Flashing in ODIN failing when going back to stock - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III

Hello,
I am attempting to flash my phone back to stock using these directions: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2586319
When I boot the phone normally, I get the Verizon warning about non-Verizon software. I am able to go to Download mode just fine. I have tried both the ODIN (I've tried JODIN as well) and VZW utility methods and neither is working. I have successfully re-partitioned using the PIT in the link, but the actual tar ball fails. Here is what I get in ODIN 3.07:

My phone at Download mode says:
CUSTOM BINARY DOWNLOAD: Yes (3 times)
CURRENT BINARY: CUSTOM
SYSTEM STATUS: Official
QUALCOMM SECUREBOOT: ENABLE
Warranty Bit: 0

I've done a ton of Googling on this and can't seem to find any answers on what to do. Does anyone have any advice to get this phone working again or is it bricked?
Thanks for any help!

Ok, so it looks like my cable was bad. After switching the cable things seem to be working now.

Problems returning back to stock

I thought going back to stock everything would be easy enough, but not.
I've been having issues with my phone and my only blame I can put is at the custom roms feet.
I'm trying to go back to stock. I have the correct drivers installed, I have odin ready and downloaded the firmware.
I first tried G920FXXU1AOCV_G920FTEF1AOC1_G920FXXU1AOCW_HOME.tar which failed
Comes up on the screen of the phone as: SW REV, CHECK FAIL, DEVICE: 3, BINARY: 1
With odin displaying:
<ID:0/003> Odin engine v(ID:3.1100)..
<ID:0/003> File analysis..
<ID:0/003> SetupConnection..
<ID:0/003> Initialzation..
<ID:0/003> Get PIT for mapping..
<ID:0/003> Firmware update start..
<ID:0/003> SingleDownload.
<ID:0/003> sboot.bin
<ID:0/003> NAND Write Start!!
<ID:0/003> FAIL!
<ID:0/003>
<ID:0/003> Complete(Write) operation failed.
<OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 1)
I tried with another firmware: G920FXXU2BOFJ_G920FBTU2BOFJ_G920FXXU2BOFJ_HOME.tar which also failed exactly like the above.
I am in the process of downloading a third, one from sammobile. I don't hold up much hope for that either.
Any thoughts?
Hope did you changed the different USB port and original USB cable.
If still same problem , please install smart switch
put it in download mode
open smart switch.
choose the emergency software recovery option.
if the smart switchsays it can t recognize ur device..
Then you have an option there to pick the device manually.
write the model(SM-G920F)
Write the S/N (SERIALNUMBER) which you can find on the back

Please help me
Hi !
There are several threads on the Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting
You may have a look here https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s6-edge/help/bricked-stuck-using-odin-root-t3077615
Important is to have a working Odin version and a good USB cable , if the original doesn`t work , they have a tendency to get damaged for data , use a different one
Good luck !

G930F stuck in a bootloop

Hi all,
My S7 (rooted) appears to be stuck in a bootloop. Last night, I was using it as normal and set it down to charge overnight.
Woke up this morning, recurring bootloop. Tried to get into recovery, but just got a 'Downloading' screen. Tried to flash a stock firmware (vol down key etc) but got
<ID:0/003> Added!!

<ID:0/003> Set PIT file..
<ID:0/003> DO NOT TURN OFF TARGET!!
<ID:0/003> Complete(Write) operation failed.
<OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 1)
For info, it's rooted, running a custom rom and until yesterday was working fine. No new software has been installed in the past couple of weeks, no settings have been changed.
Any ideas as to how I can get the phone working again?
The "Downloading..." screen is where you need to be to flash stock with ODIN
Make sure to use ODIN 3.12.3 minimum version
I'll give it a go when I get home from work and report back. Seems I was using an older version of Odin (3.11.1). I now have 3.12.3.
Thanks for the reply.
So I loaded a BL, AP, CP & CSC file into Odin (stock 7.0 firmware based on my phone carrier).

Doesn't seem to like what i'm doing.

Do you have a green/blue COM port lit up at the top of ODIN when you connect the phone?
Tried a different USB lead / port?
The Com port info shows in blue. Tried on two different PCs, 2 different official cables, 4 different USB ports.
Getting a bit further:

Any thoughts?

Help: phone in "recovery booting" loop, trying to flash-

I have a Samsung Galaxy S7. It went into a boot loop and then when tried to do factory reset it went into a "recovery booting" loop. Seems only possible to enter download mode. From reading the forums, it seems the only possible option is a flash. I have downloaded Odin 3.13, and the Samsung drivers.
I downloaded file : G930VVRU4CRE5 (which I think is the oreo firmware)
When I "start" the process, it fails:
phone has error : SW REV CHECK FAIL : [aboot] Fused > Binary 4
odin shows:

Thank you for the assistance.

You need to use the patched version of Odin and the firmware your using needs to be U4 or above Verizon which I think you already have.

Odin fails at/after param.bin

So I'm trying to reset my phone(regular S8 but hoping if someone else had the same issue the fix might be the same) as a bad rom flash caused some sort of issue and couldn't get back into twrp "official binaries only"
Find latest firmware for my csc (which was july) doesnt work, I thought it might have been a BL issue as I had the august patch through a custom rom, found a different csc which was from august, and I get the same error
I also no longer get the official binaries only, just a bootloop of "An error has occurred while updating....use emergency recovery function in smart switch" which I also tried, no luck, but I can still get into download mode
Using most recent odin, official cable, updated usb firmware and such and am running as admin. Have tried different ports too, but it always fails at same step

Any Ideas? Thanks
