the network connection problem has been resolved, tap the problem now I can't enter twrp mode from safetrapp. when I enter recovery mode, the twrp mode still doesn't appear
Maybe redownload the files from op especially the below file as it was updated a few days ago. Try enter recovery manually you probably can’t enter safestrap recovery through the safestrap control app because you forgot too flash a root zip. If that does work reflash combination firmware and reinstall safestrap with below file

in advance thank you for replying to me,
I've also flashed root with SU, but the twrp doesn't appear after I reboot.
ok I'll try, but do I have to repeat the steps from the beginning again?

Are you saying you can’t get into safestrap recovery? Open the safestrap control app and click reboot recovery

You cant use magisk on this device only the system magisk I posted but its not magisk as in the kind you can hide root or use modules its no more that supersu or any of the other system root zips I have posted they are all system root and its only thing that will work on this device plus it only works on nougat rom

i understand now, why can't i use magisk on this device.
but is there a suitable room or method for using magisk?

It tells you in OP that you can’t use custom boot images and magisk modifies your boot.img. Reading before you do something is always a good thing and if It says in OP and I tell you you can’t use regular magisk then your very next question shouldn’t be well is there a way too use magisk. Yes there is a way buy a phone that the bootloader can be unlocked.
 
Some of you guys wouldn't have all these issues if you just searched and read. Do you all just step by step everything before reading? I have zero ZERO issues with this guide I've done it about twice and to he honest there isn't any good reason to have a rooted nougat or a someone flashable pie. Pretty much everything you need root for on nougat you can do with goodlock on pie

    Guys, I am pretty new to this stuff. I tried to root my SM-950U US Verizon model using safestrap. GUI method did not work. It will always wait at the message saying that downloading combination file. Command line methods seemed to work as it did progress with the succesful status. But now m phone can not be switched on. Its not even charging. I am not sure if I missed any step inbeween. I tried pressing "power button + V up", "power button + V down", "power button+ bixby button + V up", "power button+ bixby button + V down" etc. Nothing helped. What can I do next?
    This is the Note 8 thread so do you have a note 8 or S8? because in your model description you dont say. Also try the cmdline method

    I was on the latest stock firmware. Bootloader version was v8 as far as I remember. Another update. When I hold volume up + power button, I horizontal line flashes and goes away instantly. So something seems to be happening. but phone is not switching on.
    just check back from time too time if there are ever files available I will pass them along to everyone

    Root Method For N8 U/U1/W Series Phones Rev8 Bootloader

    New 1 Click Method Brought To Everyone By oakieville He provide this free of charge so If you like maybe give him a little donation
    Paypal email is [email protected]

    Before Starting This Process Get A USB2 Mini Hub You Are Most Likely Going Too Need It. Do Not Come In Here And Post This Is Not Working Until You Have Tried It With The USB2 Mini Hub!

    Disclaimer Please Read!!

    This 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

    Please Read Notes

    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

    Anything here with a .7z extension will get unzipped before using
    Anything here with a .zip extension will get flashed a zip in safestrap
    Anything here with a .tar or .md5 gets flashed in odin
    Anything here with a .img extension gets flashed as image in safestrap

    You guys could try flashing the s8+ system image on the note 8 and see if that works. I know the note 8 system image will boot on the s8+ so it should work vice versa. Xposed works on the s8+

    It has the battery bug that only charges at 80% after installing the root

    If you look in the s8 threads I have a hack to pass the 80% charge limit It is not a bug It is a safety feature so you dont blow your fingers off
