Hi Everyone!
I Have S8 Plus G955FD which I couldn't get root because of KG Status Prenormal. Even though I have OEM Unlocked in Dev Menu.
Please suggest a fix for this issue.
THANK YOU!

[GUIDE] Skipping KG STATE prenormal on OneUI (Android Pie 9.0)
Hello, XDA Community. Since the release of the last major update, Android Pie 9.0/OneUI, as soon as we trigger an update to the bootloader while we are running unofficial binaries, like TWRP and custom ROMs, a message pops up on boot splash...

Is it safe to update from Nougat 7.1.1 with bootloader unlocked to oreo without softbricking the device or do I still have to lock the bootloader and then update?
Thanks in advance.

read and search the forum before making a thread.All info along with files is given there.also if possible close this thread by contacting the MODS
Hi,
I'll preface this with my specs:
Model: P10 Lite
Model number: WAS-LX1 (3 GB RAM, 32 GB internal storage variant)
Build number: WAS-LX1C432B193
EMUI 5.1 - Android 7.0. My setup is fully stock, no mods of any sort whatsoever.
Now, I've been interested in unlocking the bootloader and trying out Oreo on the device. I've already requested the unlock code, but have not yet unlocked the bootloader itself.
Firstly, I would like to ask you if it's worth unlocking the bootloader/flashing any of the custom ROMs or stock based ROMs and if you find Oreo better than Nougat on this device. If yes, which ROMs (custom or stock-based) and recoveries do you recommend and how exactly would I go about the unlocking process? Are there any risks involved (compared to other OEMs like OnePlus) Are there any prerequisites or guides on all this? Coming from Nexus and OnePlus devices where this stuff is a breeze, I wonder how much does Huawei differ.
Thanks in advance!
First off, got the unlock code before the service shuts down. Then install TWRP via fastboot using the recovery_ramdisk command. Then update to Oreo ASAP. It's miles better than Nougat. There are no downsides other than no OTA updates with custom recovery. No DRM keys or that hassle. I'd recomment, no, insist enabling Enable OEM unlock from developer settings. Dunno how you unlock BL on pixel or OP devices, but for HUawei you enable OEM unlock. Then shut down the device, hold Vol - then connect the USB cable to the PC. here you issue the regular fastboot oem unlock *bl unlock code*.
Oreo is a godsend for this device.

950w/u doesn't have OEM unlock. These variants have locked bootloader's and therefore can't have TWRP installed. You would know this if you searched. It's only been discussed 1,00,000+ times

ok, why do they post a TWRP for 64bit - Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 MSM8998 (10nm) then? in the link i added in my post above?
and G950W is 64bit - Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 MSM8998 (10nm) as well.
ALso I do see OEM unlock option if I flash COMBINATION FILE, so can I do something else to root?
Thankyou
This TWRP is for Chinese versions that have an unlocked bootloader
It has been discussed a zillion times.. The only thing I can't find is, why?? Why was there a root available for 7.0, but that changed for 8.0?? It won't help achieving root on my G950w, but it just may help me sleep at night.. lol

Because the combination file has a exploitable permissive boot img. Stock does not. Also we only have a 7.0 combination file if all of you look in history the combination released is that of only equal to what the device was released with. In our case 7.0 we will never see a 8.0 combo to root with.
The oem unlock option in combo is only for bypassing frp nothing more. We have studied this quite well
There is a s8 snapdragon Chinese variant which are unlockable unlike our U and W models.
At current there is no root for any bootloader of our versions on reg s8 U or W passed revision 2. Hope this helps to clear up a bit on confusion
Also thread moved to q&a
help my s7
Hi, Eric here, I read your thread about frp lock bypass about the samsung S7 (link is: https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s7/how-to/g930f-frp-unlock-helps-99-g930f-t3791424), and then I downloaded the rar files in this google drive address: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1do9rJ7NlJhPq3esLG7_HLxxUOLKD9PIr/view
when I try to unzip the files, I found the password was not correct (in the readme.txt, the password is: http://zipansion.com/hcsV). I really wonder whether you can check it and send the right password to me if possible, my email address is [email protected]
It will be really appreciated. Thanks a lot.

Flash the full Oreo firmware without the BL tab, then you will be downgrading to Oreo but you will still keep the Pie bootloader.
Also if you do want to downgrade the bootloader I found this thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s8/how-to/guide-skipping-kg-prenormal-oneui-t3911862/amp/

No, I have not tried it but I thought it might work. Try downgrading the bootloader via this method https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s8/how-to/guide-skipping-kg-prenormal-oneui-t3911862
I think you can also get heimdall on Windows
Edit: I found the heimdall download page here: https://glassechidna.com.au/heimdall/
If that doesn't work I also found this thread about downgrading the bootloader with combo firmware: https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s8/help/method-to-downgrade-galaxy-s8-to-oreo-t3946240/amp/ You just have to find a combo firmware with the same binary version as your current firmware.
Downgrading the bootloader is really hard on Samsung devices if possible at all

Your device is on a bit 7 bootloader. The firmware you are trying to flash is a revision 3. You cannot downgrade your revision. 5th digit from far right end in firmware is your software revision

Same as post as above yours check all the Android 8 firmwares if they are the same bit number as Android 9 then yes. If not. No
so in my case I have to find a custom android 8 rom with bit 7?
and if I put a custom rom with a lower rev bit can I downgrade?
having rooted and having twrp?
if it has knox, most likely not
[QUOTE = "avipars, post: 84174127, member: 7551187"]
se ha knox, molto probabilmente no
[/CITAZIONE]
knox is 0x1 therefore no guarantee
