Firstly, because you said you could get into download mode, do the following step:

1/ Remove the battery then put it back
2/ Connect your phone to PC, wait until the charger screen shows up
3/ Open Odin and go into Download mode
4/ Reflash your firmware

Or

Try this guide: Unbrick/Restore Galaxy S5

Please elaborate me more detail on your case, it's difficult to figure out what you did and what steps you conduct to flash with Odin

P/S:
*try again by pulling out your sd cards and sim card before reflashing
*pls provide your Odin log

i used this rom: XtreStoLite v.1.1.5 and recoveriy twrp.
i just setting only this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=auXLfMhYZWA (for phone loss or theft ....)
menu by pressing the volume up and start, not working, show me this message: Custom binary blocked by Reactivation Lock. Recovery fail
but the phone turned on and shows me only this message........Custom binary blocked by Reactivation Lock. Recovery fail,no log, nothing, just message.
when I opened odin to put a new recovery on s5, I tried every, i removed the battery.... everything.
I used Odin, I tried a new recovery, The computer does not see usb connected phone,
finally odin see usb from phone...
i set for now recovery and odin reason FAIL, i second set on Odin ``Nand erase all`` (I think I was wrong with that)
and now the phone starts up the second log ... phone started just holding down all the buttons in a row, on does not work.
My mistake was that I did not look at video. just by chance: (
My apologies for the mistakes their English dictionaries

I'm afraid you just bricked your phone.

Do you have your PIT file backup. If you're using G900F 16Gb, download this

1. Try go to recovery, wipe data & cache
2. Use Odin flash stock firmware with the PIT file above. TICK "auto reboot", "f reset" and "re partition". Start flashing!
3. Hopefully Odin win say Pass at this stage
4. Unplug your phone, remove battery, reinsert it after 10 seconds, boot to recovery, wipe data & cache again
5. Reboot

And pray that it will work

After many attempts, I managed! YES !!!
but will not start unless you enter the password in your account samsung. do not mess with this setting.
If you forget the password or lose your account, it will not work NEVER !!! WITH ANY ROM! OFFICIAL OR unofficially!

Did you loose your data or was all wiped?

This same case happened to me with my G900S, I reset the phone via recovry and during setup i was asked to enter my forgotten password on my samsung account/cloud account, i have it service by a technician since my unit came from korea, bypass by force (dont know how it was done) made me access the phone, but the problem now is the phone runs without network signal, a No symbol appears instead of bars. IMEI No. shows 000000000000000.

Is there anyone has the same experience as mine? please help

hola

perdona que escriba en español pero no se me da muy bien el ingles.

buscate el md5 con alguna version de tu telefono, arranca en modo Downloader, enchufa el telefono al pc, retira la bateria y prueba a ejecutar el ODIN ahora. ya no te tiene que dar problemas.
