no os/smd header failed

Okay i will start from the top. I have a note 3 on at&t that i used towel to root with. I downloaded su, busybox, safestrap,etc. Long story short i didnt back up when i wiped everything and i cannot get safestrap to laod any new rom, it states there is no os on the device. I then tried to use odin to reflash to stock and i get the smd header check failed message. Any help would be appreciated, I have also tried the mj5 recovery found here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2559715&highlight=rev+check+fail) with odin and get the SW REV CHECK FAIL : [aboot]Fused 3 > Binary 2

[Q] Unable to flash Lollipop. Can't install this package on top of incompatible data.

Here's the backstory. Skip to the next paragraph if you don't want to bother reading it. (Phone is GT-I8190N)
Originally, all was well with custom cyanogenmod kitkat from novafusion. I got a USB dac which didn't work with the kitkat I had. Phone freezes upon plugging in. So I decided to go to lollipop.
So I flashed cm12.1_golden.nova.20150627 into the phone with 2.8.0.0 teamwin recovery. (Couldn't update to 2.8.3.0 for some reason. Used Odin. Said PASS! But version stays the same in phone.)
Everything went well, I got lollipop running. I decided to do a reset in android through the settings menu.
Phone restarted and this happened (teamwin splash screen flashes): /watch?v=Wr-dlk7q06A (Newcomer can't post link... This isn't spam but if I really can't put links I'll remove it)
I admit I panicked and did some things I'm pretty sure screwed myself even further so here goes:
Went back to Odin and tried to flash a stock rom onto it. (I8190XXAMJ2_I8190ORGAMJ1_HOME) Unfortunately. I was dumb and didn't realize my phone was GT-I8190N and not GT-I8190. So I got the wrong stock rom.
Odin FAIL! with error stuck on "complete(write) operation failed."
The second time I tried it the error was "There is no PIT partition."
So I did Re-Partition with goldenxx + the stock rom. It errored at "nand write start modem.bin fail complete(write) operation failed"
I did finally realize I got the wrong stock rom. That flashed properly and stock rom is working. Not sure if the PIT thing blew something up. Anyhow, onto the next paragraph where the current situation lies.
So now it's in stock ROM.
I got Odin to flash CWM 6.0.2.7 then I tried to use that to flash the same lollipop I used before. It got the error status 7. Can't install this package on top of incompatible data. No file context detected.
I tried the delete assert line trick. Now CWM gives no error. I don't remember what it exactly said. I think it said Updating. Then installation failed. No specific error.
So I flashed TWRP 2.8.0.0 and tried to flash lollipop again. Again error. Can't install this package on top of incompatible data. Error executing updater in zip.
And that's about it. I have absolutely no clue how to continue this. All help is appreciated! Thank you for your time!

Have you tried flashing a different rom, lp or kk? Also rooting & doing full wipes, maybe jump from stock to lp is too big, I'm not too sure

Problems with marshmallow update. Emergency recovery

Hello all. I'm having some trouble getting my note 5 to work again. I downloaded the new Marshmallow update today from sammobile and proceeded to flash it with odin. After 10 seconds I got the fail red box in odin, disconnected my phone and got this error: '' an error has occured while updating the device software. Use the emergency recovery function in the smart switch pc software''.
So I went ahead and read in a couple of forums and saw that people got their phones working back using Kies. I did that. Entered my model number (sm-n920g) and entered the serial number. Kies then started to download the firmware and the recovery failed. I have no idea what to do really. Should I try using the Smart Switch program instead? Flashing a lollipop one via odin? Or what? I've never had any trouble before flashing stock roms or customs on any of my other phones, so I'm getting a bit frustrated after Kies didn't work. Any recommendations would be gladly appreciated!

I would personally go back and flash the stock lollipop firmware and double check that the marshmallow update you are using is not corrupted. Also, make sure to use twrp 3.0.1 as a recovery. I was having boot loops at first until I discovered the correct recovery file.
Keep us posted

Well the lollipop stock rom failed too. I'm getting an error in the download mode that says SW REV CHECK FAIL. Don't know what it means or how to fix it, but I'm currently not able to flash anything. What can I do??

Please make sure the download is not corrupted or ensure you are using the correct firmware file.

Flash latest stock firmware in odin .
Once odin shows PASS go to stock recovery and do factory reset and wait 15 minutes to boot.
Do you have N910T tmobile note 4 ?
Link below for n910t latest firmware.
Extract the file and flash using odin choose AP

Question Flashing help

I have not flashed a ROM since my ...well a long time.
I am trying to flash ATT rom to my S21U1. Using iBowToAndroid's thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...e-links-and-flashing-discussion-here.4220111/
I keep failing. On the screen it says SW REV Check FAIL: Lab11 Fused 2> Binary 1
Secure Check Fail : abl(6)
Any ideas what I might be doing wrong. I already wiped the phone, restarted numerous times, redownloaded the firmware and am using Odin 3.14.1 that IBow recommended.
