[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] HockeyNinja:
Given that the Oreo S7 update has now been delayed, I've been trying to flash a variety of the custom BTU and Note 8 ported ROMs on my Canadian W8 variant. Every single one I've tried will put me into a bootloop or hang at the S7 logo. I feel like I must be doing something wrong and would appreciate any help if possible.

I'm currently using the Superman Nougat ROM v2.5.0

I've tried the following steps:

Doing a full wipe - Reboot to TWRP - Wiping everything except SD - Reboot to TWRP

Installing each ROM either using AROMA or flashing no-verity-opt-encrypt-6.0.zip then installing the zip for the ROM and/or flashing Magisk-v16.4(1642) and/or SuperSUv2.82

I've chosen both updating the bootloader and modem and NOT updating the bootloader and modem, but no difference. I've tried all different combinations above and I've tried flashing stock via ODIN beforehand.

If anyone has had any success with flashing any of the Oreo ROMS out there on the W8, please let me know which ROM you are using and what steps you've taken to flash successfully. It would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks so much!

You need to update to oreo with odin first

Just flash stock oreo, install twrp.

After that you gonna be able to use oreo rom.

I did flash stock Oreo via Odin (lost root)

I CAN flash TWRP but getting root is where I run into problems. What am I doing wrong? :eek:

I did find that Dev OP from Superman posted an updated TWRP specific for Oreo S7 maybe I should try that one?
