I would like to report that at least we have SUCCESSFULLY flashed and rooted MJ7 UK firmware using Mobile Odin Pro 3.85.
This is for the SM-N9005 Qualcomm Snapdragon model.
We were originally rooted on MJ1 by using Root de la Vega, with Knox 0x0, which made the Mobile Odin flash possible.
SUCCESSFUL FIRMWARE VERSIONS ROOTABLE: MI7, MJ1, MJ3
UNSUCCESSFUL ROOT :MJ6 and later
NOTE: THIS DOES NOT RESET YOUR KNOX if it is 0x1.
Originally reported in a Malaysia forum here: - XDA user williamyi (WiLyi on Lowyat.net forum) was the first user to report trying this method with success. Thank him in post 2 !!

Knox remains 0x0
All we need to do is to to reinstall Xposed and its mods.
Thanks @Chainfire !!!!!
Many other XDA users are also now reporting success by flashing to MJ7 using this method.
Steps: (thanks to WiLyi of Lowyat.net forum) aka @williamyi in XDA
1. Download UK MJ7 firmware.
2. Extract the tar.md5 (I placed in internal SD - not sure if this make any differences)
3. Open the tar.md5
4. Check:
i. Everroot
ii. Inject SuperSU
iii. Inject Mobile Odin
5. Flash
NOTE: Mobile Odin will throw a standard warning about tripping Knox. That can be ignored (we did). Remember to tick Everroot so that you will be rooted immediately upon flashing.
NOTE: Mobile Odin "A compatible device was detected, but with an unexpected partition layout. Mobile ODIN cannot operate. This is a common error on CM and MIUI ROMs on some devices."
This can be solved by uninstalling and reinstalling SuperSU or its updates.
