Help?! Samsung Galaxy S4 Won't Boot. - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4

I made the mistake of rooting my phone with KingUser Root. Not Kingo, but the one you can "root" without a PC. At any rate, when the latest Pokemon Go update came out I was unable to play. I tried unrooting with the King software, but it failed. So I tried a method I found online to installe SuperSU over King and then attempted to unroot it with its proprietary software...only to have my phone soft brick and at first it would only boot to the Verizon Splash screen...
So, I downloaded ODIN, downloaded the appropriate files or so I thought and attempted to flash to recover it. Now it won't boot past "Software Updated Failed: please run VZW Software Update Repair Assistant" and that doesn't work either... any tips as to what I can do? I can still use download mode, but recovery mode won't load.
It's the 16 GB VZW SCH-I545 version.

It got stuck here:

I have not been able to flash anything with odin and I suspect there is something in the phone rolling back and changes odin does. I really would like to get this phone working (current rom works but cant connect to wifi). Ive used guides like this one and I have not had any luck so far.

Tried installing TWRP using TWRP manager app and bricked phone!

Hi xda,
Recently I rooted my phone (sm-g925w8 Rogers) using the modified kernel method. Then I tried installing TWRP using the TWRP manager app however this failed and caused my phone to enter a bootloop.

-Vatsal
How about you try to format+downloading the any compatible "Full Rom"
Preferred Stock Rom
NVRAM already back up
............
Ready with your SP Flasht tool best ver 5.xxxxxx
Stock Rom by meant of SP Flashtool
Make sure you have Vcom+USB driver in your PC
Even though it is in a boot loop
Just get your self ready...ie: Rom scatter uploaded into SP Flash
When ever loop cycle end JUSt PLUG IN YOUR EVERREADY unit
Hopefully it will be detected.

Try smart switch emergency recovery
Also do u have the same firmware as ur bootloader if not this can cause odin to fail
U could also try flashing just the stock recovery img with odin
I just had this problem now i download samsung smart switch.
1. Install smart switch
2. Click more you will find emergency software recovery.
3. Then it click device initialization.
4. Enter your phone model no that starts with sm.
5. Then ur sn no that is in the box.
6. Enter both and it will start searching and show the steps and u will get the official os for your phone.
Pls note data will be erased.

[HELP!] Upgraded to 6.0.1 and cannot downgrade back to 5.02 or 5.1.1

I stupidly upgraded last night and wasn't completely ready to but did it anyway and I want to go back. I have G925T - T mobile S6 EDGE.
I keep trying to flash the stock rom via Odin and it keeps failing with a binary error. I know I have the correct stock firmware "G925TUVU1AOCG". Tried it while rooted, using smartswitch to put back stock 6.01 and nothing works any suggestions?

Anybody???
AFAIK if you updated the bootloader, it will not allow you to downgrade the bootloader again.
Because the stock firmware includes a new bootloader, ODIN tries to flash it, fails and aborts.
Flash a custom ROM instead, if you want to get Android 5 back again.

Odin fails to flash stock rom onto S3

I'm having trouble with flashing the stock rom for the Samsung Galaxy S3 on Odin, as I get a fail everytime I try to flash the rom onto my device.
This comes up everytime I try to flash:

The model number is a GT-i9300, and no stock roms so far have succeeded.
I have used Odin 3.07 and Odin 3.09, my samsung drivers are up to date and Odin still fails to flash the rom.
I've also tried different usb cables, along with trying out different ports, none of them have worked.
On the S3 it's currently running TWRP version 3.0.2-1, it also asks me whether or not I keep it "System Read only" whenever I go in recovery mode. And each time I always choose the option of keeping it read only. I don't know if these has anything to do with Odin failing to flash the rom but might as well mention it. I was also running CyanogenMod13 for roughly a month before the brick happened.
Any help would be appreciated !

Hi, after NAND Write Start!! and this double !! means it start to WRITE on your Device Flash Memory when this fails it means that the cable dont transfer correct data / Cable Connection OK but wrong cable cannot write correctly on your device
I recommend you to use Original cable when flashing or a other cable but look for the compatibility to devices:good:
as far as I know it cant be a other opportunity to fix this because in the Download Mode of the s3 is the only way to Flash Original Firmware when this fails i dont now how to continue and i cannot help you more than that
And sry for my bad as fu** English
