How to install Oreo ROM? - Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers

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?

Just follow the steps from the link in my previous repply. As it's an original software, it won't trip knox or void your warantee.

hi, does anybody knows how to install the oreo firmware using odin but without changing the csc I already have?

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.

Always need root just to install custom roms . If we can install roms without root , then we don't need root anymore ( I am still lost ). Now I can wait for custom 6.1 roms.
Its not ideal but at least you dont have to go through the whole reroot process each time you want to change roms. And you can still flash zips etc in safestrap.

Can we run and use apps which require ROOT access?
I'm a bit confused though. Don't custom ROMs come pre-rooted???? So wouldn't flashing a custom ROM which is pre-rooted....... remain rooted?

You cannot have a rooted MM rom with locked bootloader because to have root requires a custom kernel which locked bootloaders cannot flash. It doesnt matter if the rom is prerooted or not! Stock Boot.img means no root. You cannot run apps that require root with these roms All this method does if give you some options the biggest option being the ability to flash zips. and change roms with out having to odin back to stock pb1 then reroot then. Try the stock MM rom I posted. Once installed you can flash a debloatzip or a knox removal zip or delete apps from safestrap with the built in file manager If you dont like you can always downgrade back to PB1

@jrkruse How does this work?
Based on my knowledge from reading this, it seems that the kernel finds the checksum of the system partition and then only boots if it is unmodified.
Shouldn't modifying the system partition in the slightest bit throw this checksum off?
Also - modified kernels CAN be flashed on locked bootloaders - just not via Odin. They only won't boot though >.>

Will this method work with FF? Haven't used SS since my SG4 days.

I got one to try. I have tried it so I know it works
Download this rom
Download my Patch
In safestrap do a manual wipe. Wipe Data,WipeCache,Wipe System
Install Rom
Install patch
This rom Does not flash system.img so you dont need to install safestrap it will stay installed
After patch is installed wipe data and wipe cache and install MM Bootloader zip
Reboot it will take 15 to 20 min to boot
Now you will Have A Note 5 port with working theme support

my ask : Does this rooting goes well with MHA-L29C185B172 ?
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.

Can Oreo android 8 firmware be rooted on s8 exynos? G955FXXU1CRAP

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?

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?

On weekend i tried to flash it and install TWRP and Magisk Manager - manaed to install it and play a round.
Now changed my mind and want to get back to official firmware which i was using before. At the moment i can access TWRP ( i wiped everyting) , but if i boot to system it just stays in ODIN dowload mode ( probably because i wiped everyting)
Before work today i left downloading official rom with latest security patch. After work will flash on official ROM.
After flashing do i need to enable/disable any settings inside phone to receive latter OEM updates? Can i lock bootlader? Or it will be locked automatically when i flash stock firmware.
Thanks

No. If you flash full firmware you will receive oem updates again. You need to unlock developer settings and disable oem unlock to lock bootloader

You need to get the latest odin version because of the lz4 format of the firmware files. Unfortunately you cannot use sampay and knox again because of tripped warranty void

Can only install official binaries message when flashing TWRP with Odin3 on A750FN U4

Hi, I'm having a lot of trouble trying to install a custom recovery. I had it working a couple months back but wanted to go with official again for dumb reasons and now i want to go back but it won't let me flash TWRP, i can't find a TWRP specifically for this version either. It's Android 10 with March security patch.
I hope someone can help me.
Thanks.
Please only create one thread per topic. I've removed the duplicate thread you started on this topic.
As far as your issue goes, I don't actually know much about Samsung specifics, but I believe that particular message means you haven't unlocked your bootloader. You'll need to do that before you can flash custom stuff.

I had previously installed twrp and was trying custom os until one os (evolution x) for some bricked my phone and i had to flash the stock firmware and after that when i try to re-flash twrp through odin it is saying officail binary can be flashed.

Like I said, I'm not 100% on Samsung shenannigans, but have you checked to verify that you didn't lock the bootloader as a part of flashing the stock firmware?
OEM unlock toggle in Developer's Options
Hi ¡...
1. You have to reinstall via odin the latest version 9 (AP, BL...etc)
2. On reboot do the entire TWPR flashing process for android 9
The current problem is that there is no TWPR for android 10.
Cheers
