Permission denied. gibberish lines bla bla are all unstable $,#. Try disconnecting usb at 2nd try then connect on third try, type adb shell, the setsid su 0, keep on hitting exit, then in blank lines type "id" then # will be shown. You have to figure out the method, which best works for you.

[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] fademaydarkness:
at first when you hit mount, on the first line you can see ro rootfs or rw rootfs. When you`re "rw rootfs". move to the next line.

Look at page 19. If, you are stuck on boot logo. when typing mount you should look for "rw rootfs" on the first line after the mount. If its, still "ro rootfs" . You need to try again. look at page 19

Just a suggestion for everyone based on the recent posts - It might be a good idea to save your device's imei & serial number to your Dropbox or Drive account or email it to yourself etc - Just make sure that you have it saved somewhere that doesn't depend on you being able to turn your phone on ?

Did you try flashing the files while in Emergency Mode ?. On the Note8 when doing the root (SamFail) you could flash the files in Odin in this mode including a regular stock CSC .

Just quit and restart Odin and try flashing them .

So probably newb question.

I have my Samsung note tab rooted primarily to change the font and boot animation. Is it worth rooting this phone just for those reasons? I do use Netflix on here, but can sideload updates from my tablet since I run magisk on there. My big concern is the crazy 80% max bat charge I hear everyone talking about. I do construction and rely on my phone for business and so can't have it dying half thru my day...
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] sabresfan:
I think it's worth rooting but that's just me. I get through the day with fine with moderate usage. I also bought a battery case that I use when it gets to about 10% but that's not often.

I know this is the s8 plus root thread but had a question similar to a situation I had when I had my Sprint s8 plus. I now have the sprint note 8. I've rooted with the samFail method. Now I'm obviously on U1 firmware now since the root and I've lost all Sprint apps which is good because I don't need them all. But I'm trying to obtain the sprint zone app and sprint visual voicemail app. I was told to flash the user data tar from sprints latest fw in which I did with Odin. It did wipe my phone but I didn't get all the sprint apps. I thought there was something else I did before on my s8 plus to get phone back to U firmware after rooting and to get the Sprint apps back. Any help?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] Quickvic30:
If you flash the U (not U1) system.ext4.img, CP, and Sprint CSC that should get all your sprint apps back to your phone and retain root. Use FF for the system.ext4.img and then use Odin for the CP and CSC.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] Wacky2bakky:
Any certain order? Also don't I need to flash superuser.zip with system.ex4.img in FF?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] sabunimwil:
Trying to find the "U" version. I'm experiencing the modem crashes and according to your response getting the U instead of U1 might fix it.

I googled "AQGL U" with galaxy s8 plus and got nothing. Do you have a link to it by chance?

Anyone know how to switch carriers with the rom control app installed/ or any other method with root. Trying to put my tmk metro sim card in and it says no sim card switching from Sprint?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] Quickvic30:
So it's a Sprint phone? You'll need to get it unlocked if it is before it will work on other carriers network.

If your simply looking to change carrier specific bloat, splash boot screen, lte icons ect follow the adb instructions in the carrier switching threads. I've been messing with it and it seems hit or miss sometimes.

You can also use root explorer with rw permissions and navigate to /efs/imei and change the mps_code.dat to "XXX" whatever carrier specific code your looking for and reboot.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] shaggyskunk:
My guess is that you have to SIM Unlock your phone - sammobile.com offers a SIM Unlock Service (I'm sure that there's others - So check around until you find one that suits you).

Don't forget to Click on the Thanks button for [MENTION=3247246]jawonder[/MENTION]'s post for saving your bacon - Or just switching Carriers would be the least of your concerns ??

Flashing process won't start

I have literally tried everything I can think of. I am out of ideas. Odin recognizes the phone. I'm even able to see the phone in ADB Shell. Also, my post count doesn't show it, but I've been around for a while. So, yes I've searched.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] elliwigy:
this is actually not correct lol adb is secure the entire time.. if u look in build prop it even says ro.adb.secure=1

SamPWND utilizing an ENG firmware with SU binary in xbin.. we then use setsid binary with su to gain a root shell and THEN we use a years old method by pushing the remount/root script through uevent_helper which essentially makimg the kernel root the device.. and now after flashing the firmware in odin the pushing, remount and root is all done in a 1 clickish method so only the odin part is what takes the longest

SamFAIL uses a pre rooted system.img.ext4.. flash in odin, it will fail but afterwards they then flash the same type combo files and other partitions to have it boot.

The big difference would be SamFAIL is somewhat unstable as many have a hard time since it is prone to not mounting properly so sometimes you need to try multiple times whereas SamPWND uses signed firmware that is unmodified so it simply works each time..

The Note 8 doesnt have an eng firmware to use so SamFAIL is their only option as well as it can potentially work on other devices that dont have root until sammy patches something somehow.. would b hard since we can always use an older odin if they update odin
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] elliwigy:
what??

the end result is the same on either device.. note 8 method uses simillar combo firm so same 80% battery limit..

i am a bit confused what u even mean lmao
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] elliwigy:
There is SamFAIL for S8.. its not a note 8 only method. this is also s8+ root thread, not s8.. so either use method in S8 SamFAIL thread or s8 method in SamPWND S8 thread

either should work but might take muktiple attempts with SamFAIL
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] elliwigy:
yes but on s8 use s8 thread for SamPWND firmware.. the root zip from here will work tho
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] elliwigy:

[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] arnshrty:
Thanks, for the smartass reply. Why would I be trying to use Odin for this if I wasn't in download mode? You might want to learn peoples background before being a quippy dickhead. A lot of us have probably been working with linux before you were even a thought.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] elliwigy:
lol maybe you should learn to be more clear and also learn to not use profanity in a public forum..

you stated your device is seen in odin and in adb... if you aee in download mode it wouldnt be recognized in adb.. this is common sense..

and again, no one cares about post count, if you think you know it all because you know "linux" then why are you asking for help?

If you cant be polite or use proper forum etiquette then maybe you should go find another root method.. i could care less about your background.. your "issue" hasbeen brought up multiple times and 99% of the time its been user error and i doubt this isany different.. u commented asking for help and i replied based on what you typed then you get offended?? lmaooo

Forgive me PLEASE!

You have lots of thanks which must mean you know what you're talking about. I went to samimobile and downloaded the most recent firmware. I unzipped it and booted into download mode. Then I opened stock odin and attempted to load each module into the correct sections. BL loads just fine but odin freezes when I load AP, every time.

So I went back and re-read the directions yet again to make sure I knew I was doing it right.

I don't know what I am doing wrong so if you could please give me a hand it would be greatly appreciated.

I'm fine returning to stock at this point but I'd rather stay rooted. But being rooted I keep getting the Modem Crash like many others. I searched in this thread for Modem Crash but none of the answers helped.

After downloading the firmware use 7zip to extract the firmware file. One of the extracted files will be named AP, use 7zip again and extract the AP file and the result will be the needed system.img.ext4 file. Last time I'm responding to you about this. You want success follow the above steps!

Silly comment, experience/preference doesn't fall into right or wrong, it is simply experience/preference.

With that said, if you're experiencing poor battery life with root, there's usually a cause - half the time it's that you are so excited to have root that you use your device far more often than you otherwise were for a short time.

The other half of the time is usually poor maintenance and/or upkeep, or using outdated and unnecessary apps such as greenify. (In my experience with greenify - while very likely to have been mismanagement - greenify destroyed my battery. Once I removed that, and properly configured my built-in advanced battery settings, I went from several hours per charge to several days.) My 80% max can comfortably last me 2 and a half days. On top of this, I am running a VPN with a 12-second keepalive for... Reasons. So my connection never sleeps or dozes, preventing my phone from ever going into that sweet sweet ultra low battery consumption mode - and yet I still get 2+ days from my charge.

If this is not your experience that's ok, just know it is easily attained and you simply have to take the time to review what, frankly, you're doing wrong Frank.
