I have successfully installed TWRP without a hitch, and I can roll that back to stock recovery if I need to. Now, I have tried every available Sprint friendly rom I can find including stock ROMs. MOAR, etc. Every time I try to install a zip I encounter the same error:
Could not find 'META-INF/com/google/android/update-binary' in the zip file.
Error installing zip file '/sdcard/customROMfile.zip'
Not sure if this helps but the only zip file it ever successfully installed was Galaxy Note 5 OGD/OI6/OK3 Stock Deodexed Roms (https://forum.xda-developers.com/sp...galaxy-note-5-ogd-deodexed-stock-rom-t3191065) That installed correctly but when rebooting the phone is exactly the same - hangs on boot flash SAMSUNG logo screen as soon as you turn it on.
I did try to roll back to the stock firmware using Odin but when I try to choose the file within Odin to push to the phone Odin freezes. I have spent 3 days on this now and I really don't know what to do. I hope I didn't brick this $400 phone. Any help is surely appreciated as I have already had to buy a cheap replacement for the time being.
These are the errors I receive when trying to flash a .tar (stock recovery, custom rom,) within Odin (every version I have tried...... so many different versions its crazy)

Hi !
Try to use some different Odin versions and also be sure you flash the proper firmware file for your device

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> 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

Thanks to Atntpt that opened my mind. I've unpacked .Tar odin package of 5.1.1 and flashed something like modem,boot and recovery (adding .tar in the file names before flash them) one per time, then a custom kernel and last twrp, and the phone stops to reboot. Samsung Switch done the rest of the work. Hi guys, please help me, i'm working no stop on my phone from yesterday without a solution. Yesterday i've tryed to flash mm(Coming from noblerom installed without tripping knox with modified bootloader of 5.0) from the post in general. Flash of mm has fail with an error of a bootloader. then i've tryed to flash latest stock rom(not of my country), and gave me an error in flashing hidden.img, i've tryed to flash in odin, seems fine and phone boots but have no charge. attacched to charger the phone boots and shut down after 5 seconds.
Both recovery and download mode, works
in official recovery and twrp can't mount system
in official says
failed to mount '/system (invalid argument
If you know something about, please help me.

Hello,
I recently borrowed my roommate's Verizon S4 because my phone broke. I rooted it because I have a different provider.
However, in my root addicted mind-set, I decided to get a custom ROM installed and so I tried to download recovery. This phone was running 5.0.1.
Upon downloading a recovery, the phone soft-bricked. It shows the Samsung logo with a wrench, and makes an error message when attempting to boot.
I tried using Odin to flash the stock firmware, but I kept getting the following error:
<ID:0/003> Odin engine v(ID:3.1005)..
<ID:0/003> File analysis..

I've searched long and far and have yet to find a solution. I know that the reason for this issue is most likely due to the 5.0.1. build, but I was hoping that maybe something had developed in the last few months.
Any and all help is appreciated.
Also, I am not able to boot into recovery, but I am able to boot into download mode - I also reinstalled the Samsung drivers, and am using Odin 10.6. I tried using the ME7 firmware, but that didn't lead to much either.
I recently found a Verizon Software Assistant file and my phone won't be recognized on the application. Not sure what next steps are. I posted on reddit too, and no luck there either.

Hi shivpaulchadha
Thanks you for using XDA Assist.
I see you already posted in the correct forum before here. Could you please "bump" your thread up for it could be noticed by others users? I'm sure our experts in there will be able to tackle the issue.
Nice regards and good luck.
.
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

You are trying to downgrade from bootloader 5 to 4 (see here Device 5, Binary: 4 )which it wont let you. download firmware with bootloader 5
Here's what I did from start
Installed TWRP
installed lineage 17.1 with gapps and magisk
Removed everything and installed pixel experience 10 herolte
Volte was not working in both
So I downloaded the stock firmware (latest) according to my model - G930FD INS and tried to flash it through odin as per steps
But
The log gets stuck on 'SYSTEM.IMG' and after a while fails to flash the phone.
I just want to get my stock firmware back so I can start my calls and msgs.
Please help.
I didn't used anything different just clean flashed my phone.
I have the latest firmware for stock

Solved
As the problem was, while flashing with Odin it wasn't showing any error and was only giving out output as Fail, turns out it was a port problem, I changed my USB port and cable and it worked fine. My friend also gave me advice to try it on another laptop because this happens sometimes and sometimes it works.
So if your log is something similar to what I have posted try downloading the latest Odin and changing ports or PCs, if nothing then create an id here and start a thread somebody will help you out for sure.
Peace
