Root for 8.0 Oreo

[zainbfaisal]

Hello,
I have tried to root multiple times but everytime I flash TWRP and format Data and then restart the data partition keeps getting encrypted again, I am using the official 8.0 Oreo UK version which recently got released, I have tried installing Magisk and Xposed both are installed successfully but with error that /data is not mounted and like I said if I format data to decrypt it and then restart it automatically encrypts it. I also tried flashing Samsung anti root and no opt zips but it also didn't help.

It was released a few days ago, just go with custom or wait for working solution

1 workaround for now :
flash rom via odin /
flash twrp via odin /
flash no_encrypt 6.0, full wipe, reboot to recovery /
flash MoroKernel 1.5 (magisk already included) /
reboot and have fun with no encryptation anymore

No-verity didn't work for me but remove encryption.zip did.

this didn't work for me, it resulted in a bootloop

Sorry for you. check Mount system or data or enable MTP. Internal storage was probably still at 0

I rebooted more than 10times it's ok here

Hi NewbieFTW,

I've followed the steps you've described. (in step 3, I also did format the DATA partition because it was encrypted)
The result is that I'm on stock OREO and I can boot in TWRP.
But whatever I try, after booting OREO the first time, my DATA partition is encrypted again.
So, I have a TWRP as recovery, but only in READ ONLY mode, because it cannot mount an encrypted DATA partition.
This way, I cannot backup or restore my DATA partition.

Can you confirm that your TWRP is not READ ONLY?
And what encryption disabler did you use? (I used no-verity-opt-encrypt-6.0.zip)

Yes, I can confirm that I can do whatever I want on TWRP.
I used a .zip found somewhere on a 8.0 thread. I feel like the no-verity zip doesn't work on some devices as it didn't on mine.
Let me grab the link for you : https://drive.google.com/file/d/1tCLamw9j07bhRgEd6qhymqUxExazy04c/view?usp=sharing
Here you go, try this. It should work now. Try doing the exact same steps as you did before but with this zip instead of no-verity.

Good luck mate

Can anyone confirm that magisk should be installed in twrp before encryption disabler?

 

[NewbieFTW]

Magisk removes the encryption disabler .zip for some reason.

Sounds good dosen´t work.
When you flash Magisk it flashes its own boot or system img and remove encrypt flashes its own, if you flash the magisk itll flash the img but if you then flash encryption disabler it will overwrite the magisk img and magisk will uninstall or if you flash the encrypt and then magisk then you will have magisk but encryption will be enabled.

1. Install official room through Odin
2. Do not reboot!!!!

I'm sorry then, I don't know what to say. It worked for me.

I needed reinstal magisk after boot for root, but worked for me...

When this happend to me, i hit format data and typed yes, when i mount on TWRP i can see my storage again

I can root with patched boot image, but Samsung Healt and Samsung Pay don't works. Anyone?

Samsung Pay will, at the moment, probably never work again because it trips Knox.
For Samsung Health the fix is still the same: install a build.prop editor and change the value of RO.Config.Tima from 1 to 0.

not for me

1. Install official room through Odin

doesn't work for me

Apparently there are 2 kind of users here.
One part did manage to install stock Oreo (BTU? other CSC?) , with root (magisk? superSu?) and a working TWRP (3.2.1?) which is not read-only on our beloved S7 Edge (SM-G935F)
The other part did not manage to setup this particular config.
It would be nice to have a detailed step-by-step guide from scratch by someone who managed to do it, so we can reproduce it.
