Need Pie on s8+ - Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers

Hello..i bought a s8 plus dual sim from a friend.everything works fine except some samsung apps including the theme and galaxy store..I tried to update OTA buh it doesn't respond..i tried flashing to 9.0 but had a SECURE CHECK FAIL : BOOTLOADER..i cant even identify the right bootloader..iam even confused as to how to get the right rom to flash.
Will be glad if any one can help.

It seems you have a custom binary.
You need to erase all the data from the recovery and then flash an official ROM with Odin on your PC.

Hold power+bixby+volume up buttons, erase data. Turn the phone off and then go to odin mode (power+bixby+volume down), connect the phone to your PC and flash the ROM you downloaded on your computer with Odin.

Flash the 4 files with the 4 different buttons suggested by Odin corresponding to each file and start the flash once your phone is connected to your PC and in Odin mode. You won't need the last file.

Ok it seems to be linked with the pit file. You normally dont have to flash it because employees do that in factory when your phone is about having a flashed software.
Search on the internet and download SM-G955FD.pit file or download an entire ROM from a downloader. You normally have these 4 files + the .pit file if I remember well...

dont flash any just the 3 files before it
and if you still can't flash the firmware, you downloaded the wrong rom for your phone, that happen to me with my s7, i tried to flash the G935U version but my s7 is G935F, the final letter does matter

Flashing thr pit file gave same SECURE CHECK FAILIT error.
I then downloaded sm-g955F rom(which is the same as sm-g955FD i think)
and flashed and had SECURE CHECK FAIL: BOOTLOADER.
I will try Sm-g955N rom rather and see the results

PD: connect you phone to an usb 2.0 port, don't use 3.0 (2.0 is the black one, 3.0 the blue one)

It's not normal at all! There's a known issue with Samsung s6 and s6 edge in that point, so you'll have to use package disabler for to overcome this issue. Are you running a rooted device?

Clear app data and cache for smart manager. Reboot and open it. Never click clean all or security. It will keep the security manager turned off. When using smart manager, be careful not to use these two functions and it should be fine.

If you were rooted, I'd recommend using Titanium Backup or an app system uninstaller et then uninstall and reinstall smart manager as a regular apk! For now, you need to dirty flash a stock rom via Odin if you want to get ride with your issue.
Cheers.

Newbie Questions

Hey, I have a Galaxy S7 SM-G930F. I live in Portugal and a few months ago I rooted and then tried to unroot it but it went wrong and it got softbricked so i had to install a new rom from sammobile, but I installed a rom for my device and country but a random carrier and I still dont have the Android Nougat (my friend has one aswell and it has already updated).
Because my friend already has the update he sent me his rom and i installed it but it shows me the old rom model when i check for updates manually. In odin I only uploaded the AP file, do I need to upload the rest?
Btw how hard is it to hardbrick my s7 and how much to repair it?
Cheers!
Edit:
What does the smart switch icon means on the rom page and the diffrent letters after the name of my carrier like "TCL" "TPH" etc
Yes, flash all 4 firmware parts, CP, BL, AP and CSC

S8+ 955F ODIN completed in 2 seconds and phone reboots when trying to flash

Hey,
I am trying to flash my S8 955F with the new UK BTU Oreo firmware using ODIN however the process seems to last 2 seconds and then the phone reboots out of download mode and into the normal boot process.
ODIN shows a nice green pass symbol but nothing happened?
Tried a number of different ODINs including 3.12.10.1, 3.12.10 and 3.11.1 but the same thing happens .
What am I doing wrong ?
Running Windows 10.
Thanks
Run with administrator privileges
Make sure you have all drivers installed untick pit file in options
Enviado do meu SM-G930F através do Tapatalk
Still doesn't work
Tried it on 2 PC's now and the same problems. Reboots after 2 seconds out of download mode.
How odd..
Have you checked the file size of the files you try to flash?
Perhaps download another Software from updato.com and try it?
I will try that cheers.
Thanks for sharing the link . I have been using SamFiles to download the firmware.
Will report back .
Scott
Same problem
this site tells me to only flash the AP file which I have tried but then ODIN locks on the boot.img.lz4 bit.
Think I need to give up.

Solution
I had this same problem in my G950FD (Rooted) and It wasn't updating.
Here is the quick fix :
Download this odin from here : https://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=4431749&d=1519672710
Run this odin as ADMINISTRATOR (This is important) and put up the sammobile firmware files into BL,AP,CP, CSC (Home) which you downloaded.
And click Start! That's It! It will take nearly 3 minutes to update and your phone will restart and update firmware and reboot and you will see SAMSUNG Glowing. You should have updated device with your old data in phone
Hit that thanks button if I helped you! God bless!
Best,

Magisk for S10+

Not sure where I had to post this so admins please correct the forum post if in incorrect category....
I just want to know if magisk will be available for the S10+ as i can't live without it. (currently on S8+ Batman Rom Magisk)
I know I can put TWRP, Root, SuperSu but I haven't used that since my S5 days...

Magisk is made for all devices, I don't think there is such a thing as Magisk "for S10+", there is only the one Magisk that is used on all devices, it's just a matter of whether Magisk works on your device, if it doesn't, there is not a "different" Magisk that you can try in its place.

First, you need to see if your S10+ has a locked bootloader, if it is locked, you can't flash TWRP.
Have you tried downloading your stock firmware then extracting the boot.img from the firmware then using Magisk on PC to create a modified boot.img from the stock boot.img then flash that modified boot.img then install Magisk on the device?
Sent from my LGL84VL using Tapatalk
Is it worth rooting and putting magisk on phones?
Ever since Oreo I found that rooting and adding magisk, Xposed is pointless
