Galaxy S4 I545 - Soft Bricked



This is my first here. I've lurked for quite a while and used many of the write ups to root and mod previous phones, but I really screwed the pooch on this one and am in a bind that I don't know how to repair.

I was attempting to install xposed. Sadly I did not install a custom recovery on this phone as I figured I would be fine and I had a second i545 just in case....missing the fact that it was a requirement. However when I flashed the phone it ended up soft bricking and goes into an infinite boot where it gets stuck at the Verizon load screen.

I have attempted to reset it. I've attempted to use ADB to connect and disable it yet can't connect to the phone, and I have tried to reflash 5.0.1, which is what the phone was running, via Odin and it will not flash, only giving me an Auth failure.

So I'm at the point now where I need to get it back into working condition. I know there has to be a way but I am not skilled enough to do this. I'm hoping for a little help to get this little fella working again.

I appreciate any and all input!

I545 with OC1 stock recovery (so i assume it was OC1 before)
with safestrap (can access with NC5 kernel)
tried install :Albe95 S6 Full PORT and stang5litre
used the: oc1 guide

Code:


If you are coming from any OC1 Rom.
1. Use NC5Flasher to flash the NC5 Kernel and reboot.
This will boot you straight into SS.

[Q] Two phones randomly stopped booting (I337 and i545)



I'm asking here because I figure the issue is either device specific or bootloader specific (since both of mine have locked bootloaders). Both phones were/are rooted. Neither phone had any system changes before they stopped working. Both phones ran out of battery power then refused to boot afterward (pure black screen, no USB interaction).

Does anyone have an idea of what might be going on here? Both phones went down within one month of each other despite having had completely different usage patterns (one wasn't used at all for most of its life, the other was my primary phone).
