Looking for OTA stock update.zip for N910F

Hi All
I am looking for an update.zip file I can use to flash the stock 6.0.1 rom again over my existing version to fix a USB connection issue. I need a Samsung OTA update.zip which can be flashed from the stock recovery via an sd card.
This has come to light as I've recently tried to update my note 4 to nougat but came across an issue where the phone will not connect with my PC via USB. I have tried all the usual tricks on the phone (dev options, usb debugging, MTP+ADB etc) but nothing was working. In the end I have replaced the micro usb daughter board on the phone thinking there must be an issue with the data pins but the phone still refuses to connect but charges fine. Strangely the phone thinks it's connected fine but the PC says it is not getting a device descriptor response. I have checked drivers etc and also tried 3 other PCs all of which connect to my old S4 without issue. I have also tried various USB cables including a new genuine samsung one.
Due to not being able to connect to a PC in any mode (such as odin download mode or recovery) and having the stock recovery without root my only hope is that a new update.zip will sort out corruption from the last OTA update. I believe this may be the reason as I was able to connect fine until the most recent update a couple of weeks ago. I have tried using a zip from the samfirm downloader but the recovery failed immediately with 'unable to map file'
Any help you guys can give would be greatly appreciated as I really don't want to be stuck on Marshmallow now Samsung will no longer be updating the Note 4.

I have tried connecting in MTP mode, odin download and recovery mode with usb debug both on and off
Many Thanks
Luke

Samsung A5 (A-510M) PC does not recognize "failed to find /misc partition"

Hello:
First of all, excuse me, I'm using a translator because my English is not very good. I was using a custom rom and wanted to back to stock so I flashed the correct firmware for my model (A-510M ARO NOUGAT) via ODIN. The process ended and had no errors. When I turned on the phone and connected it to my pc and it does not recognize it, it only charges the battery. I tried to format from the recovery and it shows the message "failed to find / misc partition"
- I tried with other USB cables.
- I tested it with other USB ports.
- I've updated Samsung drivers.
- I tried the secret menu and it does not work.
- does not recognize the download mode either
- I can not use ODIN to reinstall the firmware.
- Samsung Kies does not recognize the phone.
- Does not recognize ADB mode
The truth is that I am desperate and I do not know what to do. I can not reinstall the firmware if the PC does not recognize it. If anyone knows a possible solution I am very grateful.
thanks to all

i came across your situation long ago. it is the pc that doesn't recognize your phone. try with different pc. also you can try to format using settings>backup & reset menu. I ended up resetting my pc in order to recognize my phone.

Hi! I tried but is not working. I discover a new problem: when i connect the USB cable the phone shows me a message: "the battery temperature is very low. Charge stopped". Could be another the problem?
Thank you all

No worries. We don't have misc partition so it's normal.
FRP lock won't reset on firmware flash. You need to enter your google account on boot.
To disable frp lock before factory reset next time, either remove your google account from your phone, or disable screen lock before reset.

You can't flash new firmware from download mode if you are in frp lock.

You need to install the Samsung USB drivers first.
Have you tried restoring your TWRP backup?

Samsung SM-7387V Download Mode "USB Device Not recognized"

So I'm trying to flash a Samsung SM-7387V Galaxy Tab A with new firmware as it currently has Knox / Mobicontrol
So it is locked down and you can't do a factory reset. I'm using Odin 3.13.1 and have the firmware which has the 4 files needed. I was able to initially get it to show up on Com6 is Odin but after a few min it complained it couldn't connect to the com port. After that any time I'm in Download mode windows complains it doesn't recognize the device. No amount of uninstalling / re-installing the Samsung USB Drivers, changing USB ports, windows reboots has fixed anything.
The only time I can get Winblows to detect the USB device properly is when booting it up normally.
So any suggestions on what gives? Also suggestions on if I'm on the right path to restore the device to remove Mobicontrol.

Additional notes: I've tried on a second PC with a different USB cable, same results as soon as you connect it in the boot loader mode. Both systems complain it can't recognize the device. Windows 10 systems.
I was going to include some photos of the boot screen / windows error, but it seems you can't attach photos or new members can't?

New here so this was my first post, do first posts show up automatically as it seems to be a ghost town? Not sure if this topic is viewable? Thanks!

Unable to FRP neither root - Samsung galaxy s6 edge plue

I cannot bypass google account verification neither able to root it
My phone is unrooted and have no TWRP installed on it
I connected my USB stick via an OTG connector but my phone did not see it
Booting menu has no option to boot into the USB stick connected via OTG and the phone does not have a slot to insert an SD card to root and flash TWRP
I cannot use ADB via my computer because I cannot access the settings on my device to enable USB debugging even though I downloaded latest Samsung USB device driver on different computers but Odin does not show up my phone
My computers show my phone connected as Unknown USB device (device descriptor request failed) under Universal Serial Bus Controller in Device Manager
I can only connect to WI-FI and keep clicking next until I reach the screen where I have to insert google account to setup the phone but I do not have the google account used before in order to complete the setup
Is there a way to have my phone bypass google account verification or root it and install TWRP on it
Thanks
