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.

Yeah, For me, i dont flash no-verity-opt-encrypt-6.0.zip or any its version, just flash magisk.. If i flash it, the phone cant boot to system, it will loop to TWRP :D

Could you explain what you did in full? I'm looking to root my phone for the first time and i have no idea what half of this stuff means:confused:
I was going to follow this post but i checked recent replies and you agreed the method wasn't working so id just like an explanation in full from the start if that's not too much to ask. :D

I'm so happy for successfully rooted my phone, after 'bricking' it few times. Thank you, Bro!
By the way, I write this not only to say that but to give a small tip.
If you don't have a SD card, use ADB Sideload (Enable it first through TWRP -> Advanced -> ADB Sideload, then run it on the computer).
I'm not sure whether this tip was covered in previous post, but I would give it anyway.

Just do follow #1.
Flashed rom
Flashed twrp
Boot to twrp to Formatted data
Rebooted to recovery again
Here i Installed Magisk
Then Installed no-verity-opt-encrypt-6.0.zip, if thephone cant boot to system, i repeat again and dont flash no-verity-opt-encrypt (someone flash to remove no-verity-opt-encrypt but when do it, the phone still cant boot to system, so i'm repeat from scratch)

Hello! So I successfully rooted my phone with this method (thank you!) But soon after that I tried to boot into recovery mode, in which I was met with "FRP LOCK" message and now I have to redo the whole process again. Is there an extra step as in turning off "OEM Unlocking" ?

Its in developer option where you can turn it off or on but if your rooting you need to turn it on.

I must check OEM unlock option in development settings before root stock rom or not?

Yes! :)

[/COLOR]I got a question why do you need the official stock room to root? I have seen another version where it was rooted with out uploading the official stock rom to odin.

And also does the method provided by the OP works with the latest android 8? As others have issues following this method?

Will encryption be removed once rooted?

Can anyone confirm that this method works too?

Is there any way this can be done without formatting or losing data?

Only reason im rooting is to back up chat log for an app that cant be backed up without rooting (dev blocks adb backup)

    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 .

    attachment.php









    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 .





    attachment.php







    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 )





    attachment.php
    attachment.php









    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 . ;)

    does it work for sm g935s (8.0)

    yes , it works . you just need to download last version of TWRP recovery for your device from here :

    Thank you, this is a great guide! Worth to mention that TWRP is flashed as AP in Odin, though.
