[Q] Need help With soft Bricked Galaxy S3 I535 Verizon Model

Alright guys so here is the whole story with how I "Soft bricked my GS3 I535 Verizon version 4.4.2
I rooted my phone with the application "Kingo Root". It worked flawlessly my phone was rooted and i was able to install SuperSU and rootchecker and a whole bunch of other great root only apps. After I realized how great rooting was I decided I wanted to change my ROM to cyanogen since that what most people seem to prefer for a rooted phone. I downloaded an earlier version of EZ UNLOCK app to unlock the bootloader to that I could access the bootloader to flash a new ROM. After I used the EZ UNLOCK and turned off my phone to get into the recovery IT WAS HARD BRICKED . Luckily though I found this thread here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2581166 Which worked like a charm and had my device up and running again but was dependent on the new Ext SD card to boot up. When I got to the step where I was supposed to recover the Stock bootloader onto the device it seemed to work. I input the code in the Terminal that the instructions said to do with the debrick.bin file. (My file was actually a debrick.img disck image file) But I didnt think it mattered too much. After inputing the code and waiting for it to finish the process I tried to reboot to see if it would boot off of internal memory. Now it is stuck in a boot up loop AKA soft bricked i supppose. I cannot get into recovery as it is locked because of verizon stuff still.
At this point I have backups of everything I REALLY want to keep so If I can get to factory defaults even, that would absolutely fine.
PLEASE PLEASE HELP!
I apologize for the lengthy story but I feel the more info i give the easier it is for you to help.

[Completed] VZW Note 2 Bricked - Fix it, or replace it? (Suggestions)

I bricked my Galaxy Note 2 trying to root it. It was at version 4.1.2, and I was using CASUAL. It's now stuck trying to boot up the "Samsung Galaxy Note 2" screen just repeating over and over again. I tried flashing it with Odin, and it fails to write to NAND during boot.img. So, I'm wondering what my play is at this point.
I'm flashing to stock 4.1.2 with Odin 3.07. I've tried different USB cables, different ports, different versions of Odin. I've tried it with the battery in, with the battery out. I've tried accessing recovery mode (I can't). I've tried restarting my computer, updating Samsung Drivers, installing Kies, and just about every other suggested troubleshooting tip I could find, with no success. So, I'm pretty sure it's a paperweight now.
I can upgrade my phone and get something new, but with all the talk of locked boot loaders, and bounties for root, I'm not sure what I'd even get. I was considering an HTC M8 since they're free w/ 2 yr right now, but if I can't mess with custom roms down the line, or won't be able to root it, I feel like I'm back to being stuck on iOS. So, can somebody suggest a good upgrade to the Note 2 that won't be a total pain to mod? Or, even better, a fix for a bricked SCH-i605 Galaxy Note 2 on Verizon that can't enter recovery mode, or successfully flash with Odin?
Thanks.

[Completed] Can a LG K7 get bricked by rooting?

I had a Samsung Galaxy Grand Prime, I was watching
Some youtube videos on hoe to root your phone, I thought it would work because of how many likes the video got. I did not know about devices being bricked at this time. So i downloaded kingroot and attempted root. It said root successful, so i plated around with some rooted apps then I tried to restart my phone it showed this. Yellow triange (Custom Binary Blocked by FRP) I regretted everything. Then I got a new phone, same brand. 5 months after having the phone my friends told me that they rooted their device and it didnt get bricked, I was told if i use the newest version of kingroot i wouldnt get bricked, so of course I tried to root, GOT BRICKED AGAIN ?. A week after my 2nd phone got bricked there was this mothersday sale in T-Mobile, so i got an LG K7 for 96 bucks. Right now I have this bestfriend who has the same phone as me (LG K7) and he said he rooted it with no problems, not bricked. nothing. Right now im struggling if I should root or not. Is it only Samsung devices that can get blocked by the FRP? Help!!

Cannot Recover Samsung on5 GT5501 - all resources exhausted

hello all.
long time viewer first time posting..
Ive searched, downloaded, and even called Samsung Tech Support to no avail. After a week now this is my final attempt before the phone goes on Ebay..
I have a Samsung Galaxy On5 (SM-GT550T01) through MetroPCS. Acquired last week when I decided to trade a sibling phones. I had actually rooted the phone for them and it was working fine. switched SIM card out etc, theirs works fine mine isn't. Turns out they did a factory reset with root and somehow managed to even wipe the OS leaving me with just Twrp Recovery.. Ive locked up my fair share so first thought was smart switch the SN i found on Twrps terminal was not the original sn anymore? Searched here saw someone post a sn -tried it - it seemed ok until 100% then states an error use code in emergency recovery but does not give me a code.. eventually says cannot recognize anything, Ive tried ODIN, ADB, countless recovery firmware - same result,,,called support was transferred to "the techs" who said they wouldn't be able to force a new OS onto the phone...I find that very hard to believe...sorry for the rant....just wanting to know now if i waste anymore time or buy a new phone....as for knowledge on all this I would say between beginner and intermediate...lots of google/XDA/YouTube and I am usually able to accomplish something..this had me beat as well as awake at 346am...any help appreciated! Again
Samsung galaxy on5 g550t1 metro pcs

What happened with your Samsung oN5 GT5501
Im currently trying to root my samsung GT5501. Now I notice their is a GT550. Different model. I think the GT550 is the ON5 Pro. 16Gb of internal storage, but the one I'm guessing were both inquiring about has an internal storage of 8GB, correct?? Now hopefully were talkg bout the same phone. Now was it the GT5501 the phone u had rooted? If so, did u do it without a PC?? If so can you direct me to instructions or vids. Can't find any specifically for the GT5501. All the tutorials are for the GT550 model..... sorry I wasn't any help to you, but I hope you got it all sorted out...

The firmware that you are trying to flash is giving you the sw rev error because that firmware is an older/downgraded version than the version that is already on the phone. You have to flash the firmware that is the same as what is already on the device or a newer version, you can't flash an older version. Find the newest, most updated firmware that you can find for your specific model number.
Do a Google search for:
"Stock firmware for SM-G935FD"
Then find the newest available version that is made for your specific region/carrier.
