The baseband of my version is G891AUCU2BQA7. Also where would I find the link to the 6.0.1 firmware, and what version of odin should I use?

Okay, yes it is
Heres my post when I was searching for it myself.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/s7-active/development/how-downgrade-7-0-to-6-0-1-t3590649
The download mirror link is in there
Download and extract using the password in that forum
Boot into download mode and flash it with Odin.
I can confirm this works.
Just got an S7 Active G891A and I want to downgrade the firmware to root it. It's on the QB2 Firmware. Is it possible to downgrade without risking bricking it?

Yes, it's possible. Just flash through ODIN. And after flash, reboot into stock recovery and wipe data or else you will get a bootloop.

Yes just flash stock ROM via update app, and you will lose root.

You have to do local update. Online update not available yet.
Download the firmware. In it there is a "update" file. Put that file into your sd card under the folder "dload". Then go to settings and local update.

Thanks for the post, especially including flashable firmware. Has anyone with US ATT model tried this yet? Do you know where I can find US 4.4.4 firmware to go back if needed? I have searched, but no luck on this apparently orphaned device.

The firmware in the first post works good but you have to take the radio out of it or it will break your wireless connection with att.. I know from first hand experience ?

Hi all! Thank you for this post because it was useful to me.
I have the htc desire eye and I have well flash this rom stock via twrp 2.8 on my eye and must say that Rom works very well. The only concern I have is when I try to do a software update; It finds an update, downloads it but it can not install it. It displays the following error message: "It seems that you are using a modified version of htc software then for your security we can not install the update."
So please, could anyone help me ??
Thank you!

none of them are your firmware, go to download mode and read the one that says OS:this is your firmware
you must have MM firmware to install MM roms, so if it doesn't start with a 3.xx.xxx.xx it's not MM, unless you are on Verizon they have a LP firmware that starts with a 3.

There's an answer to this in the Verizon Note 5 thread. Just use the AT&T firmware instead of for the Verizon firmware.

Which firmware did you try to use because you can only go back so far.. Like you can't go from Nougat all the way back to MM 5.0.1 because of the locked bootloaders! Try downloading and using this firmware.. After it's downloaded extract the file 1 time so you get a .md5 file that odin can use.. The link is below.
Download this firmware and try.

It's not possible right now to go back that far.. Nothing can be done until the bootloaders get unlocked.

Yes it is passable. You need to find at last firmware with baseband N920AUCS4CPK1. One did you try to flash did not work because it was bootloader version 3 and since you are on android v 7.0 your bootloader is v4. Look for firmware where after S or U you see 4. In example N920AUCS3BPH4 you got 3, this mean bootloader is v3.
Good luck
