[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] criswellc90:
It seems as though most people are able to at least able to make it to Step 2 before running in to any issues now, which is fantastic as compared to the whining session we saw in pages 3-60. Once I found some time, i achieved root on the first attempt, got all the way through to the end of Step 2, and have since debloated the device and have thoroughly tested to make sure I didn't uninstall anything to break Samsung's Touchwiz Eco-system. I followed the instructions provided by [MENTION=3812611]elliwigy[/MENTION] to a T and it worked amazingly. Here's what I did that other probably arent doing.

First and foremost: Download all necessary files and software before beginning to look at the directions! This includes the latest Android SDK, Samsung ADB drivers, and the CSC fixes [MENTION=1949695]jrkruse[/MENTION] has provided on pages 18 and 93 of this thread.

Second: Copy the instructions from OP into a word document and print them out. You do not want any applications running other than the ones you are actively using. Meaning once you update your ADB drivers if you use the auto tool, close it when it's done. Do not have a browser open, game running in the background, and I would even suggest pausing any P2P downloads you may have downloading and completely close the client used to download them. This is to ensure as much resource as needed is going towards pushing and manipulating files in the cmd portal.

Third: It is plainly written in the instructions but I will reiterate here. DO NOT COPY AND PASTE INTO CMD. OP instructed to TYPE the commands. You could pick up an extra space or any formatting from the instructions in the OP and that could cause you to not enter the correct command. It takes a total of 3 minutes to do so, and you don't want a browser open anyways.

Having not used an ADB root method in over 3 years and completing this one first try, I can tell you this has actually been one of the easiest ADB scripts to run through and the most effective for the lack of support this device has had for root availability. Please take the time to look at the amount of work this team has put into getting this "unrootable device" rooted, and thank them. Give them the respect of following the instructions provided to you and troubleshooting the issues yourself with the methods they provided before saying this is horse**** and flaming the thread.

I will be buying all of you a beer shortly, or energy drink if you prefer.

Edit1: Something strange has happened.

Edit2: I will be working through the apps over the next few days the make a list of Safe to Remove System Apps for us to use to further debloat our devices. If anyone else wants to work on this, let me know as with my line of work, I don't get a lot of free time, so wiping and starting over being as time consuming as it is, may be a while for me to complete.
