Restoring stock ROM to S5

Hi,
I'm selling my S5 so I need to remove the ROM that installed from this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2732110
and return to stock. Can someone point me to instructions for this process?
Thanks.

Stock ROM for the model number of your device
Odin3 tool.
Samsung Kies or Samsung mobile driver.
Charged rooted or non rooted Samsung galaxy S5.
USB cable and Windows PC
Backup your important data before flashing, in case of this process corrupt your data. [important in downgrading] Download stock ROM file (make sure you download the right FW for your phone's model number) from SamMobile or Samsung-Updates and unzip it only one time (the extracted firmware file has *.tar.md5 extension). Download and install Samsung Kies or Samsung mobile driver (Link below) Download Odin3 tool and unzip it (Link below) Close Samsung Kies and disconnect any device connected to USB ports of your computer.
Run "Odin3" as administrator.
Click on PDA button (AP if you are using Odin3 v3.09) and navigate to the *.tar or *.tar.md5 firmware file (it will take a few second to check firmware file, if you are using Odin3 v3.09).
- If the Zip file contains more than one *.tar file then they will be labeled with PDA, Phone and CSC. Put them in the corresponding section of Odin3
Shut down your device and make sure it's completely off. Put your device into download mode by pressing and holding (Volume Down + Home + Power) buttons then Press Volume up to continue.
Connect your galaxy S5 to PC using USB cable and wait until you get a sign in Odin (ID:COM section) and "Added" in message box. Make sure re-partition is NOT MARKED[very important]
Click Start and wait a few minutes until you see "RESET" or "PASS!".
If your device stuck in bootloop, factory reset it from recovery mode.
Instructions were taken from wolfdroid, i followed them an installed the stock rom on my s5.

Tuto : install Galaxy S7 Nougat firmware

Your dreams are now reality!
You can install Nougat easily on your Galaxy s7 edge!!
1)Download Odin 3.12.3 .zip file and run/open Odin3 v3.12.3.exe file from the extracted files on your PC.
2)Download the Nougat firmware for your device from the downloads section above, and unzip the .zip file to get the files starting with AP, CSC, Home_CSC, BL and CP in the beginning of their name.
3)Enable OEM unlock on your phone:
Go to Settings » About phone » and tap Build number seven times to enable Developer options.
4)Go back to main Settings page, scroll to bottom and select Developer options from there.
Under Developer options, look for Enable OEM unlock checkbox/toggle and enable it.
5) Boot your device into Download mode:
Switch off your device.
Press and hold “Home + Power + Volume down” buttons for a few seconds until you see a warning screen.
Press Volume Up on the warning screen to accept it and boot into Download mode.
6) Once your device is in download mode, connect it to the PC with a USB cable. The Odin window on PC should detect the device and show an “Added!!” message.
7) Now we’ll select each firmware file (from files we got in Step 2 above) into the appropriate box in Odin.
Click on CSC tab and select the firmware file starting with HOME_CSC in its name.
└ Note: Do NOT select the regular CSC file that starts with CSC in its name, as that would replace your CSC and thus would result factory data reset of the device.
Click on CP tab and select file starting with CP in its name.
Click on BL tab and select the file starting with BL in its name.
Click on AP tab and select the file starting with AP in its name.
└ Note: DON’T play with any other options on Odin the screen. You’re only required to connect your device and select the firmware files as instructed above.
Click the Start button on Odin and wait for it to finish the process. Once it has finished successfully, you’ll see a pass message on the Odin screen.
8) Your device will automatically reboot when Odin is done flashing. You can then disconnect your device.
└ It might take some time for the first boot after flashing a stock firmware.
That’s it. Your Galaxy S7/Galaxy S7 Edge is now rocking Android Nougat update.
9) enjoy

Unbrick S7 Snapdragon After trying to go back to stock VIA Odin

Behold The Thread to solve your S7 Snapdragon Issue
- I have dealt with Odin errors for the last few days. Name as many as you can I've probably had it. The main issue is when people try to unroot by flashing stock ROM the phone will lock up (Soft Brick). This has happened to me many times in many different scenarios. Whether it presents itself with an eMMC error or any Fused Binary problems etc.
- Heres how to fix it.
- Unfortunately I am not allowed to post links yet but as soon as I can I will add them.
- Dowload your Stock firmware for your device.
- Download the S7 Snapdragon Root .tar for snapdragon
- Download the latest Odin Prince Comsy here
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1.) Put your S7 into download mode by holding: Home + Power + Volume Down until you see a warning. Accept it.
2.) Go to the Modified Prince Cosmy Odin and open it up
3.) Grab the s7 Qualcomm .tar file from the root file you downloaded earlier and put it in the AP slot on Odin.
4.) Go to options on Odin and select: Nand Erase All, RE-Partition, Auto Reboot and F. reset time.
5.) Plug your S7 into your computer using a charging cord that is data transfer capable.
6.) After you see a blue or green box in Odin and see your device has been connected hit start
7.) After flashing the .tar root image. Put your phone back into download mode just like before and go back to Odin. (Make sure not to extract the zips inside the extracted USA ROOT zip.)
8.) Hit reset on Odin and go to options and select: Nand erase All, RE-Partition, Auto Reboot and F. reset time.
9.) Fill in BL, AP, CP, and CSC with your phones stock firmware and then select start. If all goes well it should restore your S7 to working condition.
- Make sure to extract all the downloads before you begin -
