Questions on unbricking my S5

[jonnio]

Last night my battery got down to 5% or so and out of the blue my phone restarted and ended up in basically a boot loop (It would let me use it for about 1 minute before rebooting). I tried everything I could think of and eventually gave up and did a hard reset. Now I can't get it to go past the Verizon logo.

I guess the next step is to re-load the software via Odin, but wanted to double check before I broke something because I am on OE1 rooted via Munoz's thread.

Best I can tell I need to load the NCG complete and then use flashfire to upgrade to OG5. Correct?

Thanks for the help.

u can downgrade 4.4.4 NK2 stock firmware then install NCG kernel for root by towelroot offline version by geo hotz after root reflash NK2 kernel
or u can flash stock 5.0 OG5 directly if u want
make sure repartition is uncheck in odin

I went ahead and flashed the older Firmware, re-ran towel root and upgraded. Seems to have fixed the phone, thankfully.
