Ive successfully installed TWRP on my system. However I was unable to install TWRP 3.1.10 due to a binary error during the flash sequence with ODIN.. TWRP 3.2.10 flashed correctly.

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 the new phone I just buy :P

Also, after the TWRP install, 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?

Thanks a lot for the advice:)
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Xenos7:
This is normal because you flashed something that is not signed by samsung. If you want OTA updates, flash stock firmware via odin.

If you want to root I suggest SuperSU because at my experience at magisk, root always disappears until next reboot. Use SuperSU until this problem with Magisk is fixed.

Edit: It's Magisk problem, not TWRP problem or Note 8 problem.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] VeEuzUKY:
Understood, thanks a lot for the info. The latest SU V2.82 is already one year old, and I found 2 variants with seemingly the same build but different file sizes, SR4-SuperSU-v2.82 and SuperSU-v2.82-201705271822. Not sure which would be better for the Note 8 but I assume either one should work.

Thanks again:)

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] sonhy:
I think it would be super helpful to add to the instructions that, if you have the OEM Unlock issue that you always flash the RMM-State_Bypass_Mesa_v?.zip every time after a rom flash update. just saves one from having to download another stock rom and flash that to get rid of the unofficial binaries error when trying to boot.

you do realize the age of this thread's contents right?

contains oreo data mount fix, twrp menu lag fix, faster sd read/write speeds, otg mount fix and more?:

june 10th 2018

https://github.com/zeroblade1984/samsung_exynos8895/releases/tag/TWRP_OREO_UPD

then install a recent magisk or super su.

most simply install a rom at this point that will already have the above roots.

if oem unlock issue, then wait 7 days redo the procedure without rebooting after first boot following a flashed trwp and root method.

Can you use Team Win Recovery to delete all your data quickly if you think it will be confiscated by customs? They do that these days, not often, but they don't follow the 4th amendment. They will even ask you for your social/email account passwords, although you are not required to give them. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Law_of_the_instrument

Can someone release twrp 3.2.2-0--greatlte? Yes it's out since this month (july)
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] andrew2432:
If you factory reset in twrp does it keep your apps? I know if you wipe cache that's part of it but then your app data idk if twrp can do that directly?? That sounds like settings=>apps=>clear data, a script flashed in twrp could almost certainly handle that as well?? Or a boot script could be made but idk how to do that? The brain powers working now!! And I was gonna say just make a backup, hell bring it with you on a flash drive and restore it later. No way they would see that and move it to your internal storage and twrp restore? Unless you're coming to some hipster competition and certainly shouldnt be 1000 miles from the US....

Edit: you could titanium backup the data and clear it and restore at destination, repeat again through customs?

And leave backup at home base or bring on flash drive?

DUDE just back up your data on the plane and wipe it if/when needed? Are customs going to boot up twrp and restore your data? Thinking too hard on that one....

[MENTION=9045227]efe34[/MENTION], I suppose you just want to have root, right? Bc if you don't, why flashing twrp at all? Well, there may be be additional reason (sound mod for instance)... But still, think twice. :)

Anyway, formating data removes encryption. If encryption is removed, you need kernel, which supports such state. And once should be known from the start : if you do factory reset (from stock recovery for instance), you actually format data and clean cache. And your stock rom works just fine. But factory reset from stock recovery does not remove encryption. So, if you format data from TWRP (encryption removed), your stock rom may work just fine. BUT you need something more: a kernel modification. Bc it has to operate without encryption. Simplest way would be flashing no-verity or... custom kernel of your choice. Last is even more important : if you format data, you always end with clean rom. I mean all your data will be lost (pictures, apps, downloads, whatever).

So the simple answer for how... wold be: format data, reboot to recovery, flash no-verity, reboot to system. All your data will be lost. And the phone will boot just like it was never used b4.

I want to use TWRP in order to back up EFS and the existing stock rom. And also to install a custom rom ,using TWRP.

And than being able to return from the backed up rom to stock rom again with twrp. I was able to manage this when I had note4.

Long story short,

I dont want my existing stock rom to dissapear when I install twrp and root (install super su)

Thanks in advance
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] SimplyCity:
Well, on new Sammy devices all that is possible AFTER formating data. Without it you wouldn't be able to make full TWRP backup... And bc of that, all I wrote in my previous post is up to date. I do not know TWRP's way to backup encrypted stock rom. I personally never used, but I would suggest take a look at Sammy smart switch or any windows app they provide for backups. That may be the way. And one from my own experience : even if I thought as same as you long time ago (when Sammy devices weren't encrypted jet), never got back to stock rom TWRP's backup. :)

Ps. Note4 wasn't encrypted, so there was possible to make full TWRP backup with all data.

Hello. Just wanted to double-check before doing this guide, since I read a few pages back and a couple of posts have noted it's age and minor differences. Is there any major changes or does the OP still hold up fine? I saw the updated .tar posted a few pages back, so I assume I should use that. I also saw the post about doing the key-combo after the flash instead of during. So...basically just wondering-

#1. Can I still follow the OP, aside from using the newer .tar posted on Page 76?

#2. Is Part 2 of the OP still necessary? I'll be receiving a used Note 8 soon, likely factory-reset by the previous owner.

Any input would be appreciated.
