On the download you provided, it said "for the Samsung Galaxy S8(SM-G950F), by Jesse Chan"
Will it work on the Galaxy s8 Unlocked (SM-G950U1)?

---

Quick question: with this kernel, will SafetyNet still not detect root (Provided we use Magisk)?

---

Hi, does this kernel support G9550?

Because I have tried on my G9550 dual sim Chinese version, and stuck on boot screen.

I followed your whole guide word for word twice and was able to odin the QF7 to allow the 1.0.6 official version of CROM to unlock my phone which Is a s8+ SM-G9550 6gb RAM/128gb model I bought off of amazon.
TWRP flashed no problem and I was able to hold vol up bixby and power to boot right into the TWRP. I then wiped data, rebooted recover,(skiped to part3), then flashed this kernel, then magisk 13.3.
Finally I click reboot system and my phone hangs on"Set warranty bit: Kernel"
Im going to Odin QE7 from scratch again and just try to install the TWRP and see if the phone will work without root and your kernel for now =(
As a follow up I am able to just flash the t dm-verity and force encryption disabler and boot the phone just fine.
So Either the kernel is not working with my s8+ SM-G9550 6gb RAM/128gb model or magisk 13.3
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

So far it doesn't seem to work for G9550

---

Hi, LTE and VoLTE doesn't work for me on SM-G950F. When I installed official boot.img everything works fine.My mistake, sorry.

---

@jesec Does this work for locked bootloader (G955U)?
not sure if it's safe to use this with flashfire. thought it'd be better to ask, then to brick.

Anybody onboard to take part of a bounty to have a working kernel for S8+ 128Gb HK? Seems like Jesec is not around anymore and I am definitely willing to pay to have magisk working on my S8+

Add me for 20. I think we won't be long to reach a decent sum (for "just" a kernel)

Just got the device, the reason that the kernel wont boot is due to a partitioning issue with the fstab. When my device arrives i should hopefully begin working on a kernel stay tuned!

Thank you! Was going to give up and just live with SuperSU but going to patiently wait for your kernel then!
