Trying to return to stock, Odin Won't flash

I lost my 4g randomly. Blown sim maybe? But i'm trying to return to a touchwiz stock rom so that I can attempt a sim reprovision, but odin won't flash the device.
Here's the odin log

Anyone seen something like this before? Or solutions to the no 4g problem as thats the root cause of all of this mess.
note: My IMEI is still in tact.

Back in the day I lost data and imei from flashing 4.2.2 roms
I would have to go back to stock to fix.
I would have this problem and I was clueless
For whatever reason I tired on my moms computer and it worked fine.
It was not a bad download either. I still use the same files to date.
Hope this works for you.
God bless the American people

Please Help, Odin Woes SM-G930V

I'm sorry if I'm not doing this right, its my first time posting here, but I need help.
I tried flashing SM-G930U to my SM-G930V.
Odin failed, and I rebooted my phone. It will only reboot to download mode or recovery mode.
- I have tried redownloading files to check for corruption.
- Using different versions of Odin.
- Flashing to the stock files, which also fails.
- Using stock USB cable.
- Using different ports.
It doesn't seem like Odin will flash anything

You flashed the wrong model ROM to the wrong model S7 ?
Maybe that's why you bricked it

Ok if your phone is saying anything like binary 3>1 when Odin fails that means you are using older firmware that won't flash to your upgraded bootloader. I'll upload the fw I have to mega if I can get my pc to cooperate and I'm happy to help if I'm able to i know the struggles of Odin problems

You are the best!
Just so I learn, may I ask: If the fw I'm trying to flash is the latest, how could it be older than the fw which was already on my phone?
Hope that made sense.
EDIT
Thank you so much! After a full day trying to figure this out I found this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/att-galaxy-s7/how-to/g930uueu4api3-firmware-download-t3481159 like five minutes ago. Those files worked!

Looking for help with my bricked Note 5 Sprint

https://forum.xda-developers.com/not...3#post65243282
This is a post I made previously about a year ago. Yesterday I picked the phone back up and tried to figure things out again. A year ago I never really got anywhere. I have never flashed anything or used Odin.
This is how far I got yesterday and I am looking for some advice. I tried flashing a stock ROM via Odin because the guy who commented said I should try that. So yesterday I did.
This is the site I followed.
https://devs-lab.com/how-to-unbrick-...xy-note-5.html
I downloaded Odin3 v3.10.0. I then downloaded Samsung Keys to install the usb driver but it wouldn't even detect the phone. That didn't work so I went here to get the drivers installed.http://www.samsung.com/us/support/ow...y-note5-sprint
I then downloaded the stock Rom the website had on it that matched the Product name SM-n920P that comes up when the phone is in download mode.
http://stockroms.net/file/GalaxyNote...T2BPC3_SPR.zip
After that finally downloaded I extracted the Rom to the desktop. I opened Odid clicked on AP like the website said and clicked Start. I then received a Nand Write Start error and nothing happens.
Here is a picture of what Odin looks like when I tried to do it.
http://i.imgur.com/31hTrq3.jpg
Thank you for your help and if I sound like a moron I am sorry I am not very experience when it comes to this.

- When you add the tar.md5 file don't remove the .md5, it will verify the file integrity and may take a few minutes to do so.
- You must be in download mode to use Odin. When you attach the phone, one of the squares should light up telling you which com port is attached.
- You might be blocked from flashing older firmware, PC3 is rather old. Try a newer firmware. All firmwares are available in my repository:
https://www.mediafire.com/folder/byye3kocz6nn4/Stock_Roms_Note_5
Files are zipped. Unzip and place the tar.md5 in AP.

I forgot to mention I did have the phone in download mode when I previously attempted to download that file on Odin.
I think I just added the file I didn't know the .md5 got removed. Should I add it a different way to make sure it isn't removed.
Which firmware in the repository should I use? They all look like the same thing to me. Except for the one at the end that says full wipe.
Should I just download one of the newer firmwares on that list and put the phone into download mode and give it another go? If so which file and how?
Again thank you for your help and I apologize if you have already told me something and I just didn't understand.

Don't mess with file extension.
They aren't listed chronologically but alphabetically, pd is newer than pc3 and so on. Try pd2 first maybe.

Alright thanks bro I appreciate all your help and understanding. I will try the 2nd one like you said. It says it will take 2 hours to download so I can use it on Odin and give it a try. I will post an update later crossing my fingers this works.

try a different cable, try the cable in a different usb port or try it on another computer too if that doesn't work.
You could also try taking it to the sprint store and having them flash it for you. I think they might charge a fee for that, so ask first.

Alright I tried them all again with a new cord and a different port. When my cousin gave me the phone I don't think the contract was left in a good standing. Would providing them with the phone show up under his name and possibly make them not want to do it? Also any idea on how much they may charge if you had to guess? I'm really strapped for cash right now and am trying to fix this phone for my dad because his phone is messing up and we can't afford another phone. Do you think I should try to flash some different ones off the list you provided and give it a shot? I was hoping to fix it at home because I'm not sure what Sprint will say when I go up there. Here are the retries. Thanks again for all the help, sorry it keeps being such a hassle.

I don't know what Sprint charges, it used to be $35. They may not look at it if there is no active account for it anyway.
Maybe check with some local cell third party phone shops and ask what they would charge to flash the factory image back to the phone.

I suggest you to change usb cable, reinstall drivers on pc, use a different usb port, if still same try on a different computer. It looks like phone isn't in download mode in logs from odin

I think it's been in download mode it says downloading and do not turn off target. Do you think maybe I have a bad version of Odin or installed the wrong drivers. Do these drivers look correct for this phone?
I downloaded the drivers here because the phone wouldn't pick up on Keis or smartswitch to do it.

Yes version ver. 1.5.45.00 looks fine.
Uninstall kies & smartswitch if they are installed and also the Samsung driver suite. Reboot and just install the drivers alone. They may be conflicting.

Don't forget to change usb port from pc that you are using now with another one and see if any changes

Ok I finally got it guys. I tried it ob my other computer and everything worked like a charm! The note is working great and lets me into it. Thank you so much for all you're help. I couldn't of done it alone. I just have one more question now. My dad is on AT&T is there a way I can unlock the phone to use the Sprint Note 5 on AT&T for my dad? I have the old sim card that my cousin left in it. It is a AT&T card for some reason not sure why. I thought about calling Sprint and asking them to do it but I don't have an account with them. Any more suggestions on what should do now to get the phone to work for my Dad on AT&T?:fingers-crossed:

Dang I just tried to open the phone and it still has a Finger Print Lock. How can I get rid of this and gain access to the phone?

There's a tool for that but it is difficult to use.
You should verify the phone has a clean esn, you can google that.
You wont be able to activate the phone on any U.S. carrier if the meid has been blacklisted anyway.

I got into the phone last night the FRP was already off. I guess when my cousin had it a year ago it had been turned off. So I hard reset the phone and it worked. Right now all you can do is use it on wifi. I'm gonna get the ESN checked and make sure it is clean then hopefully I can take it to Sprint and they will unlock it so I can use it at attached.

S6 Stuck at Logo Screen, flashed new ROM twice with no change

Hello,
A bit of back story first - yesterday, my mother's Galaxy S6 (SM-G920F) suddenly rebooted to the device's logo screen ( the "Samsung Galaxy S6....powered by android" one) and it's been stuck there since. There had been no "tinkering" so to say with the device; debugging was disabled, the bootloader had not been tampered with at all, and all the updates were done through the official android route. The last major update was around a month ago, to Nougat from MM, after which I cleared the cache. The latest update was about 10 days ago, a minor Nougat one, but the cache had not been wiped.
Now down to business. The phone does not turn off at all. Holding the power button and the volume down just reboots it to the same screen. That being such, I cannot access recovery mode. I can however access Download Mode which makes be believe that all hope is not lost.
Using Odin, I attempted to flash a stock ROM, which for this model was Android v5.1.1, and now I understand why that wouldn't work. At this point instead of the logo screen, it showed a blue screen saying something along the lines of "An error has occurred while updating your phone, please use Smart Switch emergency recovery". I had tried to connect to smart switch before but it wouldn't recognize the device. I was saving initialization as a last resort.
I then flashed the most recent MM ROM for this model (which I found on sammmobile) using Odin, having read it was possible to still downgrade, and believing that perhaps Nougat was causing this problem. And it was successful, except the phone now returned to the logo screen. Again, with the same problems as before. And I still couldn't wipe the data and cache because I still couldn't access recovery mode.
Finally I connected the phone to Smart Switch and chose to initialize it. After going through all the steps, and downloading the files, it said it was successful but the phone is still stuck at the damn logo screen. I can still access download mode for what it's worth but I haven't a clue now as to what I should do next.
Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

When you open it, press BL and select file which starts with BL from downloaded (from Samfirm) and extacted zip folder.
Do the same thing for AP, CP, CSC.
When you set 4 files to Odin, connect your phone to your PC in download mode and click "Start" on Odin.
If this method doesn't fix you issue, you have to replace the motherboard then.

no luck

Odin log says that there's no problem.
The produce I've wrote above is the last think you can do on new Samsung devices.

Do you have any idea what could have caused this issue? Would changing the motherboard be guaranteed to fix this and if so, how?

Replacing motherboard will not help You unless You have a way to program EFS and IMEI information to it.

I messed up rooting s8+ now can't flash back to normal

Hi so found a guide on magisk on how to root s8+, but the version of twrp they used didnt accept touch input, so had to reboot the phone. I then flashed the latest twrp for that phone from the twrp website, but then when I went to wipe the data from twrp it said it couldnt mount some folders.
Anyway, so figured I should just wipe and start again. Downloaded latest stock firmware, loaded up the 4 files in Odin. if I use home_csc, the flashing process finishes in like 5 seconds saying successful, it should take longer since it needs to flash ap etc too but it doesn't seem to do that (but odin still says successful).
If I flash the normal CSC file instead, odin get stuck on "set partition"

Can someone help?

Try to boot into recovery mode and factory reset again, and then instead of downloading the latest firmware, try to find a older firmware for you device and see if you can flash that

ignore this post please

I'm sorry this happened to you. I hope finding an older firmware will allow you to boot back into your device

Glad to hear you got it figured out? When you used older Odin, where you able to use latest firmware ?
