How To Root And Install TWRP Samsung Galaxy S8 / S8+Samsung Galaxy S8 is a high-end smartphone that has a myriad of features that may not be found on other smartphones. One of the main features of this phone is that it uses dual cameras on the back, which are 12 and 9 megapixels respectively, and can record 4K video with a resolution of 2160p @ 30fps- 1080p @ 60fps. This is the third Samsung product to use a dual-camera after the Samsung Galaxy Note 8 and J7 Plus. The front camera is no less powerful, which is 8 megapixels and capable of recording video up to a resolution of 1440p @ 30fps.

On the screen, Samsung has also pinned its flagship screen, the 5.8-inch Super Amoled with a resolution of 1440 x 2960 pixels (5: 9 ratio) and a density of ~ 570 ppi. In addition, to make this screen even more complete, a protection called Corning Gorilla Glass 5 is also embedded which can protect it from sharp scratches and is resistant to impact.

Even so, some of the users must have felt that the interface still needed to be modified or even the speed needed to be improved again. But to do this, of course, users need to get full/complete/absolute access to this cellphone by rooting. Now to root yourself there are many ways you can do, including rooting via TWRP ( SuperSU ), via ODIN ( CF Auto Root ) and Using Kingroot ( without a computer ) .

  6. Download no-verity-opt-encrypt.zip and MagiskRoot then move them to the external memory (SD Card) of the phone.

Urgent!Before starting the process, I suggest doing a FULL BACKUP , be it the Android Operating System or other important data. Because if something goes wrong, then you can restore / restore it to its original state.

Step # 2. Enable / Enable OEM Lock and USB Debugging first by:

Step # 4. Connect the phone to the PC / Laptop using a USB cable then continue by opening the ODIN application on the computer by right clicking and selecting ” Run as Administrator “.

Step # 5. Click on the AP section and look for the TWRP file that you downloaded earlier. Then press and hold the ” Bixby + Power + Volume Up button”on the cellphone (don’t remove it until the TWRP installation process is complete) then click Start and wait for the installation process to finish.

Note : Do not release the” Bixby + Power + Volume Up ” button , before your cellphone is actually on the TWRP menu. remove it, then TWRP installation will likely fail.
