hello all my s5 is stuck at the galaxy s 5 screen and it wont go past it
Did you attempt to root it incorrectly?
Did you flash incorrect/modified firmware?
What were you doing, specifically, when this started happening?
Did you make a backup? (Not that you can do this on the AT&T GS5...)
Please provide specific details.

Ok, so here it goes:
I own a at&t galaxy s4 active , the day the lollipop ota came , I updated successfuly. THEN, I used KINGROOT and successfully temp rooted it.... HERE'S WHERE MY SCREWUP comes in- I DIDN'T flash any custom recovery, and while I was deleting some system bloatware, I ACCIDENTALLY DELETED THE BUILD.PROP!! Now the phone will boot,, but not into the OS.
I know its a VERY dumb rookie mistake, I'm new to Samsung devices, I've always been an HTC guy, and I'm definitely not New to rooting , unlocking bootloaders, etc. But Never on Samsung devices...
So I'm pleading, if anyone can give me any advice on how to fix this, PLEASE lemme know, it would be GREATLY APPRECIATED!!!

DON'T USE KINGROOT! Sorry to yell about it, but I can't stand that monstrocity. Unfortunately there are no lollipop firmware files, so you're going to have to follow my process detailed here to get back to working lollipop rooted:

There's no way to unlock this phone's bootloader so you can't have a custom recovery anyway
New to XDA and can't really seem to find any information on Rooting and unlocking the bootloader for my Samsung Tab A 8 SM-T350. Would like to put custom recovery on it if possible. Any suggestions? Please and thanks.
I second this. I've had this sitting in my drawer for a few months and would like to tinker with it.

Right? Its a good tablet, it just is very limited With touch wiz and the bootloader being locked. I tried kingoroot and it got to 90% before staying at a halt.
There is no official forum section for this device but it looks like there is root and TWRP for the t350.

Guys there is no "unlock bootloader" in SM-T350. There is no such thing.
TWRP is the only custom recovery for SM-T350. No more than that.
There is a custom rom by the way.
There is a custom kernel.
There is a way to root it (system-less only)
There are so many possibilities.
I have a Samsung Galaxy Tab A 8.0 Smoky Titanium SM-T350 Marshmallow.
If you need help or the links. Respond BACK! I'll give you them.
My Galaxy Tab A is bricked. Can someone help me fix it? I have attempted some things, to no avail!
Send me link and solve cant mount sdcard problem in recovery mode
I flashed the patched boot img and it said it worked, now I am lost on the next step... all magisk manager says that I haven't done on the main app page is that magisk is not installed... confused.
I recently pulled my old Note 3 out of the drawer to do some misc tweaks, and think i screwed it all up...LMFAO!!!
Quick specs of phone...
Samsung Galaxy Note III (AT&T SM-N900A) 64gb (yes, i said 64gb and not 32gb)...but NOT why I am posting, so please don't even comment about it.
Steps that led to where I am...
First off I will say the device was originally rooted 4.3 back in 2013, and never updated since. Today I decided I wanted to update the phone to the last OS that worked perfect for a root, no i didn't just update it. I followed SuperSU's & TWRP instructions on first bringing the phone back to stock, didn't work and left me in recovery mode. Again, doubtful but may have been caused by me. So I was left with a wipe/restore because every time I attempted recovery via OneClickBin it would fail. After wipe/restore I was able to reinstall SuperSU and device was still rooted, obviously. So I attempted to completely remove root through SuperSU and it just kept getting stuck on spinning wheel. So then I attempted to reinstall TWRP and now I am stuck at the screen shown below in screen shots. Thanks in advance for any and all assistance, regarding this matter.

Oh yeah...and I'm a total and permanent disabled Veteran who doesn't have the ability to "go to AT&T store". So lets please try to fix this without going anywhere. Thanks again in advance.

If the phone doesn't have a locked bootloader, you can try flashing back to stock with Odin and then run ota updates until the phone is running the latest stock ROM.
AT&T variant have a locked bootloader. You can't use TWRP or any other custom recovery.
Please follow this guide to fix your softbrick, root and update.

This was EXACTLY what I needed and worked flawless!! And I am so sorry for not responding sooner, as I have been in the hospital again.
DONE!! Thank You to those that helped!!
hello i have found root you need to check out root junkys video he will list the stuff you need to dohttps://youtu.be/5-ubrnWdGT4
No you did not find root. These guys did. https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s8/development/samsung-galaxy-s8-root-snapdragon-t3659305
DO NOT ATTEMPT THIS. You will be stuck on the weird engineered firmware where it only charges up to 80%. Towards the end when you flash the BL File if I can remember you will get stuck in a boot. Luckily I am experienced and managed to recover my verizon s8 to stock with some samsung files I managed to find that were the latest (with odin program given in the other folder). Long story short, don't even bother unless you want to waste like 2 days and stressing out over a bricked s8. Every when I recovered it I had to flash to BL file again since even then it was stuck in a boot mode where verizon logo would only show
I have Samsung Galaxy Note 3 SM-N900A version 5.0 and I’ve been trying to root it for awhile now. No luck at all and I’m fairly new to all of this stuff. From what I’ve gathered, it isn’t possible to root it since the boot loader is locked. However, if we can downgrade it, it would be. This is where I would need help step-by-step. I’d prefer that someone could live chat with me or call just to make sure I get every step right and if I have questions, I could get them right away to ensure I get everything done right. Thanks!

Dr. FONE doesn’t work. I think it has to do with my bootloader and I need to downgrade mine to 4.4.2 KitKat version.
The first line of the thread says:
"You can now root your AT&T Note 3 running stock Lollipop (OC1) in less than ten minutes (it rooted mine in six)
With just a few clicks this method will root and also install the real SuperSu on your Note 3."
OC1 ROM is Lollipop which is 5.0.
