Try a hard reset from buttons...probably ur sticker bexoz u downgraded
Samsung has warned already that it's not safe to downgrade after updating to 7.0. Since the bootloader gets upgraded it will cause problems. If you have good skill in software you can manage.

I've upgraded to 6.0.1 to 7.0 then downgrade again to 6.0.1 many times on my G935F without encountering any problems. I prefer MM with Xposed better than 7.0.
If phone doesn't boot after upgrade or downgrade, I just do factory reset/wipe data in Recovery.
But because the phone doesn't have a detachable battery, to go to Recovery you have to press Vol down + Power + Home first then when screen goes black you have to immediately press Vol up + Power + Home buttons to go to Recovery.

have you solve this issue? i'm facing the same problem...please help...
Downgrade is possible without repartioning? Any advanced member guide pls. If you are flashing files separately, you will need the pit file too to downgrade and if you are flashing with full rom image in single tar file containing pit file , then its ok , i think in major os change partition table changes , so any advanced member opinion about downgrading process is needed.
Hi,
A3 2016 SM-A310F
I rooted my phone after a couple of years of not having done this type of thing and then got a bit carried away uninstalling system apps with Titanium I think (all microsoft, Samsung (Galaxy?) Health etc) (might have been the last one that did it?)
Now the phone is stuck on the boot screen 'Samsung Galaxy A3 6 Powered by Android'
I cant enter recovery mode or turn off the phone
I can only go into Odin mode or whatever its called with vol up + power + home
How can I get out of this please?
Thanks
Edit: I managed to solve it:
downloaded the 7.0 ROM from Sammobile (I wanted to go back to 6.0.1 but that gave a fail)
flashed it using Odin
I'm not sure whether I am doing something wrong, or if the phone is softbricked beyond recovery.
This is a Sprint phone. Phone shows the "Samsung Galaxy S4" logo, but will not boot up.
Most of the time it will not enter hard recovery mode (Volume Up + Power + Home), although it has at least once since the issue began. However, performing a wipe date/factory reset did not resolve the issue.
It will enter Download Mode (Volume Down + Power).
I flashed the stock rom (found here: https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=890129502657577654 ) using Odin 3.09, and got the "Pass" message. However, afterward, the phone would still hang on the "Samsung Galaxy S4" logo.
Next I attempted flashing the pit file for the SPH-L720 (found on this page: https://www.full-repair-firmware.com/p/galaxy-s4.html ) along with the stock rom and got a "Fail" message. Screenshot attached.
Any advice is appreciated.
I just tried flashing the rom alone with Odin 3.12 and got a "Pass". However, all I am getting is the "Samsung Galaxy S4" logo when I press the Power button.
Fyi for anyone else experiencing this issue. I got the rom to install by putting the phone in the freezer for thirty minutes before attempting to flash with Odin. This phone has tended to run hot since I had to replace the digitizer.
