Anybody have a working copy? I downloaded one from here https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=6006931924117934353 but it seems to be corrupted. Failed md5 invalid binary. Downloaded twice with same result. Anybody have another link would be appreciated.
BTW renaming without the md5 doesn't work. Odin doesn't even seem to recognize it.
Edit - Found. @Mentalmuso was nice enough to get this. If you're here then this saved your life, so don't forget to shoot him a beer.

I downloaded the combination ROM from the link above, but have never used one (or even heard of them before this post), so I have a few questions:
(1) From what I've read, combo ROMs are 'service' ROMs with capabilities that are mostly useful on phones, but also seems to give the user more freedom over the device, in general. Is this correct?
(2) What advantages on an aleady rooted tablet?
(3) Wanna share any user experience(s)?
Thanks

I guess it was removed. Here's another one. A bit older but same bootloader rev number which i believe is all that matters.

Unfortunately you won't be able to flash combination files due to some new Samsung security feature with 2019 devices. I've been trying various ways unsuccessfully so far.
Maybe @ashyx can help.

here's a no sim method. I couldnt get smartswitch to connect after the reboot but maybe you'll have better luck. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1ydqy3Nur3w&t=329s
This smartswitch wont work. I have Nov security update so after restart it wont start smartswitch. My firmware is T860CXXs1xxxx so combination T860CXXU1ASG8 wont work cause it has U1 not S1 build. It wont let me flash it. Numbers should match so you are able to flash combination. I believe we will have to wait when S1 or S2 or S3 combination firmware will come out. Better not to flash newer firmware. I guess we have exactly the same situation. If I FRP my tab I will message you

I tired all previous methods but could not find solution. Usually its a couple of months after security update. So we are very close to crack FRP

I just figured out how to get passed FRP lock without flashing firmware or using a computer.
Fully updated tab S6. Fairly simple to do. I will be posting a how to as soon as I can. At work now and simply can't. Tropical storm and all....

What question ? Simply explain process and solution (if any) to others and that's all.
If solution is simple, so procedure explanation will be short as well and benefit to those who were stuck in FRP.
Personally, I doubt it is possible without usage of re-flashing or computer.
Since last post at August 4th untill now, it seems a very long 20 days tropical storm indeed.
I don't think I like your attitude.
I have not been on much and I forgot to explain the process I used.
It is possible as I have done it. Don't really care if you doubt it.
For anyone else that would like to know what I did, I will post tomorrow. I am working today and can't.

Yeah, but i'm afraid to try it if someone say that it doesnt work I dont want brick my new One Max right away..
I would try it however mine is soffed and rooted already... I won't worry about trying it out.. There are not much tool which can brick our phones without s off or atleast bootloader unlock.

It´s not working already tryed. I have the same Problem wan´t to gain s-off without unlocking bootloader, but there for i need a rooted stock rom. But i find no way to root my stock rom without unlocking the bootloader. If someone find a why please tell me.
I am afraid there won't be any methods to root it without boot loader unlock. Google is making android secure enough that root does not happen until bl unlock, which is good for us. If I am not wrong Samsung phone still get a method without bootloader unlock, I suppose that's because if Samsung or the extreme number of ppl could be working on it.

is your phone Verizon or sprint? The international variant is quite straight forward to root.
1. Unlock Bootloader via HTC Dev
2. Flash custom recovery from the recovery thread CMW/TWRP.
3. Download SuperSu.zip from http://download.chainfire.eu/supersu
4. Flash the zip in recovery.
If you use runrunner for the international version, you have to be rooted/unlocked first.

As I was running through the numerous One Max reviews researching whether I would take the plunge or go for the Note 3, I ran across the following article:
http://www.andromods.com/root-unloc...-rooted-unlock-bootloader-soff-rumrunner.html
It's dated for 9 December, but I can't totally verify that it works however as I was "lucky" to find one on eBay already S-Off, Rooted, and Bootloader Unlocked. Figured the seller's asking price of $675 was essentially the same as going to VZW and dropping $599 + tax. (Holding on to my unlimited data plan is getting increasingly more expensive with each phone upgrade.
Hello
Please i need Your help
If i will use One click root to my HTC Max 809d it will root it without stops the fingerprint ?

Needing this as well. BTW, is your device Boost Mobile? And also, you have TWRP for Recovery as well.
Yea its Boost. I still have the phone but dont use it much anymore. I got tired of the sluggishness and did some research on upgrading. Ended up buying the LG X Power cause it seemed the best one for the money in terms of cpu/gpu/ram/storage. Love the phone, but cant root it yet it seems
Add me to the list of people who would be grateful if someone had this and could upload it.
If u have Boost try and save 70 bucks and get the X Power, its well worth it!

This is a paid option and not for developer types like us. I am not convinced they support our USA model 955U anyway.
I would think Chainfire might come out with something like happened with S7 Edge. We shall see. Been 3 weeks.

Think you missed the "lol" portion if my post
So I have been doing some research and the same kind of issue was occurring with the S7/Edge and there was a modified ODIN and "Engineering" boot.img (kernel) that claims to root the device. So I am curious if using that "modified hack" version of ODIN and a boot.img that has a kernel compatible with snapdragon (the only one I see in main s8+ forum is for Exynos). Not sure if this is really safe to do but I am guessing that once enough devs want root on this device, something will be out there. Has anyone tried KingRoot?
I have trieed Kingroot but always fail!!!
I hope Chainfire can do something for us.
Anyway: eng kernel exist for this device? Snapdragon version ofcourse.
I contacted the support team for oneclickroot and they said that they do not have a root for the US versions of the S8+.
Was wondering if there would be a way to modify and or port the s7 boot.img to an s8+ variant? Maybe even a way to "trick" it as to read it like an exynos vairant processor?
i just bougt sprint s8+ off swappa. any update to the rooting it cause im gonna unlock it.

I've tried KingRoot, but it's hot garbage. Seeing so much in the way of information regarding the S8 Plus having a locked bootloader (Sprint ENG_US version or any other carrier variant for that matter), and I was wondering if there is any new information? Eager to root this bad boy, but no bueno thus far. I'm seeing the information for international ones using the Exynos, but I found this 'CF-Auto-Root-dream2qltesq-dream2qltesq-smg955u.tar' earlier this afternoon. Not even sure if this is compatible and I'm not going to be the guinea pig today. Has anybody else messed with this kit?
Anybody have any relevant information pertaining to effective rooting of the S8 Plus on Sprint by chance? Until I hear of some success with this, I'm not going to attempt. Got a bit of a qualm with a $1K paperweight. Please advise.
Thanks!

Unfortunately this device will likely be locked just like the J327T.
I have been watching that thread and everything that has been tried is pretty much what I attempted to explain would be a waste of time.
The combination firmware is useless to gain root on nougat.
No auto root is ever gonna work either and neither is Flashfire or SuperSU.
There is a list of reasons why these things won't work, but I'll not waste my time in that thread explaining why.
I don't mind explaining further why here. Just so others will not waste efforts like on the J327T thread.
I'll let that thread run its course until all avenues have reached their inevitable dead ends.
They are harsh words, but unfortunately they are truth.
Suffice to say that the only real way for this device to see root is either an unlocked bootloader (highly unlikely), a proper engineering binary or an exploit is released for Android 7.
If an exploit is found then Kingroot will almost certainly incorporate it in their Software and then there maybe a chance that the combination binary (not the whole firmware) will help get root.
If anyone can confirm for sure this device doesn't have a locked bootloader then I'd be happy to work on it.

J727T/1 Recovery/Root (SS SafeStrap)???

TWRP is available too.

Has anyone tried this? The file is called 835crom....... 835 snapdragon I'm assuming. I downloaded it just in case, but won't install just yet. Though, if it were true, I'd unlock my bootloader in a heartbeat.
Permissions are kinda insane but unlocking bootloader is basically changing everything. I still don't trust enough to install.

You can try it. I have done it. Permissions might be alot as it sends the info it needs to the chinese server for unlocking. Anyway CROM service is used inthe Chinese market due to regulations. Can be downloaded off Samsung Galaxy Apps if you are wary.
Great now we are unlocking access via a Chinese server. 'Cause that seems safe. Not saying anything against China but, a majority of hacks are produced there.

Sure. If you don't trust Samsung then you shouldn't be using the phone. Please kindly leave and do not flood the thread with non constructive comments. Thanks!

Entirely up to u to try. If u are afraid of risks, then so be it. There surely will be people who try. And no, it does not wipe. You can go and visit S8 thread where there is CROM service threads about it. Downloading Apps may requires a Chinese Samsung account.

I 100% guarantee its chinese models only. They may be snapdragon but their bootloader is setup differently. USA models CANNOT UNLOCK via their method.
It's for model 950chn
Tried it and all it does is crash.
Its super worthless for USA Models

Complaints about sending data to China; NO ONE complains about the data they give to Google.
