[Q] I can't unbrick my S5 - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5

Last night I started messing with the S5, I used Odin to restore to stock, then took all the OTA updates all the way to the 4.4.4 one that came out recently and after that I debloated it and removed the att apps and such, everything was fine. I tried changing the boot animation but messed up somewhere along the way and it wouldn't show a boot animation at all but still booted and got to the main screen and functioned perfectly. I decided to start over and tried to use Odin to restore to stock 4.4.2 but after flashing the first screen comes on and says that it's custom and has the open lock symbol then shows a slow and laggy samsung boot animation before freezing at some point on the animation and the screen goes completely black but the blue LED light stays on and it does nothing after that. I have tried using Odin repeatedly and erasing everything through recovery and nothing works. Please, any help would be appreciated.

It has been fixed I believe, I flashed the G900A_OA1_Stock_Kernel.tar.md5 and it works again.

Where did you get the .tar.md5 file? I think I just bricked myself out of recovery mode

[Q] Black screen after boot?

I have an i9000m which I had flashed to Froyo JPO with Odin, then installed Darky's ROM v 4.0. I had been using this for a while with no problem but a couple days ago it shut itself off for apparently no reason and when i tried to turn it on it would just get to the Galaxy S startup screen and then continuously restart and never fully boot. I could still get into download mode so I flashed back to the stock eclair JH2 firmware, but when I tried to turn the phone on, it would go through the normal boot sequence, but then i would be stuck at a black screen, with the bottom two buttons lighting up. I played around with flashing various different firmware versions, but it didnt help. After searching the forums it looks like it might be a problem with the internal SD card, but I'd like some other opinions/advice. Could anybody help me get my phone functioning again?
I'm having the exact same problem since today. It started out of nowhere; one moment the phone is working fine, the next its rebooting and it gets stuck...
Anyone got a solution besides a factory reset?

oh crap, need help

so i flashed to stock and when i boot my phone up or it resetted after the galaxy s bootscreen its just blank black, and if i touch it or something it keeps beeping
Remove battery for about a minute. Then flash to stock again and dont remove it from the usb or touch it until it fully boots up.
if rebooting the phone does not work, hope you can still get into download mode, then try to reflash the rom.
i used the att odin1click, then i used odin3 and used the rogers files, works perfectly now, going to flash supernova

[Q] Phone stuck on boot animation

HI, im sort of a noob at this but i have been using the Custonexus rom for a cuple of days now and it have been running very good But yesterday when i tried to unlock the phone, the lockscreen didn't show up, the backlit buttons turned on as usual.
I turned off the phone, and did a factory reset. The phone booted up as normal with no problems. When i was up and running again, i booted into recovery to flash back to the stock rom from my backup just to be sure it didn't happened again. I did a factory reset and navigated to the backups but the backup was gone I rebooted the phone but it got stuck on the CN boot screen. What should i do? i have tried many times to reboot it but it always get stuck on the boot animation.
Install original lg kdz and redo everything.
You have to install the Stock (original) Firmware. Here is a HowTo: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2069723

[Q] Need help resetting phone or resetting boot animation

Just got my XT1095 last week and unlocked the bootloader and rooted the phone (still on 4.4.4). Was playing around with the boot animations last night and all of a sudden my phone froze at one frame of the animation. The weird thing is my phone still works, I can feel the haptic feedback when I press buttons and Moto Voice works too, but I just can't see anything on the screen except the frozen boot animation. After restarting the phone several times, the same thing happens.
Tried to push some stuff to phone and realized i might not have re enabled usb debug after unlocking bootloader..
Friend suggested updating to 5.0 and see if that resets boot, but I can't even fully load Moto Device Manager it says "Update is Already in Progress" and closes.
Any ideas how to reset everything or restore stock boot animation?
