Here is a method to unlock the Galaxy Skin in Fortnite without a Note9 or Tab S4!

I will attempt to upload my files to make the process easier for you, If you are impatient then you can attempt to make the modifications themselves. This isn't exactly very difficult, but their are specific things that must stay that somehow fool it into believing it is a Tab S4. I'm by no way an expert at system files, I just know enough to trip around and get what I want to work, if someone else is better at modifying and exactly what all the system files do go ahead and make a better version.

This was done on Samsung s8+ G955u (done over 10 times on 10 phones) so everything here will be focused on that. This may work for newer models, as I don't have a device I can't test it.

This can possibly damage the phone as you are flashing system files and I by no means am a expert why I recommend you edit yourself. If you accept the risk and know it's not my fault continue lol

Step 1:

Download the T830 AP file, the exact one I used was: M1AJQ.T830XXU1ARH1

(this device is very similar to the S8+ for some of the components so figured this would give me the best results)

Step 2:

Extract the system folder from the AP.img/tar whatever it may be

Step 3:

The folders we need are: App/Bin/Etc/Framework/Lib/Lib64/Priv-app/Build.prop

Everything else you can just delete as these are the files that need to be overwrote on the S8 rom to get it to work

Step 4:

Check the images attached for what I have in each folder. Again I'm no expert and your phone is NOT going to work this is only to get the skin and then flash back to what you were using before. Again if someone more experience wants to step in please do.

Step 5:

Flash G955u in Odin with SafeStrap Oreo build, you want to follow the guide up to booting safestrap. We DO NOT want the system to boot, we want it to go straight from Odin into SafeStrap.

Step 6:

Copy your files over to the device while in safestrap, remember where you saved it! I tend to put in the root of storage to make it easier for commands

Step 7:

Now we are going to overwrite the s8 files with our files from the Tab S4, we will do this with a command:

cp /sdcard/folder/* /system/folder

Where sdcard is where you saved your Tab Files and * is the folder your copying

Example:

cp /sdcard/framework/* /system/framework/

cp /sdcard/priv-app/* /system/priv-app/

This should copy files that don't exist and overwrite files that do

Step 8:

Download the build.prop below and replace your current build.prop

Since this is buggy and doesn't work perfectly I disabled the setup in the build.prop cause all we want to do is get in and run fortnite for 3 games. You will need to sign into the galaxy account to get the skin.

Step 9:

If all files and build.prop where flashed follow the guide for the Oreo rom on how to boot back into the rom, this just involves flashing a few files to get out of safestrap.

Step 10:

Your device should begin to boot, Network and other items wont work as well as having alot of force closes pop up. Don't worry it will work, like i said this is very butchered but gets what we want done. And should skip the setup as I had issues when it was trying to run. You USE WIFI FOR THE SKIN!!!!!!

Step 11:

Go to settings and sign into your Samsung account, THIS IS A MUST! If you arn't signed in and don't do it all through Galaxy Apps you will not receive the skin!

Step 12:

Open Galaxy apps and Galaxy Billing we need these to update before we sign into fortnite. After they are update download the Fortnite Installer from the GALAXY APPS STORE!!

Step 13:

After the installer has installed and installed the game we should now be able to use Fortnite.

Before you do ANYTHING go to the setting and make sure that it is set to Samsung for billing and then try and make a purchase. We arn't actually buying anything but we want to verify that we can authenticate to Samsung Billing. Also if it is outdated it will ask to update. Just click a V-buck package in the STORE and if it tries to charge you were good, if you get error update.

You can only get the skin through Samsung, so we want to make sure everything is set correctly.

Step 14:

Play the game you need 3 matches for the skin. After your done wait average time was 1-2 days for me but usually 12 hours

This does work and if anyone has an issue I will try my best to help. As I have said before this could work for other newer models possibly, but is 100% on the G955U. I had someone try a exyos in testing but he said no go but as I didn't have one I couldn't fool around to try and find a method.

To verify press your power button, if it says shut off tablet then it is working; it it says shut off phone it is not.
