Wrong thread to ask for help.... this is about a custom recovery for the S8, not about helping someone who downloaded a virus on his S8 and caused his whole phone to crash because of it.. and as far as I can tell about your issue, it is not safestrap related, safestrap caused, and safestrap won't even fix it. Regular odin and stock firmware will fix your issue. Download stock firmware, flash it with Odin. Still want root? Okay simple, remember your BL revision? If not you can still check on the boot screen and if you do remember, great! Makes life easier, just download ANY firmware on your BL SPECIFIC REVISION ONLY and flash it with regular odin and rinse and repeat the root process after via cosmey Odin and proceed with your old setup as normal. Please, if you have any more questions ask in the original root thread and I'll continue to help you there. I assume you know where you got root because well, you're rooted lol and I follow all the threads. You can find stock firmware from updato.com sammobile.com and even XDA itself believe it or not. You just have to search yourself, because not everyone wants to do it for you and hold your hand. :rolleyes:

I tested and it has some bug:

Can not mount /data, internal storage.

Can not backup data partition

Can not save setting.

I want to flash it with oreo firmware via flashfire on nougat rooted. But will it works fine?

My device is s8 active (g892u). Thanks for your job.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] afaneh92:
Type this in terminal

:

adb shell su -c "ls -al /dev/block/platform/soc/1da4000.ufshc/by-name"

I will check if there different partition and make new build

safestrap wont work with oreo without permissive kernel

What good will booting twrp from sd card do. We have safestrap and a locked bootloader. Porting twrp to sd card offers no more options than whats already available sounds like more of a headache to fix something thats not broke
[Samsung Galaxy S8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] quanqw:
It don't require root or permissive kernel. We can use twrp on stock oreo not root. It can also fix brick bootloader device.

Safestrap require permissive kernel but oreo can not root.

Hey mate had a possible request.

I know a bunch of fellars that got root and s8 actives.

Is there any way we could every possibly get a port for that device. They have root upto revision 3 bootloader I'm trying to help a few guys out and safe strap would make my life easier ???

Either way thank you for what you've done and hope to hear from ya

I have an s8plus been rooted for year yousing JKruse guide... thanks to all you guys

Hey i was wondering does this safestrap work on the s8 plus? Unfortunally i dont have my windows computer right now but i have my Kali linux Crapple Hackbook... Ive been trying to flash the old BL file from the other thread and or safetrap using Heimdal-flash... Ive compiletiled it from source like 4 times and still no luck get anything to flash?? i miss my s8 plus its my little nethunter pocket laptop. I dont know why but safestrap was just gone one day sfter it went intp a kernel panick... but ive fixed alot before just flashing the eng bootloader or safestrap... so im just frustrated. Im guessing that Heimdall-flash is hella out dated and probably doesnt work flashing this phone without the modded odins. Ive even tryed installin prince comseys odin and the other one 13.3 i beleive in wine it almost want to work but i dont think with was feeling the drivers for the phone... Heimdall recognises my phone so i hopefull but its always a handshake error when trying to print the pit file or flash anything. Ive tred the boot back into download mode press flash immediatly after plugging the phone it and nada. I can only go into download mode so adb doesnt work i have android studio and the SDK platform tools... I think it might go into edl mode but i never leave it in edl to long cause a couble times it almost never came back on.... anyways im not so knew to linux and know how to use the command line and adb and fastboot really well. does anyone know if theres any other linux options? I bet Heimdall works on older phones like before they changed all the bootloader stuff on the s8 & 9s. Ive found a couple other flashing tools on aptitude but nothing for Samsung or atleast newer ones... Any help i d appreciate it alot.... i could have swore that when i was like 10 i sideloaded apks in download mode with adb? but yea i think im high cause it was prolly fastboot or twrp lmao. I mean i can get it into download mode and the kernel panick mode which actually it read Heimdall read my phone in kernel panick mode the other night... hmm no response to commands though even it download mode can even see the bar on the phone moving so i know is my PCI BUS ports tried all sorts of cables.. to no avail. Maybe if Jkruse has a linux program for flashing with edl again like how i originally did it?? hmm idk
[Samsung Galaxy S8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] afaneh92:
You can use this tool on linux, no lz4 support so you need to make your own non lz4 tar package.

https://github.com/mohammad92/Odin4-downloader-menu?files=1

Also you need to make your own edl scripts for linux.

Hey there, not sure if anyone can help, I'm unable to download the flashable zip. Keeps saying "oops can't find any mirrors". I'm getting very frustrated, I'm sooo close to fixing this phone. I can't find the file anywhere else.

Please help a Lady who everyone thinks is a master of the interwebs, but in reality is just lucky AF and good at googling stuff. :cool::cool:
[Samsung Galaxy S8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] The Specialist 666:
Will rom-slot support ever be added to safestrap? I had noticed it's a bug. My apologies if it's already been asked/answered before. I tried to create a workaround in the e2fsck script. Any attempt to modify that script makes the system refuse to load safestrap which can be frustrating.

So with Safestrap I've noticed when trying to flash any zip file even if I've made a flash able ROM zip it refuses to install. The updater-script runs and everything appears to work file, but doesn't install anything. Not sure if this is a bug at all but thought I'd inform everyone

Just to clarify, when I downgrade from 8.0 to 7.0 to obtain root, boot the rooted ROM then

install busybox and safestrap.apk before reflashing Oreo and that will run alongside Rooted QL1 in a second ROM slot under safestrap?? I apologise if I misread instructions, it's been a while as I haven't used safestrap since my s3 years ago
