What is your region, if it's US, I can help you with Bootloader and CSC files, if only flash the AP file your tablet might not able to boot.
Normally , I will load these 3 files in Odin and it rarely fails to boot.

Try again with the BootLoader (BL ) and AP file, don't use the CSC as it for US region

I need stock firmware from ANYONE SM-t807A it does not exist on the web.

I have spent days looking, turn on goes to kies firmware screen yet when i put in the model and s/n it shuts and the new samsung app to replace kies is of no help. I can get to the download screen and odin shows it up but no ATT 10.5 Tab S Sm-T807A firmware ANYWHERE.
Please help this is a very very expensive paperweight and im not affiliated with ATT so them helping me is out of the question.

They dont have it for the SM-T807A

0 Results found
You searched for "sm-t807a"

It would better if you just explain what state the tablet is in and how it got to that state.
There is no official software for the t807a.

OK here how it goes,
The tablet was completely fine.
The original owner ( a family member) tried to root it and didnt accomplish it, somehow through his process it ended up softbricked.
I can enter he download mode for odin but no firmware for this LTE model.
When I turn it on it goes to the kies screen but kies doesnt recognize it, and when I enter the serial it buffers for 2 seconds then closes the process of kies.
Also it says device isnt supported and yes I have installed the right drivers and uninstalled kies numerous times.
The new replacement prog for Kies (forgot the name) is no help either.
Im terrified of what to do next as it does go to the odin screen just no firmware as I stated.

Any update, or could someone upload the stock firmware so i can use Odin on it.
Samsung told me ATT can flash it for free onto it so its deff a possibility however I do not have a ATT account so they cant help me.

It doesn't boot because the stock recovery has been wiped/replaced.
Thats assuming you have tried to boot recovery?
The att models are all bootloader locked.
I'm surprised a bootloader locked device even allowed an unsigned image to flash or did they use something like flashify?
The stock ota update was posted by someone here a while back. Your only chance is to pull the recovery from it and try and flash it in download mode. However odin may refuse to flash it.
If I can find it I can pull out the recovery.img and post a modified cf_autoroot which will try and flash the original recovery, that's if odin will even accept the image.

I was used with something like kingroot.

this i would highly appreciate as the firmwares not deleted just corrupted.

i have searched the whole web.
here is the link to the pulled stock sm-t807a files from a xda member

PowerfulJY, any successfull update with your SM-T807A journey?
I have the same problem as you, and Odin refuses to flash your firmware files

The images won't flash as they are raw unsigned images.
The update should contain a signed recovery image, but may still not flash with odin as the tar package you make will not be signed either and odin may refuse to flash
There may be a way though, another member managed to brick their device by flashing twrp using Heimdall, but couldn't then flash back the stock recovery with Heimdall.
If somehow the stock recovery can be forced to flash with Heimdall then there's a chance of unbricking the device.

I worked just flashed the FW part through AP did it on a friends pc all is back to new.
if you need a link for the ripped files just pm me.

also odin was used.

Unfortunately, Heimdall shows the same behaviour as Odin has.
AFAIK they are using the same protocol and seems that recovery CRC/sign check done via device internally, not via flashing tool.

Did you use command line or gui?

I used GUI, i didnt do the bootloader or choose any special clickies, I simply tried another pc with the same FW and it flashed in a hearbeast with PASS.
USB hubs are the devil, TRY EVERY USB PORT YOU HAVE
Kies sucks so does the new one.
any issues PM me and ill set you straightm any public questions ask away.
You have to download the IMG files and use the IMG to TAR app, I will provide a ZIP with all tars included but I assure you dont start ****ing around with bootloader images stick to AP.
AT&T is he devil.
The new Rockstar Whipped Strawberry OWNS, Oraneg Creme is Meh.

The gui question was for synphonica about Heimdall.
Are you saying you flashed the images with odin? Which version and which images?
This has been tried before and failed.
Also what do you mean you tried a pc with the same firmware, same firmware as what?

I'm new to rooting so be gentle, I just bought a Galaxy Tab S 10.5 sm-t807a (AT&T) with Android 5.0.2 Lollipop. I want to backup the stock ROM (firmware) so I can go back just in case I bricked it when rooting or installing custom ROM. I searched the web but there are no clear instruction on how to do it for an unrooted sm-t807a. Can someone provide me with a step-by-step instruction? I can share my backup of the stock ROM afterward since there does not seem to be one on the web. Thank you in advance for your help.

You can only root with Kingroot, don't try any other method or you'll brick it nor can you install a custom kernel or recovery.
Once you have root you can pull the partition images with EFS PRO or PARTITION BACKUP.
The best way to have a back up is to catch the stock Firmware update.
This is tricky so research how to do it.
There is one backup I know of:

Pit file for SM-T525 needed. Fail (size) in Odin. Need to repartition.

SOLVED
Hi!
I'm new here. I managed to flash a twrp recovery that didn't play well with my tablet. I tried to flash the stock ROM with Odin, but the operation failed do to fail (size), which I have read is due to need to repartition. DO any of you know how to get hold of the PIT-file for SM-T525? It is not easy to find on the internet.
Any help would be deeply appreciated!

Found pit file! Now its just not booting properly.
Hi again. Found a working pit file after much ado. Managed to flash the stock rom with the partition table with a couple of % left on the battery. It is still not booting properly, but at least firmware and recovery is back in working order and the boot loop is gone.

If you download a multiple Firmware from Sammy, the PIT file is included in the CSC image.
So you can extracted from there.

Can you please explain this a bit more in detail? Want to flash Stock-FW via ODIN, but get fail because of size of hidden.img.ext4.
From what I read until now - guess I need to flash it with a PIT. But where to get the PID file ?
What do you mean with multiparty FW. I just know source sammobile, where I can download different versions ....

Where did you get it from? I need this too.

@starbright_
Here are the link for the Download tool. Fast download from Sammy Servers.
If you check binary nature, you will download a multiple FW with Modem, CSC , Phone and Bootloader file.
Now unzip the CSC .image and you have got the PIT file for this Rom and your Tab.
@starbright_
I forget to add the link : https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-tab-s/general/tool-samfirm-samsung-firmware-t2988647

Had this tool already, but the hint "binary" was important.
Nevertheless - it still doesn't work. It tried this Odin methods (see below), both fail. No idea what is the problem !?!?
After booting into download I get this message at screen: Is this normal?
Current binary Custom

Knox: 0

I'd try the second method (4 files) again, but:
- No pit is necessary (it's in the CSC and Odin will apply it automatically).
- Uncheck "repartition" and "f. reset time" before flashing.

I think you was trying to apply a wrong pit.
That "50M_HIDDEN" in the filename stands for something, I guess

Mh, but this is the Pit I could grab out of the binary download. So it has been a part of the image.

Out of that very "binary download" you was trying to flash?
Strange...
It looks like you was trying to flash "EUR" image and the separate pit-file was from "DBT" (German) image.
Isn't that right?

if you want a clean install first install Nougat BL AP CP CSC of your device. After first boot on the settings screen, shutdown the device and go into bootloader mode, select AP from OREO, no other one, only AP. Press start and you A320FL will be upgrade to OREO. I installed Russia Oreo on A320Y

First flash clean nougat and use nougat fles only. When it boot first time where you start putting settings language etc. Shut down and flash only oreo AP file-> done
Its reset your phone...

CSC Oreo will get error of pit file wrong. BL Oreo will get error of Bootloader wrong. CP Oreo will get error of modem wrong. AP Oreo only contain upgrade files, this file is the correct to upgrade. Now, if you want a clean install, first flash Nougat and then flash only AP file from Russia Oreo, other ones files (BL, CP, CSC) are get error because not corresponding to device

Flashing an official stock ROM (with Odin) should never trip Knox. At least it never happened to me with other Samsung phones (Galaxy Ace, Galaxy S3 Mini, Galaxy Alpha). I haven't tried with this one, but I bet it will be safe.
