I have successfully completed parts 1 & 2. After running the batch file my phone restarts and SuperSU is installed, but root was not successfully achieved. Has this happened to anyone else? Any suggestions to achieve root? Thanks!
Edit: I achieved root using this method and everything is working as I'd like. To fix my previous post I used the "PrinceComsy" version of Odin to flash the "Samsung_G935x_QC_Rooted_BOOT.TAR" file. Also, if anyone else is having trouble with the root.bat, I had to put all root files in the directory adb was installed to. Lastly, the xposed framework in the original post is what is needed to flash via FlashFire. In the original post it says to extract this file to find the file needed to flash and an apk. The apk instead needs to be downloaded from the play store (Xposed Installer), you are only flashing the framework.
Oh and one final thing, after my first attempt, everything was working well until a Service Provider Update saying "your device will restart to configure features supported by new sim card." The only option is to press ok and allow it to reboot. I could use my phone while this notification is active, and I was unable to kill it in any way. When the phone reboots to recovery, the configuration fails with "dm-verity verification failed". I then reboot system or power off and the endless cycle continues. I had to follow this guide again to reflash the unlocked firmware and root it. I then saw once I applied the verizon fixes my phone was again recognized as a model SM-G935V (instead of U) and "download automatic updates" was checked. I unchecked this and am crossing my fingers for everything to continue working as intended. Hope these ramblings are helpful for someone...!
