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

[anakara]

Dear friends and readers of this thread

I started to work on oreo recently and read about your comments that the current twrp isn't compatible with oreo.

I got bored at university so I'm releasing the twrp now. I can't test it since I don't have my n8 with me, please let me know if everything works as expected :good:

Hence I decided (again) to build my own twrp version with the latest kernel sources (oreo) and the latest TWRP sources. So we got everything up to date! :fingers-crossed:

The update to oreo is the only change, I haven't changed anything else apart from this.

I tested the updated one, worked perfectly fine for me. Data is mountable with Oreo.

New TWRP Version SDCard very slow
TWRP 3.2.1.0 21MB/s
New TWRP 3.2.1.2 13MB/s

I can confirm & noticed that too but didn't want to say anything out of respect to the dev as he is a good one.

Ive successfully installed TWRP on my system. However I was unable to install TWRP 3.1.10 due to a binary error during the flash sequence with ODIN.. TWRP 3.2.10 flashed correctly.

Everything is still all stock under TW Oreo. What would you recommend to be the best rooting method, Magisk or SU? Ive always used SU in all my previous Samsung devices and never used Magisk before. I have no idea what I should do and worry to screw-up the new phone I just buy

Also, after the TWRP install, I get a message that no system updates are allowed because "the system has been modified in an unauthorized way". Is this normal or/and how to go around it?

Thanks a lot for the advice

This is normal because you flashed something that is not signed by samsung. If you want OTA updates, flash stock firmware via odin.
If you want to root I suggest SuperSU because at my experience at magisk, root always disappears until next reboot. Use SuperSU until this problem with Magisk is fixed.
Edit: It's Magisk problem, not TWRP problem or Note 8 problem.

Understood, thanks a lot for the info. The latest SU V2.82 is already one year old, and I found 2 variants with seemingly the same build but different file sizes, SR4-SuperSU-v2.82 and SuperSU-v2.82-201705271822. Not sure which would be better for the Note 8 but I assume either one should work.

Thanks again

Anyone else noticed the short freeze after getting in the main menu? It hangs about 1-2s and ignores every input. Just wondering.

I've noticed, it is very annoying,in fact it is also present in version 3.2.1-0 for Oereo.I doubt someone's gonna look on that matter.

Thankyou so much for this .. no more installing data fix

 

[Xenos7]

What about flashing system.img?
Is that coming?
Currently you can only flash to recovery and boot partition.

Oh come on Guys... ? Please, don't make mountains out of the molehill... Just be happy that someone spend a lot of private time to make it work (probably even few people). And U are pointing 2-3 secs U 'have to wait'. Move back to stocks - no wait time then.

Thx to @geiti94 , @Tkkg1994 and all other Devs putting their efforts and time?

Guides:
Notice: It may wipe all your data including those in internal storage.

Part 1 - HOW-TO FLASH TWRP:
1. In your ROM, go to Settings -> About device. Tap 7 times on Build number to enable Developer options.
2. Go to Settings -> Developer options and enable OEM Unlock option.
3. Download and Install Samsung Mobile Phones Drivers.
- Option 1: Download and Install Smart Switch for PC.
- Option 2: Download and Install standalone driver package.
4. Download and extract Odin (Samsung's Flash Tool) to your computer.
5. Download a .tar image of TWRP.
6. Reboot your device to download mode.
- Hold [VOLUME DOWN] + [BIXBY] + [POWER] for approx. 15 seconds.
- Read the warning carefully.
- If you agree, press [VOLUME UP] to get into Download mode. If you don't agree, STOP.
7. Open Odin and place that TWRP tar file in the [AP] slot.
8. Connect your phone.
9. Hold [VOLUME UP] + [BIXBY] + [POWER] on your phone and then press start on Odin.
10. Wait for the phone to reboot. DO NOT release [VOLUME UP] + [BIXBY] + [POWER] or you may not reboot into TWRP.

Part 2 - HOW-TO INITIALIZE TWRP: (for new phones)
1. If you completed Part 1 successfully, you should be in TWRP now. At this point, you will reach the screen asking you if you want to allow system modifications.
2. Select "Keep /system RO". (Don't swipe right or you may not be able to boot into system if you failed to complete next steps. However, you can swipe right to allow modifications if you are confident that you can complete next steps.)
3. Go to "Wipe" menu of TWRP and you will find "Format Data". Press "Format Data" and type "yes" to continue.
4. Go to "Reboot" menu and Press "Recovery" to reboot TWRP.
5. Download the latest dm-verity and force encryption disabler zip on your computer.
6. Transfer the zip to your phone.
- Option 1: MTP: Connect your phone with computer and just copy the zip to internal storage. (similar to how you transfer files when in system.) (for the moment not working)
- Option 2: ADB: Connect your phone with computer and run command "adb push /path/to/zip /sdcard/". (for the moment not working)
- Option 3: External SD: Copy the zip to an external SD and then insert the card to your phone.
7. Go to "Install" menu of TWRP and flash the zip.

TWRP is initialized and fully functional at this stage. Now you can either reboot into system or root, flash custom ROMs via TWRP.

Part 3 - HOW-TO ROOT:
1. Download the flashable zip.
- Option 1: Magisk
- Option 2: SuperSU (untested)
2. Transfer the zip to your phone.
3. Go to "Install" menu of TWRP and flash the zip.

Part 3a - HOW-TO FLASH CUSTOM ROMS:
1. Download the flashable zip.
2. Transfer the zip to your phone.
3. Go to "Install" menu of TWRP and flash the zip.
Simple.

I cannot find enable OEM Unlock option in Dev mode

I cannot find enable OEM Unlock option in Dev mode

And you have exynos?

sent from my Exynos S9 plus, Pixel 2 XL or Note FE

 

[sonhy]

I think it would be super helpful to add to the instructions that, if you have the OEM Unlock issue that you always flash the RMM-State_Bypass_Mesa_v?.zip every time after a rom flash update. just saves one from having to download another stock rom and flash that to get rid of the unofficial binaries error when trying to boot.

help!

I get an invalid binary error, someone else happens? Note 8 sm-n950f
