Problems booting and rebooting (not consistently) - just updated bootloader to OG5



So, my phone was problem free with the OB7 bootloader /OG5 ROM combination that is fairly common on this forum.

My unhealthy obsession with getting Android Pay to work on my phone led me to update the bootloader to OG5. I used odin and the tar file/instructions found here: "[GUIDE] Not quite newbie guide for moving to 5.1.1
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=3199881 "

Since doing this i have been having consistent problems including:

1 - powering on often goes into a download mode, with an error message, including but not consistently one of the following:
- sbl1 partition doesn't exist
- Kernel panic krait
- mmc_read fail

2 - reboots fail in about half of the attempts , sometimes the phone boots into download mode with an above error, sometimes it just stays powered off

3 - infrequent rom freeze-ups that result in one of the errors above.

I have re-tried the process a couple of times to fix. After the tar, and TWRP, I i have flashed both Hybrid X & Freeza's stockish. Both are terrific when the phone boots properly (except for the freezes mentioned above, but i don't think that they are ROM related.)
I have also tried removing and reformating my SD Card.

I usually get it to boot properly after a couple of battery pulls.

I'm not sure what the problem is and hoping someone wise can help me come up with a fix. Wondering if this related to TWRP, or maybe the updated partitions or some kind of checkdisk situation?

Any ideas?

Many thanks,
