Hello everyone. I am new to rooting and was working on rooting a Samsung Galaxy s5 sport yesterday.
I was able to successfully root it and flashed cwm onto it with Odin3, and was able to launch to recovery.
Next, I attempted to flash xposed framework, which caused the phone to boot to the sprint spark screen and get stuck (not a boot loop).
I attempted to flash stock firmware to the phone, but it failed each time, so I tried to erase all content and restore to factory settings with cwm, but even though it said it worked each time it would still boot to the sprint screen and then get stuck. Now, it doesn't even go to the sprint spark screen and stops at the Samsung galaxy s5 sport screen.
I can boot into both cwm recovery and bootloader, so odin is still an option. I tried flashing the stock 5.0 firmware onto the phone, which is what it ran on originally, but same fail in odin as follows:
<OSM> Enter CS for MD5..
<OSM> Binary Check MD5.. Do not unplug the cable..
<OSM> Please wait..
