He would have said something is broken if that were the case. Regardless, it's best to report any bugs along with your setup in this thread so people can help.
Speaking of which, Google Pay reports the device as being modified or rooted.

That’s because beta release are not certified by play store and do not pass part of safetynet check. Most safetynet apps will work though

EDIT2: Ok biiiiig issue, I followed the steps for enter/exit safestrap and in the last step I think I messed because I couldnt boot , and now I can't flash any BL. Already tried with stock roms and full roms but nothing. I saw a weird thing, I make it to boot to recovery and saw that the version is 7.0 and g955usqu5arf1??

Flash the eng bootloader in Odin to get to safestrap and then to get back follow delete cache to the end
This is working beautifully aside from Netflix and Prime video, which I suppose is to be expected.
I'm surprised at how much better it is, even as a beta.

Samsung Pay kept declining for me. How did you get yours working?
Also, for the "system/vendor/lib/liboemcrypto.so" fix, is that also done in safestrap?

This seems to be Samsung. All of you must remember the PIE build is built from Samsung not jrkruse, so any bugs you face on the S8+ are on them. I myself have black snapchat videos similar to the kernel issues I had with early N/O AOSP builds with the S5 and early OREO Beta builds on the S8+ snapdragon variant. To my knowledge and understanding all jrkruse has done is allowed the ability to use safe strap with PIE using Odin/Samfail and the ability to continue to use OTA updates. Am I correct @jrkruse? I'm going to reiterate here and please don't think I'm being rude but come on guys do your research. I've only had this device since February buuuut I have been on XDA longer than most of you and sorry jrkruse longer than you but I'm no dev lol. Jrkruse/partcyborg you definitely are a God send to the carrier locked phone of Samsung and I thank you for your time and effort my man. To anyone wondering I am on the sprint variant ?. I am always here to help, even the noobs and foreigners ?

This is the leaked Oreo for the ATT S7 I removed all ATT stuff and fix volte calling but wificalling does not work at the moment. This is For S7 Only. It has option to choose your carrier csc files
Download:
OREO_G930_CRB9_ALL_CARRIERS_FF_INSTALL.zip
Directions:
Just note that you may end up having to wipe your internal storage so be prepared
You can try coming from your carriers firmware but if it dont work then you will need too be on Verizon Firmware either Nougat stock rooted or one of my Hybrid roms or stang5litre Nougat rom
You must be rooted with Flashfire installed
Download OREO_ALL_CARRIERS_FF_INSTALL_G935.zip and unzip Copy FF_Oreo_System_Image_G930_CRB9.tar To Internal Phone Storage
In Flashfire select add zip choose OREO_ALL_CARRIERS_G930_V2.zip select to mount system when it ask
In Flashfire select add firmware choose FF_Oreo_System_Image_G930_CRB9.tar and select system.img.ext4
Make sure inject superu is not enabled
Click to reboot to download after flash
Add Wipe choose system, data, cache and dalvik and super su images
Flash
In aroma installer choose your carrier
When Phone reboots to recovery use odin and flash BL_OREO_G930_PART_2.tar in BL slot in odin that is provided in folder
You get corrupt storage message and will have to click reset and this will wipe your internal storage
Features:
Custom Boot Animation
Add spam call blocking
Added call recording however there is no record button on call screen but auto record feature works
Added Samsung Cloud support
Added multi user suport
Added option for network speed in status bar
Removed Unneeded files and bloat
Samsung Pay works as does Secure Folder
Safetynet only partially passes this is problem with the build as even installing on stock ATT firmware it still only partially passes
Verzion Volte calling works but WifiCalling does not (other carriers I cannot confirm)
Verizon VVM works
Bugs:
BT call volume will not change Media volume seems too work fine though
Im sure there are more as this is prerelease

I didn't think of that at the time so I just went back to your hybrid rom because my phone was becoming unusable
I just installed this rom going from "stang5litre Edition 5.0 s7 N v1".
At first the Gmail and a game app kept crashing. (They were apps that were installed while on stang5litre Edition 5.0 s7 N v1)
I did a "Wipe data/factory reset" from recovery, updated all the apps from the playstore and now nothing is crashing.
Edit: Spoke too soon... Dune game is crashing after every round.

So did you not wipe with flashfire when installing? And once you wiped basic rom worked fine? I can't control 3rd party apps that's an issue with maker of app. Also are you Verizon?

Instructions For Installing Pie Roms
Please Note This Is Not A Root Method For Oreo Or Pie. As Of Now There Is Still No Root Method For Oreo Or Pie. This Takes Some Patience To InstallS8+ SM-G955U/U1/W Install Instructions And Files
If you didnt upgrade to V8 bootloaders using odin. I recommend flashing full stock firmware with V8 bootloaders even if you are already on V8 bootloader via OTA update. I feel that maybe something in the OTA from V7 bootloaders to V8 may have corrupted a bootloader file and some people have experienced bricks with trying to update to V8 bootloaders from V7 using the below method so I recommend flashing full stock V8 firmware in Odin before trying this method and just understand there has been a risk of bricking device. Full stock can be found on Sammobile or updato or any other service you can find it. You will have to reroot of course. If you Updated to V8 bootloaders using odin method already then no need to do so again

Install zip in safestrap
boot phone back up to system
you will have 2 apps in your apps drawer Host Adblocking and Stock Adblocking
too enable adblocking run the Host Adblocking app it may require rebooting phone to work
too disable adblocking run Stock Adblocking this probably will not require a reboot
what this does is move the system/etc/hosts file to the internal storage of your phone then I symliink the one in the internal storage to the system/etc/host file this way the file can be changed back and forth . If you would wipe data in stock recovery however you would need to reflash the zip in safetrap as a data wipe would delete the host file since it is now located on internal storage

just to verify, battery is 80 or 100?
Hey jr I tried the stock version 3 times and could not get it to boot up, would get a boot loop on the Samsung galaxy s8+ screen. I think my trouble is between steps 3 and 4. It never booted into recovery there. just odined back to stock will give it another go later. Thanks for the work. Had to use the modified odin to get back to stock also.

Please read carefully it says you must manually reboot it to recovery. Almost every odin part flash will require either a manual reboot to recovery or download mode. Getting the phone to reboot to recovery betwen part 3 and 4 is the most important step in the process the phone must reboot to recovery here and bootloop in recovery it does this because there is no cache partiton because of nand wipe in part2 so as soon as it bootloops in recovery and at this point you manually reboot back to download mode and flash the csc which contains the cache.img and this is what resets the dmverity causing the phone to allow that modded system image to pass dmverity

im sorry for asking so many questions lol
This is an incredibly noobish question, but how easy is it to revert back to stock after flashing this rom? Any guides anywhere? I've looked around but can't so much as even find the Oreo firmware download for the Verizon model.

I will answer with a question. If your on totally stock rom and you see this really cool boot animation you like and you want it on your phone. Now tell me how you would get this boot animation installed on your totally stock phone? If you are able to explain too me how you would install this then there are no pros too having safestrap
So I would assume that this is a form of recovery then. I asked only because I'm not familiar with safestrap. I've always had clockwork mod, twrp, etc. Either way. Thank you for your time and effort put into this. I will give it a go at a later date.

Safestrap is TWRP recovery its just not the twrp stock recovery replacement you know. It is part of the system so you have to enter it with phone booted up and it does have limitations but zips can be flashed and system files deleted or added and access to data partion and data files
Just added some zips that can be flashed in safestrap on post 2

Works perfect and love having TWRP just for everyone else DO NOT use the 1st link it will download the G935V firmware which will not flash for the S7 flat.
Brother, you might want to check your zips. Your sm_g930_oreo root/unroot zip is missing the BL_ENTER_ENG_RECOVERY_G93*.tar and instead has BL_ENG_BOOTLOADERS_G930?? Also, your S7_G930V Flat Odin Firmware links to the G935V firmware and will not flash obviously to the S7 flat. Kinda important files if you want to use this. I was going to try to unroot and update to the Oct security patch and thank God I checked the required files before starting.
Sorry, stupid question I can't find an answer to. How do I tell what bootloader I am on?

what does post 2 say. If you dont want to be stuck on stock then you are done with updates the firmware in the OP is it that the last firmware that can be rooted
Yeah I know and saw that the 5th character had the 8 so it is a secure bootloader. Trust me, I went back and forth about root and no root. I decided that what little bit I was rooting for wasnt worth the hit I took as far as speed, heat, and battery. So far I am enjoying stock with the Oct security patch. If I get root in the future I may try it but for now I can run my themes and life is good, thanks brother.

If this works your a genius!! I'm going to try it first thing when I get home if no one complains of issues. I have all the stock crI1 Odin files I extracted from verizons recovery utility so no matter what I can fix it. So I cant wait to try this! I will donate if this works.

To Enter TWRP When Rooted
Remember with Nougat TWRP cannot mount data because of encryption so some zips wont work
1. Manually reboot phone to recovery launch Setup.exe in the S7_S7E_ROOT_UNROOT_ADB_TOOLS folder and choose Option(1) Launch TWRP
2. To Exit TWRP simply choose reboot
To Enter TWRP When Unrooted
Remember with Nougat TWRP cannot mount data because of encryption so some zips wont work
1. Put phone in download mode In Odin AP slot flash AP_ROOT_G93***.tar force phone to reboot to recovery. If you let phone boot it will reroot and you will have to run the unroot from the root control app.
2. In recovery launch Setup.exe in the S7_S7E_ROOT_UNROOT_ADB_TOOLS folder and choose Option(1) Launch TWRP.
3. Do whatever you need too do
4. To exit Twrp choose reboot to Download
5. In Odin BL slot choose the BL_G93*_DELETE_CACHE.tar and flash phone will reboot to recovery and say processing update then get an error and strart rebooting recovery
6. Let recovery bootloop at least once thin force phone back to download mode
7. In Odin AP slot flash BL_ENTER_ENG_RECOVERY_G930.tar and flash phone will reboot to recovery with a bunch of red cache errors
8. In recovery choose wipe cache then reboot back to bootloader from recovery
9. In Odin BL slot choose BL_OREO_STOCK_G93*.tar for Oreo or BL_RESET_DM_VERITY_G93*.tar for Nougat and flash
10. This is important as soon as odin is done flashing and phone powers off immediately hold buttons to force phone to recovery
11. When phone reboots to recovery you will get no command error then when phone shows recovery options in black box at very botton it should say Successfully verified. If it says unsuccessful or failed then start at number 5 again. If successful and on oreo you are done.
12. If on Nougat and successful from recovery reboot to bootloader in Odin BL slot flash BL_NOUGAT_STOCK_G93*.tar

If this works your a genius!! I'm going to try it first thing when I get home if no one complains of issues. I have all the stock crI1 Odin files I extracted from verizons recovery utility so no matter what I can fix it. So I cant wait to try this! I will donate if this works.

Don’t get your expectations up it still uses the engboot for root. I just made it easy to unroot so you can use stock boot. Img

Oh okay. I will have to do some reading on Eng Boot. I'm not educated on what that exactly means. I did successfully use your root method and got to play in twrp which was really cool. I really like the adb tools setup. I'm having a hard time with the debloating. I'm trying to find out what files to remove and keep. The system is very slow rooted. I hope I'm not debloating wrong. Sorry I'm semi new at this.
Just be careful what you debloat. What I would do is go into settings/apps and disable anything you think is bloat then see if the phone runs differently for a day or so. Somethings you think wouldn't affect the running of the system do. That way if it does affect something you can go back in and enable it.

I went ahead and used stock files in Odin to flash everything back to normal. I went ahead and tried the disable method with it unrooted of course. It is running so smooth now. On top of it all the Samsung apps work which I like.
I learned yesterday after all day battling the rooted way deleting bloat that you are correct. There are issues from deleting things that you think would never cause issues. My phone instantly would lock up and the battery was draining super fast. It was not worth it.
I will take your advice. Thank you!!

So what kinds of things would I be able to do with root that wouldn't get changed back once I unroot?

That is good advice. I used the 'pm uninstall' method to debloat tons of Samsung stuff. Now I occasionally get random battery drains. Time to factory reset. I should have just left it, because my wife has an international Exynos S7 with nothing debloated, and it runs perfect.

Hey everyone.
I have recently rooted and installed the Pixel experience 9 custom ROM on my S7 edge.
Even though I am confident in Installing ROMs and using TWRP I always like to have a check on the net to see the best way of doing stuff. When checking I found that there were so many different guides that the process became more confusing than it needed to be and it caused issues when I was trying install the ROM.
So I have decided to write out a guide to help everyone in the future.
Note. I am in UK using a Exynos version of the S7 edge. I believe there is a complication with the USA Snapdragon version.
Also this is done at your own risk and I am not responsible for any damage, errors or bricked devices. This will also void the warranty of your device.
What will you need
1. A computer with a SD card slot (if you don't have a slot you can usb a usb adaptor)
2. The latest version of ODIN
3. Your chosen ROM zip
4. Magisk Root zip
5. The correct TWRP file for your S7 or S7 edge
6.The latest version of your Stock firmware (this is in case something goes wrong)
7. A spare micro SD card with SD card adaptor
8. Micro USB cable (charging cable usually does the job)
9. Samsung Device drivers
This guide will be split in to 4 parts with some additional notes at the end.
Part 1- on your PC
Part 2- on your mobile
Part 3- In ODIN mode
Part 4- In TWRP
On your PC
1. Download and install the latest version of ODIN to your PC. https://samsungodin.com/
2. Download and install the Samsung Device drivers.
3. Download the correct TWRP version for your phone. https://twrp.me/
4. Now Download your root file, I used to Magisk root but there is super SU as well. I was told that Super SU is dated compared to Magisk.
https://www.xda-developers.com/magisk-v17-1-android-pie-a-b-support/
5. Now download your chosen ROM. There is lots of different ROMs for the S7 and S7 edge. In my case I decided to go with Pixel experience 9, it's basically a Pixel 3 ROM that runs Android P but it's up to you.
6. Go to Sammobile and download the stock Firmware for your device. The download takes ages so I would just leave this download in the background and continue to the next step (You shouldn't need this file but you will need it something goes wrong)
https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/
7. Put your micro SD into your adaptor then insert into your PC into your SD card slot, then copy the ROM Download and the Root download SD card to the card.
8. Open ODIN and put the TWRP file on the AP section, then uncheck re-partition.
On Your Phone.
1. Before plugging up to the PC there are something to do first. The first thing to do is enter developer options by taping build number 7 times. Then check USB debugging and then check OEM unlocking.
2. Back up your data with Samsung backup and Google backup, both found in the settings.
3. If you already have a SD card inside your phone remove it and put it somewhere safe.
4. Power off your device and Boot in to ODIN mode (volume down, home button and power at the sametime)
In ODIN mode (READ THIS CAREFULLY)
1. BEFORE pressing start on your computer, hold volume up and home button.
2. Now press start on the computer, keep your fingers on the volume button up button and home button. Let the PC and Phone start it's process.
3. The moment the phone screen goes black. Press and hold the power but while keeping your fingers on the volume up and home button.
4. Keep all the buttons held down (volume up, home button and power button) till you see the TWRP screen boot.
In TWRP.
1. Once TWRP boots you will see a screen it will say "swipe to allow modifications" DON'T swipe just press "read only"
2. Press wipe and then press format data. Once the wipe is complete DO NOT swipe to reboot. (You will get yourself stuck in a boot loop) press the TWRP home icon instead.
3. Press Reboot then press recovery this will complete the installation of TWRP (if you press anything else you will get stuck in a boot loop)
4. Allow TWRP to reboot. You will be presented with the "swipe allow modifications" check the do not show again box and swipe.
5. Now insert your Micro SD card with the downloaded files.
6. Press wipe, then press advanced and check cashe and
dalvik cashe. Then Press TWRP Home icon
7. Press install and navigate to SD card. Then press the on the Magisk file and swipe, allow the process to finish and press wipe cache and Dalvik cashe.
8. Press TWRP home icon and press install and navigate back to SD card. Then press your ROM file and swipe again. Once it's finished press wipe cashe and Dalvik cashe. Then swipe to reboot.
9. Re-insert your memo card you were using before. (Not the one with the downloads on, the one with your photos and music and stuff)
10. BOOM your done. Happy days with your new ROM.
Few last things
the ROM I installed had G-apps preinstalled with the ROM, but if your ROM has no G-apps then once you booted, download G-apps from your ROMs browser and flash them with TWRP.
If you get stuck in a boot loop use your stock firmware file and Odin to reinstall the stock firmware and try the whole process again.
This method uses SD card to install the files in TWRP but I believe you can just copy the files via your PC directly to your phone at point 5 in the TWRP part of the guide. I had a spare card so I used a card.
The principal of this guide can be applied to other Samsung devices but newer device then the S7 and S7 edge have more factors to take note of, so some research will be required.
Remember
this is done at your own risk and I am not responsible for any damage, errors or bricked devices. This will also void the warranty of your device.
Hope this guide works well for you.
Is the "no verty" not required to remove encryption?

I don't think this was a big issue with S7E but I know the S8 and onwards have extra encryption protection and 24 hour jailbait locks.
I have rooted my S7E a few times and it's never been an issue for me.
Sometimes the USA Snapdragon versions have extra encryption as well.
Thanks for reply.
In a few days I will try to root.
Fingers Crossed!
( I do have the Exynos S7 Edge G935F)
Also have a newer stock Oreo 8.0.0, unrooted. Thats the part I hear is giving people problems. Something about after flashing TWRP you get a fail to mount the data partition .... or something like that. Something to do with quotas
Heimdell vs odin
I wonder why most people use odin.
The official lineage OS installation instruction recommends heimdell. https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/hero2lte/install
So what is the difference ? Heimdell vs odin

ODIN is made by Samsung developers and Hiemdell is a 3rd party option. They both do the same thing but some say that Heimdell is safer, easier and faster.
Personally I use Odin because I have got used to it and it has never let me down.
I mostly use it to install Stock UK firmware on cheaper Samsung phones that are from overseas.
Hello,
Thanks for your guide but I think there are too much steps, you can do it easier.
You can keep your sd card in the phone to transfer the ROM and magisk.
You can uncheck reboot in Odin instead doing this hard combination of "keep pressing volume up and power + press start on your computer at the same time", or let reboot checked, pressing start and keep pressing power+home+volume up when the screen turning off.
Even if you're in a bootloop, you can go back in recovery by forcing the phone to reboot (power+home+volume down) and when you see the Samsung logo (splahscreen) you keep pressing power+home+volume up until you see twrp screen appears.
Sorry men, it's not against you or your guide but to help beginners, we are always scared when we see a long and complicate list of steps, especially when we don't know.
But it's nice to share the links of the necessary tools to avoid searching everywhere :good:
And don't worry guys, if you do something wrong you can easily restore the stock firmware, it's very hard to brick a Samsung device, just be sure to get the last version of TWRP for the good model and the ROM corresponding to this model too.
I flashed my S7Edge the day I bought it without stress, take your time, read the tutorials and try to understand what you are going to do before doing it and all will be fine.
The simple version (IDK if it's better) is :
1 : Install Samsung drivers
2 : Copy ROM + magisk + noverity zips on sdcard
3 : Go into download mode (Power off phone and keep pressing power+home+volume down until the blue screen and follow the steps on the screen)
4 : Open Odin (last version), connect your phone to the computer, uncheck reboot box and flash TWRP on AP case
5 : Reboot on TWRP (keep pressing power+home+volume down until you see Samsung logo, and directly keep pressing power+home+volume up until you see TWRP screen)
6 : Wipe everything except sdcard + format data + (optionally) flash noverity zip
7 : Flash the ROM
8 : Reboot to system, configure the rom and wait some minutes to let the ROM create dalvik cache.
9 : Reboot normally and wait some minutes.
10 : Reboot to TWRP
11 : Flash Magisk zip (IMPORTANT ! Don't Flash Magisk just after the ROM, first boot on the ROM without root and reboot one time at least before to avoid lags in the system due to dalvik cache ! Steps 7 and 8)
12 : Reboot to system and install magisk manager apk
13 : I'm not superstitious but there is not step 13, you are done, enjoy !
Don't forget, don't flash Magisk directly after the ROM or you'll get a laggy ROM.
Just boot without flashing magisk and let the ROM doing his work in background during some minutes (5 to 10 minutes should be good), and do another reboot.
After that you can flash Magisk.

Cheers for helping my out, my guide has a lot of steps as I literally wrote what I did every step.
I was going for a guide that spelt out every single detail for the less experienced people. I glad to see you approve of my links.
Great guide though, great that both guides can complement each others.

You can use this method for Snapdragon, but Snapdragon phones in certain regions have a built jailbreak that can complicate things. There are ways around it but as I am in a region that sell exynos then i have no experience with the Snapdragon Variant. ?

When you booted into recovery the for the first time after installing it, did you wipe all your data??
Then go into reset and pressed reset to recovery???

sorry but know i lost twrp what am i doing wrong SM-G935F s7edge
is anyone going to help me or u just like the other sites dont reply i need this info asap its only reason i rooted was to use custom rom oh also turmux
Hey
Sorry I have been busy.
Best option is to flash the firmware and start again. Follow the steps of original comment.
Remember when you boot in to TWRP straight after installing it...then wipe all your data then press reboot and reboot back into RECOVERY....once your done this you have completed the install of TWRP.
Once that is all done....wipe your cashe davalik data and then insert your memory card with the custom Rom and Magisk root inside. Install Magisk first...then the ROM.
Once this is done wipe cashe/davalik data once more and reboot, your custom ROM should load up...once the ROM loads install the Magisk root manager and latest update for the root.
Other things to check have you installed the correct TWRP and correct custom Rom for your device.
Also check your customs ROM feed on XDA to see if anyone has issued like this on there as well, if so there might be specific answer to your issue there.
Hope this helps sorry for the delay

Your certainly not wrong there. confusing isn't the word I would choose more like frustrating to hell. I'm new to this and I can't even get out the starting gate lol every time I move one step forward I move two steps back and that's no joke.
I can't read any more tutorials there coming out my ears it's just adding to the confusion I'm completely lost now. can't even pick a custom rom that's a headache for another time I was just wanting to root the phone but was told stock roms are temperamental and custom roms was the way forward. all I keep reading is tutorials telling you to down load files but never a mentioning once if they should be in zip format as downloaded or unpacked? then providing links to other files taht are in apk file! like Magisk. but continue to about the file as though it were a zip! as noob it's frustrating to keep asking for help and every key stroke at least for me anyway you feel like a pain in the rear! so for now I'm throwing in the towel at least I know one thing that works. giving up lol.
