That doesn't work in Odin. It's a recovery zip repackaged as a TAR.

Hi there. Sorry that it did not end up working guys. Its not that I dont know what I am doing, its just that its been pretty hard figuring it out compared to what it used to be. Before, just a few weeks ago, on sprints website, there was a chart that told all of the build numbers and all of the patches that each build had inside of it. Now its gone. All that website is is 2 links to find a new software version or to see what version you are on. So that file posted in the OP here is all I have to base it off of. And when I threw it into odin it seemed to work fine, although I should Have tested it fullly beforehand. I was also in a rush (sort of) becuase my family is going on vacation to another part of the country as this week is April Vacation for the schools in my town. I hope you guys understand why it happened as it did, and for that, I apologise. this is the website im refering to http://support.sprint.com/support/ar...-dvc8080008prd and when I get back to my house I will retry with a linux usb as that seems to be what tutorials point to doing.

It would appear that you don't know what you're doing. The files within a TWRP/CWM flashable zip don't work the same way an Odin flashable TAR does.
You took all of the files from http://forum.xda-developers.com/sprint-galaxy-s5/general/sprint-gs5-android-6-0-t3336758 & changed it to TAR. You didn't even give @djxn40 credit for his hard work. Instead you decided to give people permission to your "work" which actually did do anything at all.

I do know what i am doing. I was just in a rush and didnt cover everything a normal dev would because i was in a rush. I also did not ask permission of any devs as if you look at the main post "rom developers can use this without permission." But @djxn40 didnt upload it, @highspeedfelon did if you look through the thread, @djxn40 just moved it to the op. And that recovery file is the only file i can base it off, because if you search through sammobile, and the sprint support page, youll see the latest version is still OK4, (on the sprint site it says in the top left it was updated on april 7th 2016 but there is no table showing the build numbers and bug fixes like there used to be.) It was an attempt, and I failed, so I will learn from my mistakes. That is all. The link has been removed from the op of this post. I will do something about it when i get back home later this week as im on vacation with my family (april vacation for the town i live in is this week).

If he doesn't know how to give credit you appear to not be able to read an entire thread before flaming his attempt. I don't see you trying to further development. Your attitude doesn't help anything. I appreciate anyone attempting to help keep the device moving forward. Did he rush? Sure. Does it deserve being flamed? Not really. Take a nap or a Prozac and come back with a better attitude. Jesus.

Why does it even matter who uploaded the update.zip its a free download? I don't care who uses that update.zip or what they use it for.

Mates, why are you arguing? I have Android 6.0.1 Official. So, it is proof this exists. But this, isnt it.

This should work (please let me know if it does not. Also should not trip knox but Im guessing most people who are viewing this already have anyway . Simply Download on your PC, put your device into download mode (power off phone and hold volume down, home button and power button and let go when you see the download mode icon) and place the file in the AP slot in Odin.
LINK HERE: file doesnt work in odin, explanation in reply below. will fix in a few days when i get back. I apologize.
Rom Devs feel free to use this for whatever without asking permission.
