Stock ROM cannot be flashed at all

I have gone through several xda forums. But I think my problem ia different. Whenever I try to flash stock ROM through ODIN into my Samsung Galaxy S6 (SM-G920F) It checks everything as it would normally. When I press start, it goes very fast showing system.img recovery.img and blah blah all. But all of a sudden, it fails
While flashing, it doesn't even take enough time that is required to flash a normal Galaxy S6. All those texts are written in the ODIN window within 10 seconds.
I flashed Noble Nougat Experience 3.1 by @AlexisXDA
But OTG isn't working. So I wanted to revert. But now, I can't. Any help would be appreciated

What's the error in Odin when it fails?
This can determine where the fault lies, also try another usb cable as I've had flash fails due to usb cable.
In the mean time you could try one of the other stock custom roms, otg doesn't work in NNE because of the kernel.

Touch Input is totally messed up

Hey guys I have a g920f and was just messing around yesterday
I installed this rom https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s6/development/rom-revolution-note7-port-t3461397 with TWRP and now my touch input is all messed up, even in TWRP. I cant swipe in twrp so I flashed some old version of philz where i managed to format everything, I even reflashed my pit and reflashed TWRP but the touch input is still totally messed up
I can't even swipe in TWRP so if I cant fix this my phone is going to be a brick. **** xD
Anyone encountered this before?

Also I cannot restore via Smart Switch or Kies because it says unsupported device. I guess its because i didn't play by samsung rules?

Is there anyone that can help? I feel horrible at the moment
