Rooting - Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers

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I'd like to try again but theres a lot of info (new and out of date) and i don't even know whats good and what isn't.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.

I did look at that but some latest comments saying they got some errors made me wait and ask here, before doing it wrong again but maybe i should just try it.
Anyways, thank you!

New guy here. Please be easy on me. :confused: Updates questions and concerns.

Hey everyone,
As stated in the title, I'm a real noob when it comes to rooting/flashing phones. Please bear with me through the stupid questions.
I've started to get sick/bored of my phone running version 4.4.2 with emui 3.0. I bought this phone off Amazon when it came out because I wanted something new. Sammy, LG, etc weren't producing phones I liked.
when the Mate 8 came out with newer software, I wondered what would happen with my phone, and boy did I get some bad news.
I own the MT7-TL10V100R001C00B130 version, which seems to get none of the updates that the Malaysia area phones get.
http://imgur.com/78imLxd
I messaged Huawei Support, and they confirmed the bad news.
http://imgur.com/XtQpgoW
I even tried contacting the UAE support like they suggested, but I haven't gotten a reply back.
I've looked at threads like:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-7/help/help-please-impossible-to-update-mt7-t3286615
and
http://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-7/general/huawei-mt7-l09-l10-stock-firmware-ota-t3275784
but in the end, they don't help me very much.
I've given up on any hope of my phone being updated OTA, so I've decided to sign up and post here to ask question(s):
1. Is there a firmware I can download/install to update my phone to something newer even if the builds don't match?
2. If I must result to rooting, I'm willing to give it a try, but then I'd like to have Nougat on the phone. Are there stable builds for this yet? or must I wait longer?
Thanks very much for reading and any help you can provide.

Hi,
To answer your questions:
1) You can download B324 Malaysia from https://mega.nz/#!h1JDnQaB!En6LMDE6hbm22m0xFX2fbWZWwoGX2urEXrPRJaFlRxc, unzip it and put UPDATE.app file in SDCARD/dload folder in root of SDCARD. Then try to update it from the Updater in Settings. You will then have lollipop. Back up your apps/settings etc before, just in case.
2) Not necessary to root, but there are lots of posts in the Mate7 forum that can assist if you do want to root. Nobody knows yet if Nougat will be released for the Mate 7 (I'm thinking unlikely, as we already got Lollipop and Marshmallow, and the phone is two years old, but you never know)
thanks for much for the info.
for option #1, is there any other precaution i need to take? do i simply just copy paste into the sd card?

How to update to Oreo?

Hello!
I want to try the project treble so i need to update my phone to oreo but i don't know how to do. I don't know so much information about rom flashing. I tried to do it myself with a guide on internet but it didn't worked. I have unlocked bootloader with twrp and rooted B182 frimware. I used the guide on romprovider.com and tried the both methods. HWOTA stuck on press enter to continue and second method didnt work because i live in Turkey.
I have MHA-L29C432B182
Can anyone please explain how to do it properly? Like i said i dont know much.
Thank you.

Might be best, to WAIT until it comes to you in the official channel, since you don't know much.
No offense, but you can brick your phone, if you don't know what you are doing.

Root - May 2020 Security Patch

Hello, everyone, I have the Samsung Galaxy S10e - model no. SM-G970F running the latest May 2020 security patch on Android 10. Would anyone know the best way to root and TWRP recovery it? I am looking for a 100% full-proof way if it is available. Thank you
Доброго времени суток! Посмотрите на 4pda.
Don't update to this ROM if you want to possibly mod your S10e any time because once you go to May 2020 you cannot regress to an earlier ROM.
Mine is a work device so I have updated but there was a warning in the notes that this is a feature.
I guess this is the point where Samsung start locking you out of modding it. Just don't go there if you care about that.

I was already updated to the May 2020 psych before I posted here - so, I can't go backwards anyways. Is there a way to root it, though?
i updated to may 2020 and was rooted with magisk and twrp but am now back to stock as i think samsung has put something in their latest update? !! - had nothing but problems, screen flashing totally unresponsive not sure whether rom was at fault or magisk needs updating ? or maybe twrp dont know but might try and go back to ct9 as that was stable, definitely something not right. update- once your updated no going back! nice samsung! take my freedom while your at it!!
all good now, was a little rusty! rooted once more, I flashed may update with April twrp! didn't realise it(twrp) had to be updated each time, thanks to the xda member who put me right

Is it Possible

Hello All, I know I'm late to the party but I just grabbed a Tab Pro 12.2 VZW version(SM-P905V). I am desperately trying to root to eventually push Linageos. I searched here and there but no luck.

Thank you for responding. Sorry it took so long for me to do so. I had all but given up with the possibility of rooting the device and sent it back. But I ultimately do want one. With your information I now know which unit to look for. Thank you once again, much appreciated.

Imo best would be a P905 without "V".
Effortless rooting and flashing.
The qouted post only refers to V models.
You are privileged to hit the "Like" button now
Well crap I'm stuck. I have the p905vvrsbpl1
. I have had it for years love it but need to update. Can't use it on directv anymore. There has got to be away.

Bro......like-
You don't know about N971N variants, do you? I DID SAW EVERY LISTS AND THEY ARE NOT SUPPORTED IN NORMAL WAYS! Why would I even bother asking then?????? They have Twrp but no exact workarounds for rooting it. The Base Note 10's 5g version is almost Impossible to root in a way (as I tried and used all ways in my knowledge). And About flashing, I did said it didn't helped, so it means it didn't! Like, the Volatile memory of my Note 10 5g(which is usually not affected by flashing) is corrupted due to wrong file flashings. Now The issue is, there is no network. Even flashing original roms numerous times doesn't help. Rooting via TWRP is also baseless, since even after multiple tries of rooting it by flashing SuperSu or Magisk modded Roms. It just doesn't work.

You don't talk to people like this,
Anyways I'll excuse your English since I myself is not English
1st of all I have two Samsung's note 8 n950n (Korea) and note 10 5g n971n also Korea
I have lineageOS installed on my n10 (no network) as I only use it for gaming
I have reflashed stock ROM for my device many times as a developer asked me to test ROMs for N971N (as we speak)
I understand your frustration, but this is xda if you don't explain your problems well nobody will help you (and need I remind you that every ROM(s) out there for the note ten variant did not mention N971N)

Man, I really dont speak English perfectly and am frustrated! Cz you know , this N971N is such a mess. It's exynos version is so messed up and hard to root or fix. Oh btw, your one's a exynos version or sd one? Cz that might have a influence too.
Yes I also flashed lineage OS on my Note 10 had it rooted afterwards, but which didn't worked (nothing works, like, it does says its rooted but doesn't works). But after flashing Lineage OS, i saw I have no internet, and I thought maybe its my phone's problem (which, you say isn't as you have the same issue after flashing....****) so I flashed a EFS file thinking Lineage OS might have jacked my EFS (which was totally unprofessional of me) I really was so disappointed afterwards.
No no wait, I know if I don't get help from XDA then I would not be able to get help and I also know that all other roms out there didn't included d1x or N971N as their supported device! Thats exactly why I was just saying that when you asked?
Im sorry man, I didn't wanted to be rude.... actually Im Searching here and there for a long time. Shabi_Shaw and I had a talk and I also said him too. I've been on this for 1 year and I am really in need of a way to fix my phone. The only reason I need to root my note is access the EFS folder and edit it back to normal.
Wish all these mess never happened. I mean, how the hell I thought back then that rooting can Increase N971N's battery life when it's capacity's already less
