Geeze. I think I screwed up. Here is the issue:
when i first time connected to the odin, two more COM box turned yellow.(so in total was three) I think I might disconnect it in the middle, i got a FAIL. and my phone kept rebooting, showing one GT-I9000M, and then GT-I9000 logo.
But then when i connect it again, it only shows two yellow box in total, including the default one at startup. then i run the PDA, it always shows success 1/fail 1. it still kept rebooting.
Then i tried the kg3 backup in the link "in case sheet! happens", I finally got my interface back. However it still showed "success 1/fail 1" in the process.
Another thing i'm not sure is i didn't do this part :
PIT = 512
PDA = CODE_I9000XXJVP_CL264642_REV03_user_low_ship.tar.m d5
CSC = GT-I9000-CSC-MULTI-OXAJVP.tar.md5
all i did is
"PDA the CF-Root-XX_OXA_JVP-v3.7-CWM3RFS.tar"
i'm so frustrated now, Could you help me fix it? thanks a lot.

I'm not sure why you are getting the other yellow COM boxes.
Do you have any other devices plugged into your USB ports that ODIN might find?
Did you just want to root your KG3 2.3.3 so you could run the unlock program?
If so, just grab the KG3 rooted kernel from this post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=16589476&postcount=183
and flash that as PDA.

this is what i get rooted finally through your link. two yellow boxes. there were three at first. no other device plugged in, i even pulled the mouse to check. and you can see still one fail in the message.
the only problem now is i could just open one disk on the computer when i turn on the USB mass storage. suppose could open both of them earlier. The one with the system files i can't open, the mounted sdcard is fine. i'm not sure if it's related.

great tutorial! Thanks!

How to fix my phone after breaking kernel (SM-G900A)

Hi! I have a Galaxy S5 G900A (AT&T), Which I wanted to change to a stock Galaxy S5 ROM, to get rid of all those AT&T apps that no-one uses. So I searched it up! Long story short, I found out that AT&T locked the bootloader and I can't do anything about it. Then I found this post to root my phone: http://forum.xda-developers.com/att-galaxy-s5/general/g900and3tong3keeprootota-zip-t2862299 . Then I just realized how I wanted root, so I did every thing they said, turned off reactivation lock, installed towelroot, and then flashed the file they said (G900A_ND3_Stock_Kernel) with Odin. After that, My phone just showed the Galaxy S5 logo for a minute like it's booting for the first time, and then it restarted to recovery (stock recovery). I clicked on reboot device in the recovery mode, and it just did the same. Afterwards, I tried to flash the G900A_Downgrade_to_NCE.tar file to go back to normal. Flashed it, and it said "firmware encountered an issue". I went to kies but it didn't see the device. Then I saw this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jfgq6bYfKLg . It had a "All recover Samsung.tar" file which should be flashed with Odin. And, I flashed it in odin. Odin said fail but it went back to the state when it was rebooting to recovery. I tried downloading so many AT&T ROMs and flash it but all say "Fail(auth)!" in odin. Any help? Thanks.

Hope this helps, just ask I will help you further if I can.
I did this too. It's a noob mistake. But from what I understand there is still no way to root Galaxy S5 SM-G900A after the 5.0 Lollypop update. This has to do with the bootloader being locked and not enough dev support on these now considered too old phones to be worth their time.
It took me 3 months to fix it and basically from what I gathered, from you, using the same method. Shoot in the Dark Flashing.

Just keep flashing **** and hope it works. LOL. It can't get any worse, right? After three moths of trial and error Flashing and just a LITTLE wiser in these areas, I think I might be able to help you. You need to Flash something at least 5.0+. Nothing below this will work and will always get "Auth Fail!". That is your locked bootloader preventing you from downgrading and rerooting and reupgrading with an already unlock, root access, stock Rom.
This is the one I used to finally unbrick my phone:
Link it was posted at: http://forum.xda-developers.com/att-galaxy-s5/help/g900aucu4coi5-file-t3231450
Link to Download: 5.1.1 OI5 https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B11_scgy1qonMW45T0lRbXQ3ZHM/view
But any of these should work...
5.1 PA2 http://forum.xda-developers.com/att...w-to-update-to-g900aoi5-5-1-unrooted-t3235774
6.0.1 PH2 http://forum.xda-developers.com/att-galaxy-s5/general/g900a-mm-odin-package-g900aucu4dph2-t3477515
6.0.1 PH4 http://forum.xda-developers.com/att-galaxy-s5/general/galaxy-s5-android-version-6-0-1-t3419016
P.S. I was on KitKat before all the above. My biggest mistake was just Flashing random stuff. I inadvertently flashed a lollypop kernel and that is what forced me into an update I could not get out of. So no more root access for me. Lesson learned!
Oh and btw, Hello this is my first post. Never even saw a need to register an account until after be a reader for at least 5 months. The POWER of SEARCH. I did what 5 cell phone repair shops could not. Unbrick my Galaxy S5. All with the resources of this amazing forums.

You've posted some pictures, but that isn't telling anyone anything. Care to describe your problem?

And also make the title a bit more meaningful...?
https://forum.xda-developers.com/announcement.php?f=3708
3. Post using a clear and descriptive subject and message.
You're most likely to receive a helpful answer to your question, if you use a short subject title that describes your problem and a message that explains in detail, what your problem is and what you've done to try solving it.

Don't need to be a professional, just give us more specific info like:
What are you trying to install?
What version of Android are you on?
What, exactly, are the steps you've used so far?
We need as much detail as you can give

Your first mistake was in trying to use the toolkit. If you've never used fastboot before, learn to use it before trying to use a toolkit. In order to unlock you need to be in Android, need to enable developer options in settings, enable OEM unlock in developer options, shut off the N6, and then enter bootloader mode. Only then will fastboot oem unlock work.
Since you're in a bootloop, your immediate tasks are to enter the recovery and perform a factory reset. If those fix the bootloop, then follow the guidance above. Otherwise you need to flash one of Google's OTA zips through the recovery, then factory reset, and then follow the guidance above.
There are help guides in the general section that you want to read and understand, before you accidentally turn your N6 into a paperweight.

Le S3 x626 bricked issue

Hi, I have checked this thread as I experienced the same issue(If confused what I'm talking about read
www chinaphonearena com/forum/Thread-Question-LeEco-Le-S3-X626-Helio-X20-Bricked ), I was able to get past the phone buttons not working and was able to flash a new firmware. But this led to another issue considering the system.
For one, I am unable to unlock my bootloader, I just receive the error : FAILED (remote: unlock operation is not allowed), and there is no way fro me to get in my android as it always stays on the LeEco POWERED BY ANDROID screen, which then shuts down and reboots.#
As well as this, the display is now very unusual: the LeEco logo is coloured green white and yellow, the display is flipped horizontally and mirrored vertically.

It's VERY annoying and I hope it can be solved.
NOTE!! I can still use locked bootloader/fastboot, can't use adb and can use SP FLASH TOOL

You need to power the phone and wait till boots. Enter the flipped UI enable developer mode and unlock the bootloader.
All the control are flipped so be patient.
After that enter fastboot and flash the original rom

Thanks for the reply, I fixed the issue the same day, I just fixed it using the second part to tickernel's red light unbrick tutorial, I completely missed it out. The rom I was using where everything was inverted was just to unbrick the phone, then after I'd have to flash the rom provided by tickernel to fix. It worked again and an advantage was that there was no more ORANGE state, I didn't have to patch to hide the message nor wait the 5 seconds, so now I can flash custom roms on my phone without the message. The method you provided wasn't the fix, before opening this thread I double checked and saw your method, but thanks anyway .

it was necessary to use a mirror. for example, in the bathroom

it depends on which model is taken ROM. It does not play any role. Can be changed to Build.prop

after bad ressurects i return my device le x626. to le x620 with eui 5.8.018S (stab.) it works normal. But was some bugs with 4g on (turn phone off) and google programs don's start.
But i fixed it all, now it works great, but i think is it bad?

take the stock firmware 28. and install. why use the old version? maybe get my firmware.
to use google apps. you need to download google installer, then after installation, in the settings give permissions to all Google apps.
and correctly to do so: to install firmware, then to start system and to configure it. and then only install the google gapps.

Update on unbrick
With my phone unbricked, it now works perfectly. But now the battery drains very fast. It drops by around 25% in less than half an hour with normal use such as watching videos on youtube in "360p" with all my apps closed, but still the battery drains. I have tried flashing different roms and clearing all partitions in twrp and flashing the CUOCO AND WOLFRED x.28s custom stock roms, but still the issue persists. This is very unusual as before my phone bricked, the battery would hold up for at least an hour before falling by 10 to 20 %. Does anyone have any speculations on why or any fixes? Please help.
UPDATE: I fixed by flashing the international version system.img only if you need it send me a message and I'll put up a link.

Well first, you're posting in the wrong forum for help of this sort. This is for roms, kernels etc, for problems like this it should be in questions and answers.
Anyway, you don't say what firmware you're running? AT&T? Sprint? T-mo? When u say u replaced the abl_a instead of laf_a, do u mean u erased the abl_a instead of laf_a?
Assuming that's what u meant, just mention which version firmware you're running and I'd bet someone has an abl_a for it.
cheers

Oh thanks, i dont know how to send the post overthere, but i will do it, lineageOs 17.1. on a At&t lg variant, and nope, i send laf.img to Abl_a, and it was v35eng.img the one i need to send, i get distracted and after that, phone enter in that status, they tell me about Box service, looks like is the only method

I don't think you need any 'service'. It sounds like your situation isn't that dire. You could just send the v35eng to abl_a now. You may think you're stuck because the phone won't boot, so from the directions, to get to edl, the phone should be booted...
but that's not true. You can get to edl mode (qfil) from any screen. Try this: hold down all 3 buttons for about 5 secs or so. Wait until the screen changes (from whatever it was prior), then keep the pwr and vol - held, but press on off on off on off the vol+ key. Make sure the usb cable is plugged in pc when doing this.
You should hear the windows 'chime' sound indicating a edl connection. Then use qfil to flash the v35eng.
cheers
