A little background
I accidentally disabled and re-enabled developer options and forgot to reactivate oem unlock. when I swapped out my sim card for a trip, it generated the "custom binary blocked by FRP"
I went ahead and solved it by flashing a stock rom.
Here's where my main problem happened :
I can't seem to root the device and I can't seem to be able to flash a custom rom over it either.
When I attempted to root via cf auto root or Magisk (via Odin), the phone will load up then I get a screen saying "Verification Failed" + a notice that the only way to fix it is to do a factory reset.
I just reflash the stock rom back but lose root.
I also tried doing a dirty flash of SuperStock and while the initial install was successful, it won't load up. I left it alone for an hour and nothing happened.
I don't know what else I can do to atleast just root the phone so I can use titanium backup to backup all my app data.
I'm assuming that when I flashed the stock unrooted rom, it went ahead and encrypted my internal storage which is the issue I'm having right now.
I would love to get this sorted out.
I've attached a ss of the build info
Thanks!

Today when trying to update the busybox binaries it failed. Whereupon I lost root and wifi stopped working and I couldn't root the device again.
I did factory reset/wipe to no avail (wifi still dead and couldn't reroot). Then I restocked using odin doing wipe again. After the restock wifi worked again but now I'm not able to root the device (I'm using the root.zip method from recovery). Superuser can't update the su binary and neither can SuperSU.
Any help with this dilemma (getting root back) would be appreciated. Thanks.
First uninstall the update of version 3.0 of superusers. In the handler for app not see more' the application but if you go in the menu you will notice it is still there, given that many ROM cook have a default. Then the total uninstall does not, you can do. Now download the package of the binaries and flash using Recovery http://www.mobilegeek.it/?dl_id=397 once finished initiated the device and download from the market the update to version 3.0 . Now open superuser /settings and select "Track on v3.0 " to update correctly the rails. If the process give you all the "OK" green vul say that everything is alright. If by some red writing reboot the device and try to reflash the rails ...

Let me start this by saying Its been awhile since i rooted or did anything on my phone. When i bought my S4 i came here and followed instructions to root it, i dont remember what they were but I do remember the chinese program vroot and changing whatever it was to MJ7. Then I installed or flashed (sorry dont know the lingo) hyperdrive 15.
A few days ago i noticed there was an update for hyperdrive to v17, found "Hyperdrive+RLS17.1+KK+S4+Final.zip" and downloaded it. Rebooted safestrap into recovery then messed up the order of installing from zip, data wipe/factory reset and clearing cache. It took a few tries but it finally booted up and i had to enter email again to activate the phone so i thought i was good to go.
I checked the "about phone" and it seems to me im on the same hyperdrive15.I keep running into a problem installing safestrap. It says im not rooted so I started going though the same walkthrough I think i did before. VRoot_1.7.0.3882_Setup was having trouble seeing my phone then never really completed, (Im guessing but it is in chinese) Still no root.
Heres a couple screenshot since i dont really know where exactly I am. What do i need to do to get back to rooted?

Despite all the good posts on here I have been unable to get my phone out of a boot loop, and am now quite desperate for help please!
If anyone can point me in the direction of a rom or kernel that will definitively work on my phone I will be eternally grateful
It was ok until I decided to unlock bootloader and root it.
Unlock bootloader went well, as did flashing TWRP and also CWM – I have a suspicion that it was rooting with OneClickRoot caused the problem.
After over a day of failure I discovered how to do ADB Sideload at this thread: I used CM11 I got from this thread: and also tried a Stock one from here:
sadly nothing worked, and I'm now afraid of filling my phone storage with large files. I have added some screen shots of my failed attempts with TWRP & CWM
they both fail, and TWRP does warn me not to reboot as I have no OS installed, but I had to keep on trying.
Another weird thing is that I cannot always reboot to recovery from the Hboot screen and have to re-flash a recovery image each time.

SOLVED
no need to reply now folks, I got the job done ... see here
I flashed a root rom, didn't work. Flashed a stock rom, phone turned on normally. All functions are working fine except that no sim card can be detected and the phone's IMEI is gone! During flashing of stock rom I didn't flash BL as that caused errors.
I used a 7.0 stock rom, should I use 6.01 instead?
Edit: Camera and home button seems to have issues too. Can't use the home button without opening camera, and camera doesn't work.
Is your S7 fake?
Where did you get the stock rom from?
Did you write down or remember the "Build Number" before you flash your phone?
If Yes, redownload the stock rom that with the same "Build Number" and reflash with the latest Odin.
Also, make sure to enable USB debugging and OEM unlock.
When You use odin to flash a stock rom to your phone, make sure it look something like this on your computer before you click Start:

So I wasnt able to use GPay anymore when I rooted my device a month or two ago. Understandable.
To fix that, I've tried unrooting: didnt work. Now I reinstalled OOS entirely, wiped the whole device first, and it still doesnt work.
Do I need to lock the bootloader again or what are the criteria to get the certification?
Here some screenshots

Wipe all is different with erase all, if you really want to wipe all use toolallinone firmware recovery flash and select wipe all and reboot options. Gpay probly sees the root files or magisk manager somewhere still
I don't really think that that was the case. I wiped everything in TWRP and then formatted the data as well.
In case someone else is facing this problem, this is what I did:
Boot into fastboot and re-lock the bootloader.
Code:
fastboot oem lock
I was then only able to boot into fastboot, and since the bootloader is locked, you can't boot into TWRP etc.
You then turn off the device and use MSM Tool to re-install OOS.
