Flash this official firmware through Odin if you have Exynos S8, and you'll get OEM unlock option.
I also manually updated to Oreo through this firmware and not through OTA. Also, note that flashing this will not wipe any of your existing data and also will not trip your knox

Flashed official XEO for Poland and still OEM unlock isnt there :/
Does the Oreo update affect the the locked bootloader on the Snapdragon version? I thought it was impossible to install TWRP on the Snapdragon versions of the S8?
I have installed but now shows me 0 mb on inernal sotorage , ive tried to change data but nothing cant mount sdcard

Try use AQK7 ( 4 file firmware + re-partition PIT)
In my case I 100% success returned form CRAP to AQK7.
OEM unlock is in dev settings, no RMM and FRP.
Powodzenia ^_^
I'm guessing this is not for the US snapdragon variant.
There's no way this can work on US Snapdragon, we don't have a OEM unlock option here.
Tired of the US locked bootloaders.
Next time I'll get a Exynos GS9 for sure.

TWRP trips Knox if I'm not mistaken.
i did this guide and everything is went good but when i restarted the phone it went to a softbrick and i had to do a restore...
the error was something on the original binary
to have the OEM option, will I have to go back to crap?
I have just tried this method and booted into TWRP but the screen was totally unresponsive, rebooted and still the same. I had to go back to Oreo.
How do I get around this problem?

Wipe / format data - " yes"
Hello i recently bought a galaxy S7 SM-G930W8 (Canadian / BELL Mobility) and its veen updated to the latest it can which is android 8.0 (oreo) and id really like to root it without havibg to change my stock rom actually id just be glad to get it rooted also the security patch is up2date as of july 1st 2018
The W8 is an exynos model so the bootloader should be unlocked, flash twrp through odin, do a factory reset, reboot to recovery from TWRP itself, flash no-dm-verity zip which should be in your memory card, if you don't have one use mtp in TWRP and copy it to the phone, then install magisk zip and you should be good to go. you can find those two zip files in the forum or just a simple good search.
Did you have any luck rooting the SM-G930W8 on 8.0? I just acquired the Canadian S7 and I'd like to root it, but I know it's different from the American S7's, and all I can find is how to root the Canadian S7 with Nougat.

It doesn't matter which carrier it is, what matters most is the chip and the bootloader, the Canadian variant uses the Exynos soc so the steps are the same just like the international model. Start by unlocking the bootloader and installing a custom recovery, download TWRP for herolte, on your phone enable developer options, then make sure OEM unlock is checked, turn off your phone and boot into Odin, then flash the TWRP image, make sure to uncheck reboot after flash in Odin. Once flashing is done, manually reboot your phone and make sure to enter the recovery mode, do a normal factory reset, the one that asks you to write YES to confirm, then reboot to recovery again, plug your phone to the computer and copy the latest magisk zip then flash it, and that should be it basically.

I thought the Canadian variant with Exynos already had an unlocked bootloader? There are already instructions on how to root my exact model, but the assumption is 7.0.
I have rooted other phones before, and sometimes the requirement for a version of Android before rooting is very specific. I have no idea where to start to even verify whether the bootloader is truly unlocked, whether or not I can proceed with rooting despite having a different Android version (in my case, 8.0, not 7.0), etc.

Sorry there, I guess the correct description would be tripping knox rather than unlocking the bootloader, since you're already familiar with the process then I can tell you its totally the same, nougat and oreo aren't different enough for anything to change, allow OEM unlock, install twrp, do a data wipe, reboot to recovery again, install magisk zip and you're good to go. You might need to flash the dm verity bypass before magisk, that's another zip you can download as well.
Must Have An Unlocked Bootloader To Do This!
This An odin tar file I have created to flash along with stock odin firmware to automatically install TWRP recovery along with Disable VBMETA image. The tar file will also automatically install magisk root along with remove force encryption and patch bluetooth library file. It will also patch safetynet. No flashing of zips is required

Unfortunately this will wipe data this is beyond my control as it seems to be a side affect of mixing firmware it causes data not to mount and therefore my AIO will format it. This is full firmware with USERDATA_AIO. This will put you on U firmware. Before flashing I recommend removing your google account and make sure in download mode you are not frp locked
If above USERDATA_AIO_G970_CANARY_FORCE_WIPE_2022_01_17.tar.md5 is newer than the one in this zip use the newer one from above

Thank You Very Much for this Guide! So Far All is Good!!!
I update the tar file so now only one is needed for android 10 or 11 and I and I changed the safenet fix to the latest one that patches your own keystore file thanks @afaneh92 for the module and have it install as a magisk module so it doesnt affect system files that way if a bettery way comes out you can simply update the module and not have too worry about replacing system files. If you have used my old tar to root your phone I suggest reflashing stock firmware in odin along with my new tar file and this will remove the safetynet files from system and too the module

Dann benutze bitte Google Translate oder den Deepl Translator,
weil auf XDA Englisch geschrieben werden muss (Forum-Regel) und
weil du ansonsten nichts verstehst und beim (recht komplizierten) Rooten dein Handy bricken würdest.
Hast du überhaupt die Snapdragon-Variante? Im deutschsprachigen Raum gibt es egtl. nur die Exynos-Variante und dann bist du in diesem Thread hier total falsch. Schau dann am besten auf android-hilfe.de, die sprechen dort auch Deutsch.

Then please use Google Translate or Deepl Translator,
because on XDA you have to write in English (forum rule) and
because otherwise you won't understand anything and would brick your phone during the (quite complicated) rooting process.
Do you even have the Snapdragon variant? In German-speaking countries Samsung sells only the Exynos variant and then you are totally wrong in this thread. In this case please take a look at android-hilfe.de, a German-speaking forum.

Yes, there's plenty, because it got root 1 1/2 years before the Snapdragon variant and is well supported.
A good place on xda to look for information is this subforum.
Fixed issues where if bluetooth or keystore files are already patched in system by other means then my installer will just skip them instead of failing during flash

Hi,
I'm looking since 3 hours without finding any solution.
I cannot unlock bootloader because my phone is "secured by knox". This was my company smartphone and they gave it to me. However when i try to tap the "version number" to unlock OEM. i get message saying "Action not authorized" by an app called "Device Policy".
Anyone knows how i can bypass this ?
hello here, i'm using your modules and can i directly flash the new version of magisk in the rec now .will i need do some extra operations?

if you got the phone via a network you're paying your monthly bills with money, if you bought the phone outright you paid for it with money. unless you've bought a stolen or lost phone for very very cheap you have money.
Can you pleaseeeee make it for u2????!!!!

Deleted - dumb question...
So why TWRP cannot access external SD card? Back in the day when I had Motorola X Pure Edition unlocked and rooted with TWRP installed I was using my SD card as the backup location. What differs?

the dev doesn't actually have the phone in his hands and google has changed how android works quite a bit under the hood.
Can you elaborate on how the safetynet is fixed
does it use the kdrag0n module
is this working on SM-G781W ?

There are two ways to do this, and the key is never flash stock AP without patching vbmeta at the same time. Never let the stock vbmeta.img flash to your device. The stock vbmeta.img in stock AP will enable Android verified boot and will lead to factory reset in the next boot.
Firmware can be downloaded here:

First and preferred method:1. Download firmware, extract it and move AP file to rooted tablet.
2. Use magisk to patch the whole AP file and magisk will patch both boot.img and vbmeta.img.
3. Move that patched Magisk.tar AP back to your computer.
4 Using Odin, flash magisk patched AP in AP slot and BL in BL slot and HOME_CSC in CSC slot.
Second method:1. Download vbmeta_disabled.tar from https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...root-s20-series-and-upgrade-firmware.4079353/
2. Patch boot.img using magisk: extract boot.img.lz4 from stock AP, compress it to a tar file and patch the tar file in magisk.
3. Uncheck auto reboot in ODIN, flash stock AP in AP, BL in BL and HOME_CSC in CSC slot, and vbmeta_disabled.tar in USERDATA slot at the same time. With the vbmeta_disabled.tar, Android verified boot remains disabled. Remember to flash them at the same time in ODIN so that Android verified boot remains disabled. If you flash vbmeta_disabled.tar after flashing stock AP, Android verified boot will be re-enabled and it will ask for factory reset.
4. Check auto reboot in ODIN, flash magisk patched boot.img in AP slot.
Is the guide still up to date?

The first method works but step one should read un-rooted and not rooted.
No. This is supposed to say rooted. Read the title of the post. This is for those who want to keep root access and update the system without wiping data.

But once you flash to the latest stock, it is no longer rooted. The whole point of using Magisk to mod the AP file, is to get root back.

Are you trolling? The entire point of the guide is to MAINTAIN root access and update the system. That is why the stock AP is moved to magisk and patched. As the instructions state, if the STOCK ap is flashed it will remove root / wipe the system. Hence why we need to patch it with magisk BEFORE it is flashed to the device.

No, I'm not trolling. It was my honest belief that you needed to have the same version ROM already installed BEFORE you used Magisk. I have always done that and backed up everything before flashing.
edit: And why would flashing stock wipe anything more the first time, if you flash HOME in CSC? Your method does save having to flash twice but it seems both should work.
