Ok... So... I did what that page said, tried out the new file as noted, allowed modifications and... Boom - first reboot red error.

I'm trying to flash back to stock but now I'm trying to fix this: <ID:0/010> Complete(Write) operation failed.

I'll get this flashed back today and leave it there.

NOT sure if this is a consideration but I am on the September 2018 security update.

DOA: Phone is in a dead loop. Cant flash.

galaxy s8 check fail (boot loader) device 4 binary 3

If I skip the BL file I get some other crap errors. What the hell.

Smart Switch wont recognise the phone. says not unrecognised.

FINALLY FOUND A V4 bootloader image!

Damn this phone is a *****!
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] spawnlives:
Ok so what error did you get

The device 4 binary 3 error in Odin means you are flashing older firmware than what is on your phone

Software updates seem to make things harder

If still interested have a look at this thread below l think this is based on latest update (your firmware version).

Hello everybody,

I just got the Galaxy Note 9 and ran into a bit of a problem.

Although I checked the option for hide content of notifications for Whatsapp groups, they are still displayed on my lockscreen.

I have the same, identical, settings for Whatsapp messages, and they are hidden on my lockscreen, as they should be.

Has anyone else dealt with this problem, or does anyone have a possible solution to it?

Or -v1.5.65.0 as the best ?

Also why are you installing Titanium Backup, what was intended for it?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Loupps:
Hello,

The stock G95xF_Stock_Kernel_CRB7.zip found there https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=746010030569956301 does'nt contain magisk nor twrp.

So you have to flash both stock G95xF_Stock_Kernel_CRB7.zip and magisk.

Please refer this topic https://www.xda-developers.com/how-to-install-magisk/ to download magisk

Then you will have to install "magisk manager" and "official twrp app"
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Loupps:
If you are able to communicate with the device thru odin (the box COM should be blue with a random port number and you should see Added!!! or Removed!!! when you connect or disconnect your device) or backup your device thru smart switch, it's mean your driver are running fine.

Titanium Backup is able to perform a full backup on SDcard as there is a root access.

Smart Swich is not able to fully backed up (right access issue) the configurations for some applications. And it's forgot the SMS notification configuration, strange!!

Helium (without root access) is able to backed up few applications but said it's ok for some others even if it's failed. Don't properly work on SDcard, so you have to move the carbon directory from internal device to SDcard before flash or format any things.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] futiless:
Regarding installing magisk I understand … but would you recommend me to upgrade my bootloader and phone or use CRB7 and upgrade after. Which is a better option?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] alexander_sirakov:
After rooting, how do we update with next version of the firmware without loosing root?

Probably flash the new firmware using Odin without restart and then flash the corresponding kernel version from the link above using TWRP?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Loupps:
I don't know the release date for the CRB7 but according to sammobile the latest version seems CRI5. I hope the previous number is not important. For my tested version, it's 3 and for this version it's 4.

I've checked the G95xF_Stock_Kernel_CRI5.zip is containing TWRP and magisk for S8 and S8+.

So my advise is to

- upgrade first to G950FXXU4CRI5 (download from sammobile ; from my point of view, the country is not an issuer) using odin without restore your data at end then

- apply the root process following this topic by flashing G95xF_Stock_Kernel_CRI5.zip instead of G95xF_Stock_Kernel_CRGH_v2.zip

- restore your data
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Loupps:
Of cause you will lost the root access if you're upgrading your device except if you use some specific tools. This is because, the upgrade consist to put an image into a partition. I don't know if you're talking about automatic system update but on my side, it's off as I want to stay to my current stable version.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] selimtini:
CRI5 gas got sama path for rooting

Can be rooted by using sama method

950f CRI5
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] futiless:
First of all the data partition is of no value ... yet..

This almost completes my question yet, my CRB7 is from Feb and you say upgrade to CRI5 which would in fact be a downgrade. This still begs the question as well,,, I guess I should have mentioned I want to run the latest bootloader and 8.1/9 roms with recent modem etc.

Should I CRI5 provide me any benefit lost by upgrading the bootloader?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Loupps:
I mean about an upgrade from CRB7 to CRI5 using an official released version. The CRI5 has been officially released on september 2018.

The ambasadii stock kernel seems to collaspe the boot partition (to avoid the stucking message) and the recovery partition (to install TWRP instead of the official recovery tool) and root the system.

So adventure is adventure, it should work to only flash the CRI5 bootloader, flash TWRP and then flash the ambasadii stock kernel. At end, you shoud be root and kept your CRB7 rom.

But keep in mind that at the format data step, you will lost all your personal configuration. So I'm clearly don't understand why you are trying to mix rom.

Where to get the CRI5 original bootloader?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] N1NJATH3ORY:
I’m in catch 22, shall i root or wait for slow Mo and emoji’s updates? Man I’m on the exact firmware, that your guide is written for. Would there be any way to update once I’m rooted to slow Mo emoji firmware without breaking root? Sorry last time i rooted was Android 4.4.4 and Android 6.0.1.. Since them days, so much has changed Samsung really is making it harder to root there high end smartphones, i am rooting Galaxy Tab S4 10.5 but that feels so easy to root, as i don’t want to go through re-root backing up process etc. on the S8+?

So my question is shall i wait for the slow Mo update? And then root? Or shall i root and then apply slow Mo update? What’s the best course of action? Or what would you do? Thanks..
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Loupps:
Please have a look on this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Npc-PCutvvA CRI5 is compatible with slow Mo and emoji’s.

So, my advice is to download the official CRI5 version (on SamMobile firmware) then rooting using the root process following this topic by flashing G95xF_Stock_Kernel_CRI5.zip instead of G95xF_Stock_Kernel_CRGH_v2.zip and you will have slow MO and be able to install emoji's apps.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Loupps:
You have to download the fully ROM on SamMobile firmware (that's should be a good thing in case of recover process to have the fully rom on your side)
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] N1NJATH3ORY:
Thank you so much! Quick question i purchased my S8+direct from Samsung website there's no BTU CRI5 ? Does it matter lets say i pick poland or spain ? See pics for what i mean.. Thanks again..

P.S.S Sammobile sucks for firmware download speeds, updato.com is so fast 2 mins fully donwloaded, sammobile 2 hours unless your on a piad plan!
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Loupps:
The country is not an issue except if you phone is locked to a network. That was the case in the past but now we brough phone from china and network operator from another way. So two ways: wait a couple of day the UK released version or download the south africa one as they are speacking british english too.

You're right about sammobile but I'm downloading and go to another activity... I've never tried updato.com, sammobile is more readable from my point of view.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] RikoudoS:
Anyway to use this without sd card?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Loupps:
After the format data, reconnect the device and you will be able to see the internal storage with only the TWRP directory. (at the step 14. for this topic)

Copy/paste or drag/drop the G95xF_Stock_Kernel_CRGH_v2.zip at the root and you will be able to flash it.

Another way should be to connect an USB key thru the usb connector delivered with your S8.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] ZainHikary:
Is there a way to do this without wiping the phone, I dont wanna lost a lot of stuff and backing up.will take ages because I have so much on this device
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Loupps:
Sorry the format data is needed!!

I'm fully understanding what you mean! yesterday, I did it again with the CRI5 ROM and the recovery was done using both smart switch and titanium backup and at end I had to retype all email passwords (bluemail), edit a file for waze and change the text song notification and maybe I gonna discover some others issues.

It's taking about 3 or 4 hours for backup/update ROM/root the device/recover/check

so I bought a unlucked SM-G950F with firm G950FXXU4CRK1 firmware and before I go sit in the corner and mope I just wanted to confirm that here is no root for this firmware yet. I'm with att and my service works great but no wifi calling no volte no samsung, Google, or android pay. I'm not new to rooting been a member of this website for ever and have rooted every phone I've had except my last lg style 3 because my placement came updated and unrootable but any ways if someone would be nice enough to confirm my suspicions I would appreciate it greatly. I really hope I'm wrong and just missed something
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Loupps:
VoLTE is available, please check in Settings>Connections>Mobile networks> and turn on VoLTE calling and please have a look below if wifi calling is available there else download an application.

Are you connected to a gmail address?

If you want to use your phone to pay, the root is a break down as many of those kind of application denied to work on rooted device. But for my point of view it's a guaranty in case of stolen device.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] phukov87:
there is no option for for volte or wifi I know rooting will stop the tap and pay apps from working but this is a stock GSM unlocked phone and they still dont work I tried to include screen shots but it wouldn't let me keeps saying bad request

I have S8+ G955FD stock CRK1 rom, all i need is to root it, so all i need to do is to flash latest TWRP then Stock_Kernel_G95xF_CRK1.zip*, as discriped in post 1?

this will change the kernel also, or it will keep it stock?

.

and is there any way to root mine without the data wipe?

Pls. advice
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Loupps:
Hello,

Of cause you have to download both

- the ambasadii stock kernel (Stock_Kernel_G95xF_CRK1.zip zip file) there: https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=11410963190603872259 you will find 2 directories for S8 and S8+ even for TWRP.

- and TWRP from https://dl.twrp.me/dream2lte/

Only the system part is collapsed, the ROM is kept and you will be rooted but you have to keep in mind that all applications to pay will not run anymore (like samsung pay and so on) and the knox will be set to 0x1.

Please back up your data (using Smart Switch plus another backup app like helium) before processing.

Be careful about where the backup files are stored, it should be found on external device stockage because at the step 12, you will perform a data format.

helium backup files are stored into an internal directory named carbon and it would be lost. If you ask for external storage, the backup is not fully!

Please keep me in touch, I will update the post #1 by adding you feedback.

Thanks Loupps,

I was looking for a simple root without kernel or bootloader change, i was looking only for magisk root only after flashing the twrp
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Loupps:
Thanks for your update.

Unfortunetly, I have tried a simple root but samsung have added many trap to avoid the rooting process (OEM Unlock/RMM State Bypass and so on)

The ambasadii stock kernel is only including all bypass traps and magisk root.

All processes I previously found are performing the format data because samsung added another trap by encrypting the data partition.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] thermax04:
Thanks again for your support.

Last question (hopefully ?), if iam going to flash a custom rom over stock, all i need is to flash TWRP then the custom rom directly (th3 custom rom includes the magisk for root), correct?

any other files needed?
