Xposed for Note8 7.1.1 snapdragon

Just wondering if the xposed firmware rovo released is supported on Note8 snapdragon US/CAN variant.
If so.
Has anyone has tried on the note 8 an got it working with no issues please let me know.

Nope. The development stopped along time ago for Snapdragon Xposed.

Soooo.... the note 8 is just not supported for xposed or. Does one need to update to some other custom Rom or something in order to Install xposed on the note 8 .

There are 2 different models of note 8. Snapdragon and Exynos. You can download Xposed if you have the Exynos version of the note 8. However, you can't do the same if you have the Snapdragon version of the note 8.

So do I need to start a bounty for the note 8 snapdragon or something. I'm sure there's alot of people willing to pay @rovo89 or @me2151 to get xposed working on snapdragon. ? I myself would offer 100 dollars to have it working on my note 8. An I'm sure if i started a thread for Canadian an US variants with note 8 snapdragon there would be alot more cash involved . Or is it just impossible.?

let's get oreo first.

Oreo comes after snapdragon. Why skip the people who rooted before Oreo came out. ?

Lol

waste of efforts to try and get snapdragon nougat working when oreo is where eveything is at. the whole reason why initially nougat almost never got xposed is that by the time a stable working version was available, oreo was going to be mainstream and all those efforts should go towards a current OS.
edit:
grant it, somebody got their hands on the partially working nougat build and made it work(exynos) a that time so you never know... but again, oreo should be the main focus i think.

Still no way to get Xposed on our Snapdragon Note 8's? I saw something mentioned about flashing a modified stock firmware, but I can't find anymore about this, and if it would even allow Xposed.

Just a question: which is the Snapdragon version? Is it the 9500?
I'm thinking about buying a new Note 8, and Xposed will be welcome.
Thanks!

Safe strap

Hello, I am wondering if safe strap will be available for the note 9 u versions. Doesn't that work with locked boot loaders so we can still have custom ROMs and mods?

so yeah probably you have alot of catching up to do.
basically put, safe strap exploit is no more. and the future of using it again to root/custom recovery a QC snapdragon is looking bleak since the s8( root worked for only 3 or 4 months)
of course you could do yourself a favor and just get an international version instead. But note 9 development is slowing down.. it never got off to the same point as the previous models did.

Ok thanks for explaining

Update without losing the ability to root?

I'm on Verizon (Snapdragon)
My phone is not rooted, though I stopped updating at 7.1.1 because apparently the ability to root was patched out soon after. I still don't really plan on rooting, but it would be nice if I had the option.
Is there any way to root my phone (if it isn't already) after updating to 8.x or the 9.0 beta?

No, currently not and I think it is very unlikely it will be possible in near future.

What about rooting beforehand? I know the bootloader was never unlocked, so I'm guessing there are no custom ROMs that I could update to, right?

I am not sure about this but rooting through magic works for us on exynos variant and I think there was a root kind of option for snapdragon like a bootstrapper, doesn't that work or the combination factory firmware?

1. NO , Doesn't matter you'll lose the chance to root when you update to oreo (that comes with bootloader v4) and pie!
2. This thread (link below) and the WETA rom is the only nougat 7.1.1 custom rom for SM-N950u/u1.

Be careful once you update your bootloader to version 4 you'll lose root period.
edit. For corrections with oreo root. You can update to oreo As Long As the bootloader is v3.

The version you have now is so much slower that you have long ago lost any benefits of waiting to root!

The early versions of Oreo used bootloader 3.

I'll probably just go ahead and update then. I used to root every phone, so that was important when I first bought it, but in over a year I haven't needed it once. Probably not worth staying on a much older version for something I likely won't use.
Thank you for the replies!

I have this same problem i'm on unrooted nougat 7.1.1 and have been patiently waiting for a bootloader unlock. But, one ui is looking so good I might just give up and update. I also use samsung pay and other things that I would lose with root/BL unlock.

Yeah, I was holding out hope for a BL unlock, but it doesn't look like it's going to happen. Most people seem to be shifting their focus to newer phones, which is understandable.

Note 9 Fans with Root & Xposed . My Oneplus 5T switch

What root and Xposed Setup are note 9 960F Dual sim users using ? Oreo+Root+Xposed OR Pie+Root+EdXposed.
I managed to get root , magisk , edxposed working on Pie On March Security Patch. But the system became unstable after i restored titanium backup data restore. The SystemUI stopped responding frequently and after some troubleshooting i was not able to find a solution.I managed to use a stable system for a brief period of time and it wasnt impressive at all.
The second problem i faced is listed here (unable to setup IRIS,Fingerprint lock)
After a full odin flash , root , I failed in replicating root and magisk due to various problems like : unofficial binaries,etc.
I am thinking of sticking with Oneplus5T and selling the Note 9 . Oneplus speed and setup is addictive. I can live with the inferior hardware.
Before the switch i am thinking of trying root+xposed setup on oreo

How did you go about this? Using the old root methods listed in here? Once you have achieved installation of TWRP, you would be far safer to just flash one of the various custom roms with a good rep and go from there.
Are you on Snapdragon or Xynos?

I did not buy note 9 for using it with custom rom. Custom rom has its own set of problems. The biggest jolt would be a reduced camera app. My old phone would be better than a custom rom

He prob on 960F as 960U does not have root. Would be nice to specify what devices so people are not jumping in here thinking this is snapdragon.

He has a 960f

After using Note 9 for a brief period of time , i understood samsung devices are not for me. My last Samsung device was note 4 . The dual version performed horribly with 16gb memory. I can live with the inferior hardware of OP5T for now and will probably upgrade it with OP7. Oneplus opmtization is the best and its addictive. Also on note 9 i missed "Island " Android for work support. Even with all the modification i have on my OP5T its super fast.

[Q] Advice for a New N9600 owner

Hello people as the title states I recently purchased a note 9. I wanted to get the N960F model but when it arrived, to my surprise it was a N9600, which is no problem for me because snapdragon is a good thing, the only downside is the fewer development.
Anyhow I have some. Questions and I would like to hear your recommendations As I'm waiting the 7 days for the OEM unlock to appear.
1. Should I update the system? My n9 came with Android 8.1.0,but I don't know if I update it would be detrimental for the sake of rooting
2. Is this model rootable? I believe so but could you direct me to the thread on that regard.
3. Would you recommended self de bloating with TB or try WETA Rom?
4. What would you suggest: stay on stock + root or WETA Rom?
5. I've seen a lot of pie complains so should I stay on Oreo or give Pie a try? I come from the OnePlus3, I'm a former flashoholic XD and 'til my last moments with the OP3 I had HavocOS which was pie based, thus I'm hesitant to look back to Oreo.
6. This should be 1st but anyway do I need to unlock the bootloader or something special before rooting and installing twrp?
7. I've read that development for the SD version is difficult and that AOSP Roms are stuck because of gpu frequencies and other stuff, but do you think that this version will receive some. More loving from the development department in the future?
Thanks in advance guys and I appreciate your time in reading and for any suggestions you may give.

yes
Just like exynos, the bootloader is unlocked and you can always root it, version does not matter, pie , oreo. and yes you can also run all the GSIs on the phone cause its a Treble enabled device which helps a lot with roms and i think there will be much more roms for n9600 as well as soon as it ages a bit and people start rooting them. You could install WETA ROM or any other ROM / Kernel, Rooting is same as Exynos model except the TWRP has to be for Snapdragon

Thanks mate, in terms of rooting, should I use official magisk of a custom one?
On the twrp thread for the SD variant people mention the official. They just recommend versions 18.1 for Oreo and 19 for pie, is that alright?
And if I update my firmware and software over Ota before rotring and installing twrp, will it be a problem?
