Okay if anyone wants to know. I managed to still use snapchat after root!. Once you first flash the phone and your about to give it root and install flash fire and etc. Skips the wizards and install snapchat. Log into snapchat then give yourself root. As you can see you still have root! But with this method if root your going to have to flash again using flash fire so just use titanium Backup and backup snapchat while being log in still and after you are doing flashing the firmware with FF then you can go back into titanium backup and restore. I'm not sure if pokemon go can do the same way but worth a shot.

Whats a typical reboot time after applying the adb root commands and restarting? I waited 30 minutes twice before saying screw it and ODINing back to the start and am now trying again. Verizon s8+ if it matters. Pretty sure I got all the adb commands right as i went through the gibber grief and auto rebooted after applying the last sh. Then it just hung.. forever.

I've custom rom'd and rooted before, usually a 30 minute hang means a forever hang in my experience until ODINing back and trying again.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] Interceptor777:

Bump..... setsid su =permission denied
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] kcsevo:
No. Ok is perfectly correct. I was having a problem also. Now I'm rooted. Basically when you type that line "adb shell setsid su" and press enter. It would seem like it's just hanging. But it's not. You'll see the cursor blinking. Just go ahead and type that line "echo" all the way to "helper" and continue.

You mean when I flashed in Odin? Yes I checked the correct options in Odin. Now in adb I can't get the

Adb shell

ABOVE RESULTS IN PERMISSION DENIED AS WELL AS

adb shell

Setsid su 0

Are those separate commands? Adb shell.... setsid su
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] kclive:
Flashing seemed to go fine for me. Booted up and installed flashfire, started following the guide on the op and everything went fine

Did these steps with no issues:

adb push systemroot /data/local/tmp

adb shell chmod -R 0777 /data/local/tmp

here is where I get the error:

adb shell setsid su" If this command works for you, you will not see dream2qlte or a $/# but if you type "id" it should show you as root, if it does move on to the next command! If for whatever reason it locks up at this part or isn't working, there is a trickier way but still possible. You would type "adb shell setsid su 0" After this command, it will open a shell with a # sign but will say you do not have full job control. You might have to try multiple times but ultimately you want to type "exit" until it accepts the command and drops you into a root shell. You will know when it works as you will see the # and you can type "id" a few times and it will keep saying you are root, once you are in a root shell, move to the next command.

when I try to type in adb shell setsid su I get setsid: exec su: Permission denied

Tried with multiple usb cables and on multiple computers. I am stumped
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] boostnek9:

[MENTION=3812611]elliwigy[/MENTION], was just looking around in our setting all and seen this in the development smali. That ro.frp.pst is looking in /dev/block/persistent. From what I am gathering in that partition there is a prop that would house the ro.boot.other.locked as I don't see that in the default prop of the kernel. Not sure if this is of any help or something you may have already know.

---------- Post added at 04:30 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:43 AM ----------

Okay had an idea and not sure if this will do anything. But in the first screen shot of last post, if I change line 1422 the last 1 to a 0 I get the oem unlock switch in settings since settings is now only being told to remove the switch if that prop is a 1. I am kinda in uncharted waters as I am not sure if anything will even happen if I flip the switch.

[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] jmotyka:
Even if he does flip the switch he would still need to run fastboot commands, ex "fastboot oem unlock" and im sure that it isn't just that simple because Samsung wouldn't make it that simple.

lol we dont have fastboot so thatsnot possible
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] IJoxer:
Try switching it to 1, see what it does. Maybe use CatLog and get some logs from before and after.

But if he flipped the switch and it survived reboot, it may have enabled fastboot...
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] jmotyka:
I never knew that. I follow the thread from time to time. Haven't rooted a device in a couple years. All though I've been doing so since the G1. As much as I'd like to root this device using your method, the shortcomings out weigh the benefits at the present moment. Once a bootloader unlock is achieved is when I dive in. Keep up the good work.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] AddictedToGlass:

Would there be anyway to flash twrp with Odin with oem unlock enabled?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] Tyler4256:
So good news I got my phone back to stock! Yeah I have a Windows 7 computer with only 2 gb of ram on board. But I flashed stock Rom and that was a "treat in itself".

How it's unstable:

1. For me it only temp rooted, so if I restarted my device then I would lose root

2. When it was "rooted" it would act up, on two instances with the first being when I used flash fire it would grant root access. But when I tried to load my ota/flash zip it would just sit their trying to load my system storage but it would never come up. Then I closed the app and tried again. Well I couldn't get root access anymore for the app. So I thought I lost root access and so I downloaded root checker. Well SU would say it gave root checker access but root checker would just sit their trying to load in whether or not my phone had root. So I restarted the phone and I no longer had SU installed and I lost root access. So I pulled up the CMD prompt and did the process again to gain root.

3. When it was rooted and "non-rooted" Google chrome would act up. So when I would add/close tabs a orange line would show around the edge of the phone as I closed/opened tabs. To further explain, on this phone we have a setting called edge lighting well it lights up blue around the edge when we get notifications. Well the orange lighting did the exact same thing when closing/opening tabs in Google chrome.

4. When it was on the custom roms that we flashed in Odin. Well there were these apps that seemed pointless, one of them were called "app inspector"

5. When it was rooted it said Knox was alerted(via notification) and that it was blocking my access.

6. Lastly I got another notification asking to make a dump file on my sd card. Which got annoying as I couldn't get it to go away.

Then the process back to stock was a little problem. I have pictures of the Knox and sd card dumb file notifications if you would like to see them.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] pimpmaneaton:
That is what I am hoping but just getting the switch to show and trun on and remain on my not be doing anything for our devices. Unfortunately I have limited knowledge of the inner working of the binaries and am just hoping this will help [MENTION=3812611]elliwigy[/MENTION]
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] THE GEEK 19:
Hey guys, found this document about breaking secure boot through Download Mode and ODIN. Could this be what you guys are looking for? They talk about setting the SD-card as the active memory storage rather than internal storage so then you can boot TWRP from the SD-Card. Don't know if that's still possible but it's worth a try. I can't test it as my phone isn't rooted anymore. I'll root again soon, when I have time to do a little more research. Hope this helps a bit.

I only work on it in my spare time (which is not much most of the time) and I'm sure others are probably in the same boat as me. Last I heard we know what files/modules ect need to be changed but it is Kernel related so we need a unlocked bootloader or a patch so the phone will still boot after messing with those files/modules ect.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] bill10:
People there is no fix. You want 100% battery simple,don't root.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] elliwigy:
you are correct.. there isnt any patching those files since they are loaded at boot by the kernel so only way to truely patch is an unlock
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] ScottBroker:
Until this is done, I see NO BENEFIT of root as whatever I may gain by removing bloat, will be lost with 20% less battery.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] TheBigEasy88:
Thanks for the opinion but I see NO BENEFIT posting the same opinion in numerous threads. The posters in this thread either are rooted or are trying to achieve root. Hating on the 80% can be done in your diary. :p

[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] elliwigy:

i dont even notice 20% difference.. i can still go 2 days with my usage on 80% charge
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] jhofseth:
It really does charge past 80 in upload mode, just not fast charge....slow

Upload mode does work, people are just spoiled by fast charge. It's old-school slow but it will get you beyond.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] AddictedToGlass:
Wait.

The battery only goes up to 80%?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] 94tbird:
wouldn't the same be achieved by charging with the phone powered off? Wouldn't the phone charge properly if the boot settings weren't applied by not having the phone powered on?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] elliwigy:
haha
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] elliwigy:
no.. the bootloader is still initiated when its powered off it just loads in charger mode.. basically if powered off simply giving it power by plugging it in the bl needs to start the pmic i think it isto power the device..

theres just something about upload mode that allows it to work
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] AddictedToGlass:
Do you know whether the battery is at only 80% capacity, or if the calibration is off and it's really actually at 100% charge when it just reads as 80? I don't recall reading a straight answer on that.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] partcyborg:
I have been having a ton of problems with flashfire and granting root access. What finally SEEMS to have made it better is

**EDIT** damnit nevermind, it's still giving me trouble. Every other app works fine though so I'm doubtful that it's a root issue.

I have NOT tested this extensively so YMMV and be sure to take a backup in case it does not work and you need to reinstall!

---------- Post added at 10:37 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:34 PM ----------

It's really at 80%. Several of us have been looking at this very closely
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] hazmad:
It's a real 80%. I thought it was a fake 80% at first too. The boot img leads you to believe that it gets down scaled to 8/10. But after some testing between stock and eng boot, I've come to the conclusion that it actually gets capped at 80. stock boot will charge to 100%. Eng boot just stops charging at 80%.

It's a good trade-off - root, but 80% battery. Those who are complaining about this, should just wait until (if ever) bootloader is unlocked

Much like the "missing link", this is a question that has scientists of our modern era stumped. Many believe the mystical "bootloader unlock" to be purely myth, while many other experts point to recent archeological finds as evidence that not only did the bootloader unlock once exist, it was commonplace!

The sad reality is we may never know if there once was a bootloader unlock, too much has been lost to the sands of time. Will bootloader unlock ever come again? That is a question even cutting edge science can not even begin to address.

What do you think?

[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] AddictedToGlass:
Straight forward question about something that one who was working on a solution to this issue might know, that's all.

Would make sense to me that one trying to figure this out might've done a controlled study to measure charge and discharge times in both rooted and non-rooted devices to better understand it.

Anybody experience heat issues while charging in quick charge mode? I just turned it off and it's no longer hot, but it could be a fluke.
