Secure Folder for S7

I wonder how can i get work secure folder apk from rooted phone any help here
You can download it from sammobile, it's official for s7 just not yet released in store.
What's the advantage of Secure Folder over My Knox that's already available? Aren't they essentially the same thing?

After ROOT, brush back to the stock ROM and use the S health method.
1-Delete S-Health App
2-Install the old version 4 of the S-Health application
com.sec.android.app.shealth_4.8.1.0025-4810025.apk
3-Open the application and complete the setup
4-to the store to update the S-Health app
my english is bad ,i use google translation
Your knox has been tripped you may never use those function in normal circumstances, only thing you can do is s-health the person above me explains which version but secure folder is gone. Only solution is solder the e-fuse there where somewhere diagrams or change motherboard. There was an application or a method that claims to reset the knox to 0x0 even if the e-fuse is blown but i didn't see any real confirmation that it's real.
SOLUTION
the issue was, the firmware was not properly installed, i downloaded the official roms from sammobile then install it using odin, after that it's perfectly working even now it is automatically updated to android pie and everything is working fine, the bit is not trip
it happens when you don't add up all the required files in odin at the time of installation, so some official apps like secure folder and samsung health does not work.
thanks everyone for the help.

Adding apps to system

I'm quite new to using a phone without root, so is there a possibilty to add apks to system without rooting?
I tried ADBFastbootTools but it seems like it won't add anything. No apk and also no new folder.

System partition is write protected. Not only Root is needed, you need a systemlees system like Magisk for example to not break dm-verify. Another option should be a rooted phone with dm-verify disabled.
In both cases, you will need a unlocked bootloader and root

Question Secure Folder/ App lock alternative

Rooted therefore lost Secure Folder.
Is there any way to get the Secure Folder working again whilst rooted? (I think some custom ROMs manage to do this...?)
Or is there a (preferably System level) reliable App lock alternative?

No. Secure Folder is tied to Knox. Rooting breaks Knox. Even if you go back to stock, it still won't work.
I understand about root breaking Knox.
But I've seen previous Samsung posts about getting Secure Folder to work with build prop editor mod/ Magisk fix module/ custom ROMs with working Secure Folder etc.
So just wondering if any expert or experienced person on this topic.....
as to having back knox, I think is not posible, but, I recall reading somewhere about hiding the rooted state to make some apps to work
Secure folder is working on both rooted VN and Dr. Ketan's rom. S22U 908E
I've hidden root successfully for relevant banking/ monitoring Apps, which otherwise wouldn't have worked if root not hidden.
Exactly my point, if custom ROMs can make Secure Folder work (Knox is still tripped), then is it possible to port this component over to rooted s22u - to have a working SF?
There is a TWRP group on Telegram for this device. Just look for afaneh92 Magisk modules. Secure folder is working fine on rooted Phone with this magisk module.
