the begining i restored the back up stock rom using cwm recovery..then again tried to install those roms..meanwhile i formated system folder after that I am facing failure to mount efs and also facing boot loop while flashing stock rom or custom rom.also tried to fix bootloop using adb..but could not get into adb shell in boot loop situation..please help me to get out of the situation..
thank you.
Hi,
Sounds like a bit of a mess now. I hope the miui roms you flashed were made for your exact device, or you could have real troubles. Though it doesn't sound like your bricked yet.
You'll need to try flashing your stock firmware again to hopefully get up and running. I can't find anything on XDA for your firmware... But this thread has some pre-rooted stock firmware and flashing instructions,
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2594957
You could look for your firmware at the sammobile website and start at step 5 in the thread above. It's the same procedure, but using the firmware from sammobile instead.
You can ask for help in the first thread above.... But if that doesn't help, you'll need to ask for help here,

Good luck!
Hello! First time post. I just rooted my Samsung Galaxy s5 verizon today, and this forum has proven very helpful. Now I am trying to install a custom recovery mod like TWRP or CWM because it seems this is essential for rooted users. Anyways I am new to this and don't have very advanced technical programming skills so I would really appreciate some help here. So far I've read that verizon version of this phone has strict permissions and haven't found a method for installing TWRP or CWM that works. I've done quite a bit of searcing, if someone could point me in the right direction that would be appreciated!
I've tried using the ROM manager app, TWRP manager app, and also tried to find a version of TWRP to flash. I got close with the TWRP manager but it asks me to "Ensure partition listed below is correct one for your device.... if not then you could brick...." directory is dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/recovery is this correct? I am worried this may not be the correct method, or directory, and couldn't find my answer online.
thanks in advance
here is what i found:
galaxys5root.com has a method for installing safestrap.
worked on my galaxy s5 g900v
apparently there's still no TWRP or CWM available ?
Hi
Thanks for writing to us at XDA Assist. The Verizon S5 is indeed locked down pretty tight, you can't unlock the bootloader or install TWRP or CWM recovery. Safestrap is the way to go:
[RECOVERY LOCKED] Safestrap Recovery v3.71 [2014-01-10 Alpha]

Greetings and welcome to assist. Trying to install a custom recovery or custom rom not designed for your phone is likely to brick it so I wouldn't recommend it. There is no custom recovery for your device on xda but here is an excellent guide if you would like to try yourself
