Stuck in boot loop, can't flash stock firmware via Odin - Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5

My bone stock note 5 randomly pooped the bed from normal use and is stuck in a boot loop. Hard reset via recovery doesn't work, it just immediately goes back into boot loop. I can get into download mode though.
I downloaded the stock firmware from the development area here. My phone connects fine to Odin and I can add the firmware I downloaded. When I press start, this is what I get.
My phone is in download mode and the error on my phone reads "SW REV. CHECK FAIL. DEVICE: 3 BINARY: 2"
Odin log reads " <OSM> Enter CS for MD5..
<OSM> Binary Check MD5.. Do not unplug the cable..
<OSM> Please wait..

What am I doing wrong? I have the samsung drivers.exe installed, phone appears to connect to Odin just fine, but I'm getting this error.
Also, if I try turning on usb debugging via the recovery menu (select #5 press home button) it just reboots the phone back into the bootloop, not sure if that has anything to do with it.
Need help fellas!

I should add, I cannot get into recovery. When I hold the power, volume up and home bottom and release when the logo shows up, it only flashes the blue recovery screen for a second and then starts the boot loop.
I have no clue how this phone could have gotten so messed up, especially since I literally did nothing to it. No flashing, no root, no nothing. I was just using it and one day, this happened. So frustrating!

Well, I figured out why Odin wasn't successful. I was trying to flash an older firmware version and through searching, figured out that you cant do that. Once it has a newer firmware on it, you can't flash an older firmware.
I was able to flash QA1 (newest firmware) successfully via Odin, and it passed. Once the phone went to reboot, it brought up the Samsung logo followed by the quick blue flash of the recovery screen only to reboot like it did before. Still stuck in a boot loop.
I cannot get into recovery. It's almost like the recovery "section" of the phone is totally corrupted and even flashing the stock firmware doesn't fix it.
Is there anything else I can do? Any help, tips or thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

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.

[Q] Having trouble upgrading from 2.3.6 to 4.1.2

I have an ATT Samsung SGH-i727 running 2.3.6.
I tried to update it to 4.1.2 stock ATT with Kies, but Kies did not work; it said it could not contact the upgrade server.
So I downloaded Odin 1.85, downloaded ATT stock 4.1.2, and selected the ROM with the PDA button and pressed start. Auto reboot and Reset time were checked.
An hour or two passed and Odin was hanging on system.img.ext4. It never completed. I rebooted, and now it is stuck in "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please selecte recovery mode in Kies and try again."
I tried starting over in Odin, but it says that the write operation failed when it gets to system.img.ext4.
Any guidance on how to get this working?
Thanks!
P.S. Here is the full log from Odin after trying again:

Re-download the Odin file. It's probably a bad download. Check it's md5 after downloading.
go through the troubleshooting section here [HOWTO] NEWB GUIDES To: | RESTORE TO STOCK
note: in your log this line
"<OSM> KIES_HOME_I727UCMC1_I727ATTMC1_844945_REV02_user_l ow_ship.tar.md5 is valid"
there is a space between "l" and "o" in the word "low", did you edit the file name b4 using odin or is the space there because of the copy/paste to the post.
if I had to guess it would be driver issues since odin confirmed the md5 was ok, but go through the trouble shooting section from above link
Also a trick I've learned with Odin, instead of just double clicking to open, right click and select run as administrator. haven't had a hang on it since using this method. Maybe that will help.
Fixed
Redownloaded firmware using link in troubleshooting guide and updated successfully. Thanks.

[HELP] Odin Fail on GT-P5113 Tab 2 10.1

First off, I have TWO (2) of these guys. Same model number. I flashed 1 successfully. These came from a flea market. The one that upgraded successfully was working. The other one, was labeled "PARTS" and just bootloops.
This one, I am UNABLE TO GET INTO RECOVERY by pressing "PWR+VOL DOWN", unlike the first one. I AM able to get into DOWNLOAD mode and attempt to flash the 4.2.2 update like I did the first one.
The problem is ODIN is throwing a "FAIL!" on this one.

I am using ODIN 3.10. Not sure if there is any way to force a recovery. I don't OWN these, they are a Co-Workers. Just curious if using a PIT file to repartition would be best, or if I need to flash a new bootloader or something. In DOWNLOAD mode, the screen says:
Odin Mode:
Product Name: GT-P5113
Custom Binary Download: No
Current Binary: Samsung_Official
Any help?
Update:
Tried to use a PIT file to restore the partition tables, but all I get is "There is no PIT Partition". I have tried a few PIT files for the 5110/5113 as well as trying to flash it standalone and with said ROM. Not sure if there are any other methods or steps involved.
Any help would be awesome!

*sigh* Please, I need help

I have a SCH-R530C Samsung Galaxy S3 phone that I got from my sis as a mini-computer (better than lugging the laptop around). I woke up last weekend to find it softbricked: it loads to recovery and gives me the android robot with a red exclamation mark for a moment before rebooting and giving me a "Power Reset of Unknown Upload Mode" error. I looked up information, found Odin and the right firmware to flash: Nothing happened; it gave me Fail no matter what, even if I load it with laptop. Nothing CAN flash on here, which is puzzling to me - I keep getting Fails.
Alright, so what now? I am at wit's end. I don't think the phone was in USB debugging mode, and I am banging my head every time a help site mentions the procedures need it there to work. :crying:
Alright, tried flashing CWM recovery - nothing
TWRP - nothing
Tried Hero's fix - nothing
Heck, even tried ThePagel's fix on a lark - nothing
Had Lrs121 give me a pit file of a the SCH-R530X and tried to flash with firmware, got this:

Odin firmware flashing always fails

I have a Galaxy note 10.1 running kitkat 4.4.2 (GT-N8000)
Yesterday i was browsing the internet when suddenly the device decided to shut down and went on a restart boot loop where it would show the "Samsung galaxy note 10.1" screen for a while and then reboot and re-show the same screen
i have tried entering recovery mode but the tablet keeps restarting without end the only thing i can access is download mode
So recently i tried flashing using Odin but when ever i try to flash any file it shows this error

I have tried flashing a stock recovery so i can try and wipe the current data
I have tried to download multiple stock roms from jelly bean to kitkat which all ended up failing
I have tried flashing the tablet with a "Repair rom" which contains the BL AP CSC and Modem files
i think that if i can still access the download mode that there is some hope to recover?
Any solutions?
Thanks in advance.
If i posted this in the wrong section forgive me i have just started out
