Why You Need Kies after using Odin Flash firmware with Odin
Even if you have this message - "there is a problem with the firmware"
This is also a download mode reconnect cable and Flash

Go to Apps - Settings - More - About device and make us a beatiful screenshoot for take a look what happend
Hello everyone, hope all is well.
I was trying to install a factory ROM for my Galaxy S7 Edge and during the process, I believe I went and flashed a wrong ROM file (I think it was Galaxy S6 Edge's).
Anyways, due to that, my phone is completely bricked (softbricked? because I can turn it on?).
The problem I'm having is that when I turn on the device normally, it will show the GALAXY S7 EDGE logo but then it'd go straight into recovery mode.
In the recovery mode, it'd say "dm-verity verification failed.. " , "E: failed to mount /system (Invalid argument)". Then when I press Apply update from ADB/SD Card, it gives an error saying "Update from external storage is disabled".
I am able to get into the download mode also and downloaded correct factory ROM and flashed it but it gives me an error saying "Odin protocol version error" in the phone, and in Odin, it stops at "Initializing..." and the program crashes after 5 minutes or so.
I there anything I can do to unbrick this dude? I've been searching all over the place yesterday and could't find a right solution for me so I decided to write one myself.
Thanks in advance and I'll appreciate any help.

First of all why were you trying to flash a stock Rom? Next its a piece of cake take it to your local warranty store and ask them to flash your stock ROM as long as you didn't try to root it they should fash it for you. I've done it many times. Just tell them you were charging it overnight and had it turned off and when you booted up the next morning it was going crazy.
As I said if you weren't trying to root they should do it for you.

I was on a rooted Galaxy S7 firmware for development purpose but I wanted to take it back to factory setting and un-root the device by installing a fresh new one.

That sounds like a clever idea but if there's any way I could try to do it by myself before I take it to them, I wanted to try.

Well now I couldn't flash any of the firmwares out there that I found. I kept on getting the same error stated above. It is usa at&t model.
Perhaps, is there a custom ROM and/or other steps you'd recommend me to try?
Thanks for your replies though, I appreciate it very much.

I will try what you have suggested. But isn't twrp only install-able when the phone is actually turned on to OS? As far as I've researched, I saw that it needs to have developer mode on.

I tried to download one here http://androiding.how/galaxy-s7-edge-twrp-recovery/ and tried to flash it but I get the same error => "Odin protocol version error!", and stuck at "Initialization..".
Do you think you could verify if that link could be the one I'm looking for?

Allow oem unlock.. I didn't allow it.. I regretted so much after I flashed everything and realized i didnt turn it on. -_- Probably not fixable?

i am not a dev mate just learn from observation lol but from other devices i have seen them bricked if thats not been allowed in dev options but i am not 100% sure on this one service center is probs you best bet as some one said earlier as am sure if thats not checked nothing can be flashed as that command allows it its like the bootloader is still locked kind of thing
I would take it a service repair center before messing it up anymore, just to be on the safe side, you never know with these things, yeah it might be fixable but if knox isn't voided then you can just have it repaired properly for free.

Did you manage to get this sorted?
I'm having same issue
bump
I'm very confused. I did some research and I know that this happens when you flash something without OEM unlock. I flashed TWRP a week ago but didn't do anything with it. The error popped up just because I restarted the phone! I didn't try to flash anything and I even had OEM unlock turned on. I have no idea why it happened.
Now I know how to fix it. I have Odin and the required stock firmware files. But when I load the AP file to Odin, it says "Please wait", hangs for a second and crashes while giving some weird Korean error.
I have no idea what to do. I'm very stressed and my hands are literally shaking because this is my only device and it's not that cheap. So please help with the Odin error and maybe give me some advice on how to prevent that from happening in the future.
Thanks!

Try to redownload the firmware using a hard wired connection if possible. Could be a bad download.

Have you already tried Samsung Kies? You should be able to hold the volume down, bixby and power button to get the phone in download mode and when connected to the computer Kies should be able to restore it. If it's hard bricked it probably won't work, but maybe it's worth a shot. You should just be able to download it from the samsung official site.
