This is not my work, just sharing what I found that someone else shared!
I was having NO luck flashing the G95U1 Oreo firmware onto my G950U. NO version of Odin was working. The new 3.13.1, Prince's, NOTHING. I kept getting a SHA256 error instantly when clicking Start. Then I found this patched version of Odin 3.13.1 that was claimed to be for the Note 8 and IT WORKED!
Uploaded to my GDrive and sharing it here in case it helps anyone else...

Thanks for sharing my friend

Glad this worked for you!

Is there anyway you could update this link? I've been running into this very issue with trying to fix my soft bricked phone and I'd love to try this! Much appreciated if you can.

If so, would you mind sharing the procedure? I've tried flashing the 4.4.4 firmware in 3 different computers, with Odin 3.4, 3.7 and 3.9, using several cables and several USB ports, but it always results in a <ID:0/003> FAIL! (Auth) or stuck on aboot. I've done factory reset, wiped cache, turned on debugging. Lollipop sucks the battery harder than a truck stop hooker, and would love to go back to KitKat. Thanks for any help thrown my way.
Not everybody at once, people! That's what I get for buying a phone only 3 other people own. It's OK, I still love you, Edge.
I was able to downgrade as were a few others with Edges. A little searching and you'll find all the answers you're looking for.

Is your Edge from Verizon? I found information for other carriers (which I assumed would be the same procedure, obviously with the right firmware), but since my downgrade failed miserably, I want to know if anyone else with a Verizon Note Edge has been able to downgrade.

Check your PM's
Please share this info
Please share on how to roll back to kit kat on the Verizon note edge. I upgraded to lollypop and do not like the battery life and a few other things that have come about because of this upgrade. I have tried using Odin to revert back to 4.4.4 but keep getting a failed message. I would be forever great full if you could please send me or post this information.
Thanks in advance for the help!
If I am ever able, I will. Still stuck with 5.0.1.
Hi gang. FYI... In trying to help MEXICO downgrade his Edge, I sent him a PM with information I thought could be useful for downgrading his Verizon version. Apparently this was something he had already seen and was of no help to him. I have been searching for the tar files for Verizon edge kitkat to no avail. I will continue to research, but at this point I cannot offer any help as I am on AT&T. If I come across something that may be useful, I'll let you know. I encourage you all to also keep searching and share any information you might find. I'm sorry that I'm pretty much useless at this point.
Bootloader TAR File
I have managed to find a sample of the TAR file for the 915F version of the Galaxy Note Edge. I have also been able to find this thread that details what info needs to be made into the TAR file from the downloaded 4.4.4 Verizon Firmware file but I have been unable to create the TAR bootloader file correctly. I keep getting individual files in a TAR and not an MD5 in a TAR. It is a start and hopefully someone with greater knowledge of creating said TAR file can take this info and run with it.
Sample TAR file Thread:

Here is the place to download the stock firmware:

Hope this is the beginning of something that can work. Please let me know if I can be of further help.
Hello
I am trying to revert back to stock, specifically the i727UCLD2. There was a One Click available but all the links with it are dead. Can someone give me a drop box or google drive link so that I may download it?
I tried flashing I727RUXLF3 and it failed, and now my phone is stuck in Download mode until I get some rom compatible with Odin or a One Click Odin. Read: not zip files that I keep finding.
Thanks for any help!
Hi,
Pretty much tried everything (I think) to reconcile this.
Tried to install Kingroot.
Bricked G920F that was on 5.1.1
Can get to Download Mode. But ODIN keeps failing at the last 'Write' bit on the script.
No idea where i am going wrong. Have searched but most threads offer solutions I have already tried.,
All advice welcome.
Thanks!
Tony

I have had this before. It is usually the "hidden" image part of the flashing process. Extract the rom zip and rename the "hiden.img" to "hidden.img.tar. Then flash this using odin.
You can also uncheck auto reboot and re-partition. Try it then
Just plug the phone to PC in download mode and rescue it via Smart Switch. It'll download the right firmware for your device and flash it automatically.
Here's how you can do it;
I have been trying to find a solution for the last 2 days and I have had no luck. Sorry if this has been posted.
I flashed Marshmallow ROM a few weeks ago, but could not get the MMS working on it. So I decided to try a different ROM and hopefully that would fix it. I used the Insanity Rom. It didn't help, in fact, it made it worse because I couldn't get any data to work only wifi. So I figured I would go back to a lollipop ROM. This is where the problems began.
I flashed the ROM, it went into a boot loop. After reading more, from what I read is that once you have Marshmallow Sprint doesn't like to you to go back. I hope that makes sense. So I figured the best route would be to go back to stock and start over. And the problems continue.
I downloaded Odin, went to Sam Mobile and got the file to flash. Went into download mode, hooked it up to Odin, and it failed, tried again, failed. I get an error "Get Pit for Mapping". I have read that you need to be very careful with flashing Pit files so I have been trying for find information on how to do it. I did find a thread with the Pit file for the S5 g900p and another thread that said to use PIT Magic v1.3.10 - Samsung PIT Creator, Editor, Analyzer! But the thread was from 2012.
Long story - Short. How do I fix this Pit for Mapping error?
Thanks in advance for your help.
before you mess with the pit, try different md5's, different cables and different computers. Also what md5 file are you using? I 99.9% of the time recommend 5.0 OK4. If youre using PCA, it can be kinda picky
I was trying to go through the Carrier Switching Process using the instructions here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s8+/how-to/snap-guide-flashing-standard-fw-carrier-t3627255
When I realized I was already on Bootloader v4, I got a little cocky/ahead of myself and managed to find a combination file that was on v5: G955USQU5ARF1 . When I ran into a separate issue in that process (https://www.reddit.com/r/GalaxyS8/comments/9diruu/only_have_gcf_as_csc_code_available_to_carrier/), I tried to flash back to my previous US Unlocked firmware and everything has been failing. Is this because the firmware doesn't match the combination file?
Is there any way to get off this combo file/factory binary without the matching firmware? I've been scavenging the web for hours going to all kinds of seedy websites in hopes of finding it with no luck.
Any help would be greatly appreciated! I leave for a trip tomorrow (****ty timing....) so hoping to figure out something tonight. I am able to get into Factory Recovery mode and have tried factory resetting, but that didn't do any good.
Via Odin flash the latest stock and everything should be fine

it does not work. i am having the same issue. i get an SHA fail and then when i try to use a modified odin it gets hung up on xbl.elf.lz4. Does anyone have a stock firmware that will Flash over this bootloader 5 RF1 firmware? or can anyone tell me if i can modify newer firmware to flash over this? thanks.
The exact same problem here. Any luck finding a ROM it will accept?
The solution for me was to use the 3b patched Odin.
I too have this same situation. I tried all the new Odin's except prince, and it just hangs on setup connection. I'm at a loss
