Soft Bricked i545 - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4

Hey Guys I have a Verizon S4 I am attempting to help a friend with he completely bricked it. Now only accessible option is ODIN Mode. I have tried 4 different versions of ODIN and 6 different tar files including the full wipe and everytime ODIN fails. I'm completely lost I personally have a L720 Sprint S4 and things are a little different but I cannot figure out anything to get this phone booted.
This is all I see.
ODIN Mode
Product Name: SCH-I545
Current Binary: Samsung Official
System Status: Custom
Knox Kernel Lock: 0x0
Knox Warranty VOID: 0x0
CSB-CONFIG-LSB: 0x30
Write Protection: ENABLE
Okay so Im assuming this phone either had the OTA Update and is on a Knox Bootloader. Like I said I don't care how I have to go about getting this phone booted any suggestions would help. I have bricked my L720 before and never had problems like this.
Thanks in Advance.

Would anyone be willing to help me? This is my Odin Log, no matter what I try to flash. This is what happens.

are you trying to load stock ME7 on the device? if so and the device had a different version on it such as MJ7 you cannot go backwards and the odin flash will fail, try flashing stock MJ7 on the device and see if that helps

If I'm not mistaken, the "Knox Warranty Void" flag showed up in MJ7, so you need to flash MJ7. Your log shows you flashing ME7, which is not going to work. The bootloader will not allow you to downgrade.
No-wipe and full-wipe images for MJ7 are available in the Android Development forum.

If you have a Verizon Note 2 which is SCH-i605 then I can tell you why Odin isn't working. You flashed a bootloader for the GT-N7100.

You see all those files that say N7100. That is for a different phone. Not the i605. That is why your phone isn't working. There are a couple of ways to fix the problem in the general section of this forum for the Verizon note 2. I just don't have the time to find them. Also there is mobiltechvideos which I believe can fix this problem for a fee.

Ah, my phone starts up and said n7100 so that's where the confusion lay. I already have my replacement phone and all is well.
I was having serious restarting randomly problems with the old phone and it needed to be RMA'd anyway so no biggy. Thanks for all your help.

HELP Unbrick Galaxy S4

​I tried to install cm on to my rwc sgh-1337m but it failed halfway through the download so i then tried to reflash and older 4.2.2 rom that i know worked on this device before but this time I kept getting fail(auth) in odin (3.07 & 3.09). I tried a different rwc sgh-i337m rom it didn't fail but it got stuck on the samsung splash screen the last time I tried to reflash I checked nand erase all (I read a couple sources that said it might help) but that did nothing. Before I tried to put cm on I had root with kt sgs4 kernel and stock touchwiz. Any suggestions there's still a year contract with rogers on this phone so I obviously don't want to have a bricked phone.
if this helps the roms I tried to flash were:
I337MVLUAMDJ_I337MOYAAMDJ_I337MVLUAMDJ
I337MVLUEMK6_I337MOYAEMK6_I337MVLUEMK6
I also still have the kernel is not seandroid enforcing and warranty bit kernel in the top left when booting.

[Q] Flashed wrong bootloader

So my friend asked me to try to fix his phone (no really, it's not mine).
He had an old i605 that he wanted to use on Tmobile. He had it rooted with with a custom rom (Jedi X) installed but was having difficulty getting LTE or HSPA. He decided to flash the MK7 modem for the t889, which has resulted in a soft brick.
So, this is where I'm at. I have been trying to flash the stock firmware over ODIN but I keep getting a write error. I can only boot into download mode, can not get into CWM which was installed previously. I can not boot into the Rom either.
Here is the log from ODIN:

I've tried pretty much everything that I can think of. I read in another thread to try to flash the same file over and over without clearing or closing ODIN, but that didn't work. I've been reading all day, attempting to find different stock packages to flash, all with no success. I've tried to flash a new PIT file; you name it, I've tried it. I'm concerned that it will need a JTAG fix. I'm hoping that I'm missing something simple ... or complex, I don't care at this point. Hopefully we don't have to send it for a JTAG, but if we do, then we will.
If anyone has any suggestions, please send them my way.

[Q] I545VRUGOC1 - FAIL! (Auth) During Root

Helo there XDA. I joined the site today because I have a difficult problem that I am working on.
I have the Verizon Galaxy S4 phone running Lollipop 5.0.1, build number I545VRUGOC1.
I have tried to root my phone using motochopper, towelroot, KingRoot, and many others with no luck. I have also tried to flash custom pre-rooted I545VRUGOC1 firmwares. Also no luck.
This is the consistent error that Odin throws me every time:

After many attempts at installing custom firmwares, flashing roms, using rooting tools, etc, my phone now says:

I just need to root my galaxy s4. I do not care whether my phone is lollipop, kitkat, whatever. If downgrading is what must be done to root then that is fine I just need to know what is going on.
Thanks,
Eveno
You could have saved all that time by doing a simple search first. There is no downgrading or rooting once you're on the factory OC1.

If I understand you, U've tried two different firmware and they fail at different lengths.
Okay try flashing any custom recovery, I'd prefer Twrp. Try booting to recovery. If it boots lemme know.
It is not possible to install TWRP on the AT&T i337 S4.
Are you sure? I'm pretty sure there's a twrp recovery for the i337 except u are not keen with the search button. Im not sure if I'm allowed to post links, so I'd suggest you search through google u are sure to get one.
Oh, I'm familiar with the search function. I've been searching special topic forums ever since forums were created years ago. Newer bootloaders for the i337 are locked down solid. I think I would pee myself for joy if someone came up with a way to load a custom recovery for the i337 with the OK3 build. From what I get, there's nothing you can do once you have NB1 or newer.
OK if that's the case, get a mk3 rom, unpack the tar and remove the aboot file, (if it's a 4file repair fw, just don't add the aboot.) decompress the mk3.tar with 7zip remove the aboot repack it and flash via Odin.
