Why does my Galaxy S7 Edge bootloop after ODIN Flash

[Android Central Question]

Recently, I rooted my S7 Edge, after upgrading to an S10. After playing around with some ROMS (BlackDiamond to be precise), and some root hacks, I eventually wanted to go back to stock. So I rushed over to my file drive, where I had saved the backup of the stock firmware from SamMobile. I opened up ODIN, selected the files, and hit start. After about 5 minuets, my phone rebooted, went to the erasing screen, then went to the updating screen. At about 35%, the phone froze, rebooted, and gave me the update screen, followed by the "No Command" screen. It then reboots, and does the same thing over and over again. I re-installed TWRP and intstalled a custom ROM, and that works perfectly fine. I would like to get my phone back to stock though. Anyone know what could be happening.

I thought of that, which is why I re downloaded the files, still with no luck.

Did you try factory reset after reflashing?

If you mean booting into the recovery, well I tried. It won't boot to anything. Unless I flash a TWRP. Then it'll boot to that

When you flash the stock files you use all 4 slots?

Something must of got damaged as it won't load the factory recovery only TWRP

Can you load the TWRP recovery with stock firmware?

Yes, I can install and boot into TWRP while in the stock firmware.

You can try downloading stock firmware from another source like XDA Forums , see if you have luck with it , otherwise something had got damaged and probably have to stay with a custom recovery like TWRP with stock firmware.

I've tried looking for a .zip of the stock firmware. I'm trying to flash it on a newer computer with another cable now and will see if that helps (Probably wont)

Yeah I have same feeling, worth a shot , I think root broke something , but if everything works stock firmware and TWRP , stick with it

UPDATE: It didn't work (No surprise there)

I'll just have to stick with a custom ROM. Thanks for all you help

OYA is for the S7 W8 (the Canadian version) - is that what you have? (If the ROM isn't for the variant that the phone actually is, it may not work.)
