Softbrick Struggle... - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III

EDIT: Random success with Verizon tool No idea what changed...
This is what I was seeing when I tried to use the Odin method of unbricking, it would get ~halfway done and then fail.
Tried again with the PIT file and again failed about 50% of the way through.
4.3
Product Name: SCH-I535
Custom Binary Download: No
Current Binary: Samsung Official
System Status: Official
Qualcomm Secureboot: Enable
Warranty Bit:0
Bootloader RP Swrev: 1
I then tried the Verizon Assistant method and it got to 86% then said my device was disconnected unexpectedly and I get this.
Product Name: SCH-I535
Current Binary: Samsung Official
System Status: Official
Qualcomm Secureboot: Enable
Bootloader RP Swrev: 2
Decided to try once more and ended up seeing this in all red letters
sw rev check fail : Fused 2 > Binary 0
I then tried using this method to unbrick http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1840030 and Odin fails when I try to push the bootchain.

I'm at a loss here I don't care what I have to update to but I've spent hours trying to solve this mystery any assistance would be greatly appreciated. I can still get to the download screen so I'm not hardbricked.

[Q] Pretty Sure I Killed my Phone

I've been running CM on and off on this thing for almost 2 years straight upgrading all along the way (including nightlies as recent at late july this year) well after dealing with some instability issues I figured I'd try to flash my phone back to stock and see if I could get things back fully operational GPS, non-crashing chrome etc.
So I fired up Odin 3.07 and tried flashing a 4.3 ROM to it and it's been down hill from there.
I should have done more research before attempting the restore but tried the method that worked in the past of just getting a copy of stock ROM and flashing it with Odin.
After the initial flash returned a failed result, I tried rebooting the phone and trowing in the towel, but apparently I jacked up my bootloader and now I can't flash my phone at all.
I tried both methods in the next link including re-partitioning with pit files at the bottom of the article and no luck, I also tried "upgrading" with Kies and that fails too.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2586319
I've tied just about every stock version I could find and all that happens is the update fails with an output like whats shown below.
Update1: I've also tried the debricking procedure in this forum with no luck.
Has anyone seen this behavior?
Sorry if this post lacks details.

You updated to a version with a locked bootloader...
JTAG seems to be the only solution at the moment.

[Resolved][S6 SM-G920P won't boot] Kernel & Binary problems

I have a friend's phone a SAMSUNG S6 (SM-G920P) that won't boot, because he took it to some phone repair shops that have messed it more than it already is. I have this on the boot screen :
Code:
Kernel is not seandroid enfrocing.
Custom binary is blocked by FRP lock.
The first thing I've done is download a stock rom : G920PVPU1AOCF_G920PSPT1AOCF_G920PVPU1AOCF_HOME.tar.md5 and I tried to flash it via ODIN3.10.6, but I keep getting a fail message :

And this on the phone :
Code:
SW REV. CHECK FAIL. DEVICE: 3, BINARY: 1
Then, after searching online for this problem, I found out that I've been using the wrong stock firmware. But there is no way for me to check the modem and bootloader version, I tried fastboot but it keeps waiting for the device. I tried SmartSwitch and Kies, then can't find my device, and when I try using the model number (SM-G920P) and the serial number which is the MEID I found in the download mode>Home button (only that with the barcode), I get that this S/N is invalid. I really don't know what to do next, and I wish that someone could help me.
Thanks a lot!
Downloaded last firmware and flashed it. All things working fine, thanks.

try OK4. That one seems to be the most bulletproof
Wipe everything in twrp then try to install a stock ROM. If that doesn't work try a different stock ROM

Try using twrp 3.0.0. I've had the same problem before. Also use Odin 3.09. I never have a problem when using those two. Make sure you have USB debugging enabled in developers menu. Tap build in device info 7 times to activate developer options. Hope this helps. Also if your on lollipop you can't flash kit kat firmware. Try BOG1 or if you want MM use CPCA.

G930F totally stuck in download mode

Hi all,
I am trying to fix a SM-G930F for a girlfriend. The phone crashed during an OTA and is now totally stuck in download mode. I can get into Odin mode, not recovery. Rebooting only takes me back to download mode.
First I have tried Samsung Smart Switch / Kies, but the phone is not recognized and emergency recovery is not available.
Next logical step is to reflash stock firmware. So downloaded the appropiate firmware from sammobile. Since she bought it in a dutch store, and is unbranded (uses a sim-only) i downloaded the latest PHN version G930FXXU1DQL5_G930FPHN1DQL1_PHN.
I added all the files to Odin (BL/AP/CP/CSC), Odin is blue, use an original Samsung USB cable and this is what I get:

Any advice?
Are you using ODIN 3.12.3 or newer? Older versions have problems
Try flashing just the AP
Try flashing all apart from CSC
Try flash HOME_CSC instead of CSC
Try flashing another CSC firmware with "Repartition" Ticked in ODIN options

I am using the latest Odin v3.12.7

What do you mean with other CSC firmware? I actually also tried the same with the previous official firmware, see if that helps but unfortunately not.
PHN is the CSC in your case
The CSC contains the PIT file
Try any other firmware/CSC for that model S7 as a test

Try ticking re-partition in odin since you're using the pit file..

Sounds like something has either corrupted the internal storage, or the internal storage is faulty, causing the original crash and now cannot be read for flashing
As it is still 0x0 for KNOX warranty I'd suggest trying to get it repaired via Samsung if still within the time limit
If not, then flashing TWRP custom recovery would give you more options for repairing the file system / partitions if it is not a hardware failure
Be aware that certain apps will not work with KNOX tripped
I could only say that you may be flashing a corrupted rom, have you tried any other from sammobile?
Tried using different USB cables? Try to use a USB 2.0 port if possible.
Try Samsung emergency recovering.

Cannot flash stock firmware?

Hello,
I recently tried to install a ROM on a Samsung galaxy s6 (SM-G920F) while following a guide. The guide said to reset to factory settings and to wipe the cache, which i did.
The custom ROM i tried to install didn't work, and now i have an error message when trying to turn the phone on. It says "An error has occured while updating the device software. Use the Emergency recovery function in the Smart Switch PC software"
I tried to flash stock firmware onto the phone that i downloaded from sammobile.com, but this doesn't seem to work.
I select the .tar.md5 file with the AP button in Odin3 v3.13 and hit Start once it allows me. It fails near the end, this is in the log:
<OSM> Enter CS for MD5..
<OSM> Check MD5.. Do not unplug the cable..
<OSM> Please wait..

<OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 1)
I also tried to install this Smart Switch PC software, but cannot find it anywhere. EDIT: Found it now, but couldn't install it. Translated the message says: Application cannot be started because the configuration next to each other is wrong.
Can anyone please tell me what i'm doing wrong? I really need to get the phone back in working order.
EDIT: It was getting much further through the flash when i tried it yesterday, looked like it was about 90% done before it failed. Now it doesn't even properly start. The Odin log i posted is one from today.
EDIT2: The information at the top of the download screen is as follows:
odin mode
product name: sm-g920f
