I want to root my Galaxy S7 SM-G930V, but I can't get to the website to download the software and stuff that is needed to root. When I click on the link to go download it, the browser says it's unsafe to visit the site, or it says the link is no longer working. What is the trick to go retrieve the tools for rooting? Thanks.

Yup bootloader unlocked, oem unlocked, and is debugging on. Used Odin to unlock the bootloader and it went flawlessly. This keeps giving me the same thing.

"Used Odin to unlock the bootloader" ...I didn't understand that part. How did you unlocked the bootloader using Odin?

Are you sure your bootloader is unlocked?
Please confirm whether USB debugging, OEM unlock etc are enabled.

You failed to mention your exact model number :-)
No probs...Is your phone's bootloader still locked, if that so you need to do that first also enable "OEM Unlock" from settings menu.

I think your phone's bootloader is locked. Please unlock it first to root it.

Quoting root#_ .:

I think it's not the good way, I haven't any problems with the official firmware. The problem is recent, I have installed root on this phone on an older version of Android and it's worked fine.

I made an update, I tried to root the phone again, Odin injection works fine, and when the phone restart, he ask me the classic unlock pin, not the sim pin, just the unlock pin, I wrote my code and it don't works. I tried everything, 0000, 1234 etc, but the phone is locked. I think it's a security upadate inclued on a software update who I installed..

I don't understand.

This is an unlikely issue, please try fingerprint and default password. If that didn't work try switching off your phone. After few seconds switch it back on.
If not working please try a factory data reset and wipe the Cache Partition. Please note that the last step will delete all your phone data.
If nothing works please try the below tutorial and try to change the password online.

Hello;

Odin injection works but when the phone retstated, the pin is blocked...

I didn't quite get you. If you are having an FRP lock then please follow the below tutorial to get out of it.
