[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] sfpOnt:
I really want to root and I am searching online since 4 days but couldn't find any clear information that i can fallow (or because of my lack of knowledge)

I don't care if i need to downgrade, or give up from "fancy" features. All i want a control on a device that i pay thousand $.

So my s8+ has:

One UI version : 1

Android Version: 9

Baseband Version: G955WVLU5CSC1 with BELL

I am new to rooting but big supporting of Open software, and idea of meaning of actually owning a device.

Please help, or any direction.

Thanks.

:D

I have been dreaming there would have a rooting method since 2017 ( I got the same phone as you but from Telus - I paid off and now switched to Rogers). As far as I know, since our phones' bootloader can't be unlocked, we can kiss goodbye for rooting. I told myself that being a two years old phone, if there would have a method it would have been surfaced. This S8+ would be my last Sam**** phone, I am preparing to sell it on eBay and switch to something like OnePlus ( they are the most easy phone to root).

Hey, he said "The method works for SM-G955U and SM-G955U1 models sold in the US." and his method posted before this new One UI version and security update came up... anyway i am asking him same question on email, hopefully he has time to reply.

After you get safe strap you can then do some magic a hacks and acheive a rooted nougat system. Again you cannot root oreo or pie with this method. But it does allow you to do 1 of 3 options. Root with nougat and rev 5 combo bootloader , install a oreo system and rev 5 oreo bootloader, or install pie with rev 5 bootloader. As of right now all 3 systems have a rev 5 bootloader

The SPL info it has is

I'm just wanting to make sure all of the is the stuff that comes with the stock tilt. I know these are all updates to the tilt too. If my tilt that I ordered is dated back to october or november do you think I will run into any problems with having this newer ROM and SPL? And my radio is the 1.27.14.09 that came with the rom.

[Asus Padfone X and S] SilensMort:
Hey all, I am HELLA late to the game here. but due to some unfortunate issues I've been driven back to my Padfone X and I realized how much I love this phone still. the only issue is it is so far out of date absolutely NOTHING works right. :(

so having trolled through all the posts on flashing newer versions of android onto it, I have found that they all reference resources from ASUS and some other sites that are no longer available.

does anyone still have copies of the recovery flash they used and the Rom they updated with? the only things I can find are for the new Padfone1 and Padfone2 which I am 99% sure will brick the phone. (please tell me if these will work because getting to Marshmallow or newer would be awesome.

thanks in advance!

On every tablet/phone I have ever used when you press and hold power for power options menu you get restart and power off.

Anyone found a way to customize this to have a restart option?

[Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drizzt09:
I would consider that a hard root (where you have to open up the hardware to root) as opposed to a soft root (purely software based). Also looks like Linux is a requirement. Don't have that. Thanks though
[Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Michajin:
just trying to help. Many have done it with ubuntu live USB (booting to a live OS from a flash drive). The opening of the device is easy. I actually installed ubuntu on a old computer (dual boot) to do the script. From nothing to root/unlocked would take about 1-2 hours. it is far simpler than it sounds. Sorry i couldn't help you, the fireOS blocks so many options... You can always sideload a advanced boot menu app that might not require root?
[Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drizzt09:
Ya thanks for trying. May be something I do in the future. Just not looking to go that route...yet . :)

I did look through about 20-25 of them in Google play and they pretty much all need root. :(

If you stumble across one let me know.

With this post I was hoping it would be simple and someone found a way to side load the 2018 version of that component (wishful thinking I guess)

Stock FireOS v5 is rather miserable, especially on low resource 7" gizmos. LIneage 12.1 significantly improves the experience and includes an enhanced power menu but does require root.

Ya stock 6 is on my 2 kids HD8(2018) tabs. But it comes with a restart option. It's just my 7(2017) that does not. Annoying to have to shutdown. Then manually start up. Not a deal breaker or enough to go hardware root it at this point (for me anyways).

[Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DragonFire1024:
Unless amazon activated global actions and added the option to the menu list, its not possible without root and modifying the framework.
[Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DB126:
Restart was not a standard Android power button option in Android 5 which FireOS v5 is based upon (although it could be enabled in custom ROMs or added via Xposed modules). Restart is 'standard' in Android 7.x (FireOS v6).
[Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DragonFire1024:
Even with an xposed module, the global actions menu wasn't activated so the module had no effect. Enabling the feature works and overrides Amazon's standard menu which you then have to install any module that hooks into the menu to literally customize it to any shape, color, size and add or remove any global action.
[Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DB126:
Good point for those remaining on FireOS v5. That said, there is absolutely no reason to do so once root has been secured on a Fire 7" 5th/7th gen.
[Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AmznUser444 Dev:
Can you modify the framework-res.apk using AdvancedApkTool to activate it.

Edit the configuration values in res/values/integers.xml using Notepad++ or Windows Notepad.

<!-- Here is the values

Yes, to be fully effective. And no, the benefit isn't worth the hassle if you are rooting FireOS only for this.

Many additional benefits come from unlocking including the ability to install custom ROMs (eg: Lineage) that natively supports this capability.

That said, none of this is a cake walk. Choose your poison wisely.

[Xperia Z5 Compact General] apsommer:
Well, I did it this time. :(

In a valiant attempt to install a custom ROM, I erased every partition using fastboot,

fastboot erase system
fastboot erase boot
fastboot erase userdata
fastboot erase recovery
fastboot erase cache

Now what I meant to do here was flash a recovery, using

//fastboot flash recovery TWRP.img

but repeating this so many times over the last 48 hours, I did not do above and instead went quickly right into below,

fastboot reboot

The system rebooted as I told it to ... right into a black void of nothing. Now their is no 'recovery' image and no 'bootloader' image ... the phone is hard bricked, won't turn on at all, dead. I was so close to getting to the custom ROM! Is there any chance to get it back into recovery mode? or have I learned a $350 lesson?

Edit: Further research indicates it may be possible to force the system into fastboot using a USB jig. Has anyone tried this method?
