[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] DirekterPilz:
Hi xda ppl.

I'm trying to fix an S8. Someone gave it to me to fix it. It says SM-G950F on it's back and appereantly got stuck into a Bootloop after some oreo update. When I try to get into the [Hold louder+bixby and power]-menue, it says (In German) it is installing a Systemupdate. After that it says (without any other words) "Error". In guides to fix this it's said this would disappear after a while and let me enter the menue where I can select a factory reset. If I try to enter the [Hold-quieter+bixby+power]-menue I get into a blue screen saying Downloading. I have tried to install what I assume to be a firmware for the S8 with Odin3 v3.12.3. I put the BL,AP,CP and CSC files where they belong, excluding the CSC file. In that case I used the HOME_CSC(something something) file. I got an error. Assuming that it has sth to do with the bootloader I tried to update it with the firmware I downloaded. This got me a fail: <ID:0/006> Complete(Write) operation failed. I managed to install Lineage on my own S7 but it took me about 17h so I'm not a complete noob to this. However this feels wayy over my head.

Is there a simple guide on how to fix this phone? Thank you~
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] spawnlives:
Assuming you are using the correct and latest firmware I would use Odin 3.13.1(latest version) and not 3.12.3. Latest Odin supports new compression format for firmware.

Need help!!

I totally ****ed up! I was trying to Root my phone earlier today and no bueno!! My phone won't boot up at all, whenever i reboot it (Vol D/ Bixby/ Power) all it does is go into recovery, attempts to "update", fails, and reboots into the same cycle.

I am still able to get into Download Mode and have been trying a number of things, please help!!

A bit of info:

Samsung Galaxy S8 Plus

T-Mobile

USA

Was on the latest firmware update via OTA Update

Any guides, links and input is greatly appreciated!!
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] iostoandroidconvert:
You probably need to reflash your firmware through odin and mabe your recovery aswell.Thats how i fixed a boot loop i had awhile ago.Your going to have to find firmware for Oreo somewhere.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] edward6790:
Really? So i'm not completely screwed??

I found a Zip file on SamMobile but the download is taking forever! It is the latest firmware from T-Mobile they say...

As for the Recovery, where do you think i can find that??

Any and all links are appreciated~
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] spawnlives:
The recovery is part of the firmware you are downloading.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] edward6790:
Got it, thanks!

I've tried downloading the Stock Firmware and while flashing it via Odin 3.13.1 It fails! :(

It just hangs there for a bit when it says "Setup Connection" and then "Complete (Write) Operation Failed/ all threads completed. succeed 0/ fail 1)

What am i doing wrong here? Could it be i have the wrong file? Any links to the right ones?

Any and all help would be greatly appreciated!

How are you trying to flash firmware also have you:

1. Have you installed latest Samsung USB drivers on your PC

https://samsungusbdriver.com/

Or install smart switch

2. Is your phone in download/Odin mode

Power + volume down + bixby buttons
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] edward6790:
Hi good morning and thank you for taking your time to help me out

I do have Samsung Drivers installed as well as Smart Switch/ Kies

I have been trying this on two versions of Odin (Odint 3.13.1 and Prince's also) and i do have the phone in Download mode.

This is the link i followed trying to get Root

https://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s8+/development/root-g955u-g955u1-snapdragon-sampwnd-t3658911

and at this point i've downloaded several other Stock Firmware files (from T-Mo/ ATT) trying to get this thing to work but have had 0 success.

Could it be i have the wrong files? Idk, any links would be greatly appreciated so that were' on the same page for the appropiate download.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] iostoandroidconvert:
Did you try recovery mode after flashing? You just need to factory reset and clear your cache.Mabe you used a firmware for the wrong model.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] edward6790:
i did actually but the problem with that is that it gets stuck in a bootloop

it'll first load and say updating system or something along those lines followed by an android that seems to be tilted a bit with an exclamation mark above its head.... now normally right after you can go into wiping cache/ system/ etc but as soon as that second screen appears it starts all over again. As in it says updating system ...
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] spawnlives:
As far as I know you can not root the Snapdragon variant if running on Oreo only on nougat.

Do not run Odin and Kies/smart switch at the same time they don't play nice with each other.

What does it say in download mode and also the firmware you are trying to flash also a screen shot of Odin would help as well.

Also are you using the right USB lead and plugged into a USB 2 port on your PC. Probably the easiest way to check if it is reading is to open up file explorer on your PC to see if it sees the phone.

Run Odin as administrator on your PC as well.

You could also try the emergency recovery option in smart switch as well. I'm going to assume you have extracted the files from the firmware you have downloaded and put them in the proper slots in Odin as well.(AP,BL,CP,CSC)

Partitioning issue

Hi Guys,

I have quite a tough problem with my s8+ that no amount of googling seems to help with. I was having trouble with "Failed to mount '/efs' (Invalid argument)" and the root cause seems to be that the mmcblk0p3 that it is looking for has disappeared. I have tried flashing stock and I've had a poke around but to no avail.

If I use fdisk to print my partition the results do not look promising.

Disk /dev/block/mmcblk0: 196.8GB, 196865949696 bytes

4 heads, 16 sectors/track, 6007872 cylinders

Units = cylinders of 64 * 512 = 32768 bytes

Device Boot Start End Blocks ID System

/dev/block/mmcblk0p1 1 500000 15999992 5 extended

/dev/block/mmcblk0p2 500001 1000000 16000000 83 Linux

/dev/block/mmcblk0p3 1000001 15000000 16000000 83 Linux

Can anyone point me in the right direction to fix this mess?

Thanks

edit: I fixed this by pushing fdisk to the phone and rewriting the partition tables for SYSTEM and EFS.

Hi. I was trying to install twrp and accidentally skipped the format step. After that entered on a boot loop with message "only official released binaries are allowed to be flashed". Tried to flash the stock firmware using Odin 3.12 and it always end up stuck on the step NAND Write Start. Saw some threads on that but nothing seems to help. Any suggestions?

Thank you very much!

Please disregard. I did find a working solution. For some reason odin 3.12 wasn't working. I had to download the proper ROM version + version 3.13 Odin, everything went smoothly.

Hi I'm new here and have spent some time looking for ROMs as I have just rooted my phone. I was told to look at these three ROMs

Hello, here are the stock firmwares. Free download will last about 4h..

https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/galaxy-s8/SM-G950F/

My Problem:

I unrooted my S8 yesterday by installing the latest stock firmware. One reason was, that Netflix didn't play any video on the device.

Now I can't even install Netflix from the Playstore due to incompatibility.

I downloaded the APK directliy from the Netflix help page, but If i want to start the app it says the App is not compatible to my device.

Is that because of the broken knox? Is there any workaround?

Any help appreciated, i dont want to buy a new phone because of one app.

Hi mate

you have a G9555U , which carrier?

Just a few questions , I see you have a XAA csc code which is from a G955U1 firmware (USA Unbranded)

Then i See also the XAA csc which is from a G955W firmware (Canada Unbranded)

I would say is imposible to get a OTA like that.....two different firmware mix together and may be the cause of your other problems also

I joined mainly because my Samsung Galaxy S8+ SM-G955F (un-rooted) started to behave very strangely early this year.

Short story is that my Samsung account got hacked and the perp was then able to control my phone remotely. It was incredible watching my phone do as it pleased and all I could do was sit back and watch. Everything I tried it seemed that this person was either one step ahead or could somehow slow

A few sensors suddenly stopped working

Hello! I already posted but I feel it's better to post on this thread.

I got an SM-G955FD (XSG United Arab Emirates variant). Unrooted and manually installed OneUI about 4 weeks ago.

I noticed that my gyroscope sensor wasn't working after youtube videos didn't seem to rotate. I tried other apps that included this feature such as Lift to Wake, the compass and a studying app that involves flipping your phone over, but still, nothing worked.

I received a call and the screen didn't turn off when I put it up to my ear, so the proximity sensor stopped too. The GPS stopped too after trying to navigate offline.

So far I tried the following:

I ensured that Auto-Rotate was enabled.

Force stopped all Bixby services (since that was the only thing I installed during that time-frame)

Rebooted the phone into Safe mode, removed recent apps

Wiped Cache partition

Factory Reset.

I'm attempting to reinstall firmware, it's in the download process. Will update you once finished.

Opening the compass from the edge screen gives me a ---. a screenshot is attached. It seems as if there's no communication with the gyroscope, most probably the 3 senors.

It was working just fine in the morning, the only thing I downloaded was the Bixby Voice Framework. I tried force stopping all Bixby services but the same result.

Gave it a few taps and shakes from all sides in case it was a hardware problem, I didn't drop it nor did it receive any blow or any of the sort, possibly a drop of milk after having breakfast?

Any help is greatly appreciated, Thanks! :D

Hi, so, just picked up a Galaxy S8+, currently running Oreo, but with latest Bootloader. Uk, Unlocked Handset. Been a long time since i had samsung, been on Iphone for a few years, doing some reading i see Knox is gonna be tripped if i root and theres no way to avoid that, well thats fine, i dont have warranty anyway as phone was 2nd hand. I am however confused, after multiple posts ive read, of what the simplest and easiest way is to root this device and get TWRP so i can then flash Custom roms, mods etc etc, so if anyone can point me to the correct stick or post id appreciate that, im particularly looking for the easiest way and getting Magisk on my device. Also, curious if anyone has any feedback from experience, of what custom rom gives best battery life, youve all heard that question before im sure, and i know they all have pros n cons, but just one stable rom with great batt life would be awesome. Thanks in advance guys, im particularly interested in oreo as it seems i cant drop down to Nougat on latest BL.

You are try to flash a version that it earlier than what is on your phone. You can't downgrade.

You will need ver 5 bootloader.

From the software version firmware the bootloader version number is the 5th from the right

eg: G955FXXS4DSD3 the number 4 ( 5th from right ) is the bootloader version number.
