You may need to play around with it a bit but I had issues and worked them out so I can lead you in the right direction.

Make sure you don't flash the HOME_CSC. Flash the CSC file.

Literally guys made my f'ing day!!! Thank you so much, I have followed the original root progress thread day and night literally checking 4 to 5 times daily to check updates!! Again Thank you, you guys are freaking genesis and I have a lot of respect for the hard work ya'll put forth!

NOTE: I'm not sure if this has already been figured out or not, as I did not continue reading every post once I figured it out.. but the people who are having issues with the step where you need to type "adb setsid su or 0" should try this as it worked for me and this was an accidental find but if you get frozen in adb shell - literally just wait 5 minutes or so then go ahead and type exit...you should then not be frozen, but you will still have problems with cmd as it will not spell exit correctly... like they said in the original post just keep typing exit until it spells it correctly!

thats just my 2 cents, and i apologize if this offends any devs!!! Again THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! ya'll are Fu**g awesome!!!

Netflix doesn't work with root FYI does anyone know a workaround, read Netflix was blocked so you can't even see it or install if rooted.

Incredible progress! I had the S8 and switched over to the S8+ the day this came out. Instructions aren't really difficult and I was able to get root. Unfortunately for me personally, 80% battery is a deal breaker, but we have Verizon and Samsung to blame for that one.

Will be following the thread and will likely pledge for a bootloader unlock method. Thanks for the tremendous work!
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] xDMONEYx:
Bro, I have Verizon and was able to get the OP's process with the OP's files to work FOUR times. I am currently running root very stably on my phone. Root isn't wiping anything from your phone in this case, the firmware being used is what is wiping your phone of apps such as Verizon apps. Has nothing to do with root, it's the same as if you were to flash the unlocked firmware to your phone, Verizon apps get wiped because that firmware doesn't have those apps.

That being said, flashing back to stock VZW firmware should work very easily and all apps that check SafetyNet (Pokemon GO) will work again without issue, since the phone will no longer be rooted and will pass SafetyNet.

As far as I know it does. Read the posts and a few AT&T users have successfully rooted and posted.

Thank you for this, the System Root script is cool beans.

I really feel dumb now, because like 5 months ago on my Note 5 I did achieve the unstable root shell spoke of in the OP. At the time I did have a root shell that told me I did not have full job control and I didn't realize what I had at the time. I had a root adb shell that was running under the 'su' context. You've shown me a few things already. I'm hoping that a good comb over of your files might lead me to the next step after that.

Would anyone involved in the root team be able explain to me (In small or full detail really), how the Firmware was modified, yet still able to be flashed with ODIN? Here or by PM please. Like Pretty please! With a cherry!!!

Because if the Stock ODIN will not flash the image, but the modified ODIN of [MENTION=5028474]princecomsy[/MENTION] will still flash the image, what can/cannot be modified? That little tidbit is still lost to me even after days of searching. I will add that I don't care about Network Services. As long as the device boots I'm still a happy camper. I don't use my Phone with any carrier service anyways.

[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] boostnek9:
I'm not part of the root team but I can tell you that nothing was modified in the images. they are Engineering firmwares and I believe already had SU. Then to get your firmware back on, you have flashfire to thank for that.

with flashfire, you're flashing back to stock system.img while adding SU.

somehow my phone charged to 84 percent then it stopped
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] Black89:
Probably won't help you devs but having worked with qualcomm PMIC chipsets in the past typically it will only fast charge to 4.0V then go to normal charging rate. For instance fast charge will be 3A then after 4V it will fall back to 1C or whatever limit ATL or SDI spec their battery can handle which is usually less than 1C like 1800mA. Full charge is 4.35V for the new li-ion batteries (haven't check s8+) Also it only charges from 0C-60C, 0.5C reduced charge rate from 10C-45C. Not sure if the engineering bootloader sets a SOC limit at 80% or it sets the voltage limit i.e. 4.0V when full charge is 4.35V. Charge termination occurs when battery charge current reaches termination current i.e. 200mA. Testing samsung phones in the past they say 100% when they are still charging 500mA.

No one can help you accumulate the prior experience/knowledge that is highly suggested for going through this process. Take some time to read up on ADB and try to learn the process. I realize the desire for root can be pretty intense, but with such an involved root method here, it's not something I suggest rushing into for the sake of it.

Netflix fix has been posted. Search for "Netflix" and read
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] Delgoth:
This is why I said what I did:

Is it modified because it is a Mix & Match flashable tar of SS Firmwares? Or is it modified because the contents are not the exact same as the ENG Binary, but still flashable?

Does the Comsy ODIN, remove a check for the ENG Flag? Or does it still just remove a check for the SHA-1 checksum? Either way, It would be notable to realize how ODIN can be modified in the first place, AND would be awesome to know what about the TAR files doesn't pass a SHA-1 checksum. And why the checksum is no longer passed.

Those 3 questions I've been searching for a long time now, and no real answers. That's why I asked. The work the Root team has done here, seems to speak on their knowledge of the subject(s).

Thank you to everyone for making this possible! This makes me really happy that it was achieved. I cannot wait to see the bootloader get unlocked next so that we can use MagiskHide and such.

Got ya. If this is your very first time using ADB then the picture becomes more clear. No worries!

Just FYI: the files he refers to are the two files you load onto your actual device and flash through flash fire.

sys.image.ext4 (extract this file out of his download, place on device).

And

His posted csc.root.zip (you don't extract anything out of this one, just place the downloaded zip directly onto your device.

In flash fire place the sys.image.ext4 so it is flashed ahead (top of list of items to be flashed) of the csc.root.zip.

Make sure root injection is not enabled in flash fire.

alright I know peeps are busy with RL ... anyway I sent the echo command at 12:13 EST .... how long does it take for the rootfs /system to change to RW ???? its 12:17 EST now
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] joshclouds:
Since no one responds to me and I had to problem solve all by myself I'll be glad to help generally now by no means am I saying I know everything only my own personal dealings is if rootfs is going to be rw then it will happen right after the first time you input mount I have sat there and typed mount over 100 times before and that doesn't do anything in my experience some times you have to start over and that helps also I tried the instructions on page 19 and that's how I finally got rooted bc it got the rootfs to rw on the first few tries and after you type the echo command wait between 15 and 30 sec and then type mount I have felt like that helped my chances in getting it to rw
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] boostnek9:
Did you see what I replied to? I'm not hostile, I'm just not here to hold your hand, no one is.

I keep replying to you about your complaints with everyone's attitude. I'm not hostile, I'm tired of holding hands, this isn't a daycare.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] xDMONEYx:
Pretty sure it vibrates when SuperSU access has been granted, that's what it seemed to be for me anyways. I can't really speak to how buggy it is or isn't supposed to be, I wasn't on it any longer than I needed to be, as I just moved straight into the second part of the process, except I did take the route from page 19 where you flash the system.img of your choice, then the multi CSC file provided. That's the only thing I didn't follow the OP process to a T, but the first part of the process, I followed OP's instructions to a T.

I responded to you and said that it took no more than a minute for rootfs /system to show as RW for me.

No hostility in telling someone who basically insinuates that they have NO IDEA what they are doing to read and learn. This isn't really a school, or a daycare. The guy wasn't simply having issues, he pretty much stated he had no idea what he was doing. Last I checked, it's no one's responsibility here to teach people how to do this stuff from the ground up. People need to put in their own hours and try to learn this stuff on their own. If he actually tries to start the process then needs help with a part of the process, that's different.

[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] xDMONEYx:
Yeah, this happened to me once thus far after flashing the system.img from stock firmware. Happened to me a few times on the eng firmware before I flashed over. Very interesting phenomenon, almost seems as though there is a burn in there as well, of either AOD, lockscreen or boot animation from what I have seen the times it has happened to me.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] matthewd769:
I got it also I forgot to edit the systemroot and blah blah ... anyway I got it ... I just flashed with flashfire the img and the other file .... do you remember ANY difference between the new look after flashfire and what it was like after the intital root process ... so I know if im looking for a different look when its done flashing ??\

HOLY @$%% BATMAN .. I freaked I didn't realize the flashfire screen was so effing dark I almost rebooted the phone

[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] xDMONEYx:
Depending on the process you followed, either the OPs process for the second part, or the steps provided on page 19, you will see different things. But OVERALL, you should really just end up with a stock ROM that is now rooted. I believe if you followed the steps on page 19, you get a ROM that is already a bit debloated and already has BusyBox installed as well. If you don't know what BusyBox is, no worries, it's just required for some root apps to work.

TL;DR Once you flash the img file and the SuperSU file or multiple CSC file, you should boot to a regular stock ROM that will be rooted.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] bill10:
Do you remember when you first starting learning how to root or install custom ROMs? I do and this is why I'm constantly on people regarding how the "New XDA community treats newbys"

I remember a time when people asking questions wasn't a big deal.. you either help them or ignore them. Now it's to the point where if someone asks a question people are more concerned about jumping down there throat than actually what this XDA thread is all about.

This is by far the worst root thread I've ever seen, it's a complete

Joke. I would say 75% of the people are having issues with this root method and because some of the more experienced people don't have a problem with it the problem is they are not following instructions. Are you kidding me? If I was a newbie there is noway in hell I would be able to follow this method without issues. I've been rooting for years and this is by far the most difficult method I've ever seen. If this root method was for advanced users only it should have been stated in the instructions.

Nobody needs to hold anyone's hand and nobody has to help anyone if they don't want to but at least try and remember what it's like to try and figure this stuff out as a newbie. Not so easy.

If you don't know what your doing do not attempt to root this because noone wants to help you is the message that is being sent to these people asking for help.

XDA community?? Don't think so

Do you remember ever asking someone to do this for you because you don't know how in a root thread? I bet the reactions would be very similar.

Now your replies are being taken as disrespect because I've been busting my ads reading over and over and learning what to do while helping people that need help while you come in here and start playing guard dog.

If you don't like this thread then you know what to do to be honest. Now NOBODY turned anyone away for help, only the ones that don't want to do it or can't while not having tried a thing is what was turned away.

We get it, you don't like this attitude and that's fine but this is a root thread, not a feelings thread.
