As with any ROM, by flashing you choose to enable these modifications on your device.
Your warranty will be gone and Knox will be tripped. I am not responsible for any damage caused
or problems encountered by your use of this firmware.
All builds I upload have been tested on my personal phone.
Any issues with TWRP should be asked in the TWRP thread.
Before proceeding, please create a backup of your /data/ partition using TWRP or by copying the files into some other external storage medium (USB, PC, cloud etc).

I have a big problem to boot into recovery mode "only official release binaries are allowed to be flashed"

Your rom is awesome, will you continue updating the rom with newer samsung firmwares in the future?

Is the OEM unlock option enabled in your developer settings? (This unlocks the bootloader). If the bootloader is locked, you won't be able to flash TWRP. See this post on the TWRP thread for the full install instructions.

Yes, I'll continue to update the ROM with each monthly update from Samsung. I'll be adding more features in the future too. Glad that you like it

Are GApps included in this?

---

Okay so I'm a bit of a noob at all of this, in fact this will be the first rom I'll be flashing on my device. So I am a bit confused, do I need to root my phone before installing the zip through TWRP? I am asking because every tutorial says I need to however listed in your features is that it is alreay rooted. Sorry and thank you.

No problem, happy to help. The part about rooting in the S8 TWRP thread is if you want to root the stock firmware. If you want to install this ROM (Altitude) then you'll need to do a full wipe from TWRP, and install the zip from the "Install" menu. Once it's finished, you can reboot and Altitude will be installed with root.
Make sure you've got either a G950F or G950FD, and don't forget your warranty will be voided after doing all this, so Samsung Pay etc. won't work even if you go back to stock.

When I try to boot up my phone it says Verification failed and it tells me I need to factory reset. Even after agreeing to it, boots up to the same screen. What do I do?
