Samsung Galaxy Note 8 was updated to Android 8.0 Oreo recently. The update took a very long time to come out. Samsung has never failed to disappoint its users when it comes to software updates. However, it’s better late than never. If you have already updated your Note 8 or you are planning to update it, you will lose the root access and any custom recovery if you have installed one. To get root access and TWRP recovery on Oreo-powered Note 8, you will have to repeat the whole process from scratch.
Installing a new stock firmware restores everything to factory settings. This is why you can lose the root on a previously rooted Galaxy Note 8. To root the phone once again, you can flash the TWRP recovery and then flash the Magisk or SuperSU script to modify your phone. Earlier, there were reports that the existing SuperSU and TWRP were not working with the Android Oreo on Note 8. However, a number of users have successfully rooted their Note 8 with the help of SuperSU as well as Magisk. It turns out that you only have to pick up the right version of TWRP and you have to flash the files carefully.
If you are reading this post at the moment, I’m assuming that you are here to learn how to root and install TWRP on your freshly updated Note 8. Before I take you through the tutorial, it’s important to explain what is root and what is a TWRP custom recovery. If you are a newbie, you can read the explanation and skip it otherwise.
TWRP custom recovery runs in the bootloader of the phone. It replaces the stock recovery of your phone. A custom recovery has loads of options in it. With the help of a custom recovery like the TWRP, you can easily flash .zip and .img files on your phone. The backup option gives the privilege to the users to backup EFS, Nandroid and all other partitions. Using the wipe options, you can wipe the selective partitions of the phone. The most popular use of a custom recovery like the TWRP is to flash a script like SuperSU or Magisk to root the phone. To root the Galaxy Note 8, you need TWRP before you flash the root files.
So, those of you have recently updated their Note 8 to Oreo or those who are planning to update can follow this tutorial now. This tutorial explains how to install TWRP recovery and root Galaxy Note 8 running Android Oreo.
Read Carefully: Rooting your Note 8 via TWRP Recovery will void its warranty and also trip the Knox counter. After you root your phone, you will trigger the dm-verity verification. To bypass this, you must factory reset your phone and it will wipe your phone’s internal storage. It is very important to backup all your data before you root your phone. In the case of any kind of mishap, TechBeasts and the Root developer may not be held responsible. Make sure that you understand the risks involved in the rooting process. You are going to do it at your own risk.
