[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] rbgCODE:
I am lost and in need of help.

I have been having some serious problems and I think it is just something small I have to be doing. I was running the alliance v10 rom on my samsung galaxy s5 verizon version. Not sure if it matters but one of the times I flashed it all the way back to Android 4.4.2 or at some point I did see the GV-900.05. But anyways I am not able to install cyanogen for the life if me, I have tried so many different things.

1. Heimdall Suite

NO: When I try to transfer the CM recovery file or even a klte version of TWRP I get the error many have gotten which is;

C:\Users\rbg\Desktop\heimdall-suite-1.4.0-win32\Heimdall Suite>dir
Volume in drive C has no label.

2. Using Odin I flash the phone back to 4.4.2 (NCG_Rescue_Tar_And_NCG_For_Root.tar.md5) so that I can quickly use towelroot I download supersu, supersu pro, flashfire & titanium backup pro. I start up supersu and it asks me to update the binary, fixes any issues with knox and I am good to go.

From step 2 I am able to install TWRP then flash NI2_STOCK_KERNEL_FOR_SAFESTRAP.tar.md5 which allows me to reboot into recover. Now I can install other roms without issue, i have redone Alliance like 5 times in the past week. What am I missing?

Once I am rooted and I am in TWRP, I go a factory wipe what should I then be doing? Last time I went in, cleaned and wiped everything then installed the latest CM file that I have (cm-13.0-20160817-NIGHTLY-kltevzw.zip) and then I clear the cache and reboot it into download mode. Now of course the phone will just keep booting into recover because of the kernal I flashed so to fix that I just flash a simple VZW_BOD5_RETAIL_KERNEL_ONLY.tar.md5 to give it a bootable kernel and then I flash the latest modem file () so that everything is all set for the phone to boot but it never does.

It boots and sits on the loading screen for hours if I would let it. I know it has to be something stupid I am missing. I have tried factory reset wiping the cache and each time I let it spend over an hour trying to boot up. I am staring at it right now trying to boot up :-/

PLS PLS Help, I would not ask if I had not tried as I know everyone's time is valuable. :confused:
