[Q] Pretty Sure I Killed my Phone

I've been running CM on and off on this thing for almost 2 years straight upgrading all along the way (including nightlies as recent at late july this year) well after dealing with some instability issues I figured I'd try to flash my phone back to stock and see if I could get things back fully operational GPS, non-crashing chrome etc.
So I fired up Odin 3.07 and tried flashing a 4.3 ROM to it and it's been down hill from there.
I should have done more research before attempting the restore but tried the method that worked in the past of just getting a copy of stock ROM and flashing it with Odin.
After the initial flash returned a failed result, I tried rebooting the phone and trowing in the towel, but apparently I jacked up my bootloader and now I can't flash my phone at all.
I tried both methods in the next link including re-partitioning with pit files at the bottom of the article and no luck, I also tried "upgrading" with Kies and that fails too.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2586319
I've tied just about every stock version I could find and all that happens is the update fails with an output like whats shown below.
Update1: I've also tried the debricking procedure in this forum with no luck.
Has anyone seen this behavior?
Sorry if this post lacks details.

You updated to a version with a locked bootloader...
JTAG seems to be the only solution at the moment.

I was afraid that was the case.
Thanks for the feedback.

Warnings on boot up:
KERNEL IS NOT SEANDROID ENFORCING
Set Warranty Bit: kernel
(The phone has been rooted previously but has been unrooted, TeamWRP is installed)
I rooted my phone a while ago and tried loading a custom ROM. However I definitely installed the wrong ROM as the kernel that came with it would not work, I then installed a custom Kernel to get the phone to a usable condition. This has been fine up until recently when certain apps claim the phone is rooted or crashing unexpectedly and also claiming the phone is a security violation.
I'm trying to restore the phone to the factory Samsung TouchWiz ROM/Google Android Factory ROM with no errors.
I've checked for a couple weeks now and as far as I'm aware I haven't found anything that relates to my problem.
Any help will be deeply appreciated!

If you wish to return to stock then please take a look at this guide here. You should have no problems following the instructions.
Good luck

Attempted flash
UPDATE: I had a backup and was able to restore the phone to working condition however I am back to square one with the original problem

Tried rooting Samsung Galaxy Grand Prime with Cricket Wireless, now won't boot?

I have a Samsung Galaxy Grand Prime, purchased through Cricket Wireless. I wanted an adblocker and tetherer, so I installed the KingRoot apk and ran it from my phone. I didn't do anything besides enabling third party apps. I then used the KingRoot Software to uninstall some bloatware. I installed an ad blocker, but it said my phone was in an unrecognized state and I should restart. So I did. When I do, It shows the sansung galaxy grand prime logo with an unlocked symbol underneath it. In the top right in red text is "KERNEL IS NOT SEANDROID ENFORCING". That screen then changes to a yellow alert triangle above the text "Security Error: This phone has been flashed with unauthorized software & is locked. Call your mobile operator for additional support. Please not that reapir/return for this issue may have additional cost." This screen does not change. Is there a way to fix this?
Edit: Okay, I found out that samsung uses a different keyboard combo to enter download and recovery than I'm used to. So I can get into that. I'm going to try a factory reset.
Another Edit: I am unable to get back into that screen. It displays a "do you want to install a custom rom? y/n" page instead. Yes goes to a "Downloading... Do not turn off target!!" page, byt it's not plugged into anything. No goes back to the security error.
Edit again: I'm stupid I was holding the wrong volume key. Now I'm rebooting the system.
Edit: The hard factory reset did not work. Evidently there is also not a cyanogenmod available for the grand prime. But samsung makes the firmware available for download here www dot sammobile dot com/firmwares/download/49208/G531FXXU1AOF7_G531FPHE1AOF2_PHE/. So I just download that, then do like adb push rom.zip with the phone plugged in and in download and recovery in apply update from ADB mode?
Edit: I tried following these instructions www dot droidviews dot com/install-official-android-5-1-1-lollipop-on-samsung-galaxy-grand-prime/ and it gave this error:

How to disable Qualcomm Secureboot on Galaxy S7 Unlocked

I just got it for Black Friday. Enabled developer mode, turned on OEM Unlock and USB debugging, fired up Odin and my phone is telling me the following when I boot it into recovery:
Code:
ODIN MODE (HIGH SPEED)
PRODUCT NAME: SM-G930U
CURRENT BINARY: Samsung Official
SYSTEM STATUS: Official
FRP LOCK: OFF
WARRANTY VOID: 0x0
QUALCOMM SECUREBOOT: ENABLE
RP SWREV: B4(2, 1, 1, 1, 1) K1 S3
SECURE DOWNLOAD : ENABLE
From what I've been able to google, this means my bootloader is still locked. If I try to flash CF-Root with Odin, I get this:
Code:
SECURE CHECK FAIL : recovery
And in Odin, the log looks happy as a clam, then tells me
Code:
FAIL! (Auth)
And kills the process
I'm really not sure why this is happening, since my Developer menu consistently shows OEM Unlock as being enabled. I know Odin detects the phone, it doesn't seem to be an issue with computer -> phone connection.
I've tried flashing CF-Auto-Root-herolte-heroltexx-smg930f.zip and CF-Auto-Root-heroqltetmo-heroqltetmo-smg930t.zip, as well as TWRP 3.0.0-0. Nothing seems to work, Odin always kills the process and I get the same "SECURE CHECK FAIL: recovery" message. I've got no idea what to do.
Also, FWIW, I have the SDK, ADP and JDK all up to date.

OEM unlocked within the developer options means nothing. That only applies if the phone has the ability to be unlocked. The phone you purchased is locked.

Exactly, the 930u is unlocked to all carriers, but its bootloader locked. Take it back and get the international 930f version.

Well this stinks. I thought only the T-Mobile version had a locked bootloader? This explains why I can't find anything about how to root it.

The T-Mobile version can be rooted by flashing the engineer boot image. I've done it and returned to stock to confirm. You can find the guide somewhere in the Verizon S7 thread I believe.

I have referenced the guide I followed. GUIDE. I followed all the instructions. After root I used the Debloater and my phone was incredibly slow and inefficient. So, I used the fix V15. Yet again, slow, hot and a whole host of problems. So, I follow the unroot guide. I continued encounter this error on odin when attempting to unroot.

I got frustrated and Held any button I could to get that stupid screen to go away. I was met with "An error has occured while updating the device software. Use the Emergency recovery function in the Smart Switch PC software. So, I go to do that. And the smart switch software does not support my phone. So, I boot into Recovery mode Wipe Cache, Wipe everything I can and try to reboot and I can only go from DOWNLOAD mode to recovery mode. I read somewhere on here that you can't Rollback firmware so I try the newest firmware and maybe that will work. I encounter no issues in ODIN and no issues on my phone Once my phone reboots it goes to the Samsung Galaxy S7 splash screen with the Unlocked lock and doesn't do anything past that. So I try to boot to recovery mode and that's when I get caught in a loop. My phone went from a flashing "Recovery booting" then if I tap a bunch of VOL UP/DN HOME and POWER combinations It will go to splash screen and flash the splash screen numerous times. I can now get it back to Download mode after messing around with it. But I have no idea what I need to do.
If I need to provide any more information let me know.

How Do I mark this as solved? I Used ODIN to update my bootloader to the newest version. then used the most current AP CP and CSC there is. It's booted up and installed. Now I'm just restoring and Going to restart to make sure everything is working correctly.
