Ah, but it isn't. There's this very particular thing I need from the native feature. That thing is that, when you swipe up to reveal the navigation bar, that swipe is not detected by the app in the background. Using things like Custom Navbar or similar to hide the navbar, that swipe up to reveal the navbar is detected by the background app and scrolls the app or activates a button or some other thing that I don't want to happen. Maybe picky of me, but custom ROMs on Nexus/unlocked devices up til now have me spoiled so I can't deal with a hidden navbar unless the background app/UI doesn't register that swipe up to reveal the navbar.

So, that being said, anyone else have any other answers? Can the native hidden navbar be obtained by flashing a newer system.img file?

Well, I gotten pass the final all thanks to the provided file. Drivedroid does not work which is a shame.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] xDMONEYx:
This is fantastic news, thanks! One other follow-up question is, theoretically as long as I run the wipe action in Flashfire before flashing the img and the CSC systemroot ZIP, I should be able to do this from my current rooted state and not do the WHOLE process over again, correct?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] Kemosabe603:
My bad: I should've been more specific...I have Verizon and the the last four of my current build is AQG4. I would like to know if the root process would work on this build number?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] xDMONEYx:
Since you are flashing a whole different firmware to get root, you can do this from any firmware at this point.

Anyone have a decent notification blocker for these notifications? I tried NotificationOff from play store but you need to start it up after reboot and it always seems to doze and stop working even if I make it an exception in the doze settings in TouchWiz

Success. Currently setting my device back up AGAIN. Bringing me back to the Nexus 6P days of setting my phone up multiple times in a couple days' time period. Kinda hate it, but kinda love it, haha! Thanks again for the reassurance, I was pretty sure I would be good, but doesn't hurt to doublecheck.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] boostnek9:
Before I finished step 2, I had this too. You certain you did it correctly?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] Interceptor777:
Yes, only difference I used the CSC file instead of HOME_CSC in the last step because it wouldn't work otherwise.

EDIT: I rooted before OP was updated so assume with the old instructions.

Last step said that the CSC may not work after flashing the updated firmware in flashfire and to just flash home CSC with Odin to fix it. Home CSC did nothing so I tried normal CSC and it worked.

Could I flash the system img through flash fire again and be complete stock with root again? Want to trouble shoot why my phone app stoped working
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] boostnek9:
Yes but I'd wipe as well. If you don't chances are your issue will remain.

just know that you'll need to start over installing all your apps though.

I'd reflash the systemroot.zip too to be safe.

I looked all over when I made my Tmo S8 plus Stock Odex Rom. I have not found the files. Can u please let me know which folder.

1st it used to be in features.xml then I got it it work in others.xml. And I couldn't find the csc folder when I made the rom.

I haven't rooted yet, been following everything for months and heard about the kernel, that I think I can only use dm-verify and forceencrypt disabled..

I have to do the kernel over in the kitchen to fix that.

My eyes are kind of buggy since yesterday, I laid on the floor and put 2 sunglasses and was recording for about 40 mins. Have a headache too.

We heard the news not to look up, just like here.. no one pays to much attention to the OP.. haha

After my mom's surgery 2morrow to remove cancer, she should be back home in 2 days then rooting for me begins.

Starting to think maybe you should include part 2 in the part 1 directions to save yourself a few headache. I think alot of people's issues would be gone if they followed through with the whole process..just my 2 cents

I can confirm flashing any system.img.ext4 file and then the root/csc file in the OP works. I did this while already rooted and on the original OP firmware (before update) I flashed the qg1 (att) firmware with the July security patch. Kinda sucks I lost the hide nav bar function tho. I guess I'll get it back when I'm able to download the August update. I heard it was part of that update

I went through this the second time earlier with the new write up and was successful. Thank you for everything. I also have a question. When flashing with FF (flash fire) when we want to flash let's say arise sound mod. Do we check Mont r/w? Or auto mount? And do we do this for each flash when flashing with FF?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] hazmad:
I get that too, but then hit ok and everything keeps working. so "adb devices" doesn't work after you hit ok?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] Wacky2bakky:
ok ya'll need some assistance. I read the instructions as well as watched the video rootjunky posted. I have everything needed downloaded already on my laptop. Started off flashing the modified firmware in the first step. Phone rebooted into stock recovery and chose to restart the phone. My next process was to skip through the setup and get to the home screen to make sure i have usb debugging enabled again after flashing the firmware so i can use the adb methods next. Well during the setup, it requested i sign in with my gmail used on this phone. Go fig, i forgot my password and had to reset it. Now it wont let me pass that screen because my password was just reset. I cant wait 24 hrs to try again. What options do i have to get around this so i can get my phone to the the homescreen to finish rooting? i know ive done bypassing on s7 before in the past. PLEASE HELP ANYONE!!!
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] partcyborg:
I hit this too. Apparently the partition size in the VZW CSC package is setup this way.

Unfortunately you will have to wipe and start over. Next time flash the HOME_CSC instead of the CSC and you will have a full size data partition.

BTW are you having screen goes tinted green/brightness issues occasionally? Also what specific firmware did you flash?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] shagy38:
Yeah I had to start over all fixed now
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] elliwigy:
you need to wipe, flash system img and then add csc root zip in ff.. so basically yes, just start with step 2 ff portion of instructions
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] partcyborg:
What did you do to fix?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] elliwigy:
cant use a custom kernel on locked bootloader device.. itll throw a secure check fail before it even boots
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] elliwigy:
just press ok you should still be able to use adb.. that pops up even on stock unrooted for me soneyimes.. i just ignore it
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] elliwigy:
at end of step 1 it clearly states proceeding is strongly recommended and why, if they choose to not proceed thats on them..

eng firmware might be good for developers wjo want to mess around with it which is why its separated into 2 parts
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] boostnek9:
Ya actually i'd do step 2 entirely.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] elliwigy:
the updated files in post 2 include the hide navbar option as i already stated in a few pages back and even attached screenshots.. not sure why its not working for you if u used the latest files

i always select mount as rw only
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] jrkruse:
People can only be spoon feed so much. The OP job is too get your phone rooted. Once you see that grant supersu dialogue it's up to everyone to figure it out from there. It's not the OP responsibility to get a custom Rom installed or fix battery issue etc. This is just a statement it's not directed to any one person. That being said head over throw the guys a couple bucks for their hard work and take custom rom questions to custom rom threads or start a new thread. I will not answer anymore custom rom questions on this thread. I have a thread ask me there
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] elliwigy:
if you flash the sampwnd firmware package in odin select nand erase all, f reset time, auto revoot, re partition and bootloader update.. then when it boots into stock recivery try performing your wipes (cache and data factory reset) and it should remove the frp.. if not there is some adb commands you can run as the firmware package enables usb debugging by default so u just need to accept it when phone boots up

Edit# sorry quoted wrong person

Device command works and the first command then the popup when doing the adb shell it doesn't do anything.....could it be the files are in the wrong spot...ive erased all files and started over with the new OP files which I thought puts all adb stuff in the folders with the systems spot stuff....

Hey, firstly huge thanks to everyone for this root. Now I can not get past first the first step (this is not my first time rooting) everytime I try to load the BL, AP, CP, CSC into the modified Odin it doesn't load the file like it does for all other odin files I have inputted in the past. It just sort of puts the file in there and there is nothing in the LOG, I can then hook up my s8+ in download mode and press start but it gets to "Setupconnection" and quickly there after fails saying, (Succeeded 0, Failed 1) I cant get past this, I'm using the official Samsung USB cable, I've tried redownloading the firmware file three times, I've reinstalled the Samsung Drivers, and have used numerous different versions of Odin. I've never been stopped in my tracks on the first step of a root lol, any help is appreciated,

-Jared

Edit: was able to get it to work by holding bixby, volume up, and power then selecting go to bootloader, from there it worked. Weird how it wouldnt work if I went straight to download mode..
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] kleen3r:
I am getting frequent crashes after flashing the csc zip. The phone seems to go into a diagnostic mode and says "Subsystem Crashed: Modem". Invalid combination for LTE VCO selection. I think another user reported the same issue but I didn't see a response/fix. I am thinking it has to do with the multi-csc and I should Odin using my stock csc firmware. I downloaded the Sprint firmware to do this but get a mismatch error in Odin. I also tried to extract the cache.ext4 and flash in FlashFire but then I go into a reboot loop. The screen turns on and says something about a new SIM and need to reboot to provision. However, it reboots and goes right back to the same screen.

I think the crashes occur when the LTE signal is weak and switches to 3G. Also, with the current multi-csc, I don't have any Roaming options like I did before. Is this standard. Everything else is running smooth.

Does anyone have a stock Sprint CSC file they can upload that works for them? I have tried a couple of the Sprint firmware on the sammobile site but none work. Also download is very slow on that site.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thank you so much OP and all others who contributed to this project! Hearing that some of the apps (like Samsung apps) have compatibility issues with this Root method, my two questions I have are the following before I do this:

1) can anyone confirm whether the samsung theme engine still works?

2) anyone who was able to install viper sound mod after rooting...is it working fine?

EDIT: looks like for 1) it should be fine since some posts back, someone pointed to this theme:

https://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s8+/themes/theme-bodhisattva-t3652515

EDIT: to clarify for 2), anyone having their vipermod persist ok across reboots without issue? Saw someone mentioned a reboot issue.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] Wacky2bakky:
yeah so ive already flashed sampwnd firmware just cant get pass setup after phone first booted up. Do i need to do this again after getting the locked out for 24 hrs crap or since usb debugging is already enabled with this firmware, what screen can i be on to finish adb commands to get root and everything? i just wanna be able to use my phone again lol
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] partcyborg:
Interesting... I should probably redo mine again (for the 390248390th time) but using that fileset since im getting the green/dark/garbled screen occasionally.

BTW flashing the VZW userdata along with it shouldnt hurt right? I'm weird and am hooked on the settings menu w/ custom shortcuts and different icons and that seems to be the only way to get it...

Pleas help.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] Wacky2bakky:
Ok, so i just went ahead and reflashed the sampwnd firmware package with all the options checked as you stated and after restarting, i performed factory reset and wiped cache. After phone booted up, went through initial phone setup and it still asked for gmail signin and password. Once entering new password, it still says must wait 24 hrs due to password change. Can i still run adb to continue root or no?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] elliwigy:
you are not reading the instructions/op.. start over from scratch.. all the carrier firmwares are the same and are all multi csc so you cant find a sprint only csc....

also no where does instructions say to flash a cache file so not sure where that came about either

if you already went through step 2 then start over at step 2.. take the system img linked in post 2 as well as the add csc systemroot and follow those instructions
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] elliwigy:
if you followed instructions exact you wouldnt be having issues.. read the op, it tells you what to do if you get any type of odin failures

[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] Wacky2bakky:
lol i did reflash the firmware and i get stuck at the google sign in "password has changed, wait 24hrs". is my phone fine to be connected to laptop on that screen and continue on with the root process? will adb recognize the phone being that its not on the home screen? Or is there something else via adb your recommending? Sorry, just trying to get this figured out without having to wait til tomorrow evening to continue

PSA or prepare to get stuck...(don't know if it was mentioned but I entirely missed this)

I think flashfire got updated to .60 yesterday and even with root, your files will never finish loading so you cannot select a file.

Instead of installing from Play store for now...install from here and complete the guide as mentioned.

.59 Flash fire :

Ok. Guess I will start over again. I have been rooted since you first posted with the original files. I posted this issue awhile back but got no response. I then rooted again with your updated instructions and files also. Phone boots fine. It just crashes every now and then out of nowhere.

I thought I read somewhere that it had something to do with the csc. The cache file I mentioned is from inside the csc of the stock Sprint firmware. I flashed that since I couldn't flash the whole csc in odin.

Again, I followed all of the steps from your op exactly and can boot fine. It just crashes out of nowhere and the steps I described above were what I took after I gained root in an attempt to fix the crashes. There is nothing wrong with the steps you posted. It maybe something wrong with my phone.

Thanks for your help.

I hadnt tried the updated files yet. Figure is try the last firmware I was on before I rooted since it seemed tb be the best stock build (performance wise to me) of the last 4 OTAs and to get an idea if its possible to use any firmware. I already have the new files downloaded and in place when I'm ready to tho. Never said they weren't working for me.

Yes double tapped then opened did the first command says 8 files pushed then after that no commands work says not found

Edit* Also has never said 10mb after only 7mb and a couple times 1.3mb... The Op stated it would say 8 pushed 0 skipped etc

Gonna try downloading files again (maybe bad download?)
