Great work! Now we can flash GSIs (Soo awesome :3), but for some reason when I try to flash RR, I can't flash the image to system partition. The only listed partitions available for installation are Boot and Recovery. System is mounted in TWRP as RW.
[Samsung Galaxy J5 PRO (2017) ROMs, Kernels, Recove] fetaiharbin:
You need to flash Converter first, then roll System, Cache and Vendor to ext4, flash Vendor, then flash RR as System Image.
[Samsung Galaxy J5 PRO (2017) ROMs, Kernels, Recove] Kuba432110:
So, no GSIs until Vendor is done. Got it :D

HeliosPie Kernel 3.0

Can I use this on Promotheus Lite A8+ Rom Port? I dont want to upgrate to Promotheus One UI for now.I will update at the next version or when the official stock Pie comes from Samsung so you can put drivers from stock. Anyway does this work on 8.0 A8+ Port ROM?

And how can I get back the 70herts mod display?

Many thanks.

Hi,is F2FS stable? And it is better than EXT4?
[Samsung Galaxy J5 PRO (2017) ROMs, Kernels, Recove] Ngadhnjim:
on 3.0 i got so much system freeze i think on 3.1 fixed ,thanks for new update.
[Samsung Galaxy J5 PRO (2017) ROMs, Kernels, Recove] ananjaser1211:
I have not personally tested F2FS. however both the latest 3.3 TWRP and the 3.1 kernel support it. reports online say it handles eMMc storage better. so you should use it for the data partition and cache.

One thing to note, the Galaxy M10 uses F2FS for data. so if samsung done it, there is a reason.

I cant go into detail on how to set it up tho. you need to change data and cache partitions to F2FS from twrp. and you probably need to edit the updater script of the Prometheus V2 ROM and change EXT4 formats to F2FS

Yes 3.0 had few issues. glad it is resolved
[Samsung Galaxy J5 PRO (2017) ROMs, Kernels, Recove] ExtremeGrief:
Cant I just backup my current install change it to f2fs and restore the backup in twrp.
[Samsung Galaxy J5 PRO (2017) ROMs, Kernels, Recove] Veevtams:

Thank you for the File, Attempting to root my J530f and this is the last file needed aparently ^^
[Samsung Galaxy J5 PRO (2017) ROMs, Kernels, Recove] ananjaser1211:
jxy17lte as in j5y17lte/j7y17lte . it is a unified zip.

however you do not need a custom kernel to root. you only need TWRP + format internal + Magisk 19.x

you do not need a custom kernel to be rooted.

goodluck

I tried it using apkmirror. Works ok, no portrait mode. Photo/video mode works. Time lapse and Panorama not working, not able to shoot in landscape only in vertical. Very basic. Tested quality difference, not much, probably due to Snapdragon being needed for extra processing.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] aulamens:
I do a lot of important things on my phone, so the protection is number the #1 thing for me.

All my previous 5 - 6 android smartphones were rooted by me.

The main reason for rooting was to improve security and confidence in the phone - good firewall, de -bloating, control of privilegies.

But now with S8+ I am having second thought about if rooting really protects vs exposes.

1) Lots of original protection features will be gone after rooting, like DM-verity

2) Automated system updates and therefore related security patches will be gone too. I am not a big fan of regular manual downloads and updates. So my once rooted system will become dated soon.

3) Fingerprint or iris readers be one more vulnerable to errors and manipulations

Am I taking it right?

Do a good firewall and control of priviligies outweigth the new risks that rooting could bring to S8+?

Thanks for you thoughts

Apparently now if you have a rooted S8, Netflix won't work anymore
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] Pankaj Rai:
You will get custom roms brother once you rooted , better than stock roms.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] aulamens:
Thanks guys. Netflix is not a concern. But custom ROMs Iam not sure. Are they better protected than stock ROM? At least stock ROM is patched very often as new vulnerabilities are revealed. Not sure custom ROM are updated that quick. Plus automated updates without tye hassle of downloading flashing reinstalling is a big deal.

I would assume stock rom would stay most updated at least. Do stock ROMs offer the convenience of automated updates? ... and the speed and frequency of patches or fixes?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] dalanik:
Ofcourse not rooted is more secure, it is silly to even discuss this. Rooting is the SINGLE most dangerous thing you can do. You allow 3rd party apps to modify your system. Yes, there is some sort of SuperUser app which asks for your permission, but it is still less secure than unrooted ROM. And as far as stock vs custom ROMs are concerned, would you trust more a group of enthisiasts that "modify" ROMS without proper knowlegde of inner workings or a company that does this for a living???

We all love CUSTOM ROMS, but in my experience on 5-6 (different) devices none of these are as stable as stock ROM, they cas say whatever they want, it is bull*. Stock is stock. Custom ROMs are used because we get new functionality, customizations, freedoom, maybe sometimes speed. But NEVER stability, I have flashed hundreds of ROMs since days of Desire HD through Note 2 and Nexus tablets, no custom ROM was ever as stable as stock. Period.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] frostmore:
Personally i think it's hogwash to even think that rooting will expose you to security risks. I believe that's what most handphone manufacturers wants you to believe.

Just like an other tech you use, you make sure you do not install dubious apps. Rooting, like having admin rights on a PC, comes with certain risks and responsibilities.

Just imagine Microshaft or crapple telling you how to use their OS and how,if you have admin rights, will void your warranty or expose you to security risks, how you should use their bloatware apps or take their advice just because they know best?

Samdung doesn't like people tinkering with their stuff, especially when it outshines or is inherently superior to theirs. Their whole argument about rooting is just their way of scaring you to use their sorry of an excuse bloatware, building castles in the air and making sure you use their phones the"right" way.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] aulamens:
Thank you Dalanik,

Then stock it is. I would still miss a good firewall or whole phone backup.

I felt quite secure when I saw new apps not being able to connect before I explicitly whitelist them in firewall.

But if it comes with a greater extent and complexity of exposure then I gave up
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] aulamens:
Thank you Frostmore,

It is not just about admin rights responsibility.

I saw people reporting fingerreader failures, knox being disabled etc. You lose some features which are designed to protect. There is no admin everyday routine that would compensate for that loss.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] SageChrono:
I would say if you don't overstand the workings of your device, you will not truly know..

Meanwhile from my experience from carriers, Samsung devices (good example: at&t note 4) is taking the enterprise route, more security for business purposes.

Non root I'd personally say from an amateur (myself) viewpoint (if you don't have the necessary knowledge to do it yourself). If someone wants to get you, they most likely will..

Another example is the location, there's multiple ways some of these apps get your location, clicking it off just seems like a "hide from user" option.

Good question though, don't see too many inquiries!
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] SpringerRider:
I m hesitant to root this phone. It will be the only non-rooted android I've owned. I am a developer with some embedded experience but I have become much more security conscious.

I so wish Sammy/Sprint would follow the Google Pixel model. The Pixel came out of the book without one iota of crap-a-ware. So refreshing to NOT be treated like a "mark" at a carnival.

The idea that I am Sprint's customer yet they treat me as a resource to serve up to their sponsors, like broadcast TV.

I run much of my business from this phone. I need VPN, TLS, SSL and all the security. I also develop for this device.

I may root in the future but I am going to stay clear of the bloody cutting edge for the moment. I appreciate you guys on the front line. Been there and done that...
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] aulamens:
Thanks SpringerRider, I like your idea of postponed rooting. I think Samsung with its pushy policies is becoming more and more hostile and arrogant to their own customers over time.

They degrade the support of their devices at akcelerated speed these days. For instance My 4-year old Samsung Smart TV lost 70% of its original functionality in the last year, because Samsung gradually stripped it from SmartHub via weekly updates. They don't want to support the TV even 4 years later after it was first introduced to the market. I guess the same philosophy would be applied on us, S8+ owners much sooner than we would have expected. I guess in 2-3 years we would on our own. Plus I bet Samsung would start overloading our phones with resource hungry bloatware via updates pushing us to buy newer models.

That would be the right time to root the phone and to cut the ties to Samsung.

So I totally get your idea and I thing it makes a good sense.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nice8man:
Hi guys;

So i bought a second hand unlocked D851 ( TMOBILE) with kitkat (cloudy rom) wanted to upgrade it to lolipop but i hard bricked it then used board diag program to bring it back to life but i extracted a d850 rom TOT since the d851 didnt work so now my lg g3 is at&t and permenantly locked ,been trying for a week now to unlocked it for nothing then I read somewhere in this forum that its easy to unlock the d851 using the tmobile app. so is there any way to change it back to D851.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nice8man:

[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nice8man:
how about my problem??!!!
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
1)What do you mean permanently locked...carrier/sim, mcafee security, something else? If it's carrier you can order a sim unlock code off of ebay for @$4.00 us, or use any other sim unlock services out there.

2)If you changed a d851 to a d850 using board diag and manually loading the partitions - then why not extract a d851 tot and do the same thing?
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nice8man:
thank you for the reply.

1- its carrier unlock + i have no online wallet and i cant get one

2- thats what im looking for is there a way to manually load d851 partitions i mean when i loaded d850 partitions my phone was in dload mode ( hard bricked) do i have to hard unbrick now again?

by the way i can search for other carriers and i find mine under rat:GSM but i m unable to connect to it .
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
1) I don't know of a free way to get an unlock code, so if you can't order one you're probably stuck. Pay a friend who can order one for you? ;)

2) If we're on the same page here and you previously used the board diag tool then that should work again. Hard brick usually shows up in your device manager as qualcomm 9008 instead of an lg device, so to get back to that condition you would have to open the phone up and short a pin -

follow the guide in the link I posted before and you should be good to go. I don't have links for any d851 tot files though...sorry, not my variant.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nice8man:
so i need to hard brick my phone again?
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Unfortunately...I think so. If you were to try and use the lg flash tool and try and tot a d851 file into a d850 it'll probably throw some errors - model check, for ex - and won't flash. You can try and see for yourself if you'd like...here's a link for a couple tools; the 1st is kdz method, second is tot: https://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2785089

To brick it again follow guide I linked( https://xdaforums.com/sprint-lg-g3/general/guide-fix-hard-brick-recovery-guide-t3132359), short that 2nd jtag pin in the pic for @5 seconds, plug in the usb, and it should go to qualcomm 9008. You already know how to do the rest as far as loading partitions and such, and if you don't the guide will tell you what to do.

Good luck :good:
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nice8man:
the link you attached is for mobiles that are already hard bricked mine is not
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Yeah....and?

Re-read your previous post where you asked if you'll have to brick it again.

I said yes, and gave you a link on how to do it. Did you read the link? My guess would be no, since the 1st 4 steps tell you how to brick it and enter qualcomm9008 mode.

You're on your own now. Good luck. And you're welcome for the time I spent trying to help you.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nice8man:
Thank you for your replies man i really appriciate it...i have read that topic like 5 times; maybe i dont understand english very well but when i read the title LG G3 Hard Brick Recovery+ Required Materials:Bricked LG G3 i thought he meant that this topic is for people that has thier phone bricked and need to recover them.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
It's cool. Yes the guide is for already bricked phones, but what I was trying to say is since you have a functional phone rt now you're gonna have to brick it, and by brick it I mean qualcomm9008 mode, and that's what the 1st part of the guide shows you how to do by shorting out the pin. Once you get to Qualcomm mode you can then use the board diag tool and load your partitions that you extracted from the tot and hopefully get back to your original d851 phone and get back up and running. Does that make more sense?

Again...good luck ;)
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nice8man:
I did not know that you can hard brick the phone by shorting the pins; thank you.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nice8man:
I hard bricked it again and then extracted another D851 tot and then loaded all the necessary partitions but the phone still on qload mode i copied the sbl1.mbm of the D850 and tried them with D851 partitions the phone revived but not in download mode.

I managed tp recover all partitions and the phone is on dowloading mode but still detected as d850 so i have the dll cross error everytime i try to flash a rom even with using the custon dll file.

After calling Sprint again today to look into this issue...they were baffled and could not figure it out so a ticket was created for Tech support to call me back in 5 - 7 business days.

I got off the phone and did some more trouble shooting on my own again. I starred at the phone for awhile and got a wild thought abt my lil plastic case I had on the phone...and sure enough thts wht it was. Just a plastic case with separate top an bottom peices tht was plastic to look like metal...and i do believe that thm 2 lil pieces on my case was interfering with the signal. I have the exact same case on my iPhone 7 Plus jus a different color and there is no interference at all. I took the case off and hav had the best signal...full bars and LTE ever since...All this time it was the case that was purchased from Sprints website. So I will be taking the case back because my phone is now completely naked lol and I need a new one. Problem solved!

Just returned my Note 8 today before the 14 day period. Had multiple issues with network...and multiple calls with tech support.

No calls coming through, straight to vm...double texts. Getting a replacement in a couple days, hoping for much better experience.

Had issues before i put a case on it. Tech support did all the usual reset, reactivation, *720, 730, 740, multiple prl and profile updates. Figured it was only going to get worse. Didn't want to risk not being able to return. $35 restocking...oh well. Back to my trusty note 2 for a couple days

Sprint tech and manager tried to tell me that that practically the whole city had tower issues and that the phone was working as its supposed to. I use the phone for work, so reliability is important. Sprint store did everything in their power to prevent a return. Diagnostics run on some Windows 95 laptop was a joke.
