Odin failing at boot.img

[xThunderSlugx]

I have an older s7 laying around that I was going to go ahead and try to root. It is a Snapdragon processor but I'm trying to use an Engineering Bootloader I found for Oreo. I have the 8.0 FW and 9.0 SE. My phone is through Verizon and I have the SM-G930V. I have tried all three different usb ports on my laptop and Odin fails everytime at the same spot.

Forgive me as this is my first time rooting, but I didn't mess with the pit options at all, as Odin said not too. I was following the OP in the forum that the first guy mentioned. That's where I got the files originally. I turned on allow oem unlock, rebooted in developer mode, launched Odin, plugged in phone, then loaded the ENG_Boot.tar in the AP slot. When I start, it goes through the list in my OP.

One thing I noticed is that I'm not on Verizon's v_8 bootloader anymore. I'm on their most recent one, v_10. I think that may be why I can't flash the ENG_BOOT. I have come to the conclusion through my research there is, at this time, no way to unlock the v_10 bootloader

No problem !
You need to unzip those files and put them in their corresponding slot
Ap with Ap
BPwith bp
Csc with CSC

I downloaded WinZip and then when I unzipped AP_SM_G930_OREO_ENG_BOOT.tar all I get out of is a Disk Image File named boot

When you extract it should look like this
Also extract it within that file

Idk, I'm about to just give up. I tried 7zip thinking maybe it was just WinZip having an issue. I extracted and got the same thing. I opened the archive to see what's in it, and this is all that's inside of the .tar file.
