S5 SM-G900A FAIL! (Auth) every attempt to flash stock rom

I'm going crazy

Are you trying to flash the latest released version by released date?
Most Samsung phones won't let you downgrade. You have to flash what is currently on the phone or newer version.

Thank you for your reply!!
I'm not so sure. Where can I find latest version?

Have a look here. AT&T is notorious for not releasing it's firmware.

And do I upload all parts of the file to Odin?

Never used these but if they are four part service files, you would need to put each part in it's slot in Odin.

Thank you so much!! The device is finally up and running!!
However, it randomly turns off... Any clue?

Shouldn't be turning itself off. Battery good and not low?

Yup, and it's brand new, one month old from Amazon.
Now it's not turning on. I didn't change a thing...

If you connect it to the wall charger, do you get any reaction from the phone?
Viberation, Charge animation or LED?

Right now,

none

Know anyone else with a S5 you can try their battery? Could be that the replacement battery you have is toast even though not that old. No reaction on connecting the charger is not good and usually points to hardware failure.
What was the original reason for reflashing the firmware?

Just tried another battery, didn't help...
I tried flashing when all of these problems surface before, I was hoping it will help.

If phone was turning itself off before reflashing and new battery didn't help, motherboard was probably on it's death bed. Sorry we couldn't get it straightened out. Early S series phones ,3,4&5 were my favorite. Removable battery, SD card slots and easy to take apart. Just hated how most carriers started locking them down.
