Soft brick after official Nougat update - Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers

Hello, so I'm having a huge problem right now, that seemingly came out of nowhere.
My phone is stuck on "Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge" screen logo and can only enter download mode, nothing else.
All I did was download the firmware update that popped up OTA. Something must have failed and I was greeted with a permanent freeze on that part.
The update that I've downloaded was called - G935FXXU1DQB7/G935FSEB1DQB2/G935FXXU1DQB3 with the file size of 1224.14 MB
It has failed once before but it wasn't a brick. Said something about mounting data error in a recovery mode. A day later I've tried to re-download and install the update again and this is the place I'm in right now.
My phone is the European Exynos variant, not sim locked. I'm from Lithuania, but I somehow doubt my model had the Baltics firmware as I don't think the 7.0 is released there yet.
So far I've tried installing stock firmwares from UK, Poland, Baltics region. Both 6.0.1 and 7.0 yield the same results. Different Odin versions. I can confirm that the USB ports work and there is a connection, because flashing a single random .tar file passes and reboots the phone., but does nothing for me (like installing extracted hidden.img.tar). Ends up at the same splash screen.
Every attempt to flash anything has to be with the download mode rebooted or else it doesn't do anything. (Maybe this is normal)
All threads completed. (succeeded 0 / failed 0)
When I flash the AP, BL, CP, after a while (a minute or so) I get a fail without seemingly any progress.
Complete(Write) operation failed
Usually hangs on the recovery.img, depending on what I try to flash.
When I flash CSC, Pit file, or leave a ticked repartition box without including any of them, I instantly get
Re-Partition operation failed.
So naturally this always triggers if I flash all 4 of the items.
I have also tried Smart Switch. The only problem is I currently don't have my S/N number, because some internals and all of the outside of my phone was changed under the insurance, including the back where I believe the number is found, so I've tried S7 Edge S/N number of a friend of mine. I believe our phones are different, because his firmware is from Baltic region (SEB) which doesn't even have 7.0 out. I'll try getting my S/N number through the carrier I bought the phone in. Anyway, Smart Switch throws an error about "Failed to recognize software update mode" after downloading the (SEB region) firmware and stops there. I'm afraid even my own S/N number won't help.
This is what my download mode says

I feel like all of this mess is caused mostly by the Factory reset prevention lock?
I don't want to trip Knox and void the warranty by installing a custom recovery, which would maybe help me? Does anyone have any ideas? I'm at this for like 10 hours already and desperate. Hope I don't need to give it in. No ability to even turn off the phone, what BS is this...

greenman from sammobile forums suggests
that "This is looking like you have a damaged emmc. The re-partition should have been successful."
I think we're out of luck on this one. The only strange thing is that we've probably installed the same piece of software that killed it. What are the odds?

Cannot determine build number and original box long gone. I've downloaded a couple firmware zips from sammobile (Sprint CDMA) using files nearest to best guess for purchase date. Is it necessary to match the exact files which originally came installed or should later firmware releases also normally load? In other words, is the fail due to trying a wrong firmware revision?
Any other info I need to include here? Thanx in advance!

Hello again:
Zero replies, did I omit important information in my first request -- or am I just rehashing previous inquiries about boot loop problems? (I have read through all posts relating to boot loops but found no answers that solved the to write to Nand failures). Forgive me if it's here and I simply didn't recognize it. . .
So (succinctly) why might Odin fail to write when attempting to reload the original firmware: . . . NAND Write Start!! . . . FAIL! (Auth) . . .Complete(Write) operation failed. . . .All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 1)
What might I be doing wrong, or what might I try instead?
Thanks again

Same thing with me.. patience gets you through it..
The same thing happened to me, same phone and same contract carrier (Sprint).
I bought my phone from a third party who apparently restores it to near-mint condition. The OS it had was one of the first releases of 6.0 /marshmallow. I tried downgradingit back to 5 / lollipop because i heard that call recording was still enabled with that OS.
I used Odin versions 3.7 thru 3.10 i believe and flashed every version of 5 that was listed on sam mobile and samsung 's site and all of them either failed to initiate- citing the same readings and failure reasons in odin that you mentioned - or they "succeeded" and resulted in boot loops.
I also failed to flash any of the earlier ROM versions of android 6 than the one my SM-G900P phone came with.
Finally, i succeeded in flashing 2 types of ROMS, the version of 6 my phone started with, then subsequently the most recent version released earlier in march 2017 (this month).
Conclusion: i believe the order that you flash these roms for our model phone with our carrier matters. Flash your phone with ROM images from the version that it came with, and continue sequentially and chronologically until your boot screen finally shows something other than that lovely little sprint logo
Good luck with your son's phone, and please let us k ow how it goes..... as i think this may be a recurring theme we may see more often in the future. I imagine the problem lies with either odin, samsung sm-g900p, or the sprint/cdma ROMa we're dealt.

Have you tried samsung kies yet? Odin is for rooting your phone. Samsung kies will put updated firmware in your phone. I have used it several times in the past on a sam phone. It will work. Its from samsung company.

SM-T580 Soft Bricked - Odin Wont Flash Stock Firmware

I have the Galaxy Tab A 10.1 SM-t580. It was on 8.0 stock prior to this. I attempted to flash TWRP a couple of ways to no avail. I did a factory reset and attempted another method, but I believe I forgot to turn on OEM Unlock after the reset. Odin now will flash a TWRP successfully, but trying to boot into recovery either loops or presents me with glitchy horizontal lines. Trying to flash the 7.0 stock firmware (XAR) from Sammobile results in failure (maybe because it has an older bootloader?). I've tried just the AP, AP and BL, and AP, BL, and CSC. They all fail. There doesnt appear to be any working OS on the device at this point. The only thing I can access is download mode.
After trying the flash stock firmware I get this message in odin:

Took a lot of figuring out. But My bootloader would only accept the latest version of the stock firmware (Oreo) and I had to dig to find a working TWRP. If anyone has any questions I gothca.
I was having the same issue and bricked/unbricked my tablet a few times before figuring out it will only take the latest firmware. Which version of TWRP worked?
I'm trying to downgrade as the last update caused an "Authentication Error" every time I tried to connect to wifi.

Did you find a working TWRP for Oreo? Can you post the link or say the versiĆ³n of TWRP?
I used the twrp-3.2.3-0-gtaxlwifi.img.tar (lastest by now) but only had the red vertical lines in recovery mode

Same problem and I solved it flashing the content of this file CF-Auto-Root-gtaxlwifi-gtaxlwifixx-smt580.zip
Extrated from this documentation: w ww.techmoviles.com/rootear-galaxy-tab-a-sm-t580-sm-t585-con-cf-auto-root/ (fix the blank between the w)
This flash don't load a working TWRP in oreo, (because it is for nougat), but it fixes the recovery on oreo restoring the Android recovery.
I hope it helps you
OK. Got given a TAB 10.1 a few weeks back and decided to boot up Odin for the first time since my Note3. Hated the Samsung stock ROM so went through the same journey of trying to install TWRP over Android 8 only to find it soft bricks the tab. EVENTUALLY realised I could only recover with Android 8 which i have.
SO question is can I install TWRP over Android 8 or do i have to downgrade. If yes to a downgrade is it just a case of grabbing Android 7 off Sammobile?
Thanks in advance.

There was a newer one on the same day though - it's what I'm using and it works fine
Then again my tablet was on stock Nougat - so no idea if @xballumx can use it on Oreo ... but I don't see why not since it still works on an Oreo custom rom :fingers-crossed:
Hey bro
you are using the wrong flash file your phone Binary is 4
check that the flash file name contains U4

HELP - I just wanted to install a stock Samsung S7 OS downgrade...

Hey Everyone,
I've been reading up on the forums but I'm willing to admit I now need more direct help.
I have a Samsung Galaxy S7 andI wanted to downgrade the OS back to Nougat from Oreo so I could spoof on Pokemon go. I move all the files I'm interested in keeping to a new handset (so the handset being worked on is not my primary one, it's expendable, so I didn't bother backing up).
I started trying to learn to flash an older OS. I quickly came across TWRP and Odin. I tried several times to flash with Odin, but I gather that Odin doesn't allow downgrades, and I couldn't find an OS in the correct format anyway. I discovered that to downgrade you have to use TWRP. So I use odin to install TWRP and learn to use it (on a basic level)...
I found a stock OS post on this forum and downloaded it, and tried to flash it with TWRP as directed by the poster. Well that didn't work, it went through the flashing process, errored and then turned itself off, tried to turn itself back on and hangs at the samsung logo. It seems I managed to completely wipe the OS off my phone. Luckily it still talks to the computer so I stick TWRP back on it to try to flash an OS. I can't find a TWRP friendly file (has to be a zip file??). When I try with Odin to flash stock ROM from Sammobile it fails, here's the log contents:

I'm pretty sure this means I'm trying to use the wrong image, but I can't find one that works.
I've tried looking for images I can flash in TWRP, and I found something online called Lineage, download that, and HAHAHA it works!! phone is alive again, but I can't install any aps. They say they are installed but they aren't visible anywhere.
I've tried several different stock OSes with Odin, but I always get the same error.
I think hey, maybe I downloaded the wrong version of the OS from Sammobile, so I try to check my IMEI number in the "about phone" section but it's blank! I've somehow deleted the IMEI. I do still have the box though (thank god) so the IMEI number is 359468 07 8490758. According to google you can use the 7th and 8th digits of the number to get the country of origin to make sure you're using the right image, however, My IMEI number 7th and 8th digits are 07, but according to multiple sources, the 07 source doesn't exist!!!
So several possible questions that I just can't work out in this whole situation.
-What the hell is my country of origin, and how do I find the OS that should work for this phone (UK unlocked) considering I have no idea of my country of origin??
-Is this error actually caused by an OS mismatch?
-If it's not, what the hell do I do now? I am at a total loss.
-Is there a stock nougat version I can flash with TWRP? because I'm pretty sure I know how to do that, whereas I can barely get Odin to do anything for me.
Other random bits of info that may be relevant:
It's Exynos, I had to look that up in the initial research stages
I've checked and re-installed the samsung drivers about 3 times at this point
I tried something called x3z samsung tools to try to repair the IMEI, but it just says "card not found" and won't open. Guessing that's something to do with the fact that the IMEI number is blank?
UPDATE - I have fixed it
After trying about 15 other things with little success, I finally found The Galaxy Project Nougat ROM by djb77 https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s7/development/rom-galaxy-project-t3440314.
I was only able to use Odin to flash the same OS I had all along, it wouldn't allow any downgrades despite the whole phone being formatted.
Once I found the Galaxy Project, I finally managed to flash that ROM using TWRP, which was enough of a downgrade which allowed me to downgrade Google Play Services to the level I needed.

Majorly Messed Up Rooting, Can't Flash Stock Firmware

I'll try to give as many details as I can.
Recently I did a root, which worked perfectly fine. Didn't know what I was doing, so I looked around and downloaded Xposed and did all the steps to get it on my phone. After opening it, it asked to download additional firmware or updates or something. I agreed, and the system rebooted once it downloaded what it needed to. Then, when it rebooted, it told me that it was unable to authorize or verify, or something. Essentially it wouldn't let me back into my phone and I didn't know what to do. So I downloaded the most current firmware for my model from Updato, but it didn't seem to work. I tried doing just the AP, then doing the BL-AP-CP-CSC, tried both Home and non home versions as well. After that, if I'm not in download mode, it tries to update software, and then runs a quick string, and then repeats, which I assume is just a textbook case of boot looping.

Can't post links, but on Updato, under SM-G935U, the first one with 8.0.0 is the one I used.
I tried some suggestions I found looking around, like changing out the USB cable, but ultimately it didn't help and it was fine to use to flash the original root in the first place, and I have Samsung drivers installed.
I would really appreciate some insight. Appreciate it.
sounds like you took an OTA while rooted.
I think you're ODIN flash might be failing because you're OTA might've updated your bootloader.
You need to determine the build you're on from recovery if you can get there and make sure you're flashing a build with the same (preferably) or greater (bad if you want to go back) bootloader. The 5th digit from the right is the bootloader version.
First of all - are you sure the phone got rooted in the 1st place? As your KNOX seems still 0x0 you probably did not modify too much...
Anyway - something to try is to flash the stock with additional PIT file included which rewrites the partitioning from scratch. Try that one

Cant flash stock firmware.

You may have to flash back to the original ROM your device came with, then work your way back up to whichever version you want.
This has worked for me a few times. An example would be I was on N, so had to flash "down" to Marshmallow since nothing N and up (Oreo, Pie) would flash. And the FRP lock will be removed using this method.
If you can get into download mode you can always recover your device, it may take several attempts.
Thanks SteveMurphy,
I will try that but i dont know what rom it was the orginal one, I dont get any error message on my download screen only message i got was in odin was re-partition and then cant not find pit
when add the pit it says set pit file

I would advise you download a ROM older than what you currently have and try that. I had this same issue, with the fail notification, and was able to fix not just that but also the FRP lock by flashing an old ROM (in my case it was a stock Marshmallow ROM from Sammobile).
So put all the files inside the zip (BL, AP, CSC) into their respective slots in Odin and flash it.
If you don't remember what you had, go to Sammobile and download/flash the oldest ROM they have. Latest firmwares will not work while you have FRP lock on.

Reason why i asked i took my phone into service center and they say on the samsung software they use the machine gives SIMRA error i dont know what that is, can it be couse the phone was rooted.
So hope if i use TWRP and go from there should work

No idea what Simra error is. Twrp should work just fine.

Yeah thanks everyone for being so kind to me and trying to help me i think the error they say is fimbriae or something they saying they cant load the firmware on. So i think that could be reason maybe the phone is rooted and they cant even load the software
