If it fails again, check the phone and see if it shows a error on the download mode screen.
Did it fail at the same point in Odin?
The fact that it did a auto reboot after fail is odd but it does progress further in the boot animation.
Scratching my head on this one.
Doubt it would work but could try another factory reset in recovery.
Still searching for possible solution.
Figured the firmware from the last link may not have been a exact match. With the Authorization fault in Odin and the Secure Check Fail on the download screen proves it.
Search today during lunch didn't turn up anything new that hasn't already been mentioned.
Currently searching alternative- root,recovery and custom ROM.
Found a unofficial version of TWRP for the 530H.
Links at several sites were to same download. I usually don't like to try anything that I can't find at XDA but here it is

Up to you if you want to try it. If you can successfully install a working version of TWRP, then you can pick a custom ROM to try from here

If you try installing TWRP with Odin, uncheck Auto Reboot and if flash is successful, disconnect phone and remove/replace battery, then enter recovery with the button combination.
Hopefully it will be TWRP and not stock

Should be just the ROM and Gaaps.Do I need to install all the zip files from the CUSTOM ROM that I picked?
Should be just the ROM and Gaaps.
That's one of the things that worry me. Yor device is XTC. Most of the custom Roms were built and tested for XCU and XXU. I would read over the thread and use the search in the thread to see if anyone has successfully flashed on a XTC. Better to research before flash for compatibility.Which will I use the XCU or XXU? Do I need to install the kernel zip files?
Only

I think we have tried everything software that we can except a pit file. May be time to close the coffin.
Sorry couldn't help you bring it back to life.
Unfortunately, it seems there was some hardware damage incurred in the fall.
Yes I think that is the cause of the failure. RIP my device. Can you tell me how to change my avatar's name? tnx
