Question Root - Samsung Galaxy Tab S8

I always root all my devices and I hope rooting will be the same as the Tab S7+ which I currently have.

This is the subforum for the Galaxy Tab S8.

I have ordered a Tab S8 Ultra, US version with the Qualcomm SM8450 Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 . It is supposed to arrive in 9 days. So yea, wanting root is for the Tab S8.

It doesnt have any support yet, or even a forum page as it hasnt even been released. This is the forum for the Tab S8, not the S8 ultra. post this in the S8 ultra forum once it releases.

I figured XDA would lump all the S8 Tablets together like they did with the S7 / S7 Plus.

Got my Tab S8 Ultra today. Used the Tab S7+ directions and I'm fully rooted. Going to use Swift Backup and restore all my apps from my S7+. All good to go. Yay.

Getting my S8 Tab Ultra today (unless FedEx screws me). Good to know we have working root (using the S7+ directions) so soon!

How did you root sir? Firmware isnt available yet?

Firmware was at least available for the US version.
I used Frija to download the firmware:

Ta but question - What was the Firmware model you entered?
SM-X90x? + CSC?
I cant find anything for it on Frija? Unless I am missing something. The actual rooting shouldnt be an issue

With SamFirm v0.5.0, I was at least able to get the (what SamFirm defaulted to) INU, and also XAR but still didn't find XAA or XAS. Maybe XAR is close enough? I've been out of the Samsung rooting game for ~8 years though, so I only tried what I could find to read about, but hopefully, I'm just missing some piece of information.
I couldn't find anything for SM-X900 in Frija v2.0.22044.1 - with XAA, XAS, XAR, or even INU. Says unable to connect to the server even though SamFirm is working fine.
My Wi-Fi Tab S8 Ultra won't arrive for quite a while, though, so I have time to learn and for others to report back what does and doesn't work.

Ta - See what you mean.
Im worried about putting the X900 boot.img.lz4 on my device incase it wont boot.
I have the X906B. 5G Edition.

I'd be worried too - I recommend holding off unless someone else has some better advice or the firmware shows up. I couldn't find anything for the X906B or even just as X906 with the various U.S. 5G major carrier CSCs, nor XAA, XAS, or XAR. Same with X900 as far as U.S. 5G major carrier CSCs.

Guess what... It booted with the X900 boot.img.lz4 on an X906B ¬_¬
And root is working with no issues to 4G or 5G Cellular...
Although I would advise waiting for official firmware for the model where possible.

If you're planning on using Termux to run Linux / X11 apps on your Tab S8 Ultra (via vnc or similar), you're going to need root due to this issue of Android 12 killing phantom processes https://gist.github.com/agnostic-ap...#how-to-disable-the-phantom-processes-killing
I'm going to hold off until we find a firmware that matches the device, personally, but thank all of you for your research and testing!
EDIT - Guide I used to install kali linux on my Tab S8 Ultra - https://technical-bot.blogspot.com/2021/10/how-to-install-kali-linux-on-android.html Note that I had to replace wget with curl in the .sh files because wget wasn't working correctly.

I found out that notifications for new Android updates won't come when rooted. But what about updates for accessories like the keyboard? I've seen some YouTube videos where they say that for the tab s7, when the new keyboard update came, people were prompted to update after attaching their keyboards.

I would expect Keyboard updates to happen without a problem. Once you are rooted it is up to you to keep your tablet updated ... or not. I usually update a couple of times a year.

sync spen notes with tab s3

I own a Tab s3 as well. Notes gets synced between the Note 8 and the tablet but if I try to edit in the tab a note written with the ... Note It says It cannot be done since they are two different versions or the app.
This is so unfortunate.
Anyone else? Any hint? Thank you.

Yeah in the same boat, this is actually very annoying. I can't seem to find a way around it.
I created a checklist in Samsung notes on my Tab S3, then edited the checklist on my new Samsung galaxy note 8, then when I go back to my Tab S3, it says I cannot edit it due to being edited in a different version of Samsung notes. I don't get how Samsung did not think of this.
I got the same issue but tried to find the same version of Samsung Notes (v2 and above) on Note 8 and installed it on my Tab S3. I can now edit my notes created on note 8....
How can I get this version?
I have Galaxy note 5 and tab s3 and I face the same problem although one month ago I could edit in both!

ar emoji note 8

coming to note 8?
I do not believe! Officially, you have to buy S9, but after Note8 gets Oreo, it can be done porting the S9 application on Note8.
Port
Is porting the app a relatively simple process? I have flashed my Note 8 to Oreo and I'm curious about porting the app.

No - Its not easy and the AR emoji was made specifically to work on the S9 - it probably will not work on the Note 8 at all...but maybe there is a developer who could work magic. Don't expect to see it for a long time
Must port with cameraS9.apk.I expect Note9.

There is a app that works like ar emoji...
Its really cool app....
And the app name is booble keaboard...you can get this app in playstore
i just finished with a new update of my note 8 with oreo .. but unfortunately it doesn't support ar emoji
So the Note 8 definitely will not get AR emoji? I just got a notice few months ago when I'm not really into the note series I really want the 9 plus I should have waited. The note is too big for me and I like the fingerprint sensor on the nine.

Officially from Samsung, probably not.
Have you held a S9+ yet? It is a tad bit smaller than the Note 8 but not by much, pretty much the same. If you want to swap to a S9+ only because of size, you might be disappointed. S9 would be a noticeable difference but hardware is not the same as S9+

Yes I've held the S9 Plus we originally had the 7 Edge and wanted to upgrade but the 8 plus wasn't enough difference for us to upgrade. And then we saw specs of the note we got it only because it had the dual cameras an the 6 gigs of RAM and was the latest phone out plus Samsung gave us 300 bucks for our 7 edges which is the price we paid for them from Sprint on a two-year contract. But I knew the nine would be out in a few months and I should have waited. But we didn't know that Samsung would still be given $300 out for the 7 Edge so that's another reason we did it that quickly. I'm not really into the note series I have small hands and I never use the pen I don't like where the fingerprint sensor is.
The S9 plus has dual speakers with Dolby Atmos better camera the intelligent scan and of course the AR Emoji which I believe would like to have. Was going to sell my note and get the S9 plus but we just got our phones a few months back and my husband doesn't want me doing that and spending the difference on an S9 Plus so I'm hoping the note get some of the features of the 9. We've only had our notes for like 3 months I paid 650 and got offered 550 but then I'd have to pay 850 for a S9 plus unlocked so it's probably not going to happen

I have seen numerous videos and articles that all seem unanimous in suggesting people not upgrade from the Note 8 to the S9. They actually feel that it’s almost a downgrade because the only thing you are really getting is a better chip and the speakers. The S9+ is different where you aren’t losing items that the Note 8 has other than the S Pen, which in my opinion is a big loss, but you are gaining potentially a camera that’s better in low light. However, again every suggestion I’ve seen was to not upgrade. There was one person who said if you really don’t use the S Pen then maybe. I also wanted to point out what the other individual was trying to point out and that’s the difference in size. It’s S9+ at 158 x 74 x 8.5 mm and the Note 8 at 163 x 75 x 8.6 mm. So the dimensions are almost identical. You may want to hold them both in your hand. One suggestion I have for you is something that happened to me personally. When I had the Note 2 and the Note 3 was coming out, I had a friend who asked me if I was going to upgrade. I said honestly, no. I don’t really draw and really don’t use or need the S Pen. He proceeded to show me just a few things that I was unaware of and then suggested I look at a particular site and YouTube video. I ended up buying the Note 3 and everyone except the Note 5 because it didn’t have the SD card. I was completely unaware of all the capabilities. So before you pass on the Note series as a whole, I would just suggest you really learn all of the capabilities of the S Pen.
The other thing that doesn’t help is Samsung got rid of the old S Note in favor of Samsung Notes which is an inferior app. The original S Note came with Action Memo, Photo Note, Easy Chart, Idea Sketch, Scrapbook, etc. In my opinion it’s probably the best app ever for the S Pen and maybe even the best app period. I was going to say if you’re interested there’s a way to get it installed that I learned from another Thread in this site. However, I just updated my phone to Oreo and it messed up some of it. It looks like we can’t get Easy Chart installed and Photo Note looks to only work in landscape. But this just happened over the weekend, so I’m hoping that someone will figure out a solution. If you do end up with the S9+, I hope you enjoy it!

There is a post here where some guys teach how to enable scrapbook and all features and apps. Also I modded all those apps to work on nougat but I don't try yet on oreo because i don't need it now. You should try it; I'm agree with you, s note had been the best Samsung app with all features.

It seems that on oreo is really not working... to bad.
Thanks everyone! For now I am keeping my Note 8. My husband says we just got these 3 months ago and if I sell my Note and only get 550 I still have to pay the difference for the unlocked s9 plus. I just wish we would of waited but we didn't know Samsung would still be giving $300 for the 7 edge. But I have small hands and I know the 9 plus is big too I like where the fingerprint sensor is. I don't use the pen or know about other Notes and what they had but I do love my Note it's fast and I have no complaints and will be getting Oreo on my unlocked in the next couple weeks. All carriers have it now I read. But yesterday I did play with an S9 that was in this little Best Buy mobile at the mall and I made a gallery of like 18 AR Emojis and sent them to myself than deleted them off the phone so I could see what it looked like. I've seen a 9 plus on display too and yesterday he said here hold an 8 plus same as 9 plus. I wouldn't do a regular 9 cause of hardware but I was also thinking I maybe should just wait for the S10 and maybe it will be 5G ready.
We have Sprint and got unlocked so we could switch to another carrier here soon. But thanks for now I will keep my Note if hubby would of let me I probably would of done it though and got a purple s9 plus but I am not unhappy and I love my Note works great. Just hope battery stays the same or is better once we get Oreo. Cause I always had to charge my 7 edge at work in the lower level with no signal my Note I never have to charge.

Rooting Galaxy S10 Questions

Please forgive me for asking a question that might have been asked a ton of times, but I can't find a clear answer to this.... Can I root my Galaxy S10? My model is the SM-G973U1 with the Qualcomm/Snapdragon SM8150 processor. I've read a ton of guides and there seems to be a ton of variants of the S10, so to clear up confusion, I just like to know if there is a possibility to root or if I need to sell this thing for a phone that I have more control over. Thank you.

This article is for the note 20, but it might help guide you:
I rooted my US Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra, and here's what I'm doing with it
The Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra has every feature you can think of already and costs $1,299, but I bootloader unlocked and rooted it anyway.
www.xda-developers.com
StoneyJSG,
Thank you ... and articles like this are why I am asking. In recent, I have read (in a few locations) that there is a possibility to unlock the bootloader with a Snapdragon S10 (USA Model) with a private/non-official online source. Like most, I question the legitimacy of this process as it seems fairly new, nefarious, and there aren't a lot of success stories yet. Again, with a $100 price tag on unlocking a phone, that is another deterrent.
I appreciate the nudge in the right direction. I guess, the better question now is; has anyone utilized an online service like this, and was it successful?
No problem. Yes, I believe the developer and moderator here named egiliwilly (I think that's how you spell his name) has had it done to his phone, but not sure.

Question How to connect S21 ultra with Gear SM v700?

Hello everyone,
I have a Galaxy S21 ultra, I would like to connect it to my old Galaxy SM v700, but the Gear app prevents this due to post 2021 updates.
The watch works correctly with the Note 20 Ultra, in fact it is Samsung's choice to block it, there are no technical problems to prevent it.
How can I make it work again? Yes, it's an old watch and I have new ones, but I have an emotional value to that device and I'm not happy that Samsung prevents this by forcing me to change devices (which I already own anyway).
Thanks to anyone willing to help me.

I have a Note 9 SM-960F, is it Snapdragon?

Hi!
So, I bought myself a Note 9 (6/128GB) as I was in love with the device when it was released but had no money. Presently, got some spare money and bought myself a refurnished one for about $180. The device looks and works well apart from some scratches at the back which I will put a cover on.
I see that the device name is SM-960F. I searched the net and in most of the places it shows that this model, 960F is the Exynos version. I installed CPUZ and got the result that it has Snapdragon 845! I'm attaching the screenshot here. The bootloader of the phone is unlocked. I am not planning to run any banking/financial app on it. I will just use it with my secondary SIM. The doubt I have is that is it really a Snapdragon version or some sort of trickery (extremally sorry for sounding so noob)
Please help if possible and thanks in advance!
Boot into download mode and show us what's on the screen.
I think this is what you said.... Please see!
And, thanks for the reply!
