Root will be out by the end of this week. Don't worry about it.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] nprev420:
But it is. If you look at chainfires site. It says it is for MSM8998 which is the Snapdragon varient
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Valkiry:
The linky provided does not link you to chainfire dude. Give the right information or you are risking people bricking their device!
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] nprev420:
If you read the WHOLE page there is a link to chainfires page....Twice. But I'll update the OP for those that can't read.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] hellsgods91:
Why do u say that
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] mweinbach:
The EngBoot.img will be released within the next couple days. That means that root will come soon after that.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] ethanscooter:
Delete this thread. People have already talked about this so much. Those files were released by a bot that generates it for any device. We don't have an unlocked bootloader, flashing this will fail. You're essentially baiting people and wasting their time.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] hellsgods91:
Irs been out
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] mweinbach:
really? do you have a link.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Heavenly_Abyss2016:
Baited. Damn it.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] hellsgods91:
If u read the posts about R&D u can but the frimware or wait for the guy to post it
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] webdork:
pfffttt...What a **** tease.

Tell you what you try it out and post a video showing it works....then I'll buy it.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] hellsgods91:
Not going to buy it not worth the hassle and if everyone look the the gsmfourm they have it posted for the open public I see no reason to use it because the bootloader are locked not point what so ever
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] webdork:
So where is it...???
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] leetroot:
Root DOES exist on the S8 Plus CAN and US variants

I just went on Chainfire's website and the root DOES exist.

Just do CTRL + F or Command +F for Macs and type in the Model Number. In my case it was the G955W. So yes the OP is right and yes there is a root out for all S8 Plus devices for Snapdragon variants.

And no this is not a bot that generates it, this is the real thing.

Did you try it?!?

Pass the popcorn bro...
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Manson79:
Are you sure?:
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] PieceofSlice:
Well, until someone tests it out this is #FakeNews...
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] samman82:
You won't try it. No balls
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] elliwigy:
it has been brought up multiple times in multiple threads and it will not work on locked BL devices.. how hard is it for ppl to understand this lol if you read any of the snapdragon s8 root threads or even chainfires cf auto root page you will easily determine it will not work
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] PieceofSlice:
Why do you think I said #FakeNews...
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Nathan.7118391:
And just like the person who uses that term you don't know what you're saying. . . LOL

The OP is RIGHT, there is a root for our phone but the bootloader is STILL LOCKED. If we flash then brick! Doesn't mean there's no root, it means the DAMN BOOTLOADER IS LOCKED!

Sheesh! Like talking to my wife's sisters kids who are hard of hearing with earphones on under water. . .
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] elliwigy:
there is no root and hasnt been any proof to suggest there is.. none of the files floating around (combo firm or any ENG boot) has any form of root.. in fact they all have write disabled and any commands youd normally run as root turn up as permission denied..

if the bl was unlocked then yes, wed have root but since its locked and all other forms of root are not actualky root then there is no root at all
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Heavenly_Abyss2016:
So, if there isn't a way to unlock bootloader, there isn't going to be root. Or there isn't any root at all.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] elliwigy:
not true.. you can get a root shell if you have an eng root.. eng root is signed by samsung so you dont need an unlocked BL to flash them but the ones we have dont have root
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] theotherguy666:
S8

I have a S8 and if anyone needs me to flash anything let me know. Still waiting for the engboot...lol

---------- Post added at 03:41 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:31 AM ----------

I've been digging in the partitions and they look different from the s7. Maybe if we can get somewhere with rw then we can root. I did flash the userdata on it though but the service provider is still sprint (I have a S8 sprint) funny thing is the Verizon bloat is there now. lol

Maybe AT commands will fix it. Gonna try it from uart when I get my 3.0 uart cord.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] mmaccon:
Root, or what most are attempting to achieve with root (TWRP, Custom Roms, V4A, etc) ain't happening on a phone with a locked bootloader. It sucks, but it just isn't happening. Manufacturers, software providers and service providers are quickly clamping down on this ability in the name of security. Heck , even Netflix doesn't show up in the Play Store if root is detected. Unless someone pulls a major rabbit out of their hat, there won't be a whole lotta fun with the S8/S8+.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] elliwigy:
you are highly misinformed... root has been possible on locked BL devices for a long time now all the way up to the S7 and Note 7 even so what makes you think this is any different?

I do agree twrp is not possible most likely but root is highly likely if we get enough devs on it
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] mmaccon:
Yes, I'm aware locked bootloader devices can be rooted. And yes, technically anything is possible. My first post was over generalized. The point is that one cannot root this phone, flash a recovery, and then do all the normal stuff we've all done with rooted Samsung phones from Note 5 on back, and it's a real disappointment.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] elliwigy:
that also is not true lol.. there are tools that act as a form of recovery to flash roms and other items.. one that was used that comes to mind is flashfire.. you can flash custom roms, v4a etc..

only thing you wouldnt be able to flash are custom kernels or recoveries and probably not magisk

---------- Post added at 09:48 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:47 PM ----------

to add, that means stock roms that work with stock kernel would be ok but of course no custom kernels means no aosp roms like lineage
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] mmaccon:
Last reply then I'm out:

"One cannot root the phone" - True now, hopefully not forever.

"flash a recovery" -True.

"do normal stuff..." - Take this however you want.

As far as tools out there like Flashfire (Mobile Odin), this is the 4th bullet point from Chainfire's page:

"While an unlocked bootloader is not strictly necessary for many of FlashFire's functionalities, we strongly recommend all root users to run unlocked if possible. With locked bootloaders, there is a much higher chance of a device being unrecoverable if something goes wrong. This is not just true for FlashFire, but for many root apps. The specifics are device dependent."

As far as V4A, I've always unstood it to require SELinux set to permissive. Maybe this isn't case, I've always used it on a rooted device.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] elliwigy:
but with root we will have permissive selinux, heck we have permissive without root already lol.. u are missing the point and your posts are misleading.. of course unlocked is the way to go if possible.. and flashfire can be used to flash anything outside of protected partitions such as BL or Boot.img so long as the device is rooted.. you can do just about all the same activities minus aosp based roms, twrp or anything that would touch the bootloader or kernel etc. that require specifically the BL to be unlocked..

so once we get root, we will have a lot of capabilities.. pretty much anything except those that require unlocked BL
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] webdork:
So anything cool... Got it...
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Acoustichayes:
Unless a bootstrap is created for the s8, or someone resurrects safestrap and ports it.

But I honestly don't know the requirements for it to work. Haven't used one since I rooted my buddy's note 2 back in 2012
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] elliwigy:
you dont need all that.. you just need Flashfire..... Safestrap to my knowledge has been dead for years lmao.. last device i believe i saw hashcode0f work on i believe was the S5??
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Acoustichayes:
I was meaning for those that want the full experience of having a custom recovery. That and to keep everything failsafe and away from the bootloader. plus extra rom slots. Flashfire is nice, don't get me wrong. I just got use to having twrp and whatnot
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] elliwigy:
well us verizon Sammy users are used to not having it since probably the S4 lol
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Acoustichayes:
I was lucky enough to choose the DNA when I was with Verizon as my last phone with them. Broke into that sob after a couple hours haha.

Thinking back. I remember when I had the Evo 3D for Sprint and you had to physically touch a wire between 2 points under the battery cover to short something while powering on in order to unlock the bootloader... Too bad these things don't give you access to the internals
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] elliwigy:
u can take them apart lol but to be honest im sure for most part all that stuff is fixed lol

i had Sprint.. Samsung Epic and Samsung Epic 4G Touch then I believe S2, S3, at some point LG Optimus G then switcged to vzw and got the S4 and been there since with every galaxy phone ever made and other phones along the lines lol
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Acoustichayes:
Well I'm sure we can't provide in root instructions "take apart new 750 dollar phone that you probably have on lease and hopefully put it back together properly" haha

This is my second samsung. Had the s6 prior to this. otherwise it was all HTC phones because of how they felt in hand. That and the DNA was the first quad core 1080p phone
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] elliwigy:
lol plus if u take it apart chances are you will no longer have IP68 certification and take chances itll come apart one day haha
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] sreza4:
How to the battery life on this root?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] elliwigy:
not sure if u read any of the comments so ill let you know now, THERE IS NO ROOT as of yet..
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] grneyez:
LOL, if only people read a little.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] peachpuff:
I'm getting 10 hours of sot!!!
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] elliwigy:
lol and im getting 0 battery life since root doesnt exist yet haha
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] this.guy.lol:
Give it about oh..

...

...35 days 52 at most and root will be here. :) someone has it and it'll be released soon. Expect it by July or August.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] elliwigy:
lol and who might this person be.. here we go again
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] ironbesterer:
Don't be that.guy.lol
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] this.guy.lol:
Lol but I am that guy...in all seriousness though I'm honestly looking towards them time given. Minimal. I mean if roots your aim drop the $ if you got in for the lame exynos model. I'm either gonna get a SD model or a oneplus 3t op5 ONLY to do the game cube emulations and live stream em. Totally worth it ya? Not really lol. I love u guys but root isn't a,thing for 3-6 months as I stayed originally back in may or April.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] jUsT2eXy:
I just want root so I can install AdAway, change my host files and then unroot keeping the modified host files ..

I hate adverts!!

Here is a major dumb question - from Phone Info it says the stock rom is rooted. How do I access it?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] elliwigy:
what did u flash?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] rfrenz:
Nothing - this is strictly the stock rom.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Acoustichayes:
That is saying that root user exists. Not that you are rooted.

Also, OP, i would append the name of this thread as it is extremely misleading

[Moto G4 Questions & Answers] Granwoltz:
So I just got an Amazon G4 32GB w/Ads running 6.0.1 (XT1625 ). Out of curiosity, considering everything I've seen that says they're locked anymore, I went to the Moto site & submitted my data strings and evidently I have been sent a unique boot loader unlock code. Should I unlock and see about installing another ROM, or should I just go with the Amazon variation of the software? I get that the general consensus of this site is for flashing alternate ROMS...but I'm just concerned about bricking this phone since it is the Amazon subsidized version.
[Moto G4 Questions & Answers] catsruul:
Definitely unlock it if you can. It's generally very hard to brick this phone unless you break a bootloader/fastboot flash.

Custom ROMs are leagues better than insecure Amazon firmware and ads.
[Moto G4 Questions & Answers] schwim:
Can the Amazon subsidized G4 be unlocked if it's been upgraded to Nougat? If not, is it possible to roll back the version?
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] Abdhn:
As the title says would it be possible? I have a huawei honor 8 which I badly need to root so that I can WiFi Tether again...

I have rooted in the past using PC's however the only internet I have right now is from my phone and I will most likely not have any other internet connections apart from this for a long time.

I have seen various videos on how to root using a PC but I cannot do this and won't be able to :(

Please, if anybody can shed some light I will be so grateful!
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] jshealton:
You have to have a PC to unlock the bootloader on this phone. Theoretically, you could do everything you need internet access for on the phone. (Download files, get unlock code, ect.) Once that is done, you transfer those files to the PC over USB. I would suggest printing out the root guide so you can have that in front of you. Then you should be able follow step by step and root your Honor 8.

Short answer: No, you need a PC but, in theory, that PC does not need internet access.
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] PuffDaddy_d:
Turn on the wireless hotspot feature of your phone and connect your PC using WiFi to download the files.
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] skibler:
Is there a safe way to root the phone without unlocking the bootloader?
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] freemannhp:
There is no way to root the phone without unlocking boot loader.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] buzzwyzr:
Anyone successful at activating Google Voice to manage your voicemails on the S8+? I'm coming from a Nexus device where it worked flawelessly. I guess Sprint has disabled the ability to use GV because they want you to use their voicemail app.

I have tried the steps on this page but voicemails still go to the stock app.

https://community.sprint.com/t5/Goo...p-28-does-not-work-here-s-the-fix/td-p/348100
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] jdee323:
Might be able to get it working once we have root and can freeze the voicemail app. I wasn't able to answer phone calls with call forwarding to gv tho, so that will might be an issue.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] darksidesh007:
I used this, and Google Voice is working for me. *73 is the key. *28 no longer works for it like GV mistakenly still states in the setup.

I came from Verizon Note 5 and switched to the Sprint S8+, and could not figure it out until I found the above.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] buzzwyzr:
Do you have the google voice app installed? I've tried this every which way I can find and it still reverts to Sprint voicemail.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] rontonomo:
I don't remember where i copied this from awhile ago but, it has always worked for me as long as google voice is installed and set up.

To activate Missed Call Forwarding:

Enter *73

Enter the 10-digit phone number to forward the calls to (google voice number here)

example =

*73XXXXXXXXXX

Press Talk

Listen for the alert tones that tell you Call Forwarding is activated

To deactivate No Answer Call Forwarding:

Enter *730

Press Talk

Listen for the alert tones that tell you Call Forwarding is deactivated

Busy - forwards calls to an alternate number when your line is busy

To activate Busy Call Forwarding:

Enter *74

Enter the 10-digit phone number to forward the calls to (google voice number here)

example =

*74XXXXXXXXXX

Press Talk

Listen for the alert tones that tell you Call Forwarding is activated

To deactivate Busy Call Forwarding:

Enter *740

Press Talk

Listen for the alert tones that tell you Call Forwarding is deactivated
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] Moguledyouth:
That's strange, I'm on Sprint and the *28xxxxxxxxxx, worked for me perfectly. I may try busy *74 number, but as for me all my voicemails are being forwarded to Google Voice and the Google Voice app is notifying me accordingly.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] rontonomo:
did you enable the notifications in the google voice app?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] Moguledyouth:
If you are asking me, notifications are enabled in the Voice app and I even have Lightflow set up with a custom led notification.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] gcozmo:
Do you have any issues using Lightflow, I had terrible experience with s6 edge +. Bought the pro but haven't tried it yet since the 6.

For all of you who have GV voicemail working...do you use wifi calling?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] thereynolds:
Had to call Sprint and have them remove WiFi calling from my account in order to get GV integration working (where when I make an outgoing call from my phone, my GV voice number is shown instead of my cell number). Now, trying to make a WiFi call, I get this message:

https://goo.gl/photos/ZUHzjq6uWbSrQy4k6

I'm afraid to move forward from this screen because GV integration is important for me... but so is WiFi calling. I was able to do both on my Note 4, which is what I was using before getting the S8+. Wonder why it can't do both now?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] buzzwyzr:
I can't see the pic. What does the message say?

I am only using GV for voicemail. I'm not planning on going fully integrated so I have no input on that.

I had to disable Wi-Fi calling to finally get GV voicemail to work.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] bartendersimon:
I believe Sprint do not support both service, GV and Wifi-Calling, you either use one or the other, the only phone so far that i know for sprint able to use both was the Galaxy Note 4 because the Dual antenna for voLTE. "Please dont quote me on this"

I'm just a noob myself, so I can't offer any advice myself. (That would be the blind leading the blind.) But, a Google search shows that Samsung FRP problems are not unique to you. Two suggestions.

First, check out Rootjunky's method on this XDA thread https://www.xda-developers.com/rootjunky/

If that doesn't work, he also has another method that requires no computer. (I can't post the link because it is outside XDA and that is understandably blocked for total noobies like myself.) :silly: Just Google this:
