I just purchased a Korean version of the galaxy note 8. I understand that rooting can be done for the F/DS model, but I have not found any specific tutorials for the Korean version.
can anyone help a brother out?

What works on one f model works on another. It doesn't need to be a specific guide.

Ah, I missed that yours is an n model. Sorry I missed that. Rooting should still be the same though.

as of now, I have successfully installed TWRP, but when I got to wipe the phone, it gives me an error saying it failed to mount preload.

okay, but the problem is that it would let me finish the wipe, it just stops at preload.
should I try an advanced wipe and just uncheck preload?

Tried to do an advanced wipe, and just unselect preload, but then it gave me the same error "unable to mount... invalid argument" for every single option.
Long story short, I ended up bricking my phone and had to flash back to stock in odin.
What kind of note do you have? Im starting to think there's something fishy with the Korean model.

You are only bricked when twrp and system are down. Did you format data? Because you need to.

I have not rooted for a while, but the other day I tried a couple of roms, I too got the preload error, which I had not before, but everything worked fine though. I have the N950F, so definitely not an issue with your version.

I have a Samsung device Galaxy SIII Mini (GT-I 8190)
Accidentally installed a version that was not his, and knocked on the recovery, and now my device does not get any updates, not through the OTA and automatic updates, simply the recovery screwed.
I tried to change version, and restore the original version and it did not help ..
By the way, every time a version I do, he gets stuck, and I must do him param then he recovers back. No param is stuck in the front window.
You know how you fix it please?
I dont think that any update was published.

Maybe flash an official firmware from the start and do a hard reset (after the flashing).
That should definitely install the official recovery again!

Ill do a TWRP backup first thing and share but not sure it will work in other devices.

according to a search in Google its not possible to be retail and have a demo because its 2 different ROMS.
you can use TWRP to wipe everything Data, Dalvik and System.
Then use the backup.
This are tips so please use at your own risk.

dont know what to say to that, however, you can try this:

install framework (use flash mode) and look for module BootManager. You can choose witch apps will run at system start. Disable demo app.

How are you getting the zip over to the phone? Use adb push or an external sd card. You might need to wipe (factory reset) in TWRP before you try and install.

Sounds like a problem with boot. Do a factory reset in TWRP, flash http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=57174863&postcount=1 and then afterwards flash that ROM.
Download the zip in this post and adb push that file to your TWRP/BACKUPS/ folder and restore like that. I forgot the other ROM I had you flash required a previous backup to have been made.

I think you need to start reading some threads around here, once you have installed the TWRP for the S3, you cannot get OTA to work again and their are other numerous issues too, as of yet nobody can fully restore back to stock. So start reading.
Also a few people here do have flashable firmware that might help but it will never be a full stock recovery unless something is fixed.

the post i sent you too, and the twrp back up in there at step 6 is all you need to restore your system to 19s..
it will not give you an error, but make sure you are using the chinese twrp
the error is what you are getting trying to flash the OTA thru twrp...dont worry about it as the OTA's will not install
Official twrp work too... Just ota fuxed

Hey, do you know where I could find the Chinese TWRP that allows me to flash the original stock EUI rom? I flashed LineageOS but the camera is not perfect, so I wish to go back to EUI but I cannot figure out how to install it without seeing errors such as "this package is for "le_s2_na" devices. Your device is a "s2"." Could you point me in the right direction? Maybe a download link for the Chinese TWRP that people claim works? Thanks!

You need to unzip the firmware file, remove top 2 lines from META-INF\com\google\android\updater-script and zip it again, it will remove the platform check. However device still does not boot, I tried to install both 20S and 21S multiple times. My guess is we need the original recovery partition image for X522 and I could not find it anywhere.
I resolved it. Took 2 days and dozens of flashes. As far as I can tell the key was to wipe everything - system, cache, data, internal storage, then reboot into bootloader again and into Chinese TWRP.
So the process would be:
1. power off the phone. Hold VolumeDown button and power on. It loads into bootloader.
2. fastboot oem unlock-go
3. fastboot boot twrp.img.
4. In TWRP wipe EVERYTHING
5. In TWRP reboot -> bootloader.

I resolved it. Took 2 days and dozens of flashes. As far as I can tell the key was to wipe everything - system, cache, data, internal storage, then reboot into bootloader again and into Chinese TWRP.
So the process would be:
1. power off the phone. Hold VolumeDown button and power on. It loads into bootloader.
2. fastboot oem unlock-go
3. fastboot boot twrp.img.
4. In TWRP wipe EVERYTHING
5. In TWRP reboot -> bootloader.
6. repeat 2-3.
7. On PC: adb push S2_X522-NA-OP-IFXNAOP5802102141S-5.8.021S.zip /sdcard
8. In TWRP click right button on the bottom and select English. Click "Do not allow modifications." Install the zip file you just uploaded.
9. Reboot.

Hmm I might try that later, but what would I do if I get the classical error ("this package is for "le_s2_na" devices")? Will that error not show up if I follow your method?
I went to codeworks page:
There are 4 files for the x522 in firmware and 4 in modems. I am assuming the "19s" firmware is for India so is the "20s" for the US?
But the 4 files in the modem section is confusing, which one/one's are for the US model x522? here is the link for the modems https://host.llamasweet.tech/codeworkx/lineage/s2/
Thanks

Oh you mean flash that entire rom? And will that install the bootloader and modem? In any case, i tried flashing those files but they won't flash, any suggestions?
Since those roms won't flash i had to look for individual bootloader and modem and stumbled into those files by codeworks, and i am assuming you are saying that those aren't the correct files?

I just flashed 21S today on my 522. what recovery do you have right now? that's pure stock. flashing will erase everything and restore factory rom. https://youtu.be/v_aohNnvT_Q

twrp-3.2.1-0-s2, can't remember if i had the same one or one version older than the current one; when i tried it. Should i try it again? But the question is will it install the origibnal boot loader and modem? because i was playing with those in the past and flashed the wrong ones i think, and it will be great if i can go back to the original ones.

it certainty restores boot. not sure about modem, I never touched it. you have nothing to loose flashing it. it supposed to be bone stock. just delete two lines in the script and re-save zip. you have to do wipe, wipe data, then mount, copy zip, flash, reboot. in that order, I wasted hours today finding out that order is required. otherwise, it won't load.

then you have a more complicated problem than mine. I had stock fastboot, and twrp.

Unbelievable! It actually worked after the 2nd attempt. Even got the 21s update. Thanks :good:
The original question is still unanswered about which one is the correct firmware for the US model amng the firmware provided by codeworks, hopefully someone knows that and will share in interest of others that might have the same problem.
Thanks again @leo221 for providing a clear and easy solution.
