I have a galaxy s 8 and I was wondering if i could get my previous alarm tone from my galaxy note 4. Does anyone know how to do that?

Well this is odd. I thought for sure you'd be correct about if the sound was a stock tone, you'd need root access it.I assume this is a stock tone rather than one you added? If so then I think you'll need root to copy it, as it will be in the ROM.
If you download a custom ROM based on the stock software (so not an AOSP ROM) to a computer and unzip it you'll probably find it in there - I'd look in /system/media/audio/alarms as my first guess.
I have been doing transfers of ringtones/notification sounds this way since having my 1st smartphone - a Blackberry Storm. That was a revolutionary phone of it's time I must say because they nixed that stupid tiny keyboard which I never understood how anyone could use.Fascinating. I was able to do the same using X-Plore on my unrooted Note tablet. I wonder whether that's a Samsung thing, but haven't any unrooted devices from other manufacturers I can test with (but am used to being asked for root permissions when a file explorer wants to look at anything outside the user storage).
Well that does make it a lot easier!

From there, I went over to the HTC Droid Incredible, Galaxy S3, Note 3, and S5, all of which allowed selecting .mp3 or .ogg files to be copied, emailed as attachment and saved to phone. The other way was to use Kies and access the files through USB to copy to PC then paste to a Micro SD which you needed to create the respective media>ringtones/notifications folder/subfolders. The phone would then include them as choices automatically even though they are on the external memory. I still have a few fairly old sounds I've liked to this day.
I wonder if they could be transferred using NFC and S Beam activated?
Another non Samsung here, can also do itI wonder whether that's a Samsung thing, but haven't any unrooted devices from other manufacturers I can test with
My phone doesn't have NFC, but the options available to transfer are email, Bluetooth, and texting.I wonder if they could be transferred using NFC and S Beam activated?
You know this jogged my memory that way back this was close to being true because Verizon and I believe the other BIG BOY carriers were trying to make us buy ringtones from them so you couldn't just select a stock ringtone and email it.I thought for sure you'd be correct about if the sound was a stock tone, you'd need root access it.
Great, now I got that song stuck in my head, thanks.You know this jogged my memory that way back this was close to being true because Verizon and I believe the other BIG BOY carriers were trying to make us buy ringtones from them so you couldn't just select a stock ringtone and email it.
Other than rooting, the only way was to connect your phone via USB and you were then able to access your files either by Kies for Samsung or my HTC Incredible was simply recognized as another drive to easily access the sound files to allowing you to copy/paste onto the micro SD with an SD adapter on your PC. Yeah, there was always talk that they were going to lock us out from doing so but nobody was really buying into their ringtones scheme so they killed that monkey and the show ended.
"Those were the days my friend, I thought they'd never end....."![]()
Yeah, LOL - that is one of those haunting tunes.Great, now I got that song stuck in my head, thanks.![]()
A true love relationship for sure! It was the phone of it's day that gave those Moto's a run for the money!HTC Incredible eh? Sweet!
LMAO!flashed, bricked, unbricked, fixed, broke, reroot, you name it...it was awesome!![]()
Even if he/she doesn't get back here, it was fun to do some reminiscing.I hope the OP returns to let us know if the suggestions worked!
