Hello,
I am having some issues with my S5 G900A (AT&T). Any help I could get in order to get any functionality back out of my phone would be greatly appreciated.
I recently update via OTA to lollipop, but I wanted to get it rooted to try it out. The first thing I attempted to do was to revert the firmware back to 4.4.2 by using Odin. I used three different sources for the G900AUCU1ANCE model, the last of which I got from here, which I found from this post.
However, this did not work, and now I am forever stuck on the firmware update page.
When I ran the Odin program, the program failed and output the following:
<ID:0/007> Odin engine v(ID:3.1005)..
<ID:0/007> File analysis..
<ID:0/007> SetupConnection..

On the phone side, I get the following messages on the screen. The messages that appear after running Odin are bolded.
ODIN MODE

At this point, if I restart by pulling out (the battery), and then turn it back on normally, then I get back to the 'Odin Mode' screen, but with the large message on the bottom: "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again"
This message will appear when the following keypresses are used to turn the phone on:
Volume up + Lock
Volume down + Lock
Lock
Home + Lock
Volume up + Volume down + Lock
Volume up + Lock + Home
The following keypresses don't do anything
Volume up + Volume down
Volume up + Volume down + Home
Volume down + Home
Volume up + Home
Finally, if I do the following keypress:
Volume down + Lock + Home
I get the familiar warning screen:
Warning!!
A custom OS can cause critical problems in phone and installed applications.
If you want to download a custom OS, press the volume up key.
Otherwise press the volume down key to cancel.

If I press the volume down key, then I go back to the same Odin Mode screen with the "firmware upgrade encountered an issue" message from before. If I press the volume up key, then I get the Odin Mode screen (that always stays the same), but with "Downloading... Do not turn off target!!" as the message instead.
I also tried using Samsung Kies, though that method seems to be frowned upon by everyone. It clearly downloaded something and looked like it was installing something, but then it told me that I should run the emergency recovery process using an emergency recovery code. In the alert window, there was clearly a space where an emergency code was supposed to be, but there was no emergency code. Therefore, I was not able to get any farther using Kies.
I have read many posts mentioning that Odin can be very fickle, so I took the liberty of trying using two different USB cables and tried all 4 USB ports that are on my laptop, and I tried each of those three times. I also ensured that Kies and its background processes were not running when I utilized odin.
I also tried re-writing the PIT file, which I found from here, but when I did that, I got
<ID:0/007> Set PIT file..
<ID:0/007> DO NOT TURN OFF TARGET!!
<ID:0/007> FAIL!

In Odin and "SECURE CHECK FAIL : PIT" on my phone window.
After exhaustive googling, I am not too sure of what to do anymore, and would appreciate if someone could help.

2 questions, which error message points out to you that the "bootloader is locked," and does this mean that I would need to take my phone to AT&T to get it serviced?
<ID:0/007> FAIL! (Auth)
Tells me the Secure Boot Key is failing to authenticate
--
From what I've read, AT&T S5s are bootloader locked, as are a few other carrier branded ones
What is actually wrong with the phone? Just that you want to downgrade to Kitkat and root?
Or is there actually something wrong with Lollipop?
It is a very well known fact that after upgrading from KK to LP, you should factory reset the phone, KK leaves behind rubbish files that cause all sorts of issues, resetting cures a lot of them
Oh I see, thanks!
Nothing really wrong with it, I just wanted to try rooting the phone.
Unfortunately the only known method to root Lollipop is via ODIN, but it's still a fairly new OS so never say never about the devs finding an exploit that can be used with a locked bootloader
You cant downgrade from lollipop to kitkat once you take the ota for lollipop, as you can see here. You need to get the oc4(lollipop) firmware files and flash that to unbrick, they are in the att s5 general section.

Thanks, I ended up taking it to best buy and having the guy there reset the firmware. Pretty sure he used something called SMART or something to do it

k well let's start by letting everyone know, I have searched EVERYWHERE! for a fix and i CANNOT find one. This is really fustrating me. I am a noob to these forums but i do have little knowledge when it comes to this kind of stuff.
I recently rooted my Samsung S4 GT-i9505 and i wanted to unroot it back to it's original state, In the process of unrooting i don't know what i have done wrong but i get stuck on a screen "Firmware upgrade encountered.. blah blah, NOW i have tried all means to try and fix this by using Odin WITH the original firmware from which i downloaded from the samsung drivers website. Everytime i try too flash it, It always FAILS. There is a type of firmware i can use "I9505XXUAMDE_I9505TELAMD8_I9505DVUAMD8_HOME.tar.m d5", But this particular one installs SU, Which i don't want, It also causes several features on my phone to stop working. Such a the clock and i can't even use my wifi.. I have tried several times, Over and over to try and fix it through Odin, But it will not budge, I can load the phone to download mode, But can't get past that. I am now stuck on the upgrade issue screen and i am literally stuck on things to do.. Any help will be appreciated as i am in desperate need to have my phone back too working order! I have tried Kies, Installing it uninstalling it, Disabling my firewall.. EVERYTHING.. I am trying to install the original firmware "I9505XXUBMG4_I9505XSABMG1_I9505DVUBMG1_HOME.tar.m d5" But Odin will not let me!!

Hi,
Have you tried a firmware upgrade and initialisation with Samsung Kies?
Insert your phone model (GT-I9505)
Pull out your battery and you see on the battery holding place a S/N code, fill that in.
Reboot in Download Mode and follow the steps.
It takes about 30 - 60min. for the reset.
Hope i helped you.
EDIT: YOU WILL LOSE EVERYTHING ON YOUR PHONE.

Thankyou for your input, I appreciate every little bit of help, Yes i have tried that option, But it fails at around 70%, I even tried reinstalling Kies itself, And the drivers aswell. All with no success.

When Samsung Kies fails, do you get a error message why it has stopped on 70%?

The error comes up with something like "Firmware upgrade failure" Can't remember off the top of my head.
You have new boot loader so you can't flash those older firmwares. If you download the MJ5 firmware from Sammobile it will flash with Odin and you'll be good to go

you need to find the stock files for you device and flash via odin, theres plenty guides of how to use odin, once you have the files its pretty easy, what software was it running originally? 4.2.2? or 4.3?

hey there mate , your having a problem flashing that file because its a 4.2.2 rom and you already have a newbootloader which mean Not possible to downgrade when you have Knox Warranty Void. and you can check this threadto know more about KNOX, so Download and Flash a 4.3 base in your country and you should be fine.Have a nice day.
Edit: You can download a Official rom from here base from your country.

Cannot determine build number and original box long gone. I've downloaded a couple firmware zips from sammobile (Sprint CDMA) using files nearest to best guess for purchase date. Is it necessary to match the exact files which originally came installed or should later firmware releases also normally load? In other words, is the fail due to trying a wrong firmware revision?
Any other info I need to include here? Thanx in advance!

Hello again:
Zero replies, did I omit important information in my first request -- or am I just rehashing previous inquiries about boot loop problems? (I have read through all posts relating to boot loops but found no answers that solved the to write to Nand failures). Forgive me if it's here and I simply didn't recognize it. . .
So (succinctly) why might Odin fail to write when attempting to reload the original firmware: . . . NAND Write Start!! . . . FAIL! (Auth) . . .Complete(Write) operation failed. . . .All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 1)
What might I be doing wrong, or what might I try instead?
Thanks again

Same thing with me.. patience gets you through it..
The same thing happened to me, same phone and same contract carrier (Sprint).
I bought my phone from a third party who apparently restores it to near-mint condition. The OS it had was one of the first releases of 6.0 /marshmallow. I tried downgradingit back to 5 / lollipop because i heard that call recording was still enabled with that OS.
I used Odin versions 3.7 thru 3.10 i believe and flashed every version of 5 that was listed on sam mobile and samsung 's site and all of them either failed to initiate- citing the same readings and failure reasons in odin that you mentioned - or they "succeeded" and resulted in boot loops.
I also failed to flash any of the earlier ROM versions of android 6 than the one my SM-G900P phone came with.
Finally, i succeeded in flashing 2 types of ROMS, the version of 6 my phone started with, then subsequently the most recent version released earlier in march 2017 (this month).
Conclusion: i believe the order that you flash these roms for our model phone with our carrier matters. Flash your phone with ROM images from the version that it came with, and continue sequentially and chronologically until your boot screen finally shows something other than that lovely little sprint logo
Good luck with your son's phone, and please let us k ow how it goes..... as i think this may be a recurring theme we may see more often in the future. I imagine the problem lies with either odin, samsung sm-g900p, or the sprint/cdma ROMa we're dealt.

Have you tried samsung kies yet? Odin is for rooting your phone. Samsung kies will put updated firmware in your phone. I have used it several times in the past on a sam phone. It will work. Its from samsung company.
Hello, so I'm having a huge problem right now, that seemingly came out of nowhere.
My phone is stuck on "Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge" screen logo and can only enter download mode, nothing else.
All I did was download the firmware update that popped up OTA. Something must have failed and I was greeted with a permanent freeze on that part.
The update that I've downloaded was called - G935FXXU1DQB7/G935FSEB1DQB2/G935FXXU1DQB3 with the file size of 1224.14 MB
It has failed once before but it wasn't a brick. Said something about mounting data error in a recovery mode. A day later I've tried to re-download and install the update again and this is the place I'm in right now.
My phone is the European Exynos variant, not sim locked. I'm from Lithuania, but I somehow doubt my model had the Baltics firmware as I don't think the 7.0 is released there yet.
So far I've tried installing stock firmwares from UK, Poland, Baltics region. Both 6.0.1 and 7.0 yield the same results. Different Odin versions. I can confirm that the USB ports work and there is a connection, because flashing a single random .tar file passes and reboots the phone., but does nothing for me (like installing extracted hidden.img.tar). Ends up at the same splash screen.
Every attempt to flash anything has to be with the download mode rebooted or else it doesn't do anything. (Maybe this is normal)
All threads completed. (succeeded 0 / failed 0)
When I flash the AP, BL, CP, after a while (a minute or so) I get a fail without seemingly any progress.
Complete(Write) operation failed
Usually hangs on the recovery.img, depending on what I try to flash.
When I flash CSC, Pit file, or leave a ticked repartition box without including any of them, I instantly get
Re-Partition operation failed.
So naturally this always triggers if I flash all 4 of the items.
I have also tried Smart Switch. The only problem is I currently don't have my S/N number, because some internals and all of the outside of my phone was changed under the insurance, including the back where I believe the number is found, so I've tried S7 Edge S/N number of a friend of mine. I believe our phones are different, because his firmware is from Baltic region (SEB) which doesn't even have 7.0 out. I'll try getting my S/N number through the carrier I bought the phone in. Anyway, Smart Switch throws an error about "Failed to recognize software update mode" after downloading the (SEB region) firmware and stops there. I'm afraid even my own S/N number won't help.
This is what my download mode says

WARRANTY VOID: 0 (0x0000)
RP SWAEV: B:1 K:0 S:0
I feel like all of this mess is caused mostly by the Factory reset prevention lock?
I don't want to trip Knox and void the warranty by installing a custom recovery, which would maybe help me? Does anyone have any ideas? I'm at this for like 10 hours already and desperate. Hope I don't need to give it in. No ability to even turn off the phone, what BS is this...
Can't post images yet, sadly.

greenman from sammobile forums suggests
that "This is looking like you have a damaged emmc. The re-partition should have been successful."
I think we're out of luck on this one. The only strange thing is that we've probably installed the same piece of software that killed it. What are the odds?

Hi guys, I tried to factory reset my phone by flashing the latest firmware. These are the files that I used:
AP_G935TUVSBCTA2_CL14365146_QB28658134_REV02_user_low_ship_MULTI_CERT_meta.tar.md5
BL_G935TUVSBCTA2_CL14365146_QB28658134_REV02_user_low_ship_MULTI_CERT.tar.md5
CP_G935TUVSBCTA2_CP14916856_CL14365146_QB28658134_REV02_user_low_ship_MULTI_CERT.tar

HOME_CSC_TMB_G935TTMBBCTA2_CL14365146_QB28658134_REV02_user_low_ship_MULTI_CERT.tar.md5
I am a noob and I accidentally flashed the HOME_CSC file in the USERDATA section but every other file was in its place. Then after the successful flash, the phone restarted and entered a boot loop with the galaxy s7 and t-mobile logo. Also, I could't boot into recovery. It shows " recovery booting..." and stays there. After that, I tried to flash several different firmware versions but I always get errors like "fw ver check failed" and stops flashing. I only managed to reflash the first firmware again with success but the phone still doesn't boot. Does anyone know what is causing the problem? Am I using wrong firmware? can anyone help on this?
regards

Oops! Very temperamental phone, the bootloader is locked.
You can only flash the same firmware that was on the device before you started but if not the latest G935T firmware should work.
p. s. Factory reset is an option in the settings menu, there's no need to flash new firmware.

I don't know what firmware the phone had installed before. What are my options now? I can't get into recovery menu, only download menu works. Tried already a bunch of different android 8.0 ROMs for g935t but Odin fails to install them. It only works with just one but it goes into boot loop.

If the phone is a T Mobile device you just need to install a T Mobile firmware from sammobile.
This is the latest for your device (and I'm assuming it is a G935 edge?)....

Sammobile is a little slow for non premium members

Fail (auth) means your phone is not in download mode or the firmware file is not in the correct box in Odin.
I think you may be better reading a step by step guide on how to flash firmware.
If you manage to flash and get stuck in a bootloop do the following.
1. No matter what the phone is doing just press volume down+home+power (in that sequence)
2. When the screen goes black quickly move your finger to volume up while still pressing home + power. This will boot you into recovery menu.
3. Choose "wipe cache partition" then "reboot system now"
4. Allow phone to go through the first boot up, it could take 10 minutes just leave it until you get the welcome screen.

When I press volume down+home+power it gets me to a screen says "warning: a custom o/s can cause critical problems bla bla bla..." and underneath it shows these options: 1) Volume up: continue 2) Volume Down: Cancel (restart phone) 3) Home Button: Show Barcode. If I proceed with the 1st option it goes to download mode where I flash with odin. I tried also the combination volume up+home+power with the phone witched off and it shows the message "recovery booting..." on screen with blue text but then it shows the android icon and says" installing system update, then restarts and falls into boot loop again with the samsung logo.

Yes that's fine, just keep trying to get it into recovery, it can take a few attempts for recovery to boot successfully.
The locked bootloader models are a nightmare unfortunately but there's lots of info on the forum about all the different issues and how to resolve.
Sometimes the only solution is to try flash the firmware which was there before you did anything to it eventhough there is a newer version.

I tried a lot of times already but it finally gets to a point that says "no command" with the android icon on top and if I press some times the volume up/down or home it finally gives some error messages and stuck there. It seems to me that the recovery menu is missing completely for some reason and the second problem is I don't remember which firmware version it had exactly before my attempt to flash another.
Anyone? Do I need a pit file to fix this problem?
