Good to know, thanks. Wasn't sure if it was me, my backup or something else.

[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] partcyborg:
It's only been once or twice, but given the wide range of problems that can happen from running firmware that isn't quite right for your s8 (as evidenced by the many reports in the s8 and s8+ root threads) I wouldn't be surprised at all if flashing can be finiky too
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Smithfolk4:
I have a question for you guys about Flashfire backups. I did a "Normal" backup. Is there an advantage to doing a "Full" backup, then restoring only the Normal partitions if you need to restore? It sounds like you guys restore everything except bootloader. I just want to be sure I understand this. Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] partcyborg:
The only difference between everything from full and less is the preselected partitions. I pick all of them except bootloader usually and have restored it safely. It's useful if you super brick /system and have to go back to sampwnd firmware to reroot as it avoids me having to fire up parallels and flash with Odin a 2nd time
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] partcyborg:
BTW this is working mostly flawlessly for me on VZW using AQH3 on the U1 firmware.

VERY happy with this install overall. Only took me like 10 reinstalls lol.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] furialfil:
World you mind sharing how you did it cuz I've tried 2 times and I got soft bricked, thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] partcyborg:
Just installed it and it worked. Take note it's the U1 firmware
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] furialfil:
Is your phone the s8 or s8+?

On topic question: Xposed is telling me there's a new framework version. Should I ignore or install?

In absense of a recommendation I left it alone as it's working :)
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] :
If it's coming from the man that made it then you can do it if you want too

But I'm just saying in this xposed because it works for now but if it's official version then we will start too see it all over xda already

Walker
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] partcyborg:
Sounds like a plan. I'll do the same

Do you have a link to the u1 firmware for the s8?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] partcyborg:
Search for g950u1 on sammobile
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] TheBigEasy88:
Downloaded and installed the app. I did NOT open it. I then downloaded the framework to my internal drive, opened Flashfire, added the framework zip file, added a wipe of the cache partition & Dalvik cache, moved the wipe in the Flashfire sequence to before the framework zip and hit FLASH. Once the phone reboots, open the app to confirm that the framework is installed correctly and active.

When adding modules, I would only activate/reboot a few at a time. This way I knew which module caused the issue if I were to have one.

[MENTION=8120307]walkerblue2023[/MENTION] I have a reasonable question for you.

ROOTED t-mobile snapdragon here. I am running various framework mods, status bar mods, and substratum with no issues. I would like to install Xposed and was wondering if my build and base # were okay to install on. Please see pic:

Thank you again for all your help! Really looking forward to installing this!!!
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] dfogelstrom:
Have you had any issues with The "wipe cache/ dalvik" button in FlashFire?

Or maybe issues with FlashFire in general? It seems to be very finicky with me.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] :
You should be okay
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] dfogelstrom:
Lol it's the "should part that scares me lol. Maybe I'll give it a shot
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] :
Make a back up before anything
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] dfogelstrom:
Full back up with FlashFire, right?

Don't back up BL.

Anything else I should know?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] :
Yes sir you got it right and also just follow the guy on the first page and you should be good too go my man
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Reechings:
So can anyone confirm working Xposed on AQH3 firmware for the S8?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] :
Look threw the pages I think someone said they had it working already
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Reechings:
You're right, hopefully it will work for me.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] dfogelstrom:
So with a full backup do don't have to do the second step in the reporting process? Sorry I just want to be clear!

With a full backup you restore that instead of flashfire the system.img and root zip. If you restore all partitions but bootloader it's fine and back how it was

[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] TheBigEasy88:
When you say 'finicky', what exactly do you mean? Just trying to understand before suggesting a path forward. And my only issue w/ Flashfire so far is the screen brightness when it's displaying the flashing progress. I can barely see it which makes it difficult if you're flashing something with an aroma installer.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] dfogelstrom:
Some people report that using the "wipe cache and dalvik" buttons without wiping system still gets us a factory reset. Also, some people say they have not been able to restore either! I personally haven't had any issues as I just do a "full" backup and uncheck the 2 bootloader lines in FF. I HAVE had an issue with the brightness, and did notice it in my Viper4Arise aroma flash, but I got through it !

I was just curious if anyone else has experienced any problems, that's all!

Thank you for your help and concerns!!!

Derek
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] TheBigEasy88:
Funny you say that, I had the same problem w/ wiping dalvik cache a few different times with Flashfire and this root method. Same deal...factory reset without the data wipe. I've also had it where it worked flawlessly. Just to be safe now, I wipe the dalvik cache only in L-Speed. And to answer the question about successfully restoring a flashfire backup, I've had no issues doing so. Just do as my man says above and you should be golden.

---------- Post added at 09:37 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:35 AM ----------

LOL...that's exactly the aroma installer I was referring to. The dang screen was so dark that I wasn't 100% sure as to the options that I was selecting. Guess it was my lucky day as everything has been running smooth since.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] dfogelstrom:
[MENTION=7658763]TheBigEasy88[/MENTION] one more question for u. Where can I find an Xposed uninstaller if I want to get back to stock so I can update me phone if necessary? Looked around but was weary about using something I want sure about!

And yeah, I don't use the wipe feature anymore because I get too sketched out lol

[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] :
Which frame work did you install? What base you on sprint?

Walker
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Smithfolk4:
Not sure what you mean by the "reporting process." If you are messing with your phone, like trying to install Xposed, and you have a problem you can restore the backup without going through any of the rooting steps. Just use Flashfire to restore. As you can see by some of the posts here, the restore process may be finicky.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] :
Send pictures one's you do

Walker
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] TheBigEasy88:
Great question. I'm going to assume that you uninstall the framework via the app. Under the 'Unofficial' tab, there is an option to uninstall. You just need to choose arm, arm64 or x86 depending on your phone and the framework that you installed.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] dfogelstrom:
Well I'm a S8 plus, so my answer would be ARM64 ?

Thank you! That should be listed in OP!!
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] dfogelstrom:

[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] partcyborg:
Yes some stuff has been finiky and I notice a lot of **** in logcat when it's open

Between Xposed, and disabled crap, and my crazy substratum setup, **** behind the scenes is apparently crashing or failing to rub enough I notice it in my batt life. Time to clamp down in wakelocks and turn off logcat when I'm not using it

Oh duh, sorry it's AQI1 (aqi1).

It's the latest combination firm release, I shared it with everyone last night in both forums next to the root thread.

Many people (myself included) are reporting no more screen glitches. Everyone is reporting noticably improved display

See the s8 thread here: https://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s8/dev...tion-fixed-t3673782/post73812406#post73812406

I can't recommend installing it more if you are rooted with sampwnd
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] TT_Vert:
Ahh thanks. What you mean you Can't recommend installing it more? And given that we are in the xposed thread, do we think that the framework will install properly on qi1 given the problems with qgl?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] jawonder:
I installed it over AQH3 on my AT&T S8+ and it didn’t change anything with Xposed, Xposed is still working fine .
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] TT_Vert:
So you had Xposed working on QGL? A few of us on multiple carriers have had it soft brick our phones. I even went as far as to do a fresh install just to see if it had caused the issue. As a test I then installed QH3 on my phone and xposed worked but it was a U1 firmware which did not have the calling plus option I needed sadly.

Dave
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] jawonder:
No, aren’t you talking about flashing the AQl 1 boot.img to get the latest Kernel ?.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] dfogelstrom:
I installed the AQI1 boot.img today following the OP's exact instructions in his thread and it worked flawlessly. Haven't seen any green screen since, but still testing. Works with my firmware on T-Mobile and Xposed, Substratum and overlays installed. See firmware pic
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] partcyborg:
I was answering his question lol. At the least it's better to use Xposed with a working and sharper display yes? Well there ya go it will improve the Xposed experience.

If half the rest of the guide forums can ask the same question 500 times I can answer one tangentially related question
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] TT_Vert:
Why do i not see QI1 anywhere on there? Build and baseband are much older.

Dave

---------- Post added at 08:17 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:15 PM ----------

I was just trying to understand what you were saying. Were you saying that you definitely recommend flashing this if you are rooted w/ sampwnd. So I assume this will not allow those w/ are on QGL to run the xposed framework w/o soft bricking?

---------- Post added at 08:29 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:17 PM ----------

LOL I'm not exactly sure what this QI1 is to be honest. It's just a kernel nothing else?

Dave
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] partcyborg:
Sorry my bad. I am on AQH3 so I don't know about a aqgl, I also had exposed working before I did the baseband/kernel upgrade. Sorry I can't be of more help there. My guess is that it will *not* help as kernel apis and such don't change much or at all really between minor versions like these and exposed acts on the system and UI code not the kernel. That's just me reading the tea leaves there so I could be wrong but unless you're getting kernel panics when using exposed I doubt a new kernel and init will fix it

I think he posted the wrong pic too lol he posted that one in the AQI1 thread before upgrading
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] jawonder:
Yeah, you flash the img and you get the latest kernel . Which helps with the yellow lighting that happen sometime.

[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] TT_Vert:
What was your base FW prior to upgrading to this QI1? Curious what you were able to run xposed framework on. I'm guessing it wasn't QGL?

Dave
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] partcyborg:
Wait, are you saying the full aqi1 firmware is out?

I looked EVERYWHERE for it yesterday all I could find is the combo frp/CSC "combination" one (which is why I made the thread for sampwnd users).

Mind telling me where you found it?

Was previously running aqh3

Sorry currently I'm running the combo aql1 firmware found here http://dl.pars-hamrah.com
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] TT_Vert:
Ah yeah QH3 works fine w/ xposed. QGL does not as far as a few of us can tell. Really curious if upgrading from QGL to this QI1 will allow us to install the framework. Anyone care to try it??

Dave

I'm using Xposed with aql1 on s8+ working for me
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] TT_Vert:
Yes but you started at QH3 correct? Never installed xposed on QGL?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] partcyborg:
It won't because there is no aqi1 system yet. The combo firm is not a full os

Don't flash the whole combo firm lol
