Xposed on Snapdragon US Unlocked? - Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers

I've seen some mixed things about this, and would like some confirmation
I've seen some people say they've gotten it on the Tmobile version, but from what I can see, unless I have the Chinese model, I can't get TWRP, maybe they were using the Exynos version on tmobile, but they identified by tmobile
So is it possible to get xposed on snapdragon US unlocked?

I am in the exact same situation. I have a rooted, unlocked snapdragon S8 and get the message that the xposed framework is not yet available on my device when I try to install from within the app.

I have the sm-g955u variant. Where did you find instructions to unlock the bootloader of this phone? Everything I am reading says that it is not unlockable and I need the chinese variant. Do you have TWRP installed on it?

Is there any one rooted S7/S7 edge Snapdragon version?

My English is bad, sorry.
I have rooted my SM-G9350(S7 edge China version) by flashing xiao1u's recovery, then boot into recovery and flash SuperSU 2.71.
Then I found the front camera issue: When using system camera app's auto mode, the second and next photo captured become deep red black, when reboot or reset the camera app, the first shot is well, but the second shot is still become deep red black.... And other problems, such as in some apps the video can not play directly, the picture stoped at begin and the speaker make "da da da"...(I have asked one who have not root his phone, he does not have this problem...)
So I flashed back offical firmware using odin, seleted "Re-partition, Nand erase all and phone bootloader update", but no any change, the problem still there...
Some one flashed xiao1u's recovery but he haven't boot into recovery to flash SuperSU ZIP package, he say his phone does not have these problems...That seems says xiao1u's recovery does not directly cause these problems...
So the problems may because using xiao1u's recovery flashing SuperSU package?
Some one guess these problems because root changed param partition, who have param.bin?
Not only me, as I found there are about fifty people have the same problem as me....
Who can give some help? Lots of thanks!!!!!
Snapdragon has a locked bootloader so no root.

My phone model is SM-G9350, not G935F0.... I do not know how to upload images...
Here is the samsung official link:

Thanks!
FYI SM-G9350 is the Snapdragon based S7 Edge sold in HK and China. I have the same in my hand.
Something similar was posted for the S6E: http://forum.xda-developers.com/and...sung-factory-bootloader-unlocker-apk-t3086609
The U.S. Snapdragon variants have a locked bootloader. It appears the Chinese version does not.
so this will only work on the asian versions?

So far, apparently.
It's been my limited observation that locked bootloaders are carrier specific, it may be that the US providers may have become consistent but I haven't really made an assessment.
USA.... The land of the free and the locked bootloader. That is just not right ☺
I almost started getting very excited...what a tease lol

I thank Congress. You know. My lawmakers, which are lock-stock-and-barrel owned by the well monied PACs, such as the telecom providers.
I give a second thanks to the malicious coders of the world that have made it necessary for personal devices that do computation to have strong built-in security defenses just to be able to communicate with other drives.
I used that file to unlock (by some way) my bootloader im on the same g9350.
The people with the locked BL issue should try CROM, if it doesnt work it will not kill your phone.
1400700226 can you share to me the links from where you obtained the info related to the root??? As I mentioned you before when i tryed the root my IMEI got corrupted.

You could try a "package disabler" type application on the Google play store, never used one myself but it says it disables bloatware without root.
I know... not exactly what you asked for but somewhat useful.
Kind regards.

Does Magisk work on this model with 7.0?

Seems like it's not possible to get a straight answer.
Thanks.

Magisk requires an unlocked bootloader of which the u.s. snapdragon models do not have. Your straight answer is no it does not.

SM-G9880 & SM-G9810 HK\CH\Taiwan Snapdragon Root

Hello All,
TO be crystal clear, this is for HK\China\Taiwan version of the device. Snapdragon bootloader unlockable.
I bought both these phones and was able to root successfully.
Following all the other guides, unlock bootloader etc. you extract the boot image, change to tar, patch it with magisk, flash in Odin via AP, boot immediately in recovery, factory reset, and voila, boot up and you are good to go.
I'm using the S20U with T-Mo and the S20 with ATT
I fandangled these instructions in the OP here https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s20-plus/development/howto-root-phone-s20-t4067649
Got FW from here
https://samfw.com/firmware/SM-G9880 and
https://samfw.com/firmware/SM-G9810
Edit: I imagine this works with S20+ too
So now I have a couple of questions actually.
Given that i'm a US user, can i flash t-mo CSC ? or the NA unlocked FW?
What's safe to debloat?
I do'nt know how to build kernels, but if anyone is interested, i'll be their guinea pig.
Kernel Sauce : https://opensource.samsung.com/uploadSearch?searchValue=G9880
Possible you write the guide for rooting s20U snap ?
Also, my build date for the latest update on samfw i flashed it has apr 1 security update

Unfortunately cannot be shipped to Portugal
I have several questions
First off for those using swift installer you must apply the high contrast theme on theme store in galaxy apps, then you can use swift installer after a reboot.
Where is caller ID settings like i had on my pixel 3 xl in terms of screening etc.
Also, do i need to flash a t-mobile CSC ?
I have wifi calling VoLTE but unsure if i'm getting the "best speeds" per se
i'm unable to access *#2263# either, does nothing..

g988n I believe is Exynos which is not favored.
if we're already importing from online, might as well go for SD, assuming it will be rootable
I didn't get my HK s10 until root appeared. to use in USA.
here is break down of model number, vs, region, vs cpu

G988N is 865
Hello masri. Thanks for your guide of rooting the S20 series. So does this mean that the rooting process of snapdragon variants are the same as Exynos variants? And which version of magical do you use? Thanks again.:highfive:

korean pride would prevent its market from using snapdragon

this listing, and the link I posted seems to suggest G988N is Exynos 990.

You're wrong my friend, 988N is using definitely Snapdragon 865 chip. That's is also new for the Koreans this year!

thanks for the screenshot. shows me what I know. further google showed me that it is indeed SD for this particular model
the only question now is whether G988N or G9880 is more favored for rooting.
this info will change what people would buy, well, for me at least
You can now change your CSC using Samkey. I have changed mines from BRI to TGY today.

Samsung s7 wont downgrade from android 8 to 6

Hello all, when I try to downgrade my phone I get an error in odin saying that it has failed and it says 'Auth' and my phone gives an error saying 'sw rev check fail [aboot] fused 11 > binary 4'
Is there a way I can fix this so I can downgrade? I get the same error when trying to go to android 7 as well

Applies to the original and intact firmware on the phone.
The BIT code protects the phone from downgraded versions. You can't do anything about it. You can only downgrade the version with the same BIT code, which is tied to the bootloader.

I see. I’m assuming that’s because it’s a Verizon device? There are tons and tons of other people being able to downgrade online but I don’t think any of theirs are Verizon locked
