Can't flash image with Odin on Verizon S5

Extra notes: I took the Verizon Update Last Week while rooted which screwed up my system so I thought I start fresh, that's what caused this whole fiasco.
I'm having some issues here following this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/veri...volte-t2879348
I ran into a problem after flashing the vulnerable kernel.
When I tried to flash a full stock rom(or any rom) I get an error in odin:
<ID:0/005> Added!!

and on the phone
SW REV CHECK FAIL : [aboot] Fused 2 > Binary 1
I can still seem to flash both the kernels in Odin with no issues, and I tried to repartition with the pit file from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2784880 But still with no luck.
I have a Verizon S5

Booting again!
I found I was able to boot again, but will hold off on rooting again. Here's what I did:
Downloaded Modem and Kernel for OC4 from http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2784880
From Odin 10.4 Entered Kernel in PDA and Modem in CP.
Flashed it successfully!
Let it sit at the Verizon Logo for about 5 minutes!
Not sure if I can flash full roms from Odin or not, but I'm relaxing with this for now.
I'm not sure if it may be related to OC4's update blocking downgrading?
Extra Info:
Version: 5.0
Baseband: G900VVRU1BOC4
Kernel: 3.4.0
Build: LRX21T.G900VVRU2BOE1

I am having same fail, I've read that it's due to us taking that last update a week ago, that's impossible to downgrade from or root.

Yeah I did take that update, it screwed up my system so I thought I'd start fresh... may have been a mistake. But I'm up and running now fortunately, I still can't flash any kind of ROM anymore though.

Did you stay on OE1 or OC4?

I am running into the same issue. odin won't flash anything. so now I am soft bricked. I tried to flash a stock image and bootloader but it keeps failing.

I don't think I'm doing anything wrong. I've upgraded and downgraded with Odin a few times before without any problems.
I've tried both PH3 and PH9 firmware versions.
It's not looking good for rooting...

No you're correct. It doesn't have the ability to downgrade.

Do the replacement notes come with the PHE update? Is the update forced? I need to get my phone replaced at Best Buy but I can't lose root.

I grabbed my replacement today and it came with PH9, though it sure wanted to install PHE shortly after initial boot. It's giving the option to delay for now.

I just got mine and while I was there, I saw them activating and updating everyone's phone so when it came to my turn, I ask for them not to activate. I told them I didn't have time to go through it and would do it later when I got home.
It's still at PH9.
I just grabbed the full PHE firmware update and am talking to another dev to try to find out if there is a chance we can modify this update to remove the rev lock and root.
Will keep everyone posted.

by my understanding, that only relates to bootloader unlocking, and does not work for said purpose.

How can I use the IMEI to find the telephone number that was attached to the device???

It keeps someone from wiping your phone. Pretty sure if you unlock it, it will allow you to Odin back.

I was reading on a Note 7 thread was someone that reset their phone ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-7/how-to/note-7-n930fd-f-downgrade-to-100-t3469787/page3) to get it back to pre- PHE update. Has anybody with a sprint phone tried to reset their phone before flashing in odin to downgrade.?

There is no way to have it downgraded

Unroot and reset back to "as new"

So I got a Samsung Galaxy S8, and installed TWRP. I by mistake deleted the OS, so I have no OS on the phone now, I want to remove all the root and ****, and make it like a new one without any root. How can I do this?
I have tried multiple stuff using odin, but it looks like it stuck on <ID:0/005> SetupConnection.. all the time. Help please?

Have you tried flashing the same android version as before through Odin using the original cable?
i.e. you had android 7.0 and you're flashing 7.0 now and not trying to upgrade/downgrade

How exactly? All I know is that I had Android 8.0, and bought the phone from Norway.

I'm assuming it's a G950F if you purchased it in Norway so the official firmware from:

and then follow the xda thread above

I will have a look at it when I get home tonight.
I did manage to install GoogleWiz : - but I want to just reset everything, and make it as new. Hope it works with the links you sent.
EDIT: Haha the link you sent with download says Approx. 15 kB/Sec. This will take a day to download

note that you will not be able to restore it 100%. Knox is and will be forever broken on your phone. And for that, all Knox related functions won't work either.

Maybe trying using Prince comsy Odin

Given you were able to install TWRP I assume your phone can connect to your laptop so idk why it's not working. A quick Google search found people used older versions of Odin to get it working.

Back to stock from Beta One UI on the GS8

Having a difficult time here.... I've got a Galaxy s8 Sprint variant.. I downloaded the Beta one UI firmware, not official just used ODIN. I'd like to go back to stock and update to newest official release, or just go straight to the latest release. I don't care if it's rooted/unlocked or whatever just stock Sprint software. I've tried a couple of stock firmwares but I keep getting errors in Odin. Currently I"m on PDA G950U1UEU5ZSAB CSCG950U1OYM5ZSAB .
Any pointers would be greatly appreciated.

2 things I can see
1. Use Odin version 3.13.1 it supports the new compression format of newer firmware.
2. The software check fail is due to trying to flash older firmware than what is on your phone. You will need to download firmware with a bootloader version 5 ( 5th number from right of firmware(PDA) name ).

OP can you confirm if it worked?

Hey, THanks a ton.. worked! I don't think I woulda figured that out unless I would have happened to tried a rom with the correct bootloader version. Really appreciate it. One more thing.. which should I use normally.. the home_csc or the csc. I've been using the home one since that's what I see a majority of people using but I don't see any explanation.
thanks again!

Home_CSC - will keep your apps and data.
CSC - clean install same as a factory reset.

Reset G950FD with detection and start up issues

Recently, I reset my old Galaxy S8 and restarted it but was met with the "Only Official Binaries are Allowed to be Flashed" issue.
After a large amount of time spent trying to flash official stock firmware on, I am faced with :
"<ID:0/005> SetupConnection..
<ID:0/005> Complete(Write) operation failed."
I have reinstalled drivers as well as attempted to go into TWRP recovery which is presumably why this issue occurred.
Any suggestions or solutions are greatly appreciated.
Changed to Odin 3.12.7 from 3.13.1 and got:
"<ID:0/005> Added!!

youre probably using the wrong version of Odin. Go get a fresh copy of v3.13.1 and try it with that
and/or a fresh download of the firmware from www.sammobile.com/firmwares but id use frijas firmware download tool in all honesty, its about 12 times faster
