No support SINGLE-SKU
Supported API: 3
E: ensure_path_unmounted failed to unmount /efs (Device or resource busy)

# Manual Mode v1.0.0#
E:ensure_path_unmounted failed to unmount /efs (Device or resource busy)

    Flash Firmware if you want to update to the latest in appropriate Odin slots.
    If you want to stay on current choose the stand Alone AIO and flash in Userdata slot

    Phone will reboot to setup

    Instructions For U1 Firmware
    U1 firmware you need to install the firmware first without using the AIO make sure sim you are using is in the phone. Once phone is booted connect to internet go through setup the reboot back to download mode and flash the stand alone AIO by itself in odin. If you dont do this you will get service provider update and wont be able to git rid of it

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

    This method only gives you root on Nougat if you want to root Pie you must use and pay for above method!!
    One 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 oakieville209@gmail.com

    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!

    You Must Start From Stock U Firmware. IT Seems To Be The Less Likely To Brick Your Device As Explained In The Disclaimer!

    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
