Use adb sideload if you cannot copy the file to the sdcard to flash:

- Open Sideload function in TWRP

- Run this command in cmd: adb sideload N8_Data_mount_fix_Magisk.zip

OK quick question... ok got it to root with supersu but when i reboot after i do work in twrp all went well with root, booting into twrp perfect but when i restart i get these red letters telling i can't boot to twrp or something along this line and i had to odin firmware back to stock.. any ideas???
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] shouren04:
Did you flash dr.ketan's fix for SuperSu?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] S5Sickness:
I didn't see that in the list of steps... it ask about magisk but i chose supersu... if you know of a working updated steps please link... thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] dr.ketan:
May be oem issue, have you flashed oem fix immediately after root?

Check developer option is oem unlock option available? Else you need to wait 7 days to reappear
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] shouren04:
All these TWRP threads for Note 8 are for Nougat, they have not been updated for Oreo. Look at the post right before your initial post & a few before that. There is a link for the data mount issue for TWRP & Oreo. There are 2 different versions that you need to choose based on which root method you are using.

---------- Post added at 02:43 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:40 PM ----------

The red letters, is it in TWRP that mentions something about RO system or can't mount data or do the red letters state something about custom binaries & prevents you from booting to system?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] S5Sickness:
Says only official released binaries are allowed to be flashed this is what pops up when i boot
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] shouren04:
Oh ok, in that case, that would be the OEM lock issue that dr.ketan mentioned.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] S5Sickness:
i flashed the fix for supersu went step by step and i still got this error...
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] shouren04:
That fix is for data mount in TWRP for Oreo. The official binaries is related to the 7day OEM lock issue. There's a fix for that also, look for RMM state fix by blackmesa. I don't recall all the places where it's posted as I don't have the OEM lock issue. I'm sure someone else can chime in & point you to the exact locations.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] _alexndr:
As long as problem may be solved by flashing another recovery - it can't be forced encryption problem (no matter as much the symptoms indicate encrypted /data) - it is logical conclusion. Am I right?

Unfortunately - recovery I am talking nas not been officially released - some guy compiled it from kairi_zeroblade's sorces, without asking, without credist - it was really bad move :(

https://xdaforums.com/galaxy-note-8/development/unofficial-twrp-3-2-1-0-greatlte-t3722198/page10

I haven't tested it personally but in the meantime many feedbacks appeared that it works! (all disscussion in original thread, related to this recovery, has been removed by moderator already...)

[MENTION=3931450]dr.ketan[/MENTION] - I really appreciate your work, your fix is the only one available at the moment :good: ... but the conclusion is only one:

"This is not encryption problem, this is recovery problem with possible workaround in the kernel"

(at least above applies to my ROM, where I'm sure all fstab(s) are patched correctly during install)
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] dr.ketan:
[MENTION=5150393]_alexndr[/MENTION]

Exactly it can be fixed with fstab
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] _alexndr:
If we are talking about stock kernel patched only by Magisk then you are right - fstab(s) need polishing :good:

... but in my ROM I checked already patched kernel many times and problem still exists... and (reportedly) may be solved by flashing leaked recovery (without your fix)

Could you point me to exact fstab change I could miss? I will check it again then :)
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] dr.ketan:
If you flash supersu/magisk on patched kernel, these changes gets vanished. That's why I said this also can be fixed by root but fixed twrp is better solution
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] S5Sickness:
Quick question... If i just odin firmware but when i boot up and restart to odin mode on my phone and it says that oem is off can i still try to root and install twrp as normal or do i need to wait for the oem unlock switch to pop up????
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] shouren04:
You need OEM unlock enabled to flash any custom binaries so no, unfortunately you have to wait.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] S5Sickness:
Ok then.. thanks I guess I will wait..
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] shouren04:
To avoid this next time, be sure to flash the RMM state fix anytime you flash a new rom before booting to the rom.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] SkynetGearhead:

I actually gave up on the idea of ever rooting this phone hence i never looked or followed any posts to guide me on how to root my note 8 Exynos model. If you could be so kind to post step by step a way to root this phone with no OEM available? SM-N950F model. Im not sure whether my country South Africa plays a factor when trying to root my phone. But If these information is what you need, its all here. thanking you in advance. Hopefully after 7 months you might be able to set me free.

Oi I just read 3 posts prior to this post on this thread still nowhere with the "No OEM" issue. Think ima come back 5 months from now. Hopefully then it will look a bit more positive. Oi.:confused:

Dual mod speakers and V4A is not enough

Some on needs to fix the problem with Dolby not working or I will never use Oreo never again this sucks Since Root started I always use Sound Mods on any Android Version this is the first time I ever see something like this problem happens on any Oreo Rom for Note 8 this sucks eventually some one. Could come up for a fix for this Having No Dolby Sucks Smh
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] shouren04:
If your OEM unlock toggle has not appeared after this long, coming back here at a later time isn't going to matter. It's unrelated to TWRP, there's no "fix" in TWRP that will allow you to root if your OEM unlock toggle never appears. There's no method to root with the OEM unlock toggle, you need OEM unlock in order to flash TWRP & root.

OEM unlock has to do with your RMM state. Check out the OEM lock issue threads. I'm not sure exactly how to get it to appear as I don't have the issue on my phone. It may be something like reflashing your stock fw or another region fw to reset your counter so it appears after 7days. If it hasn't appeared in 7 months it probably will never show up by simply just waiting longer.

No Dolby Available for the Oreo Roms On The Note 8

---------- Post added at 07:41 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:41 PM ----------

This sucks
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] shouren04:
Yeah well I can understand your sorrow but all this has nothing with TWRP, won't do any good posting about it in a TWRP thread. Try the discussions section, you may get better exposure over there. But in reality you just gotta wait. There are still many things that are not Oreo compatible yet. One of the reasons why I don't care for Oreo & keep going back to Nougat. Need to give devs time to figure it all out.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] ShamielMiller:
Thanks for your swift reply. I gotta admit it appeared once only. And i set to unlock and I went all the way to fashing but it was unsuccessful. Thereafter I coudnt go back to flashing anything. Some later I tried again and for some reason the phone showed OEM is already unlocked but all the TWRP versions which was available at that time just would not take upto V3. It kept on saying incorrect file or something to that effect. Cant remember exactly. Quite frankly I really got tired the numerous times my phone reset. It was practically almost daily then and i felt I was not moving forward and I couldn't enjoy my expensive phone with all its features hence I stopped trying and made do with the mon-rooted apps available. Since the S9 is out Im getting an itch again.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] miguelr4720:
Thanks for your comments and true hopefully they get it sorted out soon with Dolby on Oreo
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] shouren04:
I'm sure you are familiar with this thread but take a look at this post... and well the entire thread really. In there is info on how to make you OEM unlock appear. Then if/when you do decide to install TWRP/root, be sure to flash the RMM fix so you don't loose OEM unlock.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] ShamielMiller:
Thank but yes thats about the only 2 accounts I always add with my initial set-up. And the OEM didn't appear after 7 days but a few weeks after my setup and also after a few failed attempts to root my phone. It appeared once and never again. And what is the RMM fix?

And trust me when I say when I eventually decided to hold off on this obsession to root my phone, i realised I when I decided to move all my downloads wrt this issue, i downloaded a total almost close to a 100gig of software. That was the kind of obsession I had. Im over it and accept it will maybe happen after the next few new models hit the market.

ok so just tried to flash the new twrp and it says while im in odin mode i get the red letters down to bottom of all the words on the left side of my phone... man i should have bought a dam tmobile phone screw this dam out of usa bullchit
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] shouren04:
What do the red letters say?

First time I've ever heard that! I specifically avoided buying a T-Mobile variant to get the international Exynos. But I guess it is true that if you bought a US phone you wouldn't have these issues cause you wouldn't even be able to install TWRP. :laugh: So long as Samsung Exynos variants have unlocked bootloaders, I will never buy a US Snapdragon!

Did u try and flash without OEM unlock even there and turned on?

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] shouren04:
That's due to RMM state, which means you lost OEM unlock again, which means unfortunately you'll have to wait 7 days again.

In the other TWRP thread, you asked about the button trick. Yes, need to do that & you need to flash RMM fix also.

When OEM unlock comes back, flash the new TWRP in Odin with the button trick. This is required so it reboots directly to TWRP (if you boot to system you'll get screwed again). While in TWRP format data (type yes), then go to reboot menu & reboot back to recovery/TWRP. Now you can flash custom ROM, root, & RMM fix. If keeping stock rom, flash root, then flash RMM fix. Then you can finally reboot to system.

Since you have the OEM lock issue, you ALWAYS need to flash RMM fix to prevent the official binaries error. Remember, anytime you flash a rom in TWRP, always flash RMM fix right after the rom before booting to system. Most custom roms include the RMM fix now but just play it safe and flash RMM fix anyway. That is the key to avoid the official binaries error.

---------- Post added at 07:52 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:24 PM ----------

RMM is Samsung Remote Mobile Manager feature. It's said to be an anti-theft measure & is the cause for the OEM lock/7 day issue. Blackmesa created a flashable zip to remove the feature, aka RMM state fix.

I no sense in repeating so look at my post above. If you follow that method, you should finally be able to root your phone successfully. All that info is in the thread I linked earlier but I know the thread is very long now & tough to search.

And if you meant waiting to get a new phone to root. Well if going with Samsung again, unfortunately this RMM state thing is not going away. The new phone will have the feature also but not all will be affected. Certain variants like the N from Korea are not affected as well as F variants from certain regions that have region lock will not be affected after the region lock is lifted. For example my F is a region locked model from the UK. Seller lifted the region lock while using the phone with a UK sim while still in the UK. My phone does not have the OEM lock issue.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] force70:
Its not that hard, but the amount of user errors on here make it look like it is.

Do your research and read up on things first to ensure you have a good understanding of what your doing to your device.

Then read and follow all directions closely and then execute them 100%.

If you can do that life is much easier, many do the exact opposite then whine and cry nothing is working when it is there own fault.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] andrew2432:
1. Download Odin software

2. Twrp.me and find the twrp for your device and download it. N5100, n5110, n5120 or something.

3. Maybe turn on debugging and what not??

Use Odin, check the ap mode and install the recovery you downloaded.

4. Download a root solution for your device, magisk or SuperSU are the norm

4. Boot to recovery and install the root zip, ta-da!

While that may have worked for old devices, following these vauge instructions won't work on current Samsungs. There are important steps left out that if are not done will cause you not to be able to boot to system & if you suffer from the OEM lock issue it'll put you in jail as well.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] shouren04:
For the unauthorized actions notice, disable or uninstall SecurityLogAgent. It has nothing to do with loosing the OEM toggle though. If you flashed the RMM state fix you should be able to reboot fine. I assume you are using a stock rom cause most custom roms already disable SecurityLogAgent & have RMM state fix. But if you suffer from the OEM lock issue I would flash RMM state fix no matter what.

No I have OEM I used the rmm fix when I rooted have switch I just need some help on how not to brick from th9s point...

How do I disable if I don't have root???
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] shouren04:
Reinstall root or reboot. If you don't want root then use a package disabler app. Magisk is known to loose root & usually roots again fine just by rebooting. Search for the fixes for Magisk to prevent it from loosing root. I use Super Su so I don't remember what the fixes were.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] S5Sickness:
Finally got root... magisk lost and had to reboot to recovery thought I would brick but I didn't... thank God I'm done with this... thanks to the people that help me with what you could...
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Zionator:
Regarding magisk I have found that some modules I use where the cause of me loosing root and had to daily reflash magisk to regain root but as soon as I remove a few suspected modules I never lost root after that again until I reinstalled those modules.

Only a few modules will work on note 8 flawlessly so install one at a time and let it run for a day and if you still have root then move on to next desired module.

Some modules will only cause loss of root in combination with certain others and work fine alone.

I guess it's the hell of trail and error.

Oreo TWRP

Dear friends and readers of this thread

I started to work on oreo recently and read about your comments that the current twrp isn't compatible with oreo.

I got bored at university so I'm releasing the twrp now. I can't test it since I don't have my n8 with me, please let me know if everything works as expected :good:

Hence I decided (again) to build my own twrp version with the latest kernel sources (oreo) and the latest TWRP sources. So we got everything up to date! :fingers-crossed:

The update to oreo is the only change, I haven't changed anything else apart from this.
