Anyone have a link to viper4a that works on this ?

"Then flash the eng firmware and root", is there specific files that I should be flashing in ODIN?

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] Bsober:
Okay. I forgot about a lot of the perks of a rooted rom. Pretty nice for sure.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] Tygir:
I did follow your instructions as you posted them, twice, but I'm still getting the no screen rotation. Not sure what's going on. Can you think of anything else?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] jrkruse:
No lag in these
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] jrkruse:
Can anyone else confirm no screen rotation. I'm running something in testing but I never noticed it not working. You are flashing this on s8+ correct?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] Tygir:
Yes, Verizon S8+ I followed the instructions in the OP. I have not tried the stock ROM, just the play store version. I am going to try that shortly. Tried the factory reset from recovery mode and still nothing.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] sabresfan:
No problem with screen rotation running play store rom

Yes. Not setting up as a new phone. Might that be it?

Whatever happened to that Batman ROM port that pimperton was talk bout couple weeks back.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] Tygir:
I attempted another fresh install of the Playstore ROM. After Flashfire does it's thing and resets the phone, I got a "Upload Mode Kernel Panic!" black screen. No idea what this is, never seen it before. It says,

"Panic caller : subsystem_ramdump+0x0/0x80"

"Panic Msg : subsys-restart: Resetting the SoC - slpi crashed."

I noticed if I volume down/power it would restart fine the second time. Any ideas? Could this be my issue?

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] Tygir:
So I started from the absolute beginning with the SamPWND root, then flashed your Playstore ROM last. Everything is working perfectly now! Maybe something was corrupt? Not sure. I appreciate the help [MENTION=1949695]jrkruse[/MENTION] and others! Loving the Samsung-less Playstore ROM!

It also seems like cloud printing and USB tethering are broken. I have tried a few different things such as powering both devices on and off, using different cables concerning the tethering. I have tried uninstalling Google cloud printing and reinstalling bit nothing. I also went through the permissions. Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Anyone gotten PlayStation 4 remote play working with this ROM?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] pr1m317:
On Xfinity, Playstore rom works great, the others however all cause setup wizard to force close. QH3 Stock, AQI6 from other thread being the others. Any ideas or is anyone else having this issues? Ive tried both methods listed in op for U1 firm
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] Wired0980:
PS4 remote play will not work if you are rooted now because of a update on Sony's end. The only way to get it to work is with magisk which doesn't work on snapdragon variants. It's either that or try and move all the files into place then unroot, but i don't think that works either. Maybe someone in the actual PS4 remote play thread can help...

Using Straight Talk SIM?? APN Access?

So I've been using a Straight Talk sim, since day one on stock and it worked fine. But after I installed the playstore rom it wont load the correct APN and the options are greyed out so I can't add them manually. Is there a way around this or am I out of luck? :confused:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] thadialeckt:
Use the rom control app to add your apn settings
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] Nanoman66:
Which option do you use? the ones ive tried send me to the same greyed out options?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] Quickvic30:
When in the APN selection can't you choose add in the upper right corner and just manually enter your APN?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] IJoxer:
I believe that's only available if you use the full XAA ufirm, but apn settings should be filled in automatically with a valid, working sim card, as that's where those settings are pulled from. I'd go with looking at that as a possibility, or starting over and verifying the files, as something was corrupt or a step was done incorrectly. If not, the sim card may not be working properly.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] tjustice86:
Is there a way to get the unread badge on messages or any app for that matter?

Edit: figured it out
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] Wired0980:
Thats weird because all the others work for me on sprint but on playstore and qh3 deodexed the wizard closes and i cant seem to get data. Been trying to pinpoint the problem. No luck so far. Im sure it something stupid that I'm doing lol...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] pr1m317:
Well, between the two of us they work, so it must be something we're doing. THANKS FOR THE REPLY!!!

On Playstore rom what would need to be done to get back the Samsung Camera App, I have an APK for it but there is something that needs to be deleted as there is a package conflict. Any help would be appreciated.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] jrkruse:
My new Odin flashable roms are up. I created a new root thread. These images are prerooted AQI6 firmware and contains all carrier's files. So they should work better for non Verizon carriers. These images can be flashed in Odin or you can just flash system.img tar with flashfire.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] Auzzical:
I have an S8 (not plus), also not getting service on Sprint, says my carrier is "Samsung" with the phone number "000-000-3456"
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] TravG23:
Yea I currently on the FA70 combo firmware with what I believe is the newest update I can be at. I uploaded a screenshot of my specs. Does anyone know of any new links to new stock roms that are compatible with the g-955u/u1
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] Quickvic30:
I would try U1 firmware if I were both of you. You guys are using the CSC file and not the home CSC file when flashing correct? What do your APN settings say?

You can also use shortcut master and try going into preconfig app and make sure they're enabled and working, you can launch that kinda stuff from shortcutaster app.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] TravG23:
Sorry I am actually using Jkruse new QI6 flashable ROM and yes I used the 955U one not the U1. But it didn't update everything when I flashed it so I extracted the 2 .bin files and made them into a tar and flashed them in ap slot in Odin and I then had everything updated to QI6. Everything has been running with no problems. Regular apn settings show in currently using APN2 LTE internet and just below that it says n.ispsn
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] Slim2none4u:
I actually uploaded the 2 files and provided links on that thread.

Only difference is I just used flashfire and all works great.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] Tygir:
Happened again last night. Have been running the Playstore ROM for a few weeks with no issues. Then all of a sudden last night I lost the ability to rotate the screen again. The phone will not auto rotate to landscape view. Tried a factory reset, deleted the cache and nothing. Going to try and run the QI6 ROM and see what happens.

UPDATE: Installed the QI6 ROM with no issues, modem upgraded as well to QI6. Still no screen rotation. I'm at a loss now, no idea what could be causing the no rotation. I'm going to try and return to stock and see what happens.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] Slim2none4u:
Before returning to stock maybe just check settings.

Maybe you turned it off. And I don't mean just this time. If you are resorting app settings from this cloud, that also includes any and all settings. So where it may be working when you first set up your phone, it may then stop after syncing your settings.

I say all this because I see people having rotation issues. I've flashed all of the roms and have yet to have an issue with rotation. That's what leads me to believe there issue is on operator end and not the ROM end.

My 2 cents

Carry on
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] Tygir:
I appreciate the response. I've checked the settings and still nothing. Whenever I do a flash I always set up as a new phone, not restoring anything. Still nothing. When I use the GPS Toolbox app, it doesn't even recognize the sensor for some reason. I would think it's got to be software related, I'm just not sure where. I find it weird that it worked for a few weeks, then stopped. I tried uninstalling any of the apps that I did install to see if it was app related, but still nothing. Just not sure what to do. Thanks for the help though, I appreciate it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] Quickvic30:
Sounds like a sticky sensor to me, when it happens you should see if the sesnor is even functioning or not. I had a couple s7's that had sensor issues, they'd work fine for a while then quit working for a while ect

Your GPS tool not seeing it also is a pretty decent indication something is up with the sensor. Try the compass in the edge app and see if that reads

I'm on the latest firmware rooted thanks to this. Just one question. Will flashing Xposed on this get.me in a bootloaders? Xposed worked for me in all except one stock rooted setup here in XDA. Just wanted to confirm if anybody has setup this on this ROM before j have this a shot. Thank you
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] Slim2none4u:
Go to the official xposed thread and get the latest xposed apk and just install it. There is no "flashing" required. Install apk, then in the apk install the latest xposed for N.

I want to have a stock rom deodexed, So i can use my dex station, . In flashify, so the wipe be before or after flashing the zip?

do i need to add anything else?

thanks let me know

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] TravG23:
I also noticed that my rotation wasn't working so I got on a few apps that had root permission for checking my phone's sensors and every one of them showed only 1 sensor on the phone which is the grip sensor. Nothing else. So I'm guessing something went wrong along the way of flashing. Does anyone have a link for the stock 4 files to flash in odin for the SM-G955U Sprint version. Sorry I know this thread isn't really for that but I've been looking all over the place and I'm getting exhausted. I probably saw it at some point through all of this rooting process since I have been rooted since the first root for our phones came out but can't seem to find them now

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] :
thank you for your work,but, CLEARLY this is not the most informative guide. no wonder i see a lot of people in here having problems. you provide 2 roms with no instructions how to flash the rom??? only the add on features?? maybe you could explain to people so they would better understand. im just giving you a pointer buddy cause when i was reading this i was like ummm so where do we put the deodexed file? what are we supposed to do with it? but luckily im a flash happy person that can figure out. im just looking out for the others. thanks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] jrkruse:
Thanks for the pointer buddy! I guess you were reading more into the instructions than was needed. It tells you to flash the Rom with flashfire. If you can't figure out that you need too copy Rom zip to phone to flash then I'm sorry I thought that was a given. There are 2 flash methods. The first copy the Rom zip to phone and flash with flashfire its that simple . The second where it clearly states alternative flash method and you have too click a box too show it has its own set of instructions and files too download. I apologize buddy that I have 2 methods of install in the OP but this Rom was the first working Rom posted for s8 so the alternative instructions were left for people that had used that method and had those files before things got figured out. When I get a chance I will delete those old instructions
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] :
It wasnt for my direction as i clearly stated i am used to flashing things. hell ive been trying to brick my phone so i can buy a different phone haha. I was just pointing out to you that the people who are new to flashing probably wont understand it, but, i just re-read it and yes it does make sense to us who are used to flashing roms and such. i am running the h3 deodexed rooted with the AQGL baseband and man is this thing smooth. i tried it with the h3 baseband and i was having issues with the screen turning all funky. but its operating better than ever. OH and BTW, that boot animation is on point! it makes the phone more flashy....

Also, I read somewhere in here (the s8/s8+ forums) about your hillbilly rig for charging....i cant seem to find it. ill pm you i have another question maybe some possible help for the battery thing.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] xdanilva:

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] :
Live this from cause its buttery smooth. Only problem I'm experiencing so far is wifi and bluetooth connectivity. I think it's from the H3 baseband. Gonna try another u TIL I get it to work cause I'm enjoying this One right here

I'm using the play store rom and LOVE it, except for the camera. None of the features (slo-mo, burst, etc) work. Auto focus doesn't work and the overall speed is terrible! Are there any fixes for these issues? Can I install the Samsung camera app?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] pr1m317:
Yes, Just take the apk file and drop it into system/app with a root browser then reboot... Unfortunately I haven't figured out how to get the front camera working, everything else does though
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] tjustice86:
Has anyone been able to get all features working with either of the 2 camera apps?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] Quickvic30:
You should try the Google pixel 2 camera thats ported for use on other snapdragon devices such as the s8 and s8+. A simple Google search will pull that is for you or it's over in the s8+ section also.

I've been running this rom for a few weeks now with no problems what so ever. I don't think I've even seen the green dark screen bug once in this time. Just a all around great, fast, smooth running rom.....that's why this thread is so quiet....cause it's too damn good! [emoji12]

Thanks for all your great work [MENTION=1949695]jrkruse[/MENTION] , much appreciated as always.

I'm up for testing stuff out anytime so let me know if I can help out!

So, I've been trying all day to find a way to package and flash the latest update for this phone, QK2. I downloaded the update and extracted the System, Persist and Cache files and Zipped them (i was attempting to do what jkruse did) and flashed it in Flashfire along with the ADD_OMC_SYSTEMROOT file. I am currently on this ROM and it has been flawless. Anyway, its been years since I have owned a Samsung and I was in the mood to mess around. I had a Moto X Pure previously and you could flash anything on that quite easily. Anyway, I flashed the Zip i craeted and it booted fine but I kept getting a "SIM Card Must Be Updated, Reboot" message. So, I dunno. I've been looking for answers but I'm not getting anywhere....

BTW, a BIG THANK YOU to jkruse for putting together these packages! You are literally, The Man for development. Pretty quite around these parts.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] xdanilva:
Don't do it it updates the bootloader and prevents downgrading...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] djcrystals:
Gotcha. Ok, didn't know that. TKS for the heads up.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] IJoxer:
QK2 does, in fact, upgrade the bootloader, [MENTION=1949695]jrkruse[/MENTION] should add this to the OP so people aren't going beyond the point of return. You can identify bootloader changes using the firmwares naming convention, so G955U1UEU2AQK2 has the 5th to last digit at 2, whereas previous firmwares were 1. Just a small bit of helpful information for those who were not aware of this.

This being a U1 rom and using U1 firmware, anything from QK2 and beyond will not be downgradable nor rootable. However, Verizon has released their QK3 firmware for U, which still has the 1st iteration of the bootloader, meaning it is still rootable and downgradable. If you were interested in running jrkruses carrier rom, or just upgrading using the system.img method from samPWND, you'd be just fine (according to the firmware naming convention, obviously circumstances are always able to vary and results may vary (they shouldn't but this is basically my "I'm not responsible..." warning)).

I'll likely be giving it a shot later, simply because I've got an itch to flash something new and get a nice, fresh start. I still haven't checked out the O beta everyone seems to be trying, I'm curious if it's rootable, and if so, is jrkruse working on a rom for it or (more likely) waiting for an official release? If it's rootable, I wouldn't mind throwing a quick little something together, if for anything but to make it more convenient to get it up and running.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] xdanilva:
It's probably going to be only one fw getting root and the other isn't as oreo has security patches and stuff
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] djcrystals:
Thanks for all the feedback. I'm relatively new to the Samsung game. I was spoiled by the Moto X Pure. The bootloader was unlockable and I could use it on Verizon. My last Galaxy was the III and there was quite a bit of freedom with that device as well. I did flash the System IMG for QK2 with only the SIM Card issue being the problem. Flashed back no jkruse's without issue. I really just wanna mess around but I need to do some more reading up on everything. If anyone has any luck with QK3, keep us in the loop!
