Hey guys, thanks for viewing.
Have a friend's N920T that is soft-bricked. The only information I have is that he tried to flash Note 7 ported rom. My guess is that he did not OEM Unlock the device before hand.
--DOWNLOAD mode reads--
Product Name: SW-N920T
Current Binary: Custom
System Status: Custom
FRP Lock: Off
Secure Download: Enabled
Knox Warrant void: 1 (0x8301)
AP SWREV B:4 K:1 S:2
and after Odin flash it follows with
"SW REV. CHECK FAIL. DEVICE 4, BINARY 2"
My guess is the AP SWREV related to this error message
I have tried flashing multiple odin firmware packages to no avail. (last package I flashed said it was DPG1 although I just realized it was DPD1
Any help/guidance would be much appreciated!
If he or she was on the latest firmware DPH2 then you can't downgrade to DPG1, I have already tried it. You can try flashing the DPH2 firmware found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=68609915&postcount=5 see if that will work.
That was my dilemma, I wasn't sure what the latest firmware was.
Will try this firmware asap and post back. Thanks!

So I'm trying to unroot my S8. It's a verizon variant, G950U. I have partcyborg ROM installed, along with safestrap and TWRP.
I am using stock Odin 3.12 and it keeps giving me this message no matter what I do. (<OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 1))
I have tried using the latest USC firmware found on updato and no dice.
I have tried using the latest VZW firmware found on updato and no dice.
I cannot use chainfire because I have lost root and cannot get it back (SU binaries occupied)
I have tried extracting the PIT file and flashing that, no dice.
I'm really at a loss. I thought it would be easy peezy, just put it in download mode, flash BL, AP, CP and be done with it, but I'm not having any luck.
Any ideas on how to get me back to stock?
Did you try a modified odin? I've never rooted, but it seems like I've read that somewhere.

I tried Cosmy Odin but no dice either.
Here is what DL mode says when I put it into DL mode.
CARRIER: VZW
RPMB fuse blown
RPMB PROVISIONED
CURRENT BINARY: Samsung Official
SYSTEM STATUS: Custom
FRP LOCK: ON
QUALCOMM SECUREBOOT: ENABLE
RP SWREV: B2(1,1,1,1,1) K1 S2
SECURE DOWNLOAD: ENABLE
EDIT: This problem has been resolved thanks to good advice in this thread!
I'm not sure what I've managed to do, but here are the symptoms:
I installed a custom rom and it was working, had TWRP and magisk installed, but couldn't get the s7 exynos to recognize that magisk was installed. I attempted to restore to a stock rom. At this point, it will not boot past the samsung logo. It will also not boot into recovery. I can boot into download mode. The DL mode screen reports the error SW rev check fail (bootloader) device: 5 binary: 2
No matter stock ROM what I attempt to flash via Odin, just after the process log gets to sboot.bin, the next line is FAIL! then Complete (Write) operation failed. I am attempting to flash the latest version of 8.0 from sammobile for s7 exynos (I selected BTU).

Device 5 means boot loader version 5, binary 2 means bootloder your trying to flash is older, you cannot flash an older boot loader than version 5. This means the firmware you are trying to flash is not the latest.
Sammobile has BTU version 5, search for it and download it, follow the guide how to flash.

Thank you, this is invaluable advice and just what I was hoping for.
When the phone arrived I could briefly see that it was a Saudi Arabia firmware. Looking at saudi STC SFU the date is 7/1/19, that might explain this. I flashed Alexndr 8.0 over that. It was during the time I tried to get magisk to stick that I bricked the phone.
I did download and attempt (with fail) to flash G930FXXS4ESC1_G930FOXA4ERKF_BTU dated 5/12/19 on the sammobile page. So I may try United Kingdom dated 7/11/19 and see if that will flash. I can't tell which version of BTU might have a boot loader version 5 among those listed. Does this seem a reasonable attempt to you?
EDIT: I did download and flash, and it's starting to boot....huzzah! I'm now filling out the startup information. Thank you!!

Great.
The boot loader version is shown in the firmware, G930FXXS4ESC1 is boot loader version 4, S4= V4.
S5 = V5 etc.
For info, version 5 (S5) was the final BTU firmware release for the S7 so no more firmware updates after that.

make sure you just choose the CSC, PA and cache to flash thru odin dont try to flash the BL that is what will cause the revision check error, you can downgrade everything boot the BL which is the boot loader, kernel etc,
I bought s8 plus (G955f) couple days ago and i wanted to change rom and flash twrp but i cant, while trying flash twrp on odin its failing, i have android 9 and oem unlock option, i tried to flash older rom (i dont have a screenshot) thats official but it show this error sw rev check fail bootloader binary 4 device 11 and stuck on bootloader.img.

A couple of things i can see but will need more information
The SW Rev check error is your trying to flash older firmware than what is on your phone. Use latest firmware.
If you have OEM unlocked but KG/RMM state in prenorrnal state then you can't flash.
From your screen shot of odin, you phone is not connected. Near the top left there a box with ID:Com should show up as being connected.
Also use the latest twrp from twrp website.

Due to bootloader version numbers you can not downgrade your device only upgrade. Bootloader is the 5th number/letter from the right of the firmware name you are downloading.
KG/RMM state can be checked in download mode.
prenorrnal - can't flash ( you can only flash stock samsung firmware )
checking/not there - you can flash
Edit:
If RMM is prenormal you can't flash. you can try the date method to see if help this changes the state.
There are many guides on this method some are slightly different
eg:

or wait the so called waiting 7 days ( 168 hrs ) seems to fix this as well ( with internet connection ).

Where are you downloading your firmware? And what is the exact firmware you're flashing?
