Have been using a S5 for several years which I unlocked bootloader and rooted at the beginning. Been running a NI2 firmware with no problems. Decided I wanted to try a Lineage rom and when I tried to flash it, it failed. I wanted to update to later android so I flash a Stock firmware through ODIN and it work fine for several days. For reasons unknown to me I went into recovery again and did a factory reset. Now when I turned on phone this is all I get and it will no longer let me boot into recovery mode. No matter what key combination I push, I just get the following screen:
ODIN MODE
PRODUCT NAME: SM-G900V
CURRENT BINARY: Samsung Official
SYSTEM STATUS: Official
REACTIVATION LOCK: OFF
QUALCOMM SECUREBOOT: ENABLE (CSB)
AP SWREV: S1, T2, A1, A2, P1
SECURE DOWNLOAD: ENABLE
UDC START


Software Update Failed
etc etc etc

Tried flashing different firmware in ODIN (3.09 and 3.10) and still boot into same
screen with following line added:
SW REV CHECK FAIL : [aboot] Fused 2 > Binary 1

Have tried Samsung Switch, Kies and Verizon Software Update to no avail. Have uninstalled drivers and reinstalled several times. Also ADB does not recognize phone.
At wits end - any suggestions appreciated!

You need to install using odin the last update avaliable for G900V. The last update is QF2. Download from updato and flash it..

Just wanted everyone to know that the phone is now working!! Had not done anything to the phone since last post. Yesterday took it downstairs to an old computer running XP. When I turned the phone one got a surprise, it booted to the Verizon splash screen and stuck there. Installed ODIN on the computer, was able to put phone in download mode and then ODIN worked and was able to flash the DQH2 rom and phone works great. I now have a back up phone!

glad to hear it all worked out! I was in a very similar situation for the past week (S3 to the rescue), but using the latest Odin and the latest update for my VZW S5, I'm back on the S5. Now to search for regaining root....
