Many thanks for your reply, CurtisMJ.

I have been using Android Pay to buy stuff for quite a few months!

So (I am a hardware/software engineer, though only embedded systems) I reckon that either (1) the app (or some OS API it uses) checks only when a credit card is added etc or (2) the way I did the root (using some old version of Odin) happened to produce a root which is not detected. This is the stuff I have; I don't recall the process

I will no doubt find out in a year's time when the credit card runs out and I have to update it :)
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] peterh337:
As a small data point, yesterday I tried to install one of the rooted-only firewall products and it said it won't run because the phone is NOT rooted.

But Root Checker says it is rooted, and I have full file system access with e.g. Root Explorer.

So, somehow, I have achieved a "partial root" which gives me full access to the file system (so useful stuff like hosts file mods can be done, and one can do the XML edits to re-open SD card for full access) but some other tests still do fail.

It would be very useful if one could replicate this.

Make sure to compile heimdall from source.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] Anal-ogico:
hello guys, it is the first time i've to write here coz i've got so many issues during this procedure (even worst with heimdall=

my spec. are :

android 7.0.1

version base G930FXXU1DRA2

kernel 3.18.14-12365438 dpi@SWHD2401 #1

version build NRD90M.G390FXXU1DRA2

if ya need to know the knox and other stuff, i'll text then!

btw my issues are this, i have followed the instructions step-by-step, odin did not make any errors and I entered in the twrp rec mode..i did not unroot yet coz my sd is busy, but i made i let twrp to modify the system..

bootloop for more than 15min..

so i tried the downgrade of the os to 6.0.1 and downloaded the proper twrp....same trouble...

i've the same f******* trouble if i do that with the root-step bootloop until i can die and same trouble if i've followed the guide to unroot the g930f....same problem...

my question is if im doing it with the wrong (maybe old) versiions between my os and the file i downloaded here...

thank ya in advance!
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] ghostofcain:
What version of TWRP are you flashing.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] coto39:
You need let the phone boot after flashing the stock rom with odin. When you see the configuration wizard you can reboot the phone into Download Mode again and flash TWRP image. Careful, the moment ODIN reboots the phone you need to push volume up+power+home to go into recovery mode. As the data partition os encrypted by the stock system you will not be able to load it after flashing TWRP and your phone will bootloop. So inmmediatly after flashing TWRP you need to go into TWRP and use the "Wipe> Format data" option. Then flash the non-verity-opt and reboot to system. Again let the phone boot until the configuration wizard shows up.

Turn off the phone, go to TWRP recovery and procede to root if you want. Reboot and let the system boot completely.

If you skip steps (especially the first full boot after installing the stock rom with odin) you will end up in a bootlop... it happened a few times to me. Worse case scenario: you end up in a soft-brick state in which neither ODIN will be able to flash the phone, you can recover it but it takes time.

Yes it should, just don't forget to format data and flash the dm-verity.zip from OP to disable encryption, otherwise you can't do backups. You will loose all your data of course.

I had the same issue, here's how I fixed it. Tested with TWRP 3.2.1.1, phone running Android Nougat.

Error: "Verification Failed" when booting, or "Encryption Unsuccessful" when booting, or "Failed to mount /data" in TWRP recovery, or some other similar error message.

Fix: In TWRP recovery, go to "Wipe", select "Data", press "Repair or Change File System", press "Change File System", press "EXT3", and do "Swipe to change". Then repeat the same steps, except this time "Change File System" back to "EXT4" instead of "EXT3".

[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] Droiderat:
I did all of my Nougat upgrades, and my upgrade from Nougat to Oreo, using the following process:

Use TWRP to backup /data to SD card

Use ODIN to install updated ROM (using CSC_home)

Use ODIN to re-install TWRP

Use TWRP to reformat /data partition, and then reinstall /data

Use TWRP to install no-verity-opt-encrypt-6.0.zip

Use TWRP to install Magisk

This worked great until I tried to update my first Oreo ROM [ERD5] with the quickly-released fix [ERE8]. When I went to backup /data with TWRP 3.2.1.1, I found that I couldn't mount /data (TWRP shows the size of /data as 0 bytes). This, of course, means I can't see any of the files there, and can't back it up.

I ran the command "getprop ro.crypto.state" and verified that /data is NOT encrypted. It simply can't be mounted in TWRP.

Yes, I am aware that some have been able to maintain full TWRP functionality by using SuperSU (rather than Magisk), but I am not interested in doing that, as I want to be able to use Google Pay.

Is there a solution other than waiting for a new version of TWRP or, possibly, Magisk (now on version 16.4)?
