g900v BootLoop/Wizard loop after factory reset! PLEASE HELP!

[Minikefala]

Hey guys, so i just tried doing a factory reset on my phone. Now the phone boots into the setup wizard loop stating ''please wait while we prepare your phone''. It never seems to finish preparing so theres definitely something wrong.

The phone was running a pre-rooted g900v stock OE1 with an OD5 bootloader that I had flashed using the flashfire method months ago.

The instruction are in this link http://www.droidviews.com/install-l...sm-g900v-keep-root-and-enable-wifi-tethering/.

I removed sim and sdcard and did factory reset again from recovery with no help.
I attempted to flash both pre-rooted OE1 and OG5 but Odin keeps returning FAIL!

I am still able to get into recovery and download mode luckily but I really don't know how else to get passed this wizard loop.

Please someone help me.

Thank you for responding so quickly.
Unfortunately, the links for the OC4 rooted link in the thread you shared me does not work. I attempted to flash the ncg_full_odin and the g900v_downgrade_to_ncg and both returned fail in ODIN.

If you have any other sources for the file or any other ideas it would be greatly appreciated. I hope this is fixable......

Yes, that file!
ODIN fails after ''NAND write start!'' step.
It is a .rar file so tried both converting to .tar with 7z application and just manually renaming to .tar. neither worked though.
