First time trouble rooting an android device. - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers

Hello xda
I'm trying to root my Samsung Galaxy S8+ SM-G955U. I've never rooted a phone before and I seem to be running into trouble. I have download the correct version of Odin and what I believe to be the correct software, although I am a bit fuzzy on how to transfer everything over to my phone. I have developer options and USB debugging turned on. However OEM is not in my developer options and every time I try and connect my phone to my computer I get and error message. Ill attach a few screen shots for reference. I have the latest USB drivers. Can I fix this? Can I still root my S8+?
Thank You

It's been 30 mins, I pull the battery out, try to get in download/recovery mode and nothing will happen. Won't even charge properly or connect to the computer. I've looked at this link but it requires having it connect to a computer.

What the hell happened to my phone and what can I do to fix it? I don't care if the whole thing is factory reset.
Edit: Finally got it to respond to download mode. Now trying to restore it to FC09
Make sure you have a good cable and use the PIT file.

Screen Mirroring is all greyed out

OK Heres my problem and I am wondering what Bright mind here on XDA can help me fix this:
I have a Galaxy S3 (AT&T) and I have stock but rooted Android 4.4.2 with a kernel version of 3.4.0-1514807 and My Screen Mirroring is all greyed out, unable to do anything.
I would like to know how to get this back to working condition again. Please don't suggest Apps. Most of the Screen mirroring apps ive tried are either Ad ridden or they do not work. I just want my regular phone functions to work as intended.
And if it has anything to do with this I no longer have Samsung Knox. It went away when I rooted my device.
Here is a screenshot of what is the problem:

Mi MIX 2 bootloop and can't flash TWRP

Hello everybody,
I've been lurking around here for quite some time now and just registered because I am not getting my phone running anymore.
I used the MIUI rom and wanted to put it back to factory settings.
Unfortunately it's stuck in a bootloop now, it keeps restarting after chosing the language and the country (China only option).
Whenever i want to flash TWRP or OrangeFox, I get the erros from the picture below.
It somehow crashes and I need to close the Powershell Window.
I tried several different USB Ports and USB cables.
Thank you!
