So I noticed this morning, my Sprint Galaxy S8+ had a software update. 388mb in size. Just trying to decide if I should go ahead and update or wait because our badass devs are close to releasing root on these phones and don't want to prevent my phone from being able to be rooted. Anyone else get the update notification?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] britchel:
T-Mobile also has an update from yesterday... I as well am waiting for the root
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Wacky2bakky:
I don't think it's 7.1.1 update so I don't see why it would prevent us from rooting
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] bluheart:
This has new feature which activates VOLTE for Sprint
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] kanchyhemboy:
I should have written it with clear context, I meant in India, if we got unlocked phones from the US. The unlocked firmware doesn't support Volte and cos it's a different network, of course neither do any of the US providers. Thx for replying to my PM tho
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] progro420:
Yea now the updates will start rolling out from all the carriers. Wouldn't surprise me if it break a our root method and half the people waiting to root will NOT be able to root cause they got updated before root was released. Lololol

Then it's off to the races looking for another root method and half the people won't pay there pledged donation cause they got updated before root was released.. lol

This exact scenario has played out many many times before in the past
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] meathammer386:
They allready said it would not mess with our root

---------- Post added at 06:04 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:02 PM ----------

Root is not out yet so how would they be able to patch it in an update if they have no idea like us how its rooted in the first place they did not release root so there is no root yet
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] progro420:
Pretty sure they know we are using eng firmware.. Wouldn't take much to disable us from.flashing eng firmware with a update...

The amount of times it was asked how root was obtained in the other thread that got closed was astronomical.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Xshooter726:
Yup lol It would be some what easy for Samsung to disable Downgrading or Flashing Eng firmware via OTA update. which is the major key part to this root method as already disclosed by the devs in plenty of post. They may not know how exactly the team obtained root using Eng Firmware and really they don't need to know. They could just Nuke the whole process by not allowing outdated/Non current firmware's to be flashed in download mode just like apple does now. Once you update there's no going back. I for one think the devs should release asap to get everyone on root before its to late and then release small updates to work out any bugs. Its a win win all around. Community wont risk getting root blocked. The community will see that the dev's are still working out bugs with small updates after release here and there to show long term support for this root method. Which would possibly mean more donates for the team. Community wins and devs win... But not if Samsung Nukes this whole thing before its even out.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] progro420:
Exactly what I'm saying my friend. Hope we see a release soon. Pretty funny how these updates appeared over night it seems, lol

Both my regular s8 and my s8+got the update.

Only updating the s8 atm.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] billydroid:
Ewww... Xfinity mobile? How did.you end up on that?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Xak:
You should know by now you can disable auto updates and you should always do that when you buy us carrier model Android phone

Do you happen to know the proper apps to freeze with package disabler so the update doesn't happen?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] progro420:
This worked for me...
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Xak:
Does not need package disabler it's a built in setting on the phone. Go to settings and search Auto Updates. You might have to enable developer options. To do that go to settings about phone tap on build number 7 to 8 times until it says developer settings enabled and it's the on the top of the list of settings it simply says Auto Update System.

---------- Post added at 09:08 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:07 PM ----------

I would not use that method I would just disable it in settings like I mentioned
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] progro420:
It's the same method a lot of other people across the board are using...

---------- Post added at 08:11 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:09 PM ----------

Either way works regardless of who posted it.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Root-Maniac:
Agreed with [MENTION=8474616]progro420[/MENTION]

Both methods work. Just cause that guy feels the need to say no the newbies method doesn't work or not to use that method, etc is just disrespectful...
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] force70:
Do not rely on that method by any means...samsung can and has forced updates to phones even still.

Ask anyone who had a note 7 last year and tried that...they had forced updates kill their devices.

I used package disabler pro and didnt get a single update.

Just sayin....

Disabled auto updating of the system, and was entirely sure I didn't accept an update on my TMO S8+, but got VoLTE and in-line calling enabled evidently.

Yep that was the latest update

[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] lightninbug:
Any words from the devs lately? Only asking because I have my bounty cash set aside awaiting root, but don't want it set aside forever... Stuff in general life has come up, BUT I still want to uphold my pledge. So any update would be greatly appreciated.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Root-Maniac:
+1 I can't sit on my pledged amount forever. I live pay check to pay check unfortunately....
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] kanchyhemboy:
+1, but we can't ask for an ETA now can we....
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Root-Maniac:
I didn't say anything about asking for a eta.... quote the other dude....
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] XBlackChaosX:
...... Sigh*.... You people never learn.... Smh, this thread is gonna get closed/locked aswell if you keep speaking out of topic..... For goodness sake create your own thread where you can speak freely on all things S8 root, it's so damn easy to do so..... Wouldn't surprise me if some of you are actually children with how some of you act.

Here, I've created a thread :

[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] lightninbug:
Actually no, a grown man.

In which I said, I'd donate to this project once completed; ANNNNND now the devs say that they achieved root. I pledged a hundred bucks awhile back, now that was a month or two ago, now a hundred bucks may not be THAT much to you, but it is to someone like me who has 3 children.

I am a man of my word with my pledge, all I'm asking is when I can prove my word.

This isn't JUST ANOTHER ETA post....

The devs created the fire/hype/talk/anticipation by announcing they achieved root...... If they didn't/don't want this type of excitement, maybe they should have held off on the BIG announcement.

And how is this off topic? I'm asking when I could pay my bounty, in THE BOUNTY THREAD..... AFTER they've announced they have achieved root.....
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Root-Maniac:

What you said my friend.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] XBlackChaosX:
[MENTION=2032491]lightninbug[/MENTION] : Last time I'll speak concerning this on this thread as I too am speaking off topic but if you were not speaking out of topic then why bother replying to my post then, clearly that post was meant for those who were...quite ironic.

Secondly, there's nothing wrong with people being excited and eager for this but we must follow the rules and the rules state to not speak out of topic. If people want to do that then create a thread (like i have.... It's free!) to do so that way everyone is free to write what they want as long as it's kept civilized....

Third, the devs can do what ever they please, last time I checked I didn't see you pulling exploits and root out your ass. it isn't there fault they are alot of impulsive and impatient people here that can't contain themselves and end up acting like children. They've done a kind thing with sharing this with us... The reason why they are taking a bit is because they are making sure you your S8 is not damaged or worse bricked in the process. They are looking out for us. It's not like they are teasing us or anything like that. When you first pledged you had no idea when or even if root was gonna be accomplished.... Borrow that state of mind again and be patient.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Root-Maniac:
Lol
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] meathammer386:
Sorry i dont have your money lol i had other thing to buy my word is nothing thank you maybe if you hurry with the root i can give you half lol jk
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] progro420:
I think the other guys point was if it gets released in a week from now he may not be able to pay his pledge untill he has extra money again.

Some people made pledges around tax time when they had extra money figuring root would come soon and may have to wait untill next tax season to pay there pledge.

Some people can pay anytime..

I understand what he was trying to ask.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] meathammer386:
Whats the point of pledging money if you cant pay makes no sense like i wouldnt do that put the money away that you said you would donate terrible

---------- Post added at 05:56 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:56 AM ----------

Tax time lol
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] progro420:
I understand your point as well.

I'm stepping out of this. Both sides have valid points. I'm not a mediator, moderator.

[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] meathammer386:
Next tax season to pay your pledge is insane you should not pledge if you cant do it when root is dropped just an exuse not to pay
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] progro420:
Well I haven't pledged. But I will gladly donate when the method is publicly available.

Lol
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] meathammer386:
Thats awesome I dont have an s8 and i donated 20$ when root drops im donating again my point is dont say your going to pledge money that you really dont have i could go on and on its just bad for bussiness and wrong

lets not get the bounty thread closed guys.. just bcuz the progress thread was closed doesnt mean to carry it over into another thread

you guys are making it difficult to track actual bounty pledges.. theres probably 5 pages with not a single pledge lol and thats just looking at recent posts

we are still having issues with the root script.. some apps such as Flashfire are not working and thats an important app since its the only way we can flash zips without a custom recovery....

Since BotsOne's thread is currently closed until the Superteam is ready to upload an official release for S8 root, I thought I would ask my question in this thread:

If I understand correctly, twrp (and therefore any known method of hiding root such as magisk) as of right now will not currently be available for this initial S8 root, correct? I just want to plan ahead in regards to sideloading apps etc as far as what will no longer show up for me on the play store with a rooted s8 using an exploited eng boot.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] billydroid:
Magisk won't won't as the bootlaoder must be unlocked.

well posting off topic can get this thread closed also lol.. u couldve asked via pm bro

but twrp is out of the picture.. that has nothin to do with magisk tho, the reason magisk wont work is because it modifies the boot.img and since we have secure boot and locked bl we cannot boot into a modified boot.img
