[SOFT BRICKED SM-G930F] [NEED HELP] - Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers

So... I screwed up badly. I'm a noob and I was trying to get root access on my S7. I first followed this guide on the xda forums to step 15. While following this I had issues writing \data for the backup so I changed the partition from EXT2 to EXT3 fixing the issue. Then I was advised by someone that I shouldn't be following such an outdated guide and he sent me this one. But instead of going through the whole thing I only went from the part where I install the newest TWRP and everything worked. After a reboot on the the phone I booted into android and it was like after a factory reset with everything fine. I set some stuff on the phone up but didn't enable OEM unlock. Then the phone couldn't boot android with the FRP error. So I tried installing the stock firmware from here and that kept failing. Now whe I try to boot regularly instead of the samsung bootscreen with the FRP Lock error I get a light blue screen telling me to use the smart switch but ss didn't help me (it recognizes the phone and that something is wrong but the integrate fix option doesn't recognize the phone).
In odin I get this error when trying to flash the stock rom I linked to (Odin v 3.13) :

I can get my phone to currently only boot into the download mode and the broken boot mode where it tells me to use smart switch
If anyone has any idea on what I could do to to somehow restore the phone or to get it to a semi functioning state I'd be very grateful.
I'm currently downloading a stock rom from another website: https://www.sammobile.com/samsung/galaxy-s7/firmware/SM-G930F/AUT/#SM-G930F 2020-03-26 edition and will try it out once it's downloaded.
[EDIT] No luck with the different ROM, still the exact same issue.

Snapdragon or exynos?
SM-G930F=exynos more roms etc.
eg. Galaxy S7 G930U is = snapdragon USA version
mb. u try flash exynos rom having snap device?

[Completed] Hard Bricked Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge

I have a Verizon branded Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge. I rooted the phone. Later, I was trying to make some adjustments to the radio antennas and the phone hard bricked. I cannot factory reset or anything like that. I believe the bootloader is locked because I cannot load anything from the SD card or any other options.
I have tried re-flashing to the stock ROM using QPST Configuration, but it fails every time saying that the "Write failed" (as in no write access).
Part of the issue was that my phone would not be recognized in the COM port of the device manager; this was the problem that was not allowing me to make the radio adjustments. When I tried to get around this, that is when the phone bricked.
Are there any methods to re-flash a Verizon branded phone that is bricked and has this write access issue?
Thank you!

GALAXY S7 reboot while wipe in twrp

Hi guys,
I need help. My phone suddenly turned off and when I tried to switch it on, I got bootloop. When I enter twrp and choose wipe, my phone reboots. I installed a new version of twrp, but it doesn`t help. I tried to install custom roms, but around 60-70% reboot. Does anybody know how to fix?
Galaxy S7, G930FD
LineageOS 14.1
TWRP 3.1.1.0
thanks in advance

Help Installed Lineage on Samsung S7 not edge cant restor back to stock OS

Device info : Samsung s7 (not Edge) SM-G930W8 build G930W8VLU3CRE3 Canadian version for Rogers.
So I recently installed Lineage 15 Android 8.0 and rooted. Its super glitchy and I want to restore to a Stock Android 8.0.
I downloaded stock firmware, then open Oden and reboot my phone into download. I locate the BL, AP, CP, CSC home and click start in Oden.
Odin immediately says RESET, then PASS! My phone reboots and instead of loading a stock 8.0 OS it loads Lineage!!! I cant get past this. Can some one help?

I fixed the problem. I was using the wrong version of Odin. I was able to install android 8.0 Oreo using Odin verison 3.13.1. I then got stuck on the boot screen during my first boot. Using the Voumue up + down + home + power butts I did a forced reboot. Then Using vomume up + home + Power I went into recover my and did the following. Wipe data / factory reset Wipe cache partition. Reboot the phone and it now works. I thought I would post this info incase some one runs into this problem.

I messed up rooting s8+ now can't flash back to normal

Hi so found a guide on magisk on how to root s8+, but the version of twrp they used didnt accept touch input, so had to reboot the phone. I then flashed the latest twrp for that phone from the twrp website, but then when I went to wipe the data from twrp it said it couldnt mount some folders.
Anyway, so figured I should just wipe and start again. Downloaded latest stock firmware, loaded up the 4 files in Odin. if I use home_csc, the flashing process finishes in like 5 seconds saying successful, it should take longer since it needs to flash ap etc too but it doesn't seem to do that (but odin still says successful).
If I flash the normal CSC file instead, odin get stuck on "set partition"

Try to boot into recovery mode and factory reset again, and then instead of downloading the latest firmware, try to find a older firmware for you device and see if you can flash that
ignore this post please

Glad to hear you got it figured out? When you used older Odin, where you able to use latest firmware ?

Trying to fix S7 Edge (SM-G935F) with stock OS (never rooted) stuck in boot loop

Hi,
I was in the situation as I described earlier in the noob thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/help-thread-ask-any-question-noob-friendly.2257421/post-85728889
Meanwhile I kept reading a trying to make my phone start again. So I tried to to flash my phone to stock to fix it.
As I wrote in the above post I have a Galaxy S7 edge (SM-G935F) so I downloaded the latest from the Netherlands (where the phone is from) and Vodafone (my original provider) from Sammobile:
I tried to use this one: https://www.sammobile.com/samsung/g...e/SM-G935F/VDF/download/G935FXXU8ETI2/607496/
I think that's correct right?
However the following happened:

So it doesn't seem to get passed boot.img?
Afterwards the behaviour was different and its asking me to try emergency recovery with Samsung Switch (which does not even list my phone). I can still get in download mode in the phone though and try flashing again but I only get the same results (or an outright reject if I try slightly older firmwares).
Is there anything I can do now or is my phone broken?
Do you have solve the problem? because I have the same problem
