[Q] Issue trying to restore AT&T Galaxy S5 using Odin

Hey Everyone,
I'm new to this site. I'm using Odin to restore my AT&T Galaxy S5 back to stock and am running into a problem. I can get the stock ROM to apply to the phone with no problems. But when the phone reboots and I get to the Samsung splash screen, the graphic freezes and then the screen goes black.
I've gone into recovery mode on the device and did a factory reset/data wipe and cache wipe before applying the new ROM and am still having the issue.
Here is my device info I'm getting from Odin Mode:
Device: SM-G900A
Current Binary: Samsung Official
System Status: Custom
Reactivation Lock(KK): OFF
Knox Warranty Void: 0x0
Qualcomm Secureboot: Enable (CSB)
AP SWREV: S1, T1, A1, A2, P1
Secure Download: Enable
UDC Start
I'm also getting the unlocked padlock on boot with the words "Custom" below it.
Thanks in advance!
-Steve

Which file are you using to downgrade?

Hey Archie, thanks for the reply!
Here are the files I've tried:
AP_G900AUCU1ANCE_964333_REV00_user_low_ship_MULTI_CERT.tar.md5
G900AUCU1ANCE_G900AATT1ANCE_G900AUCU1ANCE_HOME.tar.md5
Neither of them work and I end up with the same result.
Thanks!
-Steve

If you are on Official 5.0 OTA DO NOT try this! Will only work on 4.4.2 & 4.4.4.
Your are using the wrong files. Do this,
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
Thanks to @muniz_ri

Use the file that the other user posted. I had the same issue that you describe and flashing that file fixed it.

Thank you for the help! I am downloading the file now, and am not on OTA 5.0. I was on OTA 4.4.4 with root and could not get the 5.0 OTA to install. I removed root and recovery and then tried to flash back to stock with the incorrect files. I will let you know the status of my install after I've downloaded the file you've provided me.
Thanks again!

No luck with the provided file. I can't extract it because it's corrupt.

Try using a different browser to download the file if it's still corrupted.

Trying in IE rather than Chrome.

File downloaded through IE, and I have successfully got my phone operational again.
Thank you for all your help!!!

Thank you for being quick. I upgraded to Nougat and then tried to root and my phone stuck in recovery mode boot loop. I was able to downgrade to 6.0.1 with odin md5 file. This will help get back to Nougat and attempt to root again.

What version of odin did you use and where did you get these files from?

omg...thank you thank you thank you thank you!

If I'm on the U firmware can I update directly to this via Odin?

PS everyone be sure to hit that thanks button if someone helped you. Especially the Original Poster.
70 downloads and only 5 thanks seems a little unreasonable for the first Odin 7.0 files.

I have an att branded S7 Edge with 935u FW on 6.0.1. Flashing these files will update me to Nougat correct? Also what version of Odin should I use to flash? TIA!

Oh how I wish I had this when I softbricked my device last weekend, had to flash the tmo firmware over the non booting at&t firmware

flashed this a couple of days ago and so far everything is great.

when I unzzipped the files, I see 4 zip files ending with .tar, they just need to be placed in odin to flash, correct? Or do I need to rename them to .md5

No need to rename. When you open Odin you'll add the files to Odin using the buttons (BL,AP,CP,CSC) AP will take a while, be patient. After all added, hit start and sit back

The last time I tried flashing my phone with odin it didn't go well. When I click on PDA and chooses the file, it doesn't show where it says PDA and Odin says not responding. Why's this happening?

Maybe try a newer version of Odin, because I know that the older versions have problems with newer phones.

It's having issues with opening a com port to phone.
So try another USB port and/or cable. Make sure Odin says that phone is recognized by Odin.

Is the port on phone clean?
Try another Odin version?
Which firmware you are on?
And what firmware are you trying to flash?
List the full firmware name. Eg. N950FXXU5CRK1

Then that's ur issue. You can not downgrade your bootloader version from version 5 to version 4, 3,2,1.
Can't go from N950FXXU"5"CSA3 (latest firmware) to N950FXXS"1"AQK9.
You can only flash any firmware with "5" or higher # .

Not going to work for the Korean one the updat.zip is for n950f not n950n.
Try this:
Download N950FXXU5SCA3 for INS using samfirm
Use the latest Odin to flash it.
Make sure that your on N950FXXU5SCA3 after flash.
Download the update.zip from the pie beta thread.
Place it on a sd card (no folders just root directory)
Reboot into recovery and update from sd card and select update.zip file.
For you to join the beta program you have to have a phone that's from India/UK/Korea and have a SIM card that's from there and be there as well. It won't work if your outside the region with a different SIM card.

I have tried to join the pie beta with my n950f XEU from UK (which beta pie is available for) but since I'm in Canada with a Canadian sim card the Samsung member app won't allow me to join because of my Canadian sim card.
So the only way to get the beta pie is to do it manually by doing the above steps.
