I can confirm this works on my ATT 892A with the latest version of android ATT has put out as of today(1/28/2019). A couple hiccups during install. But root check confirms it worked and root is available. Only issue I have is Xposed says 89 is installed(is it safe to update?) but that it isn't active despite being checked.

Also getting an oddball thing where things get laggy and the screen gets tinted a very light green with certain apps.

Edit 1: Damn I'm dumb. Been a while since rooting. Granting Xposed access through SuperSU fixed the error it had.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] TheMadScientist:
The green screen is a issue with the bootloader being used for root. Normally if you shut your screen off for like 3 or 4 seconds. It goes away. Like if you turn your screen off and on withing like 1 second the chance for this is higher. It's something with aod and low power.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] partcyborg:
Yes, it does work for the 892a. I will be releasing a bl3 version soon sorry I've had a bunch of other **** going on lately but it's nearly ready.

I've already reached out to testers and have a confirmed yes it works for one variant. I hope to have time to put the other rest together tonight and will release what works after that. Thanks for your patience everyone.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Robborboy:
Good info. Thanks!

That's good to hear. This method that the other posted has been working fine. Admittedly this is the first device I've rooted this way.

With other methods where you can flash your own ROM I'm familiar with adding apps to the ROM.

This this method I'm unsure or if it is even possible. My main concern is the lack of the Galaxy Wearables app. Is it possible to add this?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] TheMadScientist:
Yes. I don't rememeber the exacts but I had to add it on my s8 works great. You have to download Galaxy apps apk the Galaxy wear app and a couple others. But yes it does work.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] jtdogblue:
Another confirmed install, working great on AT&T. I ignored the new software update that popped up for me today so I cannot say if it will still work. After doing some research, I made sure to not to use nand erase all option. Bootloader flashes fine, but when I went to flash the ROM, Odin froze for a good 30 seconds. Gave me quite the scare. Then it did it's thing, Odin said "Failed" after finishing, and after rebooting into download mode it showed the error screen, but I reflashed the bootloader anyway and everything worked. Was stuck on the Samsung logo for about 2 minutes until it finally went through.

Is the procedure the same as original for v1/v2?

Edit- Followed the same procedure as the original v1/v2. Everything goes as planned until the BL flashing part, where it says "Re-partition operation failed"

Edit again- Went back to using the BL/ procedure that 你是猪.吗 posted with the new ROM, and everything worked.

Lets see if i got this right flash bl3 root tar

Then flash partycyborg blv1 ara part1 rom from page 1 post of this thread

Then flash blv3 root tar again

Then flash the new blv3 rom from 1st page . i do know it does not say this in the thread since its the last post in thread and just added the rom

And a hella thanks if i get this rooted i will send the fifty bucks like i said i would. Hell ya blv3 rooted i cant wait to try this tomorrow

[Samsung Galaxy S8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] TheMadScientist:
If it's a bit 3 yes you have to flash the bootloader from this room first in comsy Odin then flash the AP. Then reflash the bootloader a second time. The Oreo bootloader prevents this from flashing so the combo bootloader is needed first. But yes if your on a revision 3 5th number from far end in software info

[Samsung Galaxy S8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Robborboy:
Quite honestly at a loss. Following the instruction to a T with the stuff partcyborg has uploaded. I flash part 1. All goes fine until the very end and it fails. As I understand this is normal.

If then goes to the Upload press power key for 7 seconds as it is supposed to.

I reboot back to upload and it gives me the emergency error, again like is is supposed to.

It then flash part two and it pretty much immediately fails after starting part 2.

@partcyborg can you test the 892a bl3 file ?flash the stock rom G892AUCS3BRG1 first,then test the root file. If you success ,i will give up：哭： Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy S8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] TheMadScientist:
He don't have this device to test.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] partcyborg:
All of you try this BL file in place of the first one: https://androidfilehost.com/c/bl-pcr-g892a-bl3

I think you all have corrupted cache partitions, so i added my cache formatter to this one which should take care of your issue.

I have no idea why the pit from the official stock firmware breaks your devices, but I took that out too.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] 你是猪.吗:
/(ㄒoㄒ)/~~

I guess the pit file in your bl is suitable for 892u. If i delete the pit file and repack the bl file， it shows <ID：0/003> abl.elf

<ID：0/003>failure！（Auth）。IF i repalce the pit file with the 892a pit ”CRUISERLTE_USA_ATT.pit“，it will pass the set pit but fail at <ID：0/003> abl.elf <ID：0/003>failure （Auth）！So，i guess the bl file is only suitable for 892u not 892a . It's all my guess from a innocent Junior player and I‘m a Chinese，sorry for my poor English！
[Samsung Galaxy S8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] TheMadScientist:
The active models have always been a bit different than regular models the U model would I guess be equivalent to a U model s8 and + just like those but with no errors the w model has to be converted to a U model on the process. Which is bassicly automatic with the root. So I would assume one has to test. Not confirmed but bassicly turn his A model into a U model then follow this guide
[Samsung Galaxy S8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] lakeshire007:
so im on bootloader 3 with G892A i did the guide like it said but it didnt work after i flashed the AP for blv3 i tried to flash the blv3 and even the new one pcr posted but the bl failed instead of pass i tried the chinese guys method aswell but it didnt work it boots into upload mode and when i try to boot into recovery it does a boot loop and for a split sec you can read what it says it says

[Samsung Galaxy S8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] DriveAbout:
Hi All,

I followed the instructions with the S8 Active G892A on the latest firmware and I used the v3 bootloader files in the original download links. I got the same error as post #511 in this thread in Odin for the part 1 flash, and from the instructions I assumed this meant that I had a USB3 hardware corruption issue. The phone was stuck on the download screen and Odin had failed, so I reset Odin and canceled the download mode on the phone. But then the phone wouldn't enter download mode again and would just go to the "an error has occurred while updating the device software".

I followed partcyborg's advice to get the phone into recovery mode if stuck in a boot loop, and I was able to get it to a screen that says "installing system update". If I let it sit, it goes to a screen with "no command" and then goes back to the "installing system update" screen. and so on, ad nauseum. If I hold power button and press volume up once, it will alternate between a screen that shows some command line instructions and results and the "installing system update"/"no command" screen. I can't get it to leave this cycle it's on or anywhere near download mode.

Here are some of the command line text:

E:failed to mount /cache

E:Can't mount cache/recovery/log

So I suppose I need to get it successfully into recovery mode. Any ideas?

Sounds like I am having the same error as the guy who posted right before me.

So after I let it sit, stuck in the "recovery mode" cycle, and the battery drained completely dead, I charged it a bit and then tried to boot into download mode and it worked this time. I hope this helps anyone else who gets their phone stuck and unable to get into download mode.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] DriveAbout:
So it looks like letting the battery drain isn't what saved me from the boot loop (lol). When the phone is stuck in the recovery cycle, hold vol down + power key. As soon as the screen goes black shift to holding the vol down + power key + bixby key.

What happened was I tried to do a recovery mode wipe and reset before trying to root again, and when I did it got stuck in recovery mode (haha!), and that was with the stock firmware, no custom ROM.

Possible G892U 8.0 Oreo V3 Bootloader root install fix

I have T-Mobile G892U, Baseband: G892USQS3BRH2.

I downloaded and have tried the V3 files as per the instructions. Originally, it did not work. I read through the posts and discovered that the combo bootloader must be loaded first, contrary to the instructions at post #1 saying to do the AP file first, so that the PrinceComsy Odin would not fail (as per the Chinese user's post #471). This results in the loop described in post #515:

"No Support SINGLE-SKU

Manual MODE v1.0.0#

E: failed to mount /cache (Invalid argument)

E: failed to mount /cache (Invalid argument)

E: failed to mount /cache (Invalid argument)

E: Can't mount /cache/recovery/lastlocale"

I then tried flashing your v3 bootloader for G892A where you said it should fix the cache partition error, to which I am replying in this post. I then loaded the G892U v3 AP file, and followed up with the v3 BL file for G892U (did both AP and BL for G892U without "Nand Erase All," as doing with Nand Erase seems to lead to the cache partition error). This results in the repeated "com.android.phone" error during setup. I entered recovery and did a factory reset twice in a row, but the "com.android.phone" continues to repeatedly pop up during setup.

Can you post a v3 BL with the cache partition fix for the G892U, as I think this could solve my issues. Thanks in advance!
