Hi everyone.
I followed the instructions regarding the use of Safestrap to upgrade to 5.0 and keep root. Detailed here http://forum.xda-developers.com/att...w-to-update-to-g900aoca-5-0-keeproot-t3076803 However, I did not flash this file " G900A_OC4_Stock_Partitions_wOA1_BL" I had downloaded a previous file called " G900A_OC4_Stock_Partitions" which I assume did not have the OA1 BL in it.

After I completed those steps, the phone was stuck at the Samsung Galaxy S5 splash screen. I then flashed the stock NCE ROM to start over but now the phone is stuck in a boot loop. I tried wiping the system through the stock recovery but no good. I can still access Download Mode and Recovery. I didn't get any errors when flashing the files via Odin. Any ideas? Thanks.

Here's what I have tried:

Flashed NG3 kernel
Flashed OA1 kernel
Flashed OC4 kernel
Applied NCE to NG3 update via ext-sdcard

Nothing is working...
