[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] Slade Hagler:
Okay so I'm extremely frustrated at this point attempting to try to fix my phone. I have the sm-g930vl(Straight Talk S7) and I attempted to root it a few days ago not knowing that the files/method I was using was outdated. After I tried to flash the root files in odin and it completed/passed my phone obviously began to reboot, but I quickly found out that I messed up somehow because it was now stuck into a recovery bootloop. It's now stuck booting into recovery where it attempts to install an update for about half a second and then reboots again and begins the same thing all over again. I tried to boot into recovery mode manually with vol-up+home+power but when I do it just continues to bootloop. So then I tried to boot it into download mode, and thankfully I was successful in doing that. And so after reading this entire thread and realizing that I must have messed my phone up by trying to flash a root file that was updated to my bootloader version or something, and that my best bet was to try to flash back the latest stock Oreo firmware. But Every time I try to flash it via Odin it fails. I downloaded the three files that Billa posted

- Samsung Security + OTA Disabler(Billa v2018-01-01)

Samsung_G930x_QC_UVEACSF1_v8.0.0_Eng_Boot_Root_v2019-06-04

- S7_Oreo_Nougat_Adb_Advanced_Root_v12

After I had It all downloaded I began goin through the steps that BillA had posted along with the files. I ran the Samsung security bat file, then I opened Odin/Added in the Eng Boot file, booted my phone into download mode, and began flashing it. For the first time in days I was able to get Odin to finally show a Pass sign, my phone then began restarting, yet to no avail it's still continuing to bootloop. I didn't freak out just yet because I knew I still had to attempt to run the root bat that's inside the advanced root file. And yet now I'm running into my latest problem, where no matter what I do I can't get my phone to show up on the computer as adb device. And yes I have installed the Android sdk tools that has the adb_usb_driver, but when I try to go to device manager to try to manually install the adb driver file to my phone I'm unable to find it in the device manager to be able to "Right-click, Update Driver, etc." I have tried to get it to show up while it's in the bootloop, as well as while it's in download mode, and while it does connect to the computer as a Samsung USB Storage Device, which is why I figure I'm able to get Odin to recognize it, it doesn't help me when it comes to getting it to connect as adb. Like I said also, I've tried to reflash the latest Official Stock Oreo Firmware File, but it fails everytime I try it. I'm about to take a few pics of the screen of my phone while in boot loop and while in download mode. Then I'll go ahead and try to go through the entire process again and take pics of all the Odin logs with each step, so that you guys are able to see exactly what I'm doing and what's happening when I do it in hopes that SOMEONE could PLEASE help me save my phone, because I definitely don't have the extra money right now to just go out and buy a new phone. Thanks in advance guys, and if there's anything specific that you want me to post to try to help you, help me out, more. Oh and I almost forgot to tell you that my phone does have the latest v10 bootloader, which as I've read is where I think my biggest problem or roadblock is coming from.
