Need help recovering Samsung S5 SM-G900A

Hi, my brother-in-law tried to root his phone but probably didn't know what he was doing with Odin and Kies. I tried to restore the phone with Kies3 but the phone is not recognized and I can't get a recovery code. I've tried the default option of booting into recovery mode and flashing with Odin as Administrator. I'm flashing following a guide on this forum using [Auto Reboot] [F. Reset Time] checked in the options and loading [AP] [CP] [CSC] first. Others have commented not to use the [BL] file. The problem is when I try to flash it fails and I get this message:

On the screen of the phone it says:

I've tried everything I could flashing each one by one [BL] [AP] [CP] and [CSC]. Apparently the only one that successfully flashed through was [CP]. The phone can boot into recovery mode fine, when I start the phone normally it just hangs on the Samsung Galaxy S5 screen. Any help in the right direction would be appreciated. I have pretty much GoogledFu'd all the information I can and am using the stock Samsung Galaxy S5 SM-G900A firmware. I have tried different USB ports, the stock Samsung USB cable, and an LG USB cable and that didn't help either.
To flash the firmware using Odin you need to put the phone in Download mode (Power + home + volume down) and not recovery mode. Select PDA/AP in Odin, select the firmware and then click start.

Yes, I already have done that and the only thing that writes successfully is the [CP] file. It fails to write to the NAND and does a FAIL! (Auth). Not sure what else I can do.
Alright I think I figured exactly what he did to the phone. Apparently AT&T locked the bootloader on Lollipop and his phone got upgraded to Lollipop while he was sleeping. So he tried to use Odin to flash the AP for the older KitKat back onto the S5 and this softbricked the phone. As far as I have read there is no way to downgrade back currently to KitKat to get root access. I'm trying to look for stock firmware for Lollipop but I can't find anything for this model. I assume if I flash it back to the latest Lollipop version functionality will be restored. Someone said something about flashing a kernel but I don't know. Not really sure what to do now since I can't find official Samsung S5 SM-G900A firmware to flash back either through the recovery or through Odin.

I am currently in the same boat. Please tell me you found a fix for this and if so, what was it? Any help is greatly appreciated.
@DigitalBeating and @Theamazingcorey
Here is an AT&T lollipop firmware.....

G900AUCU4COI5_ATT4COI5_v5.1.1_Repair_Firmware
I found it (by chance) on a Russian hosting site. They say it's a 'repair' firmware which means it is more than likely going to be more than one file (it'll probably be bootloader, modem and OS) So you'll have to load each file into it's respective Odin 'slot'.
If I understand how repair firmwares work, it should wipe and format the data partitions (instead of simply overwriting them) as it flashes. This will give the best chance of a successful flash.....

I cannot thank you enough, that seems to have fixed my problem. I though I was going to be stuck with a paperweight, lol.
Would you happen to know if there is a way to root the the AT&T S5 with 5.1.1?
Glad it worked fella.....
With regards to rooting, everything I've read on XDA indicates AT&T Lollipop can't be rooted....and the possibility of downgrading to achieve root is non existent.......
But there's a LOT if information on XDA, and I'll be the first to admit that I haven't read it all........

@Theamazingcorey just out of interest, can you confirm what files were inside the zip?

Thanks for the info. Sorry I was not able to get back to you sooner, I've been slammed these last couple of days. Have family coming into town this evening and between work and getting ready for their visit, I haven't had time to think straight, lol.

Samsung Galaxy S5. Cant flash stock rom and Update it with kies.

The Samsung Galaxy S5 (SM-G900F) is stuck at the boot screen and keeps restarting. I cant go into recovery mode. I can only go into the download mode. I tried to flash it with odin and update it with kies. But none of it works.
At the download mode screen it says:
ODIN : flash read failure
Error: There is no pit binary
Odin screen:
<ID:0/013> Odin engine v(ID:3.1101)..
<ID:0/013> File analysis..
<ID:0/013> SetupConnection..
<ID:0/013> Initialzation..
<ID:0/013> Get PIT for mapping..

<ID:0/013> There is no PIT partition.

Got your back.
Hey man just make sure you closed odin completely.
1. Start Kies
2.Click Tools-> Firmware upgrade and initilazation
3.Type in model of your phone for example sm-g900i which is my Australian S5 then it will ask you for your SN which is a 16 digit code serial number located on the back of your phone when you remove the battery.
Then just follow steps until it asks YOUR phone to be connected... DONT connect it yet...first put it in download mode; phone turned off; press home but, power but, and vol down bot at same time then press vol up key to enter download mode.
Connect phone; then just wait 1 hour and voila you got your phome with latest stock firmware.
Please reply to us if this worked for you as this can help new users to determine what to do.
Cheers
Sorry but English is not my first language, hope i made myself clear.
If there is anything else i can do to assist please let me know.:laugh:
Which Kies works with the S5? Because neither seem to be working
I'm having pretty much the same problem, had a bad flash and can't boot into recovery or get it detected in Kies
And I can't flash stock Marshmallow or Lollipop till I finish downloading them
Going through firmware upgrade and installation option and putting in the model just causes Kies to freeze using either version

Kies will automaticlly download the correct atock fw.....just use Kies lite versiom which is the one i used a couple of days ago and had exactly the same problem as you i actually had a corrupter pit file so there was no partition being found...again install and use lite kies for samsung then just dlow the steps ut should automatically download the firmware and install it into samsung at the same time you shpuld not remove the cable whatsoever during download and installation and actually make sure yu have the drivers for samsung installed and that the usb cable you are using is original....hope it works if you need a detailed guide with instalation steps let me know or heck i cpuld even help out with a video just let me know.
Hope you get it sorted and if you do please let us all know so in the furute people can see the answer.
Cheers.
It's alright I fixed it now, still couldn't get Kies to work
I flashed the latest version of Lollipop (no carrier) to the phone, which initially sent it into a bootloop. But that enabled recovery again so I did a data and cache wipe, flashed the same ROM from ODIN again and it worked

Fully Updated Sprint G930P bootlooping after Odin flash - SW REV CHECK FAIL Error

I got this S7, wanted to flash 930U firmware to use T-Mobile but a failed flash has me in a boot loop. I fully updated before trying to flash, so it is I assume on the newest bootloader, etc.
I have attempted the newest firmware files that I can find (G930AUCS4BQL1) but am still getting the SW REV CHECK FAIL through Odin.
Are there files available that will fix this, do I just need to wait for them to come out, or have I bricked this thing?
Thanks for any help and have a great day!
Update:
- Using PrinceComsy Odin results in: FAIL! (Auth)
- USB Debugging is OFF and I am unable to boot to change that
- I am leaving the BL file blank in ODIN
perhaps you should try using offcial odin when flashing official images.
try version 3.12.3. whatever you do, don't use the princecomsy version unless for flashing engboot

Model SM-G955F
I tried to root it couldn't get some stuff working I ended up going in dev options and turned OEM unlocking either on or off..Then tried to root... Ended up getting the FRP lock and tried to flash to basic rom again.
I'm currently trying to use Odin to install this rom:
DOWNLOAD SAMSUNG GALAXY S8+ SM-G955F EVR UNITED KINGDOM (EE) G955FXXS6DTA1 FIRMWARE on SAMMOBILE
If I try turn it on it says
An error has occured while updating the device software. Use the emergency recovery function in the smart switch pc software. I tried to use smart switch to fix it but they removed the section where you search for models and I used a old verison which said the device was not supported
If I try use odin whilst in download mode it gives the following error
SW REV. Check fail )bootloader) device: 7 Binary: 6 (I think it says SW REV my eyes are terrible and its hard to read lol)
I'm thinking about taking the loss and just selling it on ebay as broken unless someone can help.
Thanks guys

You are trying to flash older firmware than what is on your phone. Device 7 = current bootloader version on phone.Binary 6 = bootloader your trying to flash.
When looking at firmware names the 5th number from the right is the bootloader version number of the firmware you are downloading.You will need version 7 bootloader firmware or higher to flash in Odin.

I have checked and for EVR (EE) version 6 bootloader is the latest one out.
All I can suggest is wait for an update or flash BTU firmware which is on version 7 firmware.
For downloading latest firmware use PC app called frija or samfirm. Far quicker than downloading through sammobile.
Frija
