Samsung Galaxy S5 G900A (AT&T)
Previously on a day off I became very bored, and decided to root my phone. After playing around with everything for a day i did not like it. So i just went into recovery mode and did factory rest on my phone. Now I used supersu and a basic root everything worked perfect after i rooted it. But once I tried to put the stock firmware back on my phone it started acting funny. With showing Unfortunately Context Service has stopped. It was so absurd my phone couldnt function properly. I tried flashing the stock firmware on there in hopes that it would fix my problem, but it only made my phone completely inoperable. I have been trying multiple ways to fix this using odin v3.09 and odin v 3.10.6. Here are some of the files I have tried to get my phone back to stock. (G900AUCU1ANCE_G900AATT1ANCE_G900AUCU1ANCE_HOME.tar.md5) I have tried downgrades. Odin seems to fail on every single one besides this set up (AP_G900AUCU1ANCE_964333_REV00_user_low_ship_MULTI_CERT.tar.md5) (CP_G900AUCU1ANCE_964333_REV00_user_low_ship_MULTI_CERT.tar.md5) (CSC_ATT_G900AATT1ANCE_964333_REV00_user_low_ship_MULTI_CERT.tar.md5) Odin loads those three files onto my phone perfectly with in 3 minutes but after they are installed on my phone. When i power it up it gets through the first screen and only shows half of the samsung logo freezes and goes to a black screen with a blue light. I have been working at this problem for a little over a week a couple hours a night and i really can not seem to make any progess. Help would be greatly appreciated.
Still having troubles
Flashes firmware perfectly fine but still can not seem to get past the samsung logo loading super slow and then just cutting out and going to a black screen with a blue stationary light on top left of phone.
Still looking for advice

Hello everyone! I was sincerely hoping that someone would be able to help. I believe I messed up my phone beyond repair by trying to root it for the 2nd time. I rooted my phone in Sept 2014 and accidentally dropped it and broke the LCD (not the actual screen, but a piece inside of the phone). Samsung replaced the screen but they had to reset it so I lost the root. I wanted to try to root it again today. I already had all the tools; Odin, Superuser, and Philz Recovery. I put the phone into download mode, flashed Philz, and Odin said "Passed". When I put the phone into recovery mode, it didn't look like it did before. It just looked like the android stock recovery. I assumed (noob) that I may have done something wrong. So I tried flashing it again and it failed and was stuck in the download mode (Do not turn Target off). I waited approx 30 min and just said, "Screw it" and pulled the battery. I know stupid. Then I got the "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue message..." I did some research and many people on here and other android forums were telling others with somewhat of the same problem to download the stock rom. I'm currently downloading it but am worried it's going to do the same thing; "fail". I will update as soon as I try to flash the stock rom, but if anyone has other options, I'd so appreciate them.
Thanks so much for helping.....

P.s. I had the most up to date software for Sprint (maybe that was the problem)
I had my phone just sitting on a wireless charger this morning and had been there for about 15-30 minutes. I noticed it was rebooting, odd I thought? I took it off and then realized it was going into a boot loop. I gave it a soft reset and then it would turn on and stay on for about 10 seconds before boot looping again. I again gave it a soft reset after a couple loops and now it seems to totally dead, as the title implies.
No button combination has worked and I've held them all down for well over 30 seconds each. I've tried plugging it into my PC and haven't gotten any response that way. The blue LED is on so I know it's not dead...I think? To make matters worse, I bought this phone off Craigslist about 5 months ago and it's the Exynos version so I definitely can't get any kind of warranty on it. I'm hoping someone has had this problem and can help or just has some advice. Thanks everyone.
EDIT: To keep this updated, I have been able to get into Odin Mode and have tried to flash stock firmware. Odin says everything went fine but the phone hangs up at the Samsung Galaxy S7 logo. I'm unable to boot into recovery mode and I've even tried to reinstall TWRP with Odin and that has not worked.
Seen the LED only problem before, waiting for the battery to drain and the phone to turn off seems to be the only known cure atm
Once it does, connect the charger for 15 mins, then boot directly into recovery and clear caches to try fix the bootloop, possible it may need factory resetting / clean flash of stock ROM
Using the MicroUSB > USB white adapter, you may be able to connect a power hungry USB peripheral to the phone to drain the battery faster, I use a USB desktop fan, but some people report it not working when it is stuck in this LED loop and have just had to wait it out
Thanks for that advice, I'll let it drain over night. However, I have been able to get it to boot into Odin Mode and Odin v.3 recognized it. I flashed the stock firmware but upon rebooting nothing happened and now it gets stuck at the Samsung logo screen. I can still get it back into Odin mode, which I believe will be the fastest way to kill the battery, but I find it odd that I can get into that but not recovery? I am rooted and have TWRP installed, if that matters at all.
If you can get into Download (ODIN) mode, then letting the battery drain probably won't help, that only seems to help when the phone is completely stuck with nothing but the LED working
Make sure you flash CSC (Not HOME_CSC) along with the other 3 sections of the ROM, using ODIN 3.12.3, that should factory reset the phone after the flash
If you successfully flashed stock with ODIN already, you are no longer rooted and do not have TWRP installed, flashing stock with ODIN replaces all that with stock
I updated Odin and once again tried to flash the 4 parts, making sure I used the right CSC file, but I'm still getting hung up at the Samsung Galaxy S7 logo. Do you have a suggestion as to which region's firmware I should use? I have been trying the Australia one from SamMobile's site.
EDIT: And to clarify, I have the G930FD(the duos one).

Any region would work, and the F firmware works for the FD too
I was repairing my daughter's Galaxy S7 AT&T phone and switched out motherboard from a broken phone that was given to me that wasn't needed it booted up fine and everything but the dang thing was in front lock when I turned it on. Tryed getting ahold of the lady that gave me the phone but was no help. So I tryed to frp unlock it and install a custom os on it flash it abd all but had no luck couldn't get passed frp Google security. All my phone is doing now is say booting recovery in blue at the top when I hold the buttons down. Is there anyway past this at all now or did I seriously completely ruin her phone. Pray to God I didn't
So my Galaxy Note 5 was water damaged a few months ago and I just got it back up by replacing the battery. Problem is, I was trying to flash stock rom with ODIN and it seems like it doesn't do anything at all. When I try booting up the phone myself, it boots onto odin mode instead, and if I try going into recovery, it gets stuck on the TWRP logo (it had custom firmware before it was water damaged). I use the latest ROM sammobile has. ODIN isn't frozen or anything. It doesn't say that it isn't responding. It just doesn't progress further. Can anyone help me?
