Getting Galaxy Ace GT-5839i back to stock

I tried putting on the jellyblast rom for the GT-5830i onto this phone (I heard they have the same hardware) but unfortunately it did not go so well and now the phone hangs at the Galaxy Ace logo screen. So now the problem is getting the stock firmware back onto the phone - I have downloaded the Vodafone stock firmware for the phone (UK) from sammobile.com and tried to flash it with Odin.
I have tried with Odin v1.85 and v1.87 although they both fail:

I am using the totoro_0623 pit file as per this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1811196 and then just using the PDA file. I check the Re-Partition, Auto Reboot and F. Reset Time boxes when I attempt this.
I found another method also using Kies through "Firmware upgrade and initialization" - I add "GT-S5839i" as the model name (which it accepts) and my S/N but then it complains that "the model information that you have entered cannot be verified; the device initialization cannot proceed".
I am at a loss as to what to do now, tried using the back ports on my desktop and the supplied USB cable to no avail. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Additionally, in recovery it mentions that it fails to mount /system, and rfs format fails when wiping data and cache whilst in recovery.

ornottin are
With a different cable it gets to the modem part of the flashing then bsod's my computer with pfn_list_corrupt (happened twice in a row at the same point). What is going on here?

Problem solved, google "Galaxy Ace S5830i Flasher& PIT file 100%work" if you have the same issues as me.

Sorry I could not tag your question due to failure with the mobile app. For starters I did not worry about using the auto-root option since I am not worried about tripping Knox counter. I prefer to flash twrp or cwm via Odin and then flash the current version of supersu from the recovery or if you are looking to install a custom Rom you can just flash it instead. Nothing against CF auto-root but this has always worked for me.

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> 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:

How to downgrade from 8.0 to 7.0 on J5-Prime

Hi, so I've nearly given up on doing this, but I've done it before, so I should be able to do it again.
I accidentally upgraded to android 8.0 on my Samsung J5-G570M (J5 Prime - Oi - Brazil) phone, so I would like to go back to 7.0/7.1 or even 6.0. I used Odin last time, and it worked after a few tries, but this time it won't go through. I keep getting the FAIL message on my screen.
This is what I get:

Right now, I just reset the device so I got OEM locked , but the message that I've been getting is still the same. I've downloaded all the correct firmware versions for 7.0 and 6.0 for my device, but none of them seem to work!
Could someone point me towards the right direction?
What I do know is wrong is that this shows up on my phone when I try to flash the old FW:
Kernel Rev. Check FAIL Device:4 Binary:1
So I'm assuming I need to find a FW with another Binary? The Binary changes to 0 sometimes, and if I try to flash AP/BL/CP/CSC as well, it shows "device: 6 Binary: 3" It took me about 4 hours to download each firmware, but I downloaded 4 of them from Sammobile and 2 from updato.
I'm not sure if this is the correct place to ask this question, but please help me. I really want to go back to the previous version!
Also, USB debugging was also on.
I've already reset the device, so I have no issues losing my data. I just want to go back to the previous version of android!
Thank you,
Leo
