[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] TheIcE65:
I've just purchased the phone and the massive amount of bloatware, lack of adaway and the useless bixby button instantly made me want to root. However I have a couple of issues.

First off, I don't even know if my bootloader is unlocked. I tried the phone dial technique and the fastboot technique and both of them did nothing. I also tried looking in the devs option for a "oem unlock" option, but it appears to be missing from my device. So, how do I check if my bootloader is unlocked?

Second off, I have the snapdragon variant, which means no twrp for me for now. However I did see that cf-auto-root supports my device, so that's some good news. I haven't been in touch with the android community for quite a while now, but I did see that a better (apparently), open-source alternative exist to supersu : Magisk (I'm particularly interested in the "hide root" feature). Can I install Magisk even after rooting with cf_auto_root (which installs supersu iirc)?

Thank you for your time.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] Harry44:
Sorry, but cf-auto-root does not support the Snapdragon variant sadly. :(
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] TheIcE65:

I may be wrong, but I think it is supported.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] Harry44:
It requires an unlocked bootloader or a phone capable of accepting fastboot oem unlock / fastboot flashing unlock. I wish I were wrong, trust me..
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] TheIcE65:
Oh that's too bad. How do I know if my bootloader is unlocked though?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] TheBigEasy88:
I would do a little reading here as this has been discussed numerous times. Unfortunately, you need an unlocked bootloader to use any of the root tools out there. All of these sites have a disclaimer noted regarding not working with a locked bootloader. So sit back and grab a beer...may be a while until we see root...if at all.

If you have a snapdragon...its locked.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] 123321dogs:
Hey guys thanks for the thread.

I'm in the same boat here, Snapdragon version Galaxy S8 in Canada. If anybody knows or hears anything about a way to unlock the bootloader in the future so we can get all this Samsung garbage off our phones that wouldn't be amazing.

Thanks guys
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] ggrant3876:
It's unlockable, adb reboot bootloader then fastboot oem unlock..

Probably never going to happen.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] TheIcE65:
Could you help me do that?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] Harry44:
Ebay, Samsung.com, Swappa.com
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] ggrant3876:
That was the command to unlock the bootloader, to see if it's unlocked you can try this:

Step 1 : Open your device’s dialer (App where you enter telephone numbers to call someone).

Step 2 : Dial the below code, it will automatically open a new windows. (if it doesn’t opens anything then use the second method).

1. *#*#7378423#*#*

Step 3 : Now in that window go to Service Info >> Configuration, and see if there is :

1. Bootloader unlock allowed - Yes >> This means that your Bootloader is Locked

2. Bootloader Unlocked - Yes >> This means that your Bootloader is unlocked

If this doesn't work you can try this:

Step 1 : Download and install adb & fastboot package & drivers in your system (Google it for your device).

Step 2 : After successful installation of adb & fastboot, connect your device to your PC via USB cable in fastboot mode.

Step 3 : Now open the folder where your adb & fastboot package is extracted, press Shift key on your keyboard and right click in the folder and select “Open command prompt here“.

Step 4 : It will open a Command Prompt window.

Step 5 : Type the following command to check if the device was detected in fastboot mode.

fastboot devices

Step 6 : if you don’t get device it or anything it means that the drivers weren’t correctly installed or the device wasn’t connected properly, if this happens try reinstalling your drivers.

Step 7 : Next run the following command to check the status of your device’s bootloader.

Is there any way of rooting (well unlocking bootloader) of an s8, sm-950w, Canadian (bell) w/ the snapdragon?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] ggrant3876:
If it's the snapdragon as I state before, probably not going to happen. You can watch this thread to see any updates to root.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] force70:
Nope....ditch the snap and buy exynos.

sent from my Note FE, S8 plus, S7 edge or S6
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] Eddiemc:
Alternative solution (you're on the Snapdragon, right?)

1. Adhell (Adblock using knox, not as good as adaway, but best rootless alternative and free)

2. Package disabler pro (for all your bloatware, or use the above adhell since it now has that functionality)

3. Bxbye to remap the bixby button to whatever you want.

Unless you want a custom ROM, those are almost as good as root functionality.

Use autotools in combination with tasker to get all the root tasker functionality such as emersive mode, GPS on/off, etc.

You can even use substratum for center clock (if you need that)

Unless you're desperately hankering for a custom rom, all of the above will give you (almost) everything rooted stock does.

Trust me, I've never owned an unrooted android phone until now, and I've still not rooted my exynos s8.

Until xposed gets released for android 7 that is, after that I might reconsider..
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] Mr. Orange 645:
Root isn't worth tripping Knox and losing Samsung Pay anyway. You can debloat, block ads, and change the launcher all without root.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] TheIcE65:
How do you block ads without root?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] Mr. Orange 645:
Like someone else here mentioned, you can use Adhell. It's in the Google Play Store. It uses Samsung's own firewall to block ads system wide. Then in addition, if you're using the Samsung Browser, you can install additional content blockers to block ads within the browser.

Adhell also features a package Disabler so you can disable bloatware, whether or not it's a system app.

I know some people are flashaholics and just HAVE to flash custom ROMs, but have found absolutely no reason to root this device. I used to root and flash different ROMs everyday, but haven't seen the need since Marshmallow on my Nexus 6P. My Pixel XL is sitting in a drawer, locked bootloader, not rooted, and running stock Android O. And honestly, the S8+ I have even LESS reason to root since I can block ads system wide and debloat.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] ggrant3876:
I prefer Blokada from XDA. And use Package Disabler Pro to debloat. And the Bxbye to remap the bixby button I'd leave alone as it causes a lot of lag.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] hazmad:
There's no fastboot on S8. the dialer code doesn't work either. good info, just doesn't apply to our phone.

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] Maor545:
I love the style of Flyme on Meizu phones. They use one home button for back, home actions and swipe up for recent apps.

I am trying to make the controls on my Samsung S7 like its designed in Flyme.

I want to use only my HOME button, single tap for back action, single press for go home action, and still be able to use the fingerprint feature.

The issue here is, the RessurectionRemix ROM I tried only supports actions for pressing the button.

I have found, that app "easyHOME" enables the touching feature for home button, but I would like to have a more reliable solution like xPosed module.

Another feature I looking for is to show recent apps by simply swiping from the very bottom of the screen up. Do you know any way of enabling it?

ETA: Can I flash the OTA zip file in TWRP?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndDiSa:
[MENTION=3872662]Superorb[/MENTION] why not flashing the factory image using fastboot? It's much more secure than TWRP. (You might want to have a look here ;)). If you are already on the latest bootloader you can also skip that step.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Superorb:
I'm afraid of screwing something up using fastboot. I've never had a problem using TWRP.

In the image I downloaded there is a zip file that looks like any regular flashable zip. Can I do that or should I just go the flashboot way?

order online and get delivered to hotel. Try frys which is at the Luxor end of the strip but I don't think they've got much HTC stuff.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Accessories] stooby:
Try PhoneSource USA (www.phonesource-usa.com)

They have a shop at 2410 N Decatur in Las Vegas.

I don't know what their prices are like at the moment, but they were pretty good in October when I was there. Unfortunately, they had run out of Kaisers so I missed out.

Hope this helps

damn that exchange rate...

if you do hit up phonesource's store front, it's a good $20 cab ride roundtrip from the strip, but you'll get a fabulous view of how different the Las Vegas valley is away from the megaresorts/hotels. Start a stripmall picture collection! :)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Accessories] mzoller:
Now that the Sim unlocking tool is out getting a AT&T Tilt and then unlocking it is the cheapest way to go. Get it delivered to the Hotel, even overnight:
