sm-g870a soft-bricked + download mode + wont go into recovery



Hi,

So I may have royally boned myself. I had a custom rom installed (alliance rom for s5 running lollipop 5.0). I decided that I didn't want that and was going to move to a different rom but wanted to go back to stock because I didn't make a backup. So I went ahead and downloaded the only stock rom I could find for my device on sammobile which was a 4.4.2 and tried to flash via flashfire.

It will not boot to recovery mode (I do have a restore for the alliance rom on the external sd card I have). The blue flashes in the corner and the goes to odin mode.

When I go to odin to try to flash the stock 4.4.2, it gives me an error sw rev check fail : fused 2 > binary 1 on the phone. Which I have read means that I cant go back to that firmware.
On odin side it gets a fail (auth)/

Next logical step would be flash a lollipop 5.0 stock rom. Well, they are hard to find . So I tried to run a stock rom for a sm-g870w. Which of course gives an error on the phone. I don't have it up now but something like secure check fail: aboot
also on odin gets to the same exact spot and same errors fail(auth)

Please let me know any other info that would help. I am super mad at myself right now.
