So when i try to update my rooted and debranded sprint phone it says something like the software files have been modified. Use Kies or whatever
Is their anyway I can get the software files back to normal in able to update normally? Will flashing stock take care of this?

Tried that download 3 times. It says invalid hash or whatever when inputting into odin. I change remove the md5 at the end of file name and it turns to zip. It acts like it will flash but quickly restarts the phone. The whole process is like 2 seconds. Phone is still how it was before??????

Is there anyway to reset the flash counter through ODIN? I am having boot looping issues
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=48129093#post48129093
(really think it is the power button) and need to use ODIN somehow to reset the flash counter. I was able to flash the stock rom but pressing (repeatedly) the power button for 10 mins while it loaded on the stock software. Now I just need to reset the flash counter so I can send it back.
Thanks in advance.

have you checked out
[ROM/RESTORE][!MD4 OTA!](5-10)Quick Return to UNROOTED STOCK WITH FLASH COUNT RESET
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1904099
it flashes through recovery though.
I can't boot into recovery long enough....so need a tar file.
Thanks though!

Be sure to pick the storage capacity that is the same as yours. And do not use if you've updated officially to MK3

It's supposed to be a .exe file. Its an Odin one click.

It may be a self extracting archive. So extract it and once extracted open the resulting exe and just click start. It's a special version of Odin with the firmware file already loaded.
maybe your anti virus software is preventing it from doing its self-extracting?
edit: i'm downloading the EXE as well to see if it will extract here, if it does then i'll put the tar on my dropbox for you

I downloaded another stock file and it was able to unzip and do the 1 click through ODIN. The one with the counter reset file when I click on it states: Can not open file :"" as archive. Anyway to put it on your dropbox or sending another link?

Something's not being done right I know for a fact that those one clicks are good. I'd mirror an unzipped copy but I'm in a place where my internet is pitiful and these one-clicks are over 1.1gb when unzipped so it would take all day.
the servers they're on are slow too, tells me like an hour just to download the exe. eh ... I have a Comcast 55mb/11mb connection too.

Switch to a different mirror. Some are slower than others. I recommend the IL mirror(#5)
I am uploading the LJ7 on click return to stock exe (from the link billard412 provided) to my dropbox, I confirmed that double clicking the EXE loads an ODIN screen (when you then plug your phone into the usb port) and then click start - I'll edit this with the link when its done uploading.
you should be able to use an OTA to get to MD4
Here you go:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/u0oktktx7x6uhnh/STOCK_UNROOTED_LJ7_16.exe
you can then do the OTA or root it and use the zip file I posted a link to earlier to do a counter reset and md4 stock.
I hope this gets you to where you need to be.
Good luck
Mirror #5 was able to download correctly and I was able to load the tar onto the phone. No only did it NOT reset the counter it increased it to (2) instead of 1 and now a custom logo comes up?!!!!!
****EDIT*** AFTER I took the battery out and disconnected from the computer it worked!!! No on the counter and everything else is good!
I can not thank you guys enough and love this entire community! Off to hopefully get a new/exchanged phone!
Thanks again!:good::victory:
After running into some issues while upgrading to an official kitkat firmware I managed to boot up my phone but now it doesnt get recognized by kies even though its official. I also cant see which csc Im on since when I type in *#1234# it simply goes away from the screen as if its been wiped.
any clues? should i flash something else over?

Try flashing this in the attachments using odin the same wayy you did the stock firmware, just extract the rar file and use the .md5, and then do a full factory reset then it should recognize.
forget KIES ( completely useless) ! flash SamMobile's firmwares with ODIN !

I tried 5 times to download the firmware but odin fails because of the file is not complet. I have tried on laptop, my tab s and all the same. Do you know another site that I can download the firmware please I have looked everywhere but no luck

If it wasn't complete it wouldn't pass the md5 check in Odin.
I always use FDM (Free download manager) to download and have never had an issue.
You need to use Internet Explorer and click through the links as normal (no right clicking) for FDM to pick it up.

here is a screen shot of the error in odin
The firmware is fine it passes the md5 hash check.
The problem is either the wrong firmware or your bootloader is locked or doesn't allow downgrades.
As a hunch I'd say the wrong firmware for your device, try a t705 firmware instead if t705w.

thank you for your time ashyx I have tried everything like different firmwares, different odin, different computer but all the same results. I think the bootloader is locked. the only firmware I could flash using odin is the last lollipop and all kitkat failed. I think I might sell it and buy an international model instead.

All this files are in one zip. Unzip and put this in appropriate windows in ODIN.
Here are Odin 3.12.3
Good Luck.
Of course, this will wipe my device again, even though I do not select the CSC?
If you allow it to flash a new system and user data image then yes.
You basically need a wipe anyways going from MM to Nougat.
Sent from my Galaxy Note5 using XDA Labs
I'm already on Nougat N920AUCU4EQC5. I'm just trying to avoid having to wipe my phone
When i use this. It passes Odin then when the phone tries to reboot and install the update it says deleting then im back to 6.0.1. Any idea why?

I'm not sure about security . It was a stock at note 5 until I tried updated to qb2. All dev factors are turned on, and the rar files are all unzipped and loaded through odin in download mode. It passes then the android update screen (the little robot ) says erasing upon revoot and I boot into mm again

OK. Try this , After you unzip from one zip to 4 files , unzip all 4 files to tar.md5 and try ODIN again. Check for any encryption installed on your phone preventing bootloader from overwriting files.

You have to necessarily erase the security lock fingerprints, you also have to remove the password lock, you have not any type of security lock, then you have to enable developer options and type USB debugging(This last one I do not know if it is strictly necessary, but just in case)If you have some security lock on your phone, even if you pray, you will not be able to!

Just a thought, can you Odin flash any other version of the official AT&T firmware? Maybe try another version to see if the phone is truly screwed.
Also, have you tried a factory reset on the phone first. Maybe something (anything) loaded on the phone is preventing the Odin flash. I know this shouldn't matter but it's worth a try.

When you say failing, what do you mean? what is the error that you are getting on the phone?
i ask because i am having similar issues. am currently on lineage 7.1.1 and i found a single post out there that mentioned that when i flashed up to 7.1.1 that it triggered a fuse in the flash memory, that cannot be reversed. The error message i get seems to indicate that this is correct. fused2 > binary 1 - meaning that my handset is fused to 2 but the one i am flashing is only a 1.
i have a fully working phone on 7.1.1 but i want to revert to stock and am unable to do so
