Go to advance > copy log to sdcard then upload it here.

Try to untik /system_image before backup.

I was under the impression that we couldn't create Rom Slots. But I just created one...what's up. Can we create them, but not use them. I'm super confused. Lol.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] MrMike2182:
You can't use them yet.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] anthonykash:
Will see if this new build will give me the splash screen without the hardware buttons

For those not getting the splash screen , just reboot the phone. Hold bixby and power up button. It'll reboot into STOCK recovery. Choose reboot system from there, yes reboot system and safestrap will appear.

Still can only get there through hardware keys, but honestly it's not a deal at all. Thank you Dev for getting this up and running on our phones.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] 2Tone23:
Afaneh, thank you for the direction. I tried untik as you suggested but that didn't work. I have the recovery log on my SD but unfortunately I'm not sure how to upload it so that you can see it. I'm having difficulty figuring that out.

How do I uninstall the flashed version you gave me so I can reinstall safestrap?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] MrMike2182:
Just go in settings and then apps and tap App Manager and then look for the app you want to uninstall.. You can also use a free website to paste the contents of your logs into and then give us the link to it here.. The website is called https://pastebin.com

Or you can go into the log yourself copy it using your s-pen/finger and then just paste it here. <---Easiest way!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] butchieboy:
Just out of the blue safestrap stops at 90% when trying to install, device then boots to upload mode. Weird never had an issue. Will do some tweaking and let you know results.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] yes_have_some:
OK got a bit of an issue .. Restored a backup (on stock ROM slot)I made last night and now I'm getting constant kernel panics after about 2-3 min after powering on device. Msg is

"APSS INFO

Panic caller :__CPU_notify+0+0/0x50

Panic Msg : stack-protector: Kernel stack is corrupted in: ffff

Thread : fstrim:13590"

I had it save a log to the SD card but I can't find its location before it reboots. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] MrMike2182:
Try reflashing the kernel with odin. Just the kernel though.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] yes_have_some:
OK ,I kinda figured some Odin would be in my future this evening lol. Thanks man I'll report back with my results.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] 2Tone23:
Thank you, MrMike. On my Note 8 I cannot find app manager inside the apps settings. I've also search for safestrap in the system / X-bin. I cannot find this file anywhere... also I am having a difficult time opening this recovery log so as to read its contents. The only way that I've been able to this far was to patch the file to an email in then open it.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] yes_have_some:
So here is where my inexperience is going to shine through.... How do I only flash the kernel with Odin? From what I've read I would need to put it in the AP slot, but I couldn't find anything pertaining to our devices specifically. Just don't want to fudge things up more than they already are lol. Worth mentioning I'm on the Twiztd ROM and samfail 2.5 BQJ2 baseband. Here is a link to the log(s),there's one from recovery and also the kernel panic. Thanks in advance?http://https://drive.google.com/file/d/16zQCCbkeabk44YlCr22bLwsAQ1__j2zo/view?usp=drivesdk

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] thewayofwright:
Its weird, but if I hold bixby + Vol up & power to boot into stock recovery and then choose reboot system, it is then that the option to boot into safestrap shows up. This roundabout weird way for me is 100% each time. Otherwise, if I just reboot or turn the phone on normally, there is no safestrap option. Hope that this helps someone out there w/ issues whilst alerting the developer of possible glitches for some.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] MrMike2182:
I have the feeling that you don't understand the phone much? Do you not know how to install and uninstall apps?

---------- Post added at 11:47 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:42 AM ----------

You will find the kernel inside of the "ap" file of the SamFail called boot.img that's what you would need to extract and then either flash it with flashify or use a zipping app to zip the boot.img into boot.tar so it can be flashed with odin in the AP slot.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] 2Tone23:
I admit Mr Mike that I am nowhere near your level and still have much to learn, but installing an uninstalling apps isn't one of them. LOL I flashed my version of safestrap so therefore I thought it had to be located differently. The regular version download of safestrap would never work for me. The drivers wouldn't install. So I flashed a version of safestrap. That being the case I didn't think that I could uninstall the flashed version using the regular version. Turns out I was wrong, I was unable to uninstall it with that. Of course now I can't reinstall the flash version either, but that's and issue for another time. LOL I am fairly new to it all as I've only been flashing and modding since the S3, but I never learned much about interacting with the XDA forum nor pasting things to the XDA Forum that wouldn't easily attached the way we normally attached items. I'm not at all familiar with reading recovery logs, not on that level, though I would like to attain that knowledge as well. But am certainly not at the basic elementary stage, the fundamentals I do have under cap. As always, I thank you and anyone else who takes time to reach out and assist me. Being that I can't reinstall the flash version of safestrap again, I'm going to factory reset download Flashfire try to install safestrap then use my titanium backup to restore my phone. Sound like an idea, or do you have a better one? LOL
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] MrMike2182:
You really don't have to factory reset. You just need to learn some of the basic stuff about the phone.. You should have an icon called settings and when you tap it, it'll open another window and in this window you scroll down and look for APPS and then tap it and then tap App Manager at the top and then all of the apps on your phone will be listed then you just have to scroll down again and look for safestrap and tap it and on the next window you'll see uninstall and that's how you get to all of the apps on your phone.. The settings icon is similar to the picture I attached here.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] MrMike2182:
Some of these screen shots should help you see what I mean.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] MrMike2182:
Did that help you understand how to get to the list of all your apps?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] butchieboy:
I wouldn't restore with Titanium, there have been issues at times...just my opinion
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] butchieboy:
Thought I would give you some help @ MrMike
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] butchieboy:
Lol just realized I posted same thing you did
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] MrMike2182:
Haha! Two helping hands are always better than one.. I forgot to add the screen shot of how to uninstall the safestrap app but you got it!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] 2Tone23:
Mr. Mike you are a kind and patient man. ☺ And I thank you. I'm afraid I have misrepresented myself. I familiar with this procedure. The question of where to find that app came up merely because my version was a flash version, not downloaded. Usually to downloaded apps are the only ones to be found in the app settings. I thought maybe I'd have to look in system slash X Ben to find it. And it wasn't there. Then I realize that the downloaded version of safestrap could remove the flashed version. I did not know it work like that. Titanium Backup has worked pretty well for me. Just need to be careful not to backup the system apps with it. Just to use the apps and then it'll restore your apps and data without any glitches that comes with backing up and restoring the system apps.

Thanks Butchieboy I'm just seeing your response. Please refer to my response to MrMike. I'm just slightly more advanced than that. LOL.

---------- Post added at 11:39 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:12 PM ----------

My issue is that I cannot reinstall safestrap now I tried to reflash it a few times but it will not take. Can anyone help me understand how I can get that problem fixed.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] MrMike2182:
You're rooted correct?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] butchieboy:
Move all important stuff to phone storage. Repartition sd card. Move all important stuff back to sd card reroot and nand erase. Safestrap wouldnt install for me and starting from scratch did the trick. Something got messed up in your system.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] dkabot:
Safestrap? There's a name I haven't heard since my Droid 3...

Hopefully you can get slots working, because messing with those sounds like a good time!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] yes_have_some:
Awesome, that I can do lol. Thank you very much for your help bro.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] yes_have_some:
Ok, so I got the stock kernel to flash successfully in Odin but still getting same kernel panic. Is this where I just do the entire process over or would a dirty flash of samfail work?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] butchieboy:
I am against dirty flash. For me clean install has always been best. That's just my opinio, others may say different.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] anthonykash:
That's the only way I get it to but really it's no big deal. As long as I can access it I don't need it every boot screen. Hardware keys all the way over here lol :)

I've said it in this thread a few times. If it's not working use the hardware keys to get to STOCK recovery. Once in stock recovery select reboot system, yes reboot system and safestrap will appear. I bet my phone on it lol. Good luck guys and thank you Dev for all the hard work.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] diabl0w:
This is my experience as well... need to enter normal recovery first. I also noticed that if I have the phone completely powered off and plugged in to charge then when I turn the phone on I will get the splash screen. There must be something in common with the boot process in these two scenarios that allows it to work while normal powering on doesnt
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] anthonykash:
I'll have to see if the phone off thing works, keep you posted.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] DroidisLINUX:

Got this when trying to restore backup of SamfailV1
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] MrMike2182:
That's almost the same exact thing I saw!!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] butchieboy:
Sometimes restore works sometimes it doesn't..lol
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] yes_have_some:
So flashed the boot.img converted to md5.tar, reflashed, then flashed once more and it seemed to pretty much work. Reason I'm saying "pretty much" is because after the very 1st flash I got kernel panic in roughly same time as prior to flashing the kernel. Then it took 2 more tries and finally after the 3rd it stayed on, no panic.

Woke up, yesterday was able to run a geekbench bm on it (1897single, 6480 multi?) seemed fine. Fast forward a few hours into the afternoon, I noticed that ANYTIME I tried to flash ANYTHING that triggered it. Never had a single issue prior to restoring my backup. Do any of you guys know what exactly caused this and why? I have no idea other than maybe with all the customizations on the TWIZtd rom, backup being QUITE large (24GB?) God knows what else, it just did NOT like it lol. But for real though, this whole inability to flash anything has me shaking & ready to find a flashaholics meeting haha. Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] MrMike2182:
Lol.. You're supposed to just delete the .md5 part so it's left with .tar what did you end up with? .tar.md5.tar? Lol.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] yes_have_some:
LOL naw man, since I've never had to do this before I had to search and search and search til I found what appeared to be applicable programs to convert. Out of 3, only 1 worked, and that gave me a "boot.tar.md5" file that was the only 1 that worked in Odin. (3.12.10 to be exact) tried others as well but phone kept giving me "Odin version error mismatch" or something like that. When I did delete what you had mentioned, Odin spat it out wouldn't even pass the check. Error on each one of those I did.

To be honest man, in June itll be 1 year that I've been doing this sort of thing with the rooting, mods, etc. I'm pretty good about going forth with things I have a clue about, not so confident about, mmm things like this lol. But seriously, it DID work(mostly) only got the panic with attempting to flash thru flashfire&safestrap - edit:since my last post it happened once while typing?. Compared to the previous 2 days man this thing would reboot into panic regardless of what you were doing within 3-5min at the most. Fact I got almost a full day out of it PLUS I noticed it ran much smoother overall ( guess that's what happens when you do that lol)

At this point I'm open to any and all input as I don't want anyone to hold my hand so to speak, but rather some type of details would be great since I learned all I know re:this over the last few days:laugh:
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] MrMike2182:
Did you right click on it and then select rename and then just delete the .md5 part? You don't have to use any app to change it.. And make sure you are using the regular odin to flash stock based firmware because comsey odin is only for root.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] yes_have_some:
Yes did the rename/etc for some reason Odin wasn't having it. It worked with "Tar - tool odin" the other 2 I used just got errors. I'm pretty sure you meant DO use normal Odin for the kernel correct? I do know comsey is root only (i.e. Samfail)
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] anthonykash:
I've tried the terminal to, still only works for me with hardware key combo. I'll take it, thanks dev
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] MrMike2182:
Yeah you're correct! I see the autocorrect bit me in the-ass again! Lol.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] yes_have_some:
Lol I figured that had to be what it was ?. So it seems for the time being as long as I don't flash anything, I'm alright. Lol. But the mods&zips tho!!! ? (that was funny when you asked if I ended up with a tar.md5.tar file lmao)

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] yes_have_some:
Ok so here I am still getting kernel panics every time I attempt to flash anything. All of this became a thing after restoring a backup taken by safestrap B02. I've reflashed the kernel multiple times already, don't know what else to do aside from a full wipe. Once again I'm using samfail 2.5, TWIZtd rom 2.2. I have no idea at this point what is causing this. At times they still occur when not flashing anything, making this an ever growing problem (although after flashing kernel again it seems to hold it off but still returns regardless). I've posted the logs above somewhere if they are of use. Please guys I really need the help to get my device back to a stable state. Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] butchieboy:
The only time I got kernel panic was when I tried to flash something that conflicted with safestrap. I restored a backup a few times and it flashed just fine. Other times it didn't. I attempted to use weta mod and it caused issues. But since a clean install I have not had any problems. Where did you have your backup saved? Internal or micro sd? Your not doing a wipe before your restore are you?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] anthonykash:
Since updating to twiztd ROM from 2.2 to 2.5 I now get the safestrap splash screen on every reboot. Before I could only get there with hardware keys.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] butchieboy:
I still get kernel panic when I try to restore. Worked a couple times but last few tries it hasn't. But I do get splash screen when I reboot.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] yes_have_some:
I believe that the backup I restored was saved in internal storage. I did make backups in both external SD and internal SD, but in all seriousness man at this point I honestly am not 100pct sure... I know that doesnt help, but it's kinda where I am with my frustration with this ongoing issue. Secondly I can tell you for sure man that I didn't wipe prior to restoring the backup. I haven't had one single issue with the splash screen coming up every single time, so that works just fine as does apparently making the backups... I know I didn't flash anything that would've caused it because the first panic I got was maybe 5 min at most after I booted up AFTER restoring the backup.

Ahhh, bro you know what come to think of it since there was that issue with the external SD cards over 64gb(or was it 32?) not being recognized/unable to use, I have a samsung 128gb external SD that I used. So lol, yes - was restored from my external SD card :laugh: My discovering of being unable to flash came from trying to flash back to stock from TWIZtd rom to troubleshoot my wifi calling not working properly (unrelated issue long before safestrap was even released) and then afterwards trying to flash ANYTHING either in flashfire or safestrap TWRP results in Kernel panic every single time.

So, what say you? Think I should just wipe her clean and start again from there or is there any other fix that would clear it up? From reading your experience, I'm kind of thinking that a fresh start is potentially the only fix. Thanks for your help.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] butchieboy:
Fresh start in my opinion is always best. Most dont like setting up their device...me I love it that way Im sure everything is how it should be.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] yes_have_some:
Well between the Samsung backup for messaging and call logs, apps, then titanium backup for restoring the data for everything it's not as bad as it could be lol. Thanks again for your help bro, gonna get my PC up and running and ready to do a little work lol.
