The age-old tradition of rooting Samsung’s latest flagship continues. In this case, it’s the Galaxy Note8, and it took developers about a month. For some perspective, that’s much less time than we had to wait for root on the Galaxy S8 and S8+. Based on this progression, I predict that the next Samsung flagship should be rooted just a bit before it is released. /s
The Note8 is rootable via XDA member me2151’s SamFAIL utility, and (as you’d expect) there are plenty of caveats.
SamFAIL roots Snapdragon Galaxy Note8 without tripping Knox was written by the awesome team at Android Police.
