Question

Android System Recovery <3e> ????

by Dec 1, 2015 1:38AM PST

I tried to root my samsung galaxy s5 model: SM-G900V with the directions on this page
http://androidbiits.com/root-verizon-samsung-galaxy-s5-sm-g900v-android-4-4-4-kitkat/
I got to step 6 and now my phone says Android system recovery <3e>
These are the options it gives me
reboot system now ---- i have tried this one
apply update from ADB
apply update from external storage
apply update from cache
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache partition
reboot to bootloader---- i have tried this one
power down ---- i have tried this one
view recovery logs

The options I have tried just turn my phone off and back on and bring me back to the same screen with the same options. I have no clue what to do and I'm freaking out. I'm a dumby when it comes to this stuff, so anyone who could give me step by step instructions would be a life saver.

How about: wipe data/factory reset? That might bring you back to the state it was in when you bought it.

Might get lucky here but for the most part it would be best to go where the experts are.
