Need help unrooting SM-G925P - Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge

I have a galaxy S6 Edge which you could probably tell from the model number and I recently rooted it. After realizing that my phone was very very sluggish after the root, I decided to unroot it. I have the proper stock firmware for my device downloaded on my computer (Lollipop 5.1.1) but when I tried to flash it manually through Odin I received this error:
<OSM> Enter CS for MD5..
<OSM> Check MD5.. Do not unplug the cable..
<OSM> Please wait..
<OSM> G925PVPU2BOH1_G925PSPT2BOH1_G925PVPU2BOH1_HOME.tar .md5 is valid.

I was surprised to find that this flash wasn't successful because I've flashed this firmware on the phone multiple times with ease. After looking around on google for quite some time, I haven't yet found a solution witch is the reason why I am writing this post. I am not sure how to fix this error and would really appreciate some help. Thanks
This is the file I downloaded from SamMobile's website:

This is a screenshot of the Odin after running the flash:

Thanks for the suggestion, but I just want to avoid restoring my phone at all costs.

You could pull the stock kernel from the OH1 tar and flash that.

And how would one go about doing that? I'm pretty much a newbie sorry >.<
EDIT: No need to explain. Just looked it up and figured out how to do it. Will report back when I get results.

Just extracted the recovery img and archived into a tar file and flashed that. Not really sure what it did, but I tried to flash the 5.1.1 update again and still no hope.

Well if you started out on OI1 you may have hard bricked your phone because you can't roll back from that version and the OI1 Odin firmware isn't available yet

But I was able to flash the root and flash the 5.1.1 update multiple times before this.

Not understanding you. We're talking firmware here. There's a lot of firmware versions for 5.1.1 if you were on OI1 you can't go back

Ok, regardless of that, is there any way to unroot my phone and go back to stock firmware?
EDIT: I did a factory reset in hopes that the problem would go away. After the reset I was still rooted so I tried to flash the 5.1.1 firmware and it still wouldn't work >.<

Read the threads and do your homework because obviously you're not understanding. It depends what firmware you were on. You keep saying 5.1.1, but there are 3 firmware versions for 5.1.1. Until you figure out which one you were on I can't help you. That's critical information. If you were on on OI1 and tried to downgrade to one of the other 2 then you're pretty much screwed. I suggest you read up on the difference between android versions and firmware versions. I can't help you if you don't provide me with the needed information. 5.1.1 isn't telling me anything. The last 3 firmware versions were 5.1.1. Good luck

I hope you realize that the reason I am posting on these forums in the first place is probably because I don't know what I am doing. I was hoping some kind soul would teach me the basics of this whole system, but I guess I am mistaken. Instead of calling me out on what don't know maybe you could help me and teach me how to retrieve the information you are asking for instead of insulting my intelligence.

Uhhhh I've been trying to do that the entire time. I've asked you since you first posted this about the firmware version and instead of you asking where do I find this, you've been going all around the question. If you want help you're going to have to answer the questions that we need to troubleshoot, how to fix the problem

Thanks anyways for your "help", but I guess I'm going to have to figure this out on my own and do some "homework"

I'm now stuck in a bootloop after trying to manualy unroot my device by deleting /system/xbin/su and /system/apps/superuser

[Q] [Pit File] for GT-P6200 is Required, Plz Help.....

Hi everybody.....
I need the [.Pit] file for my Samsung Galaxy Tab 7 plus (GT-P6200-3G+WiFi),
to do Re-Partition using Odin software.
Why?
......Because i bought my device from China and they have the Bootloader locked, and no matter what (other region) firmware i tried to flash, it just failed.
On Chinese devices, i can't use the usual Android Market and the internet browser is restricted to use china Baidu search engine, with other more restrictions that drive me crazy.
Baseband Version: P6200ZCKL2
Help is appreciated....
Thanks
Are you sure? My 7+ came from China and I've had none of those problems, flashed over to the Indonesian firmware now.
May be your's baseband is HongKONG not the mainland China.
Hi Developers....
I found this (P6200-Flash guide.pdf Tutorial), explaining how to do flashing, and the most important thing is that.....It points to the use of a certain Pit file
named [p2_20110905.pit].
http: //www .multiupload .com/VUR7LLHSVW (delete blank spaces inbetween)
Now....does anyone know how or where i can find it???

i use this pit file to solve my bootloop problem
and also i use full stock firmware KK1(indonesia) with bootloader and csc inside the firmware
i have no idea why it didn't work.. never done it before.. maybe you should try using heimdall. i think its better when it comes to changing the partition table.. but i don't know, it might not work at all or might turn your tab into a fruit*..

thanx for your respond, it looks like that the pit file is working, but in my case, i have to flash the original firmware.......
and when i try to flash other region firmware, it just fails as you can see in the report above........
the chinese firmware bootloader is locked.......i tried to clean the Cache and Davlik files (but not the factory setting) prior to flashing and again operation failed.
My last chance is to include factory setting cleaning prior to flashing, but i am afraid that may ruin the whole device.
Anyway, from within Android system files, i managed to get rid of all system programs that i don't want, and install all other programs that was missed, including the android Market..... and everything is alright.

SOLVED: S5 is soft-bricked and flashing anything through odin fails

SOLUTION: I was trying to run Odin in a VMWARE Fusion Virtual Machine. Make sure you are running ODIN on a true windows machine and this should help with rom flashing issues like this one. I borrowed a friend's windows laptop and BOOM! SUCCESS! I'm still a little confused as to why it worked last night on the virtual machine but it doesn't matter now. Please don't hit me too hard with your tomatoes... sneaks out the back door...
I've been lurking on these forums for years (since I had an Epic 4g Touch) and I really respect and applaud the work you all do on here. I'm really in tough times right now with my brand new GS5 and don't know where to go or what to try. I got my phone last week and before doing any OTA updates I tried to flash CF Auto Root. I used the OEM 3.0 cable that comes with the phone and ODIN failed. This left me at a soft-brick with the device only going into download mode and giving me the error message, "firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies and try again." I've had no luck at all connecting my phone to KIES. This was last saturday. I tried restoring using stock samsung firmware but ODIN failed every time.
Fast forward to last night.
I bought a Micro USB 2.0 cable and decided to try to flash Samsung stock firmware using it.
SPR-G900PVPU1ANCB-20140411173003 is what I tried flashing using the 2.0 cable. I used ODIN v 3.09 and IT WORKED. My phone completed successfully and restarted. Once I got to the homescreen I noticed that everything seemed to be back to normal. I had no data loss or anything.
I SHOULD HAVE STOPPED HERE AND BEEN HAPPY... but now I was feeling overly confident since this new cable seemed to be the fix for the problems.
I updated the phone OTA twice to the latest firmware, NE5.
Then I tried to flash Phil's CWM recovery and put the SU zip on my phone storage following the instructions on a thread here.
The ODIN flash of the CWM Recovery FAILED and now I think I'm back to where I was before. I cannot seem to flash anything through ODIN (stock firmware, custom recovery, root).
I have tried flashing NE5 stock firmware and the original NCB firmware with no success. I cannot access recovery, just download (odin).
At the top reads:
ODIN MODE
PRODUCT NAME: SM-G900P
CURRENT BINARY: CUSTOM
SYSTEM STATUS: OFFICIAL
KNOX WARRANTY VOID: 0X1 (4)
QUALCOMM SECUREBOOT: ENABLE (CSB)
RP SWREV: S1, T1, R1, A1, P1
UDC START
followed by
"firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies and try again."
I know you all are the most knowledgeable android group on the net so if I can't figure this out here then i'll just accept my stupidity and eat the cost of a new phone.
Thank you all very much for your patience and support.

You're replying to a seven month old post, and it says solved in the OP. What specifically are you having a problem with?
Im also having the same issue, the s5 we have here does the same thing, I may try a win 7 pc since the pc I was using is 8.1 x64
odin fails almost instantly when flashing stock items over to the phone via Odin.
i can either get to the download screen or the firmware error screen and thats it....testing win 7 now.
here is what im getting ....win 7 didnt seem to make a difference.
been looking for the CSC and other files not bundled in a all in one and havent been able to find them for the SM-G900p

Sounds like you guys in the last couple of posts are on a build newer than oa6. If that is the case, you can't flash oa6 or older firmware any longer.
I had the same thing finally solved by downloading file from sammobile.com.

Which version did you download?
Edit: all I get now is the 'Samsung' splash screen. Also, the only firmware that does not fail in Odin is the OG1 version but it won't boot.
Any help would be appreciated. I just need to get it to stock or something. I can get to the recovery if that helps too.

[Q] It's Dead Jim..... SM-N915P Rom downgrade failure,,

I am hoping that someone can help. I am a bit of a mild Panic. See I had this wonderful idea, that I could downgrade my phone back to 4.4.4. So I booted into twrp to do a system reset, and am now unable to boot the phone at all (I think I may have deleted the system by mistake.). It comes up to a firmware update failure. I have searched the forums to find a solution and now feel like I am going around in circles. When I try to use ODIN to reload the original firmware I get the following trace:

According to the searches I have performed, I need to use Odin to flash the PIT file, but I cannot find were to download a copy of the pit file. I thought that I could extract a copy of the pit file from the ROM, but the tools/steps that are given to extract the img files don't seem to work. Does anyone know of where I can obtain a copy of the PIT file so I can reinstall the 4.4.4 Rom?
You'd have to get aomeone with kitkat to create a pit and send it to you... they have to know how. It really isnt hard at all.. but its the issue of findin someone who is willing to help..
I am installing the Android SDK which gives me a virtual android device. I am hoping I can import the ROM for kitkat ad create the PIT file from that.
Well if anyone has a PIT file for this phone they can email to me, that would be Wonderful. I found a android emulator, but I can't run it because i have a crappy built in video cart that only supports OpenGl 1.1.x and the emulation software won't work without version 2.0. So I am kind of stuck right now.
Ok... this is getting bad
Ok, I guess this should have been posted in the Q & A forum... sorry about that. I am really staring to loose hope.. I have been searching for 2 days to find a pit file for the Note Edge. I find pit files for other note series, but no the note edge, and right now, I can't load any firmware on the device, nada. The partition information has been completely corrupted. I don't know if a pit file for another note series, such as note 3 note 4 would work either. I was hoping I could use a virtual android but I can't seem to find a way to load the rom I want on the virtual android to then extract the pit. Any suggestions, aside from jumping off a cliff (no cliffs around), or taking a large hammer to the phone is welcome.
(At least I still have my humor)

Make sure to add the instructions to your posts..
In Terminal Emulator type "su"
Then type in "dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0 of=/sdcard/out.pit bs=8 count=580 skip=2176"
Then look for the .pit in your SD Card..
Good Luck to you sir. I would have posted it if I had KK.
I mean, it's REALLLLLLY DEAD
So I tried to download the pit file, and that pit file failed. I think that the partition table was so screwed up that the only hope was to rebuild it manually. Since I was getting /data errors when I was in twrp, I figured that I would try to create the file structure manually. I used adb shell to get to a bash (command prompt) and issued a make_ext4fs command. It took the command just fine. Then about 30 seconds later, the system shut down, and that was it. The unit will not turn back on. Period, full stop. I took the phone in to the service center and they could not get it to turn on either. Since it is still under warranty and since I have insurance, they are replacing it.
I doubtful that my make_ext4fs command killed it. when I tried to mount /data I got an error that /dev/block/blah blah was not found, and I used that when I entered the make_ext4fs command. So I think something else was seriously wrong with the device. I hope to get the new phone tomorrow or thursday and with any luck, it will still have 4.4 on it.
Thanks for all those that helped.
The one thing no one said about your attempt to downgrade was that when uou went to lollipop you changed the bootloader. You had to to get it installed. Your attempt to go back to KK was going to fail. Ive not yet seen any attempt to go back successful. Did you try reinstalling lollipop? Or were you only trying to get KK? And with as much as happened with your phone they are actually replacing it? You rooted and bricked your phone. That's amazing

After flashing 5.01 I would've rebooted into recovery and cleared cache and it would boot then.

So, back to the original issue. If someone updates to LP, and then wants to flash BACK to a KK firmware, even if they have the appropriate KK PIT file, the flash will fail as the bootloader CANT be downgraded?

Hi Guys,

@saisagar It's not really a BRICK since it powers up and you are able to get to download mode. My suggestion is trying a different cable / computer / ODIN version.
Here are the MD5 Checksums for the original files on my computer, several have tried using it with success on the thread you posted last

AH.... you may need the PIT file which I do not have for this phone.... Look around and I will too, just not today because its kinda late here BUT will do tomorrow.
IT's also possible that the lollipop you were on is not able to go backwards from what I hear, some 5.0.1 FW cannot go back. I know this one can

I have tried looking for the PIT file but have been unsuccessful. I would extract it from my phone but I need root and since I moved to LP 5.0.1 I cannot install the TEMP ROOT to do it. This is all assuming that you are on a version that you can go backwards from.

To find the pit file, if in fact you can go back. Maybe someone who has 4.4.4 and temp root and willing to extract it.
Hope this helps.

Thank you so much, just downloading it now, very slow as I'm not a premium member, so this should sort the problem its been 9 hours non stop trying all different roms that have all failed. why is it not as simple as the s4 or s5 I could work around them but this s6 is a little bit more advance than others I think. Also what is the best way to extract data from a broken s6 screen, I have tried to use drfone but before I pay the silly price of £60 I wanted to see if there is any other way to get the photos. the phone is my mums, she has never backed it up and her mum died, she has lost all photos and videos and as you can imagine is heart broken, I am in the recovery screen as I was able to bypass the screen lock and also was able to extract some files with a trail. this is the reason my phone has gone the way it has. I backed my data up on the pc, then formatted it then I was going to enter my mums Samsung account into my phone to check if the phone backed up automatically Thank you again and will let you know how I get on.

well it looks like it working THANK YOU THANK YOU
For my mums
The phone I wiped was mine I was wiping it to add my mums account to Samsung to see if there was a backup.
my mums phone has not been wiped just her screen don't work. I was able to get the phone in recover mode and it was in there as drfone pulled all her pictures up in drfone . I was wondering if there was a free programme that does the same job as drfone.
