[SOLVED] Galaxy S5 Verizon Back to Stock with Dev aboot.

[MrTrumpz]

So, I'm trying to flash everything back to stock before I send this phone back to Samsung for Trade in deal.
I unlocked the bootloader using this guide here https://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-galaxy-s5/development/rd-unlocking-galaxys-s5-bootloader-t3337909
Using this guide https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2784880 I tried flashing back to stock using OC4 Stock retail tar.
Unfortunately, I am getting an error on download mode when running in ODIN MODE.

SW REV CHECK FAIL : [aboot]Fused 2 > Binary 1

Not sure how to continue from here, tried searching but couldn't seem to find anything.
The guide said I should backup up the loader before flashing or I could be stuck with a locked bootloader, this is what I want though. I would like the phone to appear stock before I return to Samsung.
Would appreciate some assistance. Thanks in advance.

UPDATE:
Well, I feel pretty silly. I solved my issue. Apparently you can't flash the boot loader if you are on a higher version number and you are trying to flash an older bootloader. I was able to find a newer tar file from here https://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-galaxy-s5/general/update-qh2-t3672387

I was doing more searching and found the solution to my problem from a Note 3 thread.
Thanks again XDA.

Try a more up-to-date tar, BOK3 at least. Or newer.

LoL, yeah, just figured that out.
Thanks for the response though man, I appreciate it.
Although, If you may, is there a way to remove the padlock icon (make it look locked again) from the boot screen?
I'm assuming I must of used a rooted retail rom?

Yes, you need to flash a factory firmware with pit-file. Or something.
Have you got a newer tar?

Can I use this pit?

Unzip and flash this after flashing that new tar:

The padlock never gets locked , it simply disappears.
It may disappear after the second reboot.

Hmm, okay.
So, first I flashed my pit file I linked earlier, with the tar.
Then I flashed your file after unzipping. (put in odin ap box)
Did a factory wipe, padlock still appearing there.

At Verizon splash screen, its been sitting there quite a while.
Padlock still on splash screen. Will wait a bit and see if it boots into android and reboot again to see if the padlock is gone.

Okay, finally got to the "Android is starting"
"Optimizing apps"
Finally got rid of the padlock.
Thank you so much for your help.
Its more appreciated than you think.
