Help flashing stock ODIN file

[Cryceratops]

Hi there,

I have a G930W8 (Canadian S7) that I am trying to flash a stock 7.0 ODIN file to, I have used ODIN several times without issue... but this time it doesn't seem to be working.

I downloaded the latest 7.0 from Sammobile, and put the respective files (BL/AP/CP/CSC) in their boxes, but everytime I try I get a FAIL message, and it seems to be only the BL that's causing it:

<ID:0/006> Added!!
<OSM> Enter CS for MD5..
<OSM> Check MD5.. Do not unplug the cable..
<OSM> Please wait..
<OSM> Checking MD5 finished Sucessfully..
<OSM> Leave CS..
<ID:0/006> Odin engine v(ID:3.1203)..
<ID:0/006> File analysis..

<ID:0/006> Get PIT for mapping..
<ID:0/006> Firmware update start..
<ID:0/006> SingleDownload.
<ID:0/006> sboot.bin
<ID:0/006> param.bin
<ID:0/006> FAIL!
<ID:0/006>
<ID:0/006> Complete(Write) operation failed.
<OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 1)

My device reads SW REV. CHECK FAIL. DEVICE: 3, BINARY: 2

The other files seem to work but when I reboot without flashing the BL I keep getting force closes.... I tried downloading the latest file twice to make sure it's not corrupted but it keeps happening, any ideas what it might be?

You're not trying to downgrade are you? I'm not 100% if it carried over into Oreo, but the last bootloader in 7.0 locked it from downgrading.

No I am not; but it appears I wasn't using the latest available version of 7.0, tried downloading from another source and it worked now, thanks.
