Help SM-G870a - Soft Bricked, Download & Recovery Still Work, Can't Flash

[jdean93]

My phone was rooted on lollipop. Removed the root and did a format. (Was about to sell). While trying to flash my stock firmware, It gave me an Auth error in Odin. Stuck at the Galaxy screen, showing the logo and unlocked symbol. Odin won't let me flash anything except for the stock kernels. (Don't know if this helps or not)

I've download several firmwares from different sources but still get the same Auth error on each one. Copying files to the sd card always result in "error in sideload package.zip".

Just looking to get the phone back working, I'm not picky on which version of firmware it has. The phone is a SM-G870a.

Sorry for the delayed response.. I'd given up hope. I followed the guide posted above and i get write nand errors in odin. I watched your video and followed everything you did, however it sticks at the at&t screen now, instead of going straight into recovery mode. I've tried formatting from recovery and wiping cache, but can't get past the at&t screen.
