What is your device?
AFAIK you have to have an unlocked bootloader in order to downgrade firmware in Odin. The "auth" failure can be for any number of reasons. Can you post a shot of your phone screen while in download mode?

OEM Unlocking =/= unlocked bootloader.
Try a different USB cable, that can sometimes cause problems.

I found a solution!
You need a 4 file firmware, Once you add all of them uncheck BL, This keeps the Marshmallow bootloader but turns everything else to Lollipop!

Nevermind, After the firmware flashed it shows a glitchy green static and some red lines.
Thankfully it's not hard bricked, As I can still access download mode, But it plays the startup sound then shuts off, This is the same thing that happened when I flashed my Lollipop TWRP backup.
I guess it is truly impossible to downgrade.

Yep @V0latyle turns out it is impossible to downgrade.
I tried everything possible, The device just breaks, This seems to only happen to the J500H. What a bummer.

Thanx man, I will try it and report ...
Update:
I finally got everything working on my Samsung Galaxy J500F (2015). I documented this under this page and yes, MANY thanx to you guys, this site above provided the correct latest stock ROM to fix my Bluethooth problems.

I found out why it won't flash, Samsung locked the BL so you can't flash the BL from a lollipop rom, but you can flash Recovery and System with Z3X Samsung tools, without a 4 file rom, Yes I pirated a copy of it.

Hi brother, I downgraded the j500h phone to Android 5 with this file, but before that you have to go to the build number and click several times to open the developer section, then open the oem lock and turn on USB debugging. With this file, you can easily Android 5.0.

Not work. I enter SM-910F / 910F but nothing found.
this is nothing but a new headache introduced by samsung, even if you have the same soc you cant flash rom from different regions. One solution to this is to use the pit file along with the regional rom which we are about to flash. Unfortunately we dont have any dedicated thread for pit file collection.

The standard Odin options and then choose the pit and check re-partition and and erase nand I think it is called. Dont have Odin befor me now but it should be named something like that. But be aware that flashing with a pit can be dangerous! Your phone can be seriously bricked so be careful!

I remember i got a similar issue with my SP GS5 with KK FWs, it was partition size not matching in my case, i didn't manage to find the the proper FW, but i found a workaround by removing the not matching partition file from the FW (it was the preload/HIDDEN image), repacked the FW and flashed it through Odin.

Are you sure you are running stock Lollipop?
And are you sure it is a G900F?
Check in download mode what it says the model is

Yep, can't remember if Lollipop locks the bootloader on the G900P or not, but you should be able to 'upgrade' at least if it does
You must ALWAYS believe your phone's download screen model name

Try the latest for the G900P with ODIN, see how you get on
Looks like whoever you bought it from, has either modded the build.prop to display G900F info, or manage to flash enough of a G900F ROM to show that info
I can flash a G900T ROM without the bootloader and modem, and it shows G900T on my phone, but the phone is G900F
Either way, if download mode says G900P, that's your model

If you flashed a stock Samsung ROM, whatever was done to your phone prior to flashing this ROM is the problem - if it says G900P in download mode, and G900F in About and on the sticker, someone had changed something in order to make it look like a G900F (Likely because they are more popular)
Google how to disable hands free activation, there are youtube videos and forum posts about it

Maybe it's not available for that ROM, the G900T firmware doesn't have Mobile Data toggle, but the G900F firmware does (Same phone)

s4 i9507 help

Ok I don't even know where to start. The s4 i9507 model is a specific model of the s4 released in Australia on optus network. From what I understand, it is the exact same phone as the s4 i9505. What I am trying to do is flash an unbranded ROM (xsa) for the i9505 onto the i9507. I downloaded the firmware from sammsmobile, but while trying to flash the phone it keeps coming up <ID:0/003> NAND Write Start!!
<ID:0/003> FAIL! (Auth).
I don't understand why this may be happening. I have rooted the phone, I have read other forums that suggest to wipe the phone altogether?
P.S please only helpful suggestions, I don't need anyone telling me it's not a good idea to flash a ROM that's meant for another version because the i9505 and i9507 are the exact same phone/specs.
Anyone?
Flash i9507 stock firmware.

So is the GT-I9515, yet ROMs from GT-I9505 don't work on it.
Anyway, your problem may be a result of a faulty USB connection or cable. In other words, father USB wants to try another woman's hole

There is no unbranded stock rom for the i9507. It was released specifically for optus australia and asia. So the only stock rom i can get still has the telco's logos on boot up and shut down, I did see if i could find the file to delete them but couldn't see it anywhere

The only helpful solution here is to flash a custom ROM. Attempting to install I9505 firmware on the I9507 will always fail as Odin compares the firmware to the device. Odin will refuse to install the firmware if there is a mismatch.

Funny you say that because odin recognizes the device as an i9505 not what it actually is (i9507)

And yet, Odin rejects it, meaning a mismatch. Ergo, Odin is doing its job and rejecting the ROM you're attempting to install. Therefore the only viable solution is to install a custom ROM.
Could u recomend one thats not full of bloatware? I tried cyanogenmod 13 and it was terrible

Well, I'd consider the entirety of Cyanogenmod to be bloatware since very little testing is done to the source code. However, if you believe Cyanogenmod to be bloatware, then you clearly want to install an AOSP ROM, as that's about as bloatware free as it gets.
If you want unbranded gt-i9507 the only available is the hk version. You can find the firmware here:

My S7 Edge was FRP Locked because of FORTNITE!!!

Hello guys I really need your help!
I had a Nougat stock rom on my S7 Edge and when Fortnite was released I installed it but it was so laggy and asked me to update to the new version of android. So I found a custom rom that was perfect was called "Black Pearl" S9 ported to S7
then I opened fortnite but it seemed like the rom was rooted or something fortnite asked me to turn of OEM lock so I did so and since then I got the message " Custom binary blocked by FRP lock.
so now I can't figure what to do, I am installing a stock rom with odin but it keeps saying FAIL! FAIL! everytime maybe it's because of turning off OEM or something.. I don't really know what to do now! HELP!
Help me please!
FRP lock does not block official firmware flashing through odin.
It just prevents custom firmware from being installed.
You have to flash official firmware its the only option, choose the correct region when you are downloading the firmware.
If you don't know what region your original phone firmware was then use samsung smart switch to emergency reset the phone.

You can't downgrade unfortunately due to the bootloader revision.
