Well, this is a long story!  Time for a word vomit!

So. I bought a blue Samsung galaxy S5, Mint condition. I immediately got TWRP onto it and then lineage os 16 (android 9). But I got bored of it pretty quick. So I installed 18.1 (android 11) , then later android 14 as I found a rom. I wanted to just switch android versions with a click, so I filled up my trusty old 8 gigabyte Samsung SD card with chock FUL of ROMs. Put it into the s5, installed cyanogenmod 14.1, But I forgot to wipe it! You may ask, "Whys that so bad?" Well, Installing a rom DOSNT clear anything, which means it's quite like an update, except in this case it's past the update schedule. So you have to boot into recovery and wipe it to start. Unfortunately, I couldn't enter TWRP. Kinda scared, I tried everything. I gave up, till around 3 or 4 hours later, Odin. I tried flashing TWRP again (same version) Nothing. Older version? Nothing. So I did a full NAND erase via Odin and... It worked! I installed cyanogenmod back on it with wiping it and finally it worked.

Now here's some photos!
