'only official binaries are allowed to be flashed' - Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers

Why does it always say 'only official binaries are allowed to be flashed' after rebooting my rooted note 8(n950f/ds)
After installing twrp recovery and flashing magisk, rebooting the phone would always result in a bootloop with the error message (only official binaries are allowed to be flashed)
any solutions for this?

You HAVE to delete "securitylogagent" in system/app on the first boot after flashing TWRP.

I had the same problem, even after flashing the rmm fix. after wanting to install a module finish on reboot and flashing stock ROM. I believe that the rmm fix should always be used after installing something.
I do not think that deleting the security log agent makes a difference, that's why the Samsung root removal fix is ​​anyway

Yes thank you, I have had it for a while and I already used it, but I still distrust having to restart for some reason. If I have to do it I turn it off and go to the recovery to flash that zip before restarting. The problem of official binaries has already happened to me before, and it is very uncomfortable ...

Trouble with installing xposed (galaxy s4)

I have a Samsung Galaxy S4 (verizon SCH-I545) running android 5.0.1
I have already rooted my device using KingRoot
I have been trying to flash the xposed zip file for several days now and I'm not having any luck. I've tried a few different tools to flash but they all kick me to bootloader but fail to flash the zip. I get the following error when bootloader is verifying the update package:
Code:
E:footer is wrong
E:signature verification failed
I've tried putting the zip file on my device and on SD to see if that might help, but still no dice. Does anyone have suggestions or know what I'm doing wrong? I'm using the most recent zip from XDA (xposed-v86-sdk21-arm.zip updated 08-Jul-2016 15:25... I've also tried arter97's package and dkcldark's package as well as Magisk v1)
Deleted
Anyone have any suggestions?
Bump
Someone has to have some sort of suggestions I could try... would flashing a custom rom on do anything or is this related to the KNOX security stuff?
Are you using twrp? if so, did you turn off zip verification and md5 verification?

I wasn't aware of the install twrp step which answers most of the questions I have about this.
I tried it and softbricked my device. Did a little more research and it looks like the kernel I have won't allow me to install TWRP. I'm trying to use verizion's recovery tool to downgrade/repair the device and I'll see if I can get this device rolled back and TWRP installed.
Thank you for the info, this gives me a launching point at least. I'll check back here if/when I get TWRP installed and I try to disable the validation.
This thread is probably your answer

Hola. i just did this on vz GS4 i545:
use FlashFire for everything. make sure you have a titanium backup of your apps and data for after you flash new ROM. here are the steps:
1. Flash Fire Zip or OTA stock of1 deodexed ROM from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...1-keeproot-t3182544/post62413212#post62413212
it will spend 10 to 15 minutes on the red Verizon splash screen.
2. reload from titanium at this point.
3. install xposed 3.0alpha4.apk from the xposed forum page.
4. flashfire zip or ota Arter97's xposed v65 sdk21 arm arter97 V5 krait.zip
this last step took about 35 minutes to upgrade all 260 plus apps i have.
make sure you have the proper uninstaller loaded too just in case. i put mine on the ext sd card in case i needed to load it from recovery. though that might not work because of the unsigned issue.

OP3 T Root Issue

Tried to root OP3T with 7.0 . Not sure what happened but the phone is stuck in bootloop.
What do I need to do to get rid of boot loop ? Do I need different version of SU which works with 7.0 ?
What version of SuperSU are you using? Older versions will cause you to get stuck on the boot animation.
Try v2.79. It should reboot once or twice during first boot after flashing.
Alternatively, you can also root by flashing Magisk v11.1.

First, reflash OS to get a stable starting point. Then use the unofficial beta release of twrp to flash. I have heard of success with a fork ( blu something) but basically he merged the same patches.
Check the dm-verity thread for more details

Follow this guide:

I used SU version 2.79 and how do I get rid of this boot screen now. Video is using same version of SU I used which caused bootloop.
Is there another version of SU which doesn't cause bootloop ?

He can, by doing as it says. To keep root, Use a SYSTEM version of SuperSU then relock the bootloader. This wipes data but SuperSU is then part of the OS so will survive the lock. Obviously, all user data gets wiped In the process.

Have you tried that personally?
Which version of SU is the system version 2.79 ? First thing is to get the phone to boot first

I did this with OxygenOS 3.5.(4?) in order to pass safetynet before the bootloader patched kernels were created.

Thank you for telling this.
This was a normal thing in rn3 thread.
Where even we flashed roms with locked bootloader. And whatever we can do through recovery we did with locked bootloader.
Didn't try it here though.
So after rooting 7.0 I can then lock the phone and rooting will still work. Not sure how will that happen as phone will be wiped

Someone said to use system root.
And then lock the bootloader. Since the su is in system, it won't be wiped.
Haven't tried it but should work THEORETICALLY
What exactly is system root is that a flashable zip or regular SU in rom when rom gets rooted .

Regular su.
Earlier su used to be system root.
The systemless root started quite recently.
So do I need to use seamless root or SU for 7.0
On using systemless root it will be deleted when you lock bootloader.
You need to use system root for naught
Keep in mind that if you update OOS after locking the bootloader,you'll lose root. Afterwards, you'll have to unlocked the bootloader again - and wiping your device in the process - to reroot.

Newbie still trying to root first device...

Hey all,
So I posted what I did to **** everything up the other day: https://forum.xda-developers.com/ta...ie-tried-to-root-device-t3655848?goto=newpost
I read about 70 different forums posts and concluded (somehow) that i needed to try and flash "twrp_3.1.0" for my T810. Well, for some reason it worked. I now have twrp on my boot-looped device.
Now, I'm trying to install a different recommendation which is the "SuperSU-v2.76" ROM through dragging it onto my tablet via My Computer (Since Odin refuses to load it)
Guess what? Ran into another problem when doing this. My T810 will no longer connect with my PC. It is stating "Device driver software was not successfully installed"... throwing out an error message MTP USB Device Failed.
I came up with the wise idea to simply put the SuperSU file on my brand new 128gb micro SD card. I found a USB adaptor for the card, plugged it into my PC and now My Computer is stating that the Micro SD card only has 1.67mb of space available. Did a bunch of research and found out that the USB adaptor actually has a limitor pre programmed into it so that you cannot adapt large SD cards..
I'm striking out guys. I need help. I'm able to navigate the twrp menu.. is there an option on this screen that will help me? I cannot think of what needs to be done next to get this Tab working....
also
.... yes I have the Samsung USB driver installed for my particular device....
So I ended up running to the store and I bought a 16gb micro SD. It worked, I was able to run the SuperSU-v2.76 flash on my device. Geuss what happened next?
Bootloop again.
Currently trying another suggestion which calls for restoring the tablet to an original OEM flash. Going to try installing the "5.0.2_T810XXU1AOG6_T810XAR1AOG6_XAR" flash and ill post what happens........
NOPE! No good. twrp does not recognize booting MD5 files.... I'm stuck again.

Hey ashyx,
How does that version of SuperSU differ from the one I just tried to flash?
What causes the tab to bootloop in the first place?
Thanks for your help!!

Difficult to explain, but it should prevent the bootloop.
Samsung and Google's updates can break root, so new patched versions need to be released to overcome the issue.
You should consult the Supersu beta thread for the changelog.

gotcha. I'm 100% brand-new to rooting. After I get SuperSU rooted onto my tab... Can I proceed with installing other custom ROMs?
What's the standard procedure for rooting/flashing devices from one ROM to the next?
I must be ****ing up bad because the last (4) ROM's I've tried have all bootlooped.
I did notice that I forgot to enable developers options when my tab was still OEM.. haven't been able to boot into a menu to change it though

You don't need root to be able flash custom roms but you must enable OEM UNLOCK in developer settings or you will encounter FRP Lock and won't be able to boot until you flash the stock firmware.
You will also need to patch dm-verity before installing anything custom. SuperSU and Magisk already do this or you can can flash my boot patch which also disables forced encryption.

I tried flashing stock firmware in Odin via the file "5.0.2_T810XXU1AOG6_T810XAR1AOG6_XAR" which I found on the stock firmware forum for the T810. Odin failed during the flash...
If I get SuperSU working can I enable OEM UNLOCK?
What is dm-verity?

I suggest you flash the latest Marshmallow or Nougat update.
Dm-verity is a security mechanism.

I'm confused. So I should continue with trying to get the correct version of SuperSU flashed first..right? Then figure out what I need; Marshmallow or Nougat? I haven't even got the tablet to get past the Samsung logo, I cannot enable OEM Unlock.. Last night when I tried flashing stuff Odin did not want to cooperate. I get a "FAIL! Complete (Write) operation failed" message. Tried to flash the stock ROM file I listed below with both re-partition unchecked and checked with no success.

It probably fails because you can't downgrade.
It's up to you to whether to flash MM or NN.
You will need to update first and then flash twrp and then supersu.

How do I update supersu binaries?

Just successfully installed Supersu 2.81 (2.81 because the guide I used said it's the most stable version) when my phone rebooted the playstore promted me to update Supersu so. being the clueless noob that I am I updated it. Now it keeps failing when it's trying to update binaries. I can still use supersu and still have root access though. It's just annoying seeing that message to update binaries.
I have the same problem, I've even tried flashing the SuperSU .zip manually using TWRP! It reboots my phone before it finishes the flashing process. Does anyone know how to update it?

Open Supersu, navigate to the settings, scroll down and do a full unroot. Your phone will reboot so make sure you activate twrp before your phone boots fully otherwise you'll have to reinstall twrp again via adb cause your phone will overwrite twrp after it boots.
Download Supersu 2.82 here (the one I have is the no additive version just root) and just flash it with twrp. Done. Easy.

Sorry for late reply, I've tried uninstalling supersu/unrooting but neither did work or help. I finally ended up rebranding my phone to AL10 and installing the Chinese Oreo rom which works great.

Only official released binaries are allowed to be flashed* after rooting

After installing TWRP and rooting my device on the latest firmware N950FXXU5CRHA,
I get an error message when I power on the device and it won't boot up
(Only official released binaries are allowed to be flashed)
I got root working but when I try to restart it, I always ended up getting that message and I need to flash again the official firmware and losing my root again
any solutions for this? :crying:

After flashing TWRP and rebooting you have to delete "securitylogagent" in system/app before rebooting again.

I deleted "securitylogagent in system/app but when I restarted my phone, I still got that errror. But anyways, I did install a custom rom on my phone to obtain root without any problems
