I would be interested to hear if you managed to fix this issue as I have exactly the same problem. I have a UK spec Galaxy S7 Exynos and started experimenting with custom ROMs a year ago. Both Lineage 16 and Pixel Experience 9 worked fine with no issues, however whenever I try to flash an Android 10 based ROM (I've tried both Lineage 17 and Pixel Experience 10) they will not boot and get stuck on the startup screen.

I have 4 Galaxy Exynos phones (G930W8) and ran 16 (Android 9) on all of them with no problems. But when I started to try 17 (Andoid 10), 3 would boot but one did not and still will not boot any 17.1 ROM. Out of curiosity I tried Ivan's 18 on that one phone and it boots fine. All of the 18 ROMs (Android 11) seem to boot with no problems. I have no idea why and did try every 10 ROM that I could find. Maybe a slight hardware variation?
I did update to the latest stock version and even ran the PIT file to reset partitions with no improvement.

My phone was updated to the latest stock version of Samsung's software. I tried the above advice and you are exactly right! Lineage 18 boots with no issues at all as does Lineage 16 - it seems to be certain phones that are not compatible with Android 10 as I am using exactly the same procedure in TWRP when installing the new ROM. Thanks very much for your help, I will see how I get on with Android 11 as this is just a spare phone anyway!
