Rooting issue - General Questions and Answers

Hi.
I have recently tried to root my Samsung A50(also patched "disable dm verify, multidisabler, and rmm state bypass") but it was an unsuccessful try. The reason was that my phone was not booting into the OS and was stuck on boot logo. After some research I found out a way of getting out of that kind of situation. The way was to just download a firmware and install it on my phone with help of Odin. After that my phone started to work again, I even checked if my phone is rooted and it was not. But when I tried to use the Secure Folder I was getting error messages saying something like this - "This device is rooted or something went wrong".
Can anyone please help me with this problem?

Sch-i545 softbricked lollipop

In trying to root my I545 after it upgraded to 5.0.1, it no longer boots. It goes straight to the Verizon error that basically says to use the Verizon recovery software from a pc. This I have done and the software does not recognize the phone.
This phone will only boot to Download or to the Verizon error.
I feel there is still hope as I can get to the download area, ODIN see's my phone. But everything I have tried says "NAND write error" kind of thing.
I am hoping someone here can help to get this phone working again.
Thank you in advance

galaxy s3 semi-bricked need help!

bought this second hand verizon galaxy s3 4.4.2, rooted it with towelroot, and flashed twrp using twrp manager and when i tried to boot into recovery, i had a warning sign that software has been tampered with and i should contact verizon for help, i tried to recover using a stock rom with odin but it fails each time, i did some researcch for many hour without success.
sometimes the screen tells me to use software repair assistant, i was able to download it but it never detected the phone, just sits there while phone is connected, btw drivers have been successfuly installed.
i tried kies, didn't work either.
i know now that it had to do with locked bootloader, but this is my first verizon phone.
please any help will be appreciated!
Edit and solved!!!

[Completed] Note 3 SM-N900T - No OS or ROM

I have apparently killed my Note 3 SM-N900T. I was trying to install a new ROM/OS and now all I can do is get into TWRP but it won't let me install any of the zip files. It keeps coming back with an error message saying it failed. I have tried multiple downloads including the DarkLord and the original Samsung, but nothing seems to work. I can't get into Smart Switch even though I have the IMEI number. It's asks for the S/N which is not listed under the battery. Someone please help!!! Here is the list of what I have tried loading:
DarkLord.Note7.Full.Port.V1.0.edit.Ufo71
N900TUVUFOL1_N900TTMBFOL1_TMB-v5.0.1
DarkLord.N5.Beta.N920SKSU2ZPFB_edit.Ufo71
I can also get into Odin, but it only goes the the "downloading now" screen and it's not downloading anything. I spent over an hour on the phone with T-Mobile and Samsung and they were no help at all. I just need to know how I can get any OS/ROM to load.
Thanks for anything you can do to get me out of this jam. I need my phone.

Verizon Samsung Galaxy S5 SM-G900V: Bricked or Not Bricked?

So I was trying to root my S5 using this method.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/ve...oot-method-t3561529/post71202995#post71202995
I followed the instructions correctly until it prompts you to install a firmware. Since I thought a newer version than 5.0 Lollipop is available why not right? However, as soon as I installed the firmware the phone was stuck on "Samsung Galaxy S5" boot logo. So, I tried booting the phone in recovery but an error popped up saying, "Custom binary blocked by Reactivation Lock". At that moment I was worried that I bricked my phone, so I had to confirm it.
Is this error telling me that I bricked the phone? If so is my phone unusable now?
But if it's not bricked is there any way to fix it?

NEED HELP ASAP!!! - ****ed up aunts phone.

So my aunt came to me with a Samsung J3[6] android phone. She wanted me to bypass the block that says (this device has been reset recently, you must log in using an email you have used recently on this device)
I thought no problem. I was just going to flash it and restore stock J3 rom onto it, however I made a rookie mistake and I put the J3 V rom on instead while not paying attention. The phone boots and the buttons work so it is not bricked but now when ever I boot the phone the "setup wizard" continuously crashes. I need help fixing this and getting it working again ASAP because she neglected to tell me that she ALREADY SOLD the damn thing.
EDIT: I should also mention I have tried re-flashing it but now when in download mode I get "security check failed: pit" error
