Samsung Galaxy S7 stuck in TWRP slpashscreen loop. - General Questions and Answers

Yea, the title says it all. Odin detects the phone, but i cannot do anything with the phone. It would be nice if someone could help me, I would like to have stock Android 8.0 (if possible 7.1 i like it better). Thanks. Data loss isn't a problem for me. Made a backup before i did this to my phone.

Ty for your answer, but I tried to found answer in other threads. Nothing. I know how to restore backup, but nobody told how to restore encrypted backup. Looks like this thread is prohibited by Lord Voldemort

I don't have this device and the help thread is where I would go to ask a question if I can't locate another thread for an answer.
I don't have this device but, I do have TWRP and, personally, if I can't restore a backup, then i just delete the backup file and start over again with a fresh installation on the device. It's a bummer but, nothing is perfect or guaranteed.

Making others aware of an issue is a great thing to do but, if there's a specific support thread, like the following, it's an even better place to make any issues known for other members who have that specific device and TWRP.

BL file keeps failing to download using ODIN

Hello, i would really appreciate if someone give me a solution/s because i am running out of patience and options. i tried possibly everything i found and nothing works.
I have a S7, Model SM-G930W8 with Virgin Mobile Canadian version. This started when i tried to install the latest software update using ODIN. The BL file FAILS all the time. I tried using the other 3 files without BL and everything works, but with BL dont. I am 100 % sure that BL file is the problem because i tried in ODIN that file alone and it FAILED. Also i tried 6.0 Software and the same thing. Also Stock Firmware the same result. BL keeps failing on ODIN.
Please i really need help. thanks in advance to anyone for time and efforts

Thank you for replying to my issue. I already tried 2 of those links you have provided. Also posted my question to the last link, still waiting for any answer hopefully.
While i was trying to fix my phone today i notice that TWRP recovery was still there. I have no clue whatsoever how TWRP is still on my phone, because i have been formatting the phone so many times trying to fix the issue of BL file and never installed back the TWRP. Perhaps is the TWRP who is preventing the BL file being install on the phone. What's your guess ? do you have any good idea how to remove/ uninstall TWRP from my phone ? thanks again

Thanks to your HELP finally it worked. I was able to flash BL and CP files at first and then all 4 files together. Saying only thank you is very small compare to the big relief you have provided. Truly and Sincerely THANK YOU.
The last 2 things i will ask from you, as there are very unsafe methods out there:
1) How can i reverse safely to the STOCK Firmware, is there any specific procedure ?
2) Now the Phone is sitting on Nougat 7.0 version (https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/galaxy-s7/SM-G930W8/VMC/download/G930W8VLS3BRA2/205626/ ) which is the latest for my phone, Could you advise any safe method to root this version ?
thanks again for your time and efforts. all the best. peace

Sasmung S7 SM-G930F

Hi all,
I am trying to flash my Sasmung S7 SM-G930F to Android 6 as I hate Nougat and now its powering on and going straight to factory binary mode every time I restart start the phone. I have matched the com file and firmware with the binary etc so I thought it would work fine. Any help would be great as I hope I havent bricked my phone.
Thanks
Andrew
