[MENTION=3931450]dr.ketan[/MENTION] any idea why I'm getting this?

I'm on O1
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] dr.ketan:
No, I said about bootloop that happens to only pro users, there was no such issue for xda users.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] dr.ketan:
Because Samsung thinks their users are only kids ? ;)

Hi Dr.

So, i do a clean install, coming from Ketan N9. Wiped all (Data,Dalvik,System,Internal Storage), then flash O1 from external Sd.

Everything works fine, first ,have some trouble with Magisk buisybox,but install the BB from your Rom Tool. (After set su rights to Rom Tool manualy).

Viper seems good, about DeX, i download the fix,will install it and give a try with DeX Hardware, i will post then the result.

Also will try Gear Vr.

But everything else looks good,no trouble ......

Are Netflix Fix and others running also on O1?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Ferbee:
Didn't you remove this warning from happening?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] atonal:
Hi Dr.Ketan.

After first look,i got the following problems :

Twrp wont work right. Internal SD isn't mountable (Twrp 3.1.1.0)

Viper won't work. Shows processing NO ,while running sound, sound alive is freezed.

Magisk always reports,that buisy box isn't installed. I do, via Rom Tool,but after every restart, the message occurs again.

Can't do a wipe and flash again,cause wipe won't work about the twrp problem....

Whats the best workaround to fix ?

Update: After flashing your Twrp fix, Problems seems to be fixed.....

But i have to try viper again

Thx a lot
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] dr.ketan:
May be you have missed that i have mentioned couple of days back herem again repeating - Don't expect every mods of previous version works with oreo, still there are tools even not working on oreo to modify stuffs. If you want a feature rich ROM then batter stick with Nougat. Even I have no idea when those all mods will come back.

For Viper - You don't need to freeze anything but make sure ROM Tool have granted su permission, after this reboot device. It may take 30-40 second to change driver status normal after reboot.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] lightdelegate:
Ok so after few days of happiness, I came to check about the bugs i have. No body answer :(

Found the zip file to fix data mount but... Impossible to flash cause internal doesn't mount :(

Did i miss something?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] maheshhtc:
Transfer the file on EXT SD. Before flashing select EXT SD option. Flash it & then restart ur phone.

hi guys,

i have a general question..

how can i backup my samsung keyboard and use it in another rom??

which files should i copy and save, what kind of permissions?

tnx a lot..
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] dr.ketan:
You can flash it from Ext sd card right?

You are a pro user so you have one more option in Tweaks Pro - Extract boot.img file from that data fix and copy on root of Int SD storage (you can access it with PC)

Open Tweaks - General - component flashing - click on Klask kernel - Reboot to system

Now again reboot to recovery and see if that fixed data mount issue
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] lightdelegate:
and I did. lol

just now I see it really fix it cause it shows so many errors on red that i was sure it didnt work :)

thank you and ofcorse thank you dr ketan !

Thanks Doc. I dont really use the tweaks, I become pro mostly to donate and support your project and your work.

It is working now.

Just wonder about some things please,

1. is it only for me that the wallpaper doesnt scroll ?

2. after reboot we must use pass. in the past it was ok with fingerprint

3. is it possible to get the old viper app that you had on N9 (it was more simple and friendly) ?

4. sometimes the copy\paste doesnt do anything. is it only for me ?

Thanks for everything !!!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] atonal:
Hi Dr. Sorry,Viper still not working.... Should i install the Magisk Viper Module? Strange. Sometimes,if i start Google play music,viper works for 2 or 3 seconds, but then it switch to system sound driver. Do you have a zip to flash viper again complete?

Everything else , also the Twrp and magisk seems fine now, no problems with the buisybox anymore.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] dr.ketan:
Try removing viper from ROM Tool (long press same menu) then again single click that (no need to reboot in between) and reboot. check viper driver status after about 1 min

Hello Dr! Im new in your ROM....its really good!!! I need have recording call, how can i do this? Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Flame Red:
ok, I managed to get myself out of this problem. I installed ODIN 3.12.10, and then after flashing the factory ROM, the phone seemed to be able to boot a 7.1..1 image and is working again. I guess the older version of ODIN could not deal with the Oreo remnants. As and experiment I tried the newest TWRP that supposedly had the OREO fix, but sadly it could not mount /data either. Flashing the Dr. Keaton Oreo ROM, or recovering a TWRP image was still impossible. Hopefully this might help someone else that falls into the same issue.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] dr.ketan:
I have posted fix yesterday for data mount issue on oreo, read post ##1567
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Flame Red:
Thank you Dr, but for some reason that procedure did not work for me. TWRP kept saying that it could not mount /data that flashing that would fail. I tried several times and experimented with other ways of using that. TWRP would not let me reinstall Oreo or any other custom ROM no mater what. I am not sure why. Only and ODIN flash with the latest ODIN of 3.12.10 back to the factory ROM got it working. I am not sure what went wrong, except it kept saying the SuperBlock(?) was corrupted.

Sorry but am still on nougat.. Can i apply fix for data mount then backup nd flash oreo or i should flash oreo first for the fix to work
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] dr.ketan:
This should be in order like this

- Make backup of Int storage on PC for safety in case something went wrong

- Clean install (factory reset only) Oreo rom zip from TWRP

- Install data fix immediately before rebooting in between

- Reboot and check, TWRP shouldn't have issue in data mount

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] fenrir_ac:
It's normal to see it could not mount data on flashing the data mount fix by Dr. Ketan. Mine did that too. Did you reboot into system after flashing? Cause you must do that first after flashing the data mount fix zip file, then reboot into recovery again.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Flame Red:
Thank you. Yes, I tried to boot into system but you see the Flash of the Dr. Keaton ROM failed in TWRP because /data could not mount and the flash seemed to terminate prematurely and so the phone reboot never completes at all. I could get it back into TWRP, but data does not mount. I tried it flashing the "fix" immediately following the ROM flash and I tried flashing the fix after a failed system reboot. No go :(

The phone is working on a 7.1.1 factory image. But if I flash TWRP, data won't mount and the factory ROM malfunctions.

Looks like I need a version of TWRP that is ODIN installable with this fix built-in. I'll just sit back and wait I guess.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] dr.ketan:
You have important data on internet storage? Otherwise after flashing rom +fix again reboot to recovery and from wipe option - select format data

This will erase all data from device including Int storage but device will boot and next time you reboot to recovery there won't have issue
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Flame Red:
Dr. - thank you every so much. This fixed me right up! I appreciate your advice so much. I was really stuck! :good: You saved me!

EDIT: I spoke too soon. After I format data, I restored the EFS several times, from different backups. But every time I boot the ROM, it does not seem to see the SIM card, does not have an IMEI in settings, and I get the little circle with an line through it indicating no service. I tried restoring EFS several time from different backups. I reflashed the same kernel. No help. I even tried reflashing the CSC selection tool. No difference. Phone number does not show up in About phone, no Baseband version. Sim status says SIM is unavailable. I even tried restoring baseband from TWRP.

Any ideas what else I would need to restore to get back my carrier. I did not remove the SIM between the time it was working and now.

Maybe the modem needs to be reflashed?

Second Edit - I flashed the factory ROM via ODIN and my cell service returned! I cannot seem to get cell service with a restore from TWRP anymore!

Hi dr. Tried this....no effect.

Then i installed O1 complete clean.

Doing the twrp fix

Setting su rights to rom tool

Activate viper in rom tool...

After waiting,driver state says ok,but it isn't processing.

Tried to flash arise then, that runs fine on 7.1 , the same. All ok,but not processing.

Is the kernel permessive?

Maybe the buisybox?

Updated data mount fix to work on magisk/supersu

Also now you can use on any working TWRP/Kernel

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] joe.sebin:
Are you using magisk root? if yes, Search for Viper4android FX v1.5.3 from downloads, select install and select old version which is same with the rom. now reboot the device, disable and enable from rom tool, reboot again and check. This is how i fixed it.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] atonal:
Hi, yes I am.....

The Problem was: After deactivate Viper one time in RomTool and activate again, the Viper App was crashed complete. Just force close all the time.

Now,i do this with the magisk module, and disable/enable viper on rom tool. Then the viper app won't work about the crash.

Then, i install another Viper apk, the Viper N Version, that was fixed for V7.1 Android on Note 8, and now ut works.....very strange.

I think about, where the problem is inside Dr.Ketans Rom?

From clean install, viper won't work.

But why? Driver seems to be ok, but Viper is not working.

The same with arise....... i don't know ecactly,what the magisk viper module will install on the rom.

Dr.Ketan, will this help you anyway?

Do others had the same problem with viper? I do a complete clean install of O1, with wiping system/data,internal storage,so i don't think, its about my device.....

Update : sometimes,after a Reboot, magisk gives the report, the buisybox isn't installed. But after a new report,it runs normal then. Don't know,why this happens.....
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] dr.ketan:
No idea what is going wrong with you, here I have tap on Viper in Rom tool - reboot

That's it

Make sure busybox version you can see on main page of rom tool upper corner and another, don't freeze/greenify rom tool
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] briankamkobe:
hi dr ketan,may I ask if I decide to clean flash from nougat to oreo should i use tb to restore all my apps and data?if I restore from tb is it a dirty flash despite I factory reset and wiped in twrp ?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] joe.sebin:
Yes doctor the same details was there in Viper after installing via rom tool. but when enabling and tuning with music, there was no change in effect.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] dr.ketan:
Yup that's the point! This report made sense.

Actually I was testing with driver status only

It's been fixed now.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] dr.ketan:
O2 will be on Indian base but really both are same base (both have same OXM csc) and difference (if any) will be only modem and nothing else, and we don't include modem in rom.

I am planning for O2 with all available fix and for that I will use this indian base.

Edit :

Both have same changelist so I believe even it is not worth to change base.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] semantsen:

I tried to restore a user app, and TiBu fails.

I understand one should NOT use TiBu to remove any unwanted apps. Anyone have recommendations for another app to remove and freeze apps? Anyone have get TiBu to restore an app? I don't want to mess up the ROM since it is working very nicely now after all my issues :)

Ahhhhhh.....ok,i thought,you are using viper also for yourself.....

I tried this 5 times, always witha complete clean flash of the rom.

And: if i one time disable viper after enable first, viper app crashes amd was unusable.

I tried it also before with the magisk viper module, but it crashed all the time about the data mount error.

After i had fixed this, viper module in magisk is running, and now viper works.

I see in system/etc ,you have changed the audio.config . Will this be changed between stock and viper customized also,by enable viper in rom tool?

Hi doc, any advise what those people can do which are using the hide option for the magisk manager, as otherwise certain banking or payment apps would detect magisk?

Hi doc. Is the linked TWRP any different from the two already present in the forums? Just wondering which one should i go for?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] maaaatteo:
hi there. i'm still on N8 and no need to change :)

what if i'd like to move from supersu to magisk? should i dirty reflash the rom and choose magisk in aroma? that's it?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] dr.ketan:
Actually it's very old, better use the new available in forum

At present available twrp have data mount issue and you can fix it by flashing fix I have provided (see general section)

Simply re run aroma

Select kernel and માગીસ્કે as root and skip everything

If you want to fix data mount then flash it immediately after aroma
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] maaaatteo:
sorry but what's this fix for? if i had never need it, then i should skip it, correct?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] mr_shaba:
Nope, supersu is granted to the rom tool. When I set the magisk manager to hide rom tool starts complaining about root and busy box complains as well. If I revert hiding of the magisk manager all is back to normal again. No other app that requires root shows that bevavior, also not when hiding magisk manager.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] dr.ketan:
Didn't get you, you need to hide just bak app.

Anyway, you can freeze ROM Tool, side effect is only viper won't work, you can use viper from magisk module
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] maaaatteo:
ok magisk is setup and working!

but now i realize that samsung pay is not working anyway, even using magisk hide :crying:
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] mr_shaba:
Hiding only the banking app is in some cases not enough, as some of them even when set to be hidden still detect magisk based on the package name of the magisk manager. That's why you can also hide the manager itself with its built in function found in settings, by this it gets replaced with a random package name. If I do this ROM Tool is not able to recognise root anymore and also it doesn't show the version of busybox anymore.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] maaaatteo:
yes i also tried to hide root for all samsung related services, i tried to change the package name of magisk, but this fscking samsung pay still know there's root. maybe he check the knox 0x1 or whatever is..

let's wait for google pay in italy to see if it will ban rooted devices as well
