Please i am pleading to anyone please help me
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] dr.ketan:
You need to flash stock rom to fix binary error

You have oem issue device. You need to wait 7 days to reappear oem unlock option and you have to follow procedure for oem issue device from op. BTW my rom already have included fix and you can straightway flash rom without rooting separately. Read installation guide from my rom thread.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] adzo73:
Great thanks but 1 question if i may ask please.after i flash rom as you just say will i then need to root for future system access or not?

Hi, do you mean OEM issue NOTE 8 need to wait OEM unlock appear, then I can be restarted, right? Thank you.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] dr.ketan:
If you oem patch while root device then you won't lose oem unlock option and so can reboot right after it . But you can use tool only when you have this option available.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] laserrazer:
Thank you, the OEM patch is included in (ROOT Note8 (exynos) For OEM issue devices) zip folder right?:)
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] maxaiken:
This is for a device that doesn't have OEM unlock - SOLUTION WORKS 100%... phone with root on official firmware. reboot all you want, just like a normal phone.. however....

we will be stuck at a single firmware. if we update even with HOME_CSC option root is lost and we have to wait for 7 days again not to mention, the factory reset.. which means we have to customize the phone again..

is there a solution for upgrading firmware without losing OEM?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] sefrcoko:
No... the fix keeps OEM Unlock from disappearing, but won't make it appear if it's not already visible.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] maxaiken:
i updated the firmware after i have rooted my note 8 to see if oem unlock appear again.. it did not appear.. however, in the download mode.. it says OEM LOCK= OFF... BUT... whenever i try to flash TWRP again, it says official binary, the red thing blah blah... it wont flash and it fails.. why it says oem lock=off but fails when i flash twrp recovery?

several official firmware flashes after, the OEM LOCK=OFF is still the status in the download mode

May be you need to understand better how oem patch works.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] maxaiken:
ok heres what i did..

no oem

wait until oem appear

flashed twrp,format data, flashed oem fix, got root.

on rooted device reboot was not a problem worked flawlessly

i tried to flash a newer official firmware, and was successful

checked oem unlock option, its gone

checked download mode it says OEM LOCK=OFF

flashed TWRP again and it failed..

is there something i missed?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] dr.ketan:
Obviously you missed. This oem patch is not applied for forever but need to flash everytime after flashing rom. You have flashed new firmware and that have removed patch. Now you need to wait till oem unlock option appear.

If anyone want to update a rom here recommended steps

- flash firmware with odin with auto reboot option off

- flash twrp immediately after flashing rom

- reboot to twrp without rebooting to system in between

-flash oem patch + root

Reboot

Now you should have oem option as well root and can reboot device too.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] maxaiken:
thanks for this info. will try this once i get oem back. i am constantly updating my firmware so id like to find a way to flash without doing a factory reset each time.

can we flash the oem patch without doing a factory reset?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] xenix96:
exactly ??

Sorry for a probably newbie question but, the FRP lock, I read the OEM Patch Script from BlackMesa123 and he uploaded a zip to flash that fixes the RMM/FRP lock, preventing your device from locking again, my question is, the N950F_root_OEM_issue_devices.zip uploaded in the first post on this thread for OEM affected devices already included the script from BlackMesa123? I'm not sure if my device was OEM affected, I bought my Exynos Note 8 from Southest Asia, so, if my device wasn't OEM affected and I use the OEM affected method, it won't cause any damage, right? Sorry for my bad English, I'm Brazilian and I'm trying to learn about flashing and this things, I have a little experience with flashing, already flashed 2 devices, but nothing was complicated on them, no FRP lock or similar things, I was thinking, I could try to remove my Google account from my device since it is the only account on this device, just to be safe, to deactivate this FRP lock, an additional safe step to prevent locking up the device, could it be good?

Hi, trying to keep up with the root. I have this Note 8 exynos international edition, it has OEM unlock enabled after 15 days, so I know that I need the OEM fix.

However, I see now that the OTA Oreo is ready for download per a notification. Should I do the OTA update prior to rooting? In the past, I had a Note in which I did an OTA update prior to rooting and then it locked the bootloader and no root.

Please let me know your thoughts as how to proceed. I want both root and the Oreo upgrade.

Thanks in advance for your time.

Do I need to Micor SD for Root my Note 8 ? Can I use External HDD?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Geekser:
I just discovered something interesting regarding OEM missing. Everything I have read has said not to turn off data on the phone during the 7 day period while you are waiting for the OEM unlock to come back.

I have an S8 Plus that I have not been using. I flashed OREO via ODIN and lost OEM Unlock. I turned off the phone and removed the sim card so I could use a different phone for a while - 7 days later, I went back to the S8 Plus and booted it up - went into Developer settings and there was OEM Unlock.

I did have wifi turned on - but I don't even know if that is necessary. I wonder if there is some kind of internal clock that marks time and then opens OEM unlock at the appointed 7 days. In any event, I know for a fact that turning off the phone doesn't matter and you don't even need ot have a sim card in the phone while you are in "Jail" waiting release.

Just thouht I would share.

It should be something within your phone's ID and when you first time connect to internet, it begins to count seven days.

Dear dr.ketan,

I root my Note 8 N950F with your OEM issue files, everything seems to be ok, but sometimes my phone will automatically get stuck for 10 seconds and restart, it should not be software conflict because I just install magisk 15.6 and related xposed installer.

SM-N950F Rooted!

I managed to root my SM-N950F on Oreo. I followed the guide in the first page "ROOT Note8 (exynos) For OEM issue devices". This is my second try tho. First time I bricked my phone with the official binaries message and waited 7 days for "OEM Unlock" to re-appear. This are the questions I can answer:

1. Where is the OEM Patch File and how to flash it?

-The OEM Patch is included in the "N950F_Root_for_OEM_issue_devices.zip" file. Just flash it like the guide says so.

2. Do you need a special TWRP and Magisk files for Oreo?

-Nope, I rooted my phone with the files given in the guide.

3. Some forums say that Magisk in Oreo makes /data encrypt again.

-Well, that was the problem the first time I tried to root. Forgot to FORMAT DATA in TWRP, so the /data was still encrypted. So the second time, I flashed "no-verity-opt-encrypt-5.1.zip" (which disables forced encryption) just in case before flashing Magisk.

4. Does it apply for other models?

-Idk I just have one phone lol. (Probably does)

I hope you don't brick your phone, and if you do, I hope you had a backup, and if you don't, download a new firmware and flash it with ODIN v3.13.1 or latest :good: .

Guys, is there any "way" to get OTA updates after root with TWRP?

I want to root only to use the Camera mod (no custom roms etc.) but I want to have the latest updates as well, is there any "easy" way to do so?

Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] force70:
Lol, umm no.

You will need to flash the stock rom in odin to get the latest which is super easy.. Or at least the bootloader and modem in odin along with a custom rom using the latest base flashed with twrp

Yes of course it will.

Then re flash twrp and root...no big deal
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] dr.ketan:
To be frankly forget about OTA if you want root

I can make a script which can restore stock recovery and unroot device to get OTA but again you likely need to wipe data and even worse part is even you get OTA, you need to full format data including Int storage to re-root device, so it wont make any sense to go this way. Better use custom rom or if you want to stick with stock rooted then try dev base rom by [MENTION=5150393]_alexndr[/MENTION] which is almost stock rom but twrp flashable zip

First off, I used the search box regarding my questions but didn't get any result. People seems to be rude if you repeat a question so if some already asked it before. I am Sorry.

Is it safe to root that way? And do I get all root options using this method? Custom recovery is useless for someone like me and I will have to format my device that way which I don't want to. That's the main reason I am looking to try the 3rd one. Thanks

Samsung Pay may work after unrooted

I have a SM-N950F. At first, I thought my device is not affected by the OEM lock so I just directly flash the SuperSU in twrp.

After three times of reboot, my phone starts to show Only official released binaries are allowed on the very first screen during boot and then turn off automatically.

So I had to flash back to the official system. And when I try to use Samsung Pay, it says the Samsung Pay had been locked, and call 1300362603 to unlock.

I'm currently waiting for the OEM unlock option to appear, but I think someone who needs Samsung Pay may want to have a try.

Is it necessary to leave "oem unlock" activated after root?

I do that question because after checking that everything was fine according to the procedure and doing the restoration of my data, when I rebooted the red sign appeared and I had to go back to the stock rom.

But I'm not sure if I deactivated "oem unlock" or not, I not remember.

Or the problem was caused for data restoration (including settings)?

I do not want to make mistakes again, if I did

(My device is Galaxy Note 8 Oreo with "oem issue")

Sorry for my bad english
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] gatul:
I finally managed to finish the procedure without any subsequent inconveniences.

I think previously several bad decisions were added and that's why it failed.

Accustomed to using SuperSu, I used that method instead of using Magisk. And I think the problem arose from updating SuperSu and wanting to reinstall its binaries.

Anyway and just in case, now I made sure not to disable "Oem unlock" even by mistake and everything works well for now.

If someone can confirm if "Oem unlock" should be enabled or is no longer necessary, I would be very grateful.

Ive successfully installed TWRP on my new Note 8 and everything is still all stock under TW Oreo.

What would you recommend to be the best rooting method, Magisk or SU? Ive always used SU in all my previous Samsung devices and never used Magisk before. I have no idea what I should do and worry to screw-up things instantly:P Also, after the TWRP install (before its rooted yet), I get a message that no system updates are allowed because "the system has been modified in an unauthorized way". Is this normal or/and how to go around it?
