Thank you, I wanted to start with a clean install along with root.

But I may just do what you did and keep my userdata
[Samsung Galaxy S8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] AngelIsL33T:
Yeah man. Oh and, Netflix does not work after rooting as well
[Samsung Galaxy S8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Tugs4life:
Fortunately I don't use Netflix on my phone. Worried snapchat may just randomly stop working though

Highly doubt i did this correctly, needed a little help here

Edit: I done it wrong in the photo (obviously and also pointed out by another member) so i started from scratch and did everything properly, have SuperSU installed and also completed part 2 and have full on root
[Samsung Galaxy S8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] perfectpitch:
In truth I don't know. Thought so. Not sure how to check. Thought I had a good idea of what I was doing but apparently not. I've gone back and flashed stock until my next days off and can start over from scratch. I'll research how to check if they are modded correctly. I'm sure they are not. Just not sure where I'm getting that wrong

quest

So i ran the process and am now rooted but I have a few questions:

I ran through the process w/o checking "Phone Bootloader Update" (it was greyed out); what does that mean and will I encounter any differences overtime?

I am charging to 100%, is this expected? I've discharged below 80% to test and it goes back up to 100%. (I still have root)

What can I do with root? My last rooted phone was the HTC One m7 and things have certainly changed since then. I know of greenify, but what other applications should I use with root?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] TT_Vert:
No flashfire w/ the supersu in OP as well as the system.img from QGL. Then reboot and flash CSC and CP from same QGL using odin. Until those two say QGL you won't get calling plus.

Dav
[Samsung Galaxy S8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] goliath714:
That's exactly what I tried doing. Are you saying that after using FlashFire with QGL system.img and provided supersu, you were able to flash CSC and CP using the same Prince Comsy Odin? Because that's what I did and I got a model mismatch.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] TT_Vert:
Yes you HAVE to do it after rebooting after flashfire. If you get the dismatch remove the .tar from the end of the file so it's just .md5 for both files. Also try the other odin provided as a test.

Please help me <3

After previous commands in part 1 and after 'setsid su', I type exit until it exits, It goes to c:\ in cmd, then I try to run this command..

This command : echo /data/local/tmp/systemroot/remount2.sh > /sys/kernel/uevent_helper

and so I get this error: specified path not found

--------------

I've tried typing exit in unstable shell some 200 times, it only drops to c:\adb\ at some point.. Do i keep typing exit and try to get a different result?

My phone went into

[ UPLOAD MODE ]

KERNEL PANIC!

-> While I was flashing on the very last step. It was during the process of flashing or perhaps after it finished, but stuck in kernel panic mode now. My phone is bricked?

My phone just stuck on kernel panic. I can hold vol up + bixby + power to get phone to reset, but immediatly goes into kernel panic mode, doesn't even show samsung anymore. I can not seem to turn phone off completely.

While in kernel panic mode, i can volume up to reset phone - goes back to kernel panic directly.

While in kernel panic mode, I can volume down, and it just sits on samsung s8 opening screen.

It seems to now be stuck on samsung s8 screen, can not turn phone off or reset..

Currently got it into download mode finally =).. assistance from here please

Going to try to flash stock with odin and start root process over if this is even a good idea, we'll find out haha.

Flashing stock I am using same options in odin, but get the 32% fail, but at least it starts up now..
[Samsung Galaxy S8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Synthio:
Is anyone else not getting Bluetooth prompts when trying to connect devices? Anyway to fix issue without fully rerooting?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] eelsid:
Don't use unstable shell. Run "adb shell setsid su" instead and enter the commands from there. See the S8+ directions for more info.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Duck Quan:
Anyone have a link to the Sprint stock firmware? And not something like samMobile that has crap speeds? Preferably MEGA or something like that. Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy S8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] davidisflash:
In my case I had inadvertantly copied the scripts to /data/local/tmp/systemroot/*systemroot*/

You can always do an ls command to list where you copied the files in the adb shell and confirm the files are in fact there. Tab key on keyboard can help you "preview" the locations too.

Since it's a locked bootloader, I'd presume that boot.img wasn't changed.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] demalii:
davidisflash, thanks for the reply.

I am now stuck in a situation that when after all is done, on last step of flashing, it reboots, starts flashing.. during flashing, I end up getting kernel panic screen... I've redone the whole process using a different ext4 file and it ended up with same result. Any ideas on this?

When I try to reboot, first thing just goes to kernel panic mode.

I've made it to the last step, but it fails me =(((

Panic Msg: CRC error on SDcard SDR104 mode.

I am on at&t s8 950u and I've tried the system.img.ext4 from both these packs..

[Samsung Galaxy S8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Peltevis:
Hey all, im sorry if this is dumb but i bought the S8 coming from a Nexus, so it was quite a ride. I have de Snapdragon variant (G950U1) and I have achived root (Thanks a lot btw). Now that I have root, can I flash a custom recovery? Can I have a custom Rom?

Thanks a lot and sorry, i am quite a noob
[Samsung Galaxy S8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] xBkKx:
No and no - you can modify the TW ROM but no AOSP ROMs.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Peltevis:
Oh! But I can use, for example, Batman Rom? That was based on G955FXXU1AQF7 build.If yes, how should I install it considering im using a Snapdragon S8?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] travperk:
like the brother has answered you RIGHT ABOVE YOUR POST .. you CANNOT FLASH ROMS!!. you can modify your phone using root but you cannot flash roms.. whether they are touchwiz roms or asop roms!!. .

hope that made it clear for ya brother. :angel:

p.s. the bootloader on the international s8 uses the xenos processor and that can be unlocked and you can flash roms. Our s8 uses yhe snapdragon processor and currently the bootloader cannot be unlocked, therefore no roms just yet.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Emorandum:
but it will get unlocked right??... and after that, someone could make a rom right?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] raafaell:
Yes
[Samsung Galaxy S8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] elliwigy:
u can flash custom stock roms.. he cant use that particular rom tho bcuz its for the F variant.. flashfire has always been able to flash stock roms..

any tw based rom that works with our boot.img for our device should work..

i hope that made it clear for ya brother lol

Can the xfinity mobile S8 be rooted with this method?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] travperk:
oh my goodness.. lol! the master brother himself just **** on my quote.. lol and yah, u made it clear brother. . :angel: . and hey, since I got u here, I want to say thank you somuch for the root I really appreciate it. Made my s8 100 times better.. I was getting tired of ads on Youtube :p.. . oh, last thing brother, can u link me to one rom for G95OU1? .. one rom, .. just one .. ?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] elliwigy:
lol i said its possible, not that there was any available yet lol

with root dmverity is essentially disabled which is why modifications to the system partition persist after a reboot.. so technically roms like alliance, 3minit, deodexed w.estock based custom roms should work in theory

i have an s8+ but personally havent made a rom since the s6 edge.. ive been trying to expand my knowledge but its slow moving with lame stuff like work and sleep in the way.. ive been trying to learn about bootloaders and recoeries and initrd and just the android system in general.. theres SO MUCH more than roms to be learned lol
[Samsung Galaxy S8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] illmac:
is it possible to enable free hotspot now? that was the only reason why I rooted my previous nexus 6p and the one thing I'm missing on my s8+
[Samsung Galaxy S8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Saythis:
Would it be technically possible then to take a TW based rom for other variants (F, N, etc) and replace the boot.img with ours then flash in FlashFire?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] elliwigy:
for our device u wouldnt include a boot.img in a rom.zip so remove the boot.img altogether..

but to answer your other question no... they use different processor and theres other differwnces potentially in frameworks and elsewhere.. might need more work to "port" the roms
[Samsung Galaxy S8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Saythis:
Makes sense. :good:

[MENTION=3812611]elliwigy[/MENTION] oem_unlock_supported=1 I remember one user posted a screen before we had root where he readded oem unlock button though it was greyed out, wondering if the switch has been disabled in our boot.img or if the unlock switch calls a systemside program before reaching the bootloader.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] canynballa:
you don't need root for that, you just use shortcut master lite
[Samsung Galaxy S8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] illmac:
Hey thanks for this but I'm stuck. I Google'd the app and how to enable Hotspot but only links popping up are for sprint. Tried it anyway but don't know where to go from the "scroll down to apn settings" part. Is it different for AT&T phones?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] canynballa:
Just download Shortcut Master Lite from the play store then do a search for LTE and find one that says "com.test.LTEfunctionality" select it then select "LTE APN Setting" there should be two APN's select each one and change the APN type to "default, mms,dun" no spaces and select the three dots and hit save. after you did that to both of them reboot your phone and your good to go.

Bootloader is much easier to work on now that we have root. Now, it's kind of like mountain-climbing K2 in Summer instead of Winter! K2 is still K2, and crypto keys we don't have combined with failure meaning no usable phone is still our reality. But, Summer is still better than Winter! :)

I really want to root it. I bought through Verizon. I got stuck after the android restarting after flashing the first four firmware's.

Get latest firmware

After doing step 2 where you flash system from said image in FF, extract bl and AP Tara and flash no_hloc and modem.bin

no_hloc is in bl I think modem.bin is in ap but I can't remember 100% it could be in bl also.

I did this last night and my radio use has been way better. I'll post it if it keeps up along with the boot.img from the latest combo firm which so far after flashing I've had 0 screen issues. If that keeps up it's 2 more bugs squashed!

Modded Odin or use flashfire

Also folks you know the cp of package does not have any ROMs in it just cache so if you load it alone its not doing squat
[Samsung Galaxy S8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] R@j.:
Yes I am on Verizon. I am on the same exact firmware as yours. And also I am following the same video step by step. It is failing not on the flashfire step. I am getting stuck in the first step itself. That is the flashing of the hacked SamPWND firmwares. Thats where it does not boot up properly. I have been getting good feedback so far from people. I will keep on trying just getting worried if I would brick the phone. Thanks.

[Samsung Galaxy S8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] DetoxVenom:
Hello I have the Sprint s8+ rooted with u1 firmware, I have working Xposed and viper4arise. My phone before any flashing of the 2, randomly crashes with a modem error. I find this to happen when I shift between network towers while on the road. Also after flashing viper4arise which works fine, my phone sometimes goes into a infinite boot loop, until I get really lucky. Does anyone have a method to reflash the original soundalive, and remove viper4arise. Or do I need to just reflash and reroot my phone all together. (I pray I don't have to)

I'm also willing to help anyone with questions pertaining to how or what or where as far as rooting, flashing Xposed or viper4arise, or anything else of that matter.

---------- Post added at 11:36 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:33 PM ----------

I get this same error all day, but I noticed that it's if I'm driving around and rarley sitting around. I think it's the changing of tower connection that is causeing the receiver? To fail?

Can you link me to where I can get the files and exactly where to flash them, flashfire, bootloader, etc. Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy S8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] elliwigy:
thats normal.. it should go to 32% then to recovery and if it installed ull see it say it installed package successfully then something about resizing data.. just reboot system
[Samsung Galaxy S8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] partcyborg:
To fix this issue do the following:

1) acquire the entire firmware image for the version that you installed system.img.ext4 with. My guess is if you haven't deleted it you should already have this, if you deleted it that's ok. You can download firmware from http://updato.com/firmware-archive-select-model or from sammobile.com or many other places. Look at "About phone" under settings if you forget which version you are running

2) extract the firmware archive file and you will see a collection of smaller archive files that start with BL, AP, CSC, CP, and maybe USERDATA. Choose the BL file and extract that one.

3) inside there will be a file named something like NON_HLOS.bin this is your LATE modem driver.

4) take the NON_HLOS.bin file AND the CP archive you extracted above and copy them to your phone if they aren't there already.

5) take above file AND the archive and flash them under "flash firmware" in FlashFire. FlashFire will extract the CP archive file and give you options as to what you install. Choose everything it is safe. If you don't know how to use FlashFire (not sure how you got stable root if you don't!) see the thread about fixing screen issues with AQI1 for detailed steps of how

Your phone should flash these and then reboot. Your modem issues should be fixed now. If not, you may have to update your whole system to the latest firmware and system. I can help you with that too if you need.

Hope this helps!

This is my information, I did step 2 but I guess I missed a part. I don't have access to a computer, I did this root at a friend's house. Mines broken, so which firmware exactly or any 55u1 will work? BTW thanks ALOT these random crashes suck. Are you saying I should use my Sprint firmware to get the files or maybe can I just update to lastest firmware, will it keep root. And can I do it with flashfire.

I gawd, please help me lol
[Samsung Galaxy S8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] elliwigy:
so u need to do what he just told u to do except u also need the system.img for w.e stock rom ur gonna use..

start with part 2 of instruction in s8+ sampwnd thread or here, whichevers easier for u to follow.. basically should be able to do it all from Flashfire...

FF in this order in the same session:

1) Wipe (defaults + cachce and formate cache)

2) stock system.img of your choice

3) systemroot.zip (select mount system rw)

4) CP from your rom of choice

5) Non HLOS.bin from your rom of choice

6) Flash away

I think thats all, anyone can chime in if im missing something lol i usually use a different process thats super stable but involves odin (after initial flash n root in FF)

Word of advice though, I never mess with my phone when I dont have access to a PC lol... I went quite a few days in the months long process trying to obtain root with no phone at all bcuz i was messin with stuff while at work lol

its safe to use the latest firmware.. not sure what it is on the s8 but s8+ i used g955u1 AQH3 as my stock files

So cp and bin should come from this as well, basically is the root zip corrupting the 2 files there for they must be reflash?
