Urgent! Phone wont flash update - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

IM IN THE DEEP ****, AND I NEED SOME MAJOR HELP.
So I was trying to flash the stock ROM back onto my phone so I can send it back to Optus (due to ending my contract) and it won't flash! it gets to about "aboot.mbn" in the message box then fails every time. Tried two different stock ROM's! When it fails it shows "Fail (Auth)" for both stock ROM's. (One is the OPS, Optus xxuemk9 ROM I'm meant to have and the other some arabic region I accidentally downloaded..)
I've got the following setting selected on odin: Auto Boot, F. Restart Time. I'm going through PDA as you're meant to...
When I turn off my phone and turn it back on it goes "Update encountered a problem please select recovery through kies" or something, but I don't trust plugging it into kies...
Please help? I have no idea what's happened or what to do, it's flashed stock ROM's perfectly not even a few days ago.
I even tried adding the PIT file to re-partition but that didn't work..

EDIT:
I tried recovering through KIES but it says the GT-I9505 does not support it?!? And the phone won't connect to KIES to emergency recover any other way! And ODIN won't flash anything on it because it keeps coming up 'FAILED'
Am I screwed or am I screwed??

You can't flash a 4.3 firmware when you already flashed 4.4.2.
You need a 4.4.2 firmware.

Okay.. So flashing any 4.4.2 rom will fix it?
What's weird is I had CM 11 KitKat on it and then flashed the 4.3 stock ROM fine (but for the wrong region) a few days ago?.

That's something completely different.
If you had a 4.4.2 stock rom then you can't revert to a stock rom lower then 4.4.2.
Read the knox thread if you want to know more about it.

Please told me your phone model and what problem is that? you flash the root file and the firmware gone?
It wont happen like that what have you flash please write more detail
It's a basic question that you should learned yourself before jumping into this.
Always learn what to do before anything goes wrong. Let this be a lesson for you.
The solution is really simple:
Just flash a stock firmware.

Your odin flashing sequence failed. Repeat the odin flash procedure with that screen up until successful. Make sure you're plugged into at least a usb2.0 port on your computer, and using the original usb cable that came with the phone.
If you're unsure of what baseband you originally had, your best bet is to flash the latest firmware
If you can't get the latest tar to install using odin, try to run cf autoroot through odin. It has been known to fix that error,
The OP should really come back online and let us know of he has been able to fix the problem.

That's because it's referred to just by OA3. Why does he need a modem?

Odin failing at sboot.bin could mean you are flashing wrong firmware for your phone or your trying to flash older version firmware than what is on your phone(bootloader version). Have you tried latest firmware g950fxxu4cri5.
Yes,I think it's the last one for my phone,actually using RENOVATE_ICE_G95X-13.4,but now I see that it was locked to a Portuguese operator, MEO and I'm trying to flash the unlocked operator rom, could it be that?

Could be. I don't use carrier branded firmware and if I can help it never will there's enough crap just with Google and Samsung. If it does fail with unbranded (carrier) firmware then flash the carrier version. Either way you will more than likely need the latest firmware version to return to stock rom.

it doesn´t want to cooperate,already tested a Carrier rom and unbranded and the error it´s always the same,after loading the binaries on Odin and the COM port get´s blues it fails on the first step.
Finally made it,using this tool https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-tab-s/general/tool-samfirm-samsung-firmware-t2988647
Thanks spawnlives for your help.
