Downgrading Samsung Galaxy Edge from Oreo 8.0 to Nougat 7.0 - Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers

Hi,
I'm looking for some help/confirmation in regards to down grading a Samsung Galaxy Edge 7.
Current phone details:
SM-G935F
Android version 8.0
Kernel version 3.18.91-13895453-QB20061915
Build Number: R16NW.G935FXXS3ERJ4
Android Security patch: 1/10/2018
Carrier: O2
Tried to Install:
Country / Region: United Kingdom (O2)
PDA: G935FXXU1DQL8
Product Code: O2U
CSC: G935FTEF1DQL8
Phone: G935FXXU1DQL8
Where i have got to so far:
1. Installed Samsung USB
2. Downloaded Odin v 3.13
3. Downloaded the firmware I want to downgrade to from updato.com
4. Gone into download mode and tried to use Odin with the firmware.
5. Hit an error
The error on the phone shows "sw rev check fail device 3 binary 1"
The error in Odin is:
Code:
<ID:0/003> File analysis..
<ID:0/003> SetupConnection..
<ID:0/003> Initialzation..
<ID:0/003> Get PIT for mapping..
<ID:0/003> Firmware update start..
<ID:0/003> SingleDownload.
<ID:0/003> sboot.bin
<ID:0/003> NAND Write Start!!
<ID:0/003> FAIL!
<ID:0/003>
<ID:0/003> Complete(Write) operation failed.
<OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 1)
After some searching and reading Is it a case that the bootloader is now updated so I cant downgrade back?
Thank you

The error in question is because of your updated bootloader. So there is no possibility to install from older stock odin roms. You can only do this through custom roms.

Flashing stock firmware to 5.1.1 SM-G925W8 (Canadian/Telus) problems. HELP!

Hello I recently rooted my phone on 5.1.1 (Lollipop) and everything went well no issues till last night when I tried to install xposed installer and ended up soft bricking (I think) my phone, where it will turn on to the samsung s6 edge + logo and just sit there and won't go any further. I found out how to flash to the original firmware using Odin 3.10.7 and with the stock firmware file.
now I put my phone into download mode and connect it to Odin, put the firmware file into the AP section and hit start.
Once I hit start I get a fail message and this :
<ID:0/003> Odin engine v(ID:3.1100)..

I've tried different firmwares from different sites, different odin verions, USB ports please help
I tried uploading pictures and links to the firmware I used but apparently I need 10 posts before that so if you want to know anything else in order to help please ask.
am non rooted trying to flash a different firmware and I get the same. I remove the OEM lock but cannot flash anything
odin 3.10.7 works
You write SM-G925W8 that´s S6 Edge, not S6 Edge+!!! Try firmware for SM-G928W8!

Unable to flash ANY rom through ODIN: Complete(Write) operation failed.

Hey guys,
I have an issue with my Samsung Galaxy S8 SM-G950F,
I am simply unable to flash any roms through ODIN. Each attempt results in a "Complete(Write) operation failed."

I have tried flashing an unimaginable number of stock roms and combination roms, none of which work. I am able to flash custom roms through TWRP, however, each rom I flash shows no signal. I believe my IMEI and EFS has become corrupt and now I wish to flash a combination rom (to fix these EMEI and EFS issues), however I simply cannot flash any rom through odin. Each time I attempt to flash a rom though ODIN, I get one of
two messages on my phone:
SW REV. CHECK FAIL(BOOTLOADER) DEVICE: 4, BINARY: 1
or
SW REV. CHECK FAIL(BOOTLOADER) DEVICE: 3, BINARY: 1
Help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks guys
Hi,
you need to flash only the latest ROMs where bootloader version is 4, i.e., something as G950FXXU4CRI5 where the 5th letter from right is 4.

Try downloading the latest firmware for your phone and region, if you still get sboot.bin failure its probably due to the USB cable you are using, I swapped my USB cable and now my S6 is happily flashing.
Tyr flashing without CSC.
You can flash CSC later I think.

[Solved] Odin fails at/after param.bin

Answer, apparently I was using v4 bootloader, thought I was on most recent, but I wasn't. Had a hard time finding newer/current firmwares for my device, but was able to find v5, flashed and went perfectly
So I'm trying to reset my phone as a bad rom flash caused some sort of issue and couldn't get back into twrp "official binaries only"
Find latest firmware for my csc (which was july) doesnt work, I thought it might have been a BL issue as I had the august patch through a custom rom, found a different csc which was from august, and I get the same error
I also no longer get the official binaries only, just a bootloop of "An error has occurred while updating....use emergency recovery function in smart switch" which I also tried, no luck, but I can still get into download mode
Using most recent odin, official cable, updated usb firmware and such and am running as admin. Have tried different ports too, but it always fails at same step

S7edge stuck in Boot, need help in flashing firmware with Odin

Hi there,
The Samsung S7 Edge of a friend got stuck @boot. I have tried to reset and wipe. But that does not solve the problem.
So now i am trying to put on the latest official firmware from Samfw, Smammobile and/or Frija but Odin 3.14 fails.
I think the phone got stuck in an OTA update.
Please help
Here are more details.
S7 Edge SM-G935FD in the Netherlands (PHN), the G935F version should be working as well, its an exynos chipset with dual sim.
In download mode it says on top left:
Product Name: SM-G935F
Current Binary: Samsung Official
System Status: Official
FRP Lock is ON (i cannot go to devevlopper mode to change that)
Secure Donwload: Enabled
Warranty Void: 0
AP: SWREV: B:8 K:6 S:7
I followed all kind of guides on XDA
Get the right Odin 3.14
Get the right Firmware. Samfw.com_SM-G935F_PHN_G935FXXU8ETI2
Using Default Odin Settings
I have a connection to the phone.
This is the ODIN log:
