I rooted my note 5 the other day using Odin which was successful , decided I wanted to unroot since I have an sm-920T and keep the getting a pop up message due to a t-mobile app and being rooted. I deleted the t-mobile app but kept getting the pop up message associated with it.
I downloaded some stock roms and tried flashing with Odin but it kept failing to write and the process of flashing only worked in twrp which I did. I had issues with my phone randomly restarting and often too. I did some googling and figured I had a corrupted pit file. I download firmware boh6 and the associated pit file and followed the directions to the letter and I keep coming up with a write fail in odin. Any ideas on how to fix this or solve the issue?

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

In the process of rooting my Galaxy S5 I ended up soft-bricking my phone so that it's now in a bootloop. At this point I just want to restore the phone to factory default but I'm having issues doing so.
The issue came when I tried to flash a ROM onto my device using Odin3 which was successful but then, on restart, I got this bootloop. I've now tried a few different ways to fix.
I've:
Cleared cache partition and user data
Tried to use Odin v3.10 to flash stock for different builds (G900VVRU1BOD5, G900VVZW1BOC4,G900VVZW1BOA8) (I believe the phone was on G900VVRU1BOD5 before the bootloop)
I was also stupid and didn't do a backup beforehand.
This thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=53454972) seems to suggest that I need to flash the CP and CSC along with the AP but I haven't been able to locate these files.
Any help would be appreciated!
Errors
I guess I forgot to mention that when I attempt to flash the stock firmware I get a FAIL! (Auth) error from Odin almost immediately no matter which ROM I try.
I had this problem. After days of fighting it I went into the stock recovery and did a factory data reset and that fixed it.

are you trying to flash a ATT stock rom to your Verizon Phone??
Thanks for the replies. I have stock BL and I've tried the reset there and it hasn't helped.
I have a Verizon S5 and am using Verizon stock firmware. Looks like I accidentally posted this in the ATT S5 general section. Sorry...
I purchased a soft bricked sm-g900a phone off of Ebay with the idea of using Odin to reflash and recover the phone. Since the phone was purchased soft bricked I do not have a history on what firmware was running on the phone or what the previous owner flashed that may have caused the phone not to boot to the OS or into recovery. I am assuming the previous owner was on 5.0 and tried to downgrade and ran into problems.
Short description of the current state of the phone:
1. Phone will boot into Odin Mode and can be flashed using Odin.
2. Phone will start to boot to recovery but sticks at "Recovery Booting. . . ." and reboots after about 30 seconds
3. Phone boots to Samsung logo and reboots after about 30 seconds.
What works:
Using Odin I can flash the following without errors: After flashing the phone exhibits the behavior above.
G900A_OC4_Stock_Kernel.tar.md5,
G900A_OA1_Stock_Kernel.tar.md5
G900A_OC4_Stock_Modem.tar.md5,
G900A_OC4_Stock_Partitions.tar.md5
G900AUCU3BOC4_OneClick..exe - reboots to recovery and "Recovery Booting. . . ."
I can flash SM-G900A_pit.pit with Odin 3.07 but not 3.09 or 3.10.
What does not work.

Same errors as above .
Tried to use Kies to recover the phone. It goes through the process of recovering with 4.4.2 and crashes about the same place flashing wit Odin does.
I assume if I could get into recovery to do a factory wipe I would be able to get the phone to boot. I have read multiple forum posts and blogs on getting the bricked phone to work where most recommend flashing G900A_Downgrade_to_NCE.tar.md5 and then if you can't get into recovery to flash either G900A_OC4_Stock_Kernel.tar.md5 or G900A_OA1_Stock_Kernel.tar.md5 and then you should be able to get into recovery. This of course has not worked for me.
Does anyone have any idea how I might go about getting this phone to boot into recovery? Also is it possible to have the local AT&T store re flash 5.0 on the phone.
I know it is a risk buying soft bricked phones but I sure would not like to have an expensive paper weight.

Its hard to tell what version it was on previously since recovery wont even boot, but from how its acting i'd say it was on LP and bricked for a KK flash, so you flashing NCE(Kitkat) is doing zilch. Seeing as there is no option for you to root, and im assuming you arent interested in that anyway, i would just take it to bestbuy or the att store and get them to reflash it, just say you got it off ebay and it was like that.

I took the phone to BestBuy and the guy there flashed it with 5.0.1 with the same results. Boots to the Recovery Booting. . . . screen for about 30 seconds and then reboots. My daughter is taking it to an AT&T repair center to see if they have any better luck.
Have you tried flashing the boot image?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using XDA Free mobile app
Boot image. Not sure which file you are talking about.
Could you give me a little more information or a link to the file?
Re: Softbricked AT&amp;amp;amp;amp;T Galaxy S5
If you have the oc4 update zip, in the zip should be a boot image, create an md5 tar file from it then flash in AP. If that doesn't work, you flashed a bad kernel and may have to use jtag to fully recover. Or bring it to a repair facility to have them do it.
My daughter took the phone to an AT&T repair center and they also could not successfully flash the phone. The only OC4 update i have found is the G900AUCU3BOC4_OneClick..exe update and I do not believe I can extract the boot image from that update. Is there another source of the OC4 update available where I could obtain the boot image.
Thanks for the help everyone.
I'll look for the DL link. But if they tried flashing it, and it didn't work. You may be SOL.

How did you recover yours?
Can someone help me out here? I am suffering from the major lagging and freezing with my Note 4 and i contacted Samsung about it. They told me to visit a local Samsung store and they can check out my phone, but i want to be back to stock before taking it in. Last night I tried to Odin back to stock Dok2 for roughly 4 hours and i couldnt get it accomplished. Am i missing something? I tried 3 different versions of Odin and downloaded 2 diffrent copies of the Dok2 firmware, but still no luck. Is there a specific processto follow? I tried factory resetting the phone before odin flashing, I even clean wiped the phone in Odin deleting internal storage as well.
Please help!
Anyone??????
Did you download Odin and DOK2 from sammobile? I was able to flash my phone with the downloads from there. I would double check and make sure you are using the stock samsung USB cable that came with your phone.
I'm having the exact same freezing and lockup issues as you are, by the way.
I dont beleive my odin and firmware came from sammobile, so i will give that a shot. I did make sure to use the samsung usb cable. I guess i need to make sure it was my usb cable and not my wife's S4 cable. Not sure if that makes a difference.
Ok. I still can't odin flash Dok2. I downloaded the new version on Odin from Sammobile and downloaded a copy od Dok2 (full) from a link to Mega. I couldn't get the sammobile link to work.
Any other suggestions?
It's possible that your DOK2 file might be corrupted or something. Try giving this one a shot, http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-tab-s/general/tool-samfirm-samsung-firmware-t2988647 to download the firmware. Input your phone model, set region to TMB, place check mark on "auto" box, and place a check mark on the "decrypt automatically" box. Click on "Check Update" and download. Don't worry about the .enc4 extension on the file name, once its done downloading and decrypting you will get a .zip file of the firmware.
I tried downloading the SamFirm program from the link you provided above, but I get an error in the program stating: "Could not load file or assembly "Microsoft.WindowsAPICodePack.Shell. Version= 1.10.0. Maybe this is because I am running Windows 10.
OK, problem solved. I downloaded Kies 3 and was able to restore to DOK2 using it.

Can you elaborate on this Kies 3, I'm stuck I the same issue and I cant get back to Stock ROM for Note 4
Sure. Kies 3 is the Samsung software for recovery and updates. You should be able to just Google Kies 3 and download.

So use Kies 3 as opposed to using Odin to flash the fw?
That's the only way I was able to flash Dok2 again. I tried at least 20 times in Odin and it failed everytime. I'm still having issues on Dok2, I wish I could flash back to Cod6.
I flashed Android Wear onto my watch (March 4th release on this page) and Google Services was super buggy and wouldn't stop crashing, so I tried to flash the vanilla OS back but it constantly fails.
I've tried flashing the Tizenmod Full Restore zip from the page, but it wouldn't flash. The first time it said "INVALID SIGNATURE: BOOT" on the screen so I tried to flash it again and this time it said nothing on the screen. I spent several more hours trying everything, the 'Extreme Recovery' with TizenModFull but I could not flash it either so I tried the stock firmware, 2 different versions of Odin, different USB ports, different firmware's and even tried re partitioning with a PIT file I got from Heimdall on my main computer but I still couldn't flash anything onto the watch (When flashing with re partition and a PIT file it said "INVALID SIGNATURE: PIT", but not consistently).
EDIT: The logs from Odin this guy got are pretty much exactly the same as mine.
Does anything know anyway I can get the stock firmware back onto my watch? Thank you.

hi,
I am getting a similar issue with my samsung gear S2 I have tried flashing with odin but its stuck in download mode and whenever I try to flash it I get the error message Invalid Signature : PIT - I have tried using different versions of the firmware for the device but no fix - does anyone know how to fix this?
