My last post got no attention, so here is my second attempt.
A software update rolled out for my 5.1 Lollipop S5 Active, and since I wasn't really utilizing my root extensively, I decided I'd get rid of it to receive this update. Unfortunately, I didn't do a whole lot of research and decided I should start by uninstalling my SuperSU. After all, it seemed harmless. I then rebooted, and the thing will not surpass the AT&T boot animation.
The symptoms pointed towards a simple soft brick (i.e. gets to animation, recovery and bootloader not locked). However, I have not been able to successfully flash a fresh firmware onto the device with Odin. SamMobile only has one firmware release for this device, and it is the 4.4.2 version. Is this why the file is failing to flash? If so, how can I get around this issue? Thanks in advance!
