Just wanted to pop in and say that some how, I'm charged to 84%, and I've been rooted since this method was posted. CPU-Z says that my battery is discharging. No idea how this is possible.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] TT_Vert:
Ok what carrier are you on?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] elliwigy:
updato
[Samsung Galaxy S8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] TT_Vert:
what is your question exactly? At what point did it go over 80%?

Dave
[Samsung Galaxy S8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] d33dvb:
Verizon
[Samsung Galaxy S8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] TT_Vert:
Well your build shows 955, did you flash the wrong thing? That's probably your issue.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] sorcerer86:
did you flash the s+ firmware instead of the s fw? maybe try downloading again..
[Samsung Galaxy S8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] TT_Vert:
Bottom of page, get QE3

http://updato.com/firmware-archive-select-model?exact=1&q=SM-G950U1
[Samsung Galaxy S8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] elliwigy:
he probably used the files from S8+ thinkin it was the same lol
[Samsung Galaxy S8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] d33dvb:
Now you have me wondering about my root procedure, is the verizon thread the same files as the regular s8 thread? Did you guys release multiple?

And if that is the case can you point me to the correct thread for that, and is there a way to move easier back to what i need with root or do i need to start back at a fresh s8 stock build, then reflash the procedure?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] TT_Vert:
At this point if you are sure you flashed the first 4 files properly you can probably go into flashfire and flash the correct system.img as well as supersu again and be golden. You need build to be 950. I recommend you just extract that QE3 system.img and use it to at least get you back to a 950 build and see if it stabilizes.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] d33dvb:
Yah I used the system.img from the attached link in the OP, who knows what happened, Ill try doing that, thanks man!
[Samsung Galaxy S8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] sorcerer86:
that fw is for the factory unlocked version, if you would prefer the verizon than get the sm-g950u fw.

this is the one i got, either would be safe, just choices.

I think both U and U1 are interchangeable but your call. That one is newer for sure though.

[Samsung Galaxy S8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] d33dvb:
You guys have been a huge help, thanks so much.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] TyPhyter:
No question, just thought it would be worth sharing. I just left my phone on the charger. I've now discharged back to 80% since then.

There. You can see towards the top it's all blurry and there's these odd lines through it. The UI lags like crazy.

Yep many of us have this. Sit tight until a fix is created, if there is one.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] elliwigy:
verizon thread?? there should only be two.. in s8 and s8+ forums..

if ur rooted now u can start at part 2 but the files u use need to be from that particular thread or else ull b flashing files for the wrong device

---------- Post added at 11:37 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:36 PM ----------

no.. follow i structions in op.. u need to perform the wipe, firmware flash and root.zip in the same session

u still didnt send me a screenshot of ur about phone

---------- Post added at 11:40 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:38 PM ----------

i dont even have issues like that.. we have a zip tho that disables knox and a bunch of other stuff tho.. might b just some app/apps causing problems
[Samsung Galaxy S8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] sovereign73811:
My bad, didn't see the "About" part...lol.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] elliwigy:
as i suspected ypu didnt follow instructions.. you used the wrong files somewhere..

i assume u have a g950U1 but you flashed the csc root zip from the g955U
[Samsung Galaxy S8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] d33dvb:
Wondering if you flashed the same incorrect file as me, for s8+

Open gmail and see if rotation is reversed.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] ReloGan:
Has anyone had issues keeping their S8 connected?

I get all the way down to running the final script in Part 1, but despite accepting the RSA keys to my computer, my phone keeps popping up a message about my computer not being able to access the my phone's data; Security Log says that it has blocked unauthorized access.

No reboot after script as well

*Could there be an issue with USB Debugging and MTP? Do the types of USB ports matter?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] highaltitude:
Yes I have. I have gone through the instructions step by step, slowly methodically. Just can't make Flash fire part work. I have used FF plenty of times before. Have flashed many different phones, run tons of custom roms. Im no noobie. Just can't get flash fire to stop spinning when trying to select a firmware.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] partcyborg:
Uhh did you flash s8+ firmwares??? That would probably mess stuff up lol
[Samsung Galaxy S8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] d33dvb:
So I have the firmware downloaded from that link, which would be system.img ?

I opened the AP file, from the stock firmware, and it has a system.img.ext4 I am unpacking using 7zip, i am assuming im on the right path

I am going to flash the system.img.ext4 and the SamPWND_S8.zip in flashfire and hopefully that gets me back.

So now my about screen say s8, not s8 plus now. the Rom is butter and doing the procedure above worked. Thanks everyone!
[Samsung Galaxy S8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] sovereign73811:
Looking around....I'm a bit uncertain what you mean there. Yeah it's a U1 model and I flashed a U1 system.img.ext4 using FlashFire. Maybe I'm missing something in the directions.

Rotation seems to be fine over here.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] TT_Vert:
For ff spinning go to airplane mode. System.ing in ap file. Use 7zip to extract it
[Samsung Galaxy S8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] yoyoche:
Successfully rooted my unlocked sm-g950u1 (use AT&T). I have read through both the S8 & S8+ threads here since release. Captured screen shots of threads I thought could help eliminate problems. Watched RootJunky's YouTube video, printed out both set of instructions, updated my windows samsung drivers, tested adb., tested odin, trying to eliminate as many problems as I could.

Downloaded files listed in the S8 thread and others that were needed and verified I had them all before starting. I was able to do a little refresher on adb commands through Google search & YouTube videos. So sat down with my 2 sets printed instructions. Took my backup phone and cast RootJunky's video to my TV, this gave me my pause controls by my computer. I then proceeded by running & pausein the video at each step while I verified the written instructions. With this combination I eliminated some mistakes. But I essentially followed and used RootJunky's video and file downloads (he had an adb. bat file that helped with speed).

I ran the first odin commands forgetting to enable the options in Odin, so had to restart.

I did have to restart FF a couple of times to get it going (don't forget to activate airplane mode)

Got stuck in upload mode couple of times (vol. dn., bixby, & power to get out)

All that took me about 3 hours. I'm slow getting to old and my last root was 3 years ago.

Rest evening was setting up the phone and files. Pretty much done with that. The only thing I might do is flash the unlocked os version. Not sure I like the at&t.

No real problems and pretty proud of myself too lol

Thanks devs I had fun!
[Samsung Galaxy S8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] highaltitude:
Do you have a link to where to get the sm-g950u1 firmware? I have unlocked ATT as well, but looking for that version of software.

Also does anyone else have issues where the phone does a small vibrate all the time. As in every few minutes? I finally got all the way completely through everything, but I feel it ran better before doing the Part2 section.

can you add indian CSC to this zip
[Samsung Galaxy S8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] sovereign73811:
I went ahead and tried a second time.

Um....okay I SWEAR I only used the files on Page 1 (except for the system image which came from this: http://updato.com/firmware-archive-select-model?record=1C742B3D514411E7963AFA163EE8F90B ).

And when before phase 2 my Service Provider SW Ver. was G950. After the process it's now G955. Now I don't know if that's what's going wrong but there it is. Oh, and I notice when FlashFire was doing its work, I saw "G955 Fix" on the screen before it booted up.

Don't know if this will help or not but, that's what I saw.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] nimms:
I think every one will have the same version in SW info zone as 955 because the CSC(OMC) file that jrkruse used are similar in both s8 and s8+ zips that we flash in part 2.

May be am wrong... can others comment?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] TT_Vert:
link up your CSC for the S8. My S8+ QG2_ADD_CSC_SYSTEMROOT.zip was 118 MB (123,808,315 bytes). Or look at build.prop in the system folder of that file. Mine shows (I have an S8+):

[Samsung Galaxy S8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Aruku:
So, I'm the end, after lots of different tests, backups and craziness, I've come to the conclusion that the SD card is defective, since I've found CRC errors, bad sectors, and a few corrupted files.

For some reason, my old SGS5 didn't seem to have a problem, but the S8 can't take it: between a few seconds and up to a minute after inserting the card, the phone will show the kernel panic screen and die.

If a start the phone with the card in it, it will beep like crazy, I don't even know if it will show the kernel panic screen or restart itself, I'd always do it.

I guess it tries to scan the card, either to index files or just for some sanity checks, and the S5 didn't care about that.

The part I don't understand is why did the problems started after rooting the phone. Brand new it didn't any problem with the card...

Anyway, now to look for a way to unbrand it from AT&T. And BTW, I have googled it and searched here too, but I couldn't find anything: what is the difference between the G950U and the G950U1?

And why is it that there are no roms so far (at least as of yesterday I couldn't find any) for these versions? Because of the CPU or some other different hardware?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Art3714:
I believe that you are looking for the u1 version.

[Samsung Galaxy S8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] bigdog1459:
help?

SO I have been attempting this for around 6 hours now. I have been able to get to the point of exiting the unstable shell to get a stable root shell. the screenshot below keeps happening. What am I doing wrong? I have looked through all 40+ pages and could not find the answer. If I missed it, please point me in the right direction. Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] xBkKx:
It worked best for me to exit cmd prompt and start over on the "setsid su" part if it didn't go into stable root the first time so it I typed exit and it didn't go to # right away I just closed cmd prompt and went back to the setsid su step
[Samsung Galaxy S8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] bigdog1459:
I shall give that a try. Thanks!

So the cmd prompt keeps acting weird. Saying it can't find things and changing what I am typing in. I type in "systemroot/remount2.sh" and it came back with "systemroo/remntsh: not found" so I am sure I messed something up along the way. I'm just not sure where and how cause it's pretty straight forward. Again any help would be fantastic. I've been chopping away at this all day to no avail.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] xBkKx:
I've come to assume it's not in a stable root shell when it still does that. When typing setsid su then exit holding down enter should only show # for each new line that's how I checked mine so my way was:

cd C:\platform-tools (where I have adb located)

adb shell

setsid su

exit (usually hangs here. I just push enter)

# (should be the next line if it's not I start back to top. If it is I push enter a few more times to make sure it's stable)

#

#

# if so I proceed to next step

So i got root to work, no issues with the process what so ever, so this confirms that I have everything installed on pc correctly. Then I naturally started to tinker. Well after a reboot the phone (unlocked SD S8) got stuck on the carrier screen. So i let it sit for about ten minutes and still stuck on the carrier screen (Tmobile for me). At this point I knew I had to start over, not a huge deal. I cannot for the life of me to get Odin to flash stock firmware. Yes the phone is in download mode as well. I have downloaded 3.10.6 and this is the log with only auto reboot and F.reset time selected in options.

Don't know what happened but still didn't get Odin to flash. After the last fail I restarted phone and it started right up. Had to set everything back up again and still rooted though. No idea wtf happened, but I'm good now.

Hey Elliwigy,

Long time lurker of xda, almost-never poster as well. Was sitting in Best Buy yesterday about to buy an s7 because I knew the bootloader was just unlocked and I'm moving away from my jailbroken 10.2. ip6+. Anyway, the guy helping me out asked why I was getting the s7, I explained openly I needed root, to which he replied "Cool, so we can grab you the s8, no bootloader unlock yet if ever, but like last week the team working on it on xda released their root method. I have one s8 left, and you'll be spending $6 less a month on payments." (paying it off after 30 days but essentially that was $144 savings.

Anyhoo bought it, came directly home (was hungry, didn't care) and started the process at around 8pm last night. My adb went through without a hiccup, not a single time did I have to repeat the exit code. Only hiccup I ran into was the ff spinning indefinitely. But, thanks to someone asking about it nearly every other page and you (or someone else) answering like a broken record to turn on airplane mode, I worked through that part real quick.

I have no question, I just wanted to thank you and everyone else involved in this for doing what you do. When I was younger, I didn't understand the weight of doing something like this. Now in my late 20's, I couldn't imagine myself doing this without intent to profit - mostly because I'm an asshole. You, are a gentleperson and a scholar. I sit here with impeccable timing with a rooted s8. Now, I will return to lurker status until a bootrom exploit is discovered and I can get Xposed running. (hell, might even already be possible, I should probably research that - been away from android for 5 years now, have some catching up to do.)

If you or any of the others involved in this one are ever in the northern KY/cinci/tristate area, I'll buy you a beer at Braxtons. Cheers!
[Samsung Galaxy S8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] d33dvb:
I have to say once again well done you guys, this thing is butter. Everything is flawless, now that i have the right firmware. It amazes me how much better optimized this kernel is than the eng s7 was.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] th3g1z:
Good stuff guys, alias a=exit before the setsid su 0 and typing a instead of exit worked well. I can't find who mentioned that now, but thank you.

Great job getting things stable within eng fw.. finally can play with the s8 that's been on my desk for a month. It has been a long time since I've had a Samsung device.. but ill pull some things and tinker. Lots of weird tools in the fw ill have to research more about. Good stuff fellas.

Oh, my screen went all green and faded like someone else mentioned but only for about 30 sec. All files came from OP but my CSC does say 955 oddly enough.

In any case, great work everyone!

[Samsung Galaxy S8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] elliwigy:
thats not an issue with the popup lol the pop ups mean nothing really and it isnot stopping you.. most likely your adb isnt set up right or usb debugging is not on or your cables bad etc etc

the error u just posted should tell u exactly what the issue is, your adb isnt seeing the device..

the popups are just logs essentially from securitylogagent and dont actually block stuff

Running into the same issue where the phone would start lagging pretty bad and the settings menu gets a yellow/orange overlay with horizontal fading lines. restarting gets rid of it for a few hours before it comes back again
