Hi im having difficulty restoring my g900a back to stock. i think i found the stock firmware from zedomax and it works but im still having a problem. on his video he is extracting ONE file but when i download the att firmware there is 4 and im pretty sure i need all the fiels to be flashed. is there a way to do that? here is the file http://galaxys5root.com/galaxy-s5-stock-firmware/
when i unzip there is 4 tar files. i did the biggest one but i think im missing the bootloader, recovery ect. please help anyone ive tried different stock firmwares on xda and all of them just fail. thanks guys.

What method are you using to flash? Odin or safestrap? Do you have safestrap installed?

It might be the actual stock ROM (I didn't check that particular file you mentioned) but in general the stock ROM for this phone comes in four files which begin with the following:
AP, CP, CSC, BL
You can load those in their corresponding spots in Odin (BL in bootloader, and so on)
Or you can head over to sammobile and download the stock firmware, which is a Samsung Kies dump file. This is one giant tar ball ( like the one in the video) which you'll just load into the PDA section of Odin 3.09 and flash away.

When you're clicking on ODIN are you running it as Admin? Also see the guy in the video using a USB 2 cable.

yes i am running as admin. it only works when i only use pda. when i put in the bl and csc and cp is keeps failing. after if flashed the pda file the phone reboots and freezes on the samsung screen. should i try doing it one by one?

it wont work still failing. should i flash one by one?

I did but i cant load it. i only get to the samesung logo and it freezes. only thing i can get into is download mode and the stock recovery. is there a way to boot into safestrap when phone is off? im running out of ideas and ive tried to do it on different computers and cords.

it seems like the bootloader file is the only one not working. do you have any idea? please please please help guys

Don't flash the bootloader and you should be fine

I tried that and it still freezes on Samsung logo. Does anyone have a legit firemware I've tried the ones on here or does anyone know how to get the one from sammobile? Really appreciating the help

Download the G900A_Downgrade_to_NCE.tar from here:
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23622183712464416
Use Odin 3.09 and flash in AP slot. Once it is done then take the OTA for NG3 then OA1

Download the G900A_Downgrade_to_NCE.rar. Unzip and you should get this file "G900A_Downgrade_to_NCE.tar.md5". Now Run Odin 3.09 as admin, and put your phone in download mode. In Odin click on the AP icon and point to the G900A_Downgrade_to_NCE.tar.md5. Wait until Odin finishes loading the file it takes some time. Plug usb cable to your phone while in download mode. Once Odin is ready click start. Wait until Odin is done. Your phone will reboot once the flash is done. Please Thank @muniz_ri for his hard work.

Yea. Prolly should have checked this forum before you went on the journey.

Now, Instead of making sarcastic comments, I will provide some assistance. There is one thing left out of all of these tutes that took me a while to catch on to. As a result, my phone was doing the same thing.
When you follow the downgrade instructions, yes leave out the boot loader. Sometimes, the downgrade doesn't do the job properly, so you'll have to go to this thread, scroll to the very bottom post and you'll see a link for "G900A_NCE_Stock_Modem"
You will need to flash this along with the stock firmware. It should correct the boot issue. (Flash in PDA slot)
Furthermore, you will not be able to update via WiFi OTA. You'll have to download the official update files in .zip format.
Go to this thread for the " G900A_NCEtoNG3_OTA.zip" to update from NCE to NG3.
This next step is optional, but it won't hurt to try it. Go here and grab the stock NG3 modem and recovery. Flash each (one at a time) in the PDA slot.
My personal opinion of the 4.4.4 update is low. There are many issues with it. But if you're trying get the phone completely up to date then:
Go here for the final update.
You should now be set. Please thank @muniz_ri for his unrelenting dedication to helping others.
It is not my intention to be an ass, but you should begin with google, and then search entire AT&T forum before posting questions like this. Chances are, others have had the same problem, asked, and received a solution exactly like this.
Anyways, I hope I was able to guide you in the right direction...
Edit: It seems that both of the update zips are in the OA1 root guide thread.
P.S.
Your phone is from AT&T, right?

Noob question but after I unzip, I use the larger file to flash in Odin correct?

Thanks! I downloaded the zip but i think the file may have gotten damaged. Could someone post the md5 of the file please?

There are 4 files. Each file goes into it's corresponding area in odin. BL into BL, AP into AP and so on, set all 4 files and then install.

So if I wanted to un-root my phone to update it, I would have to use this, to revert to stock?

Yes that's correct

JUST IN CASE - Please be aware this will revert everything back to stock and you will lose all data (just to save us from someone asking in future. hehe)
Again, thank you for providing this to us! I'm stoked I can finally root and stop the new 5.1 update from applying before we know if root exploit will still work. From the looks of reports, we should be seeing it sometime in June.
Now I just wish we could flash some of those AWESOME S6 ROMS I'm seeing. That would be perfect!

Are you freezing the AT&T software update?

I was under the impression that rooting would change ROM status to custom and thus not apply 5.1 OTA when available. Only able to apply 5.1 if you flash these files via Odin and then allow update through OTA.

Thanks for taking the time to help with this issue. that file didnt work, i flashed the G900A_OC4_Stock_Partitions firmware and its at least working again. thanks again to everyone who looked and especially dirtydodge for taking time.

Phone is working again guys but was wondering if anyone knows why it keeps giving me this security notice pop up...says that unauthorized actions have been detected and gives me the option to restart or cancel. Sounds like it has something to do with KNOX from my searching. Trying to solve this without rooting. When i check the KNOX counter in D/L mode it says 0x0. Ive updated firmware and security updates to latest versions and it hasnt helped. Anyone have any pointers? As always any help is greatly appreciated. Searched around the web and xda and didnt find what i was looking for.

@wigglesrewind. Chances are is that the phone is still rooted and that's why your getting the notification. Go to the pay store and download "root checker" and see what it says. Also what is your version & baseband. I'm not sure why the "downgrade to nce" file didn't work for you. It might have been a bad download but you should be able to use it if your still on 0C4.

Thanks again dirtydodge for contributing. I did a check with root checker and it says root is not installed. Also used terminal emulator and get a dollar sign in the terminal, not the hash tag. Any ideas?

I'm not familiar with terminal emulator. The only time I've ever gotten the notification that you talking about is when i have root apps on the phone and certain things aren't froze. But you need to be rooted and have titanium backup to freeze them. What version is on the phone.

Sorry, forgot to add that in the last post...
Baseband version oc4
Kernel 3.4.0
Build number LRX21T.G900AUCU4BOF3
Let me know if you need any other info. Like i said im not very experienced in this
But thanks again for your help. Its greatly appreciated.

Ok well it sounds like your on the latest firmware version. The phone may still have a trace of root somewhere. After you flashed the oc4 Kernel did you do a factory reset. Other than that I'm not sure what to do. But that does explain why you can't use the "downgrade to nce" file. The oc4 build can not be downgraded. I'd do a factory reset from the stock recovery menu and then wipe the cache. If that don't fix it then I'm out of options. Lol. Hope this helps.

Ive tried everything you mentioned except wiping the cache so I'll give that a try. Cross your fingers for me!

you flashed oc4 firmware which is why your baseband is oc4 (baseband is modem.)
What you need to do is download and odin a full odin tar file.. this will wipe everything clean and make it brand new...

If i were to find a full tar file would i just use the ap box in odin or would i have to do it differently? Usually those full dowloads have multiple files in them (BL and whatever the other ones are... CS maybe? Cant remember and not near the computer right now. Is that what your talking about?

Yup.. youre build is of3 or w.e which to my knowledge not downgradeable.. if you dont plan on keeping it rooted then you can flash latest full tar in odin using the AP slot..
I would recommend trying the oc full tar first if you plan on rerooting it.. the full tar will have multiple files including system, csc, boot etc.

Thanks alot! I'll find a full tar on here and odin it and see if that fixes it

does anyone have that oc4 one click file or know where i can find it. see it in my searchs but its always the same google drive share and they all say the file doesn't exist.

I have tried to flash the wrong files before in ODIN and it would not let me proceed, so I am not sure how you managed that, haha!
here is a link to the correct files for the T3:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4-tmobile/development/mirror-stock-tw-t3260858/page2
the download links are near the bottom of that page
i would recommend flashing the correct files before trying anything else. make sure "re-partition" is NOT checked. that will brick your phone.
let me know how it goes!

G925VVRS4CPI2 official OTA zip file?

Does anyone happen to have it, or know of a link to it? I've looked around and all the OTA zips I've found are too old.

Well, better late than never. I am sure you found it by now. However, a quick search on duckduckgo.com with the terms "verizon stock firmware +s6 +edge" results in many possible sources. Feel free to add the build number you are looking for. Here is a site I trust (also happens to be the second search result next to xda-developers.com ).
http://www.galaxys6edgeupdate.com/galaxy-s6-edge-stock-firmware/
Scroll down almost halfway down the page (passing T-Mobile, Sprint and AT&T) and there you have it.

Yeah I might just need those Nougat fw files. I store a lot of stuff offline.

I know, double post, but my problem now is that I uploaded the ODIN PI2 package originally WITHOUT the HOME_CSC file. The original package came with both Home and Carrier CSC files. To complete the work, we need the HOME_CSC file for PI2, to upgrade from PH1.
And back in the day a few of my files from GDrive for the G925V got deleted because of others. A couple files I can't get back now because that was my last backup.
