Odin3 FAIL with unroot and flash stock firmware - Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers

Hi, I'm new here, but I'm experiencing some serious difficulties with my S7 SM-G930F (T-Mobile, The Netherlands). I managed to put on a custom rom and root (Resurrection Remix android 8.1.0), but with more difficulty than it was supposed to be. It took me hours and I'm happy my phone now finally works. However, I can't play PoGo andymore now and before the Resurrection ROM my first intention was to unroot and flash stock firmware. Warranty doesn't bother me that much. Yet Odin3 keeps giving me fails. I've tried 3 different ROM's so far and I think it has something to do with me wiping everything in the advanced section in TWRP (out of pure ignorance). This is the error I keep getting:

Can somebody please help me with this?

Try 3.12 of Odin instead of 3.13 as sometimes it gives different results. Are you also flashing all 4 firmware files, or just AP?

[Completed] Galaxy Note 5 (Sprint) N920P can not flash rom in TWRP

I have successfully installed TWRP without a hitch, and I can roll that back to stock recovery if I need to. Now, I have tried every available Sprint friendly rom I can find including stock ROMs. MOAR, etc. Every time I try to install a zip I encounter the same error:
Could not find 'META-INF/com/google/android/update-binary' in the zip file.
Error installing zip file '/sdcard/customROMfile.zip'
Not sure if this helps but the only zip file it ever successfully installed was Galaxy Note 5 OGD/OI6/OK3 Stock Deodexed Roms (https://forum.xda-developers.com/sp...galaxy-note-5-ogd-deodexed-stock-rom-t3191065) That installed correctly but when rebooting the phone is exactly the same - hangs on boot flash SAMSUNG logo screen as soon as you turn it on.
I did try to roll back to the stock firmware using Odin but when I try to choose the file within Odin to push to the phone Odin freezes. I have spent 3 days on this now and I really don't know what to do. I hope I didn't brick this $400 phone. Any help is surely appreciated as I have already had to buy a cheap replacement for the time being.
These are the errors I receive when trying to flash a .tar (stock recovery, custom rom,) within Odin (every version I have tried...... so many different versions its crazy)

Hi !
Try to use some different Odin versions and also be sure you flash the proper firmware file for your device

SoftBricked AT&T S7 PLEASE Help

So I have the AT&T variant of the Samsung Galaxy S7 (SM-G930A). I had installed root using a tutorial I found on these forums and everything went great for months. I started getting some errors after automatic updates ran (the Play Store kept crashing) so I tried to flash back to the stock firmware. Doing this, I ended up at the "An error has occurred while updating the device software. Use the Emergency recovery function in the Smart Switch PC software" page.
I've tried using Smart Switch, but the application tells me that my device is unsupported and entering my model and serial numbers into the software just causes it (the smart switch app) to crash.
On the Android Recovery screen, I can see that I have the G930AUCS2APH1 firmware running Android 6.0.1. I believe I have found the original stock firmware for this version here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/at...rmware-stock-sm-g930a-ph1-odin-files-t3458890
But whenever I try to flash anything other than CP to my phone in Odin, I end up with a FAIL! (Auth) error.

I've tried using different USB ports and cables, as well as a few different firmwares (admittedly, even some that are not the PH1 update) but all end up with the same result.
Can anyone help me out? I believe I'm doing everything right but I cannot get my phone up and running again for the life of me.
OKAY so I believe I fixed the problem before anyone could get to this so this is for anyone that stumbles across this thread. I was able to successfully flash the PK1 update to my phone. I found the firmware here: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/0B_lsL4sQwjajY2dxSkFjYmw4OGM
Just flashing the AP package seems to have worked fine.

Great!!!
Thank you for the Odin Files
You are such a life saver! with the most recent bootloader and a failed attempt at a root, i have been stuck with a soft bricked phone for ages. For the life of me I couldnt get G950U1UES5CRF5 firmware to flash. Every version of Odin I used failed. However this version worked perfectly and now im not using the terrible samsung galaxy express 3. Thank you so much man for your version of Odin!
Thank you for the Odin file.
I'm outside the US and cannot get newer OTA update. Is there any solution to get update files? I searched around this forum but all links of OTA update zip files are unavailable

Can this rom get twrp and be rooted?
Non-AT&T Simcard
Can this rom be used with a non-at&t sim? or do I have to unlock it again after flashing?
If your phone was legitimately unlocked by att it will stay unlocked under all circumstances. If you used a 3rd party, it could be trial and error. Best to contact them.
Also i uploaded a newer version in this thread.

[Help] Downgrading problem SM-G930T from Oreo 8.0 to Marshmallow 6.0.1

Hi, I got this phone from a friend and it had Nougat 7.0 firmware installed, I got OTA Oreo update notification so I tried it. Now my battery life has reduced to half and phone lags like hell. I want to downgrade it from Oreo to Marshmallow stock.
I have tried every possible solution on this site and on the web; downloaded compatible firmware, Samsung USB drivers, Odin and tried flashing multiple times, but always got this error. (USB debugging ON, OEM unlock ON. Auto reboot and F. reset time checked)

I then tried to revert it back to Nougat 7.0, but got same error. Please any help would be appreciated as I am sick of Oreo update.
Current Bootloader Version: G930TUVS8CRJ1
Latest Firmware: G930TUVSACSG1/G930TTMBACSG1
Oreo Build Number: R16NW.G930TUVS8CRJ1
You can't downgrade USA model S7's, they're bootloader locked which prevents this action.
Even the international version can only be partially downgraded with a full bootloader unlock, and it requires using TWRP and ROM zips.
My only suggestion for your issues is doing a full Odin flash of Oreo with all 4 firmware files selected (AP, BL, CSC, CP) as the OTA's upgrade process is known to cause issues that a full fresh flash doesn't experience.

Solved
As the problem was, while flashing with Odin it wasn't showing any error and was only giving out output as Fail, turns out it was a port problem, I changed my USB port and cable and it worked fine. My friend also gave me advice to try it on another laptop because this happens sometimes and sometimes it works.
So if your log is something similar to what I have posted try downloading the latest Odin and changing ports or PCs, if nothing then create an id here and start a thread somebody will help you out for sure.
Peace
