It's not an account that you add. It's the first line under the cloud and accounts pane called multi-line settings. If you don't see it then you didn't flash the TMO CSC.

Just returned to stock to get the latest OTA (ATT) . Ive downloaded the OTA and I'm trying to see if i can pull the update from the device. anyone know where the file is located? Its not in /cache like the old days. I did pull files from another directory just to make sure the pull command was actually working in adb and it is.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] Quickvic30:
I know there is no this over in the ATT s8 threads but I forget exactly where they're located. Easiest way to find them would be download a file explorer, open, go into device and search the words OTA or the Build # and it should bring up the ota path. I use the paid version of es file explorer.

What is the build number on the ota?

Cool,i appreciate that
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] AKETech:
Question for you. So I have seen different information here and just want to make sure if I decide to do this, that I am doing it correctly. I have downloaded my firmware from Sam Mobile, extracted the files, used 7-zip to extract the files from the AP file, and found the system.img.ext4 in there. Do I just put that on my internal storage, and Flash with FlashFire, or do I need to rename a file and then flash it to get back to my stock image with root. I saw a post a page or 2 after this stating that you had to rename a file from an .md5 to a .tar ect... Just wondering how I exactly go about this process if I wanted to. Everything seems to be working great the way it is, but didn't know if there was something I'm missing, or something to be gained by flashing my system.img.ext4 rather than staying with this one. Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] TT_Vert:
The only time you should have to rename an md5 to tar (remove the .md5 extension) is when flashing in odin and only if you continually get file dismatch errors.. I had to do that in order to flash my CSC and CP files AFTER i updated to QGL. So for now put the system.img in external or internal sd (I've done both successfully) and flash w/ flashfire. Make sure to also flash the correct superuser zip file as in the instructions in step 2. If you have sprint and want to use calling plus you NEED QGL. I cannot comment on the changes for other carriers.

"Hi Teddy, so I have a huge problem that I hope you can fix, I thought it might of just been my car charger but now I am home and the wall charger will not work as well ?

[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] TT_Vert:
I had a Note7 do this. I don't recall what app it was but one app was causing it. It would only charge when screen was on. I think you need to systematically go through and disable apps to see which may be causing it. It may have been a battery or app battery drain monitoring app.

Some Snapdragon owners with *unlocked* bootloaders tried to use SamPWN Firmware

I read through the entire S8/S8+ Snapdragon TWRP thread (yes, I know only Chinese & Hong Kong ones can use it). The one thing that caught my attention was this QUOTE on page 38 of that thread:

I was trying to do the opposite in getting a Snapdragon S8+ Chinese or Hong Kong bootloader, but even if I could successfully flash that unlockable bootloader, sanity checks would prevent the model ending in U instead of 0 from booting. Interesting that Odin didn't brick but FlashFire did, however. :)

The word brick is a little strong. You just need to re Odin the firmware and your good to go.

Root Experience

I rooted my Verizon S8+ yesterday with little trouble except not being able to type the right commands in ADB and some file placement for flashing in ODIN. A little trouble with Flashfire, but nothing that had not been explained. Not very hard. The instructions are well written.

The phone works pretty well now. I have not had any of the green screen issues, but I have had all of the foreground (icons and text) turn red. Shutting off the display and turning back on fixes it.

I also had some freezes yesterday when I was doing a lot of setting up the phone. Usually I could just reboot, but once I got stuck in upload mode, no idea how, and had to hard reset. These seem to be associated with Super SU because when they were happening and I opened Super SU, it would have no apps listed and just sit there with a blank list. After rebooting the list of apps was repopulated.

I also have the orange 1 next to the About Phone, Status, etc in settings. At the bottom of status it says the operating system has been modified. I can't argue with that, just don't really want to see it there.

So far no issues today with limited use. I am happy with the result. Thanks to the Devs!

Hey, I used your method here to do the final ROM flash and all went well. I have a question about the ROM control app. I have it on the phone, but the only parts that show anything up are the Phone Setting, Set Theme, and Backup and Restore tabs. I uninstalled and reinstalled a copy I extracted from your zip and it is still the same. Should the other tabs be working? If so, any advice on how to get them up and running? It has root in Super SU.

Thanks.

Native Call Recorder

I don't know, but I wouldn't think so, since others r flashing the same firmware on different devices, and when u flash the G955_ADD_CSC_ROOT.zip file

inside at this location is = G955_ADD_CSC_ROOT\system\omc\TMB it has all the carriers inside the folder omc, when u find ur model, for example TMO for me, u have the file cscfeature.xml and if u edit with noepad++ and add this line,

<CscFeature_VoiceCall_ConfigRecording>RecordingAllowed</CscFeature_VoiceCall_ConfigRecording>

The reason I had to put it in this location is, since u need to flash the cscroot file after the firmware system.img or Rom, it overrides the one in the rom..

So whenever the system.img or the Rom is flashed, the csc root file u flash after will get the cscfeature file with native call recorder always..

Sorry this is a root thread, didn't mean to waste a post,

but many will like this little trick.

Edit, this has to be done a fresh installation, like wipe data so it can work.

Too soon to see how the battery is lol. Just got everything right again
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] Smithfolk4:
OK. So maybe I was premature saying everything is working well. I went to the gym and left my phone in the backpack with a charge somewhere in the high 60% range. I checked the phone 3.5 hours later and it was hot. Not scalding, but a lot warmer than it has ever been. It was completely unresponsive except that hard pressing the home button would give the haptic feedback. I pushed every button combination and nothing happened, so I plugged it in and did the same. Eventually I got the Upload screen and was able to reboot from there. It was at 23% charge, so dropped 40+ percent in 3.5 hours, or maybe less since I don't know when it went off the rails. Makes sense that it was warm. Anyone else with this experience. I think I followed the OP to the letter and everything was working fine. Maybe something with Lspeed? I have not used that before. It seems to request SU permissions a lot, but I have seen similar with other apps.

The phone is OK now, but I look at SuperSU and all I see is the spinning circle. I had this happen a few times yesterday. Maybe it would be best to reinstall? A reboot fixes this.

[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] kleen3r:
I think all the files from part 2 are Verizon based so not sure why you're getting crashes. For me, since

I'm on Sprint, I found the multi-csc kept crashing my phone. I used the latest Sprint stock U firmware from updato.com. Then flashed that system.img and replaced the multi-csc with with supersu. I then went back in regular Odin and flashed csc and cp from the stock firmware.

Try that but with the latest stock Verizon firmware.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] Smithfolk4:
Thanks. Just to be clear you flashed, in Flash Fire, the system image from step 2 and instead of the CSC you just used a SuperSU zip (that I am sure I can find). Then after that flashed the latest CP and CSC for Sprint (regular ODIN).

Sorry I am not at the computer. I just keep checking in. I have a few things to do after messing with the phone a lot of the day yesterday.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] kleen3r:

Disable systemscope with titanium back up pro, and reboot.

I forgot to disable on my latest reset after messing with framework and my phone exhibited the exact symptoms until I disabled system scope.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] Smithfolk4:
How did you figure that out?

I just tried it. I will update more later. I did uninstall (did the cleanup first) and reinstall SuperSU and that didn't fix it. It took a lot of messing around because SuperSU kept freezing. I will say the phone seems to be quicker and I opened and messed with SuperSU a bit and it seems fine. If this works you are blessed. A lot better than reflashing, although I was able to get a Titanium Backup that would have made getting the phone back in order easier. Thanks.

I came back in from cutting the grass and the phone froze up again. It had a toast message, silently denied SU to Greenify. I tried to open Greenify and it froze. Same thing. Upload mode and reboot. I froze Greenify and better battery stats and I will see what that does. Something is causing SuperSU to hang or so it seems to me.

[MENTION=5956545]Smithfolk4[/MENTION]

Sysscope, on our phones, is one of Samsung's root detection apps (security scanning app).

If SU is still hanging disable "Device Security" too.

I assume when you first rooted SU asked to disable Knox, and it did successfully.

So, what I have always *guessed* is going on;

Without the system security scanning apps frozen/removed and their updaters, they discover root access app(s) that are not of factory design.

Then, because the resources (Knox) to fully block/remove said found apps are not availble the scanning apps repeatedly call on said removed resources over and over, crashes, crashes SU,, etc etc therefore draining battery and makes the device a nice hand warmer.
