I had to get a USB 2.0 hub for odin to work. My PC only had 3 & 3.1 ports

You can try odin (v3.13.1) flashing the BL and/or AP from T-Mobile's firmware https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=746163614322275144 (Don't mess with the CP or CSC). If you do that without the nand erase option checked, this should let you boot up and recover user data that's not backed up. worst...

Not sure, it's different for each carrier. I hope you have backups, at least an adb backup. Samsung cloud backup does a decent job too. If you have a recent backup, it might be easier to factory resset, and then restore. If you don't have any backup, you risk losing all your data. You can try...

Which files exactly where you flashing?

That FAIL: 4 > Binary 3 means you need a Firmware with bootloader V4. Once you're on v4, you can't go back to v3. G955USQU4CRE9 is an example of a firmware with BL v4.

FYI: I was coming from Stock 7.0 (rooted, BL v1) to this one (BL v3). After flashing, It would only boot to recovery in a broken loop (not able to factory reset), or DL mode. In order to fix this I had to use Odin 3.13.1 and install stock BL v3 firmware (G955USQU3CRD4), then install this rooted...

The last three pages, just Wow. I hope you all know that CF-Auto-Root doesn't work with a locked bootloader.

what error are you getting? can you sign in with that password on your computer (or anywhere else)? did you recently reset you password?

OK, np. It's for the Exynos version anyways

you need to convert the system.img.ext4 with*simg2img. I deleted those firmware files earlier. But I think it would just be a band-aid. I think there's something wrong with your system software, or it's not correct. It would probably be more stable and better in the long run if you took a TB...

didn't know it was dead. weird it might rename it to just /system/carrier/priv-app/VisualVoicemail/ when you flash CSC (or something)

I'm not on Sprint, but I see the samsung voicemail app in the firmware I just linked to, in /system/priv-app/SecVVM_dream/. do you have a voicemail icon in the bottom left of the stock dialer? I also see the Sprint visual voicemail app in /system/carrier/SPR/priv-app/VisualVoicemail/. So if you...

This question might be more appropriate for this forum section ;) ...but you probably don't have a sprint specific firmware installed
