You can always just flash the CORRECT PIT file in Odin to fix issues with fail at hidden.img

I've tried flashing ZEROLTE_USA_TMO.pit with the firmware 7.0 for my S6 edge and it bricked it. The firmware is from sammobil and the pit don't remember where got it from. Since then Nand erased all.
When Im in Odin it says:
Product name: Sm-G925T
Current binary: Samsung Official
System status: Custom
FRP LOCK: OFF
Secure Download: Enabled
Knox warranty void: 1 (0x030c)
RP SWREV B:6 K:3 S:4
After flashing G925TUVS6FRC1_G925TTMB6FRC1_G925TUVS6FRC1_HOME.tar.md5 , alone I with no pit. It gets stuck at Tmobil screen during bootup, I've left it on this screen for at least 30 mins. Im gonna repeat the process and see where that gets me.

In Odin uncheck auto reboot, after flash successful, boot directly to recovery and wipe data/cache. Then let it boot, as always first boot can take a while. At times my G925F took over 30 minutes to boot up first boot.

G900T1 Recovery booting....

Hello,
I received a S5 with lots of problems.
It only boots on Download Mode, not in Recovery Mode or normal boot.
When you tried to boot it normaly or with volume up+home+power buttons, it just show the logo with "Samsung Galaxy S5... Powered by ANDROID" or this logo plus "recovery booting..."
I tried to flash multiple firmwares with exactly the same results (just change strings on Download Mode) (using different versions of ODIN and USB cables):
-G900T1UVU1ANE7_G900T1TMB1ANE7_G900T1UVU1ANE7_HOME.tar.md5 + KLTE_USA_MTR.pit (stock rom + pit, and w/o the pit)
-G900T1UVS1BOL1_G900T1TMB1BOL1_TMB
-G900TUVS1FOL1_G900TTMB1FOL1_TMB
I don't know what the previous owner made to the phone, only that he tries to flash another ROM.
Even I noticed that when I try to flash something the knox counter doesn't change.
Sticker in back says:
MODEL: SM-G900T1
SW: G900T1UVU1ANE7
HW: 1.0
Please I need HELP to revive this phone.

Use odin 3.09

I used Odin v3.09 and v3.10.7.

Is possible that reactivation lock is active. the only way to fix it is install a stock KitKat rom ROM enter in the Samsung account when it asks and then deactivate it.
Sent from my SM-G900F using XDA-Developers mobile app

G900T1UVU1ANE7 (4.4.2 stock KK) flashed but, like before, only boot in download mode.

Ignore what is said on the phone sticker, what model is displayed in download mode?
And as for the knox counter, it won't change while you try to flash only official stock firmwares.....

With stock firm recently flashed:
ODIN MODE
PRODUCT NAME: SM-G900T1
CURRENT BINARY: Custom
SYSTEM STATUS: Official
KNOW WARRANTY VOID: 0x1 (2)
QUALCOMM SECUREBOOT: ENABLE (CSB)
AP SWREV: S1, T1, R1, A1, P1
UDC START

Ok.....Try here......

On this page you will find 'repair' or 'engineer' firmwares (there is one for the 900t I checked) these firmwares are used by service staff to repair software on devices.....Instead of overwriting what is already on the device, they wipe and format the device while they flash it.......
http://i.imgur.com/rVnFwJM.jpg

Nothing changes after flash. Just 'CURRENT BINARY: Stock' in Download Mode.

Have you tried to boot into recovery?
http://i.imgur.com/rVnFwJM.jpg

QUALCOMM SECUREBOOT: ENABLE (CSB)
Not 100%, but I think that means your bootloader is locked to the latest firmware, which would mean you would only be able to flash the same or a newer stock ROM

The 'QUALCOM SECURE BOOT' line is present on my Odin screen too....
{

}
You can't really tell from this image, but every line of text above the qualcom secure boot line is bright (highlighted?), but the Qualcom secure boot line and RP SWREV line are darker.....
I'm guessing that if the 'Qualcom .......' line was brighter in the same way as the previous 5 lines of text, then it would be an 'active' feature......... @*Detection* what are your thoughts on this?
http://i.imgur.com/rVnFwJM.jpg

Just checked mine and it's the same, greyed out, I searched that line yesterday and everything I found seemed to be saying it was a lock to the bootloader due to updated firmware, so we'll need to see if OPs SECUREBOOT line is greyed out too, or bright like the rest
Although there are different coloured lines for ODIN MODE (red), SECURE DOWNLOAD (Blue) and UDC START (red), so it could just be a poor choice of colours

I couldn't take a better photo:
ODIN MODE (red)
PRODUCT NAME: SM-G900T1 (white)
CURRENT BYNARY: Samsung Official (white)
SYSTEM STATUS: Official (white)
KNOX WARRANTY VOID: 0x1 (2) (white)
QUALCOMM SECUREBOOT: ENABLE (CSB) (grey)
RP SWREV: S1, T1, R1, A1, P1 (grey)
SECURE DOWNLOAD: ENABLE (blue)
UDC START (red)

Photo is good enough to see the colours of the lines
Right, so it's not that then, seems others have that confused with a locked bootloader then, I got the info from reading threads here on XDA
Back to the drawing board
Are you T-Mobile?

Nope, it supposed to be MetroPCS but the terminal is exacly the same as the T-Mobile (900T).

Huge thanks for the re-upload ill flash it right away!
But whats the .pit used for i know its the partitiontable for the device, but why would i need it?

Its for flashing with Heimdall when you're accidently flashed some wrong firmware and because of this the partition table is lost and can't get downloaded from the device. i marked it with optional cause its kinda confusing
