Urgent help with Galaxy S5
Alright, I've been dealing with this for 3 days currently. I was on rooted kitkat (4.4.2) I decided I wanted to get rid of the root, and install lollipop (5.0) I removed the freedom app, and all of the rooted apps. And successfully unrooted my phone. I then updated my firmware to 5.0 lollipop. Not realizing that removing freedom would cause my play store to not connect. So I get into 5.0, and the play store isn't working. I fixed the time on my phone, and it still wouldn't work. I've restored my phone to fix it, but still isn't fixed. So I decided to attempt to downgrade my 5.0, to 4.4.2 then re-root it; to fix the google store. And properly remove freedom. Then go back to 5.0. Well every time I try to do anything with Odin3, Odin1, or any versions of the Odin. It fails at Auth. (Yes, reactivation lock is disabled, and so is the lock to get into the phone.) So I tried downgrading it, then I get an error on my phone stating that I need to put my phone in emergency firmware recovery mode on Kies. So I download Kies, but KIES 3.0 doesn't support my phone! So I downloaded Kies 2.6, It is supported, but it wont freaking connect. So I downloaded and installed the drivers from samsung's website. But yet, still wont work. I am unable to get it out of the emergency firmware on my phone, and I'm unable to boot my phone to 5.0. Just shows the screen "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again." But cannot fix it. I'm down to complete loss of hope, and anything would be helpeful. I need to fix this, and I've spent several hours trying to fix it. I also tried restoring my firmware on Kies, but it fails when trying to take me out of emergency firmware mode. My model is the SM-G900A (AT&T)
