Hi all I recently needed to use my phone for work and cant have root. I flashed oreo with Odin and my phone is still showing root. Is there something I can do to remove it 110%?

If you lose your phone or it gets stolen;
With rooted phone, a person can install a new rom and use it right?
W/out root, your phone can be bricked permanently if someone tries to factory reset? Via google or samsung account. Also, you can't use odin to install any ROMs?
Or has the security on the newest android phones like s7 now have better security even when a phone is rooted?
I'm on a verge of trying to decide if I should root my S7 or not.

1. He can either way wipe data. Root or no root. The question is can he skip the factory reset protection. There are ways to skip it. But this again has nothing to do with root on the phone.
2. There is currently no permanent brick. There are blog posts which suggests something like this would come in new android versions.
So I have a galaxy s4 active and I rooted a while back with kingroot I know it isn't good but I did it anyway... and unistalled king root completely and supposedly should have removed my root. So I was trying to play Pokemon Go after recently purchasing a pokemon go plus and I can't play and it is because of safetynet even though I have no root. I realized that when I boot up my s4 a screen with a padlock icon and text that says custom appears. I thought this may mean my bootloader is unlocked and that this could trigger me failing safety net. I have been looking every where on how to relock my bootloader. I just want to pass that safety net baloney.

Greetings and welcome to assist. Try installing latest stock firmware for your device with odin or kies/smartswitch
Regards
Sawdoctor
I used smartswitch and I have the latest firmware
So I used smartswitch and it said I had the latest firmware what now?
I tried everything
So smartswitch said my device isn't compatible to initialize (sgh-i537) so I tried using Odin to return to stock but the only firmware avaliable for my device is kitkat and I have lollipop so I cant downgrade can I? Even then I get and error in download mode saying fail secure download: boot or something like that. If I hard reset through the stock recovery will I be able to pass safetynet I even tried triangle away because I thought maybe it had something to do with my system being custom and it needed to be official and triangle away didn't even work I tried rooting again just so I could rename the su files to su1 which people said would let you play that didn't work either I looking how get magisk I couldn't do it. Is there anyway I can fully go back to stock that will work and will allow me to pass safetynet I am not concerned about root currently I don't need it.
Well guys I did every step correctly but when I was just about to root my phone it came that it failed...it said you need to unlock your phone to install a custom os any clue on how to do that? it keeps popping up and it prevents me from rooting my s6 edge
Hello everybody!
I'm new on this stuff of rooting my s8+ Phone (SM-G955FD-Exinos), actually i can get the root, installin magisk and that sfuff, everything is ok, but when i restar my Phone, got a bootloop, the phone says "only official released binaries are allowed to be flashed ", well after that and 2 days with my phone dead, i finally can install the Official rom from Samsung and bring my phone alive, obiously without Root
I was searching about, and that happen because my Firmware is the latest update from samsung, the G955FXXU4CRK1, so its the 4 Binary, i found that i just can get root in the Binary 1 but when i try to flash that binary, Odin Says i have the binary 4 and cant instal the 1 Binary.
So, i just want to know, if i can get root for my firmware and after root the phone i can restart it witouth get a bootloop, of maybe i can Downgrade my Firmware to 7.0 and get fully root there?
Thanks in advance for your time and help.,
Hi everyone, I bought this samsung s7 sm-g930w8 phone and I tried to root the phone but was unsuccessful.
Now I can't enable OEM unlock. It's not grey out but it just unenable.
For some apps it said can't be opened on a rooted device. When I checked with rootchecker it said root access not properly installed.
I already tried to unroot and do a firmware reset but nothing change. Please help. Thanks

So that is a Canadian Exynos device yes?
First thing to try is to make sure your following any guides exactly and are using the correct version of any files. Then try rooting it again. I'm going to assume your using Odin in download mode and it doesn't give you any errors but a "pass" when complete.
Also I've always found it much much easier to install TWRP first then root.
If none of that works,download firmware,flash with Odin and use Home_csc so you don't lose your data.
It would be helpful if you provided your firmware version, cell carrier, locked to carrier? Etc
