Dont Root Your Samsung Galaxy S8/S8+ (at least for now)

   

  
   Hi,  As the title says do not jump around and google things about rooting your phone.. yes we know it could be very useful to root a phone but if you are old to these rooting stories you would know where is the best place to go and get a real advice, well if you are new i encourage you to do some research first before proceeding  with some random guy  tutorials.. or maybe you can read from this post, So here is the little story about rooting the S8/S8+ from the reddit user  named "exelero88"   here's his story...

A few days ago, someone entered the tech support channel telling us he attempted to root his s8 and got himself stuck in a bootloop. He had rooted the phone out of the box and after flashing his firmware several times he still can't boot his phone up.


His reasons for the root attempt were the following: -AdBlock -Debloat -"Because it's tradition".

After being told he can't be helped (because I can't do more), he went on and made a thread on XDA, asking them for help.

I hereby urge you not to do the same thing this guy has done and to NOT pay attention to Max Lees video!!!

1) The phone is not even a month old! It is very expensive, even if you buy it through carrier! 1000 dollars still is a lot of money for someone and can be compared to a 100.000$ car. You would not tinker with a 100.000$ car, and render it almost useless, would you?

1.1) You can lose your warranty in certain countries.

2)AdBlock can be achieved without root and with the hep of KNOX! I must not remind you of apps like AdHell or DisconnectPro, basically a must on any Galaxy!

3)Debloat. This is very subjective! We are not in 2012-2013 anymore, you don't need crazy roots and hacks to remove something you don't want. Disabling is enough, and if it's still persistant, just move it to the secure folder or the Knox partition! (In case of my guy here he purchased the phone directly from Samsung so I doubt there being any bloat at all.)

4)It's tradition. No, it's not. It was, and this is history! DO NOT BELIEVE WHAT MOST YOUTUBERS TELL YOU! Obviously, Max Lee and others alike are able to make this video since they often have more than 1 device around, just because it's their job and they make money out of youtube videos and hence they can do anything they want to!

5)But muh ROMS. The phone shipped out on 4/21. It's not even a month old! There has not been any rom published yet, and quiet honestly, what more can you wish from the phone that packs the best and the most features and possibilities on the market. There is (currently) no ROM that can offer you anything better or more than your current phone!

As you can see from the post, Knox has been tripped and the guy can not find a solution, due to probably the phone being 1 month old. Also, he can not get the right firmware for his device since it probably hasn't been published.

Note: I pruposely didn't want to insert any snipplets from the chat since the chat has been going on for pretty much 24 hours. You can see it in the thread already what he said, and you can also come to discord and visit us.

It's an expensive piece of hardware and also a high end piece of equipment! Do not attempt any hacks or tinkering with it. At least not for now! There are endless rootless opportunities. The s7 and s8 sub are full with guides, solutions and experiences and please do your research before you attempt anything you didn't know or do before. I hope this will help you. Glad to help all of you with questions regarding antything. Also note that this phone will cost 4 digits somewhere, and not all can afford buying several such things. For the sake of not loosing your money, please think twice before doing anything.

TL;DR: Somebody attempted to root his s8 and is now stuck with a very expensive paperweight. He followed a YouTube video blindly and ended up with Knox tripped and phone having issues with boot. Please don't do this. #Research before you attempt anything and, at least for now, don't attempt to root your s8.

So thats a story  please please dont go ahead and do something if you have not done any research about it..or just go to XDA forums which has legit developers and so much people to ask for some Advice.
