Hi, I want to downgrade back to Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow by flashing it through Odin. But when it starts flashing, the box says FAIL. Any solution to fix this? Thank you in advance.

Before flashing the firmware you need to flash the marshmallow bootloader and modem for your device then you can successfully flash firmware.

AP I mean sorry. Look at all the boxes you ticked to flash on the right hand side. Only AP should be selected

Guys I have a G928C model which just received an OTA update of some 150MB. I can confirm that it is a fresh update which came today.
After updating I tried flashing custom recovery following the method mentioned on [HOW TO] Rooting Flashing Custom Recovery & Kernal thread. Odin fails to flash recovery, stock recovery remains. Other two images are of me trying to flash the older stock rom which gives another strange error.
Please help me out.
Did you enable the option oem unlock in developers options?
OEM unlock and usb debugging were on
MD5 of the files were ok? I assume you have the kernel/recovery specifically for your device.
No issues with MD5, kernel or recovery. Was running the device with custom recovery,kernel and root before i went back to stock and updated it OTA.
It is mentioned a few times that J5 is NOT downgradeable, so no chance to go back to you old rom!
and, if i remember right, it also has been mentioned that J5 blocks custom recovery! search in the general section!

I tried to root my galaxy A7 5.0.2 lollipop. Odin said passed but something is wrong.
I'll keep things simple:

"Recovery is seandroid enforcing"
"Set Warranty Bit: recovery" in the top of the screen
Recovery: no
Download mode: yes

Flash the bootloader and CSC files with the stock firmware. The bootloader file should go in bootloaders section, CSC file in CSC and firmware file in AP/PDA.

I m trying to find it out.
P.C. I m new to developing so I m still learning.
BTW did u try to flash the lollipop update manually via Odin?
Did u get the modem file in that firmware? If yes then flash it too with Odin. This might work to get the ota update.

On what build are you ? If you on BQA6 you are on official Nougat firmware. You don't have to do anything. If you are on BQA4 you need to use Odin from this post : https://forum.xda-developers.com/att-s7-edge/how-to/firmware-pi2-s7-edge-sm-g935a-10-03-16-t3477246 and firmware from here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/att-s7-edge/how-to/firmware-s7-edge-sm-g935a-g935aucs4apk1-t3549458

OK you have ways of possibly bypassing this issue.
One is to root the device. This will patch the boot.img and disable dm-verity.
Or use an eng boot.img.
