Run Odin when that's done; also power off your smartphone and then put it into download mode: press and hold the Volume Down, Home and Power buttons at the same time, for a few moments.
Connect your phone with your PC with the help of the USB cord.
Odin must recognize your Galaxy A9 Pro – if it does, the ID:COM field will be turned yellow or blue and the "added" message will be displayed; otherwise, you must reinstall the USB drivers before retrying the steps from above.
From Odin select the "PA" option and pick the Marshmallow firmware file.
Don't select the Re Partition and Auto Reboot options.
