Well I finally got rid of Verizon and my S3's lol for this phone and a new company. But as i went and got the phone and did not research come to find out I guess i have a locked bootloader cause now I get this.........
Secure Fail: RECOVERY
I went to install a twrp 3.0.0.0 tar and I got greeted with some Verizon S3 stress of what I think is a locked BL.
Ok lets say that's the case its locked.......
How can I find out the right stock firmware all I'm positive about is the following info:
Gold 16gb AT&T S5 SM-G900A
4.4.2
At this time I need the right firm and then anyone willing to guide me in the right direction to get 6.0.1 on here and SE permissive I'll love you.
For now I'm phoneless!

If it was on 4.4.2 when you got it there are Odin packages for that. We can't get SE permissive(except through multisystem) and there's no MM release from art for our phone.

I have a corrupted baseband, (unknown in about screen). The latest odin for 4.3 does not include PIT file so I cannot use the reform option. Kies also does not support initializing/upgrade feature on this device. Does anyone have a PIT file for the galaxy s4 active from AT&T? I would like to try odin with PIT to see if it does anything to get my baseband back.
Also, a working QCN file with or without IMEI would be helpful as well!

I don't have a i537 myself. I can give you a pit file of my I9295 but I doubt that they are the same. Anyone with a rooted i537 can get your pit file with
Code:

Here is pit. Not tested but readed from working phone using z3x.
Here is a good NAE PIT file for anyone who needs it.

The md5sum of the PIT I printed from my MK2 phone has a different value than the PIT you posted, but I have used it to flash things without issue. Do the PITs change with each update (ie MK2 -> NAE)?
i have no idea what this is even for.

PIT stands for Partition Information Table, and is used in conjunction with ODIN or heimdall to flash Samsung devices. Here are two quick reads that explain the basics of PIT files. And as for my question above, it appears that the PIT file can change with new firmware releases.

I'm not sure this is ever needed except in dire circumstances.
AFAIK if you get a PIT file missing (or not found, or needed, or whatever PIT error) that just means that you need to plug your USB cable directly into the back of your computer in a port that is on the motherboard and not a hub or pci card. With the factory cable.
I've ran into a PIT error two times, and both times "fixed" it by going direct. Actually it fixed itself.
That being said... Thank you for providing it, can't hurt to download it just in case.
How does one make a PIT file tho? Im cause so I can get some of the Cricket S4 PIT files.

Use heimdall on a linux system to print your PIT file. If you're not command line savvy (like me) there is a GUI available that is pretty straightforward.
Edit: also check out this thread.

Not usually. A PIT file is just a partition information table. Usually they don't change. You should research before you use anything though bro. Message me if you need anything else.

Hey... I posted it because when you flash something you run the risk of malicious code being injected. Extra partitions contaning these malicious codes stay unless you nand erase and flash a .tar with a PIT file. This is why I provided the link. There are ton's of bad guys here. Many get banned when they are caught, but many are clever. When in doubt, nand erase the device and use a pit file with your .tar Wahlah.... I'm a helpful whitehat.

If you have file/zip you can upgrade from sd-card but be aware that you loose all your data. If you push true ADB sideload you data will stay intact.

May I ask you a question? I seem to be having the EXACT same problem on my phone! I tried flashing the stock ROM and I got the failed message as well. My software update won't work either. I get to 28% then it fails.

No you don't need to be rooted to take the update just download the zip place in your external SD card then boot to stock recovery. Scroll down to where it says install from external SD choose the zip and let it install
Good news for everyone using the Metro version of the Samsung Galaxy Grand Prime version 5.1.1 and soft bricked their device. After searching for almost a week I finally found the original stock firmware for the Metro PCS version not the T-Mobile version.
*Credit goes to TSAR3000 for original upload*
Android Version# 5.1.1
FW Version# G530T1UVU1AOH9
Build# LMY47X.G530T1UVU1AOH9
Kernel# 3.1049-5647484
Also I have included the .pit files. Use Odin to flash both files. Connect your Galaxy G530T1 to your PC and open Odin. (I run as admin, not sure if it makes a difference but doesn't hurt to be sure.) Click on the pit tab and select the .pit file included in the package. Then check the AP box and select the FW for your device. I leave the settings as is as far as reset time and re-partition boxes are checked. Also The FRP lock is disabled. (Again I'm not sure if it makes a difference or not but better to be safe than sorry). To disable the FRP go to the developer settings and turn on OEM Unlocking as well as the USB Debugging. If you dont see Developer Options under the settings menu, go to About device and click on the Build # 7 times to unlock the developer settings. Download the zip file from one of the links below and extract the files. If you still want to root after you flash I have a link for the KingRoot file as well.
Firmware is approx 966MB
KingRoot is approx 8.2MB
Decryption keys are included in Mega links

Awesome! Great work.
thanks for posting but need help
Thanks for posting this, It is exactly what I was looking for. I have a MetroPCS Grand Prime(MetroPCS SM-G530T1) After trying to load another .tar file via odin(from another source), I have been getting a continual soft reset. I then found your post and am very desperately trying to get back to what I had before. (even though root would still be nice)
I downloaded the drop box link you have, it was 1.6 gigabytes though in size and you mentioned it would be 966 Megs,
I couldn't get the Mega link to work as it asked me for a decryption key.
I then opened Odin and used the AP to load the .tar file that downloaded from drop box. It failed and I am not sure why, here is what the log said.

I am not sure how to proceed from here, You mentioned a PIT file but I didn't get one of those when I downloaded from the drop box link, Do I need that file to make this work?
Maybe it is included in the Mega link but it says I am supposed to ask you for the decryption key, can you give that to me? Or maybe there is something else I am not doing correctly.
it says G360 right in the filename... The G360 is the Core Prime... Not the Grand Prime.
---------- Post added at 05:11 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:59 PM ----------
Also, the firmware you linked is nowhere near 966mb! The one you uploaded is 1.53GB. Be cautious with this XDA, could be the wrong file mistakenly uploaded, but it's always good to be cautious before flashing your device with something you aren't sure about.
For those who are having problems with the Mega link I have the decryption key for you. I also double checked the mega link and I'm positive that it is the correct firmware. It is labled G530T1UVU1AOH9_TMB1AOH9_v5.1.1_Repair_Firmware.zip
The decryption key is: !avrYieWfJH6mJcu3TC5NnYCCrrFmdZ16YXRbAfJ-rNs
Sorry for the dropbox upload. I did post the wrong link and I appologize for that. The new links are up
Hey
New to this forum. But all i need to do is download the zip, unzip, add the files to odin then flash while my phone is in download mode? Just making sure. I dont have a pc so i have to do it tomorrow at a friends. I flashed the g530t fw on this phone and i dont like how my hotspot dont work anymore

Yes this is the Metro version with metro PCS bloatware/apps instead of t-mobile bloatware/apps lol. Pretty much the only difference between the two. I noticed when I used the T-Mobile version I wasn't able to use MyMetro app. Always gave me an error.
