try going in computer options and restart it. It will delete all third party apps and programs so be prepared to lose any non preinstalled computer programs. May take a few hours. Redownload samsung drivers. make sure phone connects. Take odin zips in op unzip directly to c drive. take swpn firm ware extract directly to modified odin. take adb an system root zip, extract directly to c drive. make sure u got usb debug enabled,auto update disabled.In developer settings and in software update settings. now do odin modify. once in it put the regular firmware bl file in bl spot. Now go to options tick first three settings, tick nan erase,an tick phone bootloader. Now replace orginal firm bl file with the swpn bl, then put in the swpn ap,cp,csc.Once done start phone will reboot. once rebooted. Turn of auto update in both settings again. Then i disable wifi,nfc,data,sync,always dispay. put phone lock none, 10 min time out, and turn off auto brightness. plug in chord. go to cdrive. it will say cmd here right click run as adminstrator. do the adb commands. Make sure you get spaces and everything right. If you miss anything in echo line you will not get root.Once phone restarts then disconnect cord wait till after you see su apk in apps. Make sure your odin isnt still open or other computer screens why doing adb.

I rooted AQH3 a week ago and have not had any of the screen issues I had before.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] Lmax579:
I'll try that...that was mind blowing

Welcome to Android! I also was an iOS jailbreaker since the iPhone 3G up until my 6S failed. If you're still wondering, you can get build prop editors on the play store. I use one from Jrummy apps. Just be careful as you could bootloop if you mess something up. I would recommend backing up with Flashfire, smart switch, TiBu or whatever first.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] alexpoe:
I finally figured what I was doing wrong, I didn't have my phone in download mode. Now I have it rooted and everything was going smoothly until I get to the flashfire part. I download it from the play store and click the plus to load the firmware but, it just sits there with a circle showing its trying to open explorer but doesn't open explorer. Can anybody tell me what I'm doing wrong.

Side note I found a way to get past the 24 FRS lockout.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] Lmax579:
I'll do it when I get home thanks bro
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] droseofc:
You have to put phone in airplane mode and flashfire will work
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] SquaredDev:
Back to stock!! Working really good now. Now to find a way to install an app to /system and then be able to unroot and pass safety net... But really glad it isn't bricked.. I was sweating bullets!
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] Obosirow:
I hope this method will work for Note 8.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] MicroMod777:
Yes, Note 8 port please.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] joshclouds:
About 95% sure you error is the root.sh file provided by the original packages to be download you need to download the modified root.sh file on page like 18 or 19 (lazy and don't remember) and you need to go into system root folder and replace root.sh with the modified one and you should be good to go I had the same problem as you! It seems to mount better too not as much trouble but use that file and you should be good too go
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] Lmax579:
I did replace the original root.sh with the one on photo 19 but it didn't help I'll try with the tool patch...i gotta install the adb right?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] thxxda:
Will it work on G955W, Canadian version

I have a W version and would like to root and get cus rom. I have tried to flash twrp, but failed with the following reasons of ''sw rev check fail fused 1 binary 0".

Will the method for American version work on mine ?

Thanks very much!
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] mdiaz33685:
Dude, r u ready to brick ur phone, we don't have twrp, our bootloader is locked down.

Read the OP..
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] tucsonjack:
Ok need some help when i go to abd shell Chmod nothing happens. Some help on this please. See screen shoot.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] Lmax579:
When I use platform-tools, I get this
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] jokono421:
Srry jclouds it will work lmax but i advise not to do it that way. it messes up up your phone speeds and makes it lag over time. Originally I did page 18 an 19 method. after around page 75 elli ,updated op an provided the adb with system root. The phone is way more snapy after redoing root with out the page 18,19 method.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] joshclouds:
Think that is a matter of opinion bc my was as snappy as it was being on stock lol!
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] Lmax579:
So just do the one around page 75?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] jhofseth:
porting

As far as I've read, for it to work on US Note 8, there would need to be a similarily-vulnerable leaked US Note 8 engineering ROM, because the security keys related to secure boot are likely different due to being different devices.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] rogerandgina:
Yes that is what I am on now and done it.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] alexpoe:
Thank you. I did that and all worked out perfect.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] jokono421:
the way in op works best. i was having issue with adb and kept getting issue with phone reboot with no root. think it was a windows 7 issue on hp laptop. An the guy on page 18 actually explianed that method to me. But once I reset computer it took 4hrs to restart and upgraded to windows 8. An i kept the page 18-19 method. Once elli upgraded the op with files. I retried op way and phone worked even better 1st try and everytime I done it so far 1st try. Joshclouds is right its a matter of opion. Like I said I had flashing issues with it that way also. try both an decide.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] Lmax579:
Sounds good I'll get on it...how often do we have to type mount for system to show as rw instead of ro?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] Lmax579:
Which is recommended for this...windows 7 or 10?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] AKETech:
Ok, so I want to re-root since I went back to stock a couple of weeks ago. I saw a post on page 273 about how to get my stock modem back, but I know there's also a way to get my stock csc file working. I know to do steps 1 and 2 to root, and I know that works fine, but after that how do I get my stock csc file to work, or more importantly my system.image file. Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] jokono421:
i had issue you had till i upgraded from 7 to 8 so if someone else wants to comment on 10. Also i count to 35 then type mount. almost every time i get rw selectable 1st time. like I said you should be good if you extract everything to c drive and do it on windows 8 or higher.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] jawonder:
I did it on windows 10 multiple times with any problem.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] Lmax579:
I've been using 7 all this time...can that be why it's not accomplishing root?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] alexpoe:
Does anybody think we will have any flashfire compatible roms for our phone since we have root?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] jokono421:
Soon as Im done with flash fire, the phone goes to welcome screen for setup,just stay there. I plug in usb select always except on phone when I get pop up. Disconnect usb, put phone in download. run regular odin as admin, leave options alone,put userdata file in csc. Plug in phone hit start. Wait for reboot and get back on welcome screen.Plug in usb accept pop up if it reshows,unplug,run odin agian,leave options alone. Put cp in cp, put csc oyn in csc ,phone in download ,plug in start.Wait for reboot,and welcome screen.plug in usb,accept if pop up reshows.Unplug run odin agian. Now this is important make sure first three boxes is checked in odin options. Put home csc in csc ,phone in download mode plug in start. After this reboot you are done set up your phone.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] AKETech:
So go through the steps, 1 and 2, go through with the flashfire steps and then use the above steps and phone will be rooted, but on my own xfinity files?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] criswellc90:
I have done it on Win7 6 times now with no issues or hang ups, even upgraded to AQGL without error.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] jokono421:
yes correct I got xfinity that's how I do it. I use aqgl

. Xposed doesn't work for me though. in flashfire I dnt use jr

kruse system root. I use regular su. I found that xfinity hotspots are not as good if you use his q2 system root. So it was a choice between xposed or better hotspots. I choose better hot spots.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] AKETech:
Awesome, thanks for your help! I was rooted right as the process was originally released, but experienced some issues so I un-rooted. Been following the thread closely, but haven't had a chance to re-root until now. I'm sick and stuck in bed, so I figured I would re-root since I have the time now. I'll let you know how it goes. Thanks again.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] Lmax579:
No matter how many times I type mount, it just doesn't change to rw....getting pissed with this
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] Lmax579:
Look at this sh*t
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] criswellc90:
Somewhere you have missed a step or didn't read through everything expecting it to be as simple as a one-click root, but it isn't.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] Lmax579:
I'm trying to find out what I'm doing wrong....im on the brink of just forgetting about this
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] jhofseth:

Hard to tell from your pic but it looks like you are checking the wrong lines. Can you post a better pic of the whole read out.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] Lmax579:

Did u notice which step it was, just curious that's all. A lot of us were helping,
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] Lmax579:
I would say download the files on the video and use the script that did it for me....
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] jazz995756:
Anyone know how to get rid of the " custom " on boot I restored back to stock with both smart switch and Odin and it still has that logo on boot
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] Wired0980:
Reboot a few times....
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] jazz995756:
I read that last night from an another post and I have done so many times and still no luck
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] DetoxVenom:
HELP. I cant doo step 2 because flash fire is stuck at select file with a infinite loading icon. phone isnt frozen, and i tried to redo the whole process from the start twice and it still doesnt want to open file dir
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] jokono421:
wonder if anyone is as dedicated to rooting there phone in flordia ,like the guy last week in Texas.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] mdiaz33685:

Flashfire, turn on airplane mode, u might to restart..

I un rooted 2 weeks ago to test, after the 1st boot it said Unlocked, I set up some of the phone and restarted, and got my regular boot with T-Mobile. I think when u go back to stock, do nand all erase, just like when we rooted.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] elliwigy:
thats bcuz u guys cannot read.. its clearly in the instructions to go into airplane mode when using ff in part 1....
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] elliwigy:
all u gotta do is replace the build.prop in the root zip..... or change the prop manually however easiest to just root then add the prop edits to new prop n replace it in thezip
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] elliwigy:
LMAO! Made my day haha

but yes, u need to first read very carefully lol, phone does need to b in download mode to flash in odin lol

for second question u needed to again, READ instructions

just funny how u goofed by not reading then second "goof" is bcuz u still didnt read
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] elliwigy:
no... it will not, they are 2 diff devices
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] elliwigy:
not possible unless u get full and real eng firmware
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] elliwigy:
ppl like u are messin ppl up more.. he needs to read and use files in OP which INCLUDES a perfectly working adb and pushes the systemroot folder to the right directory to follow all the instructions in the OP

ppl using various adb versions behave differently so i spevifically included itin the downloaded files to AVOID those issues
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] elliwigy:
u r having trouble bcuz u arent reading or using original files in OP..

wont help anyone not using the provided files including the adb in the downloads....
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] elliwigy:
only op method will be supported, using any otherfiles/methods dont ask for help in this thread lol

and its not a win7/hp thing.. it seems to be an adb thing as theres too many dif. version floating around that behave differently which is why I provide theadb files in OP..

cant force anyone to use em but if they get issues i am going to tell them to read op and use supplied files lol

i cannot help when ppl are usin random files random ppl posted throughtout the thread whove modified stuff and using dif. files bcuz they cant read and follow instruction to start
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] elliwigy:
lol readthe op, that is normal.. i even say exactly what it looks like after each step....
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] elliwigy:
use files in op.. cant help u otherwise.. thats the exact reason i supplied everything needed INCLUDING ADB
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] elliwigy:
do the one in OP or dont ask for help here.. pm whoevers files ur using for help
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] elliwigy:
problem is (not entirely your fault) you are not following instructions in op to theT using files provided in OP..then you come herefor help and multiple ppl are telling you to go here do this or that use these files instead etc so now youre all over the place

your guys back and forth is cluttering and going to cause more issues/confusion when pplhave issues and need help

it shouldnt matter what windows version your on if you use the supplied files and instructions.. from win7 and upshould be 0 issues as ive done it on 7, 8 and 10 using same exact fileswith the same success rate
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] elliwigy:
seriosly bro, read the darn instructions.. im getting frustrated with u getting frustrated when u arent READING

look at what you posted, thats /system/carrier partition

I did all but color code it in the OP and posted exactly what to look for..

you are looking for /system and / to show as rw.. thats it, no other partitions matter at this point in time
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] elliwigy:
i think u should since u cant read.. no offense but its not hard and uve been poating for days now andarent even looking at the right thing in adb lmao smh
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] elliwigy:
only files from op will b supported.. idont knowwhat hemodified orchanged so if u needhelp using his video reach out to him.. the general concept is the same just not sure if he changed anything in the files
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] elliwigy:
yea.. how many days/hrs of his and others time wasted helping him when hedidnt read and was looking at the wrong line in adb lmao wow
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] elliwigy:
i say use files/instructions in op, using otger files/instruction the questions dont go in here...

to add, files in op worked fine, u just didnt read.. it most likely was rw the entire time u were just looking at an entirely dif. partition.. does not say ANYWHERE in op to make sure /carrier partition is rw
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] elliwigy:
then ur not fully restored to stock
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] elliwigy:
read.. search.. turn airplane mode on then ff..

seriously, if ppl read op or even the previous page they wouldnt have any issues or questions
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] joshclouds:
That's funny you say that when I have literally attempted to to use the original root.sh over 10 times each time letting my phone sit for 30 mins and it just sits on boot screen but when I use root.sh from page 18 or 19 it worked instantly???????? I put the same commands in each time so it is most definitely not my error on commands LOL
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] meathammer386:
User error
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] MINTED7:
starting to think people don't know how to read.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] elliwigy:
it most definitely is bcuz countless others have used my files probably thousands of times now with no issues.. i am pretty sure its user error, the numbers dont lie..

in fact the guy u guys were trying to help wasnt even looking at the right partition lmao, clearly user error also...

all im saying is u and others directing ppl to other posts and files that i did not provide should be done through pm bcuz i cannot help if they are not using my files

its bad enough ppl dont read as it is but it makes thingsworse when theyre being pushed n pulled various directions and files etc. and when ppl do read they dont follow the op or use provided files then complain
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] joshclouds:
Not trying to disrespect but there have been many others say the same thing when using the modified root.sh it instantly worked but whatever you say it's been both ways not single sided!! Lol
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] SquaredDev:
I didn't see it in the OP or post 1 with the instructions.. I clicked show all and even ctrl+f "airplane" and still can't find it. Though, in my fault, I should have read all the other posts.. and airplane mode is mentioned there numerous times.. just can't find it clearly in the main instructions. Anywho.. thanks guys for this working root and can't wait to see what comes of it!
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] alexpoe:
I thought I read every bit but, I missed a few things. I fill like a goof. I new before I even started it, that it had to be in DL mode to work and just screw the pooch on that. But every thing is working great now.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] shakan09:
pretty sure you left that part out when you rewrote the op...
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] thxxda:
Thanks. When do u think the bl of g955w will be unlocked ? I used to have a g915w and i flashed twrp successfully, then flashed a cus rom of 915F/FY/G. If I used Odin to flash the whole set of American version(g955), then would i succeed or the bl would stop the action?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] Maurelo23:
Is the 80% issue fixed?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] criswellc90:
I've used the files in the OP multiple times with no errors. Nothing wrong with the files or the developer's methods.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] criswellc90:
If it was fixed, it would be in a previous post, updated in the OP, or have a new thread entirely. You answered your own question by asking it.

I did just notice one problem. Under my storage it says I only have a 16GB internal storage now, instead of the 64 GB that the phone really has. Any ideas?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] jokono421:
just reflash home csc in normal odin and make sure u have the nan erase box checked in option leave other 2 boxes with checkmarks alone. Dont quote me on this but I was told a factory reset also fixes it. I just make sure I check the nan erase box so I dont have to do factory reset.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] elliwigy:
well no matter what anyone says i will not support anyone not using files in the op and you should take it to pm if u are going to tell ppl to use other files not in the op to avoid confusing others and so they can actually get help.. if i could delete those posts i would but it all boils down to user error if the files in the op do not work..

simple as that
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] elliwigy:
no
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] wgorham:
I have done 3 phones and 1 of those several times testing on win 7, 8, and 10. All worked perfectly. The OP method works. The few times I did have an issue it was because I rushed. READ! DON'T RUSH!
