G930A stuck in update bootloop - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers

My G930A will no longer turn on. When I try to boot it into recovery, it shows the blue letters saying 'recovery booting' then, it shows a blue screen with the android logo that says 'installing system update'. It will switch between those screens over and over and sometimes boots into recovery but the screen is frozen so i cant do anything there. I am still able to boot into download mode though. the firmware version was G930AUCS8CRL1. I was able to flash the G930AUCS8CRJ2_ATT8CRJ2 firmware that is linked on xda, but it still has the same issues.
When I try to flash G930AUCU4CRE4_Oreo on Odin, it says:

As background, I had some success with rooting my device when it was in nougat, but I decided to revert to stock. I'm not sure if this is a residual effect of that...
This is what it says on the download screen:

Replied in other thread as well, but I believe you need to use the key combo to access recovery.
After the screen with the blue letters that say "booting recovery" give it about 10 - 30 seconds and press and hold power while you tap (press and release) volume up, then release power. That will open your recovery menu.
Factory reset and should be good
Cheers and best of luck
Feel free to PM me if that doesn't work.

Can't Flash Stock Firmware with Odin. HELP!!!!!

It's been a long day... Let me start by saying that i had my device rooted for a month without any issues. Last night, i noticed some apps were killing themselves for some reason but i didnt give it much thought. This morning while i was working, i noticed the phone app was crashing and not responding, so i decided to restart it. It ended up getting stuck on the T-Mobile boot screen. I tried to boot it into recovery mode, but it wasn't the normal recovery mode. It didnt give me option to scroll up and down with the volume keys. It's just a black screen with:
RECOVERY BOOTING......

It just stays on this screen until i power the device off, and it goes right back into a bootloop. Also, i can't boot into safe mode either.
So, I figured I would try to flash the stock firmware with Odin. I downloaded the firmware and tried to flash it and got this error:
<ID:0/004> Added!!

<ID:0/004> Complete(Write) operation failed.
<OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 1)
I did some searching and found that i might need to flash a .pit file, so i found the one for my device and put in in Odin. I tried to flash it and got this error:
<ID:0/005> Added!!
<ID:0/005> Odin engine v(ID:3.1203)..

At this point, I have no idea what to do or try. I need my phone for work and ive already missed today. If anyone has any advice, it would be greatly appreciated!!!!!

We need just a bit more info bro. What firmware you attempting to flash? And what firmware was already on the device? If you're on OTA would be good to note as well..

You need check at "re-partition" in Option Tab, and in PIT Tab, you download PIT of G935T, browser it then flash with your ROM via Odin together. Magic is happening )

Same issue here
I've tried to flash stock 4APIA to my SM-G935T TMO S7 Edge and I have not been able to get it to work. I am about to try the pit file, partition check and full 4 files to see if it will work now, I will keep you posted.
Have you been able to resolve the issue?

Help with unrooting s7edge G935P

So I wanted to root my phone tonight and thought I was doing everything right, well my phone rebooted and wouldn't connect to my carrier or anything and was checking device status the entire time..
So I decided to reboot and now I am just even more confused.. my phone at the current state is relooping into the recover reboot stage.. so I can't put the phone in USB debugging or anything like some post suggest..
I can get it to download mode but every time I try odin it fails and fails.. I have tried everything to my ability to get this phone to reboot on stock and I just cant seem to figure it out..
I am not to knowledgeable about ROM's and rooting and such and I learned my lesson.
When on the download screen is says at the bottom in red text " SW REV CHECK FAIL : [aboot] Fused 4 > Binary 2
This is the error code I get from Odin when trying to flash back to oem android on my S7 EDGE

I am more then open to any suggestions I just want my phone back lol

S7 edge, originally Verizon, flashed to Tmobile, now went to re-flash and I'm stuck.

I'm good to follow directions, I can't troubleshoot. Hopefully someone here can give me some direction. All info below. TIA!
Samsung S7 Edge.
Originally Verizon.
Used Odin to reflash TMobile
Worked fine for months.
Went to reflash to Verizon or unlocked.
(Perhaps it partially worked if that's possible as its listed as G935u now?)
Phone is stuck in loop.
I cannot turn the phone off using the power button.
Only battery drain will power it down.
Once charged and on, can only get out of the loop by entering power/home/ Vdown.
If I press Home: I get barcodes, check.
If I press Volume Down, Cancel
Black Screen:
Recovery Booting small blue letters...
"installing system update" blue screen, android man, two circling arrows.
Black screen flash, repeat.
or eventually/sporadically:
"no command"- blue screen tilted Android Guy with Exclamation mark in triangle
If I choose volume up: Continue

You need a more recent firmware file to flash.
This one will do the job: https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=6006931924117927499

Amazing. Thank you so much!
Curiosity- If I want to switch this back to Verizon per se, where can I find the updated firmware such as what you linked.
Probably a rookie move, but I've been sitting on Sammobile waiting a day and a half to download.

I think, the best way is to start here: https://www.verizonwireless.com/support/samsung-galaxy-s7-update/
They have a special "updater" tool which can "recover" your device.

[Solved] Odin fails at/after param.bin

Answer, apparently I was using v4 bootloader, thought I was on most recent, but I wasn't. Had a hard time finding newer/current firmwares for my device, but was able to find v5, flashed and went perfectly
So I'm trying to reset my phone as a bad rom flash caused some sort of issue and couldn't get back into twrp "official binaries only"
Find latest firmware for my csc (which was july) doesnt work, I thought it might have been a BL issue as I had the august patch through a custom rom, found a different csc which was from august, and I get the same error
I also no longer get the official binaries only, just a bootloop of "An error has occurred while updating....use emergency recovery function in smart switch" which I also tried, no luck, but I can still get into download mode
Using most recent odin, official cable, updated usb firmware and such and am running as admin. Have tried different ports too, but it always fails at same step

Same problem here, did you fix it?
Use the correct bootloader binary, the one you trying to flash is lower then currently installed on your phone.
Try flashing with the version 5 binary roms as displayed in your download mode.
