So i bought a ldu of the Galaxy S5 and i wanted to change the ROM for it but none of the ROM's worked for me and the phone can't boot up, it's stuck on the Samsung logo. Phone has Write Protection enabled.
None of the PIT files i found worked. Now I'm stuck with a bricked G900F and I'm trying to find the original Demo ROM but i couldn't find one. Phone has twrp installed on it but still can't install custom ROM on it because it won't boot up.

Greetings and welcome to assist. There is very little information on the live demo units, I did find a couple of threads on it

If you can boot into recovery using the 3 button combo it looks like you can install a cm rom
Good Luck

Hello everyone, and thanks for taking the time to attempt to help me.
Earlier today, my T-Mobile Galaxy S5 updated to 5.1.1. I searched google and came across a few links on how to root my phone (G900T) - The one I ended up using was CF-AutoRoot
I used Odin 3.07, used the tar5 file from that site above where I downloaded the root, and attempted to root the phone. Odin says everything worked as planned ''passed'' was displayed with 0 fails. I waited about 20 minutes, but my phone never rebooted, it was stuck in a boot logo loop ' 'Samsung Galaxy S5 powered by Android'' or ''T-Mobile'' was displayed.
I tried going into recovery and reseting all data / factory wipe but that didn't help, and made it even worse. Now my phone says this when I try to turn it on: ''Firmware upgrade encountered an issue, Please select recovery mode in Kies and try again''
How do I go about getting back to stock firmware , that is rootable, so I can then proceed to install CyanogenMod?
EDIT: I used Kies and was able to get back to stock firmware and the phone turns on.
Can anyone recommend a reliable root for the G900T S5?

Hello and thank you for using XDA Assist.
It's good to hear that you managed to revive your phone. Many of us find it convenient to install a custom recovery such as TWRP which makes backing up and restoring, switching ROMs, and many such activities much easier. XDA happens to have an active and friendly area dedicated to the Samsung Galaxy S5, and specifically to the T-Mobile version at http://forum.xda-developers.com/tmobile-galaxy-s5. I suggest you search that area or simply post your question in the Q&A forum there at http://forum.xda-developers.com/tmobile-galaxy-s5/help where our experts will be most likely to be able to guide you.
First my phone was rooted before this but I tried to install XPOSED but it didint work it had me doing a bootloop so i thought about wiping my phone and didint think my OS would get erased now my phone just stays at the SAMSUNG GALAXY S6 screen I installed TWRP but no luck there people told me to install that but no luck I hope I can get some help ive tried to install stock firmware with odin but it keeps saying FAIL please help!

Here are official firmwares for your device. Boot your device into download mode and connect your phone, it should show up in Odin, then select the file you downloaded from sammobile and flash it from there. If you get any errors, please post the log here and I'll take a look at it.
Hi all,
I'm not new in XDA but i'm new in Samsung and yesterday i bricked my device. i own a Samsung Galaxy S8+ G955F
What i did was, first ticked OEM Unlock and USB Debugging in Developer options and then flashed the original TWRP recovery for Galaxy S8+.
After reboot the phone bootloop, i only can go to Download Mode and after that i trigger the Knox too.
If i try to flash an original Samsung rom i solve the problem?
Any help please?
Thx.
Solved by flashing a stock rom.
Sent from my Samsung Galaxy S8+ using XDA Labs
Reflash stock recovery.
Jtag dead phone to life and rewrite IMEI
First of all my phone is the s8+ G955fd, but I am sure that the people that helped me can help most Samsung owners with bricked phones.
My phone ended up being stuck on the first boot screen, I couldn't get into recovery or download mode. I installed TWRP and after that I lost my IMEI numbers( dual sim), so I tried to reflash stock and thats when i became bricked. I searched someone to help and found reference to the Fonefunshop in England. I sent it there and they said that the eMMC chip was bad. I searched for someone who could write to it or put a new one on the motherboard . I found A2Z cellular in Ottawa Canada. They used jtag to restore it to stock and they told me that the Fonefunshop had not opened the phone which is necessary to use jtag as they claimed, so avoid them.
The phone was now back doing everything it should except the IMEI's were null like before. I gave them the original IMEI's and the phone is working like new.
If your Samsung is bricked these guys can probably fix it and it won't cost much to find out.

You need to find that devices forum and post there. This is for s8 plus only
Hi,
I was trying to root a Samsung Galaxy A01 Core I had lying around but messed up somewhere in the process and can't figure out how to get it to boot back into android. I've tried different versions of TWRP and OrangeFox but none of them seem to work with this model. The closest I've gotten to booting android is getting the samsung logo by flashing a stock ROM that does identify as Samsung Official in download mode. I can't interface with it through ADB or fastboot and I've tried all the fixes I could find such as a different cable, extracted PIT and removing the SIM card. This phone is not at all important but I would like to use it for projects.
Is there any hope of getting this phone back into working order? Please say something if there is any information that could help.
