Can Oreo android 8 firmware be rooted on s8 exynos? G955FXXU1CRAP - Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers

HI Guys, I have installed the G955FXXU1CRAP at my s8+ but when I try to flash twrp with odin it get status fail and the phone says that installation of custom binaries are not allow (OEM LOCK and RMM STATE: PRENORMAL).
Did you tryed to install Twrp and root G955FXXU1CRAP? How you solve this bootloader lock?.
thanks in advance.
Alex.

In order to root you have to flash TWRP and for that OEM must be unlocked. You have to wait 7 days with the phone on (without reseting) to get capable of unlock OEM in developer options, due to a new security issue with Samsung.
I'm in the same situation. 4 days and 10 hours left.

This has been said a bunch of times throughout the S8 Plus threads - but I will give it to you again.
your phone is locked - y ou will not be able to flash anything until you pass the 168 hour (7 day) period. When you do get to that point, you can flash twrp, root and or flash a custom rom. Whatver you do, before you reboot your phone, flash the file you find at this thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=75360965&postcount=22 It will make it so you don't have to do that again. Your phone will not get locked again and the RMM State will be NORMAL - instead of Pre-normal.
That is the only thing you can do. And it is important to remmeber to flash the RMM Fix before you reboot (after flashing twrp, SuperSU/Magisk and or a Custom Rom. If you don't flash that file yoiu will be very likely locked again for another 7 days as soon as you reboot.
The link above has a much better explanation but I hope this helps you and anyone else reading this that has the same problem.
Good Luck. (I have been waiting for 4 days so far - I have three days to go -

Well, thank you so much for that information guys. I did not know it.

Could you please be more detailed on the steps I should take for not being locked again?
I'm about to flash Oreo and I want to flash TWRP and Magisk manager after those 7 days but I don't know in what order I should do it all, when I have to flash that RMM aswell.

Take a look at this screenshot though. I installed the CRAP build less than a day ago and when I first went into developer options, OEM unlock was already enabled. I'm REALLY confused right now..

Not sure if you know the answer to this but do we have to flash this every time we reboot on a custom ROM or flash this every time we flash a custom ROM?
I have 8 hours left until the lock is lifted on mine lol

Go into download mode (Power, Bixby and Vol Down) when you are in download mode, you can see what the RMM State is - it will either say NORMAL or PRE-NORMAL.
If yours says NORMAL - then you go can go ahead and flash TWRP via ODIN. If you are having flash issues at this point, ask in the TWRP Thread and you should be able to get some help.
However, if you are PRE-NORMAL in download mode, then you are locked and won't be able to flash anything until you pass the 7 day period.I think the 7 days begins on the date you flashed your current firmware.
YOu can be in PRE-NORMAL and still see OEM UNLOCK. BUT if you are pre-normal and you see OEM UNLOCK you cannot flash until your RMM State changes to NORMAL.
I hope that helps.

Yes, the RMM Fix must be flashed after you flash TWRP or after you flash a custom rom, everytime. UNLESS the rom has the RMM Fix baked into the rom - some do - some may not. Won't hurt to fllash it just in case, everytime.

Thanks again for the rapid response but, I'm identifying an issue with the storage on this firmware g955fxxu1crap. My phone exynos g955f has 64 gb of internal storage, but after this upgrade it shows only 16 gb of internal storage.
Did get this same error , how you solve it?
thanks in advance.

What happened after your seven days were you able to flash twrp and stay rooted in Oreo with Oreo bootloader and modem? Have you tried flashing the new Oreo Bl & Modem? Curious if the seven days is going to be mandatory for people with new phones that want to root them on Oreo.

After 7 days I could perfectly flash TWRP and root, no big deal. If you go into download mode and see RMM STATE: PRENORMAL then you can't flash. I guess all new phones with 8.0 since January are pre-normal, but I'm not sure.

Ive seen in the other thread that you could flash the entire nougat stock rom (nov 2017 perhaps) which will allow you to bypass the rmm and then flash TWRP and custom ROM? Could anyone confirm this workaround?

if not , then how can i root my device SAFELY ?
thanks all

do ALOT more reading before you even think about rooting
Thx to reply. Like the others i wanna root to have root apps in my phone ,
Thx . Wanna have apps requires root in my phone . That simple
You don't even need to decrypt if you don't want to.
Unlock Developer Options (Settings - About: tap build number until it says it's enabled)
Go to the Developer Options and enable OEM Unlocking
Unlock bootloader
Flash twrp 3.1.0
Flash SuperSU no-decrypt (https://mega.nz/#!lkV0jbYJ!b1h-5uVksvpt7rw0tRHV7Qxjwk2xkKox0w-iRsCLlbU)
Have fun.
For decryption follow the decrypt guide.
To undo root and relock (Bootloader Locked) flash a stock firmware using the Force flash guide under Guides or use firmware finder).
For Magiskv12 root you need firmware B182+

Original SuperSU 2.79 won't install. We have no loop support in kernel pre-B182. And even with support it doesn't install. The one I linked is a phh supersu hybrid. It uses phh su's method of installing, but installs SuperSU.

Hi. I just happen to come across your post and noticed you said that there is no loop support pre-B182. I have the Chinese version with B213. Some apps, like Linux on Android need, unless something has changed, loop support as well as root. Do you have a reference or a link about the loop support on this phone? Thanks!

Just would like to say that it's not fair to say him that in case that the second entry said: One post on xda and he wants to root!
I think the problem is the order you gave him @ante0 (MAYBE!)
Unlock bootloader
flash TWRP
And I think he now has a BIG problem bc you DIDN'T said or forced him to go into developer settings and turn on OEM-unlock!
@nawraz did you turned on OEM-unlock in developer settings?
if you boot into fastboot mode are BOTH (bootloader and FRP = unlocked (in red letters), or and I really hoper NOT is FRP lock (in green letters)???
Maybe that is now the problem for him, not being able to flash SuperSU?
If you have luck @nawraz then try to flash TWRP 3.0.2-2 and with that SuperSU2.79
If you have root then you can install latest TWRP (3.1.0-1)
If you can't flash anything... oh oh!

He already unlocked and flashed twrp.
3.1.0 installs SuperSU fine. 3.0.3 does not.
And if oem was locked he wouldn't even be in twrp as you can't flash anything with fastboot if it is locked.
But I'll update my post in case anyone does miss to unlock oem.
Hope you don't get me wrong!
Just said that bc I had that problem 5 days ago and the only thing that helped was funky!
I had a softbrick and a reboot always kicked me into eRecovery
I just had eRecovery and fastboot!
Bootloader relocked and frp locked!
Stupid me relocked the bootloader bc I read that you then can unlock oem, then unlock bootloader again!
Well, that was a mistake!

Yeah. Only way then would be to rebrand to C636 using the DLOAD method, then rebrand back to your stock version using the Update thread under Guides. The latter requires twrp though so you'd need to rebrand first to get a working system.
To be honest I just figured he had already unlocked and flashed twrp as he was in the decrypt thread
Missing oem was an error on my side. It was long since I had to unlock oem xD

Weird. I tested with 3.1.0 a few days ago. But I guess it could have to do with builds. 3.1.0 is using kernel for B182. Maybe it's fixed if you use 3.1.0 with B182.
Oh well, good you managed to install it anyway.
Edit: I tested with the SuperSU I linked.

All I know is that it wasn't present in builds before B182.
 @st_voss is the one who found out it was added in B182 (Kernel build April. 11th probably as that's what I have on B182.).
It might be present in B181 on C636 as well, that was released 8th of May.

How to install Oreo ROM?

Hi! I'm really humbly sorry, I'm new to this stuff, so I have to ask you...
I have a Galaxy S8+ Duos (SM-GD955FD). I bricked it once or twice trying to root it. So I had to flash a sammobile.com ROM...
Now this is done, I have a successfully rooted phone with with the Baseband version G955FXU1AQH3 and the irritating "security notice" (since I was not able to install Magisk, and the NotifyClean app doesn't work either).
I would like to flash the latest Oreo and root it. I also heard good things about the Oreo ROM by alexega.
So: I'm on AQH3 rooted. What can I do?
Thank you for your patience.
If wou want to install stock ROM you must follow this instructions: https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s8+/how-to/guide-how-to-flash-crap-using-odin-t3748555. Bear in mind that if you install stock due to security issues you can't unlock OEM for 7 days after flashing (you must not reboot your phone for 170 hours).
If wou want to flash a custom rom you must have TWRP installed, move the zip rom to your SD card and just flash it from recovery. Make sure to format data before flashing.

Nice, thank you. So I have just flashed the thing with the sammobile.com ROM again (so, no root) and updated to the oroginal firmware Oreo following your link (I worked parallel).
I was just about to root Oreo and was googling for a way... But did I get you right? I should not reboot my phone for 170 hours now?!? So, no rooting until next week?!
Edit: I have developer options enabled and the "OEM unlock" switch is on (it says: "Bootloader is already unlocked.""). So... confusion...

Excuse me, are you currently on Nougat 7.0? If so, you obviously have OEM unlock option available. The problem is in the new 8.0 stock rom, wich sets RMM state to pre-normal preventing you to flash TWRP and to get root in OREO. To skip that you can directly flash a custom rom with 8.0.- Otherwise (stock rom) you must wait 7 days with no phone reboot to get ridd of that pre-normal issue and then flash TWRP and flash Magisk.
Just rooted the new Oreo ROM with TWRP. Works just fine, thank you.
So, what are the advantages of the Oreo ROM by alexega compared to XXU1CRAP?

Do you need a custom rom to not have the RMM lock anymore? A stock with BlackMesa's RMM START .zip is not right?

There's no need to have a custom rom, if you flash the fix in stock RMM lock gets killed everytime.

First you have to install OREO and wait 7 days without reseting your phone. After 170 hours, you get OEM unlock in developer options and you will be able to flasf TWRP. After flashing TWRP you flash RMM-State_Bypass_Mesa and that´s all.

Question about RMM State (Only official released binaries are allowed to be flashed)

Hello comunity! I'm not getting this thing clear so i wanted to ask some questions.
I followed the steps from this guide: https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s8+/how-to/guide-how-to-install-twrp-root-galaxy-t3752492
I decided to install Magisk then when i booted into System i could see that the device was succesfully rooted, but here comes the problem...
I rebooted the device and then after that, the boot screen appears with the message "Only official released binaries are allowed to be flashed"
I flashed an official Nougat ROM with Odin and then i could boot to system again (I was really worried about having the device as a brick haha), now i waited for the 7 days to have the OEM unlock setting, but i also updated again to Oreo with the official OTA's.
Now my main question is: What i have to do in order to root the device and be able to reboot whenever i want without having this trouble?, I saw that there was a RMM State Bypass that i need to flash after doing all the rooting process but after doing that, will i be able to reboot and not get the message "Only official released binaries are allowed to be flashed" anymore? I saw that you need to edit de build.prop file also, but i dont know when.
Thanks in advance!

Stuck on 7 day waiting on OEM Unlock. How to rollback rom with option?

I came from android nougat on my galaxy s8+, however, I wanted to update to oreo, so I flashed it through odin with all the necessary firmware files. I configured it all once after. However, OEM Unlock is missing from the developer options. I've read that you have to wait 7 days for it to appear but I don't have the time to wait as I have some projects to deal with. I'm wondering if I can dirty flash an old rom over stock rom to enable oem unlock through odin since I can't flash through twrp . Once I get the regular rom loaded, I'm going to flash twrp and find a custom rom based off oreo instead. Would be great if someone knows any work around for this.

Samsung A11 got android 12 and I want to flash it (help)

So I first bought my Samsung a11 as an android 10 model,
I then flashed it after I bought it with an open-line android 11 version and got twrp and root. This was a year ago I think.
Now they released the final update for this Samsung phone model, and I want to at least get the latest and last version of my phone.
But I kinda forgot how to do the procedures again.
So my question is does flashing the new android version firmware using odin remove TWRP installed on my device?
my phone model is: A115FXXU2BUJ2 (android 11)
the firmware I want to install: A115FXXU3CV13 (android 12)
if so what do I need to do in order to successfully have both the new firmware I want to install and twrp installed on my device? (i kinda know how to root using twrp and magisk so no problems here)
Any help would be much appreciated!

Yes, flashing the update via Odin will remove TWRP and root, it will also, more than likely, lock your bootloader, then you won't be able to reinstall TWRP or root the device unless you unlock the bootloader, if it can be unlocked.

If the bootloader in the update is a securely locked bootloader, it will probably have locked bootloader after flashing and might not be able to be unlocked. That was the whole point of me warning you in my last post. Now I've had to post again just to say the same thing that I already said. I guess I was talking to the wind.
There is no way to know what the results will be after updating unless you find someone that has already updated the exact same model number of A11 or bite the bullet and update yours then see what you get.

I see, looks like i need to find someone who have done it and see if it works. I didnt get what you mean about after flashing, it might have a chance to lock the bootloader depends on the update. I think ill just try and see what happens. Thank you.
I dont know guys with that phone but there should be a tool that bypass auth and unlock the bootloader in any case. I ONLY knows MTK devices, not sure about that samsung i use a .Bat file.

No, I said that after the update, it could cause the bootloader to be locked and then may not be unlockable from that point on. It depends on the bootloader in the update. If this happens, you will be unable to install TWRP or root via Magisk. That is why you need to confirm whether or not flashing the update will relock the bootloader during the flashing process and, if it does, whether or not it can be unlocked again after the update.
In other words, look at exactly what you are about to jump into before you make the jump because you might land in the one place that you absolutely do not want to land.
