Samsung Galaxy S7 dm verity verification failed

I have discussed the Galaxy S7 dm verity verification failed error solution in this guide. This solution can also be used for Samsung Galaxy S6, S9, Note 10, or any other Galaxy series phone.

Samsung Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge are considered the finest phones of 2016, even after releasing so many phones with better specs and operating systems. People don’t want to change their S7 and move to S8. They are entirely content with it. Galaxy S7 is the best in almost everything. From looks to hardware and specs. Everything is optimal. It has excellent camera quality and excellent processing power. There are two versions of the Samsung Galaxy S7. The international model is equipped with Samsung’s own Exynos 8890 processor. Meanwhile, the USA model is equipped with Snapdragon 820. Both models have 4 GB of RAM.

Currently, Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 Edge are running on Android Nougat. But soon, they will get an Android Oreo update as Samsung has started a Galaxy Beta program where they are testing Android Oreo to release a bug-free version to their users. Likewise, users of Galaxy S8 can opt for a testing program.

Update: This guide lets you install Android Nougat on your Galaxy S7 or Galaxy S7 Edge.
