I have a verizon galaxy s5 I rooted it with the help and guidance from xda members over here. The method I used to root my phone was this one http://forum.xda-developers.com/veri...volte-t2879348 since i was already on NI2 I skipped steps 1. to 2.5 post rooting my phone everything was running pretty good for a few days without any issues but less than a day after I inserted a sim card in the phone it started randomly restarting so did a data wipe factory reset but the problem still persisted where my phone would would either randomly restart or go into a boot loop then I got the G900VVRU1ANI2_G900VVZW1ANI2_G900VVRU1ANI2_HOME.zip stock retail tar from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...42&postcount=1 and used ODIN to flash it but strangely even after I flashed the stock firmware it gave me the UNLOCKED logo at start below the Samsung galaxy S5 logo so I did another data wipe factory reset and now the UNLOCKED logo has gone but I'm getting a black screen after the Samsung galaxy logo. I can enter recovery mode and download mode my phone also gets detected in kies even with black screen.
I'm pretty freaked out and devastated right now because of the suddenness of this problem. I hope someone knows how to fix this issue.
Sorry for the long post but I wanted to be as detailed as possible.

I would start back over. Go back with a full wipe NGC tar file, reroot and go from there.

The second one. It's full wipe but it is best to start fresh sometimes.

OK I so I flashed this https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23610159112652178 through ODIN as you said and now I am getting display after the Samsung galaxy s5 logo all the way to the main screen and although I was hoping that this would fix everything I was also kinda prepared if it didn't. So here are the issues I'm having now, the display is a little glitchy after the complete bootup and even a couple times in the recovery menu the phone is also rebooting automatically after it goes to sleep or if I press the power button to turn of the display and it then blacks out and reboots.
Thanks again for your help so far.

That looks major. Is it still under warranty?

I'm not sure but even if it was does Verizon accepts warranty claim if the phone is without bill and not in USA?
if not then please tell me what you think I should do now and please let me know if you need anymore info,thanks again.

Did you buy it from Verizon? There should be a warranty of some sort from Samsung.

Also, does this problem persist even without the sim card?

Well the phone was a gift from my uncle and I'm not sure where he bought it from but I'm assuming he bought in USA and yes the problem still persists without a sim card.
Also how can I check the warranty on this phone?

Probably need a receipt from the store your uncle bought the phone from.

So if I manage to get the receipt of the phone and it happens to be in warranty and I take it to a local samsung store do you think they will accept it even though it wasn't bought in USA?
Also do you think its a hardware issue or just a software issue as I have no display issues or any kind of other malfunctions when I'm in Download Mode.

Unknown about warranty but worth a try. I am assuming you are still stock NGC from your last flash. Maybe trying the latest lollipop would help. You need to root again. You can always go back to stock if it doesn't.

I'll update the thread if I am able to get out of this hell I have gotten myself into by my own doing or if I decide to ditch the phone in its current state.
Thanks again for the help.

This could very well be a hardware or display issue so don't blame yourself.
