got a little overzealous with some settings and made it so my phone doesn't boot past the Verizon screen. I wiped cache and didn't help, factory reset, didn't work. Tried to flash back to 0k3, finally tried to flash back to pb1. When I try pb1, it hangs at the samsung animation and when I go into recovery mode it still says system recovery is 0k3. Every rom I try to flash does not change that so I dont think my falshes are actually flashing. I'm using odin 3.10. I really just want a complete clean re-install, but cant seem to figure out how to get that to work. It's probably something very easy, but I cant find a thread that sounds 100% similar

So everything during Odin flashes looks normal, but it still doesn't take? This is very strange behavior.

Try using another USB cable/port, and if you have access to one, another computer.

Everything looks like it flashes normal. I've used the same files on a different device with same files and hardware and that's worked fine. It passes but when I reboot to softloader it's still ok3

In Download Mode, it will say
Code:
REACTIVATION LOCK (KK): OFF
or
Code:
REACTIVATION LOCK (KK): ON
Okay, its off, so not that.

Rest of info in that screen is
Product Name: SM-g900v
Current bin: Samsung official
System Status: custom (not sure what that means but it does display "Custom" with a big unlocked lock when booting, but it was doing that before it stopped working)
Qualcomm Secureboot: Enable (CSB)
rp swrev: s1, t2, r1, a2, p1
Secure Download enable
UDC start

Having trouble getting adb commands to work. Can only seem to get it recognized if I go into "apply update from ADB" and then its only sideloaded and flashboot just "waits for device." is their another way I can get that info without being able to boot the device up fully?

Okay, so download finished and I applied it, had to reboot several times but it did come up and is now on PD1. So I guess now my question is there a way to root right from where I am, or do I have to downgrade
