Post the specific questions that are tripping you up in the root threads, and people can help you catchup. It's not as hard as it seems and if you're good at computers it shouldn't take long. Paying for root makes sense at first but is a recipe for disappointment in my opinion. Friendly suggestion :)
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] earl115:
Yes, i might just proceed with doing that. The problem is I am leaving for work 2maro morning and don't have time to trial and error rooting my phone and I restored my phone to root it so I want to root it before i leave 2maro so i can download all my apps etc and don't have to restore again and lose everything again. That's why I just need someone to run me through it as I don't have much time.

Dude, your 20 bucks offer doesn't matter because that's irrelevant. Xda been about customizing and learning -yourself-.

I rooted my S4 back in the days in a few minutes, if you'd read a few CF-Auto-Root threads you'll understand how dead simple rooting CAN be and you'd understand Odin/ how to place files. I encourage you to read through one and just understand how the process worked back then.

Beware: You WILL NOT trip knox, but since it's a SYSTEM ROOT you CAN'T use Magisk. No systemless-root. Banking apps will/ can fail.

The main thread already contains very simple instructions. If those aren't comprehensive, not sure who can help you further. (Select V2.5 files if you're on the LATEST firmware /recently updated to December or January patch)

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Death-Dealer:
Straight up....u shouldn't root. First U don't even know what u want it for. Second u need to do it yourself, which means reading, and reading and rereading that whole samfail thread, having all the files and backup files and being very prepared to get yourself out of trouble so you're not out of a phone for a couple days scrambling for help. and if someone helped you, you'll just be asking for help again when there's an update and you have to unroot update and root again. It's best to learn yourself and be prepared so you can get yourself out of a jam. I am a 11 yr xda member, and this is the first android phone in the last 8 yrs that I haven't rooted. Why well, not really a need to or want to root unless the bootloader gets unlocked to flash custom kernels and roms and get rid of the 80% charge limit. Which I believe is NOT going to happen ever with the n8. I for one am glad this root is a bit more difficult than the last 5+ yrs or so cause it separates the boys from the men with rooting. Too many lil brats brick a new device and run to insurance to save them cause they want to skip steps, not put in the time to be prepared for trouble and READ. One click root is Bull**** and shouldn't be allowed because simply too many people don't know what they are getting into...... Especially if they are coming from an iPhone?

I'm really not trying to sound like a ****. It's just that, I would never root someone else's phone and not be around that person. There is upkeep. I use to get my cousin's upgrades and give him my phone so I could upgrade every yr. Opposite yearly upgrade of me. I gave him a rooted/romed phone from the previous yr , but I would keep up with his and mine and do his rom and upgrade mods and troubleshoot it...? I like to push every phone to it's limit of what the chip can handle. Sometimes it was a lot, spending 5 hrs setting up a phone pushing the chip with overclocking, other mods, undervolting and having to wipe and redo everything over and over cause of bootloops. Not so much upkeep now though with the n8. If the bootloader gets unlocked, well awesome, and I'm down to flash away. But if it doesn't, oh well. I'm fine with the freezing apps, Samsung theme store plus other apk theme files floating around xda, poweramp with high res through aux, and using helium as a backup.

Anyways good luck and welcome to xda

Well said, rooting is something you must do by yourself
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] xDreDz:
LOL. Youre good with computers but you cant even research properly or even follow simple instructions. Better not root if that the case.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] cgrimm9:
I was thinking I need to root my phone always have. I even asked for help doing so but was unsure if I should little boy in me wants to tinker with phone. Man in me says leave alone.

The only things I wanted was to install custom roms cause I like customization. Ad block well I can't install ROMS but I got substratum to do customization and samsung themes mixed into that I'm happy. You don't need root to do things that you can do without.

It is your choice if you want to or not. It's your phone everything you need is in the samfail 2 linked earlier all the files you need are there. The guide is there as long as you do it right won't be any issues. All though bricking youris unlikely its possible it happened to me on a zte and a lg phone. You do so at your own risk
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Gizmoe:
[MENTION=6960362]Death-Dealer[/MENTION] couldn't have said it better. Rooting is only the beginning. There is so much more to know. You are better off with stock if it's not something you are going to take the time and figure out. You say you are good with computers. If that's true, than reading comprehension is your only hurdle. Good luck :good:

So I apologize if this is a stupid question, but I'm still learning these units. Will this absolutely not work on an rk3066? I know it specifically states rk3188, but I've read that the two CPUs can be swapped internally without issue, so in my mind it seems that any ROMs for one are compatible with the other. I'm sure it's more complicated than that, but I figured I'd ask.

I'm using Malaysk's rom at the moment, but I'd like to have working Daydream. Thanks.
[MTCD Software Development] Hal9k_:
I do not have a rk3066, so I can not check.

If you are sure, then you can check it yourself.

No, it will not - the RK3066 is MTCB/C only, this thread is in the MTCD forum, for your unit you need to read the MTCB forum.

[MENTION=5092263]Hal9k_[/MENTION] - I ve installed your test Nougat ROM on several 1Gb RK3188/PX3 devices and the only way it will work is if the bootable SD card is removed AS SOON as "Nougat" appears on the screen, then it will boot into Nougat recovery. If this is not done then it will say "error" on screen and will not install the update, it took me hours to figure this out !

Or have you made a change so the card does not have to be ejected straight away ?
[MTCD Software Development] Hal9k_:
Tell us more about your impressions. :)
[MTCD Software Development] Hal9k_:
It seems to me that you did not uncheck the "Upgrade Firmware" check box when making a bootable card.
[MTCD Software Development] typos1:
Yes I did, I only ever use that option, pretty sure one other user had the problem as well, we both couldnt get it to work for days, then I managed to by ejecting the sd card as soon as "Nougat" appeared on screen.

I thought the whole point of using sd firmware tools was to make a Lollipop unit boot into Nougat recovery ?

I have an RK3368/PX5 now, but I will be installing this on a friend's Lollipop unit later, I ll make a new bootable sd card with your new ROM, maybe it wont happen with the new version ?

I ll let you know how I get on.

You only have a 2Gb RK3188/PX3 SoM now ?

Youve sold your 1Gb RK3188/PX3 SoM ?

(Starts to think of ways to get Hal9k_ to make a version of his amazing ROM for the RK3368/PX5 . . . . )

Yes, you right.

Everything will be fine. :)

I've sold my 1Gb RK3188 unit.

And now I have 2 2Gb px3 units: in car and at home.

I renamed the thread. That's better ?
[MTCD Software Development] typos1:
Yes, I ll try with your latest version, but it would only work if the sd card was ejected as soon as Nougat appeared on the screen with your first de-odexed/rooted Nougat test version form a few months back.

So you have no 1Gb version to test now.

2 2Gb SoMs !! ?? You should sell one and get an RK3368/PX5 SoM too, so you have one of each ! :) :)

Yes, there can be no mistake that its a ROM thread now.

You could put "Nougat for ALL RK3188/PX3" units somewhere in the title too ? It would attract more users - no one can tell from the title at the moment that it is Nougat for all PX3 devices at the moment.

Sorry to keep criticising your thread title, I just want as many people to use your ROM as possible. :)

I take it youre on 4pda.ru as well and their users know about your excellent work too ?
[MTCD Software Development] Hal9k_:
I was helped by a group of people from 4pda to test the firmware for 1 GB.

There is one indisputable advantage: I can finally use what I have done.

And I can think of something new in the process of everyday use.

You are neglecting RK3368/PX5 users, we are all desperate for your genius on our units :(
[MTCD Software Development] jigubhai2001:
I have tired it both ways. Going in to system settings and launching an update from there as well as going into recovery and installing an update from there. All this does is re-installs Hakl9k rom. After which I have followed the instructions on Disabling all the google services app. I am not even logging into any google service. I am right away disabling them and them from MOD settings selecting MircoG.

Everytime I do this, the result is the same. the Unit reboots into system recovery with the error message I attached previously.

Now, is there anything else I need to have downloaded on the SD card other than the nupated.img?
[MTCD Software Development] frankomio:
after switching to MicroG, or better before, did you remove the SD card, so that the device doesn´t boot to recovery ?

you must NOT leave the SDcard in the device, while rebooting !
[MTCD Software Development] jigubhai2001:
Oh!!! I was leaving the SD card in there, but on a couple tries I had deleted the nupdate.img from it.

I see your point that since it is detecting an SD card installed, it is going into recovery. I will try it without the SD card installed and let you guys know........
[MTCD Software Development] Hal9k_:

Es funktioniert leider nicht,wer weis wie es geht???????????????

Unfortunately, it does not work, who knows how's it going ???????????????

1. go into system-> apps> for , at least 3 google-services do the following:

a: Force Stop the service

b: Disable service

c: clear data/cache for them

-> this is to do for Google, and play Services , Google Play store

2. reboot HeadUnit into recovery (long press Power, or Cut powercord, SDCARD has to be re-inserted for recovery)

3. in Recovery , wipe data/ calvik cache, Wipe Cache)

4. remove SDCARD, reboot to system

5. after reboot , go to MOD-Settings and switch to microG, wait until it rebooted TWICE (maybe 3 times ?)

between the reboots , you will see prompt "update System image" this is maybe for the MicroG-Framework to be installed,

on homescreen of HU you can see a new link for Play Store

6. That´s it, test it

@ those who use microG: Will Google Maps / Waze run when using microG implementation? I currently use Google's Play Services. Maps sometimes takes really long (~5 minutes) to start, and often closes itself just after startup. Will it (if it works with microG) run more smoothly?

Me too,i think ram management is very bad,the rom doesnt have enough resources.

With micro g i had even more problems,every few months it couldnt connect to my google account so maps wasnt working.

Only solution was to reinstall the rom.

I think there are memory leaks in this rom,i only run 2 apps (a player and google maps) and the device is super sluggish. I can see it runs out of memory,especially google maps 1 out of 3 times i use it just can't load.I have to kill the app clear cache and reboot.

In earlier versions of this rom this did not happen.

Its crazy that a device with 4 cores and 2gb ram cant run 2 apps.This is not normal.

Is there a way to get back to the factory rom to check how it behaves?I have an MTCE HXD device

Hello. Congrats for an excelent ROM!

I have had issues with Waze and Sygic force closing. I found elsewhere that the problem could have been caused by the 3D mode, related with some video problem that also caused the malfunction of the native video player. I managed to reinstall both apps, enter and go directly to block the view in 2D, and until now they are working fine, but I lost 3D view, wich is cool and easy to see.

Is there any way to fix the video problem, or recover the 3D view in Waze and Sygic?
