Look for instructions regarding soft brick, you'll just have to reflash via odin.

Flashing a N900A firmware in one N9005 is SUPER WRONG WRONG WRONG. Give a look here select one firmware good for your device and flash it via ODIN.

thank you for the reply, am downloading this one...N9005XXUGPOF3...from Nordic countries...will it remove the AT&T bootloader
I have a Galaxy S7 SM-G935FD International Edition which, thru a long sequence of missteps, I have gotten to the point where I can only get to the Samsung Logo Screen or the ODIN download mode (ie. no boot). I flashed TWRP 3.0.2-0-herolte, apparently successfully, by converting the zipped file I found to a .tar and using ODIN 3.10.7 on a Win10PC. But I am unable using any key sequence to get into any TWRP recovery mode - only the two modes above. I tried to convert the Superman rom on this forum to a tar also, but flashing stopped after Aroma at starting NAND write. In my many missteps, what I was trying to accomplish is to debloat and root the phone, at least to gain root access using Android adb. I was able to do this on my previous S6 Edge, but Samsung's vast security barriers have defeated me.
Steps to recover from this mess greatly appreciated ...... hopefully steps I can complete using ODIN ............ thx, Gus

Flash Stock Rom via ODIN.

I was unable to find a stock rom for the international. I found a zipped UK no carrier stock rom. Since ODIN doesn't flash zipped files, I unzipped and saved to a tar file using 7-Zip on Win10. Attempts to flash the tar file using ODIN crashed ODIN on the PC. I'm not sure what's wrong, as I used the same method to flash the zipped TWRP file, and finished with a "success"
I note that I have a message saying kernel is not seandroid enforcing. Somehow I think using ODIN to flash a stock rom is being blocked by some Samsung secutity feature I cannot identify and haven't overcome. Gus
Check this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3335065 I don't know if you have experience with Odin process. Google it preferably look at YouTube video, if you feel shaky on Odin concepts.

1. "I flashed TWRP 3.0.2-0-herolte, apparently successfully, by converting the zipped file I found to a .tar and using ODIN 3.10.7 on a Win10PC." Reflash this FILE via ODIN coz you flashed wrong one and boot in it. Go to next step if doesn't work.
2. Flash Stock ROM via ODIN. SM-G935FD use the same firmwares that SM-G935F.
Careful with ODIN. Make sure you are running on the latest version, as I myself has problems using it for the Galaxy S7 Edge on an offer version

maybe my question will be weird lol...how can i sofbrick a s7 g930p to be exact and then i can just unbrick flashing the U firmware? thanks.
Hello, I have recently installed Android 8.0 (Unofficial) on my S7 edge as mentioned in this thread by ProtoDeVNan0. And also installed TWRP recovery as explained here to upgrade it. After installation figured that it has some issues with some features.
So now I am trying to downgrade to the latest official firmware.
But every time I download and install the official firmware zip file using TWRP, it says the zip file is corrupt. So I tried downloading from different sources and still it says it is corrupt in TWRP.
And then I tried using Odin after extracting the Zip file. Using the tar.md5 files inside it. It fails as well.
And also found no way to install the official recovery.
Is there any way I can downgrade from 8.0 to official 7.0? And also I would like to remove TWRP and install official recovery. Basically returning it to its original state.
Searched a lot and found no possible ways to do so.
Please help. Thank you
SOLUTION:
I have found the solution to the issue.
I previously tried using odin to load all the packages in the zip file all together which was the reason i was getting the error.
The solution is to tick and select AP file only in odin and start.
(in case stuck at meta-data unplug)
Then reset odin and re-start the phone into download mode again.
Now tick and select the CSC file (not HOME_CSC), and then start.
After the phone reboots, a factory data reset will occur and phone boots up.
Why are you using TWRP to attempt to install Official samsung firmware?
You do it all through ODIN, it'll put your device back to basically original setup state with stock firmware. Flash with CSC and not home_CSC, I assume you have no data you will need to backup before hand.
More info here:
http://updato.com/how-to/how-to-install-an-official-samsung-stock-firmware-using-odin
Which Version you use odin? I try your solution but dont work on my g935f?

STILL NOT DOWNGRADED!!
You can apply the solution described above (using ODIN to flash AP, CP and CSC with a previous version of firmware). However, the Boot-loader will remain under the latest version (since January 2018 update).
The problem is drastically worst for those who used to patch certificates before the January 2018. For those users, I will advise to not install the update from January 2018 because, they will not find any tools currently available to patch certificates and get the phone work a new. They can try but it will not be successful and the phone will keep saying "Emergency call only" or "not registered on network".
Anyone having successful experience to inform others please!
Thank you.

Yes it Solved. You Need to have Stock Firmware of March , and extract PIT File, then flash Firmware with PIT File.
In Options tab check "F. Reset Time", "Auto Reboot", "Nand Erase", "Re-Partition" and "Phone Bootloader Update". Rest options must be UNCHECKED!!!
If anyone need Firmware of March for G935F and the PIT , then let me know.

after trying for many days got this Solution.
The baseband should be same or higher of the firmware to downgrade.
Example: G935FXXU2DRAG Oreo
G935FXXU1DRAG Nougat ( will not happen.)
Both should be same I mean the U2 in the middle.
Or u can downgrade upgrade from U1 oero to U2 Naugat. But not from U2 to U1 Baseband.
Hope it helps.
Just download last nougat release and flash it using latest odin simply guys,
I have tested, no one needs to use pit file or nand erase etc. Use samfirm to download latest firmware for your model. Then use latest odin to flash. Be sure to use normal csc file, NOT the home csc. You don't need pit file when using normal csc, its included with it.
If you used twrp recovery etc to flash unofficial oreo releases, you need to first confirm if oem unlock is enabled, don't tick on auto reboot option, just tick F.reset from odin options, then first flash latest nougat for your region through odin, then flash twrp through odin. Then when odin says pass, force reboot into twrp recovery from download mode, then format data in twrp and flash super SU/magisk and no verity opt encrypt. Then reboot and you will be good.

can't downgrade
odin gives "FAIL" when starting the procedure.
i have the U1 nougat version and the U2 oreo version.
can't seem to find U2 nougat ( if any) and I guess upon upgrading to OREO sonething had changed and can't downgrade anymore.
I managed to get into android recovery and did a factory reset and total wipe but nothing, through ODIN flashing doesn't work.
Any ideas anybody ? I really want to downgrade so I will be able to install stock nougat, and flash an oreo custom ROM with magisk in order to get around the KNOX triger thing.

You can't flash U1 nougat on U2 oreo firmware. It has been all over xda that U2 firmwares has Version 2 bootloader which can't be downgraded to Version 1 bootloader of U1 firmwares. Nougat has many U2 firmwares, you simply need to search..

bluetooth start works but need switch off battery optimization
Hello everyone
I found it!!!
Problem with your bluetooh connection after upgrade can be solved in one of the way follow previous post or "disable battery optimization.
I try before swichng off and on all networks, emergency mode etc. and nothing happen.
Disable battery optimization
Sometimes battery optimization also messes up with Bluetooth connections. I suggest you check battery optimization settings and remove Bluetooth from it. To do so, follow the steps:
Open device Settings and go to Battery. There is few ways to go there:
first can be: open settings go to "device maintenance">>>clik on "battery">>>clik on "batterry usage">>>clik on 3 dots right top corner>>>then clik "optimise battery usage">>> and u are there - swich off “Bluetooth MIDI service” and apps that you use with Bluetooth such as Play Music, Phone, youtube, maps etc.
2nd
open settings Tap the 3-dot menu present at the top right corner and select “Battery Optimization”.
Turn off Battery Optimization for “Bluetooth MIDI service” and the apps that you use with Bluetooth such as Play Music, Phone, youtube, maps etc.

Put the pit file in the section marked pit file in odin
Tick repartition
Put firmware in AP section of odin
Flash any firmware you want for your device that includes the pit file
I gave you a suggestion of firmware in the previous post
G906LKLU1CPL2_LUC1CPL2_V6.0.1_Repair_Firmware_4Files - would be the latest on that site

I cannot make a subscribed account in the website cause I dont have any money. Im just a student. Thank you btw.
I am having a heck of a time installing the stock firmware on this device. It came to me softbricked and I have used almost every firmware available from the XDA official Galaxy Tab 4 forum, Sammobile and even the SAMFIRM tool. I do not know if this is a PDA issue or what, But I have been able to flash the bootloader with TWRP and install some custom roms which makes me think I am using the wrong firmware but I am lost as of right now.
FIRMWARES I HAVE TRIED:
T530NUUEU1BQC1_T530NUXAR1BQC1_HOME.tar
T530NUUEU1AOA2_T530NUXAR1AOA2_HOME.tar

Other Regions XAC and BNN Firmwares
_T530NUXAC1BQC1_HOME.tar
T530NUOVS1BPL1_T530NUBNN1BPL1_HOME.tar
I have tried multiple cables and odin3 versions
Odin3 v 3.04
Odin3 v3.07
Odin3 v3.12.3 & v3.12.5
Odin3 v3.13.3
Odin always fails on aboot.mbn not matter what...sometimes I can get it to say re-partition failed or secure boot fail PIT or secure boot fail aboot
When I flash the stock bootloader I can see at the top of the screen T530NUUEU1BQC1 and at the bottom Multi CSV, XAR selected.
Any help would be very much appreciated.
Anyone have any suggestions at all?
If someone could please let me know what I am doing wrong or any other suggestions I would greatly appreciate it.
Something I forgot to mention is whenever I try to flash the stock firmware it always fails on aboot.mbn. I really hope someone can give me some insight on this.
I can't answer your questions, but: Does it have to be the original Stock Rom? Why don't you stay with a custom rom? Dirty Unicorns MM may be old but it's very stable since years on my device.
I mean I don't " have" too install the stock rom but I would like to know what my problem is it would greatly help me in the future on other devices.
I will give dirty unicorn a go.
