Safestrap

Thanks for the guide! I am at step C and it says if unsure go back to step A but I am not on safestrap and cannot get the phone to show as Qualcomn 9008. I followed all the steps for having trouble with EDL but to no avail...do you have a guide for safestrap? Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] jrkruse:
In instructions it tells you too choose a method too enter edl. There are 3 different ways. A. Through safestrap. So if you don’t already have safestrap installed you obviously can’t use this method. Then there is B. You flash combo firmware I provided and follow instructions. A data wipe is required for phone to boot up with combo firmware. Then there is C. Since your asking you have no business using the C method so you probably better use the combo firmware method to enter edl

[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] jrkruse:
Exactly. Correct. On pie To enter safestrap you have to flash safestrap BL and to go back to rom you have to flash regular BL

You're right in the sense of it does matter on what kernel panic, and in a different sense, you want to look at what you did right before the kernel panic 2 know that you dont wanna redo in the future but looking at it broadly youre kind of recalibrating the alignment per se I mean I might be like totally wrong but I could see it that way.

Rooted_G95*USQS3BRB1.rar

Thank for your reply, I used step C and everything went fine till Post #2

Directions

Safestrap Method step 1.

I flashed the system.img file but now the phone boots no farther than

SAMSUNG GALAXY S8 and powers down after that.

I went back through Directions in Post #1 and everything is back to normal. I think i am confused as to which file under Downloads post #2 is your Rooted Rom that i should be flashing in Safestrap ?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] sleepysy:
Does this mean that a data wipe is not required for method C?

I didn't get a chance to backup, since this reflashing was not optional in my case. I'm just curious if I should flash full firmware in odin to get a chance to backup in my old safestrap /pie setup. OR, if a data wipe isn't necessary for method C (I got up to recovery mode, after completing EDL)

Thanks

I spent hours on this and was stuck with bootloops and kernel panics. I couldn't get into Safestrap. Then I turned off the phone and press and held the Volume Up + Bixby button + Power button and got into Safestrap! Maybe someone might find this method useful.

Also Safestrap is pretty much TWRP. Maybe mentioning that would help.

Thats right you could extract the system.img.ext4 from partcyborg rom rename it to system.img copy to phone and flash as image in safestrap. You are on combo bootloader already so the rom should boot. You might have to wipe data

Heck as long as you got safe strap you can do what I did even too. Take a stock IMG non debloated. From any nougat firmware. Extract said firmware to get sys img then flash BusyBox and system mode super user. There was a thread somewhere for that. I have pretty much all of it in a guide

I made to flash a full stock but rooted IMG as a other option to part cyborgs rom. Which I absolutely love. Just was way to debloated for some things I had to have working.

But when flashing any non rooted img you have to have system mode su not systemless as that try to mod the boot img and we cant

---------- Post added at 09:20 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:16 PM ----------

In part this now allows us to downgrade totally back to oldest system firmware which before technicly yes we could but the combo nougat is pretty much a useless system. But as long as you remain on revision 5 bootloader which now we have nougat oreo and pie revision 5s bootloaders. Downgrade of system is perfectly safe...

And if im not mistaken since this is edl they pretty much cannot patch this. Dont hold me to this one but this is a possibility

This is pretty awesome, I just tried with an old nougat system image I had and think I flashed the wrong combo of items and it just hung on the samsung splash with the engineer jargon at the top. So as of right now I got my self back to ZSAB to do this boot into safestrap..then from there flash my system.img(it is prerooted nougat with safe strap if I remember right) reboot back into bootloader...flash the bl_delete_cache file..... or would I be flashing just the bl_safestrap file if anything Ill get it figured out lol

Did you run cmd as admin?

Did you disable all firewalls and antivirus?

Did your computer already get the (RSA?) key prior to this? (ie. when phone was on, and in OS)

Those are all common causes to freezing on the screen like that, prior to it writing any blocks.

I know I went stepwise through the failures, till I eventually ran cmd as admin by right clicking start menu. Luckily I had the key already, from when I installed safestrap in the beginning of the year.

Now, if I could only get an eng boot on my sm-g935 for version A (comes after version 9)...The only way to recover the phone after getting a security error after flashing was to use the verizon software recovery tool, which installs the newest firmware (I purposely stayed on bootloader v4 till that day)

OR figure out how to figure out how to edit APN's without root. I essentially only had the 2nd phone/phoneline to use as a free wifi hotspot.... But, I digress

You can't install anything as a 2nd rom.

Well, not unless something has changed from the earlier S8 safestrap versions. Trust me, I had wanted to do the same exact thing when I first installed it, and possibly have another backup OS.

Although safestrap supports multiple roms, the S8 version does not. So, nothing to explain.

Hey!

For those thinking they have a brick and are about to cry I did find a way to fix the black screen which you got from zero-ing your bootloader. You take a exacto-knife and a credit card and carefully peel off the back cover. Then you unscrew 8 little screws to remove a plastic cover. Then disconnect the battery for like 2 minutes. It will boot to download mode when you plug it back in and put it all together. Also when you are waiting the 2 minutes just spam press the power button to drain the phone completely. It basically still doesnt have a bootloader but isnt in EDL mode anymore. You just run the script and viola phones good as new.
