Soft Brick Every Time When Trying to Flash Any Rom

[67speeda]

I have searched and can not seem to find a solution

Here is where I am at:

Odin back to stock 4.4.2
Root with Towel Root
Install SuperSU, Update, and Disable KNOX
Install busy box
Install SafeStrap
Install Recovery
Boot into SafeStrap Recovery
Create Backup, Create a Partition and active Rom Slot 1
Wipe System, Cache, Data
Install Zip via External Card
Install goes perfect every time
Reboot
Phone gets stuck on the "Samsung Galaxy S5" screen


I can get into the stock recovery (not safestrap) and Download Mode

I then Odin back to stock and try again

I have tried 4 times and 4 different Roms. Has to be something I am missing

would using Flashfire possibly fix this?

EDIT:
Current set up
Android 4.4.2
Kernal 3.4.0
Build KOT49H.G900VRU1ANCG

I think the problem may be you are trying to use the ROM slot. I thought I read that you are supposed to flash ROMs in the stock slot with safestrap.

Thank you for the help

I fixed it but not really sure how.

I THINK it was messed up because I had the wrong Kernel
Here is what I did:
Flashed latest Lollipop with Odin (on parrells on a Mac, worked really well)
Followed the KingRoot Guide to root phone
After a few attempts got root back
Installed the Rom suggested in the the Kingroot Thread
Found some script on XDA to debloat

I really wanted to try the toxic rom but going to play it safe for now...

ROM slot 1 is your problem, as it isn't supported on our devices.

Flash to stock slot only. Ignore the ROM slots.
If you did indeed have the wrong kernel flashed, you would never successfully boot.
Sometimes you also have to wipe cache and dalvik cache again after installing a ROM.
