Download the stock, Samsung firmware for your model of phone and CSC code and flash it via Odin, using the instructions, links and video in #1.11 of 35 Galaxy S5 models - know yours???

If you are having, "trouble", after rooting you should first try wiping the cache partition, as per #1.3 of S5 Lollipop Update Problems - Dummies Guide as that can solve a lot of post rooting problems.

To, "Brick", a phone means that you have fried the motherboard and it will not even power on.

i did a factory reset and seems ok,but i want to install the original samsung firmware,how would i do this?

As per the first paragraph of my previous post. All the instructions and a, "How to", video are there.

i went into that but can't see the link for firmware,ok maybe not brick but the only thing that was happening was a black screen with lots of message like s voice has stopped working, but for everything

Do a Factory Data Reset beforehand. See #2.3 of S5 Lollipop Update Problems - Dummies Guide You can also do a Full Wipe by including #2.4

 

[steveohim]

when do i do the factory reset?after I've installed the original samsung firmware, won't it be already factory reset?

As per my previous post...

Do a Factory Data Reset beforehand.

Samsung stock firmwares are, "No wipe", which means you don't lose your apps and settings during updates.
