Hi Ketan. Any other link for download. I tried several times but no success.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] MR.REZA2:
Hi Dr.Ketan

LTE only working??
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] dr.ketan:
I have all option available including lte only too. But I have observed this settings vary with operator as well.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] mrjoy:
Could you add the support for Galaxy S8+?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] dr.ketan:
Sorry I don't own device. But I believe minor change should work on s8+

May be someone report if this working or not and provide log, I may try to help

Simply flash kernel for s8+ and magisk after flashing rom
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] fragtion:
Great to see Dr. Ketan developing for the Note 8! Dr Ketan's ROM for the Note 4 was my favourite until I cracked my screen and got the Note 8, so I can't wait to try this :)

Anyway so I tried to install it , but am facing a small problem which is undocumented in the instructions so far?:

After flashing, I got the " SIM Changed and there is Option to RESET and Restart". So I rebooted, and after it booted back up I noticed that Magisk was missing so I rebooted again (while holding bixby+vol up) to try get to recovery, in order to flash Magisk back as instructed -- but rather than going to recovery, it showed red error "Only official released binaries are allowed to be flashed", and if I try to flash TWRP (so I can flash Magisk back as instructed) via Odin it says "Only official released binaries are allowed to be flashed(RECOVERY)". Presumably, the bootloader and/or TWRP were overwritten to stock, by flashing this ROM zip - or am I wrong?

"OEM Lock" (and "FRP lock") are both showing as OFF, so I'm not sure why this error is present while trying to flash custom recovery??

I'm guessing the only way around this now is to flash Stock ROM?

For the record, before flashing this ROM I was on Stock ROM with TWRP and Magisk which was working fine (and my phone had already received the OTA to N950FXXU1AQI1 prior to this). It is only after flashing the ROM zip, that my phone has gone into this "Only official binaries" error. I am using SM-N950F/DS Exynos/64GB (UAE model)

Perhaps I should I have enabled OEM Unlock again before rebooting to flash Magisk again? If so, I really think the instructions should be updated to make this clear so other users don't fall into this trap

Anyone else facing this? More importantly, what is suggested solution?

Right now it seems like flashing stock is my only option as it is refusing to accept anything else from Odin (and I can't seem to get back to TWRP normally), so I'm going to try that and then repeat the whole process and will report back
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] dr.ketan:
Factory reset shouldn't disable oem unlock, I have multi times did it and still oem unlock is enabled and never encountered issue. May be accidentally disabled on your side??

Like to hear more reports before making any conclusion.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] fragtion:
Thx for quick reply Dr. I didn't go into the menu at all (let alone to Disable OEM unlock, which would have been silly of course). Although I don't seem to be the only one experiencing this strange issue where OEM LOCK is supposedly OFF but Odin refuses to flash custom recovery... https://xdaforums.com/galaxy-note-8/help/oem-unlock-fail-t3680520

Edit: back on stock, but can't find OEM unlock toggle anymore. Apparently need to wait a week for that to come back. Damn.. :/
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] ProtoDeVNan0:

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] j3yps:
Hey Doc it's nice to see you here (used your ROM on Note 7 before)

Want to ask, if ever the OEM UNLOCK option appears on my Note 8, then I've rooted and installed your ROM successfully. Will the OEM UNLOCK option be permanently available?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] dr.ketan:
At least I didn't made any changes to make it happened but as you know Samsung mess....
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] LEANDROURU:

Didn't know that... Will be someday? :(
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] dr.ketan:
I have read same in other ROM thread too. Seems who have oem unlock option appeared late still vulnerable to lost it. Some more reporting may reveal exact trigger factor. Probably different svc may trigger it. What was your default csc?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] fragtion:
Unboxed device today (I didn't have to wait for OEM Lock to appear). Accepted the N950FXXU1AQI1 OTA before checking original CSC or enabling developer mode, but I do remember seeing something about "United Arab Emirates" in the About/Software info somewhere, if that could aid as a hint to anyone smarter than me. After OTA I was able to toggle OEM Unlocked and Odin TWRP successfully and the rest is as I explained. Since then I've recovered the device by downloading the CHO stock firmware for SM-N950F using SamFirm (this guide) but I did not flash the CSC or HOME_CSC from the ZIP as I was unsure if that was safe to do. Seems to be working fine although I see some strange "T roaming" and "KT twophone" options in settings now so yes I think I may need to change that
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] dr.ketan:
If united amirates written in software info then it might be boxed with uae csc, if remember correctly, it should be xsg csc

Have you seen info with *#1234# before modification? I recommend everyone to take screenshot after above code so it will be easy to revert completely by flashing same ROM. Also Smart Switch can Reflash official firmware which was pre packed. You should select emergency recovery from Smart Switch Tool with device in download mode and just provide serial number of device. It will Auto find your device's native firmware

FAP lock

I installed this rom on my N8 yesterday. All was running sweet until just now I decided to boot into recovery to backup everything - upon restart I get this message on boot "custom binary blocked by FAP lock" software brick. Apparently I need to flash the orignal sammy firmware which I'm doing now.

Why did this happen? It could have been a lot worse if I didn't know what I was doing.

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] dr.ketan:
What is status of oem unlock in developer option ?

Does your device have this option available since you brought or appeared later ? Also look current status and report

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] dr.ketan:

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] dr.ketan:
Open ROM Tool - Update and Fix - download Kill SystUI apk - Install - click on icon - grant su - Your display will get off and on - now check if mod working.

You can uninstall app once done.

Did u guys get oem unlock back after 7 days? Did u have to flash another csc?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] thyk888358:
it is working ..... thank you so much !
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Dbj.Dhaval:
I am from India and have Indian note 8. So now if I want to install ur rom all I have to do is flash twrp via odin and flash ur rom and other mods or kernel.. AND SHOULD NOT FLASH ANY CSC ZIP OR ANYTHING.. I had oem option from the first day of purchase..
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] dr.ketan:
Indian version have no such issue as far as you are using in India.

Simply flash twrp + rom (detail in first page post #2)

+must select one of root method (magisk/supersu) in aroma when it asked while flashing rom

That's it

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Eagle 3:
I installed N5 and it's working great! I selected the OEM patch and have OEM in Developer Options.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] dr.ketan:
You have OEM issue earlier? Like OEM was appeared after 7 days? Also while flashing ROM which kind of wipe you performed? Simle factory reset or full wipe?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Eagle 3:
Yes, I had OEM earlier. I had OEM after 7 days after I installed N4 some time ago. I did not do any wipe or reset. I just flashed N5. When I installed N4, I did the wipe format data as specified in your instructions. This is probably why I did not have to do the wipe when I flashed N5.

Hi doc,today installed your latest ROM.

Seems working flawlessly and battery life seems much better as compared with stock.

Thanks a lot
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] misho_20063:
Dr Ketan Very thanks for great job and rom is wonderful but I need to ask two questions

1:Which difference between stock kernel and Spectrum kernel and which best select in aroma option to you?

2: I need to record call and when open Samsung call record call hide how can I add this option?

3:can upload file css as remove from mega and need know what importance from csc file ? ????
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] dr.ketan:
1.search spectrum ketnel manager, you will find more info

2.didnt get what you mean call hide

3.No need, rom itself have required csc
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] misho_20063:
The first point I searched for on the net and understood the second point means how to added the advantage of recording calls in this rom ????
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] dr.ketan:
Same you can search too, there is a line to add in csc features file to activate call record
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Ed Law:
Hi Dr Ketan

Thanks for a great rom.

I purchased the tweaks pro app. And it makes the rom even better.

For those who are after call record, buy the tweaks pro app. It's a csc feature that is easily activated within the app and supports the development of this great rom.

Thanks mate :)
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] crows:
Hi Doc, sorry to bug you again...just want to ensure ive exhausted all possabilities regarding trying to get one app to work with your Rom. Here is the app Im talking about https://play.google.com/store/apps/...um=download_link&utm_campaign=oca_downloadapp

I have tried it on 2 other Roms and it works on both, the latestest Rom was (Repulsa Rom) I have also posted a support post on magisk forum as you suggested and have had no responses. I have followed the suggested options from magisk trouble shooting options with no changes. I thought it may of been a kernel thing and flashed madmax it also made no difference.. I really like using your rom wih the tweak pro....is there anything else I can try. If it helps Im happy to provide my login details to my sub for you to try.

Thanks and sorry for the request.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] sco00262:
Yes,no need to do that?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] dr.ketan:
No, don't do that. If Busybox is missing then ROM Tool and Tweaks Pro both have built-in function to install it automatically.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] dr.ketan:
It's not available in my country to download

Just try one thing, flash magisk version on which it was worked, hide app in magisk hide, clear cache and data of that app

reboot and try, but nothing more than this I can suggest.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] crows:
No worries, this is one of the things Ive tried already, never mind <i will continue to try your Rom after each upgrade hoping it works. Thanks for looking into it for me.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] dr.ketan:
If that app is free then you can inbox me apk

Ignore if app is paid, I can not see because it's not available in my country
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] dr.ketan:
Issue seems your side

I have download app and here attached ss with and without magisk hide

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] gsser:
Hey doctor, i got a question. I have bought the dev donation app and sent a mail with the order reference number, do i need to add anything else? I gave root permission at the start. And also do i need another request code if i want to flash o12p in the future? Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] dr.ketan:
You will soon get email with details.

No you don't need to make request everytime install rom. It's just once only.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] gsser:
Okay thank you, and i want to say i use phantom kernel with magisk 16.7 and dont have an issue, i saw your read file in drive folder.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] crows:
Yes correct...it's only a problem when you try and play a video...please test I want to use your Rom...you may need my details to test.

I installed O11, finally magisk works perfect.

But i have now a problem..

I don't know if it is from ROM or App itself..

My Samsung built-in video player only playing the the audio from the clip, not showing any moving picture, only black screen with the audio of that clip or any other video clip...

Other video players work fine like mx. Video or any other players...

Any hints????

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] maaaatteo:
hi dr. Ketan, thanks for your great work :)

i'm on O6 version of your rom; is there any reason to upgrade to latest, since everything is running fine for me?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] NBruderman:
1. Security patches

2. Improved support of many mods and addons

3. Much stabler

4. Much smoother

Just the update from O10 to O11 for me was a notable improvement, so I guess that it'll be a huge improvement from O6.

However, if you update, DON'T FORGET TO MAKE A BACKUP. it's a massive update, so keep it safe :)
