The model is SM-G730V
and it is a verizon galaxy s3 mini (if anymore info is needed i can provide)

I dont know precisely how my phone ended up stuck in bootloop or what i did to cause it, it just shut off one day and when i rebooted it was seemingly done for. Tried for weeks and gave up, ive got a laptop now that im able to flash with, and judging by the fact it won't boot correctly i take it i need to flash new stock firmware entirely. Theres many downloads available for both odin and for the firmware i will need for my device, im hoping someone can point me in the direction of a safe virus free version of both as im not skilled in any of this and am worried about getting viruses. Anything will be appriciated
