[PLEASE HELP] Samsung S8 Stuck On Title Screen After TWRP Boot!

[Android Central Question]

Earlier today I attempted to flash TWRP onto my Samsung Galaxy S8 with Odin
It worked fine up until the phone went to restart my phone when it just got stuck on the first Samsung title screen where it reads "Samsung Galaxy S8 Powered By Android"
I have tried just flashing the Samsung S8 Firmware with the same result
It is an SM-G950F Exynos
Please Help Me

Try go into recovery and factory reset ?

I have attempted to do this but it still only freezes on the same title screen and does not go into recovery mode.

Would you recommend anything other than Odin?

Would you recommend anything other than Odin?

Odin is the only Flash program for Samsung devices .
Your welcome

Are you sure you used the .tar file, not the .zip file?

Did you reboot into recovery immediately after installing TWRP?

Yeah I didn't get it in a .zip, only a .tar, but im more focused on just getting the normal firmware back now

You use the correct firmware?

 

[Ryjjan]

You use the correct firmware?

I don't Know where you getting your firmware, but try going to sammobile website

 

[Ryjjan]

I don't Know where you getting your firmware, but try going to sammobile website

That's where I am getting it from but would it be the latest version if I did the update on that date?
