Unable to restore stock rom using Odin

[dpedu]

Hi all!

I've been trying to restore my Version S4 to the stock "ME7" system using Odin. I was running a safestrap based ME7 rom until I decided to restore.

I'm confident I have the correct firmware file, and USB drivers.

When I attempt to flash, the Odin log says:

<OSM> Enter CS for MD5..
<OSM> Check MD5.. Do not unplug the cable..
<OSM> Please wait..
<OSM> COMBINATION_I545VRUAME7_I545VZWAME7_690088_REV06_user_low_ship_MULTI_CERT.tar.md5 is valid.

I researched that error, and it suggested using the pit file, so I tracked down this and put it in the Pit slot:

Not really sure what's going wrong. I've also tried firmware files from a few different sources, as well as different USB cables and computers to flash from. Any ideas? Thanks!
