Hi . i see too many peoples have problem on rooting Android 8.0 Oreo Stock Rom on Galaxy S7 ( edge ) and they cant get passed from the verification field error ! ok its bcuz they do only 1 step wrong , here i just wanna tell you all the steps 1 by 1 to help you make it work .
ok first , if you wanna have a Rooted stock Oreo Rom , you need to factory reset your device , so backup everything you need then follow the steps :
1- Download Odin 3.13.1 -------- TWRP 3.2.3 Recovery -------- Android 8.0 Oreo Stock Rom -------- Magisk v 17.1 -------- no-verity-opt-encrypt-6.0 .
Copy Magisk v17.1 and no-verity-opt files into your SD card , or you can copy them after you installed TWRP using mount !
2- Go to Odin , and flash the Stock Rom oreo , BUT before you start go to Options and deselect F. reset time and Auto reboot .
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
3- when the Rom flash is done . just hold Power + volume down + home buttons to restart the phone . keep holding the buttons to return Download mode again !
NOTE : you have to reboot to download mode again after flashing Stock Rom . bcuz odin wont install TWRP and will stop on waiting for connection if you do flash TWRP right after flashing rom without reboot ! just after flashing ROM , do a reboot with device buttons and keep holding them to go straight to download mode again . then you can flash TWRP .
4- now go to Odin again and now Flash the TWRP recovery . before you start go to options and deselect F .reset time and Auto reboot .
5- now hold Power + Volume down + Home buttons , when your device screen goes off , fast switch the buttons to Power + Volume up + home to boot into TWRP recovry .
6- now go to Wipe and select Format Data . it will ask you to type yes . type yes and continue . you do this to remove encryption on your phone memory .
NOTE : Just select Format data . DON'T select advanced wipe or swip to factory reset . you have to select Format data and it will ask you to type "yes" . do it and go on .
7- now go to reboot and reboot to TWRP recovery again ! ( you have to reboot to recovery bcuz you cant reach /DATA when you do Format data )
8- now go to install , and install Magisk and no-Verity-opt .
9- now restart your phone normaly and let it boot up and do the first boot settings .
10 - thats it , now you can see Magisk on your apps list and your Stock Rom is rooted .
NOTE : for the guys that already installed Stock oreo Rom , they dont need to flash Rom again , they can skip Step 2 and 3 !
just do all the steps 1 by 1 as i said and it will work 100% . some guys cant make it work bcuz : 1 - they dont do Format Data before installing Magisk and they get "cant mount /data error" and verification field pops up . 2- they do format data after installing magisk !!!! thats crazy bcuz you just clear Magisk when you do format data after installing it .
i hope this guide be helpful for you guys .

Once you have to wipe data and restart to recovery again and then only install new Rom resolves data mount error.
Do thet but still error in twrp
Ist there any way to root without wipeing data?
Patching boot.img with Magisk dont work. I guess because of lz4...
Thank you, this is a great guide! Worth to mention that TWRP is flashed as AP in Odin, though.
Is this working for Galaxy S7 Edge SM-G935F ?
Hey hnegrao,
I've rooted my girlfriends Galaxy S7 Edge SM-G935F successfull with this instruction
@Arona67 thank you very much for sharing this instruction and your effort!
There's a question left: Can I remove Magisk and TWRP after successfully rooting?
I'd like to note that I've only needed the root permissions to change the build.prop file entry ro.config.tima=1 to 0; That S-Health works in spite of increased knox counter.
Best Regards
unfortunately I have a problem with this walkthrough. when I want to upload twrp I have the message: custom binary (recovery) blocked by frp lock. I have the newest soft.

Just follow all the steps and you will be fine.
Hi. Many thanks for this.
I have to recover some data from my phone and for that I need root.
My question is, if I install TWRP, Format data, and then install Magisk, will it format the internal SD card? I mean will I still be able to recover those files or will they be gone? If they will be gone, it defeats the purpose of me rooting the phone.
EDIT: I have a G930W8 (Exynos)

You will lose everything once you format the internal sd, better think twice.
Great post, followed all the instructions and my s7 is now running android 8 fine. One issue I've had, when I try to encrypt the device from the Samsung settings it starts the process off reboots twice and then comes back with a failure message whereby you have to fully reset the phone again as per instructions at top of post. Any way to get encryption to work on this?
Thanks all
Same process does NOT work on the latest Oreo update.
Flashed rom
Flashed twrp
Formatted data
Rebooted to recovery
Installed no-verity-opt-encrypt-6.0.zip
Installed Magisk 17.3 (same result even if Magisk is skipped, tried w/o due to this issue)
Rebooted to system and letting it boot up
Rebooting straight to recovery, and still get unable to mount data due to encryption.
Something in the latest stock kernel seem to be circumventing the no-verity-opt-encrypt zip since it was working on the previous update.
EDIT: Got it working by following this post and using the remove-encryption.zip found in that thread (this post).
Still no idea why no-verity-opt-encrypt-6.0.zip didn't work even without Magisk.
Does it work on S7 Edge 9350 stock ROM (Snapdragon) ?
What is the purpose of flashing o-verity-opt-encrypt-6.0 ? Can someone please clarify. ?

I opened today a thread because my s7 Exy wasn't booting. after few hours of charging it did it... it booted up.
Months ago I installed a bad rom and I lost my imei. I haven't got a backup. The problem now is... that my phone's bricked and I can't restore it with odin, because any action that I do end with the error "unable to mount /efs folder".
I flashed the last twrp recovery and now the problem is that it says that it's unable to mount data and efs folder whenever I try to flash a rom. Right now no rom's booting. I can't flash roms, and I can't unbrick it with odin.
That happened then flashing a custom a rom.....
I'm getting mad, any help will be appreciated

1)According to you if you can successfully boot into download mode then why can't you restore stock firmware using odin? Which type of errors odin showing? Always flash latest stock firmware using odin i.e. if nougat 7.0 is latest for you then flash latest 7.0 or if 6.0.1 is latest then flash it
2)Follow proper odin flashing guide with latest odin,Samsung usb drivers installed on pc and use original Samsung usb to connect your phone into main usb port
3)One more thing have you taken backup of your previous rom which had imei before flashing that specific rom? If not then you did a great mistake..If you have that backup then restore it
4)From twrp>mount>uncheck mount system partition read only (If you are facing can't mount system/data error)

Looks like OP has tried ODIN already
/data is likely encrypted, so it's not surprising that it doesn't mount, but it looks like you may have corrupted your EFS somehow. This is actually really REALLY bad. The EFS is device unique and by design irrecoverable. Previous Samsungs could regenerate it if you wiped it from recovery and then flashed stock with Odin, but AFAIK this hasn't worked since the S5. If you decide to wipe it make sure you dd your existing partition first, but if that doesn't fix it you may need to take it to a service centre and pay for a repair
Always backup the EFS first before flashing ROMs
flashing stock won't fix IMEI. Looks EFS is broken.
Try to find some1 with box.

Hi mate
That is clear , but not his information on what he want to do ( or has done) , format data is only necessary is you want to use the Data partition from within TWRP like flashing a custom rom from there, coping files , or backing-up data ( nandroid) to it otherwise is unnecessary ( if on a stock rom)

agreed. But in order to give access to TWRP he have to format those partitions by TWRP.
for IMEI - he need to find some1 with z3x or similar box, who knows how to fix IMEI properly.

Hi
No really , as long as you dont use the data partition with TWRP is not necessary , check their thread , that step is no longer listed on the OP
1 In your ROM, go to Settings -> About device. Tap 7 times on Build number to enable Developer options.
2 Now go to Settings -> Developer options. (above About device)
You need to enable OEM unlock, otherwise you might end up with boot problems or be unable to flash later on.
3 Extract Odin_3.12.3.zip to your computer.
4 Install Samsung Mobile Phone Drivers for Odin to find your device.
5 Download a .tar image of TWRP for herolte.
6 Reboot your device into Download mode. To do this, select reboot from the power menu and hold the [Volume Down] + v[Home] buttons while your device reboots.
Once you reach the Download mode warning screen, press [Volume Up] to continue.
7 Open Odin and place that TWRP tar file in the [AP] slot and disable Auto-Reboot, then press [Start].
8 Hold [Volume Down] + [Home] + [Power] to get out of Download mode and immediately swap to [Volume Up] when the screen blanks.
If you don't see then TWRP boot splash try again from step 6.
9 At this point, you will reach the screen asking you if you want to allow system modifications.
By swiping right, you will trigger dm-verity, and if you don't follow the next step you will be unable to boot!
If you are going to root your device and follow the rest of these steps, then it is safe to swipe right and enable modifications.
10 If you want to be rooted with SuperSU:
Download the latest SuperSU by Chainfire.
Without exiting TWRP, transfer the SuperSU zip to your device over MTP* and flash it using [Install] in TWRP.
You will need an external SDcard for this method, if you don't have one you will have to use adb sideload to install SuperSU.
11 Go to [Reboot] -> [System].
12 Wait 2-5 minutes for your device to finish setting itself up
As i said in stock ROM , custom roms may vary
Regarding IMEI you are totally right if he does not have a EFS back up
Agreed.
But if you need to use TWRP in any way, like root your device, flash custom ROM (otherwise, why you need TWRP at all - to start with ), then you need to wipe data. Just recently rooted s7 - everything stays the same.

I guess we are a little bit off-topic here........sorry everyone
You can do everything you want with TWRP without formatting the Data Partition as long as you do not use the data partition for it , lets say you want to flash a mod.....you can but you have to place the mode in you external SDcard.....then flash , do a nandroid also possible but to your external SDcard, same applies to root(zip) , place file in the externalSD and flashing it is possible , you can not use the internalSD card with TWRP as long as is encrypted if you decide you want to use the data partition then you have to format, this makes sense if you care for the encryption feature of Samsung in stock firmware
With custom roms it makes no sense to have it encrypted as it does not work and the rom can not read it.
As I SAID I can't flash stock firmware with odin, because of efs folder problem.... I already tried it.
I haven't got a rom installed on my s7 and I can't flash any, it'll not boot.
I gived it to a local shop.... I wait for his reply

Try this guide to repair your efs.
Might be worth looking into re-partitioning here
If you can get into download mode, then there is always hope! Please excuse me if I missed any info, didn't read through the whole thread. Good luck! :good:

@darkalez: Since you have TWRP, you can flash other ROMs without any problem. I guess there are .ZIP files with stock ROM, although that won't reflash the recovery.
Why do you want to flash stock? If it's just to use that ROM, then do so via TWRP. Else you are in loss.
Hi guys,
I made the TWRP from TeamWin official sources for Huawei Nova2 . You can download the img and flash it from fastboot.
Bootloader unlocked required!
Installation:
Unlock bootloader (skip if you have already unlocked it)
Reboot into fastboot mode
Flash using
Code:
HTML:
fastboot flash recovery cofface_pic_al00_recovery_en.img
Reboot
Download:
AndroidFileHost
Bugs:
When device is encrypted you can't see the files into recovery
Let me know if there are others
if u feel that this work has helped u OR u think that the work i put into making this is worthy of donations, then click on the following link for buying me some coffee/beer/etc:fingers-crossed:

email:[email protected]
Unfortunately It is not working!
After flashing your file there is still the Huawei EMUI Bootloader and no TWRP. Bootloader was unlocked before. Fastboot was working fine.
Any idea?
Problem with Google GAPPS
Hi,
Thank you for your tuto and your ROM
I have bought my nova 2 in china.
Do you know how to install GAPPS. I have tried different version (stock, pico,.. ) but it's no use.
Do you know if I have to change the region first ?
Is it ok with your ROM ?
Regards
Perfect
Perfect, thank you!
Not working
Hello,
TWRP ist not working for me, I still have the EMUI bootloader after flash and reboot.
Boot into TWRP Recovery ("fastboot boot cofface_pic_al00_recovery_en.img") is aborted with:
"FAILED (remote: Command not allowed)"
Is there anything I've done wrong?
Thx!

i have got a demo device ( from germany ). Can some one upload his OEM info for a normal device ?
And yeah... it works
Success
Works very well, Thanks !
But ... while playing with it I lost the stock ROM for my Huawei Nova 2.
Since there is no download source available, could anybody share a stock ROM backup so I could restore using Twrp ?
Thanks !
My Nova 2 (PIC-LX9C432) automatically encrypts the disk after the first run, and then TWRP is unable to read /data partition nor do nandroid backups as a result. Can someone guide on how to disable encryption or get TWRP to decrypt data.
I read elsewhere that newer versions of TWRP are able to decrypt if you set a password / screen lock.
WARNING!!!! DO NOT FLASH THIS RECOVERY
Ideally cofface should remove this thread as flashing this recovery causes harm and no good. This TWRP port does not detect nor decrypt encryption on the 'data' partition and hence you will not be able to root your device nor take a nandroid backup.
What's worse, you will loose your recovery partition and will not be able to flash any other stock Nova 2 firmware updates.
If you have not yet flashed recovery and have the stock, please do a backup of your stock recovery and upload for the benefit of those who have lost it because of this recovery. See this thread...

After 3+ hrs of trial and error and help from awesome xda member Peter KIKI, I finally managed to root SC-02J (950J) on the latest Oreo firmware.
Also huge thanks to tomatolei for his kernel which made this possible.
Requirements :
1. PC/Laptop
2. Latest Oreo firmware for SC-02J (Updato or Samfirm).
3. Latest TWRP for Snapdragon S8 - Link
4. Modified kernel (9500.img) thanks to @tomatolei
5. Wifi fix (optional) thanks to @Peter KIKI
DL : 9500.img and wifi fix - link
Instructions :
1. Flash the latest Oreo firmware with Odin 3.13.1 . (This will erase your internal storage so backup anything important beforehand)
2. Boot up normally. (Skip Wifi and account setup to speed up the process)
3. Enable Developer Options and then enable OEM unlock.
4. Power off your device, boot in download mode.
5. Open Odin > go to Options tab and untick "Auto Reboot"
6. Flash TWRP (AP slot).
(Warning : After flashing TWRP, boot straight to recovery)
(Make sure to "Allow Modifications" when TWRP boots up)
7. Go to "Wipe" > "Format Data" > type "yes". then go to "Reboot" and select "Recovery"
8. Once in TWRP go to "Install" and Flash the "9500.img" as "boot".
9. Reboot to System, first boot might take longer than usual and reboot couple of times.
(Important : If wifi not working, skip the network and account setup)
10. After initial setup is done, power off and boot to recovery and flash Magisk 16.0 or newer.
(You'll also need to flash "wifi fix.zip" if your wifi isn't working)
* Xposed not tested.

Unless you have an EFS backup, you will not get your Baseband/IMEI back.
but, there are paid services out there that can still fix bb/imei.

I was wondering if you were still developing this device @texhno04?
I've been trying to root it with the latest Android Pie update, but didn't get any luck yet.
Did anyone try and succeed?

sorry to say I moved on from S8. Never buying Snapdragon Samsung ever again they are the absolute worst when it comes to rooting and custom ROMs.
afaik, there isn't any rooting method available for G9500(HK/China Model) on Android Pie yet (HK/China and Japanese models share the same hardware).
keep in touch with @Peter KIKI, he helped me with Oreo root on Japanese S8.
I'm sure there will be a rooting method sooner or later for SCV36/SC-02J with the G9500 Pie kernel.

Yeah, I can't blame you on that.
I'm hoping to get good news with Fusion Kernel's project indeed. I'll sit tight and keep my fingers crossed. :fingers-crossed:
Thank you for your answer and for your previous work with Oreo, any support for this device is always greatly appreciated!
Hi, I've been following this suggestion to root my docomo phone. On step 9, right after I flash 9500.img as a boot, it's been bootlooping for 15 minutes. I am aware you mentioned it will take time and several reboots, but I think this is bootloop :crying:

WETA Kernel
* Unlock bootloader first
* Reboot recovery and reboot system now behave normally after flashing.
* No more patching in Magisk manager at all.
* Be aware, first clean boot, hangs on building cache, hard reboot after waiting about 3min and you'll boot past this
* If simply updating your existing TWRP, v9 upwards, you only need to flash the TWRP.img in recovery. No need to reflash kernel and Magisk.
Process from bone stock
1. Flash TWRP.tar in Odin
2. Reboot directly into TWRP
3. Format data, reboot recovery
4. Flash custom kernel (Android 10, this is optional)
5. Flash encryption disabler.
6. Unmount system, Flash Magisk 20.4
7. Reboot system
Process from existing TWRP
1. Flash TWRP.img to recovery
2. Reboot recovery
3. Flash Kernel zip
4. Unmount system and Flash Magisk zip
5. Reboot system

WooHoo!..and THANKS! and WooHoo!
If anyone tries flashing this on the LTE device let me know if it works out fine, including booting into system and checking WiFi and everything works.
Go stuck at file analysis in Odin with my T865. Tried to download the TWRP.tar many times still got the same problem. Thanks anyway.

Ok I'll check the tar file later. You can try since you are already rooted, pulling the recovery.IMG out if the tar, and using dd to flash it in an terminal emulator if you're Keen.
Or create another recovery.tar using 7zip to flash in Odin.
It may be checking the device number and denying it

Try this, it's recovery only, you will need to be pre rooted

https://nextcloud.justbeca.us/s/tDaTRQ5B5bkLpwB
Try this, you will need to be pre rooted, this tar doesn't include the boot.img or nulled vbmeta.img.
And I used a different tool to package the tar

The whole time holding onto the vol up and bix button? If so I may need to supply a different kernel for the t865

Did it boot to a rooted system or stock?
If you could go into the telegram thread and we can chat about it in there, id like to get this sorted out for other users
Finally, I could boot into TWRP after using dd to flash it in an terminal emulator. After that I flash the encryption disabler and format data then I try to reboot into TWRP again but it did not. In stead it's booting in to the system now. Still stuck in Samsung logo now.

The tablet is running fine now. Magisk is working right after the tablet booted. But it just can't boot into TWRP. Tried to reboot to recovery from Magisk and manually still not working. Seems to stuck about a minute or 2 at this screen everytime I reboot or try to boot into TWRP then it just boot straight to the system.

You can't boot to recovery from magisk. It won't work.
You need to manually reboot to recovery.
Hold down vol up and bix button until the splash screen, then let go and reapply the buttons again quickly, while the red writing is present. Keep holding them. That is how I get to recovery.
But they're may be more going on seeing as though you got a t865

Seems like that tar file was screwed up somehow. It wouldnt flash formme either, I've repackaged it and now it does. And I boot into recovery no issues.
Are you still having trouble getting into recovery?

I don't think so if possible to use twrp in ota update, but you can use twrp for flashing recovery rom ( stock recovery rom)

I don't know what are the exact criteria for successful OTA update from a vague idea I think it check whether there is original boot and recovery image otherwise says no
in that case would flashing this DM verify no encrypt module remove this checking and after installing this we should be able to to install periodic OTA updates
or as a long-term procedure every time I have to install OTA I have to restore original boot and recovery or should I just restore recovery
as follow up - I could install OTA by restoring stock r'y . There isn't a need to restore boot. You can keep it this way or else if TWRP is restored the same proc ought to repeat before the next OTA.
I am attaching stock boot and recoveries here in case they could be of use.

Update : it never worked. I thought it did but that update notice sprung and it wanted to do it all over again. I restored stock recovery. No Luck OTA's keep failing. I then restored stock Boot after removing magisk . Still got veriification error. My BL is unlocked. What does it take to get my OTA zip file working.... do I flash dm verify force encrypt . Why does it refuse. Should BL be locked as well anyone have luck push OTA update after rooting IN 1
Do you have kernel source code
