Can you share the fix ? I have searched the forum but no luck.

Also, I find an issue that you can't switch CROM off if you have a higher version than SM-G9500ZHU1AQEE on Hong Kong S8 G9500, it must on AQEE firmware, then you can flash Chinese S8 firmware G9500ZCU1AQF7 for unlocking bootloader. Hong Kong S8 CROM service only turns OFF on Chinese G9500ZCU1AQF7 firmware.

I want to flash US stock firmware because of the new update support Google Daydream view. But there's no schedule for the rest places of the US. Unfortunately, have bought one already.

:(:(:(

[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] twiice:
Found it here if you just wanna look at the features:

If you think some kind Dev might adjust it[har har] I could upload it somewhere. 2.11G though.

Any thoughts?

Thanks for the link, unfortunately I can't download it.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] suzook:
If you can upload it, I have a few things I want to try. Could benefit us.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] twiice:
Yep, sure! Actually, it was difficult to download because they required registration, but weren't accepting new members; took me ages to get it.

I'll look around for a file host and upload it ASAP.

That would be good, but I've only seen one person show interest in it and he's(?) apparently "done with this crap".

[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] twiice:
Sure, I'll get it done, Joe. Until then maybe V-tunes can work sth out. Some people don't realize how bad the internet is over here with all the filtering and blocking(incoming&outgoing).

Oh nice good to know! I still need to tinker with getting full Verizon lte speeds
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] live_0978:
So the strangest thing happened..

An OTA came through that updates our SM-G9550 Hong Kong to G9550ZHU1AQG6, I thought oh what the heck there's nothing happening in development for our device anyway and so I applied the update, then just for the fun of it I had another go with the CROM 1.06 and, to my surprise it worked! No need to flash the Chinese firmware, just apply the FIRMWARE UPDATE which has the August security patch, run CROM and enjoy your UNLOCKED BOOTLOADER!
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] suzook:
I wonder if this will eliminate the issue of keeping the Chinese BL to prevent the FRP lock. Will check tonight, and report back.

That did not work, and I may be stuck on latest FW, with NO root...UGH.

[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] twiice:
Took a few hours(and a new Firmware has arrived in the meantime), but here it is [Aurora ROM v2.0]: (Deleted: v2.0 superceded by 3.0)

I assume it's the same as the original version we have here, but with some Chinese apps thrown in and the Aurora settings menu being in Chinese.

Anyway, almost midnight here, early work tomorrow. If any problems let me know.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] suzook:
Thanks so much! DL now. BTW, as for the reason of needing chinese BL in order to avoid frp lock, I believe it has to do with no google play on chinese rom.

AND.....I cant get google play on this rom to install
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] twiice:
I never tried doing that at the time, but there seems to be a few guides for installing it on other Chinese devices/ROMS such as this one: http://en.miui.com/thread-484491-1-1.html

[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] kjames2001:
Thanks for the re-upload, but I don't really want the Rom, I'm interested in the kernel. From the screen shots I can see there's a aurora kernel that comes with the room. Do you think it would be compatible with Magisk? Or is it just the one with supersu embedded?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] MAX 404:

SuperSU with this kernel. Haven't tried with magisk. There's another as well that Joemill reupped[tomatolei] They could be the same though... see: https://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s8/sam...snapdragon-t3636718/post73435240#post73435240
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] kjames2001:
If it's from tomatolei, then it's the same one with supersu. And it doesn't work with Magisk. Thanks man.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] suzook:
I was running the custom Chinese rom for a day. Ran nicely, with some extra goodies, but unfortunately substratum doesn't work properly. Whatever it themes, does not survive a reboot for whatever reason.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] twiice:
As I was doing a scan of my system[PC], Kaspersky antivirus flagged a file in the ROM as a Trojan.

I couldn't find much information on it except this: https://www.avira.com/en/support-threats-summary/tid/144609/threat/

Even using Baidu I couldn't find anything about it(casual search)

Any ideas about this?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] suzook:
Typical for foreign ROMs. It could be spyware. I am back to Chinese rom, uninstalled most of the Chinese apps, as I won't use them. I discovered in the rom control using Google translate there is a tab to enable Google apps. Wondering if it installs all apps for play store??? I already have play store installed, and have substratum running properly. All seems ok. It's too bad we can't get someone to change the app for customizations to be in English. I think with the activity here there are about 4 people in the world with this phone.....Lol. Not sure what has happened to [MENTION=6371894]jesec[/MENTION] but I'm sure he could cook us up an awesome ROM.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] twiice:
Haha, yeah that's was I was thinking...what a fanbase... It wouldn't take much tinkering though.

V3.0 has been released: based on: G9550ZCU1AQH6

I'll upload it soon..

Here's the thread for this ROM supporting EXYNOS devices: https://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s8/sam...s-device-development/rom-aurora-v3-0-t3640249

Not much activity for it in the thread either, but it's all we have (apart from the other ROM tomatolei is selling) - still trying to find out more about it.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] suzook:
Wow, would appreciate the Upload. I am really liking the ROM. Thanks. Appreciate it.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] twiice:
How about I just pull the Aurora settings APK, translate it and pop it back in? I didn't have a long look around in the ROM. Have you noticed any other menus or such in Chinese?

Or even pull the Aurora settings from Aurora_G95XX_8895_QF7_V3.0-RC1.zip[EXYNOS] (already translated to English) and put it in our ROM zip, flash it and hope it's the same..lol.

After all, that ROM is based on the source code from the originals I'm uploading.

The only other thing chinese is the reboot menu when you choose recovery, soft reboot or download mode. Not a big deal. I will try pulling the apk from the exynos rom. I will report back. Thanks for the upload!

EDIT....Pulled the apk, replaced it, its still Chinese

2nd EDIT...I am a dumbass and pulled the apk from the original ROM...LMAO. I have english Aurora Rom control! Thanks for the tip!

how to make aurora setting in english.. i am install the apk and it was on.chinesse
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] suzook:
That's what I did. There is an option in Aurora settings, I attached photo, but didn't try it.

You need to extract the English Aurora settings.apk from the other Aurora thread., And overwrite the existing one, and give it proper permissions.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] kjames2001:
Lol, I thought that there's a hidden switch in settings, which after you flip, google play will be installed by itself. ? I already have Google apps up and running. All I ever did was install google play apk, and it tells me what other apks are needed, and I just download them. My only problem with google apps is Fit is not able to use location, but everything else is working just fine.

Edit, I see that there is a switch in Aurora settings. Maybe I should give it w try, but does the apk work without flashing the whole ROM?

[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] SICKNOSIS:
Hi all, I have the UK variant of the phone I believe this is the international version (G950F) (Snapdragon), I have unlocked the bootloader by turning on the OEM option in settings and also have enabled USB debugging. I skipped the PRE section from the instructions and started at part 1. Once I reach step 8 in Part 1 I just get the samsung screen constantly boot looping with Recovery is not seandroid enforcing in red at the top. I can still go into download mode, but can't boot as normal can someone let me know what I did wrong and how to rectify this issue?

[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] suzook:
If the device had Chinese fw, and you flash hk fw, it will frp lock. Flash back to Chinese fw, and manually install Google play. Then sign into play. There are issues with frp lock between different fw.

[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] suzook:
Sounds like you may have bricked it. There are issues going between Chinese and hk firmware. It's has nothing to do with frp lock. Phone thinks so due to going from hk to Chinese, or vice versa.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] Cameron581:
It lets me boot just not log into my google account, plus i had seen [MENTION=385737]Alcibiade[/MENTION] had this issue once before just he never talked about a solution...
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] suzook:
I'm confused. You can boot to os? On what fw? Chinese, or hk?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] Cameron581:
So I can boot HK firmware and get to the point of Google account but that's where I literally get an frp lock and I can't Odin because of the frp issue.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] suzook:
So you can't sign into Google on the hk firmware? I believe this happened because you went from cn fw to hk fw.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] ibestmodez:
because you cant login on google account thats why you got frp lock

Guys, I have an s8+ g9550. The first time I followed all the procedure that Jesse wrote and the recovery got succesfully installed, but when I tried to install the Jesse Kernel to achieve root the phone got stuck in "set warranty bit: kernel", so I reinstalled the stock rom with Odin. Now I want to try again, so I have installed TWRP with the dm-verity and force encryption disabler but I don´t know what should I do now, should I try to install the Jesse kernel again via twrp? or should I install Cameron Kernel? The Cameron kernel should be installed via Odin or how? I have the AQG6 rom. Any help would be fine, thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] Cameron581:
So Cameron kernel isn't really useful since magisk 14.2 addressed it's bootloop issue. So just flash magisk 14.2 honestly, there is no real need for a custom kernel atm and was only developed to allow for magisk to work.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] jujomar:
So if I flash Magisk 14.2 directly the phone will be rooted?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] Cameron581:
Yeah should be.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] jujomar:
Yeahh it worked, thank you very much
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] Cameron581:
No problem. Working on LOS bring up if you didn't have the time to read. Started work on the vendor and proprietary files hopefully should be done by tomorrow on that. Then I have a few odds and ends like board config and thermal files and lastly init files and then I can see if it boots :) granted nothing will probably work for a few weeks but hey!
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] jujomar:
Gratefull of your work, but now I´ve restarted the phone and got stuck in a screen that says "Custom binary(root) Blocked By FRP Lock
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] Cameron581:
Ah not too terrible so long story short HK bootloader has a FRP 'sensor' If you would and it triggers and forces you to flash factory image and resetup the phone. Quickest and easiest way to avoid this would be to flash the Chinese g9550's bootloader as it doesn't have frp on it but you'll have to flash the HK firmware first to unlock frp
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] Alcibiade:
Thanks indeed it works.

It's concerning however. AQG6 ROM SecurityLogAgent detects something wrong once we have rooted (Which AQF7 didn't. I have tried both)

Then reverts something (I suppose at the boot image level) and at the next reboot you get stuck by FRP lock. Indeed using he Chinese bootloader we're good and dont get blocked there. Nevertheless it's pretty worrying about what we may find in the next update... We could end up with more drastic issues.

---------- Post added at 03:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:16 PM ----------

Try Cameron solution it works (But first you will have to reflash your HK ROM to get through, which means losing your data)

You will nee to disable SecurityLogAgent with TitaniumBackup or Package disabler to avoid getting ll the time the message "Unauthorized actions have been detected. Restart your device to undo any unauthorized changes" inviting you to reboot...

Samsung seems to have upped the game with AQG6. What a pain... Attaching a screenshot of the nasty thing...

Edit: I can confirm TitaniumBackup nukes it well (Jut uninstall the SecurityLogAgent). So far without any issues
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] jujomar:
Okey, so the rom I have installed is the one indicated in the photo. Now I´m with the Stock rom without any modifications, so now wich rom do I have to download? The one below? The open china AQF7? That´s my doubt. Once I download the rom I suppose that I have to install the BL part via Odin right?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] Cameron581:
Yup you're on the right path!

---------- Post added at 01:18 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:46 PM ----------

Wait the open China one not the Hong Kong sorry didn't see the picture.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] jujomar:
So with the HK rom installed, I have to install the BL via Odin from the Open China rom right?

By the way, I didn´t know that someone was working on LOS for Snapdragon S8+, where can I follow the progress? I thought that only Fevax was working in an Exynos LOS.
