Phone Wont Flash any md5 tar files.

[beavermjr]

Today I got a warranty replacement S5. I used Oden 3.09 to try and flash stock software builds and they all fail.

I tried:
ALL_VZW_G900VVRU1ANCG_G900VVZW1ANCG_964333_REV00_user_low_ship_MULTI_CERT.tar.md5
G900VVRU1ANE9_G900VVZW1ANE9_G900VVRU1ANE9_HOME.tar.md5

The phone reads: SW REV CHECK FAIL : [aboot]Fused > Binary 1
ODEN reads:
SingleDownload.
aboot.mbn
NAND Write Start!!
Fail! (Auth)
Complete(Write) operation Failed.

The phone has Android 5.0 on it
Baseband Version G900VVRU2BPB1

Is there any reason I can't Use oden to flash this phone?

You should have done a little reading around these forums first. It would have saved you a lot of time and trouble. You are on PB1 and the bootloader is locked down tight. You cannot downgrade from there to a previous version like the two you tried to flash. To get your phone back working you will have to flash the full PB1 stock software build.

After I flash the full stock PB1 build, Can I then downgrade in order to root the device? Oh and where do I find this build? search is not helping.

Thanks much for the link. I read through it and was able to get the phone rooted. I did run into 2 minor issues that I need to research in order to fix:

1. Swapping Kingroot for SuperSu does not work as SuperSU can't download and install the binary. I keep getting told to reboot and try again. I reinstalled Kingroot and it's working.

2. I'm getting the error about unauthorized activity. I know it has to do with KNOX and want to remove it, but can't manage to get safestrap to install. The installation app tells me that the installation completes successfully, but when I reopen the app, i am told that safestrap is not installed. Without it I can't install the 2 zip files in the instructions. For now I'm just ignoring the warning in notification screen and all is fine. I'm a little hesitant to monkey with KNOX for fear of voiding my warranty and not being able to take advantage of my extended protection plan.

Other than those 2 issues, everything is working great. Thanks again for the assistance.

I know issue #1 now that your king root is working try again with SuMe, it should work, don't download Su apk SuMe will do it.
issue #2 I am not sure about it, but here's something that may help you 7. Install This zip Knox_Removal_SU_BB_INIT.D.zip If you dont want a custom rom your done!

8. If you want to flash a custom rom make a backup In safestrap. Then in safestrap Click Wipe then Click Advanced Wipe Then Wipe System,Wipe Data,Wipe Cache Then Install any rom of your choosing as long as it is a Verizon S5 TocuchWiz Based Rom CM builds will not work! If you want you can try this it is stable. If for some reason you get an error flashing zips install this zip G900V_Fix Safestrap.zip in safestrap then you will be able to install roms. That zip wipes system and formats it so you will need to install a rom or backup before leaving safestrap
VZW_BPB1_ODEX_DEODEX_V8.zip This is a fully stock rom just like you had except it is Pre Rooted Knox free Deodexed with Tethering Fix, SDWrite Fix. Other than that all the bloat is still there but now your rooted you can remove it or flash different rom whatever

9. After flashing any rom I would head over to my Safestrap Thread and flash the latest version of Safestrap

For # 2 I read that security Log manager is the app that actually causes the messages to popup. I went into System APK manager and froze the app. Going back in, I notice that the Frozen screen is blank. I hope I didn't do something wrong.

Just install the rom with flashfire... the deodex one... and download the originaltar.img just in case something goes wrong or that you mess something up.
it's also located at the first link I posted
