Here is a pic
I have been able to get it to download mode. I have tried flashing it with odin but it fails. I have no clue what the guy before me put on it. After it fails i get the security warning saying use smart start or something like that.
I have tried it and once I type in the info and click ok the program just closes.
All i am trying to do is get it back to stock.
Can anyone please help me?
Update i was able to get it flashed in odin but it still sticks on the recovery booting screen.
Any help is welcome

Update
Last night during the endless rebooting it came up with the recovery menu, then went past the first Samsung active logo to a fading Samsung logo and then the blue att logo.
Also the blue power light is now staying on.
And its still doing the boot loop
Another update :
Here is what I can get sometimes
I feel like someone out there can help me.
Please
Another update
Sorry for all the questions but i am still having problems.
Now I get this
Fail to open recovery no such file or directory
I was able to get to the recovery screen and I did the factory reset 2 times and cleared the cache.
It booted to the att logo and restarted.
Now it just shows the start up screen and then restarts.

Here is the recovery screen that shows its updated to sw ver 8
There is something weird with this phone. Yesterday I let the battery die to make sure it was a fresh boot and it came up with the red charge light for the first time and the correct charge symbol. Before it would charge but no lights and just a circle with lightning bolt.
Now its just doing the reboot loop again and won't go into recovery.
Has anyone else ever seen anything like that?
I am glad someone was able to help me. Apparently what i have been trying to flash is just a security update.
Can someone please send me a link for the latest full rom for s7 active?
I am able to flash this. G891AUCS6CSG2_ATT6CSG2
Is it a full rom?
I have tried every rom i can find. Either they won't flash because they are an older version, or the stick in the reboot loop.
The farthest i have gotten is the blue att ball
Still no luck and no help
Finally I see my problem.
FRP MODE is on.
I need a combination file for binary 6
Please.
Just wondering if this forum is in limbo . My s7 active was working perfectly fine [til 10/22/22] and then it froze and
then it would only go to download mode. So I flash latest Samfw.com_SM-G891A_ATT_G891AUCU6CTB1 ROM and
it goes to updating system, but displays ERASING - I have tried to install only recovery and the same
happens - It deletes everything I flash ? now it only flashed recovery, boot and modem and wont flash the larger BL,CS,CSC AP files ? Just trying to get the phone working again and to use it as a dash cam - LOL
Thanks for any input

Do you mind posting what you did that was able to work? I have to wait to find someone that will let me use a windows computer to run the flash tool I guess as I cant run it on Mac OS X
Stuck on the TWRP screen, and flashing zips doesn't work, every reboot brings it to the TWRP screen and I cant seem to find system.img or boot.img in the file directory from that screen so I am thinking it ALL got wiped
Thanks for any help
Just a little FYI, you named the thread hard bricked, however you were only soft bricked. Hard Brick is a dead phone... No power, no lights, or any response.

Hey all first post, I have a verizon note edge stuck in a boot loop. I've tried everything I could find online myself. Clearing the cache, doing a factory reset , and finally reflashing the original software. The reflashing through ODIN was successful but did not fix the issue. The phone still is stuck in the boot loop. It now makes it a bit further in the process to the point where you begin the initialization , please wait while we prepare your phone screen and select a language, sometimes you will hear a loud click noise when right as it restarts. Other times nothing at all. No matree what the phone will only stay on for a few seconds before restating. Does anyone have any suggestions? Thank you! !!
Found any solutions yet?
Hey mate, i have similar problem. Please let me know if you've found a solution. Thanks

I cant remember exactly which firmware i used from sammobile.com/firmwares/database/SM-N915V
I think it may have been version 4.4.4 of android or version 6.0.1. Im fairly certain that i used the older version thinking it would be best to roll it back further. You mentioned flashing TWRP. i am unfamiliar with this. I searched it on this site and came up with this twrp.me/devices/samsunggalaxynote4edgevzw.html Would i want to use the odin install method? Thank you so much for your assistance with this. This has been a nightmare
So I went to flash a Rom with Odin and now I can't get past the recovery screen. The phone will not show up when I plug into USB either. Is this phone officially toast?
Our crystal ball here at XDA is on the blink, unfortunately you're going to have to manually provide more information

Hi mate
You said past recovery screen in recovery mode?
What firmware you flashed with odin , which files ?
If you can get into download mode there is hope still... can you? , go to recovery factory reset see if you can boot now , if not flash again firmware with odin , to avoid losing data use your home_csc file if that does not work flash again this time using CSC and checking re partition option in Odin
The phone orginally was stuck in a boot loop so I downloaded what I thought was a working Rom to fix it. Apparently something went wrong because now all I can do is get to hard reset recovery screen. I can wipe cache and format and all but it does not do anything.
I tried to plug the phone onto my computer and nothing happens now where as before it would recognize as a s7 and would recognize in Odin.

But what did you try to flash a custom rom or a stock firmware?
What did you format in recovery?
Sometimes during bootloops getting into download mode is tricky , keep trying

Don't worry, two heads are better than one
---
Yea OP, as above, getting into DL mode sometimes takes a few attempts, keep Volume Down & Home & Power pressed until the phone reboots twice, after the second reboot keep them pressed and see if it boots into download mode
AFAIK with the demo units you need to flash the G930F firmware to them to unlock
But still no modem or fingerprint reader even after that iirc
But I can't used my pc to flash anymore. It does not show a device connected like if I plug in my s8.
The picture shows where I am stuck
Ok I got past that screen in dl Mode and found the right firmware or so I believe. Odin freezes when trying to add AP file. Without it my phone stays on the load screen. Help!

Wait, ODIN takes a long time to load AP, and looks like it has frozen, just wait and it will add eventually

That's because it's an International firmware, use United Kingdom (BTU)

KIES says that. (THR) Stock. i downloaded it and flashed with Odin. Then reboot. Then system install update. Then Erasing. Then reboot and No Command! 30 seconds keeps rebooting itself 30 seconds interval Random.
I did factory format, cache clear. then the same problem. i want to install twrp recovery with oden. It says Oem Lock. Not allowed. But i flashed Combinary file. I can get into system and i to developer mode but dosnt seem OEM UNLOCK that ll do enable it.
Ok mate, but if you press Vol- + Bixby + power for couple of seconds, can you access to download mode? If you can, I think you'll have to install the firmware all over again.
Try flashing using latest firmware from sammobile. Use Odin to flash all the files contained in firmware download. Make sure you get latest firmware for your carrier. Google how to flash using Odin. Hope this gets you in the right direction. Good luck finding what u need, do copious amounts of research before attempting any rooting of devices and if all steps aren't clear as day to you then do not attempt it unless you don't mind buying multiple expensive phones to tinker with.
Did OP find a fix to this problem?
I am experiencing a similar issue. Picked my phone up to find had randomly gone into a boot loop. Tried soft reset, cache wipe, factory reset - all successful but the phone would still reboot and be stuck on device model screen. Next I decided to flash the device with stock firmware. The flash passed in Odin, the phone then rebooted, loaded to device model screen, then a screen appeared saying "installing updates" which would make it to 25% then crash. After this the phone keeps booting, shows a screen with a dead android icon and says "no command" or "error". I have tried to flash the device using Oreo and Nougat firmware but have failed every time (although the flash did pass in Odin)
Any help would be greatly appreciated as I would rather not buy a new phone due to a random hardware fault which is out of my control.

So I have an S7 that had the stock tmobile rom and it just crashed out of the blue and started looping. I have tried to access the recovery menu ,but it just says recovery booting in blue text at the top of the screen and then goes to a screen that says installing system update which promptly fails and I get a screen of an android and an exclamation mark above it. This is the result after my attempts to flash the stock image with odin. I am able to get to download mode, but that is about it. I am trying to get at least the stock rom working, but I've had no luck so far. Any and all help would be appreciated

Hello, same as me, i got stock in the loop recovery mode, but in diferrent way, i try to tell help, or maybe someone help us both hahaha, the thing is the you need to know the "pda" of the phone in order to download the correct firmware, you need "odin 3.12", an the firmwares are in updato.com/, but, i think that you can download fw, descompress and use in odin only the "ap" and "home_csc" file, this will only update the o.s. and the home_csc will not mess with the partition, hope this coult help you, because, if you mess the partitions, and you dont know the pda of the phone, you will be like me, downloading all the fw, an trying with one by one. There something about "debbugin" and "oem" setting from deloper mode, i don't know if there will cause you trouble with the update.
Hope help you, if i'm wrong plz help us.
