[RECOVERY][UNOFFICIAL] TWRP for Galaxy Note 8 (Exynos) V3

[S5Sickness]

You need OEM unlock enabled to flash any custom binaries so no, unfortunately you have to wait.

Ok then.. thanks I guess I will wait..

To avoid this next time, be sure to flash the RMM state fix anytime you flash a new rom before booting to the rom.

Thank you

Thanks a lot, I am finally getting to a place where I am happy modding.

It all starts with Odin and TWRP :laugh:.

What do you mean? If you have Exynos model everything is here for you to root.

I actually gave up on the idea of ever rooting this phone hence i never looked or followed any posts to guide me on how to root my note 8 Exynos model. If you could be so kind to post step by step a way to root this phone with no OEM available? SM-N950F model. Im not sure whether my country South Africa plays a factor when trying to root my phone. But If these information is what you need, its all here. thanking you in advance. Hopefully after 7 months you might be able to set me free.

Oi I just read 3 posts prior to this post on this thread still nowhere with the "No OEM" issue. Think ima come back 5 months from now. Hopefully then it will look a bit more positive. Oi.
Sad story... shiff-sniff

Dual mod speakers and V4A is not enough

Some on needs to fix the problem with Dolby not working or I will never use Oreo never again this sucks Since Root started I always use Sound Mods on any Android Version this is the first time I ever see something like this problem happens on any Oreo Rom for Note 8 this sucks eventually some one. Could come up for a fix for this Having No Dolby Sucks Smh

If your OEM unlock toggle has not appeared after this long, coming back here at a later time isn't going to matter. It's unrelated to TWRP, there's no "fix" in TWRP that will allow you to root if your OEM unlock toggle never appears. There's no method to root with the OEM unlock toggle, you need OEM unlock in order to flash TWRP & root.

OEM unlock has to do with your RMM state. Check out the OEM lock issue threads. I'm not sure exactly how to get it to appear as I don't have the issue on my phone. It may be something like reflashing your stock fw or another region fw to reset your counter so it appears after 7days. If it hasn't appeared in 7 months it probably will never show up by simply just waiting longer.

Yeah well I can understand your sorrow but all this has nothing with TWRP, won't do any good posting about it in a TWRP thread. Try the discussions section, you may get better exposure over there. But in reality you just gotta wait. There are still many things that are not Oreo compatible yet. One of the reasons why I don't care for Oreo & keep going back to Nougat. Need to give devs time to figure it all out.

Thanks for your swift reply. I gotta admit it appeared once only. And i set to unlock and I went all the way to fashing but it was unsuccessful. Thereafter I coudnt go back to flashing anything. Some later I tried again and for some reason the phone showed OEM is already unlocked but all the TWRP versions which was available at that time just would not take upto V3. It kept on saying incorrect file or something to that effect. Cant remember exactly. Quite frankly I really got tired the numerous times my phone reset. It was practically almost daily then and i felt I was not moving forward and I couldn't enjoy my expensive phone with all its features hence I stopped trying and made do with the mon-rooted apps available. Since the S9 is out Im getting an itch again.

I'm sure you are familiar with this thread but take a look at this post... and well the entire thread really. In there is info on how to make you OEM unlock appear. Then if/when you do decide to install TWRP/root, be sure to flash the RMM fix so you don't loose OEM unlock.

Thank but yes thats about the only 2 accounts I always add with my initial set-up. And the OEM didn't appear after 7 days but a few weeks after my setup and also after a few failed attempts to root my phone. It appeared once and never again. And what is the RMM fix?

And trust me when I say when I eventually decided to hold off on this obsession to root my phone, i realised I when I decided to move all my downloads wrt this issue, i downloaded a total almost close to a 100gig of software. That was the kind of obsession I had. Im over it and accept it will maybe happen after the next few new models hit the market.

What do the red letters say?

First time I've ever heard that! I specifically avoided buying a T-Mobile variant to get the international Exynos. But I guess it is true that if you bought a US phone you wouldn't have these issues cause you wouldn't even be able to install TWRP. :laugh: So long as Samsung Exynos variants have unlocked bootloaders, I will never buy a US Snapdragon!

it says only official binarys can be flashed

 

[force70]

it says only official binarys can be flashed

Did u try and flash without OEM unlock even there and turned on?

sent from my Pixel 2 XL or Note FE

 

[shouren04]

That's due to RMM state, which means you lost OEM unlock again, which means unfortunately you'll have to wait 7 days again.

In the other TWRP thread, you asked about the button trick. Yes, need to do that & you need to flash RMM fix also.

When OEM unlock comes back, flash the new TWRP in Odin with the button trick. This is required so it reboots directly to TWRP (if you boot to system you'll get screwed again). While in TWRP format data (type yes), then go to reboot menu & reboot back to recovery/TWRP. Now you can flash custom ROM, root, & RMM fix. If keeping stock rom, flash root, then flash RMM fix. Then you can finally reboot to system.

Since you have the OEM lock issue, you ALWAYS need to flash RMM fix to prevent the official binaries error. Remember, anytime you flash a rom in TWRP, always flash RMM fix right after the rom before booting to system. Most custom roms include the RMM fix now but just play it safe and flash RMM fix anyway. That is the key to avoid the official binaries error.

what is the RMM fix?

RMM is Samsung Remote Mobile Manager feature. It's said to be an anti-theft measure & is the cause for the OEM lock/7 day issue. Blackmesa created a flashable zip to remove the feature, aka RMM state fix.

I no sense in repeating so look at my post above. If you follow that method, you should finally be able to root your phone successfully. All that info is in the thread I linked earlier but I know the thread is very long now & tough to search.

And if you meant waiting to get a new phone to root. Well if going with Samsung again, unfortunately this RMM state thing is not going away. The new phone will have the feature also but not all will be affected. Certain variants like the N from Korea are not affected as well as F variants from certain regions that have region lock will not be affected after the region lock is lifted. For example my F is a region locked model from the UK. Seller lifted the region lock while using the phone with a UK sim while still in the UK. My phone does not have the OEM lock issue.
