Instructions For Installing Pie Roms
Please Note This Is Not A Root Method For Oreo Or Pie. As Of Now There Is Still No Root Method For Oreo Or Pie. This Takes Some Patience To InstallNote8 SM-N950U/U1/W Install Instructions And Files
If you didnt upgrade to V8 bootloaders using odin. I recommend flashing full stock firmware with V8 bootloaders even if you are already on V8 bootloader via OTA update. I feel that maybe something in the OTA from V7 bootloaders to V8 may have corrupted a bootloader file and some people have experienced bricks with trying to update to V8 bootloaders from V7 using the below method so I recommend flashing full stock V8 firmware in Odin before trying this method and just understand there has been a risk of bricking device. Full stock can be found on Sammobile or updato or any other service you can find it. You will have to reroot of course. If you Updated to V8 bootloaders using odin method already then no need to do so again

You can flash any mod zips at this time after you flash system image. Then in wipe tab chose wipe then advance wipe then wipe data

SM_N950U_Mods_Safestrap_PIE.zip This will add call recording and a few other features to your csc
View attachment Adaway_Blocking_No_Root_Pie.zip
Install zip in safestrap
boot phone back up to system
you will have 2 apps in your apps drawer Host Adblocking and Stock Adblocking
too enable adblocking run the Host Adblocking app it may require rebooting phone to work
too disable adblocking run Stock Adblocking this probably will not require a reboot
what this does is move the system/etc/hosts file to the internal storage of your phone then I symliink the one in the internal storage to the system/etc/host file this way the file can be changed back and forth . If you would wipe data in stock recovery however you would need to reflash the zip in safetrap as a data wipe would delete the host file since it is now located on internal storage
Asking for clarity on the 80% bug. Is that bug only present if you are rooting the device? Is that a specific partition that gets modified that causes that bug that is only modified during the root process? Does this method without rooting the device also have the 80% bug with it?
Kind regards,
Cyrano
It's not a bug

Been having issues with the N950USQS7DTA5_SAFESTRAP.rar filed in post #1. Doesn't unrar or unzip. Maybe it's just on my end but has anyone successfully used and accessed this file? I have tried downloading it twice to no avail.
EDIT: Looks like changing the version of 7zip I was initially using (version 19) to an older one (version 16) did the trick. No more unrar unzip issues.
What if you are already on the latest bootloader ? Also will I then be able to install an adbocker ?

Once you get safestrap installed you can start on number 2 in the directions but its fine to do step 1 even if you are on latest bootloader. I do have an adblock for non rooted pie rom

Go to software information in setting it will show you
<strikethrough>If on rooted nougat rom, wanting to go to pie from here, need to wipe / factory reset first before ODIN step? </strikethrough>
Actually, please confirm since I was running stock pie on BL7, and now I am on rooted nougat, all I need to do is reboot to safestrap, and wipe data / factory reset and then flash the DTA5_system.img .
Thanks for all this ... miss the flashing days.

If you want root you have to use the rooted nougat rom in the root thread. This rom is not rooted but still has safestrap so you can still flash mod zips and delete system apps. So why do you need to disable knox? I mean on this rom you could delete it if you want but that will break Samsung pay and pass

I tried this rom. Removed samsung camera pie app, install a nougat camera app which i like but it won't work, which for me is deal breaker on this pie rom. The camera is always top priority feature on phone these days.
There's something very very special about camera app that samsung want to control it and its quality and we can never revert back to its original quality in android 7.1.1 even with some "hacking" like this. why make things so hard then i will make thing hard to buy you
Thank you for your work but i am afraid i use samsung phone again

I have a rooted sprint note 3 that I really want to flash a custom rom on. I cannot seem to find any good places to give me step by step instructions. I have flashed custom roms way back on my droid razr, but I really need some help. Can anyone point me in the right direction with a link or anything that will walk me through this?
I'm also having the same problem, I'm rooted but don't know how to install a custom recovery. I used toweltoot. Any suggestions??!

OK, first what version of KIKAT are you on ? If you are on 4.4.4 NH7 the latest upgrade then you can root with Chainfires CF-autoroot or his SuperSu v 1.94 or v2.02 this will trip KNOX warranty. Towel Root will not work yet for NH7. If you are still on 4.4.2 NC5 then you can use Towel Root to root your device, this will NOT trip KNOX warranty. If you root with Chainfires CF-autoroot or his SuperSu v 1.94 or v2.02 this will trip KNOX warranty on NC5.
Recoveries, the two popular ones are TWRP and Philz CWM. INSTALLING A RECOVERY WILL TRIP KNOX WARRANTY!!! You need a recovery to flash roms so you need to make choice at this point ? Here is the link to Philz CWM latest version 6.48.4.tar https://goo.im/devs/philz_touch/CWM_Advanced_Edition/hlte/ download to desktop or downloads.
I run a stock rooted 4.4.2 NC5 with Philz custom recovery version 6.12.9 hltespr https://goo.im/devs/philz_touch/CWM_Advanced_Edition/hltespr/ . The device was rooted and warranty tripped the second day I owned it. I was in a Sprint corporate Store a couple of wks ago. Showed the tech my rooted note 3. He said I can't touch that, I said what if I unrooted the phone. He said no problem, now I can warranty the phone. He didn't care that the KNOX flag was tripped at all 0x1. Just can't be rooted when you bring it in for service. Sprint doesn't care about KNOX only Samsung cares about KNOX. When Samsung paid millions to the NSA to design a security system to track and spy on others than they care !!!
Ok lets install a recovery !!!
1. you need Odin on the desktop of your PC here is the link http://www.downloadodin.info/download-odin-1-85
2. you need to install Samsung drivers on your PC you can get them from the link in #1
3. completely power down your device, and boot into download mode (press and hold the power button, volume down button, and the home button at the same time) a new screen will popup then push the volume up button to get into download mode.
4. click on the Odin zip file and extract to desktop, right click and run as administrator
5. with your device in download mode connect it to your pc via usb cable, COM: will light up in the upper left hand corner of Odin doesn't matter what color or number just shows a connection has been made.
6. click PDA box in odin, a box will popup click where ever you have recovery file downloaded, once open it will show up in box next to PDA
7. click start wait till you see pass and success 1, then your custom recovery is installed.
After the recovery is installed, download a copy of SuperSu to your desktop here is the link http://download.chainfire.eu/396/SuperSU/ to version v1.94. Then copy and paste to sd card via USB cable. Now the next thing you are going to do is completely power down the device and boot into recovery. (press and hold the power button, volume up button, and home button at he same time) a menu will come up, click on Install Zip, then sd card to install zip and root device. Boot device and verify it is rooted, then power down, and boot into recovery. Click on backup, MAKE A BACKUP OF YOUR ROOTED ROM !!! Then make a backup of EFS file by its self it will show up in your backup file on the sd card or ext sd card depending on where you choose to put it. Copy and paste the efs file someplace safe.
With the Google Play Store download some type of root file manager like Root Explorer (what I use)
OK lets flash a rom !!!
First, you CANNOT flash a rom that is based on an older version of rom you are currently running. EX: If you are on KK 4.4.2 NC5 you can flash a rom based on NAB or NC5 but you CANNOT use a rom based on mj4 or older read the OP thread carefully . You can run AOSP roms as long as they are based on 4.4+.
1. install the new rom zip you want to flash on your sd card via usb cable from PC or download directly to device
2. power down phone completely and boot into recovery
3. from the menu find and wipe cache, delvik cache, and wipe system to install new rom, NOT FACTORY RESET !!!
4. go back to menu and click on install zip then click on where you have the zip ( i.e. sd card ) and install this will take a minute or two
5. back to main menu and reboot device this will take several minutes on the first boot of a new rom
6. enjoy your new rom !!!
Lets do a restore from backup recovery file !!!
1. completely power down device and boot into recovery
2. go to main menu and click on wipe system to install new rom ( no need to mess with the caches on a restore )
3. back to the menu click on back up and restore, then click on the backup file location ( i.e. sd card )
4. now click on restore
5. when its completed reboot device this will install your original rooted stock rom you made a backup for
Eventually you will figure out that you can make several backups and they have really weird numbered time stamps to identify them.

Thanks so much for your help! Unfortunately I am not even able to install Odin on my windows 7 pc. Chrome says its malicious and blocks it, Firefox does the same. First my Norton firewall wouldn't allow it, so I disabled that long enough to try to download Odin.
I can't do anything unless I can get Odin to download to my pc.

If I'm on CM11, can I flash a TouchWiz ROM that's on 4.4.2?
Because I've been trying to flash the Vision-X ROM but I get stuck in a bootloop after I flash the kernel and ROM.

YES, first, make sure you are wiping everything in recovery, then I would just flash the rom. This will make sure you don't have a bad down load of the rom. If it boots up, then go back into recovery and flash the kernel. You should try the LeanKernel its OC to 2.7ghz here is the link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2488082 Vision-X is TW based rom so click leankernel other n900x devices choose the " hltespr kk v3.8 " kernel. Enjoy !!!
Make sure you install Trickster or SetCPU from the play store so you can set what type of governor you want to use on the kernel. ( like interactive ) Then you need to set the min and max cpu frequencies so the kernel will give you the maximum battery life.

When you say stuck in a bootloop, does that mean its stuck at say the sprint logo ? It takes a full 5 to 6 minutes on the first boot up !!! Make sure you use the stock kernel, then flash a custom one later.
If that doesn't work, you should have made a backup of your original stock rooted 4.4.2 NC5. Go to your recovery WIPE cache, delvike cache, and wipe system to install a new rom. Then restore the original stock rooted backup and boot the device. If it boots then go back into recovery wipe everything again and install the Vision-X zip again and boot it.
Sometimes after an AOSP rom like CM11, you have to go back to stock rooted and start again.

Normally it would go to the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 logo to the Sprint logo and then turn on, but it just bootloops on the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 logo.

Yes here you go http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2472664 scroll down to old 4.4.2 NC5(D) click on show content. Download the Full Rom ODEX NC5 version. This is flashed through a recovery like twrp or cwm.

Then install the recovery look in post #3. Then root the device here is the link http://download.chainfire.eu/396/SuperSU/ this is Chainfires supersu v1.94.
Once you are back to stock rooted nc5, go to recovery make a backup to a ext sd card or use the internal sd card, then copy and paste the backup file somewhere on your PC. Now have base to work from, so if something goes south you can always get back to square one. With all the flashing I do, I end up recovering a backup at least a couple of times a wk or day if I'm trying something out. It's like system restore on a PC.

Awesome !!! Believe it or not, even with a perfect backup to restore from. Every once in awhile I will start from scratch and get a fresh stock copy of NC5, use Odin to install and get back to original official status. Then root, get rid of the bloatware, and make a backup just to keep things fresh. I have not upgraded to 4.4.4 NH7 and don't recommend it at this time. There are a lot of complaints of stuff missing or not working.
Besides, I'm rooted and flashing other roms. 4.4.4 only adds Kid Mode and some security updates, which are useless if you have a custom rom in the device.
Same issue
I am having the same issue with the bootloop sticking on the galaxy screen. I used CF autoroot to root my 4.4.2 stock. Installed Josh's KKKiller 4.4.2. Liked it but had some issues so went back to stock 4.4.2. Re rooted with CF. Installed AOSP rom but my phone needs stock voicemail to dl vociemail to phone. Went back to stock NC5 Odin. Went to reinstall TWRP and cannot install any but the latest 4.4.4 TWRP and cannot install any rom but a 4.4.4. I have re-stocked and re-rooted. I cannot even flash the stock? 4.4.4 NH7. Get the same error message from TWRP on all but Pacman, Liquidsmooth. Havent tried all the aosp but assume results will be the same. I would like to flash some 4.4.2 roms. Am I stuck?

No, just install the 4.4.4 twrp recovery that works. Boot into that recovery and wipe everything i.e. cache, delvik cache, and completely wipe system to install a new rom. Now from recovery boot into download mode. Then from your PC bring up odin and flash a fresh copy of NC5, I use micmars NC5 here is the link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2712205 now this should take you back to NC5 stock. Then try flashing Philz CWM 6.12.9 hltespr here is the link https://goo.im/devs/philz_touch/CWM_Advanced_Edition/hltespr/ it just seems to work better when you are flashing back and forth from AOSP . Just me I have beat that recovery to death and it has never failed. Make sure the first thing you do is make a backup after you are rooted, so you can always get back to square one. You should also have a backup of your efs file on your PC for safe keeping. Let me know how it goes.
I looked around for one but was unable to find one. Maybe Twi5sted's stock has the original kernel but encryption fails when I attempt it.
Any suggestions?
Yep, muinz_ri created a Stock De-Odexed ROM. I was successfully able to install Xposed by flashing everything through FlashFire and still have Knox 0x0.

I'm getting a bootloop with a very bright split second tmobile splash screen just before it reboots. I have latest TWRP, link2sd and encryption... I wonder what the problem could be...
how to make stock recovery flashable?
I do have another question regarding this rom - would you happen to know how I may be able to make the embedded recovery image flashable? TWRP doesn't seem to be working at the moment with regard to decrypting and formatting /data but the stock recovery does. It can come in handy if there is a way to do it via mobile odin possibly or via some other program.

Right now I have stock recovery as I recently reflashed the Rom. At some point however I plan to go back to TWRP.
If I run into encryption problems and need to do a reset, I would like to see if I can flash TWRP using TWRP app while booted in safe mode (if I am able to get that far).
What do you think?

Hey thanks! So I did as you said and flashed the stock recovery from the deodexed rom and it's still TWRP. Strange isn't it? It would make sense if the deodexed ROM came with TWRP but when I initially flashed it I can confirm it was stock android.
I'm confused....

Oh wait, I did something very wrong... fixing now...
Yay it worked, thanks a lot
I guess I should keep the stock recovery installed with this thing encrypted because TWRP seems broken (at least version 2.8.7.0). I emailed the developer about it.
Now I'm wondering for added flexibility, how I may be able to flash the stock recovery from MobileOdin. That seems to take .md5 files and not zips. Is this feasible to do?

Well thanks! Maybe you can point me toward the Windows way as I would like to do the same for the stock kernel, xposed, and the tethering addon.
fishinpercolator so are you having trouble with TWRP? What I did in FlashFire was flash the pre-rooted de-odexed ROM (that I linked earlier) then booted that. It was de-odexed and worked fine but boot took about 15 minutes (as it is de-odexed).
In FlashFire you need to hit the + and press Flash ZIP or OTA.
Then I installed FlashFire again (it was erased because I flashed a new ROM) and downloaded the Samsung 5.0 Xposed ZIP and flashed that in FlashFire using Flash ZIP or OTA. Basically since I have Knox 0x0, I use FlashFire as my "recovery" and it might be easier for you than finding a working TWRP image (although I am sure ShinySide is more than eager to help you). Then I installed the Xposed APK and had to reboot before it recognized the Xposed ZIP was installed.
After that, most Xposed modules started working for me.

I haven't used flashfire but will look into it. I've already tripped knox a while ago so that's not my prime concern. I want this phone to be encrypted and would like to learn a way to fix on the fly while on vacation (and without a laptop) in the event a catastrophe happens. It seems TWRP may not be removing the crypto footer when I format data as I still get the encryption password prompt.
Seems like flashfire allows you to flash roms from USB? I will need instructions for that.... <pokes around>
::update::
For some reason I thought flashfire was command line driven... I have Mobile Odin and I read that it contains flashfire, something worth looking into.
Is there a way to flash roms using ADB from a usb stick?
(NOTE- I should clarify, is there a way to flash from a command prompt assuming custom recovery is not installed and the phone is soft-bricked).

How to root the new 5.0.2 roms with build date 11.09.2015 (DMY) +?
I've tried King Root, CF-Auto-Root, but no success!
I think I've read that the new Samsung roms have root protection built in the kernel, so it would be logical to first change or patch the kernel?

I also tried two ways this is not anything else you do not
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G850A using Tapatalk
As no one answered, here is my solution to this problem...
Before upgrading make sure you make a backup with Titanium Backup or you'll have to start from scratch.
1. Install 5.0.2 ROM using Odin.
2. Use an older lollipop kernel, I used the older XME region one as it was very stable for me... and converted the boot.img with this tool. Flash it with Odin after unzipping attached file!
3. Reboot, let the phone make it's thing...
4. Flash Supersu using TWRP. Install TWRP first then use TWRP to flash SuperSU.zip.
5. If you encounter any problems, reset the phone to factory settings (Make a backup of your SD card, just in case)
6. "SecurityLogAgent 3.7.5" service must be disabled so that the phone stops bugging me about unauthorized modifications!
P.S.: Added some screenshots!
P.S. 2: Standby time on these roms is ridiculous... 2-3 days
38 downloads and no feedback? At least the steps are correct?
ROM LLP6001 (New Firmware release)
This is a test and that will trip KNOX.... So you have been warned about all possible consequences. I am not responsible of anything that can happens to your device.
Please test and report.
I will try to update with new firmwares from Samsung but I am moving to MM with Temaseks CM 13 Rom, Multiwindows works well and Pen support is good, only miss SNote. I like MM very much and N will sure be great.... I don't think Samsung will update our tablet.
Latest firmware from Samsung P600XXUDPD1
Stock.
Deodexed.
Zipaligned.
Rooted.
BusyBox.
Init.d support.
Deknoxed.
Zipalign
Very Light Debloated, all that can be installed with Playstore has been removed.
Get rid of Setup Wizard After first boot you go directly to Home Screen.
SuperSU 2.67 beta that should patch Boot.
Multi Windows quad view.
Add new Power Menu need Xposed
Bugs:
Easy Chart FC
Dont forget to install languages to get Action Memo working and pen writing recognition.
Problem with SD card install Folder mount and run it, it will fix the issues
Backup you existing config with TWRP 2.8.7.0 on ExtSd card
(Flash stock rom with odin to get new bootloader) Not sure about that, should be tested on untouched 4.4.2 system and I dont have one as new SuperSU should patch the boot.img.
Flash TWRP (I recommend the last @joshdroid that allow touch screen to work. https://s.basketbuild.com/devs/Joshndroid/TWRP/lt03wifi).
Reboot in Recovery, Power off then push Power and volume up for 3 seconds, release buttons. Wait until TWRP load.
Factory reset and wipe all but SDext, format data.
Flash the ROM in recovery with TWRP 2.8.7.0. After flashing if TWRP ask to fix root, DO NOT INSTALL!
This is a beta version and should work fine with patched bootloader or unpatched bootloader but I am not sure, please report on success or failures.
Xposed beta version for 5.1.1 works perfectly.
Thanks to @joshdroid for TWRP with touchscreen
@SuperR for Kitchen
@karthikrr that lead the way for patched boot
and others that help testing
BTW: There is a test kernel Z1 by @xluco that works very well test 5.1.1 You can flash it with Flashify or TWRP

Before flashing factory reset, wipe all but external sd and format data. That should make it.

It should flash, often you have to format data
What version of TWRP you have? Should be 2.8.7.0
Did you backup with TWRP on your SD ext card? If yes you can restore in TWRP
Did you format /data? writing yes when TWRP ask?
http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/SM-P600/ with ODIN, there is no zip files now only my rom I think.
I have twrp 2870 I formated everything but internal storage. It flashed but after the Samsung boot screen the screen goes black and nothing happens after that. Is the latest firmware 4.4.2 for our device?
I dont know if you wait long enough. First boot is very long.5 10mn possible. Now if you are comming from 4.4.2 try to flash original 5.1.1 from Samsung with odin, flash TWRP and flash the rom.
Nobody report yet on flashing result bedide you.

Instructions For Installing Pie Roms
Please Note This Is Not A Root Method For Oreo Or Pie. As Of Now There Is Still No Root Method For Oreo Or Pie. This Takes Some Patience To InstallS8 SM-G950U/U1/W Install Instructions And Files
If you didnt upgrade to V8 bootloaders using odin. I recommend flashing full stock firmware with V8 bootloaders even if you are already on V8 bootloader via OTA update. I feel that maybe something in the OTA from V7 bootloaders to V8 may have corrupted a bootloader file and some people have experienced bricks with trying to update to V8 bootloaders from V7 using the below method so I recommend flashing full stock V8 firmware in Odin before trying this method and just understand there has been a risk of bricking device. Full stock can be found on Sammobile or updato or any other service you can find it. You will have to reroot of course. If you Updated to V8 bootloaders using odin method already then no need to do so again

boot phone back up to system
you will have 2 apps in your apps drawer Host Adblocking and Stock Adblocking
too enable adblocking run the Host Adblocking app it may require rebooting phone to work
too disable adblocking run Stock Adblocking this probably will not require a reboot
what this does is move the system/etc/hosts file to the internal storage of your phone then I symliink the one in the internal storage to the system/etc/host file this way the file can be changed back and forth . If you would wipe data in stock recovery however you would need to reflash the zip in safetrap as a data wipe would delete the host file since it is now located on internal storage

Even though system cannot be rooted you still have safestrap recovery which is basically twrp recovery for locked bootloaders. So with safestrap you can still flash zips. Make backups delete or modify system apps or data and good thing is Samsung apps still work as well as safetynet passes

Hi. So I apologize for any questions that may seem glaringly obvious to y'all but I have been away from the Android world of rooting for a number of years and A LOT has changed. Instead of doing one massive post, I'm going to ask one question at a time because I'm assuming that the answer to one question will also fill in the blanks to other questions....
How do I determine what version of bootloader my S8+ (DTA6 build) is running?
My ultimate goal is to get root. I do not care if I have to use an outdated ROM (in this case, Nougat, from what I can gather).
Thanks in advance.
