19Root Method For S8/S8+ And Note 8 Series U/U1/W Series Phones Rev8 BootloaderThis may brick your device there is a problem especially with s8 and note 8 models where the tz partition becomes corrupted and on some occasions after flashing combination firmware your phone will become bricked and as of now there is no way to fix it. There is no way to predict if it will happen. It doesn’t seem too happen very often on s8+ but it does occasionally happen on the other 2 models so do this at your own risk. I would say it probably happens 10 percent of the time on s8 and note 8 especially when on bit 6 or higher firmwares. S8+ it rarely happens too but it still may. If you take the risk and it happens do not pm me asking how to fix it as of time I posted this there is no way to fix it
OEM Toggle Does Nothing On US Model Phones
You will most likely need a USB 2 mini hub for Odin to work if using windows 8 or higher. I would temporarily disable windows defender or antivirus software while performing the procedure with your computer.
You cannot have root on any rom except a nougat rom also flashing custom boot images cannot be done or using systemless magisk. Hiding root or running modules cannot be done. There is no oem unlock and even if there is you cannot unlock your bootloaders or run any aosp based roms.
You can be on any firmware to achieve safestrap but to run a rooted rom you will be limited to using a special nougat android 7 rom. You can have safestrap on pie android 9 which gives you some ability to modify system files flash zips etc and have access too data and other partitions that are normally blocked but you can not run root on android 9 because root on android 9 requires a modified boot image

Directions
1. Download files and unzip files use modded odin to flash combo firmware to phone.
2. If you have never rooted device before uncheck auto reboot in odin and after flash manually reboot phone back too download mode this should help prevent bricking
3. Reflash combo firmware again this time you can let phone auto reboot
4. once phone is boot and connected to phone run the safetrap bat file from the Safestrap 8 Series folder
5. Phone will reboot twice when done and you will have safestrap installed
6. From here you will copy either a nougat or pie system image to your phone which will be flashed in safestrap.
7. If flashing a nougat system you will also need too flash a root zip too root the rom.
8. When done flashing images in safestrap reboot too download mode to flash appropriate BL files depending on if you are running nougat or pie rom. When booting pie rom with safestrap for first time after you flash BL leave safestrap files you will have too reboot too stock recovery wipe cache then reboot normally
9. You can enter safestrap anytime on nougat by simply reboot phone and on safestrap splash screen choose too enter safestrap.
10. If flashing pie rom on initial flash of pie system image in sfestrap you need to wipe data in safestrap reboot too download and flash BL leave safestrap file and the phone will need too rebooted from download mode too stock recovery after the BL leave safestrap files are flashed you can either do this manually or flash the force reboot cache with the BL leave safestrap files too boot too stock recovery then wipe cache in stock recovery and reboot normally. Rebooting too stock recovery only needs to be done on initial pie system image flash. Rebooting back too safe strap and leaving will only require flashing BL leave safestrap files.
10. To enter safestrap on pie rom you will need too reboot too download mode and flash BL file to enter safestrap in odin and when phone reboots it will reboot directly too safestrap. To leave safestrap and return too rom reboot too download mode and flash BL file too leave safestrap
