I own a Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge (G935A) and from the start I was stumped on how to root it because there were no guides for this model due to its locked bootloader. Eventually I found i guide on how to root it even with the locked bootloader. This method used Odin and after I pressed "start" on Odin my phone started showing the boot screen and then would go black and would do so without end. I would just like to get my phone back to normal or at least be able to turn it on... Any help would be appreciated.

You cannot flash any custom ROM or AP file to your Samsung phone before unlocked the bootloader, or your phone will get brick.
Now what you can do is download and flash a stock ROOM with Odin.
If you can reach the downloading mode, I suggeset you backup your phone first, because flash a new ROM will wipe the data.
It's no difficult to recover data from a brick phone had a locked bootloader, you can try it if need.
