Issues Installing Stock Firmware - Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot

I am trying to install the stock firmware back on my phone. Right now I have it soft bricked.
When I go into the download mode (volume down, home button, power button) I see several items in the upper left hand corner of the screen:
ODIN MODE
PRODUCT NAME: SPH-L720
SYSTEM BINARY: Custom
SYSTEM STATUS: Custom
KNOX KERNAL LOCK: 0x0
KNOX WARRANTY VOID: 0x1
CSB-CONFIG-LSB: 0x30
WRITE PROTECTION: Enabled
eMMC BURST MODE enabled
When watching videos, I dont see this many listings on other peoples phones.
When I use ODIN to lay down the stock firmware it fails and I get the following errors from ODIN:
<ID:0/003> Initialzation..
<ID:0/003> Get PIT for mapping..
<ID:0/003> Firmware update start..

<ID:0/003> NAND Write Start!!
<ID:0/003> FAIL! (Auth)
<OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 1)
My phone now shows the following:
ODIN MODE
PRODUCT NAME: SPH-L720

SYSTEM STATUS: Custom
KNOX KERNAL LOCK: 0x0
KNOX WARRANTY VOID: 0x1
CSB-CONFIG-LSB: 0x30
WRITE PROTECTION: Enabled
eMMC BURST MODE enabled
START [224, 1448]
SW REV.CHECK FAIL : fused : 4 , Biney : 1
Any suggestions?
Thanks!

What firmware where you on?
What firmware did you try to flash and where did you get it?
I bet if you searched you'd find many threads about MK2 soft bricked/not booting/stuck at boot etc. Many of them.

You can't install an old firmware on a phone that has been updated to 4.3. That is the error you get. Download the MK2 tar from here and intstall: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2601443

You can't go back once you've gone through Kitkat upgrade, chances are even though it has failed it will still have upgraded your bootloader.. you have to re-flash KK again
i have been trying all afternoon to get this working but nothing, i have come close now to reflashing 20 times and still nothing.

At this point I believe you have 2 choices:
a) wait for 4.4.2 for your region - that might be the only way to keep knox 0x0
b) use the method described somewhere around here for Hong-Kong N9005 that were bricked with 4.4.2 - but that will make your knox 0x1
if you find the link can you post it please.
thanks
Use another usb port it happened to me with my n2

If you quote my post I get notified that you replied, if not I must guess it
Also this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2612190
but IMHO you should read around more before doing anything. And remember that you will have knox 0x1 = no warranty.
well ive just tripped knox
i have external insurance for my phone, worse case is i throw it down the stairs and claim on home insurance,
Someone can now close this thread.
i seem to have fixed my issue.
im a Mac user and i was using VMWare to emulate windows, i saw somewhere someone had put a thread up about not using it as its crap. so i installed bootcamp and the rom installed 1st time no problems,

[Q] Unable to return to stock rom

Long story short, I've been trying to get my phone back to stock unrooted rom from TriForce rom and each time i do it, it will not install and fail. I've tried triangle away but that didn't do anything either.
Can anyone help me get back to stock rom?
I made a post about this so long ago I can't find it (thank you work for keeping me busy but still not rich)

If youre on 4.3, Flash 4.3 or more...
If youre on 4.4.2, FLASH ONLY 4.4.2, not even 4.3...
Do not try flashing anything lower, a downgrade is not possible anyhow....
Press Thanks if I helped

Samsung Galaxy S4 (I9500): Bricked After Trying To Install Custom Recovery

Hello.
I got a new Galaxy S4 (I9500) this October, and decided I would go ahead and install custom recovery on it. Me thinking I can get anything to work did not heed the warnings that this model does not support it go ahead and try anyway. After several failed attempts I find some software on the Play store that seems promising. Long story short, I no longer have a functioning recovery partition, and my phone will always try to boot into recovery mode unless I boot in Odin mode.
I have tried to follow several guides, most of which tell me the same thing:
Get Samsung drivers (not Kies)
Download Odin (one version or another)
Get the I9500 Firmware and install using Odin.
My phone is (from the sticker below the battery):
MODEL:GT-I9500
FCC ID: A3LGTI9500
SSN:-I9500GSMH
It is also factory unlocked.
I did notice however that the text in the top left when in Odin mode says it is a SGH-I337
The full text:
ODIN MODE
PRODUCT NAME: SGH-I337
CURRENT BINARY: Samsung Official
SYSTEM STATUS: Custom
KNOX KERNEL LOCK: 0x0
KNOX WARRANTY VOID: 0x0
CSB-CONFIG-LSB: 0x30

I have tried flashing both 4.4.2 (as it was delivered with) and 5.0.1, but I get the same error:

The error that is displayed on the phone is:

Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Edit: Added phone error

Note 4, no binary PIT found

Hello
I wanted to use my Samsung Note 4 again.
When i started it, i came into the recovery mode.The phone seems not to start into the os.
The phone was working normaly before.
I made a factory reset and tried to restart the phone. But it got stuck.
So i removed the batterie and put it back in to turn the phone on, but i wouldnt. I removed the battery and waited a bit.
I again came into recovery mode.
Then i decided just to flash a new firmware via odin.
So i downloaded the official firmware form samfirm and tried to flash it but an error came: 'There is no pit partition'.
On the Note 4 Error: no pit binary
i googled a bit and found out i have to flash the PIT. So i downloaded the right pit for the firmware and tried again. Same Error
I dont know why its not working
I got the firmwares from sammobile. I tried 3 different.
My phone is from austria, so i tried TTR, MOB and DRE. For Pit i have SFR and VFG
What am i doing wrong? what am i missing?
Here is the log from Odin:

galaxy s4 I9505 soft bricked odin fail

Hello.
Today i tried to flash the stock firmware I9505XXUHPK2 BTU again because i was trying out some custom rom found on xda but decided to get back to stock.
After wiping my current os by TWRP i went to download mode and flash the firmware but failed.It says

please help.TIA
Flash again without the pit file. A pit file is needed if Odin can't read the memory chip's partition table.
Also try using different usb ports and usb cables.
