7.SuperSU Cost $FREE
8.BusyBox Cost $FREE
9.Developer Options (USB Debug)
____________________
Okay now assuming that everything has been required, we can begin.
Go into Settings>System>About Device & Enable Developer Options.(Keep tapping the "Build Number" category until it says Developer options have been enabled.
Connect your device with your usb that which comes with the phone on the computer. Open "Kingo ROOT" on your computer with admin rights, and once the program asks you to turn USB Debug on, go on your phone into Settings>System>Developer options and make sure it is enabled as well as usb debugging. Wait for kingo root to find your device and once found, it will ask you to either "Reroot,Root, or Remove Root, click "Reroot" then wait for it to start.(After it starts you should see on your phone the kingo root usb app pop-up and show the same thing you see on your computer)
After it is done it should confirm you have been rooted and will ask to donate.
Now you may exit out of the program on the computer and the phone and once out of the app and back on your phone, you will want to look in your app drawer for the kingo root "Superuser" and uninstall this. Then head on over to the playstore if haven't all ready and install "SuperSU" & "Busybox" if want to. Once have the SuperSU app open it and install the su binary updates with the "Normal" option not the recovery one since we don't have that.... & once done just press OK DO NOT REBOOT or you will bootloop and will have to use Odin to reflash your system of your phone to get it back working out of the box "state"
UPDATE Have a pc around and can still boot with root:
Yamaha169 said:
You can restart the device while rooted... but you have to have ADB to do so...
When you reboot ... you will get stuck at the ATT logo... at this point... plug your phone in to your pc...
Open up ADB (COMMAND WINDOW)
type in
ADB devices
until your device # appears in adb... (this can take a minute for your pc to find your phone) so don't panic
This means the phone is found...
From this point... type
ADB ROOT
ADB SHELL
YOU will now be inside the shell of the device with root permissions
Now type
setenforce 0
(MAKE SURE LOWERCASE just like seen. "setenforce 0" if do Setenforce 0 it won't be found.....)
This will set selinux to permissive ... allowing the phone to boot...
Someone with enough experience could probably create a selinux permissive stock kernel ... but I've contacted several developers with no response ...
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Now open up the root checker app & click verify to see if you truly do have root.(You must grant root access so allow once it pops up.) Enjoy your root but never ever reboot.
UPDATE: How to Root If Possibly not allowing you to root!!!
Step one you will need to of downloaded "Android Studio
Step two you will now need to install all of the updates(Well that's what I did) inside the studio program.
Step three now locate 'program tools" which for me was located here: C:\Users\NameofComputer\AppData\Local\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools
Step four make a cmd.exe file to go in the platform-tools simply just clicking on the "start button" on windows and searching "cmd" then dragging the cmd file to the folder.(Rename it to something like ADB Root or something different than just cmd)
Step FIVE download the su binary which can be located HERE and place it in the "platform-tools" folder.
Step SIX now almost there. Open the cmd file(ADB Root.exe) and once opened, plug the phone into the computer with the cable that came with your phone.
Step Seven:^.^ now with the phone plugged in and the program start, type this command to make sure your device is found:
Code:
adb devices
and if found you will see your attached devices and if more than one or can't see your device, you can do
Code:
adb kill-server
command and it will restart adb.
Step Eight: MAGIC time lol now that your phone is connected and you can see it is indeed listed, type these commands as followed:
Code:
adb root
adb remount
adb push su /system/bin/su
adb shell
chown 0:0 /system/bin/su
chmod 6755 /system/bin/su
You don't really have to do the other commands after pushing su it's just for pre-caution.
Step Nine: Now do the following at the top and try to use the Kingo root once more and click root or reroot.
If this doesn't work try to press unroot and restart phone then try this again.
Also like down below I talk about if you did reboot before you unrooted, you can still unroot but sometimes it's tricky and it needs you to do the adb remount before will work so just remember that...
--------------------
$#$<UnRooting & Keeping Systemless Root So You Can Reboot & Reroot>
Requirements:
1.Your Phone Device SM-G92-0/5/8A
2.Root Access(Superuser rights)
3.SuperSU Cost $FREE
4.Root Checker Cost $FREE
____________________
This is very simple and easy to do, all you must do after every root and before every reboot is to go into "SuperSU" and go into the settings and scroll down until you see "Fully Unroot" and click that and once done verify with the root checker that you are indeed unrooted but still have adb shell and once done that you may freely reboot with no bootloop and then if want root once more just use "Kingo Root" on the computer to reroot once more.(I'm hoping someone will come out with an app that does the same thing and works so we don't need the computer anymore which would make it much easier..)
Edit/Update:
I found that if you maybe forgot to unroot before a reboot that you can still unroot without the need of going into odin and reflashing stock system just by connecting your phone to the computer via the usb that which comes with your phone and opening up Kingo Root and waiting for it to find your phone then click unroot and wait for it after you have unrooted and you will hear a sound which means it's fixed! So just force shutdown the device with pressing both: Volume Down+Home Button+Power then it will boot back up as normal!

____________________
Okay my fellow members that stayed on 5.1.1 with me, this tut did once work but then at&t blocked me and it stopped working but now rejoice becase there is a bypass once more!!!
NEW WAY:
I'm not sure which worked so I'm gonna just tell you everything that I did...
1.I first rooted obviously
2.I found a new TetheringProvision.apk which I have uploaded down in the attachment and at the top.
3.I used adb root for this but this can also be done with sqlite editior so I'll explain both ways, first way will be the easy way the adb root...>>>
Step 1: Ensure you have the correct OEM drivers installed for your handset on the computer
Step 2: Download and install the necessary ADB drivers (v1.4.2)
Step 3: Enable USB debugging on your Android handset:
Go to Settings > About Device, and tap the build number 7 times or until you see 'You're now a developer' message.
Return to Settings > Developer options and use the toggle button to turn on USB debugging. Then tap OK button to accept the warning and continue.
Step 4:Connect your device to PC with original USB cable.
Step 5: Launch a command window on your Windows PC.
Step 6: Access ADB shell and run the following command:
adb shell now just type " settings put global tether_dun_required 0 " and enter.
________----------Now the sqlite way
Step 1:Go into sqlite editor and allow root rights...
Step 2: Locate "Settings Storage" and click on "Settings.db then click on "global"
Step 3:Locate tether_dun_required 0 and if not there add by clicking on the +
then fill out name as " tether_dun_required " >>And value as " 0 " and then save file and unroot then reboot.
Now then after all of that I downloaded the build.prop which I know you don't have to but it makes it easier for me to do so and probably for you too...
Step 1:Get build.prop editor from the playstore and open it to grant root rights.
Step 2:Click on the pencil icon on the top right where the search icon is.
Step 3: Scroll all the way down to an open line.(If not one make one.)
and put this in the line....>>> " net.tethering.noprovisioning=true " and then click the save button at the top right and then save it and unroot then reboot.
Then replacing the Tetherprovision.apk . >>>
Step 1: Download the NEW modded TetherProvision.apk at top or at bottom.
Step 2: get a root explorer and go to System/App/TetheringProvision
Step 3: Rename the actual TetheringProvision.apk to TetheringProvision.apk.bak
Step 4: in the same location, go into "arm64" and rename the TetheringProvision.odex to TetheringProvision.odex.bak
Step 5: Now locate the modded TetheringProvision.apk you've just downloaded and place it in System/App/TetheringProvision/ now should be two TetheringProvision, the TetheringProvision.apk.bak and the modded one, TetheringProvision.apk.
Step 6: change the property promissions of the tetheringprovision.apk to give it root rights by changing the promissions to look just like the actual one which is " rw-r--r-- "
Step 7: save and unroot then reboot!
Now youre wifi tether and usb should work!!! enjoy!

<How To Install Viper4android>
Requirements:
1.Your Phone Device SM-G92-0/5/8A
2.Root Access(Superuser rights & .SuperSU Cost $FREE)
3.Fast Reboot
4.Soft Reboot
5.Viper4Android V2.3.4.0
6.Audio_Effect.Config
7.Titanium Backup & Titanium Backup Pro License Cost $Free | $5.99
8.IRS Impulse Response Sample files
9.Root Explorer Cost $3.99
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
To Read the tuts yourself than rather follow my tut, you may do so by following This Link & This Link
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Alright, I decided to do my own detail tut to make it much easier so follow me and you'll have viper4android in no time : )
So let's get begin, download if not already, the busybox,SuperSU,TitaniumBackup,Fast reboot,Soft Reboot, & Root explorer. Now having all that done open up Busybox and allow it root rights and you may wait for it to research for a smart intall, or just press install. Once you installed it in the default location System/xbin, click on the will be installed to location and choose System/bin and install it there too.(Not sure why but that's what the tut called for.)
Now let's download the folders for viper4android, go ahead and download Audio_Effect.Config.zip file,IRS Impulse Response Sample files, & the Viper4Android V2.3.4.0 folder.
Now open up the root explorer and unzip all that which is zipped up.(Which is all of the files;Audio_Effect.Config.zip file,IRS Impulse Response Sample files.zip, & the Viper4Android V2.3.4.0 folder.zip
)
Now once all are extracted, we will begin putting what is needed where.
Let's start off with the ViPER4Android_FX_A4.x (The actual name of the folder) you're gonna want to long press it and copy this folder. Once done, you're gonna want to paste this folder in System>Priv-app and make sure to change the permission of the .apk to 0644 rw-r--r-- & the FOLDER to 0755 rwxr-xr-x(The folder should have the same permissions as the other folders in that location.) which is inside the folder to give it root access which is 0644;rw-r--r-- and if not sure what root permission should look like, refer to this link Or Google what it looks like, then save/press ok.
Now go back to where you extracted your folders, and this time copy the "audio_effects.conf and go to System>etc and find and rename the actual audio_effects.conf to audio_effects.conf.bak and then paste the copied modded audio_effects.conf here & DONT FORGET change the permissions to give it root rights.
Now after all is done, open the app "Titanium Backup Pro" and look for and freeze these following applications: 1.Adapt Sound 4.0 & SoundAlive 3.0 now open the app "Soft Reboot (Root) and click yes you want to do a soft reboot. Then once back up(If want you can click the "Fast reboot app" to quickly refresh the system) and running you should see the viper app inside your app drawer. Open it and install the update/software when ask you to and once done it should ask for you to reboot just click on ok and then go out and back to the "Soft Reboot (Root) then do another soft reboot.
Now almost DONE!!! Once back up and running again, go to your root explorer again where you extracted the folders and grab the folder of "ViPER4Android and move it to your device storage ex; Storage/emulated/0 (It's where the download folder is and dcim folder is.. Then finally, go toSettings>Device>Sounds and notifications>Sound quality and effects and toggle on all of the listings[NOTE YOU MUST PUT EARPHONES IN FOR THESE TOGGLES TO SHOW]; UHQ Upscaler|SoundAlive+|Tube Amp Pro now you're done enjoy viper4android via editing the settings in the app.
Edit
You need to download SELinux Mode Changer and give root rights and just click on permissive mode and all done. Also might need to use compatible mode in the Viper4Android settings.
I found that this mod works with Pandora and Youtube app but not with google music or the default music app and not sure how to fix that....
__________________________________0
This is some more quick finds which you don't need a tut for just information I'd like to share so you all know.
I found out that you can use Titanium Backup Pro Cost $5.99 and freeze anything you want such as bloatware and that annoying notification that appears every time you reboot if have systemless root installed "SecurityLogAgent" and as long as you UNROOT before you reboot, it is safe and everything you froze stays frozen.
Now I haven't tried uninstalling any system apps so I wouldn't advise doing that unless you wanted to but I don't see the point except to free space up since you can just freeze anything and does the same thing except for freeing space....
I haven't been able to unlock the bootloader in my research and errors which probably never gonna happen anytime soon....
I also never found an app that could root the device yet without a computer....
And yeah that's it! I just was so happy to find out all of this and just had to share it with xda members which are on the same boat as me that has been wanting some "freedom" which now can have a piece of it. : )
If found these tuts to be helpful, feel free to hit thanks button and if want donate.

Odin Flash Kernel for systemless root.
obtain root
Download SuperSU
After rooted download some sort of buildprop editor and search for " ro.securestorage.support=true" Now change =true to =false. and save!
Now go into the superSU app and fully unroot then reboot and also keep adb shell root!
So you fix the wifi bug plus keep the adb shell so you can obtain root once more! Now we just need some app that can give root access with 1 click without needing a pc and this would work for me until we can actually reboot with root without it bootlooping anyways.... I still can't find a wifi tether app or a method that works for the at&t hotspot app though...

Question for clarification.
So current method for rooting g928a is this systemless root.
Question 1, will it brick my phone with this root if i reboot, because i read somewhere on here that the phone will just keep on rebooting.
You mention using superSU app to unroot to reboot. So basically I have to unroot with superSU whenever I want to reboot then reflash again to get root?

Yes you must unroot to remove the su binary so the system acts like nothing has happen. I use kingo root for windows and it works every time with root all you need to do is hit "root" or it may say "reroot" and works every time. I have been playing with this a lot trying to do things to get it to reboot with root but have failed so far.... I wish someone with more experience would approach this so we could have an app to use at least so we not have to use pc every time to reroot until we get the ability to keep root and reboot.
Kingo root can be found here : https://www.kingoapp.com/android-root.htm
and this works after flashing the kernel from odin. This was the only way I actually found to be able to get root was with this because manually pushing su just didn't work for me....

Thanks for being much clearer on the instructions and idoit proof. I was worried about the bootloop and I thought there was no exit strategy on this expensive phone until you mention reflash. With your extensive tinkering on this, did your knox security trip up?
If this is the only possible way, maybe the community could make some sort of app that if we have to shutdown or reboot the phone specifically for g928a, it will safely unroot it for us.
TASKER?!

Anyone know if this still works after taking the latest OTA a few days ago?

The problem is this isn't root. I restart my phone several times a day. There is no point especially if I can't get a custom OS. However, thanks for making the instructions clear. And for anyone who doesn't understand systemless root, it's temp root. When you reboot dmverity sees the false file structure and tries to rewrite and reverse the changes, effectively removing root. On the Note 5 AT&T for temp root you didn't have to unroot before reboot as it wouldn't boot loop, it would just remove root and let you continue on. So something in this version must be getting farther in breaking past dmverity if it's causing the OS to bootloop.

I was wondering if maybe we could place SU somewhere else so we might could trick it to reboot with root but haven't done it yet and or maybe keep SU on the sdcard/storage and use the terminal on the phone to push su to xbin every reboot but just hoping maybe can get root working without making the stupid thing bootloop.... Like I said I been doing a lot of dumb stuff with my phone because I have been so disappointed in this phone with not having wifi tether at the most really but now that got that I'm much happier but I'm still on the research of keeping root and being able to reboot.
I won't be updating until something maybe for sure comes along with 6.0 I can wait because my galaxy s4 I had stayed on stock version forever because was able to do everything so was no need to update really.... Anyways yeah lol maybe someone greater or maybe my playing around will work. WE can only hope...
Oh yeah, to the other guy NO it did not trip knox doing any of the things I've done. which I wouldn't care if could unlock the bootloader lol...
Edit:
I've done all I can think of and didn't work to keep root on a reboot except it did keep root without bootloop with a soft reboot...
I found out to maybe later will add tut up top but for now I'd like to tell you or whoever, if you do bootloop due to not being able to access the su unroot in time, you can still connect your device with Kingo Root in that bootloop and can unroot to save you from having to reflash every time... Might have to reboot as soon as you hear the found from the unroot though.
Oh and on a factory reset everything sticks excepts what was frozen becomes unfrozen just fyi...
Yeah, that's all I can find so I'm done with it hope someone can help later on but I'm just happy with wifi tether so much : )

So what all can we do with this root
Thank you for your hard work. it's very much appreciated!!!
Will pay part of my bounty which is 50 dollars pay day!!
But, please reply. what all can we do with this root!?

Hi, I didn't come up with anything but the fix for wifi bug and hotspot app.
I just made a very detail tut to help others, but thanks.
I would wait on the bounty to be paid to someone who can make it possible to keep root on and still be able to reboot.

So in theory with this method I can root, install a modified tetheringprovisions, unroot (as hotspot is the only feature I actually desire), and go about my business without worrying about bootlooping or knox being tripped? Feels too good to be true, but I want to believe.

Just a reminder that Android 6.0.1 is right around the corner. If you don't fully go back to stock before the upgrade it will not flash and could possibly wipe the data partition. Both the system and boot images need to be 100% stock.

It's true, that's how my phone is rolling with frozen apps and the modded hotspot without root, but still the systemless root remains in the system but doesn't do anything with out a computer or applying the kingo root to true root it.
I haven't tested the adaway yet so idk if will work or not.... and I been wanting xpose to work to disable youtube ads but haven't tried that either. . I might root tonight and try out adway tho.
But yeah to your question you are 100% safe and will not change anything or trip anything; phone can reboot all it wants with no bootloops with the modded tether is what I'm trying to say lol .. .
Edit:
Yeah adaway works after unroot and reboot. . . But I decided not to use it because a lot of people us adfly and it wouldn't let me access the link so yeah.....
On another note I froze a lot of stuff and done a lot of things not sure which part caused it but it doesn't bother me because I don't use samsung pay but in the end I had to freeze samsung framework for samsung pay because it kept saying force closed but which again Idc about that app so no biggy to me : )

Was Samsung Pay crashing before you started freezing apps? I have yet to use Pay but I'd prefer to keep my options open if possible.

Honestly, I'm not sure but it had to be either the freezing at&t update or securityagent because it seemed to happen after that... Or could be the hotspot mod but I didn't get any crashes until i froze those 2 apps so idk...

Package Disabler in play store freezes apps so what's the point?
Can you fully remove with TiBu and be safe unrooted?

Yeah and from what I've seen of the nightmares people have been having with their Note 5's on Marshmallow, I'm staying FAR away from it!

I can confirm this works. Sorta a pain to have to reroot but hey, It's progress. We may never have a custom ROM option or recovery, But this is the next big thing. If we can find a app that'll just reroot us. it's perfect. (somewhat) Just rooted a few minutes ago. Going to play around. More than likely I'll re flash stock and make a youtube video for anyone needing questions or wanting to see it be done.
And I lied.. So, My experience was weird. Lagging constantly and weird download issues with a fresh wipe.
I'm sadly gonna have to unroot and hope that a better method would come out.

I'm not sure why you would experience "lag" because I have no lag what so ever. Maybe try going to settings>system>developer options and change both transition animation scale and window animation scale to 0.5x
I've reflashed stock many of times due to to trying to find everything there is to find and I've had no "lag" but also you could download the soft reboot and fast reboot from market. Fast reboot frees up memory via closing and restarting certain apps, and soft reboot kills zygote and does a "hot reboot" without going through whole start up process .
Please reply I'm gonna try and help you : )

I can confirm freezing anything won't harm the system on a reboot after unrooting but not sure about removing the apps would be safe. I have however remove the youtube app and reinstalled it in play store and it didn't harm anything.

Thanks for helping me! I went ahead and flashed stock and followed your steps!
Working great now!
NOW, My next question... What difference would it make if I used package disabler pro VS TBU?
Wouldn't both of these apps freeze the processes? Or would it make a difference with root and SU access?

I'm not sure why you would experience "lag" because I have no lag what so ever. Maybe try going to settings>system>developer options and change both transition animation scale and window animation scale to 0.5x
I've reflashed stock many of times due to to trying to find everything there is to find and I've had no "lag" but also you could download the soft reboot and fast reboot from market.

I'm not sure because I've never heard of that program, but I did buy it just now for about $1.89 and the activation keeps failing so I can't test it to see the difference but with titanium you can do everything not just freeze stuff but back up apps and their data and much more.
Titanium backup has been around for ages which is why I recommend it.

I use package Disabler. Works like TiBu without root. Only reason to root would be to fully remove apps but would it boot okay after?

How to install Xposed Framework on the Huawei GX8/G8.

I was curious to know to how xposed framework can be installed on the Huawei GX8 so I went through different sites to find at least an easy way to do that but honestly i didn't find any easy steps. They are more or less complicated depending on the individual attempting the procedure. ok
It is advised to take complete backup before deodexing so that you can replace the deodexed apps with the odexed backups in case you face some Apps crashing. Deodexing is important in order to make xposed framework install successfully and use some modules as well.
Warning: You attempt this procedure at your own risk, bare in mind that I will not be held responsible if you brick your device for attempting this procedure.
Prerequisites:
Rooted device.
Fully functional TWRP recovery or any other recovery with File manager support.
Backup all your data & apps.
Download this APP for deodexing:https://docs.google.com/uc?id=0BwSanb5zBfFiaHN5MGV2ZnFqcVU&export=download
Deodexing the ROM:
Step 1: Extract the BatchAPKTool to your preferred location.
Step 2: Open BatchAPKTool.exe. Set Language to English when prompted.
Step 3: The tool will now ask you to chose task.
Step 4: Type 83 and set smali version to smali-2.1.2.jar by entering 2. Now type 84 and set Android API level to 21 (Android 5.0), 22 (Android 5.1.1) or 23 (Android 6.0). This value must match with the firmware you have currently installed on your device.
Step 5: Now connect your device to PC. Make sure USB Debugging Mode is enabled and necessary Huawei Drivers are installed.
Step 6: In BatchAPKTool window, type 13 and then enter 4. This will pull all files from /system/app , /system/framework , /system/priv-app from your device. This may take some time so wait patiently. (You might also do it manually using Root Explorer)
Step 7: Once it’s done press Enter to return to main BatchAPKTool Menu.
Step 8: We’ll now deodex the apps. Enter 01 in the tool. It will now ask you for your ARM version. Enter “arm” and press Enter. Wait for the process to be completed.
Step 9: In the directory where you have extracted BatchAPKTool, you’ll find three folders named _priv-app, _app and _framework. Remove the underscore from the folder names so that they are now priv-app, app and framework respectively.
Step 10: Create a new SYSTEM FOLDER and name it DEODEXED SYSTEM and copy those three folders inside it. Now copy the System folder to your SD card or Internal Memory.
Replacing Odexed Apps with Deodexed Apps:
1: Boot your device into recovery and backup System partition
2: Using the built in file manager in recovery, delete the app, framework and priv-app folders from your system partition.
VERY IMPORTANT: Make sure that in twrp in the "Mount" section the "Only mount system read-only" is unchecked in order to copy the files to system.
3: Now copy the app, framework and priv-app folders from system folder (which we copied to SD card or Internal) and paste them to the SYSTEM partition i.e. /system/
4: When done, reboot your device. First boot will be extremely long. Might take 20-30 minutes so be patient.
ALTERNATE METHOD:
NOTE: It may not be possible to copy files from one folder to another in recovery mode, so this is what i did...
1. Create a NEW FOLDER in your internal memory and name it ORIGINAL SYSTEM.
2. Copy PRIV-APP, APP and FRAMEWORK from the ORIGINAL SYSTEM FOLDER and paste it in the ORIGINAL SYSTEM FOLDER in the memory of your device.
3. Now copy the THREE files in the DEODEXED SYSTEM FOLDER to the ORIGINAL SYSTEM FOLDER in the root of your device.
4. Your device will reboot immediately the files are copied. The boot may take 20-30 minutes so be PATIENT..
Installing Xposed Framework.
1. Go to the official thread and download the latest version(xposed-v86-sdk23-arm64) for Marshmallow
2. Download the apk and the uninstaller arm zip just in case anything goes sideways you can flash the uninstaller to unistall xposed framework.
3. Install the apk file and flash the v80-sdk23-arm zip in recovery. Again device might take 20-30 minutes to boot.
4. For Android 6.0:
Open build.prop
add these lines ro.config.hwtheme=0
ro.config.hw_theme=0
For Android 5.0-5.1.1:
Open local.prop (in system/emui/base/prop/local.prop)
add these lines ro.config.hwtheme=0
ro.config.hw_theme=0
The commands is to ACTIVATE the framework.

Everything Works Wi-Fi Calling, VOLTE, Even Bluetooth Works I Even Paired One Of My Bluetooth Headsets And Even After A Reboot It Automatically Re-Paired And It's Still Connected No Bugs Whatsoever This Is 100% Deodexed And Not Ran Into One Bug Yet! Even Though I Always Thought Benchmarks Is Bull In My Opinion, I Always Get Above 143,000 Antutu Benchmark Scores!

Oh yeah by the way even though i don't use Xposed, but for testing purposes even Xposed works!

It's super stable there is no instability issues. Samsung pay will not work because of root im guessing latest samsung pay update should now check for both triggered knox and root even while i was on the odexed firmware root method samsung pay or any of the other paying apps didn't work as well. Flashing the modified tar file will likely flash the sprint firmware but the step after that your installing the tmobile firmware over it so there is no sprint system once your device boots to the setup wizard the only thing that's sprint is the kernel everything else is tmobile based.

Your welcome. :good:

And by the way just to let everyone know i have found a way to get the rom to install from the internal storage as well! Internal storage root method will be the main method so no more MicroSD card instructions from now on which should be somewhat easier. Once im done testing, I will most likely release the instructions tomorrow or by the weekend.

[ROOT]G955U/G955U1 SnapDragon SamPWND Root IS HERE!

FINALLY!
We Present To You
SamPWND!
Root for the USA Variants of the S8 & S8 Plus Devices!
(This thread will focus only on the S8+)
This thread had been closed/locked until further notice. The thread and links should remain active and the thread has served it's purpose. You will need to search the thread if you have any questions pertaining to root or any errors/issues that you are facing. The other reason I have decided to close the thread is because it has gone off topic one too many times, people like to argue and debate and MODS have had to come in here 1 too many times to clean it up so as to make life easier, I will just shut it down. Please do not bombard me with PM's for root assistance because if it has been answered in this thread already (and it most likely has) I will just direct you to search in the thread if I am able to respond at all.
ALSO, please do not utilize our firmware/root files/method without gaining permission first or I will ask for the thread to be removed/locked. Just because the thread gets closed does not mean we didn't spend a lot of time to get to this point.
Thank you and enjoy SamPWND root!​
DISCLAIMER:
We are not responsible for any damage done to your device as no one is "forcing" you to root your phone! If you are not sure of how to follow instructions or use ADB then I would suggest waiting for someone to help you or that you read up on how these things work before diving head first. The ENG system is not very stable when it comes to root as well as it has a ton of tools and binaries not available on stock devices so we are not responsible if you break something while on any firmwares but especially while on the ENG firmware.
DISCLAIMER 2:
Please do not take our work and post it elsewhere. We spent a lot of time on this for people to take it and use it as if it is their own. With that being said, if you have a better process for something or find any issues/errors, please PM myself or one of the listed contributors of this root method, do NOT post it directly in the thread because it causes confusion. We know with 100% certainty the files and method presented WORK. If it is not working for someone there are a number of possible reasons why. If users start modifying our files/scripts and posting them and you decide you are going to use someone else's files/scripts, do not post in our threads asking for us to help you because we will have no idea what was modified or changed and will just tell you to use the original files.
Returning to Stock:
- It is possible to return to 100% stock and it is very EASY to do.
- This is the reason why I provide both Normal, and Comsey ODIN's.
- All you need is a full stock 4 files firmware of your choice.
- Extract those files. Open ODIN and select the 4 files in their respective slots.
* IF YOU GET ERRORS such as model mismatch, start with 1 partition at a time to find out which one is throwing the error. (In my experience, it is the BL file that causes the error.) Once you find the culprit, throw that partition into the other ODIN. (For example, the BL file is giving an error in Comsey ODIN, throw the BL file in NORMAL ODIN and flash it by itself.)
* Typically you might have to throw individual partitions into either of the ODIN's but in the end you will be back on full stock firmware.
What doesn't work while rooted?
- On ANY ROOTED device, anything that utilizes "SafetyNet" will NOT work.
- Magisk and/or SuHide will NOT work. Our bootloader is still locked and these two modify the boot.img which would cause our devices to not boot up and having to start the root process over again, you have been warned!
- Systemless root also does NOT work. Again, this patched the boot.img which we cannot do because of our locked bootloader.
- Battery currently only charges to 80%. There are a few that feel it legit doesn't charge fully but others are claiming they get the same amount of life as they did with a 100% battery so the 80% might just be a visual issue or "fake" when it is really at 100%. Either way, we are still looking into this.

@jrkruse (for uploading system.img.ext4 and his root zip for the part 2 instructions)
@V0idst4r (for help in creating a "1 click" method for part 1!)
Initial Description on the process:
We are essentially flashing a modified 4 file firmware package in ODIN and then utilizing a few binaries in conjunction with SU binary and a permissive kernel. We will then be running some ADB commands and in order to have a fully working, amazing root with all things working we will be utilizing a stock system.img & a root script in conjunction with Flashfire. If you want to know all the technical details, you can take apart the files if you would like. It is released, so it is no longer a secret!
PART 1 Instructions: NEW
Flashing SamPWND 4 Files Firmware:
1) Download the PART 1 FILES Listed Below (this includes SamPWND_Root.zip and Initial ODIN 4 Files FIRMWARE and ODIN's if you do not already have them.)
2) Extract the 4 Files ODIN Firmware Package (also extract the ODIN's if you do not have them already.)
3) Open Comsey ODIN and select each partition and then select the files from the 4 File Firmware Package you extracted (BL goes in BL slot, AP in AP, CP in CP & CSC in CSC.) The options you select in ODIN shouldn't matter but I typically select F. Reset Time, Auto Reboot, Re-Partition, Nand Erase All & Update Bootloader.
4) Press Start and Wait for it to Finish. Once it finishes, if it boots into stock recovery simply select "Reboot System"
Take a breather, the ODIN portion is done (unless you have to start over for some reason...)
Now the NEW Root Process:
1) Once the phone is booted up, make sure you have ADB Enabled and connected to your PC. It should have prompted you to accept USB debugging as soon as it booted up.
2) Unzip the SamPWND_Root.zip
3) Double click "step1"
4) Wait for it to finish and once it reboots and comes back on you will be rooted with SuperSU!
5) Continue to PART 2 for "EVEN BETTER ROOT"
* It is a Windows bat file so not sure if it works on MAC. If you can't run bat files, use the OLD instructions.
* The bat will take about 30 seconds to run it's course. This is due to giving enough time for the remount script to mount the system as RW.
PART 1 Instructions: OLD
1) Download the PART 1 FILES Listed Below (this includes Systemroot + ADB zip, Initial ODIN 4 Files FIRMWARE and ODIN's if you do not already have them)
2) Extract the 4 Files ODIN Firmware Package, Also extract the ODIN's if you don't have them already.
3) Open Comsey ODIN and select each partition and then select the files from the 4 File Firmware Package you extracted (BL goes in BL slot, AP in AP, CP in CP & CSC in CSC.) The options you select in ODIN shouldn't matter but I typically select F. Reset Time, Auto Reboot, Re-Partition, Nand Erase All & Update Bootloader.
4) Press Start and Wait for it to Finish. Once it finishes, if it boots into stock recovery simply select "Reboot System"
Take a breather, the ODIN portion is done (unless you have to start over for some reason...)
Now the ADB Process to actually Root:
1) Extract the Systemroot + ADB zip listed below in an easy to find directory.
2) Make sure phone is connected to PC and ensure USB Debugging is enabled.
3) In the folder you extracted, you should see a "cmd-here" file. Double click it and it should open up an ADB cmd window.
4) Now we will start with the ADB commands:
- Type
Code:
adb push systemroot /data/local/tmp
What it will look like:
C:\Users\Thomas\Desktop\Minimal ADB and Fastboot>adb push systemroot /data/local/tmp
/data/local/tmp/systemroot/: 8 files pushed. 0 files skipped. 10.0 MB/s (7072263 bytes in 0.673s)
- Type
Code:
adb shell chmod -R 7777 /data/local/tmp
What it will look like:
C:\Users\Thomas\Desktop\Minimal ADB and Fastboot>adb shell chmod -R 7777 /data/local/tmp
C:\Users\Thomas\Desktop\Minimal ADB and Fastboot>
- Type
Code:
adb shell setsid su
What it will look like:
C:\Users\Thomas\Desktop\Minimal ADB and Fastboot>adb shell setsid su
(It will be blank with the blinking cursor, move to next step)
- Type
Code:
id
(you should at this point see that your are in a root shell!)
What it will look like:
id
uid=0(root) gid=0(root) groups=0(root),1004(input),1007(log),1011(adb),1015(sdcard_rw),1028(sdcard_r),3001(net_bt_admin),3002(net_bt),3003(inet),3006(net_bw_stats),3009(readproc) context=u:r:shell:s0
- Type
Code:
echo /data/local/tmp/systemroot/remount2.sh > /sys/kernel/uevent_helper
What it will look like:
echo /data/local/tmp/systemroot/remount2.sh > /sys/kernel/uevent_helper
(Again, it will be blank with a blinking cursor after you type the command in, move to next step)
- WAIT ABOUT 30 SECONDS BEFORE MOVING TO THE NEXT COMMAND
- Type "
Code:
mount
" (you should now see rw next to rootfs and system partitions)
What it will look like:
mount
(After we type in mount, we are looking for the below two items to say rw like they do in the next two lines)
rootfs on / type rootfs (rw,seclabel,size=1586716k,nr_inodes=396679)
/dev/block/sda19 on /system type ext4 (rw,seclabel,relatime)
- Type
Code:
sh /data/local/tmp/systemroot/root.sh
What it will look like:
sh /data/local/tmp/systemroot/root.sh
rm: /system/bin/install-recovery.sh: No such file or directory
cp: /system/bin/.ext/.su: No such file or directory
chmod: /system/bin/.ext/.su: No such file or directory
chcon: /system/bin/.ext/.su: No such file or directory
touch: '/data/.supersu': Permission denied
/data/local/tmp/systemroot/root.sh[55]: can't create /data/.supersu: Permission denied
chmod: /data/.supersu: No such file or directory
C:\Users\Thomas\Desktop\Minimal ADB and Fastboot\NEWSAMPWNDFILES>
5) If you followed all of the above commands to the T, your device will reboot and you will have SuperSU installed.
6) Install Flashfire from the Play Store.
7) Up to this point, you are on an ENG system.img with root that doesn't function the way we would like it to. This means you will feel a vibrate every time you try to gain SU access as well as it will take quite a while for an SU prompt. You can stay on this root if you would like to experiment with the ENG system, but outside of that I would HIGHLY recommend you proceed to the STEP 2 PROCESS.
PART 2 Instructions:
1) Download the PART 2 FILES listed below (this includes the system.img.ext4 and the add CSC Systemroot zip both provided courtesy of @jrkruse , view post #195 for specifics on what these are but essentially they are stock QD2 system.img and the zip has multi CSC, root, and a bunch of other goodies!)
2) Extract the System.img.ext4 zip and place that actual "system.img.ext4" onto the Internal SD Card (might work from external but some users have reported issues with chainfires root.zip and FF with external sd cards, this is not a fault of the SamPWND files/process.)
3) Place the entire Add CSC Systemroot zip onto Internal or Externdal SD Card (THIS FILE DOES NOT NEED TO BE UNZIPPED, THROW THE WHOLE ZIP FILE ONTO SD CARD OR INTERNAL)
4) Open Flashfire and grant it root when it prompts you. IF FLASHFIRE IS NOT LOADING FILES AND YOU JUST SEE A CIRCLE OR LIKE ITS CONSTANTLY LOADING, PUT THE PHONE IN AIRPLANE MODE AND THEN GO BACK INTO FLASHFIRE AND THE FILES SHOULD NOW APPEAR.
5) Press the + sign and select "Flash Firmware Package" & navigate to where you placed the system.img.ext4 and select it
6) Press the + sign and select "Flash ZIP or OTA" & navigate to where you placed the Add CSC Systemroot zip and select it, select Mount System as r/w
7) Press the + sign and select "Wipe" and select System data, 3rd party apps, Dalvik cache, Cache partiton, Cache Partiton format
8) Now, long press on "Wipe" and make sure it is on the top by dragging it. The order should be Wipe, Flash Firmware Package & finally Flash ZIP or OTA
9) Make sure the "Everoot" is disabled!
10) Flash away!
If you followed all of PART 1, then followed all of PART 2, then you will be updated to QD2, rooted with busybox (and have some other goodies) and the phone will be running great! Root will be stable and snappy as ever. Adaway, Root Checker, V4A etc. etc. are now all possible.

haha but we know it wouldnt be possible without you man

Dam it, if I wasnt drunk, and tired, I eould vet myself out of bed and do this now, lol. Thanks for all your hard work.
One thing i would suggest would be to either put the commands that need to be typed in as bold face type or im not sure if its possible on here, as im on my phone atm, but there are Code/code tags avaiable that will make them easier to copy and paste.
Again, thanks for this......I did not think it was going to be possible. This will be my morning present when i wake up, feels like Xmas.......

You guys should have gotten some sleep you may need it after this weekend.

What a nice thing to wake up to when I'm getting ready to head to work at 530 in the morning lol. Can't wait to give this a shot once I get off work 12 hours later. Thanks for everything devs.

S8 thread will be posted tomorrow, too late to do it tonight

You guys are the ****. Thanks for all of your hard work.

Just want to know if Knox will be triggered or not? Please also add this to the first post [emoji397]

Where's the best place to get the stock firmware we might need just in case? As far as best download speed etc.

Wow,. I honestly didn't think it was possible. Amazing accomplishment ellwigy.

Also do we need to back up our EFS/Imei stuff? I know its recommended when flashing roms in recovery but our bootloader is locked.... Is there a way to back up without root?
Edit* I asked about the backup before in a previous thread but didn't get an answer.... Sorry to ask again

And this will work with Sprint S8+ Correct? Lastly, since the latest update which included Sprint LTE Plus calling. We will still manage to have that feature after root right? Because boy do I enjoy being able to browse the internet and being on a call at the same time again lol

If you have the system.img for the latest update then correct, if not and you want those features with root you will have to download the AP and CSC from thw firmware you want

Pixel Look Alike Setup Guide Galaxy S7

I AM NOT A DEVELOPER, I in no way claim to have made any of this myself, I'm just here to say how I manage to get as close to having Pixel software on my Galaxy S7 G930V as possible.
Basically I'll divide this into three main areas. ROM, Add-on Mods, and Apps.
Read All the way through before starting so as to not miss anything.
Also the add-on mods are installed at the same time as the ROM. That way you keep safety net and what not.
Lets start with the ROM, I am using Ufirm_QE2_Hybrid_Nougat_Rom_FlashFire_Install Status Official For VZW S7FLAT by CVertigo1 / jrkruse
jrkruse said:
Latest Ufirm QE2 Nougat Firmware For The S7 Flat Only
This well give you a Customizable NonRooted Rom that uses stock boot.img not the eng boot image so there is no lag and it will pass safetynet checks and samsung pay will work
Give this guy @umaro some thanks he worked on this until it became reality even when I gave up​
These first 2 step must be done first unless you are on my previous version of this rom or my carrier specific rom that do not have root or if your unsure just do this first
This Will Wipe Your Phone
1. Unzip UFIRM_G930_Odin_Firmware.zip and flash all files in odin
2. Go through setup ignore invalid sim message and skip adding accounts
3. Go to Step 3 Below
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
To Flash Files in Odin simply launch Odin (Downloads later)
click on each button (Labeled BL, AP, etc.) and select their respective files that were extracted from the archive.
Each respective file's label has each corresponding label. (AP at the beginning of the file name, means put it in AP slot)
Then boot phone into download mode, press home, download, and volume down keys all simultaneously.
Connect it to computer and press the begin button in Odin.
jrkruse said:
If you are on one of my previous version of this rom or my carrier specific rom
1. Unzip UFIRM_G930_Odin_Firmware.zip
2. Use odin to flash BL and CP
3. Unzip ADB_Root_G930U_QE2Files.zip
4. Flash EngBoot image with odin
5. Root Phone. I'm not going to have half a page about rooting there is an entire rooting thread here. The Eng Boot.img can be found in the UFIRM_QD2_Modified_Nougat_Firmware Folder
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Rooting is very simple for this phone once the Eng Kernel has been flashed.
Here is @jrkruse's Guide:

3. Unzip the Nougat_S7_Root_2_82_All_Carriers_V2.zip and run root.bat from your PC. If you Have Windows 10 from inside the Nougat_S7_Root_2_82_All_Carriers_V2 folder you may need press and hold shift and right click and click open command window here from the dialog box then in command prompt type name of the root bat you want to run and hit enter
4. This will install root when done phone will reboot
5. The process wipes dalvik cache so it will take a few minutes to reboot
6. If having problems getting Grant SuperSU dialog to come up you can delete the SuperSU app and root will be granted instantly to all root request
Give phone a few min to settle open developer options set animation scales .05 and others to .05

Removed Every thing except Samsung TTS and Samsung Gallary / Camera (you can remove if you prefer to use google camera, DO NOT REMOVE if you plan on using zero camera.)
I don't use the google camera because on my S7 the video records the audio out of sync with the video, I haven't figured out how to fix it. but zero camera allows me to use Photos app instead of gallary so.... yea. (Requires a purchase of the root app for alt gallery)
That's about it for the ROM install.
**note these were installed in FlashFire with the ROM so as to pass safty net.
Now here are the add-on mods I used:
Open-GApps - to get pixel icons, and connectivity service
Android 8 Emojis
iYTB Vanced (Modded YouTube)
Google Lens
Zero Camera Mod
Copy those mods onto internal storage with the ROM install and add them into FlashFire during the ROM install. Place them after the ROM zip, but before the Format Cache / Wipe System less Super SU.

THANKS A TON DEVS!!!! :good: :laugh: :good:
Let me know if anybody has anything else they have done to get this close!

I appreciate you putting all the links and mods into the same place. I have never flashed using FlashFire before (on a G930V) and this was an excellent guide for me.
My only trip up was I didn't understand the language about Camera/Google Camera/Zero Camera Mod and I tried installing the zero mod while debloating the camera off. So I will have to go back and do that.
I skipped the "flashables" youtube, emoji, lens but may end up going back for those.
Thanks again.

Update: I found a cool way to have the new Google now page in the launcher.
Launcher App:
First is the actual app. Typicaly I would just say use Nova but on the pixel launcher the Google Now page looks different than on other third party apps. I wanted this look, so here is how I found a way to get that new Google Now pag to appear on other launchers.
Step one, if you installed Google lens mod, you should be able to get the pixel launcher from the play store, if not get it from XDA labs or APK mirror. Set Google. Set it as your default launcher. Next you will need any third party launcher and Tasker. I'm using Lawn chair Launcher. (On Google play). Use button mapper pro to map pressing the home button to launch third party app. Go into Tasker and make a task, so that whenever Google pixel launcher is launched, open third party launcher. As long as the pixel launcher is set as your default, the new Google now page will appear in apps like Nova and action launcher.

I'm *loving* this so far. Thanks to you and the devs that have worked on each stage of this.
I'm doing:
Verizon Stock
No UI Mods
No Ad Blocking
Pixel Animation
"PlayStore" Edition (not BS free, not manual)
Flashing GApps
Flashing Emoji
My only issue is like you described with the camera. It was working initially and then it updated and the update is causing problems. Also, the double home button launch doesn't work without a 3rd party app (and with screen off with no root).
So I can either figure out a way to always ignore camera app update and use a 3rd party app for launch (screen on only)
or
Will the S8 camera option include the gallery app and not be cleared by the "PlayStore" option?
