I rooted my phone about six months ago so I could have super user permissions. Today, I decided I wanted to try to install cyanogenmod.

After following the instructions to install CM and repeatedly failing (with no apparent harm to the phone), I thought the issue might be that I hadn't unlocked the bootloader. I tried to install TWRP using Odin, but apparently I had installed safestrap back when I rooted. I opened safestrap, attempted to install the packages listed on this post [http://forum.xda-developers.com/ver.../rd-unlocking-galaxys-s5-bootloader-t3337909], and my phone is now apparently/maybe softbricked. I tried to follow the un-bricking instructions on that same page, but I'm getting "fail" messages from Odin.

I do not know what I'm doing. I downloaded what I thought was the stock TAR for my US Verizon Galaxy S5, but it's giving me fail messages when I try to install it with Odin in the AP slot. Am I missing something? Do I need a Pit file or something else in the BL or CP slots? What am I missing?

I would really appreciate any help. I'm out of my league with this.

To add information, I'm getting an error message on my phone saying "[aboot] fused 2 > Binary 1 error" and even after googling that I'm not sure what the fix is.

I just want to get back to non-bricked. Even stock is acceptable.
