root will happen.. [MENTION=4591212]me2151[/MENTION] and the founder are hard at work ironing out the kinks.. similar to SamPWND, patience is key.. no one wants to release something that doesnt work 100% of the time..

With that being said, root was 100% done on a Note 8 and S8/S8+.. they are in the process of ensuring the firmware is up to date and ironing out the process so average users wont have too many issues or hopefully any at all..

So basically be patient, IT IS HAPPENING and of course dont update if any of the firmware is incremented just in case..

For those that dont know, the increment is typically the number in the 5th spot from right to left in the firmware name..

Example:

G955USQU1AQHD

G955USQU"1"AQHD = Revision 1

When you see it change like this:

G955USQU2AQJK

G955USQU"2"AQJK = Revision 2

So rule of thumb, check the number, if stil on 1 then should be safe to upgrade/downgrade to any revision 1 firmwares.. once it hits 2, if you upgrade, you will only be able to upgrade/downgrade to revision 2 firmwares, so wouldnt be able to downgrade to 1..

I am just guessing here but I dont think theyll increment until Oreo (again my opinion so always triple check)

Those also curious, in ODIN mode you should have noticed RPMB FUSE BLOWN... this is intended and how Sammy prevents rollback/downgrades.. the fuses are one time fuses.. meaning once it goes up, cant go back down lol..

There is no Wi-Fi calling anywhere in the settings.. This is why a lot of people say not to buy unlocked because a lot of features disappear.

This is great. And thank you for all of the devs hard at work at making this happen the right way.

Just a sidenote, would someone look at the random rebooting issue happening with adhell 2 on the note 8. You would be a savior to us all. Thank you

I switch form Sprint to an unlock firmware and still got wifi calling
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] borijess:
If you pop in a AT&T sim it will erase that from settings.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] greatg:
Just be aware that Wifi calling button may appear on the phone but some providers only activate the feature on their branded phones. So, even a rooted phone that has wifi calling may not work becuase its IMEI is not recognized as a "branded" phone
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] psychatog64:
What does that have to do with any thing that this is snapdragon not exnyos just cause it's snapdragon doesn't mean the bootloader can never be unlocked that like saying there's not a single u.s. phone that has ever been unlocked when it was originally released with a locked bootloader and also root and bootloaders do by all means fall into one topic since both work hand and hand so STOP with the ignorant comments and let the devs work

No it won't. It should stick to what ever firmware you have installed. But if you Odin the user.data file you will lose it, and gain bloatware back
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] greatg:
Your's works because you got the phone from Sprint. If you purchased from Samsung or elsewhere it may not work.

I see that it's in yours but not on the Verizon model switched to N950U1..
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] BlueFox721:
Try a profile update...or ##SCRTN# To update provision

Did you download the Verizon unlocked firmware or the XAA unlocked firmware? The phone settings May be different...not sure though
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] MrMike2182:
The Verizon unlocked firmware. The ## stuff is blocked on Verizon as usual but can be enabled after rooting.

I do believe you still need root

I'm pretty sure you're right. I can't add it until then since system is not rw.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] smiley45:
Ok so back to root .. I do have a ?.. the other day root was achieve and the only thing was needed was to write up a thread about how to root Snapdragon...yes but 3 days later must mean there is problems that needed work out.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] BlueFox721:
I'd try the activate WiFi calling one...but if not...root or flash carrier Firmware
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] louforgiveno:
Read, it's been explained....

Part of the to-do list was simplifying the process to limit the individual user problems. The method and 'fixes' are being refined/researched.

The picture you refer to was never meant as an ETA. We are all excited, refrain from reading into things.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Mike02z:
It looks like you've been here a while. You should know we NEVER ask for ETA's from the devs. They are doing this in their free time and we will all get root for free at some point. I think it's also important to remember the Note 8 was only officially released less than a month ago. Keep in mind there are different levels of skills here. They need to write it for the novice trying root for the first time. Otherwise, they catch heck for doing something as a service to the community. When someone who has no skills with flashing and bricks their phones then people will complain it was rushed. :confused:

Some folks really need to cool their jets and wait until it's released. Asking directly or in round about ways does not help the dev get done what they need to.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Mehi7:
Lol sounds to me like [MENTION=4591212]me2151[/MENTION] is working on bugs. You should be happy because that means that as soon as the release comes your phone will actually be stable. I remember when kingroot achieved root on the note 4 before the bootloader unlock was achieved. It was laggy buggy and hellish and I know that there was the option to buy SU me and rid yourself of the kingroot app but it was still ugly buggy. Waiting till you have achieved a level of stability is key for success. I don't know about you but I prefer to be able to use my phone once root is achieved. Just be happy and know things are on there way to being better.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] me2151:
Ive been stuck without working root for 2 days due to "pickyness" of this method. You have to do it a certain way or it fails. and we might have finally found the perfect way. So far we are 7/7 for flashing that way. before it was hit or miss. At the time of this typing i am purposfully doing it in a way we know to fail. then I will try to recover using our sofar surefire way to see if it stays strong.

EDIT: 9/9 now. looks like this is the way

I want to learn how to do This so my kids can have rooted phones and be free
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] elliwigy:
its possible to have wifi calling on U1.. when root happens youll see how easy it is lol.. not sure if anyones tried it but you could also try flashing carrier specific Userdata on U1 firmware and it will install all the carrier junk necessary for carrier specific features..

or when rooted you could use preconfig.apk to switch carriers on the fly or better yet make a flashable zip to enable the features you want without all the bloat etc etc

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] jcrompton:
For AT&T there are a couple of carrier specific apps that were in a CSC that were required for WiFi Calling, VoLTE and HD calling features

I know for sure AT&T is a little different than other carriers
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] MrMike2182:
I don't actually need the Wi-Fi calling I was just pointing out that after flashing from N950U to N950U1 that there's no easy way to get the Wi-Fi calling working and as elliwigy said, it has to be rooted before I can add it myself. There is no "settings>advanced Calling on this N950U1 firmware that I've flashed. I only did it just to see if it was possible and to be able to get rid of a lot of bloatware which it did do. Someone asked about the Wi-Fi calling so that's why I've been replying about it.

This is the newer, kinder XDA. You're not allowed to point out the search feature, as suck ass as it's always been, nor that their answer is in the titles of three different threads on the first page. Once upon a time, most of the people here wanted to learn at least a little bit about what they were doing so they could take a stab at fixing their issue themselves.

No. Today's "enthusiast" doesn't have a clue as to why he wants to root his phone, ("I'll just jump off a bridge if I have to listen to music another day without that crappy Viper.") won't take the time to read a thread to make sure he understands what he's supposed to do, in what order, and what others have done to screw up and recover from their screwup. Then they'll band together to post six threads that say pretty much the same thing, which the moderation team is too thinly staffed to clean up as they once did. (But trigger someone and they're all over it. Trust me.)

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] BlueFox721:
Yes...it is said that it will even work for S8 and S8+....SM-N950U and U1 are essentially the same device...the SIM and product code control the contents....in testing for carrier switching (coming soon) I found that all firmwares flashed resulted in same Sprint files because of SPR code from SIM....we just have to be patient for root...:D

Guess what?

I have the exact date as to when. And yes it is very soon... :D
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] me2151:
Yes it will work on u1 models. I'm basing it on xaa firmware to remove bloat however you will need to use the csc from your device to have working service unless you do a csc switch

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Mehi7:
Some people get way serious way too fast and sometimes they need to chill out and wait. It's like what my brother said when our airplane was crashing about 7 years ago. Don't panic because if you panic what difference is it going to make. The plane doesn't care if you panic or not. Its crashing and nothing you do is going to change that. You don't want to die in a panic, do you? He was right if things are out of your control which generally in life they are. Calm down evaluate the situation and if you can not change the course of things then wait. The end always will occur by your will or not.

There is some fortune cookie advice to the people who are fighting on this thread.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] me2151:

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Mike02z:
Yes, right now it will only charge to 80% the last time someone asked the OP. The only way around it is to trickle charge in upload mode.

I use about 65-70% a day and have access to multiple chargers so the 80% is not a big deal to me.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] me2151:
This is correct. 80% isnt a big deal to me either but now that there are multiple devices that will have this its easier to find a fix.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] JonSCSL:
Would it be possible to unroot after you make changes then reroot on demand when necessary?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] me2151:
No. Rooting wipes the device. The ONLY way are are able to have a modified system is because of the factory boot files. The factory boot files are what cause the 80% limit. any changes you do to system with root will be lost when going stock because the phone would be unable to boot. You are able to return to stock with stock tar files though.

To be honest i knew i wanted this phone (coming directly from the Note 7) (will be sending back to Sammy soon) it's an upgrade, it has current os support etc, however the whole process and acceptance that i would probably not have root left me less than excited for this note 8 when in the past the 'knowing' I'd be upgrading really made me excited. This time around it was just a good deal (-$425) but not having root as i do on my note 7 left me less than exuberant.....BUT NOW.....I'm so f*ing happy....i really miss my personal customizations (small but custom)
