[solved] Few concerns before flashing ROM - Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers

Hello everyone,
I want to flash HadesROMv3 on my GalaxyS8 Exynos which is currently on OneUI 1.0 / android 9 with april 2021 security patch (oddly I haven't get the november 2021 patch).
But I have never done such a thing before and even after going through a lot of threads here on XDA and on other websites I still have a few concerns about the process (English isn't my native language so it's not always easy to gather information here and there).
I will recap here what I understand I have to do :
- Activate OEM Unlock + USB Debugging, reboot in download mode.
- Flash TWRP with Odin.
- Boot in TWRP, format data.
- Install HadesROM in TWRP.
- Setup and boot.
For the few steps above I know how to do them but here are my concerns :
1) What is the thing with RMM/KG State Prenormal ? I read a lot about it but when I go into Download Mode I have nothing that looks like RMM/KG State saying "Checking", "Prenormal" or I don't know what (see picture below). Does that mean that I won't have any problem regarding this issue and I don't have to worry about it ?

"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
(edit : i forgot to activate OEM unlock before doing the above picture but when I do so it only change "FRP Lock" and "OEM Lock" to "off")
2) Do I need to flash no-verity-opt-encrypt ? It looks like yes according to what I read on XDA but I haven't seen any tutorial that says anything about that.
3) Do I need to flash RMM-State_Bypass (link) ? Since I'm not having "prenormal issue" and since RMM Bypass seems to be included in Hades Rom I would say that I don't need to flash it but I'm not sure.
4) If I indeed have to flash one or both of the above, when do I need to do so in the process ? And which one before the other ?
5) Do I need to do anything to be able to use banking apps (something about SafetyNet) or is it okay since I'm only flashing a ROM and not rooting my device ?
Thanks in advance !
And sorry if answers to these questions are easily findable, I read a lot and couldn't find 100% trustable answers...

I also posted this on reddit and I got a very complete answer.
Here it is below, in case anyone is interested.

2. no-verity-opt-encrypt is 2 in 1
- disable dm-verity
- disable forced encryption
"This device uses dm-verity!
This means that swiping to allow system modifications will prevent you from being able to boot if you are using the stock kernel. In order to bypass dm-verity's boot prevention, you will have to install a kernel that has dm-verity disabled in the fstab."
https://twrp.me/samsung/samsunggalaxys8.html
that's what this zip does. it disables dm-verity in the fstab (if partition is rw). if you ignore this warning, OneUI won't boot anymore just because TWRP is installed. unrelated to rooting. does not concern custom ROMs.
furthermore TWRP does not support samsung encryption. therefore TWRP backup feature (main purpose of TWRP) only available if unencrypted. but encryption is enforced on boot. this zip disables the enforcement. it does not actually unencrypt anything, this is still your own task (requires formatting)

Thanks for your precisions !
To be sure I have correctly understood : "does not concern custom ROMs" means that I don't need to flash it if I'm installing a custom rom right ?
edit : I want to do a backup before installing the rom so I'll need to flash it (correct?).

you can't backup from TWRP because userdata partition is encrypted

Yes so in order to do a backup I need to flash no-verity-opt-encrypt before backing up ?

I don't understand. removing encryption requires formatting userdata partition (factory reset) - backup of empty partition is pointless

Oh okay I'm sorry I think I haven't really understood...
So just one simple question : do I need to install no-verity-opt-encrypt in order to flash HadesRom, yes or no ?

No, HadesRom is prepatched against both

Okay, thanks again !

Root issue

Hello, I have a root issue. I have an Axon 7 2017G V1.2.0B08 with unlocked bootloader and TWRP. Anyway, when I try to flash SuperSU (2.82), it does not give to me the root access. I mean, when I open the app of SuperSu, it alert to me "Root undetected". Can you help me?
Thanks,
youngz
Try Magisk 14

Version 2.82 is crap. Users of my toolkit had bootloops because of it. Use 2.79 instead.
Hi, I tried to flash supersu 2.79 and the result is the same.
In order to flash magisk 14, I have to do some particular procedure o I have to just flash it?
Edit: furthermore, I want to modify the host file in system partition. But if I use only magistik, I suppose to be not able to modify that partition.

Just wipe system, reflash your ROM and then flash Magisk. I didn't understand what you said about the 'host file', if you mean that you wanna use adaway then yes you should be able to use it
Yes, I means adaway. Thanks for your reply! Another information. I have to wipe also the data partition? It will be boring install again all my apps, SMS, and stuffs..

Your phone is encrypted if you didn't install magisk or supersu. If you want to install a new ROM you will have to format data (which means losing the internal storage too). But you don't need to wipe anything to instal Magisk. Just a suggestion, make a system backup
Thank you for your suggestions. I had reinstalled the system and I flash magisk 14. Anyway, now, when I open the application and I start the check, the app return:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",

Furthermore, when I try to install some software, it return an error about the partition mount:
Have you any solution about these problems?

Alright. What did you do to install the system again with magisk? Tell me step by step
Ok, my steps:
1) Wipe caches, system, and data with twrp
2) flash the bootstack
3) flash the rom
4) flash magisk 14
5) flash again twrp (as precaution)
6) boot the os and config it
7) update magisk app mannualy with the last version
I also use a command (reboot disemmcwp) from twrp shell to enable the writing on system partition but the result was the same.
Maybe I have a solution (maybe). In twrp, I set the system partition as read only. Anyway, could I remove it without risk (as an overwriting of recovery or bootloader)?
Thank you.

How to unlock the bootloader M10? is It enough by enabled OEM unlock option?

help me, son bricked he's phone.

Hi Guys,
My son has a MI9T.
Hé wanted to flash a custom rom the day after he got this phone from me (why i dont know) but he never did it before. And i aM no expert either.
Hé installed a few custom kernals, and roms and TWRP'S and dont actually know what hé is dooing.
But the phone is stuck in startup screen with Every rom he installed so far.
Hé did no backups from the working device either........???
The phone have working TWRP now and unlocked bootloader.
i tried to do the Xiaomi recovery (Miflashtool) but wont work either cuz of the fault:
Anti Rollback protection and i cant find a right firmware for IT.
The anti rollback protection is on 1 on this phone.
Can Any one help me out maybe?
or is the phone already to throw away?
Hi. The anti-rollback protection exists purely in a file in the fastboot image. Here is a tutorial on how to avoid triggering it on our device:
https://telegra.ph/Fix-fastboot-flashing-problems-09-20
The reason that no roms he tried are booting is most likely that on this device he has to wipe data + internal storage after flashing or it will most likely not boot.

Download the latest fastboot rom for your device. Extract it and open the flash_all.bat file with Notepad++. Remove all the lines before "fastboot% erase.." line. Then run the bat file.

thx for reaction
i deleted lines and made sure that fastbootlines start on 1st line now
but now its says flash crclist error.
Try to Flash fastboot rom from EDL mode... You have unlocked bl, download this tool
https://github.com/Saki-EU/XiaomiAD...ad/6.6.2/XiaomiADBFastbootTools-6.6.2-Win.zip
Put phone with this tool in EDL mode and try to flash fastboot rom.

Move the fastboot rom folder (with the modified bat file) to C:/. Then try flashing again with miflashtool.
nothing worked for me. tried all the above and many other tricks but no.

OK! Let's try something different. First of all, the phone is not dead, so, don't worry. We just have to figure it out.
Enter TWRP, format DATA, tipe Yes (it's not wipe, it's format data).
Just to be sure, flash the latest TWRP https://dl.twrp.me/davinci/twrp-3.4.0-0-davinci.img
Since you formated data, you will have no files on your phone (be shure of that, if it isn't empty, you haven't formated data), you have to tranfer this TWRP from the computer or OTG.
After flashing TWRP, reboot to recovery. Now, let's flash some stable rom. Try this: https://sourceforge.net/projects/xi...K20MI9T_V12.0.4.0.QFJCNXM_v12-10.zip/download
Flash only the rom (no magisk, nothing). Reboot! Now, wait patiently. The first boot will take time (from 5 to 10 minutes).
Then, give us feedback. Ground your son until the weekend. Good luck, mate!
Hi
Do you find solutions???
used the above steps except edl mode and was able to sucessfully flash fastboot rom without crc list error

[HELP] TWRP, Root, & Custom ROM

Sorry for the post, my question didn't really get answered on the General Q&A Nood Friendly Thread:
Xenophoresis said:
I have Android 9 and August 1, 2020 security patch on it (YouTube was mentioning security patches? dunno why).
I would like TWRP and a future goal of changing to Lineage OS/Tissot.
Which rooting guide can I follow?
( I got confused with the available threads.)
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
After posting, I tried follow this guide thread
I was able to do step 1 which is to unlock but, I don't know if I should still be flashing a Stock Fastboot ROM?
Also there is no link for TWRP, or which version of TWRP I should get...
The last time I rooted something was a Galaxy Note 2 back in 2012-ish so my relevant knowledge is definitely expired.
Please give me a lead on where to find the correct TWRP file and further instructions.
you want step by step guide to flash custom rom?
- You have unlocked bootloader?
- what OS version you are on at the moment ?
Dont worry i will help you in best of my knowledge i have been through what you are going after some time i learned answer question and we will begin
Yes, my bootloader is already unlocked and fastboot was enabled.
OS is stock Android 9, Aug 2020 security patch:

I was hoping to get instructions or help in English; I've watched his YouTube tutorial in Indian but I was afraid that I'd do something wrong because I didn't understand what he said.
You can follow the instructions provided for LOS:
https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/tissot/install
Simply exchange the LOS installing part with the ROM of your choice.

Thank you, I'm done with the custom rom and root
Sorry for late reply i couldn't login because of xda forum migration process
steps i used:
- install Twrp (download latest version details below)
- download custom rom and gapps (and transfer it into sdcard or internal storage or your phone)
- download Adb/fastboot tool and drivers (download it in windows pc install it details below)
- Install Twrp (download it from https://dl.twrp.me/tissot/) there are 2 files .zip and .img you would need fastboot and adb drivers https://androiddatahost.com/uq6us install adb minimal in location where of your choice copy twrpX.XXXX.img file beside adb/fastboot.exe , from start menu open command prompt right click run as administrator locate to adb/fastboot folder .
Power off your mi a1 when its powerd off hold down volume down and power button until you see fastboot mode on the phone connect it to pc wait for drivers to install let me know if you need in this regard. Inside command prompt run " fastboot devices " if you see device with bunch of numbers below than it means your phone is connected and drivers are working than enter this command " fastboot boot twrpXX.XXXX.img " it will take no more than 5 seconds your phone will turn on into twrp recovery there you can copy twrpxx.xxx.zip file to your internal storage or sd card flash it when its done restart -> Recovery.
Warning: After flashing twrp zip dont restart to system if you do your phone will show you message that phone has been destroyed so dont restart .
- Installing custom roms: download custom rom of your choice transfer it into internal or sd card from twrp install-locate to custom rom .zip file and flash it also keep in mind lots of roms didn't include gapps so you have to download it from opengapps(for android 8-10) and nikgapps(android 11). Flash gapps . Keep in mind after installing custom roms you will lose twrp recovery so if you want twrp at this stage go ahead and install it
- If you want root access download and flash magisk
Its always good practice to keep stock rom and xiaomi flash tool with you just in case if something goes wrong you can reflash stock rom and boot normally.
Let me know if you need help
Cheers

Not sure how or why, either.
I haven't gotten the Dream, yet, so to be clear: the phone is rootable, bootloader unlockable, and has custom ROMs? And still works on Cricket?
If so, that's amazing for an entry-level "free" phone from an MVNO!

Yes to everything you said above. I'm running an android 12 gsi rom as my daily.
So sorry, I forgot about locking the bootloader that'll cause the "no os" message when I was trying to reset it to stock to sell.
What can I do to get it to boot into the OS again? The bootloader is locked, so I couldn't do most of what people said since it required flashing. I did download this tool and fired it up in Linux. Fastboot detects the phone, but setting up the mtk client resets in "missing setup.py" and using the "unbrick menu" doesn't do anything. I am using the 0.02 files.
TIA

Hello, yeah, so I had gotten it to install, and I tried running both the shorter and the longer unbricking procedure, but there was no change and still gives me the no os message on bootup.
