I can confirm successful root on Verizon Galaxy S7 on their most recent/latest OTA G930VVRU2APE1 using these steps. Naturally, you use the G930x file @brandon110 (the G935x is for Edge variants).
Question for you....

ODIN sees my phone, drivers are installed, device shows up under CMD adb devices. When I try and run AP file it says failed in ODIN. Is there something IM missing to this process?

Thanks

You may have the wrong version of ODIN. There's a variant made by PrinceComsy that bypasses the hash check to allow the flash.

Specifically, you want this version:
http://d-h.st/gsDA (Odin3 v3.12/PrinceComsy)

You also want ONE of these rooted boot images:
http://d-h.st/o3hm (any Galaxy S7)
http://d-h.st/kDWz (any Galaxy S7 Edge)

Make sure you grab the right version.

He shouldn't need that for the Verizon variant. That was only for AT&T and I was able to flash the boot file with the current version of Odin (not the one posted in that thread.)

I just flashed the most recent PE1 build just so I'm as up to date as possible and re-rooted it again. Very simple root and it seems to work quite well. I have missed root.

Malicious, malicious ODIN link. Shame on you.

I tried this and my phone got stuck on the Verizon logo. Held down the buttons to go back into download mode, and powered off. The blue LED is staying on, even when "powered off". I think a lot of these files are bad. There were adware in them.

Nope, I downloaded and used every file in the link just fine.

I summarized and re-linked everything in my topic: http://forum.xda-developers.com/ver...-to-notes-root-install-xposed-unroot-t3411039

Sounds like you've got something else going on :/
