Got a Galaxy S5 - G900A USA ATT as provider. A root attempt had failed and it's now in softbrick. This is frustrating because none of the tutorials for Odin seems to be working. I'm not sure which version of Android was on previously, this is my nephew's phone. I can probably assume it was lollipop. Now the tutorials are about 1-2 years old, I'm not sure if things have changed and they no longer apply anymore... I'm hoping someone can direct me to a "recent" procedure on how to fix a softbrick S5 G900A. Well, the tutorials that keep appearing on google suggested the following files:
BL_G900AUCU1ANCE_964333_REV00_user_low_ship_MULTI_CERT.tar
AP_G900AUCU1ANCE_964333_REV00_user_low_ship_MULTI_CERT.tar
CP_G900AUCU1ANCE_964333_REV00_user_low_ship_MULTI_CERT.tar
CSC_ATT_G900AATT1ANCE_964333_REV00_user_low_ship_MULTI_CERT.tar
Tried different combinations. Tutorials suggested using AP alone, or, AP with CP and CSC, or as a last resort, use the PIT file and AP. (the pit file was downloaded separately and is the appropriate version for my model).
Every single time, I get a fail. The phone does connect as it appears in the COM port. It shows as added. Tried first with the driver included in Kies, later uninstalled it and just used the samsung driver without Kies. Tried different ports and cables, same end result.. FAILED.
I was on Windows 8 before, upgraded to 10 recently, still no change... I'm wondering, is the OS affecting anything? I was considering installing Win7 on a separate drive, or even XP on another box I have laying around. I will have to reach those later. I can't seem to get past the FAIL on this. Battery is 100% charged (another phone charged the battery for me).
What do you make of this? I pretty much threw the kitchen sink at this thing. All other cases are reporting success except for me :/ Stores couldn't even get it working. It's not hard bricked because I can get into kies mode and download mode... just that it won't flash.
Perhaps I can't use those stock roms on this phone? (I think they're kitkat). Does that mean there's a lollipop stock rom that might fix this?
PS - I've gone through all the threads on here, but since there's no relief, I decided to join the forum today (long time lurker) and post about this. The fail message is pretty general too:
<ID:0/004> NAND Write Start!!
<ID:0/004> boot.img
<ID:0/004> recovery.img
<ID:0/004> system.img
<ID:0/004> Complete(Write) operation failed.
<OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 1)
(it's not exact, but this is how I recall it). the phone is back with my nephew and his dad, so I'm going back and forth with them via email. I thought maybe I could get it going for him, but had the same issue as the shops they went to. Thanks, I know this is "repetitive" but I think this case is more "recent" so maybe the solutions offered are either not up to date or not applicable for this phone. I dunno -_- waaaaaaaa
