I tried to mount preload in Mount Menu but it wouldn't select so I moved on to wipe menu, advanced, and here it allowed me to select preload partition and continued on per instruction and swiped to wipe. Rebooted to Recovery to test if I could select preload in Mount Menu and sure enough I could. No more preload error. Thanks!!

I have not yet, Im a little hesitant, to at least downgrade as one I've had no issues before with 3.3.1.0 until this particular flash upgrading over 3.2.1.0 which was causing issues due I think to bootloader), the reason I was in this position where I had to start over and install twrp again was I tried to downgrade from 3.3.1.1 to 3.3.1.0 due to issues with it and just flashed 3.3.1.1, rebooted to twrp and got a bootloop, guess it could be issues with 3.3.1.1. and not so much me trying to downgrade. I may try when I have time on my hands in case something bad happens, but at the moment its just a minor inconvenience when I upgrade roms
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] Rmark1086:
I ended up flashing back to stock firmware in order to take the latest security update and rooted again.

The original attempt at rooting I ended up having to resolve preload error in TWRP. This time i followed directions EXACTLY as its written.

First attempt i didnt hold volume up+bixby+power before hitting start in odin. I did uncheck auto reboot, holding the button combination after complete.

This time i pressed volume up+bixby+power, immediately hit start in odin and wouldn't you know it i have no Preload error.

I used the exact same twrp download from first attempt and have no errors. Im assuming maybe the preload error is from not following directions exactly as they are written or missing a step somewhere else along the way.

[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] spawnlives:
Assuming that

1. That you unlocked your bootloader in developer options

2. Depending on what version you have that your rmm/kg state is showing normal(or disappeared)/checking. You can check in download mode.

Try Odin 3.13.1 or higher ( you log says 3.12.3 )

You need to flash the .img.tar file in the AP section of Odin only to install twrp.

Not sure what you trying to doing in BL section of Odin.

Since Niantic decided to make more much crap with PoGo, their are blocking users with TWRP and FoxRecovery, by detecting it, it seems not related to the twrp folder or the .twrps file, because i deleted my whole twrp folder, deleted pogo's app datas, and the blocking still persist.

Hi , I need some help . I use this software : odin3_v3.13.1, twrp-3.3.1-0-dreamlte.img, no-verity-opt-encrypt-6.1 , Magisk-v20.3

I use tutorial from post 3 , everything goes well but after this step:

3. Go to "Wipe" menu of TWRP and you will find "Format Data". Press "Format Data" and type "yes" to continue.

I have some errors

Later i install no-verity-opt-encrypt-6.1 and Magisk-v20.3 ,I have root ,everyhing works good but after restart I have error : only official released binaries are allowed to be flashed

After this error phone shuts down, twrp is not working , download mode works so I installed stock Android 9

What am I doing wrong ?

I have to use this file "RMM-State_Bypass_Mesa_v2" ?

Thank you for help , I installed before in other Galaxy phones (S4,S6) root ,twrp , xposed etc. but S8 is complicated...

Hi everybody,

I have some troubles getting lineage-os installed. Every time I try to install the custom rom, the screen goes black and resets to the twrp start screen. When I select a reboot option, it warns me that no OS is installed. Does someone know how to fix the problem?

I tried it with two different versions of lineage-OS (lineage-17.1-20200211-UNOFFICIAL-dreamlte.zip and lineage-17.1-20200415-UNOFFICIAL-dreamlte.zip) and two versions of TWRP (3.3.1-1/3.3.1-2).

I think that I followed the instructions correctly. I wiped the cache, system, preload and data, then I flashed the dm-verity and force encryption disabler (6.1). After that I tried installing the lineage-zip.

Thank you for your kind help! :good:

On the odin log show you want to flash the full firmware , don't hold nothing when flash just wait to be complete , don't need to force nothing after a complete flash will work anyway .

Just shutdown the phone ,and after that fast (will boot up automatically so you need to hold them pretty fast) hold bixby button + volume up and start up button , until twrp will show up (apx. 10 seconds) , and flash the latest version of https://build.nethunter.com/android-tools/no-verity-opt-encrypt/ , after that will boot up .

Since Oreo samsung introduced a new lock - RMM and/or KG state. Now you need OEM unlocked in developers section and in download (odin ) mode RMM/KG state normal/checking.

There are some other variations to this as well.

Unlikely. Root and custom recovery trips Knox. Only thing is that software running on your device might believe Knox hasn't been tripped and you can run certain apps afterwards (if I'm not mistaken that requires a special kernel). Doesn't change the fact that is has been tripped on the hardware side though.

my s8 has just arrived, and I want to install twrp and root it. Thing is, I'd like to know if it's still possible after I do the initial OTA update, which 'improves color optimization'. Since the update is 665MB, it seems a quite significant one. Should I do it? Is it dangerous to do before I flash twrp?

EU volume limit

Hello,

I am very exited I just successfully my s8+ using this method. I big thank you to all of the community to help us get this done.

The main reason I rooted my phone was so I could remove the EU volume limit in order to listen to music louder with my headphones.

I figured out so far that I have to navigate to system -> etc -> Mixer_paths.xlm.

But once I reach this file, I don't know know which line to change the value on, and to which new value. Could anyone help me figure out this last bit ?

I want to raise the volume for both cabled earphones but all bluetooth earphones. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Ps sorry i know this is a little off topic, but i couldn't find any thread about this and due to by beginner status i am not allowed to create a new one so i didn't know which other solution I had.

Many many thanks.

There is a new OTA update for Vodafone. Does anyone know if I can get away with doing this update and then rooting?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] Jnioms:
Im coming from an S5 and if it is the same, yes. OTA gets disabled. All you had to do was the following:

When there was a new update in sammobile, download the update, make a full wipe through TWRP (generally its not needed, but this way you delete any old files that may cause a problem with the update) and flash it with ODIN. And then just flash TWRP and root again.

Its a long process, but once you use to it its pretty automatic.

The only problem right now is taking some time before updating just to make sure that the updates samsung sends doesn't break anything with the TWRP/Root/Knox relationship, but i think there will be no issue.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] eSu.Matix:
Sorry for the off-topic but I'm very curious if anyone knows which countries those are and if Germany is one of them. I recall that EU had somewhat of a similar law, but I cannot find it.

The t will mean that I can directly root my phone instead of waiting for almost two years like I did with my S6.

Thanks in advance!

A Samsung upgrade question coming from a Sony Xperia background: With Sony, my experience was that, once rooted, by the beneficence of developers, upgrades would quickly find their way into a flashable ROM that would usually upgrade without the need for a wipe.

Yes. Most ROMs will include recent, useful manufacturer updates. This is why you never need to take OTA updates ever again.
