So i have reset my samsung s9+ to stock bootloader and no root and developer options off however when i load fortnite it's still detecting root, I don't know why this is when i have put the stock bootloader on too
Personally i think it might be knox
Any ideas? Will be very helpful

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.
i have a important Question and though i will my s7 flashing with the btu android 8 firmware and i use samsung pass (login with biometric fingerprint) in different sites
when i flash my phone will blow the knox counter or make samsung pass useless if so how can I prevent this and the whole thing with the oem unlocking together so if I activate oem unlocking the knox counter burns automatically ??? if all went well, then I have in the settings, the option oem unlocking start or can I turn off this option after flashing?
In advance thank you for the quick help
Knox only trips when you flash a recovery like TWRP, it will never change flashing original firmware. if your Knox is already tripped, then go ahead and root your phone, if it's not, then flash Oreo with Odin 3.13 and you should be able to use everything like Samsung pay, health, etc

You do not need OEM unlock for flashing stock
If you flash custom you do need OEM unlock enabled, but DO NOT disable it while you are still running custom or you will brick
Stock = OEM unlock disabled
Custom = OEM unlock enabled

Thanks for the answer it was very helpful I have android 8 in my s7 now the only Stuff is I can not use Save folder that's
Although not bad but I would still like to know why it does not work
Sorry I can't help you in that one, I am rooted, so no access to it, never used either, maybe a factory reset will help, but backup your stuff before doing it

I have been trying for about a month to root and atleast boot this SM-G920V to a rom I dont even care if it's rooted but anytime i try to follow a youtube video exactly it still ends up failing i have used adb to boot to bootloader then turned off phone booted into download mode to bypass the secure download but it still says SECURE CHECK FAIL : (RECOVERY) I don't quite understand why Verizon just has to be so difficult but this may be a dumb question is there anyway to actually switch the model of this phone without just changing that file that displays it to thus switch it to a root compatible version or will changing that actually make the phone compatible I don't know if anyone has any tips as to booting this verizon galaxy s6 nougat 7 to a custom rom or even rooting though I was told that the verizon models are incompatible for unlocking bootloader but I know theres ways of booting to roms without unlocking bootloader though you need root is there anyone that doesnt need root or unlocking bootloader I have also tryed the old ping pong method and that still failed. please let me know if you have any knowledge of any of this thank you in advance
No way for custom rom.
Flash the latest official, install Package Disabler app and get rid of the bloatware.
Then enjoy the phone.
I tryed rooting this Verizon J7V. Apernetey they hate unlocked boot loaders sadly well I used obm whatever that PC flashing app is called. I flashed my rom it seemed like it rooted! Nope failed no brick though. Ah brings me back to my Wii and WiiU and 3DS and XBOX 360 modding days... and Vita too. Well rooting is hard so after doing that on the PC I booted up. I factory rested to fix Google play store error 491, but now I have this as a notification "Unothorized actions have been detected" from "securetyLogAgent" and it says "Secerity notice". It was still there after i tried factory reset. Tryed doing what it said before and after reset. No fix whatsoever, I just want to root and unlock bootloader, kingroot and most 1 click root no PC are no nos I want better battery life, no ads in games, and no bloatware. I don't like ya Verizon, you are as bad as Nintendo nowadays. That app said success but I tryed a bloatware removal app and it said "Root access not granted" something like that, my phones warntey is already up. If there's a way to to root I can try. All I need is a nand backup right to fix? I just wanna be smarter.
The phone is powered by an Exynos 7 SoC, running Android 8.
In phone's Android -> Settings -> Developer options check for OEM Unlock option is present. If not then phone's bootloader can't get unlocked, will say you can't install a Custom Recovery nor a Custom ROM.
BTW: To root a phone's Android phone's bootloader must NOT be unlocked.
Hint:
Add Samsung Galaxy J7 ( Verizon ) to this thread's title so mainly owners of such a phone get addressed.
Greetings My Brothers. I have a huge Problem. Sometimes ago I got a Samsung Galaxy S7 Verizon Model, thought it will be cool to have such a model, just come to think of it; Snapdragon 820 what else did I wanted again. And the phone started running Berserk. apps downloaded and installed from PlayStore don't work at all even WhatsApp does work properly. The phones freezes all the Time, it overheats all the time. So I made a decision. root, install custom recovery and install Custom Rom like lineage OS. I'm accustom to those stuffs like Odin, download mode, etc. I don't have any problem with a phone stock on boot loop, it's something I have been fixing, so I'm Used to It. My SM-G930V security level is High with its latest android version Oreo, the bootloader is locked. tried to unlock it with ADB and Command Prompt. It was a failure. tried to get some help On YouTube. Failed, all the videos I watched was about SM-G930F none of them talked about SM-G930V, I came across SM-G930V bootloader Unlocking, rooting and custom Rom but, it wasn't compatible with my SM-G930V. So let Me ask You Guys this question. Can I really unlock the bootloader, root the phone and Install a custom recovery, and A custom Rom??? If there is a slight chance or possibility of doing so, please Brothers help me out, because I am unable to use the phone to its full potential. Thanks. Michael.
