Galaxy s7 "Recovery Booting" loop

[Android Central Question]

I have a Galaxy S7 that is currently a brick. It does nothing unless it is on a charger. When it is on a charger, I get blue text in the top left hand corner that says "recovery booting" which then disappears and then repeats. I have tried to hard reset it and soft reset it but neither button combos work.

I have been able to get to a "custom OS" screen by pressing Home and Volume Down, which then asks if I want to continue, restart, or show barcode, all of which options restart the loop. I have taken it to a few stores/repair places and all of them have not been able to do anything.

Did the phone once work normally for you? If so, did the trouble develop gradually or suddenly?

Can you get into recovery to do factory reset?
