Can't get a rom to FLASH!! PLZ HELP - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Ok so I own a smn910t, I bought it unlocked so I could use it with my service provider (att) the phone was using kit Kat 4.4.4 and I wanted the update so I went onto tmobile s support page and downloaded 5.1.1 after the phone was locked to tmobile again, since then I tried to get an unlock code from tmobile they said I can't get one by I didn't have an accout with them and they said to call samsung, Samsung told me to call rentacenter, where I bought the phone, rentacenter told me to do a data reset and it would go back to the original os, well that didn't work so I flashed the twrp and I've wiped everything, so now I have a note 4 with no os or anything on it, just twrp and when I try to flash the stock rom it fails everything I've tried re-downloading the rom and using a different USB cable and different port, fails everytime, can anybody help me, I love this phone and right now it's useless, 900$ wasted

Can't receive SMS. Everything else works.

I've tried about everything that I know to do and have found suggested around the net. I'm sorry if it's a double post, but I didn't see the problem listed anywhere.
Galaxy Note 3 : Rooted, but worked fine until last week.
I can make calls, send and receive MMS, can send SMS, but not receive. I've been to the Samsung store at Best Buy, Sprint Store, and no one has any idea.
Here is what I have tried:
Factory wipe and reset.
Odin newest stock rom (is this what they consider firmware at the sprint store?)
Installed the SAC23 Rom
Installed other messaging apps
Update prl, profile and all of that
Switched the sim card between phones and it didn't work with a different sim card. Did not work when I went back to the original sim.
Sprint tech support says the network is fine and there are no problems with my account that would cause any issue. Our other phone works fine.
I am at a loss. I'm hoping someone here has an idea. I'm going to go to the sprint store in another town as the BB guys suggested. They're apparently also a repair center.
I don't know enough about how the phones operate to know if what I'm doing would actually change things. It seems that a wipe and different roms not making a difference would seem like a hardware problem to me? I can't imagine a hardware problem only being with receiving if everything else is working. I've only had the phone since November, so I'm hoping that they'll swap me for another phone or something. This is the first phone that I haven't bought the insurance for and of course it's screwed up.
Thanks for any help.;

OK, first back up all your data to the desktop of your PC ( music , pics, etc. ) pull battery, reinstall and boot into stock recovery. Now do a factory reset while in stock recovery use the power and volume buttons to navigate. Now pull battery, reinstall and boot into download mode. Use odin to flash whatever .tar you want. ( NC5, NH7, NK4 ) .
Let it go through the first time user boot up, skip through everything do not install any personal info. Once you are at the home page pull the battery, reinstall, boot into download mode what does it say ? It should say status SAMSUNG OFFICIAL on both lines. If one or both say "custom", pull battery and reinstall, boot into recovery do a factory reset and go through the process again.
So many people flash a custom rom have a problem and then odin flash back to stock only once. Which will leave the bootloader in custom status and you end up with a dirty flash. When I go back to stock, I always odin flash 2 or 3 times to make sure it catches all of it.
Here is my thread if you need more info http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-3-sprint/general/samsung-note-3-rom-flashin-basics-t2896440 Enjoy !!!
Awesome. I'll try when i get home. Hope it works!
I've been holding off on rooting this phone and used this as an excuse to put something new On for a rom.....well i want thinking and this thing is still on warranty, but I'm betting they'll reject it some knox has tripped.
Thanks

Need Help With Galaxy S7 in Bootloop (Please :( )

So I posted the following on a few other places
(please expand)
I am in desperate need of help . Yesterday, I woke up and went on my phone and it was acting strange. It was saying that apps that I wasn't using had stopped working or something like that, which was pretty weird, so I decided to restart it. However, when I tried to turn it on again, it got to the carrier screen (I have AT&T) it didn't do anything after. It just stayed on that screen and vibrated in a pattern. I was able to hold home + power + volume down to restart it, and I was able to get to the recovery options screen. I tried clearing the cache and all the data, but no luck. I tried flashing the stock firmware but I couldn't find anything new enough. I had rooted my phone about 5 days earlier, but it had worked perfectly fine up until yesterday. I tried everything I could think of and find online. I recently called AT&T up and they're sending me a new phone, but I have to send my phone to them, and I feel almost certain that they'll find that I've been messing with it. Whether it's the giant lock with the word "Custom" above it, or something in the files. I have 10 days to send it in to them and I need a way to either fix my phone, or wipe ALL of my phone's data before then, but I feel like completely wiping everything might void the warranty as well. I'm not even sure that the root caused the problem.
I do have friends who have the same phone as me, would it be possible to somehow get the most recent firmware off of one of their phones and get it on to mine? I have the G930A and I couldn't find firmware recent enough for my device. I have read A LOT about this issue in the past day and I vaguely remember something about being able to get someone at Best Buy or some other store to flash the most recent firmware onto the phone? Is something like that possible?
Please help, I can't afford the $600+ if it doesn't pass. Any and all ideas are welcomed. Thanks .
After reading some stuff here, I have found out that I can somehow make a backup of the stock firmware. I wouldn't actually be using my phone to make the backup since I don't actually have the stock firmware. I wouldn't be using my phone to make the backup, I have friends with the same phone and carrier. All I need is direction on how to do it. I have a Galaxy S7 (not the bomb edition) and my carrier is AT&T, although I'm not sure that's needed.
first do a factory reset then flash latest stock firmware from sammobile

sammobile.com doesn't have G930A which I need. I've been finding it from other places but none of them have worked so far.

Verizon Galaxy Note II Issues

i know this is an old phone but i really need to get it up and running ASAP.
it was working fine a few months ago. we stopped using it for a while and the battery died completely.
we couldn't remember the password after so long so we decided to just wipe the phone. i wanted to unlock it as well since it wouldn't be going back on the verizon network. i used a tutorial i found on here and the software/ROM linked in that thread. now the phone has a message that verizon detected unauthorized software error. i can only start the phone in download mode, my computer no longer recognizes it and odin doesn't pick it up. i've downloaded and installed the samsung drivers but none of them have worked.
can anyone help me just to get it back to the original official stock firmware?

s9+ Not updating

Hello, my s9+ hasn't updated in a long time. It's one the 1.0 One UI, Android Version 9 and the baseband is G965USQS7CSK4 and the security patch dates December 1, 2019. I originally bought the phone from Sprint, I had it unlocked and tried a few MVNOs before settling with AT&T prepaid. Since I've unlocked it from Sprint, it hasn't updated and I haven't noticed until recently. I've tried to flash it with Odin and such but it did not work, it would detect the device at first but once I had the phone in download mode, it would not recognize it and I couldn't continue the download. I've tried other cables, and it still wouldn't recognize it.
I tried the method where you do not have to factory reset your phone, I'm a little wary of trying that since I hate doing it but I will if I HAVE to, but I'm wondering if there's anything else I could try before going that route. I've tried putting in a Verizon sim card to see if that could somehow force it, but still no luck. Now it just says "update was interrupted try again in 24 hours".
I've also tried Smart Switch, it says my phone is up to date.. which of course it's not. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
EDIT: I fixed it by digging out an old laptop I had and used Odin on it instead, worked in 6 minutes. No clue why it wasn't recognizing my phone on my desktop.
Thanks for the update!
i need help please i bought a used galazy S9 plus i wanted to flash using Odin i checked the model number G965F and downloaded a rom for it, but when i boot into download mode i found out the model number shown there is G965N what should i do ???
