Oh, maybe I did something wrong. After the 32% thing, I'm in recovery, then I wipe my data/partition. Then I press reboot to system. Then it shows the galaxy s8 screen with lots of words in the top left. Even rebooting shows the Samsung galaxy s8 screen with lots of the white and blue words. Then I setup the phone, but there's no supersu. I even tried twice. My files: AP_SamFAIL_G950U1_AQH3_ROOTED_SYSTEM, BL_SamFAIL_G950U1_HYBRID_AQI6_STOCK_AQI1_COMBO, and CSC_OYN_G950UOYN1AQHD_CL12134124_QB14827612_REV00_user_low_ship_MULTI_CERT.tar.

I also have a notification from SecurityLogAgent, and it's title is Security notice: Unauthorized actions have been detected, restart your device to undo any unauthorized changes.

Another thing is that after the first part of steps,when you're supposed to reboot into download mode again. Mine is a completely normal reboot mode where I have to press volume up
[Samsung Galaxy S8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] MrSteelX:

I had the same issue.

Just flash the stock firm and start back from step #1

I root And my phone doesnt turn off the screen when I answer a call. How to fix, please?

Iris sensor doenst work neither.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] partcyborg:
You have installed incompatible firmware, you need to flash the BL file in the op under Odin. It does not wipe or anything it will just update your drivers
[Samsung Galaxy S8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] partcyborg:
If supersu is missing you are not installing things in the right oder, or you somehow switched files with. Something else.

Start from the beginning again, being careful to follow exactly what the directions say. If you get the exact behavior again let me know.

If the words happen again try to take a photo or video of what's happening

Hi there, I attempted to root my phone and followed the instructions but seem to be having an issue.

After the "failed to open line 1831," I get the "fail" status from comsy odin. I went ahead and restarted the phone back into download mode but am greeted by the same teal screen as before, no error messages.

Is there something I am missing?

Any help would be appreciated. Thank you!

Elliwigy is right it is not a sampwnd issue it's due to the older firmware.

That is a "US" firmware and likely an older one.

After I root my phone using this process and then flash a custom Rom, do I loose the root?

Please advise
[Samsung Galaxy S8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] partcyborg:
That is completely up to the rom you download so ask it's creator.

What rom are you talking about? You realize your bootloader is still locked right?

Hi. Can someone make multilingual csc file, in particular to contain Russian language? To flash it with Odin. And further return to stock firmware, with preservation of the installed languages?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] AngelIsL33T:
Link some system Roms? For snap.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] partcyborg:
Privyet!

(lol that's nearly all the Russian I know)

How are these languages installed? If it's a CSC you can possibly flash it but I wasn't aware of Eastern European files for the snapdragon s8 since they are all exynos over there. Let me know how you install them stock and I'll tell you how to add them or cook something up real quick
[Samsung Galaxy S8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] 55andrey55:
Hello! Your Russian at the perfect level)

is S8 for Hong Kong, the region of Tgy, and there is a Russian language. But it doesn't stitch into an American phone. Now we've made sure that using root on the phone is going to put an update through flashfair app. As a result, the added Russian language is received, but the phone is root. You then install the fulled firmware with the remote system.img and get bootloop.

Unfortunately, because of lock bootloader, we can't return the stok state to the phone with russian language.

If you need details or some files, I can write or link.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] FrancescoM01:
I believe there is a typo in post 2. Unless it was intended to say S9
[Samsung Galaxy S8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] elliwigy:
you cant use custom languages without root.. adding the languages is seen as a modification to stock so you need to be on root or at the least combo boot.img at which point u might as well just be rooted

I was working on a deodexed samfail, but after a VERY near total brick (from a bad flashfire restore, not a failed test) that I had to essentially invent a new repair technique to fix I'm taking a break from flashing for a little bit :)

Don't scare me now, flashfire restore has been saving my ass haha
[Samsung Galaxy S8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] partcyborg:
Avoid full restores. There are partitions that aren't in ROMs that if they go wrong can likely perma**** your device. As a side bonus I now know a trivial way to restore efs if you have a backup

To be clear, a restore saved my ass eventually too but it was a bad restore that screwed me in the first place

Good morning,

first of all: thanks for the OP for his job, it worked fine and I had zero issues with this rooting method. I got my Exynos variant and time to sell the T-Mobile branded 950U.

How can I revert my U1 rooted firmware back to stock. ?

I found several topics on XDA (carrier switch etc.), I carefully read them, no luck. I can not flash anything with Odin 3.12.7 or Prince Comsy. It fails at the beginning when Odin check the ROM. (I opened Odin in Admin mode, every firmware fails, even the OP's modded files )

Additional info: I could root my 950F and install the latest Firmware on the same computer without any issues)

Thank you

Hi,

I just wanted tp say thank you.

Great job!!!
[Samsung Galaxy S8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] MrSteelX:
you download stock software form this TMB AQHD

then just flash with Odin using HOMECSC.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] barisgg:
So I've tried this several different times on several different computers, can never get past the line 1831 error that others have posted about.

I've downloaded everything several times, I run Odin as administrator... I have no clue what I need to do to get this to work. Any ideas?

UPDATE: Got it to work by putting in DREAMQLTE_USA_SINGLE.pit in the pit section myself like was suggested to me in the SAMpwnd thread, followed the rest of the directions exactly and it worked like a charm. Now running the modified rom from the t-mobile section!

Does this work for 955U? Sorry if this has been stated, but I don't see it anywhere. SamPWND post shows it's for S8/S8+ so I know that works.

Thank u and have a nice day. :laugh:
[Samsung Galaxy S8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] partcyborg:
The overall method works fine, but you would need to make a custom rooted rom and replace the tars used to flash with ones for the s8+

That being said jrkruse has a s8+ rom in the VZW section for those devices that uses my method here so you can use that one if you want something that works out of the box
[Samsung Galaxy S8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] starche_old:
guys, do we have TWRP for W (canadian version)? Do we have AOSP for Snapdragon? I'm thinking to to move to s8/s8+ from s7

no
[Samsung Galaxy S8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] starche_old:
thank you. That means - no s8 for me.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] barisgg:
So I've had and gotten past both of the major problems in this thread now.

1. Line 1831 problem : Download the pit file for the phone and stick it into the PIT section (as was suggested to me in the samPWND thread by Elliwigy)

PAST HERE I'M NOT SURE WHAT THE HELL I DID RIGHT, THIS IS NOT ADVICE IN ANYWAY AND YOU SHOULDN'T RECREATE WHAT I DID

2. can't mount /system error from (18b in the OP -- This I'm more confused about.

I've run into this problem twice, and what made it work (twice) was me ****ing up and not following the directions after the initial boot into recovery. After the second step,. I got the error where I was supposed to just try again, but instead I wiped data and cache went back into the bootloader.

Then I flashed BL and the CSC but with re-partition and nand-erase all checked, I figured this would erase everything and screw things up again but instead it just rebooted straight into android with root (verified by root checker) if I remember correctly.

I may have gone into recovery and done another data wipe but regardless, I have no idea why this has worked twice now since the OP says this should erase root and all.

Any ideas?

Hi so my phone is rooted now but I can't go into Recovery mode I just get a blue screen saying that I'm using unauthorized firmware should I revert back to stock? Device is G950U. Thanks in advance. :svetius:
[Samsung Galaxy S8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] partcyborg:
You did not flash a rooted recovery, likely you missed the BL file, or you flashed something else in which case you should use the files in the op
[Samsung Galaxy S8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] OMEGAHORSE:
So would you recommend I start over again and flash the stock firmware again or is there a shortcut to fix this?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] partcyborg:
Flashing stock again isn't necessary. Just start over and follow the directions exactly and use the files in the beginning of this thread.

There's also a more modern deodexed version rom that uses this method in this forum. It has some very clear advantages over this version:

- based of AQI6 instead of AQH3 (although it's the VZW US build instead of a U1 build)

- very debloated without compromising many touchwiz features. It's about 50% faster on my device

- deodexed, Xposed is a potential but I haven't tested

- the fsck.ext4 stuff isn't necessary as a non-sparse image is used which fixes the corruption issues

- shouldn't ever cause invalid argument issues

I highly recommend using this instead.

Alright so I followed everything and now my device is stuck on the SAMSUNG GALAXY S8 logo when it went to reboot.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] partcyborg:
Which method? Do you mean the new rom or the old one?

If you flashed the new one you shouldn't see the regular Samsung logo you should see the custom animation one.

Also can we move discussion about the new rom to that thread? I'd like this one to be eventually replaced with that one so having the record of relevant discussions there would be better. Thanks
