Can one replace Odin root with Magisk root?

[peterh337]

I have an Odin rooted S7 and obviously most banking etc apps don't work on it.

The Magisk route offers the ability to hide the root from specified apps. I tried to install Magisk. It is a 2 part thing. The 2nd part installs but the 1st part says something about boot sector is incompatible and would not do it.

Can you provide more details? Model number, and build number. Do you have SuperSU installed?

I do have SuperSU Free v2.82-SR3. Normally I buy Pro versions of anything that actually works Superuser is enabled.

It can be done. You have a exynos device so it wouldn't be hard.

You might find more relevant info online looking to replace SuperSU with Magisk, as opposed to replacing Odin. The Odin utility is what you should be using to flash your device, but its SuperSU that's running on your device as the root management service.
