Galaxy S8 (SC-02J or SM-G950D)obtained root privilege


It takes time but there is only one success. Android9 and 8 failed with boot loop...
FINALLY SUCCESS WITH Android9 on 2023/10/19!

get a good root 2nd time and after. See below for the first time.
Take a minute to backup your data before proceeding. Practical Use: You will interchangablly use two boot images;

  1. one for root,
    1. G9500.img: install by "install image" on TWRP as boot.
    2. Magisk.zip (v20.3): install by "install zip" on TWRP.
  2. one for de-root or one-seg.
    1. boot_cud4_noverify_bless.img
    These files are located in /00root/01root/ and /00root/02de-root/.
These two boot.img are quite compatible. You use the 2nd kernel in general. Once you need root permission then
  1. power off,
  2. go back to recovery mode by vol-up, bixy and power button, # or $ adb reboot recovery
  3. TWRP: install->install img -> choose a boot.img
  4. choose boot partition (among boot, recovery, system partitions)
  5. and boot up the system.
Root 1st time:
  1. 9500.img with magisk-v20.4 patch; this gives you a good root.
  2. cud4 official boot.img (One-seg, one-seg, bixy and etc are enabled.) Simply use "boot_cud4_no_verify.img.

The Cause of Boot-Loop: fstab.qcom.

  1. extract boot.img of CUD4.
  2. open the boot.img with bless (hex editor) in linux
  3. search and replace ",verify" with " " (7 spaces). (3 replacements)
  4. save the modified boot.img as boot-noverity.img
  5. intall the new boot.img via twrp.
