Has anyone gotten PS4 remote play working with their s8+?

And after using this method of rooting of course.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] elliwigy:
this is a root only thread.. please stay on topic.. you should be able to ask in the general section?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] lightninbug:
There is NO WHERE else to ask this question. I couldn't ask on the ps4 remote play thread because those users haven't used "our" method of rooting.. I was curious if anyone else in this thread uses ps4 remote play successfully with the s8+, as certain rooting methods don't work... Why all the damn hatred?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] elliwigy:
our method of rooting doesnt make a difference.. root is root so id ay the ps4 remote play thread is the perfect place to ask..

itsnot hatred, this is a root only thread for ppl to ask questions if they have trouble with using SamPWND root..

not a battery thread, ps4 remote play thread, xposed thread etc etc.. just politely asked to stick to rooting only.. 75% of this thread is probably non root related.. I think to thepoibt whereI am going to have amod lock the thread because its out of hand and lately its been entirely out of control..

so that is what ill do now, pm the mod to lock it and if people have root questions they can search through the 100s of pages here

I cannot keep up with the repeated questions and non SamPWND questions and seems ppl just like to argue and debate
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] elliwigy:
I have sent a request to have the thread locked until further notice and added it to the OP.

Please do not use our files/method without permission.

If I decide to post the updated SamPWND firmware or a SamFAIL thread I will either unlock it temporarily or I will create a new thread if the latter.

Enjoy Root!

Nope. You don`t need too. just tick auto reboot and f. reset. You should be fine. If, it somehow does not, use repartition using the csc file in csc tab. Thats it. tick re partition, when its not getting you to flash.

Finally, finished all the steps

I was one of the first to try to root the phone, when it came out early in the morning and by golly I finally finished both parts of the root.

This was not the hardest to get root(steps), i think the my Evo was harder. Anyways, the directions for this will get better and hopefully there will be adb batch files to do CMD part of the root, make it much easier. Also, the flashfire directions need to improve. Time will fix all

I used an adb called "Minimal adb and Fastboot". That part can be very frustrating to get done.

Makes sure your phone does not get disconnected, if you hear beeps from your computer, then you will need to figure out why your phone does not have a stable connection. Mine had some issues with connection problems and I cleaned my phones port, that helped alot and don't bump the USB cord.

Also, something I had not heard yet and I saw some people having issues with flash fire hanging up and just displaying the circle animation. I found that restarting my phone fixed that issue, every time.

Try to just open a command prompt using alt+r then cmd, navigate to your adb directory i.e. "cd c:\adb" then adb devices to see if you're good

Disregard this and carry-on to the 2nd portion of the process it will be gone then. This is just an eng-fw message you need to finish the process you're not done yet.

Oh.. edit the root.sh file in your adb/systemroot folder so all "/systemroot" entries are deleted. Use notepad. Also for the last 2 commands delete system root out of those as well.

[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] theboz1419:
Your pic was not viewable, but what problem are you having with flashfire? Correction, I see it now.

Make sure you set flashfire in SU and turn on the Pro setting in SU. Also, restarting the phone also helps.

If you followed the steps correctly and you start flashfire and you click the + and then you get nothing, you need to restart your phone. That will fix that issue, it has for me 3 times I rooted my phone today.

Total is 7020 in size right? then do the -R command it only works when i type -R 0777/ instead of a space between the 7and / . After line it runs. Now did I do the next steps right if it shows the dreaml2her..... and first symbol next to is #. Cause if so I get the rest of command lines entered an get my auto reboot with no root afterwards. If I do the exit method till I drop to shell I get blank line and cant get the last command lines to work an reboot. I seen someone say to take systemroot out of files I extracted using the notepad. Is this maybe the fix I need to do. Also in the echo command at end. > in the middle do I put that all as one line? With arrow included an if so are there spaces on each side of it.

For the record, I haven't had much time to try sticking the card back in since I finished the root process, so I don't know for sure that it still wont work for me. I'll try it layer today, when I get a chance to play more.

EDIT: I definitely don't see anyone else having this problem, so my guess it's is either a rare one or we both fudged the same thing somewhere.

[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] LaughDonor:
Jeez, finally read every single post here. So much clutter, I wish my post wasn't going to add to it. Anyway...

I used to have this issue, it could have been cause I was using a corporate laptop (enterprise restrictions?). I switched to my personal laptop, and it literally

zipped right through

the flashing process. I reinstalled the Samsung USB Drivers and restarted. One thing to remember is that for every time you restart the flashing in ODIN, you must reenter Download Mode via. Vol. Down + Bixby + Power (can do it while already in Download Mode). This is what it should look like; the process should begin immediately without "waiting" on any steps.

That's the symbol for Voice Over LTE.

[MENTION=1949695]jrkruse[/MENTION], thanks for uploading the ext4 and multicarrier CSC. However, when I used it; I don't have busybox installed, and the app couldn't install it either in /system/xbin or /system/bin. What am I missing?

Took a bit of fidgeting, but I got root to stick during the "setsid su 0" portion. Perhaps someone can create a short gif of what it looks like and post it. The main thing to remember is that you'll be working with 2 different prompts: 1) The command prompt, when you are in your computer's Windows domain and utilize adb. 2) The android debug bridge shell, when you are trying to check for root status by checking if you get a $ (not-root) or # (root) prompt. OP did not mention that typing "adb shell <command>" does not enter the adb prompt, that's why it's split on multiple lines when you need to type "id", "mount", or anything else meant for the android device.

Why not install something like Hide My Root to get around this?

For anyone that has noticed this. As OP stated for this part. "You might see some not found messages at the end of the script, this is fine. The phone should reboot automagically." This is expected, don't worry about it.

[MENTION=3812611]elliwigy[/MENTION], what's the point of having both PrinceComsey and Normal ODIN versions? I used only the former and it worked just fine (also, updating your odin.ini in that package would certainly help future rooters with the default options updated).

I'm a bit lazy right now, but if we flashed the CSC from the SAMPWND package what would we get? Is that the basic VZW one with all the bloated apps?

[MENTION=5922715]DarkXoa[/MENTION] and anyone else, I have an external SD Card, and there have been no issues.

I've opened and used Snapchat without any hiccups after obtaining root. I did create a TiB of it just before Phase 2, but I didn't need it.
