Hi all hope you can help me or shed some of your knowledge.
I recently purchased a s6 sm-g920a At&t version which had lollipop 5.1.1 installed which I could not updated for some reason so I went into boot mode without backing and did wipe data factory rest my phone won't work. Please could someone shed some light on what steps I need to take please.
Also I have downloaded odin v3.09 also firmware from a thread on this site and odin seems to get stuck on NAND write start!!

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.

Hello! OP...are you still around?
Did you ever recover this phone?
I was in the same situation...maybe worse...and I was finally able to recover it.
Please let me know what happened with yours?
THANKS!

How did you recover yours?
Edit: Problem solved.
To preface all of this, I understood the risks I was taking. I may have accidentally messed something up due to my own error and I understand this. The end.
I have the SM-T810 model. First I flashed the Permissive Lollipop 5.1.1 kernel through Odin along with the TWRP recovery. All went well. I made a backup through TWRP. Tablet worked perfectly upon reboot.
Then I went to flash the Optimal Rom according to the directions:
"1. Download ROMzip to your SD Card
2. BACKUP YOUR CURRENT ROM - I cannot stress this enough. Don't ask why, just do it.
3. You will need to flash the firmware package in ODIN that matches the base of the current ROM, located in post 3 here
4. Flash ROMzip in recovery
5. Reboot"
So Before flashing the ROMzip in recovery, I flashed the provided firmware package in ODIN, "810_oh7_fw_BigBot96.tar.md5" This is where Odin failed and things got messed up.
After restarting the tab it gets stuck at the "Galaxy Tab S2" logo screen. At the top in red letters it reads "Kernel is not seandroid enforcing."
I am still able to get into recovery, which I factory resetted, wiped, formatted, the whole nine yards in a million different combinations. Afterwards I would restore the backup I created earlier (which always appears to be successful), however when I go to reboot from recovery TWRP tells me there is no OS installed and goes back to being frozen at the boot logo. Weird.
Whenever I try to flash stock from Odin, the images provided on these forums, it fails
"<ID:0/005> NAND Write Start!!
<ID:0/005> boot.img
<ID:0/005> FAIL!
<ID:0/005>
<ID:0/005> Complete(Write) operation failed.
<OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 1)"
Where did I go wrong? I may have accidentally forgot to run odin as administrator, maybe that was it? If anyone has any questions I'll be glad to answer and I appreciate any help that I can get. Thanks.
I would guess that the stock ROM you try to flash has an older bootloader version than the ROM you had flashed before. The bootloader is not downgradeable.
So look for a 5.1.1 stock ROM with a "2B" in the version number ( a canadian and some other version is available). Then Odin should flash it just fine.

I have a feeling you are right, since I am able to flash other things through odin on the tab (like the custom kernel), just not the stock rom. Also, I just recently bought the tablet and stupidly updated it immediately upon unboxing, so I probably do have a newer bootloader. If anyone knows where I can get a newer stock ROM I would be very grateful.

It should be available on SamMobile. Also when flashing your twrp backup make sure you are restoring system.
Lastly you don't need to flash the firmware package just the rom as you are already updated by the looks of things.
So just find the latest stock firmware then flash that then the rom.

Thanks for the tips. Would a newer 5.0.2 ROM possibly have the newer bootloader, or would I need to find a 5.1.1 ROM which is what I had previously installed? Having trouble finding a 5.1.1 ROM
Wow that was stupid of me. I never tried flashing the Optimal ROM itself because I initially freaked out after flashing the firmware. My tablet is back in action with Optimal ROM

Hi there.
I rooted my note 5 and i need now to unroot it. So I used odin with my n920c tar file, and odin is giving me the blue com normally.
Everything is working fine until I press start it start the usual procedure until the NAND write start!! and it stops. I kept it running for an hour but nothing happened.
Can some tell me what Im doing wrong? Maybe because I have twrp recovery.
I thats the case can someone please help me and guide on what to do.
Thanks

Flashing stock rom with Odin is pretty straightforward. Check the integrity of your tar ball (md5 checksum, etc.).

Hey everyone,
I hope I posted this in the proper area. I've run into a problem with my Note 4. I wiped it and now if I try to reboot from TWRP, it says theres no OS installed. If I do reboot, it gets stuck on the samsung Note 4 screen.
I need to get this up and running asap. Could someone please help?
I have TWRP 2.8.7.0 installed and I have Odin 3.09 on my desktop. I would really appreciate detailed instructions and download links to anything else I may need so that I can get my Note 4 up and running again.
Thank you.

That's my problem. I haven't been able to find any rom for Note 4. Last I remember, there wasn't anything on sammobiles for Note 4. Would love a stock firmware right now so I can flash it.
UPDATE: I found a stock firmware from this thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/no...uide-odin-to-stock-unrooted-firmware-t2957156
just tried to flash it and I got a fail. I followed the instructions exactly but it failed.

did you try: https://forum.xda-developers.com/no...om-n910t3uvu3epj2-stock-rooted-odex-t3501592?
Also, I would update to latest TWRP (3.0.2, i think)
I would just Odin back to stock firmware if you dont have a backup. you probably wiped the wrong partition or something, I've seen this message before too and that's how I got my phone working again

Nothing unfortunately. Just to be sure I did it right ... I downloaded the kernel zip file in that thread. Transferred it to my sd card, loaded it back onto my phone, went into twrp, hit install, found the zip file and installed it. a few seconds later, it was done. I rebooted. It went to the logo screen again and then it back to TWRP. IDK what to do anymore

So, the COD6 seems to be damaged or something. I couldn't use it. And the ANK4 I already had and still getting a fail.
It's been a long time since this occurred. IDK if this helps but when the phone was still up and running. For some unknown reason, I went to my app drawer and uninstalled/deleted Superuser. Could that be a reason why I'm having an issue flashing my Note 4 back to stock?
Could someone possible send me a backup file from a Note 4 so that I could restore my phone and then factory reset? Maybe that'll get my phone up and running.
YES!!! I fixed it!!! Why didn't anyone tell me that I couldn't flash a stock (kitkat) rom if I had previously updated to Lollipop or Marshmallow? Fortunately, while searching "write fail: aboot" a thread came up and someone mentioned it so I downloaded a marshmallow rom and that was it. I'm up and running now.
