I finish part 1 and my phone vibrates like mentionded however when I open flashfire and go to add 'system.img.ext4' it just keeps loading like it cant access my files on my phone.

Yes mine is going into deep sleep, is it a good deep sleep, hell no lol. Stock or rooted these phones do not deep sleep well. Nothing like deep sleep back in the day with the s4 note 2 ect. You used to be able to monitor wake locks in the stock battery usage app but that disappeared with 5.0 loli I believe.

This is a known issue, and has a workaround in the OP.

1. Turn on Airplane mode

2. Remove FF from SU

3. Turn off phone

4. Reboot with airplane mode still on

5. Start FF and it should work after.

performance

Yeah, also the Snapdragon 835 (w/Adreno 540 GPU) is the superior CPU in some benchmarks and for battery life. Samsung gave regular US Snapdragon S8 UFS 2.0 storage. US Snapdragon S8+ is UFS 2.1.

From https://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s8/how-to/ufs-2-0-2-1-identify-flash-chip-s8-t3601656/page1

Quote: "Alternatively you can use Androbench to test the speed of your flash chip. For the sequential read speed, I believe that S8 with UFS 2.0 usually fall in 500MB/s range, while those with UFS 2.1 can get close to 800MB/s."

Thanks I just tried it and now FF is taking a long time to acquire root access. Just keeps going around

EDIT:

I went threw all the processes again, part 1 and then when I got to part 2 I tried that and it worked great, Thanks So much!
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] jhofseth:
just gotta play with it

I've completely 2-stage rooted the US Snapdragon S8+ and Samsung Smart Switch copied all apps/media/docs from old phone 5 times (due to further bootloader/other experimentation). FlashFire always works eventually, trust me; it's a pain, but you just gotta play with it. I've re-installed FF, rebooted, updated SU binary, cleared FF storage data, put in airplane mode, opened a different flash utility simultaneously with FF, toggled SuperSU permission for FF, etc. But, the two best are airplane mode and rebooting, I think. :)

Yes you can, I'.

[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] IJoxer:
So, just to be sure everything was still working exactly as the OP intended it to, I flashed back to stock and followed directions as if I only had those to go on, utterly noob status. Not only did I obtain root flawlessly, I did so without airplane mode, alternative files, or any other half ass suggestion being carelessly tossed about.

I'll be flashing the Verizon QGL update when I get home from work. I'd like to add, I somehow managed to stay above 80% battery as well. It's been 3 hours since root, and I'm at 87%. Now I'm curious to see if I can charge back beyond 80% once I pass the threshold.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] jhofseth:
Until a permanent solution is found, only if you reboot into upload (not download) mode and finishing charging there.

Reboot phone to upload mode press power + volume up + volume down until screened goes black after about 20 seconds upload mode will start

Leave on this screen another 20 to 30 min

To get out of upload mode press and hold the power + volume up + volume down until you see s8 screen

You will have 100 percent battery the hillbilly way.

BTW, airplane mode and rebooting may also be 'half-ass' suggestions with regard to FlashFire troubleshooting in a temporarily unstable situation, but they actually work and [MENTION=3812611]elliwigy[/MENTION] has likewise recommended them.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] criswellc90:
If you read through earlier posts, you'll see one of the devs has Verizon, so the answer is yes. Read through the whole thread.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] IJoxer:
If I'm not mistaken, after root, it immediately drops you below 80%, it did me the first time.

As for the half ass remark, I didn't mean to directly imply those were the workarounds I was referring to. Those are obviously harmless and they get the job done. I was more leaning towards the 18 different supersu files and 21 different firmware files being tossed around, something that'll have a beginner bricking their phone and cluttering the thread even further with "please help me posts.

My apologies if I came off harsh, not my intention, this thread has just gotten out of control with laziness. Almost to the point of needing a clean slate, in my opinion.

Miracast build.prop solution

It did after I first added the line at the very end below

ro.expect.recovery_id=

But, when I used a build.prop editor and added a line near the other two wfd settings, this line fixed Miracast (rebooted after):

wlan.wfd.hdcp=disable

So, the three things I did differently were:

1) build.prop editor instead of ES File Explorer text editor

2) directly edited file instead of replacing file (permissions could have been messed up)

3) added line near other two wfd settings instead of at very end below the ro.expect.recovery_id= line

Specifically, I used BuildProp Editor by JRummy Apps, and pressed the pencil icon to edit like a text file (i.e., my personal preference). So, I guess two stage rooting + restoring backup for the 5th time (due to bootloader/other experiments) was worth it to learn two valuable lessons:

--how specifically you edit/save a build.prop file can cause a fatal boot-loop

--and of course the Miracast solution: wlan.wfd.hdcp=disable :)

Not sure if this will help with the 80% issue or not, but I thought I'd post it none the less.

I bought a Zero Lemon extended battery (it's essentially a HUGE case with a battery inside of it). I noticed that after I installed it on my Verizon S8+ for about an hour the percentage moved to 81%.

Not sure how or why this happened, but wanted to let people know in case this helps.

Have a blessed day everyone!
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] TT_Vert:
It does NOT immediately drop below. It'll gradually drop and then never charge beyond 80 again.

[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] IJoxer:
Ah, well my mistake, I flashed the first time at 96% and immediately after boot it was at 79%. I thought I'd read others referring to similar incidents.

Another note, and don't ask me how, as I'd never seen th8s mode before, but after installing flashier, I went to Supersu and updated the binary, as I was asked to disable Knox I simply waited without choosing an option and within 30 seconds I received a random reboot. It sent me to upload mode I believe, saying "User press power for 7 seconds", which did nothing. So I rebooted using the standard download mode key combination, restarted, then booted back up and disabled Knox. I'm still in what it says is manual mode, which gives me detailed hardware information during the initial black Samsung boot screen. Other than that, I don't notice any difference, phone is running great, even better than the first time.

Haven't had time to look into it, any idea what this whole manual mode is?

So I attempted jrkruse's hillbilly method of getting the battery above 80% I left it in upload mode for a bit longer than 30 minutes, but it only had 86% juice, and it was NOT permanent. It immediately started dropping to 80%, even while plugged in, and has NOT gone above 80% since.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] elliwigy:
i have no idea as i never use it and probably never will lol.. its not that simple, some of these apps cannot be modified as they are signed.. remember, they are essenrially banking apps so would be surprised if someone could just edit it and have it still work the same..

only hope is to somehow disable root on the device itself or hide it so the app doesnt detect the root

i am sure if someone finds a fix theyll post it

ive never heard of a phone "unrooting" all on its own.. you have to have done something to unroot..

I was able to charge to 100% but once it's under 80% you have to do it over to get it back to 100% not a huge deal but useless phone for about 45 minutes

Also, I managed to get snapchat working on my phone too!

I rooted my old note 4, installed titanium backup pro, made a back up of Snapchat (data only), sent it to my s8+ and then I imported the backup using titanium backup pro again and tada I'm good to go!

Just FYI do not sign out from the 2nd device as it'll sign you out from both, since it's my old phone I don't mind having both phones signed in, but you can freeze the app and it'll work just fine, also don't uninstall as that would most likely get you signed out and you'd have to do everything, including unrooting and rerooting to be able to sign in, hope this helps

You are correct. Thanks for having my back.

This is why I debated not even posting this method. I guess I needed too spell it out. Yes your phone will charge to 100 percent but once rebooted and phone is backup and running your battery will drain down to 80 percent rather it's plugged in or not. This method is not a permanent fix it has to be done anytime you want a 100 percent charge. It's only a ducted tape up solution to a problem since the phrase hillbilly fix!

[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] hazmad:
I don't think he's on his high horse. He's just irritated that he has to keep repeating himself. either way, it's not worth arguing over.

the hillbilly method (I like to call it "ghost charging") overrides the 80% charge limit. then when you go back to system, it won't maintain it, and probably fudges your actual displayed percentage until you discharge <= 80%.

Read the OP, it specifically mentions SYSTEMLESS root DOES not work...

Sorry for this following statement..but maybe we need a restriction on who can comment on here by senior member, etc...I'm seeing a lot of the same questions asked that were clearly answered in OP. [MENTION=3812611]elliwigy[/MENTION] in my opinion is dealing with something rather infuriating, pretty well.

Final warning to those not reading the OP fully...you're going to brick. We don't have an unlocked bootloader so our recovery is limited to a few utilities like Odin, etc. Treat this rooting method like you would any thing you'd take seriously, because IT IS serious. And if you mess up, your warranty is already gone. You're out a very expensive phone, you lose any thing you haven't backed up, and you're out the money you paid for it if you did buy the phone.

My apologies for flying off the handle, but all these useful posts and people helping are effectively being drowned out by re-asked questions and it is simply upsetting. Thank you.

TL;DR : Look at what you're doing fully, and read the OP until it becomes understandable to you. If it isn't, you aren't ready to progress. Take your time...and read. Final warning to those being careless.
