Hey everyone,

I've been out of the Android loop for a while and just picked up an S8. Been reading through the many pages on this thread and am trying to figure out how to tell what version of BL I am running by the firmware version. Can someone please let me know if I am on v.1 or v.2? Firmware is G950USQU1AQDE.

Thanks in advance. This is my first Android phone since the S4. Gotta admit I miss those days when root and custom ROMs were so much easier.

[Samsung Galaxy S8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Haswell4200:
I believe it's in settings, or when you select what you want to flash.

Does anybody know if this will work with Oreo?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] HighOnLinux:
You're on bootloader version 1 so this root method will work for you

[Samsung Galaxy S8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Pochofeo:
S8 tried everything to root. Is it a locked boot loader ?

I have an S8 g950u1 tmobile I've used the BL2 and two others and there seems to be no way for me to root the phone. I read That it's probably because of a locked bootloader however I do not have the OEM bootloader unlock option in developer options. How can I check for sure if that is the problem and do you have any suggestions for fixing it if it is?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] HighOnLinux:
The bootloaders will stay locked for a long time actually, and that option in developer options isn't available to the US models of the S8 and S8+. For a stable bl2 root, check out partcyborg's thread. The ROM he made with root is very stable and crisp.

correction. i just looked and i was wrong about the build. i have BL1 not BL2. so in that case what is the the most fool-proof path to a rooted phone?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] HighOnLinux:
Going on partcyborg's thread still. He has download links for bl1 firmware and bl2 firmware and after downloading it, just follow the procedure in the OP of the thread and you'll successfully get root :D

Edit: i happened to come back and look at the logs you provided again, it seems you're trying to flash fw with a earlier bootloader and since samsung implemented an anti-rollback sort of thing in their Phones, you can't downgrade if the fw's bootloader version is earlier than the current one (ex. Can't downgrade to bl1 if you're on bl2 or newer)
[Samsung Galaxy S8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Will822:
Thanks DaNamesFrank. One last question, if I am reading the procedures correctly, this will wipe my device correct? Since I am coming from an iPhone, would I be able to use Smart Switch to restore from an iTunes backup?

Thanks in advance.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] HighOnLinux:
Correct. This will wipe your device and will bring you to a different firmware, known as the engineering firmware. Now for the smart switch part, it may tell you that the device is unsupported i believe. I haven't tried it for a while so i can't give you a solid answer.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Will822:
Thanks again. It's not a not a big deal as all of my music, photos, and videos are on the SD card. I can always just re-download my apps.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] SirSoviet:
Source?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] HighOnLinux:
No sources but just a theory from me and a couple of others. So kind of a biased conclusion on my part when it comes to the bootloader

can any one tell me what this notification is and how to get rid of it, it comes every time i text get a call, got the rom rooted on tmobile BQL1 I feel like it has something to do with the csc. I had tried Party Cyborg rom and had this pop up as well after i reflashed that rom upon start up i would get a message to reset phone due to sim change and that would take care of that. But it even happens on my own rooted mod too. the devil notification
[Samsung Galaxy S8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Will822:
Hey guys,

So I made the mistake of updating the firmware on my S8 today. Can anyone let me know if firmware G950USQU1AQEF is still on bootloader v1?

Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] thejackalsmark:
5th character from the end, usually indicates BL version. In your case, 1AQEF=1 so your BL should be version 1, that's correct. ?

Just out of curiosity, what carrier are you with that you are still getting bootloader version 1 updates at this point?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Will822:
I am on AT&T. I just purchased the S8 last week directly from Samsung. When I went to check for updates, this was the firmware that was installed on the phone.

Through my digging sm-g950u uses "Toshiba THGBF7G9L4LBATR 64 GB universal Flash storage", that contains the RPMB from how I've understood, question is though, can we install factory blank THGBF7G9L4LBATR to bypass Qualcomm Secureboot as the RPMB wouldnt be provisoned?

I is the root process and have SU and root privileges but I thought the battery didn't go past 80%. Mine charged last night to 85%. Any reason why mine is going 5% past what it is suppose to?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] thejackalsmark:
It can fluctuate a little bit but it won't be consistent or anywhere near 100% if you have a locked bootloader.

Thanks for the quick response [MENTION=2738284]thejackalsmark[/MENTION] I just got a little excited when I seen an extra 5% battery life haha.

The only other question. For some reason at random times it seems my display kind of glitches. Like white is not white. Sometimes it's almost like a creamy color with lines. It's not all the time just randomly and then goes back to normal. Usually only last a few seconds or until I hit a button to change apps or screens.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] thejackalsmark:
If you have AOD enabled and it's happening right after turning your screen off and immediately turning it back on it's a known thing.

Only solution for that instance is to disable AOD or wait longer when turning screen off before turning it back on.

if it isn't that then I'm not sure.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Jnoble313:
I do have AOD enabled and now that you mention it I believe the instances were after turning the screen off then right back on. I'll have to keep an eye out for the next time it happens.

Thanks for all of your help [MENTION=2738284]thejackalsmark[/MENTION] I appreciate it.

[Samsung Galaxy S8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Cmon meow:
I don't have 955u, just 950u, this worked for me, though I liked the eng version so I skipped the flasfire procedure because it can cause you to start all over, yes I failed once. I poked and proded every feature of this phone, and still was able to return to stock without voiding warranty bit, pay/health works after returning, but wont work on rooted phone. I'm only on stock because I'm debating buying an F model motherboard. The bootloader is the only way to brick the phone, but likewise it'd be difficult to do as the phone seems to load the full rom before flashing to prevent errors.

Reset

So it looks like there is no way to do the root without resetting the phone, huh?

Because the whole reason I wanted to root, was to be able to do a deeper scan to recover some deleted files from internal memory.. All the deep recovery apps and software that work best require root.

Nope neither root method both require fac reset

Okay maybe just maybe you should change the title to v1 bootloader only, did not find out till I read over 150 posts, then I get go to PartCyborg for version 2, yeah I know been there done that but I don't need a custom rom with all the bells and whistles and sound mods I won't use, I just want my stock rom rooted so I can delete what I want.... So is there going to be a version 2 upgrade coming to SamPWND, just curious... after all I went through to get failed errors to figure out I was the loser and my new S8 sucks because its not pre 2018. At least I tried but can't verify your great work... but you get a Thanks anyway for what you have done here... great work....

[Samsung Galaxy S8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] MindTrix:
I get this concept and its very nice indeed, I am on it, but now after I tweak out my stock firmware to my liking and then I go and unroot through SU Settings within, then with this I could make a TAR with the original stock devcfg abl boot and recovery from the stock firmware I am on and then flash it and be 100% stock but with all my modifications in tact with no signs of ever being rooted??? so I can be enforcing not permissive on SELinux... oh wait I got rid of root so flashing in FF would not work at this point... ooppss hmm , could this TAR be flashed in ODIN ?? I am on the newest firmware so I disabled updates so my phone will always be forever on this rom. I need for root to be gone so I can use apps that check and get samsung pay back as well.. but I want to keep my mods... damn..
