I have tried almost every version of Odin as well as every version of stock firmware I can find and no matter what, the update fails with "FAIL(Auth)" message in Odin. I can consistently get the phone back into the code recovery screen but the Home+Up Volume+Power button starts a "Software Update loop". No matter which version of firmware I try or version of Odin, it fails with that message. I think it is because the boot loader is locked etc from AT&T...but is this thing just bricked and I should pitch it? Spent too long messing with it and it it is garbage that is fine. At the moment if I try to let the phone boot it starts with "Recovery Booting" and then the robot with System Updating just looping. Thanks for any insight or help.

Reflash version 4 binary firmware for ATT
Also this is wrong forum. You need to ask in the G935A/snapdragon variant forums.

Thanks. I will check for that forum although I could not find it with a search. Also, I believe I tried the original Marshmallow binary, which I assume is what you are referring to with the same results.

You can only flash binaries which were already installed on phone prior or higher version.
If you could tell me your previously working binary code, I may give you the link to download and flash it. But since your phone is bricked you can only see that info in download mode. So send a screenshot of your download mode.

I would like to tell you that I don't own these links, and I can't guarantee for their safety. All I know is that I'm giving you the correct binary firmware. ATT firmware isn't available widely. So these links are from lesser known sources. Proceed at your own risk.

Ok here is a simple tutorial for any new to this tab stuff like I was yesterday.
I take no credit for this just wanted to help compile an easy solution.
It is so simple once you figure it out.
First download Odin v1.7 here unzip it and stick it on your desktop,
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=478059&d=1293895557
Then download these files.
http://files.deodexed.com/ModADroid-Galaxy-Tablet/Rotohammer/JME/
These zips need to be unpackaged to get to the .tar files. Pay attention as Winrar will see .tar as a .zip too. (read the file extensions or you can't select them in Odin.) Stick the 3 files (pit, modem,FmInsSD) into a folder on your desktop. (You no longer use the "Jme-hidden" file shown in the pic.)
Attach your tab to your computer, if you have windows 7 the drivers will be installed for you. If you don't you'll need to get them from here.
http://downloadcenter.samsung.com/c...G_USB_Driver_for_Mobile_Phones_v1.3.350.0.exe
launch Odin v1.7(if you get an error about some missing .dll file then you need to install the Microsoft .Net framework)
It should look like this once configured correctly:
MAKE SURE BEFORE YOU ADD YOUR FILES-THE TAB IS PLUGGED IN-YOU WILL HAVE A YELLOW COM BOX CIRCLED IN THE PIC IF IT IS CORRECTLY CONNECTED AND READY TO FLASH.
ALSO YOU MUST HAVE A BIG TRANGLE ON YOUR TAB WITH A DIGGING ANDROID (to do this power up the tab while holding down the down volume button)
Looks like this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
LOAD THE FILES AS SHOWN IN THE PIC THEY ARE CIRCLED IN RED
MAKE SURE REPARTITION IS CHECKED THE OTHER BOXES ARE CHECKED BY DEFAULT-LEAVE THEM HOW THEY ARE.
ONLY IF YOU HAVE EVERYTHING DONE. (DOUBLE CHECK)
HIT START
Do not touch anything or use your computer it takes about 5 mins to reboot your tab to the kies sync screen.
your done enjoy!
HIT ME SOME THANKS IF THIS WORKED FOR YOU.
Nice work.
You might want to specify that this is for gsm only as many may not be aware.
I on sprint so I guess I have to wait but it's good too see this kind of work being put out there.
Thanks

Where did you get the jme-hidden.tar? I found the hidden.pit from your link but no hidden.tar.
Oh...and what is the difference between v1 and v2?
Hi Guys,
I'm from austria and have only one question: since i have flashed my tab to jm6 and higher, the bootloader is protected and it's not possible to go back to stock (in my case: hutchinson 3g austria).
now i have flashed to roto's jme, it work very fine! but he's writing, that's possible to go back to t-mobile stock (usa), no matter the bootloader was signed (protected) before flashing or not.
is there also a way to go back to others stock arround the world??? or is it only possible for t-mobile usa-users? thanks a lot!

I doubt it. You either flash custom firmware and enjoy it, or sit in front of your computer hoping/waiting for Kies to update you
I think XDA has provided way more updates than Kies so far.
sorry, i am not able to find the CMC file, where can i download it ?

+1 to Roto's answer. Kies reads your firmware version when you connect the Tab and will only offer you an update if it recognises that there is an upgrade available for the firmware it sees on your Tab. This generally means that if you have flashed pre-release firmware which has development / test codes it won't offer you any of the official production upgrades (or any upgrades usually!). It is possible to fake your Tab's signature in Kies to make it flash official releases over dev/test firmware, do a search on the Samsung Galaxy S forums for how to do this.
Don't think so. So far kies have give me 2 updates. It work amazingly. Now is smother. Just my opinion.

Yup i did just the same last night. It solved my problem. There is a thing called cygnus terminal which can run splitfus2 (splitfus2 is actua;;y a linux based software so cygnus helps it run on windows). It splits the .tar.md5 into three parts which can be used to flash thru ODIN. Heres the link to the tutorial. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=25130011. It contains a tutorial video too which shows exactly how to do it.
U can download stock roms from either samsung-updates.com or sammobile.com
Thanx:good:
PS: while downloading cygnus DONT download the 64-bit version coz it doesnt have support for md5. go for the 32-bit one.

Hello Arnab, Recently I am facing the same problem, My Phone is working fine but I am unable to flash anything with cwm recovery. I had installed hathyon ROM 1.1 and Compact kernel 1.3.
Is this due to Compact kernel 1.3.??
Which kernel are u using now? (I guess 1.25 should be fine.)

If you have already taken the OTA to MJ5 then you are out of luck. The MJ5 Bootloader is different and will not allow you to downgrade in any way shape or form.
I uploaded it to mediafire mega if anyone wants it.

Now that sammobile has released the MI9 software I believe you can use kies to do an firmware upgrade and initialization. Which will actually downgrade MJ5 to MI9. You'll have to:
-open kies 3 without phone connected
-click on tools - firmware upgrade and initialization...
-type in all caps SM-N900A click ok
-type in the serial number
-put phone into download mode (hold home + volume down + power on)
-plug phone into PC
-click accept and continue without saving
No I haven't tried this yet. But the firmware is in kies now I can see.

As far as I know you can't downgrade MJ5 back to MI9 (you will get an error along the lines of "Fused 2> Binary 1")

Why is it worth downgrading to MI9? are there any exploits we can use?

Sorry for this rant I'm about to make.
Grrrrrr this effin bootloader schmoder crap! I've used kies for years with my note 1. I've soft bricked it a bunch of times. Kies made me feel safe that as long as I could get into download mode, I could recover with it. Now it's worthless. I don't blame Samsung, even though they are the ones that make kies. I blame Att for requesting samsung to lock the bootloader. It's all their fault. We need someone with a bootloader unlock leak, instead of a kit kat software leak!

For some reason sammobile is acting up on me. The link you posted, and the mi9 link don't work for me. Can you try and post another link please? I'm hoping the site is messing up because they are updating it.

I used Google Search to find this link yesterday. However, I was unable to open the page due to login issue. Today, I can view the page. But I could not find N900AUCUBMJ5 firmware there. So disappointed.

That site doesn't seem very trustworthy. Is it a known source?

I don't really know. But that's the ONLY site I could find MJ5 restore files on. And also the Sizes for AP, BL etc look right.

Were you rooted or just on plain old stock?
Best way I know to fix is via a PC, using Odin to load stock firmware from Verizon.
Or, you may be able to get a company Verizon store (not a verizon reseller) to reflash it.

It's on a Un- rooted stock Verizon 4.4.4. Going to Verizon probably out the question, finished contract and went to net 10. I can get phone in download mode (volume down, power, home button) I tried Odin but it failed also. But I may have been doing something wrong. Not real knowleable on these things. Does anybody have a link to stock Verizon 4.4.4? Another thing, my pc is not recognizing my phone now also.

You can get stock 4.4.4 from www.sammobile.com, you have to join to download firmware, but it's free.
They also have a link for Odin and how to use it.

Odin does work... Apparently you don't.
I can't read your mind... Tell me what you did and tell me if you enabled usb debugging and what version of Odin and which "slot" you put the firmware and if you have unzipped the firmware so odin sees a xxxx.tar.md5 file

I wasn't getting smart... The comment "odin doesn't work" means nothing just like " I got it to work" means nothing.
Other people can't read your messages and learn anything, or give you any advice.
If you had said... I tried xxx and got this error yyy then someone reading your post can suggest changes to what you are doing.
If you had said... I now did this instead and it worked... Then some other user could read your post and learn perhaps how to solve their problem all by themselves.

This is what you said.
(Odin doesn't work....Apparently you don't.).That's making a smart remark at me.
Its no problem.
How I got it to work was to use the stock 01 lollipop Rom not the 06.I think that's what you call them.

I stumbled across this file on the net and thought I would give it a spin.
I was on Firmware N910VVRU2CPF3 dated June 2016
I flashed the "Combination file" using Odin 3.10.7
COMBINATION_VZW_FA44_N910VVRU2APB1_VZW2APB1_2932719_REV00_user_mid_noship_MULTI_CERT.tar.md5
I then flashed N910VVRU2BPA1 firmware from here
It worked and now I am on 5.1.1
I wanted to go lower but, because of the Binary being fused at 2, I was unable.
Perhaps someone can find a way to get back to 4.4.4 with this so we can root with CF Auto Root.
For those that might be confused on how to use this..
1. Place your phone in Download mode
2. Open Odin on your PC, select the AP button, and then select the combination file that you just downloaded..
3. After install the phone will reboot and it will be in a Factory repair or test mode.. feel free to tinker and explore.
4. Power off your phone and go back to download mode.
5. Go back into Odin and flash your desired firmware which would be 5.1.1 and above.

I'm pretty sure you can just use the BPA1 firmware to downgrade without flashing the "Combination file".

Perhaps ?
I have seen several warnings not to take any updates past a certain date on Android 6.0.1, otherwise you cannot go back, as the newer firmware prevents any downgrading in lieu of "security patch".
The Combination file enables you to install any firmware or newer than its specific binary.
In running this you will notice a bare bones KitKat 4.4.4 AOSP UI.
The Binary is fused for loading only firmware that includes KNOX, as it was first introduced as of 5.1.1 for the SM-N910V
Which is my belief why it is such a secret to go back.

unnecessary ! you can flash back to lollipop(5.1.1 bpa1) with Odin without the need of this binary and Knox hit the scene on jellybean final bud (4.3)
@mojoswagger1980
Please show me 4.3 firmware for the SM-N910V
The Verizon Note 4 Jumped from 4.4.4 to 5.0.1 then to 5.1.1
Per Samsung the update from 5.0.1 to 5.1.1 installed Knox on the SM-N910V.
This Binary is very useful ..
But glad to know you don't like that I posted it.
Lol the sm 900v (note3) premiered on 4.3 essentially the same phone seriously. For the record you said Knox kept us from downgrading as of lolipop I then corrected that statement with mine . device model firmware doesn't apply given that Knox was universaly added to all android devices at that time
I downgraded successfully using BPA1 from the newest firmware just this last week. No issues or conflicts and rerooted/bootloader unlocked...easypeasy
please elaborate

Check to make sure you are not using a USB3 port. I always have issues with USB3.
Those of you that have downgraded back to 5.1.1. I have a question for you.
While on 6.0.1, did you have problems with your GPS with it losing signal? IF SO, did downgrading back to 5.1.1 solve this problem?
I've been having problems with my GPS for quite awhile now and I can't figure out if the problem is related to 6.0.1, loose screws or oxidation of the contacts inside of my phone.
Know what? I think all my laptop usb are usb3. I'll try my older laptop and let you know
i needed a pit file for the note 4 vzw i added that and erased the partition via odin and now im flashing 5.1.1 no errors this time

GPS Signal I believe is hardware related and I have that problem as well..
This appears to be the most feasible approach to fixing it and I will be attempting this shortly as it is not the same phone model but possibly the same cause for the issue.

Trying to downgrade as well and having the same issues.... cannot flash anything without it failing. The only firmware that worked was the combination one and nothing else. Please help! Thanks!
