Flashing - Set Warranty Bit : Kernel (on Galaxy S5 SM-900w8)

Hello folks,

I tried following a root/flash tutorial online. This was my first experience. I have a Samsung Galaxy S5 SM-G900w (canadian version). I was running Marshmallow stock.
Rooted phone using Odin.
The tutorial called for recovery using Philz recovery, but it seemed it was outdated or updated, so I tried using Cyanogenmode Recovery.
After rebooting, I used what I believed to be close enough to the next step: Wipe data and erase everything option.
After that, I did not have a 'install from sd card' sort of option and ended up with a reboot of the phone.

At this point, I have option for ODIN or recovery mode. I can point to the SD card or adb.
Each time I try to point to a ROM using SD card option it fails to validate the signature and I cannot complete it. I have tried using different ROMs to no avail.

When I power on the phone normally I get the Samsung Galaxy S5 screen powered by Android with the following in top-left corner of the screen, yellow font.
"Set Waranty Bit: kernel"

By all means I am a newb here.

Would anybody mind lending a hand to get me headed in the right direction? Would like to try using a Cyanogen mod 13 ROM to start.

Kind Regards,

Lonely without a phone
