@xozeus @Snowers96

my apologies for the delay. I was on holiday this weekend and am at work now. It's been a while and I tried a few things to get it working.

I probably won't be able to figure out the exact steps without reflashing, so there may be some trial and error. If someone figures out the exact sequence or best method, please post below.

things to try:

- NOTE: if Netflix detects your device as incompatible after you've fixed the issue, you have to clear the Netflix and Google Play services' cache + data then reboot before Netflix will work. (Not sure if all of this is required.)

- Hide Magisk Manager ( Enable MagiskHide under settings, it'll now be called Manager in your app list)

- Install MagiskHide Props Config (you can install busybox and termux if you want as well)

- Use MagiskHide to hide Magisk from Netflix, Google Play Services (Galaxy Wearables and LG ThinQ were also issues for me)

- You may need to edit you build properties:

-- Open your termux

-- type su

-- type props

-- 1 - edit device fingerprint

-- f - pick a fingerprint

-- 7 -- Google

-- 18 -- Pixel 3

-- 2 -- android 10

-- save it

You can also probably do the above steps using ES File Explorer and editing /system/build.prod here's a guide https://www.addictivetips.com/mobil...rk-on-your-unsupported-rooted-android-device/

You could also use BuildProp editor

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jrummy.apps.build.prop.editor&hl=en_ZA&gl=US

I think after hiding Magisk Manager, hiding Magisk from the apps, changing your device to be a Google Pixel 3 in the build properties, then using Magisks Props Config. That makes the devices signature valid, tricks the apps into not seeing root, the apps will detect the phone as a Google Pixel 3 with a valid signature and then the Satey checks should pass.

Hope it helps! Let us know if you've had success.

Thanx

Every things work perfectly

The screen cast dont work but when i turn the location on its works

Sent from my sm-g950fd
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] c627627:
Just got a brand new SM-G950F - it has Android 7 on it.

I would be grateful for your help with installing LineageOS.

I have installed TWRP / similar software on every Galaxy model before S8, since Galaxy 1. I do have some knowledge. This phone will not go into initial TWRP no matter what.

1. OEM Lock is TURNED ON.

2. USB Debugging is turned ON - many TWRP instructions only mention to turn on OEM Lock but not USB Debugging - why?

3. Auto update system is ON - should it be ON or OFF?

4. SM-G950F TWRP tar file is twrp-3.5.0_9-0-dreamlte.img.tar from here:

Samsung Galaxy S8 (Exynos)

Disclaimer:Team Win strives to provide a quality product. However, it is your decision to install our software on your device. Team Win takes no ...

twrp.me

I assume it doesn't matter where you download it from, Europe or Americas, they are mirrors.

5. DOES THE VERSION OF ODIN MATTER?

I was using Odin3 v3.14.1_3B_PatcheD

6. I have Odin Auto Reboot UNCHECKED.

7. After AP file twrp-3.5.0_9-0-dreamlte.img.tar is STARTED

Do you only have ONE SHOT at entering TWRP or else you have to reinstall twrp-3.5.0_9-0-dreamlte.img.tar?

I *always* get Samsung LOGO, and have to reinstall stock BL/AP/CP/CSC combo to fix back to boot into stock.

Can just one of the BL/AP/CP/CSC be installed, or does it have to be the entire combo every time?

What am I doing wrong?

After Odin finishes flashing, do you really only have just one chance to get into TWRP?

I wanted to try ADB but the device shows as UNAUTHORIZED even though I pressed to authorize when pop-up appears, still always unauthorized.

Some web sites talk about additional steps to unlock the boot loader but is it only OEM Lock TURNED ON?

With or without USB Debugging ON!?

After flashing TWRP, I tried to turn of Galaxy S8 SM-G950F using combo:

Volume Down + Volume Up + Bixby + Power button to manually shut off the phone.

But it always resets instead of shuts down, and I hold the classic

Volume UP + Bixby + Power button manually STILL JUST SAMSUNG LOGO and you can't even get back into stock without a complete reimage.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] jofan:
This happened to me too.

In TWRP (I use 3.5.0_9-0) if you press the four lines bottom right do you see any red text?

I had an error message saying "can't mount preload" and I solved it by wiping preload (Wipe / Advanced Wipe / Select "Preload" / Swipe to Wipe / Reboot) and then installing again.

Wiping Preload will screw up all your apps permissions but since the phone is not booting and we can't see the preload partition I found no other choice. It's something to have in mind...
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] jpmeijers:
I'm also affected. Installed the 20210215 update this morning after the phone asked to download and install it. After that I have a boot loop into TWRP.

I have tried manually selecting the latest (20210215) and previous (20210115) updates from /data/lineageos_updates, but neither wants to boot and falls back to TWRP.

In the TWRP log output there is no red text or any errors mentioned.

I tried wiping Preload, but that does not have an effect.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] jofan:
Hi,

First have you read the install instructions for TWRP?

https://xdaforums.com/t/recovery-official-twrp-for-galaxy-s8-and-s8-exynos.3595102/#post-72004368

A few points for clarification:

1, Are you in Odin/download mode when flashing TWRP to your phone?

2, In ODIN/download mode is your phone warning you of what's to come?

3, Are you agreeing to the warning by pressing correct key/key combination?

4, Is ODIN3 (I'm using 3.14.4) accepting the phone and reading blue "0:[COMx]" with Log "<ID:0/00x> Added!!"?

5, Is ODIN showing green SUCCESS after flashing?

6, When flashing the .tar image you should use the AP option.

7, When ODIN finishes flashing and the phone restarts it is going to check and "reset" recovery if we don't manage to enter recovery during first boot-up. If you are to slow or unable to enter recovery just flash again with ODIN and have another go.

All the best!
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] c627627:
jofanm thank you for trying to help me.

Galaxy S8 SM-G950F with OEM unlock ON / USB debugging ON. Android 7 is stock.

Please find below sequence of events:

Warning then Downloading screens then proof that Odin3 v3.14.1_3B_PatcheD is being used correctly with correct TWRP image file and placement.

Auto Reboot is UNCHECKED in Odin, allowing me to choose what to do after a successful PASS!

Last picture below is what always happens. Samsung logo.

After PASS! - can people manually shut off the phone, how?

Volume Down + Volume Up + Power button SHOULD manually shut off the phone.

But it reboots instead, can the phone be shut down manually to allow for a deliberate sequence of buttons to enter TWRP.

What is the ORDER in which the buttons should be pressed after PASS! and reboot?

Simultaneously hold volume UP and Bixby and Power Button until you get into TWRP.

Does order in which they are pressed and held matter? Otherwise what could possibly be wrong according to these pictures:

P. S.

As if it would make a difference, I also tried to see if I could install TWRP through adb but command

adb reboot bootloader

reboots the phone back into stock - not into bootloader...
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] jofan:
What is the reason why you need to "choose what to do after a successful PASS!"? Aren't you finished with ODIN when it says success? What more do you need to do from ODIN?

The instructions I linked to reads:

"9. Hold [VOLUME UP] + [BIXBY] + [POWER] on your phone and then press start on Odin.

10. Wait for the phone to reboot. DO NOT release [VOLUME UP] + [BIXBY] + [POWER] or you may not reboot into TWRP. "

To my knowledge the order you start pressing the buttons shouldn't matter - you just need to press them all.

Have you tried following the instructions? What was the outcome?

Also your ODIN doesn't look like my version...
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] c627627:
Would you kindly attach your Odin to this thread?

Maybe also link to where Odin should be downloaded from in the future since original instructions only link to old versions of Odin, from several years ago.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] c627627:
I spent another hour looking for unpatched Odin v3.14 but could not find it.

The link displayed on the screenshot of your Odin is dead, as you can see:

mobilerndhub.sec.samsung.net/hub/site/odin/

Threads on xda have old links and links to patched / hacked Odin versions but no links to unpatched Odin v3.14

Can anyone reading this kindly post a link to regular Odin v3.14?

There are threads that link to many (many) versions of Odin but which thread is the source for normal safe Odin v3.14 download just to install TWRP on Glaxy S8 Exynos?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] jkaart:
I get also this preloa error but nevertheless rom worked before this boot loop problem and now after full wipe everything and flash rom like no any problem.

And I didn’t come up with any other fix for this than full wipe and reflash rom.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] scr1m3:
I had a similar issue. What resolved it for my was flashing an earlier version of TWRP. I flashed 3.4.0.

Hello ,

I have the same problem.

Can someone please explain to me where the problem really lies?

Is there a custom ROM that does not know the problem "extented length"?

In Germany, the Personalausweis is making this long-length NFC transmission more and more common.

Thank you very much.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] eksa78:
Is Screen Cast supported? First post lists it as bug, but it's posted long time ago.. That's more or less the only feature i need, as my phone would be used together with Android Auto to cast videos etc.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] xbnf12:
Hello,

I did following to ensure that IDApp2 can recognize my Personalausweis (ID card):

- In Magisk: Install Riru base and Riru - EdXposed modules

- Install EdXposed Manager (github)

- Install NFC Extended Length Xposed Fix (Play Store)

- Then activate NFC Extended Length Xposed Fix in EdXposed Manager -> Modules

- Reboot

The Ausweisapp2 should be able to test the Personalausweis now.

[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] Eddiemc:
Lineage doesn't come with gapps. Any gapps update is your responsibility, and if you have YouTube, that's your "fault"🙂

To get rid of YouTube, Format system, flash rom, then Pico or nano gapps (if you want play store) or some small package without YouTube and you're free.

Use Vance's installer for latest Vance. Works like a charm.

If you don't want to/can't delete YouTube, simply disable or freeze it and use Vance's app to install no root version. Works like a charm, and I prefer it over the rooted version.

Hello Everyone:

I have downloaded the 3-31-2021 image from here: https://images.stricted.net/test/18.1/lineage-18.1-20210331-UNOFFICIAL-dreamlte.zip

No issues really, started from Official Android 9 from Samsung, and used heimdall to flash the latest TWRP recovery. Then, with TWRP recovery, flashed the above ROM.

No major issues so far, however, the recovery partition now has Lineage OS Recovery. If I flash back TWRP, either twrp-3.5.0_9-0-dreamlte.img or twrp-3.5.1_9-0-dreamlte.img, it works for the first time, however as soon as I boot into system, the recovery partition gets overwritten with Lineage Recovery, therefore when booting back to recovery, TWRP is not there anymore and Lineage recovery is back... Is this normal behaviour or just made by design? Otherwise, please point me to the right way to leave a permanent TWRP recovery in the partition. Your answer will be appreciated. In any case, THANK-YOU for a great ROM!
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] trinca:
Hello Everyone again:

I was trying to root the ROM, and tried different methods, the only one that gave the expected result was Magisk-v22-0.zip, using Lineage Recovery. I downloaded it from https://magisk.me/zip/ . It run the script, and placed the apk, when booted into system, installed BusyBox. Now it's rooted.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] 2mecky:
When flashing the rom first time you get a choice to install or not install lineage recovery, you should not select it. Maybe reflash and make sure you take note when it gets to this section when installing

Previous password - I entered the Google account password and even the SIM card PIN password, and each time after it showed the option to delete all items

I came here to share my joy, that I have been using this ROM for a few months and I love it so much ! Everything is so smooth, my phone is actually doesn't heat as much compared to using original stock ROM, and god.. finally ANDROID 11 ! Thank you so much for building and developing this custom ROM !

This really should be an official ROM, I haven't find any major problem with mine (SM-G950FD). Maybe it's just me, the battery feels like running out a little bit faster than the original ROM, even on idle. However, it's nothing compared to how much I appreciate it for being so much faster with no more excessive heating. As of now, I'm still hunting for a great camera app and been recommending all of my friends to use LineageOS !! XD
