Flashfire S8 - Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers

Hey guys, has anyone tried Flashfire to install OTA on S8 yet?
I want to flash July Patch without bricking or having to wipe whole phone. I have seen people complaining about bootloops when using Flashfire.
Am still an amateur with respect to rooting/flashing. But I managed to root and change bixby button to G-assistant.
Thank you.

Someone did it in another post but I agree with dyno in not trying it.
Why wouldnt you just use odin?...its proven to work.
sent from my Note FE, S8 plus, S7 edge or S6

I flashed the July Patch through odin itself.
App like Flashfire would be really great.
Thank you guys.

I think you can, as long as somebody has made a zip file from it

[Q] Note Edge SM-N915G

Does anyone know where i can find ANY custom roms for the SM-915G? Ever since I've brought the Note Edge, I feel like it needs alot of enhancements as I absolutely love using custom roms.
My advice is keep wait for more developers . Same here "G"
Same boat as you both , 915G waiting for some good custom rom developers to release their amazing roms
Me too. 915G stock firmware + root + CWM from this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-edge/general/easy-steps-stock-odin-n915tuvu1anjl-sm-t2943993. Now can not pair with my Moto 360 anymore as bluetooth problem. SuperSU takes very slow to response. Installing any softwares on Play Store or apk files are the same, it took 5-10 minutes to complete installed. Boring... Waiting to a custom rom from developer to save me. Now, it is a nightmare...

Yupp didnt see the firmswares section when i first check, its alive again... now wheres the source
Hello. I bought a Samsung N915G from Saudi Arabia and has not in setting European languages (German, Roamania ...). Please give me details how to proceed to install another version from European soft (N915FY) on my phone. Thank you in advance.
As we have no Rom's to flash, I decided to try and flash the most recent no carrier firmware from SamMobile. (N915GXXU1ANK4)
I was on the Original Vodafone firmware and I have to say the non-bloat version is much snappier. I needed to factory reset and set everything up again. However now I feel like the phone is performing more like it should with theses specifications.

TWRP for the Sprint Note Edge

Does anyone know if somebody has compiled TWRP for our device yet? If not, I am going to do it but I may need some help. Anyone have experience with this? It will be my first recovery compilation. Your thoughts?

There is no TWRP for the Note Edge. The Note 4 version is compatible and has been used since the beginning, as indicated by most root tutorials on this forum for all Edge variants.

The note 4 twrp does have a few quirks on the edge (screen lock can't be disabled, white bars on either side) so I'm sure no one's going to complain if a dedicated note edge version was released though lol

G920F on G920V?

New to rooting ig, I have a Verizon S6 on Nougat and im looking to root it, but the last phone I rooted bricked so im kinda iffy on it. Every time i find a video or a guide on rooting an S6 on Nougat, its all for G920F, all i need to know is if I can use those files for my G920V.
I would be using TWRP 3.1.0.0, which I believe is universal, Odin 3.12.7, which i believe is also universal, and Magisk 12.0, which is what i am iffy about.

Root for Canadian S8+ SM-G955W variants (Working Root Method)

So there's quite a bite of confusion for the canadian SM-G955W variant . Was wondering if anyone can clear some stuff up for me.
Is there a Root method, for the SM-G955W S8+ ... ??
and can u link it if there is...
None of the CF Auto root **** seems to be working . any info would help.
sorry for being a noob...
*UPDATE* , ok so , Threw some research on here and on youtube i have managed to Root the s8+ sm-g955w canadian Rogers variant (rwc)
For all My fellow Canadians , follow this video to a T and it will be easy. ->
Also, Head over to sam mobile. i have linked the SM-G955W S8+ firmware for u , This is your back up , just to be safe, (nothing happend to me all i needed from this firmware package was the CSC an the systme image from the AP file) - >
[url]https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/galaxy-s8/SM-G955W/[/URL]
Be sure to Follow EVERYTHING this guy does, Honestly took me 2 hours , to pause every 30 seconds to just make sure over an over that everything was correct, So , with that said, If i need to show proof on my phone that this works here yah go
Root proof SM-G955W canadian variant https://imgur.com/gallery/Tgz4o
Admins please lemme kno if im not supposed to link anything i.e. youtube videos, please delete it, i apologize ahead of time,
with that said, Theres no more confusion , the SM-G955U root method works for SM-G955W (ROGERS)(RWC) carriers, havent tried with bell or not even sure if it matters tbh, .
Cons so far :
1.The phone will not show charging nor charge when it reaches 80 % battery life, (SMALL ISSUE TO ME)
2.And im not sure if the CSC file is whats making my bixby Fudge up. But im going to try to flash the CSC file from (XAC) variant from sammobile. an see if that fixes it, or if someone knows that Bixby is done when you root , please comment so i can include that in the cons, lol
I tried messin around a little. After a few apps. One of them read this
Root https://imgur.com/gallery/ScXsQ
Im going to assume this is the reason bixby wont work either. ??
Thanks XDA staff an devs, for all the support an help when i asked. Fu*kin bangin job on this community

im not 100 percent about carriers , but the model of the phone is what matters just before you start the rooting process head over to sammobile, an make sure they have the TELUS variant, u need to match your radios, ect. youll see in the video, theres, a files you need to extract an flash to the phone with flashfire, thats the file you need for your carrier or else youll be stuck with a us variant an if that happens i think you may get hit with roaming charges , but other than the carrier bro, im positive u can do this same root method if sammobile has your correct files, btw, u may wanna start the sammobile downloads an hour before u start the root, lol , i made the mistake an the free download speed for sammobile is no more than 15mbps so even with my 1000 mbsp "gigabyte speeds" with rogers it took almost 2 hours, lol gl bro, an enjoy.. p.s folllllow the instuctions to a t bro, pause the video as much as u need, u dont want a paper weight,

Before I root Rogers S8+, has anyone fixed this 80% battery charge and Bixby
I have yet to find anything on the web Google or YouTube on my situation. I have a Rogers Samsung Galaxy S8 Plus SM G955W and I keep getting the update pop up for Oreo. I do not want to upgrade as I'm fine with nougat. I made sure before all of this in developer mode auto updates was off. One day the pop-up came up and I accidentally pressed the update button. I quickly paused it and it's at 2% but it keeps popping up to keep downloading. I have backed up my full phone but I'm looking to find out how to backup the OS so I don't have to use a computer.
I don't what to update at all.
There must be a way to delete or hide this notification.

No fix for the battery yet. As its a Samsung image file. So not sure when or how it will be patched.
Also Bixby is still not working. (I fu*kin hate Bixby) use ok Google lol.
Other than that. Once you root. You will not receive update notifications at all to update phone.

Sampwnd or samfail are the only 2 methods for snapdragon.
OK thanks. That's too bad north America didn't get the other variant. The root method is system root Might not end up rooting
i have a g950w bell variant ad ive been on Oreo beta1 g950u and going back to g950u 7.0 with root
ive converted from g950w to g950u and back and not tripped knox so far
I've used this method and worked fine with my g955w phone. Carriers don't matter, just the model of the device

It is a very common but completely incorrect notion that rooting will trip Knox. Root has nothing to do with phones turning 0x1. The only thing that can make that happen is flashing and booting an unsigned kernel. Since that is impossible on locked bl it's impossible to trip

Rooting

Hi everyone!
I recently got my hands on a s8+ (G955f) and i'm trying to root it buy i'm really lost.
I did try to root it one time, twrp+no verity+magisk while on Oreo, then i installed magisk manager and both things seemed ok (at least to my knowledge) but the second i take my eyes off the phone, "only official released binaries...".
After that i installed Pie stock firmware since i couldn't use Oreo.
I'd like to try again but theres a lot of info (new and out of date) and i don't even know whats good and what isn't.
TL;DR: Want to root the phone but i don't know what to do, can someone kindly point me out on what to do/share me a link?
Thank you.

Anyways, thank you!
