[/COLOR]I got a question why do you need the official stock room to root? I have seen another version where it was rooted with out uploading the official stock rom to odin.

And also does the method provided by the OP works with the latest android 8? As others have issues following this method?

Will encryption be removed once rooted?

Can anyone confirm that this method works too?

Is there any way this can be done without formatting or losing data?

Only reason im rooting is to back up chat log for an app that cant be backed up without rooting (dev blocks adb backup)
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] Somar77:
No,it's impossible. You have to format your phone first.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] wsuh:
Is there any non root way to back up app data if developer disables adb backup? Like decompile and edit androidmanifest without losing the app data or something.

Hello everyone and have a good Sunday! I apologize for my English, the result of the translation of Google! Following the guide at the beginning, I made the root and installed the recovery in my S7 edge, without any problem! At the moment I have the rom stock! But there is a very annoying problem and I ask for your help. It always comes out, on the top, on the status bar, the notification "Security Notice, SecurityLogSistem"! Some of you, has managed to resolve, in this regard, removing permanently, this annoying notification?

Thanks in advance!
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] unibombz:
Hello,

The reason some users are having concerns. When your FLASH STOCK ROM , you MUST boot into the ROM after you flash

You have to enable - Developer Options

You have to enable - OEM Unlock

While you're in Developer Options...

Enable - USB Debugging

Then Power off phone

Boot into Download Mode

Flash TWRP

First of all thank you for this Guide, i can also confirm this method works on SM-G935FD XID/Indonesia.

this is my very first time to root using samsung odin and TWRP and it come out as successful.

one thing i noticed is that, Security log agent keep giving me unauthorized access alert, after a quick search i found that you could disable the service called com.samsung.android.securitylogagent, but i haven't check it out, maybe i'll post an update soon.

again, thank you so much for this guide:good:

what does "installing TWRP

using mount

" mean? Is there a way to do this without an SD card?

kinda nonexplanitory term for casuals like me
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] T3mbokx:
Use adb sideload by pc

first install ADB 15 second installer, then connect your phone to the pc with USB. open cmd and in the windows command prompt activate the server by this command: adb start-server

go to TWRP, and activate the adb sideload service

command prompt again

type this command

adb sideload "X/Your Folder/Your Flash.zip"

X is your drive.

hope it helps.

Trouble with S7 TWRP install

Hello, I must be doing something wrong and decided to throw in the towel and ask for help here.

I have a Galaxy S7 (SM-G930T) (Qualcomm) running Oreo 8.0

I seem to be getting stuck where nobody is. I flash the stock ROM just fine, but TWRP will fail everytime.

I have my phone OEM unlocked and enabled USB Debugging as required.

I downloaded the correct TWRP for that type here ( unfortunately until I post 10 times, i will not be able to post the URL but you can search for it in Galaxy S7 (Qualcomm) on the TWRP site )

I reset into download mode every run, then I placed the .tar file in the AP field with no other files in any other slots.I unchecked all tick marks noted in the instructions. I run it and it fails.

I rinse and repeat, this time keeping the tick marks, failed. There was one where I saw holding Vol.Up+Home+Power at the same time as hitting run, still fails.

I have tried the last 3 previous versions of TWRP, rinse and repeat, fails.

I replaced the .tar files with .tar.md5 also downloaded from the link above. This time, any time I place those into the AP field the entire Odin (Latest version btw), Odin becomes unresponsive.

I let it set for around 5-7 minutes for each run of different versions of TWRP's .tar.md5 and am forced to force close the program with Task Manager.

I heard running Odin into compatability mode for Windows XP, 95, 98 might solve the problem but it still freezes.

The only think I find odd is that the size .tar.md5 files for all versions are showing as 1KB while all .tar files show being at least 24.3MB, how is that possible if they are the same file? maybe a compressed version?

on a side note, I factory reset my phone and ran it again, thinking maybe there was a security setting I had that was preventing this.

I re-enabled USB debug and OEM Unlock, ran through this again and still have problems.

I'm sure I'm overlooking something simple, I hope you guys can help.

Let me know what info can aid in getting to the bottom of this and I will do my best to respond,

Didn't work, tried it twice with odin

Didn't work, tried it twice with odin.

I followed every single word in this tutorial and flashed twice the official rom through odin, and nothing worked.

i did even tried with another "remove encryption zip" and didn't work also.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] Scorpionea:
It must work ,u must be very quick when u install twrp recovery via Odin, after twrp is flashed successfully with Odin press and hold power,volume down and home button as soon u see black screen remove your finger from volume down and press volume up and still holding other 2 buttons pressed the whole time, now u should be in twrp
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] Cosp:
Hey Thanks for reply :

My update on this after wasting a whole day on my S7 ^_^ : IDK, What did work for me (after searching the whole xda forums =D ) is after you flash stock through Odin and boot to twrp, flash the encryption disabler zip, reboot to system, boot the system normally, then boot to TWRP and flash Magisk, reboot, and install magisk manager apk if Magisk is not showed.

But, => by flashing that encryption disabler to my rom, my BTU Rom got Changed, the display icons are very small and grouped in one screen, and it showed me some weird things in the Samsung Settings app like a KT Roaming tab and several things got changed !! . it looks like it changed my BTU rom to another CSC, and i didn't appreciated this nor i do know how to solve it either .:confused:
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] Scorpionea:
Remember after u flash stock rom via odin,then when u first boot twrp u must format data via wipe format data type yes.

Then reboot to recovery again via twrp ,then flash encryption disabler and what ever u wanna.

Installing twrp in no way can change your csc code ,u have done something very terrible ,its your own mistake and u make mistakes again .

But anyway flash stock rom again and your csc country and again flash twrp and do my steps not yours ;)

OK, looks like with the latest Oreo build this dosent work? It would be good to know the release date of that build.

I am going to continue to read these threads. Just got a sweet used g935F exynos off eBay and its got Oreo 8.0.0

I really want to root it and find a clean custom ROM with no Samsung crap or Knox

Sounds like this verty thang is new from my s4 and s5 days. pita

Dammit, was really looking forward to rooting my g935f. Hope I still can without bricking it
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] Cosp:
Yeah i was like you few days ago, and yes me too I did find out that things have changed a lot. In order to root your S7 and be happy :

1- Download the galaxy project Rom (on xda)

2- Download and Flash TWRP for model through Odin (Disable auto reboot in odin options)

3- Boot manually the TWRP recovery flash the rom TGP: you can select custom install in the installation like me , and choose what to install.

4- be happy

I did tried +6 roms, I stick with the galaxy project
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] ctbale:
Sound good, but sounds too EZ.

I have an October 2018 release of Oreo.

So I dont have to use No Verity or Magisk ??

I found the Galaxy Project thread, looks good. I will do some reading and report back.

Thanks!!!!!!!!
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] Cosp:
Sure ;) Yes do some extensive Readings and research because things got changed with KNOX. and backup your EFS and everything before doing anything, just in case (i don't know what might happen :fingers-crossed: ) ...

For me : - First i flashed stock rom through odin (in odin remove auto reboot)

after odin finishes flashing stock rom keep holding home + volume down + power button until it reboots in download mode again, then i flashed TWRP through Odin (in odin remove auto reboot)

and boot the phone manually into TWRP (by holding home + volume up + power button) ; and there i have TWRP recovery installed. :angel:

in TWRP wipe "data" in TWRP and performe a full wipe (wipe everything in TWRP except sd card); and flash TGP. TGP installs Magisks for you :highfive:
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] ctbale:
Thanks for your help. Ok, TGP has Magisk, got it. Still wondering about no-verity.

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] mario.a:
Hello to all,

i'm sorry, but i'm very f....up right now.

I postponed to root my s7 SM-G930FD 2 years an wanted to do it now, to get rid of the space consuming bloatware...

unfourtunately the given hints in this thread didn't work for me.

I'am using the latest stock-rom (march 2019)

1. flashing twrp (ltehero 3.2.3.0 ) worked fine

2. rebooting to recovery without any problems

3. wiping date worked well

4. rebooting to recovery without any problems again

5. ?? wondering about the necessary decision "allow or deny modifications to the system partition" when entering twrp (in further actions, i used both ways), but can somebody tell, which way is required?

6a. flashing "no-verity-op" was displayed as "done" and "successful", then navigating back in twrp and flashing "magisk 18.1", also displayed as "done" and "successful" (i didn't use the mechanism to select both zip-files and letting them to be flashed in one sequence by twrp)

6b. due to some hints, that there might be problems with current stock-rom-versions, i found this post and tried this alternatively to step 6a, including the flashing of magist 18.1. Here also no errors were displayed, "done" and "successful"

7. BUT, after rebooting the system and installing "root checker", root was displayed as not available. "Root access is not properly installed on this device"

i can't find any "magisk" on the phone

What were my mistakes?

Can you help me solving this issue?

One thing, i noticed, but am not sure about if it is relevant, was, that when rebooting to recovery mode after step 6 the question 5 is not displayed. But when entering the recovery mode after step 7, it reappears, each time.

BTW: i tried to backup my data prior to this action with samsung smartswitch to my pc. I restored it once and found out, that no data was backed up nor restored. F.... F..... F......

This wouldn't have happened with root. Are there any suggestions how to backup almost everything without root, next time?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] mario.a:
hey guys,

meanwhile i thought about flashing an earlier oreo Stock ROM.

In Odin i get "Fail" and my Phone shows me the message ""sw rev. check fail (bootloader) ..."

Maybe this way can help me and many others with similar issues.

I'm not sure, if the word "downgrade" is the correct term for this action.

And i have already searched the forum therefore, but only find mayor downgrade issues, which relate to earlier OS-versions and are, imho not comparable to the currently by samsung inventet security mechanisms.

so, i hope for good input from you.

all the best

I suggest, you check out this thread or use google.

if your phone hasn't got the latest patch/firmwareupdate, be happy about it, because this guide does no longer work for current roms. (wath my post above)

I suppose there have been relevant changes by the end of 2018.
