S5 soft-bricked but stuck in boot loop with no recovery menu after odin flash

omb10 · 2016-06-10

Recently, my Verizon S5 got stuck in boot loop, so I tried to restore the stock lollipop image using Odin, but the phone goes back to the boot loop right after the odin successful flash. I have tried different lollipop stock roms, so I know it...

Sorry for the confusion. Yes, I did confirm that the phone was on pb1 and I even re-flashed it again to make sure. but I still get the odin failed error when trying to flash the bootloader.
I also tried installing BOK3 and BOG5, but with no luck. they all fail the same way few seconds after I click start. the only firmware that I can flash successfully is the PB1 but after it PASS, I get the boot loop!

Usually if won't boot is something wrong with bootloader or kernel. Try to flash just the pb1 firmware or kernel only.
