sorry, im not trying to take away from the amazing work you did just meant the uploaded files were made by pimpmaneaton and wanted to make sure people knew I was not claiming this as my own. Sorry for the confusion and again thanks for your tireless efforts.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] elliwigy:
you should use the abl, devcfg and also recovery as well as the boot.img.. if not ull still have the original combo files besides the boot.img

---------- Post added at 08:18 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:17 PM ----------

technically sammy did the work lol.. they are unmodified factory binary images

---------- Post added at 08:20 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:18 PM ----------

also, the images do not void the warranty.. heck root doesnt even void the warranty.. onky unlocking the bootloader will void the warranty
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] partcyborg:
Lol wtf XDA this thread shouldn't exist it was moved to the guides/howto forum. That copy has the full combo firm. I will ping the mods to find out wtf happened with this thread insanity.

You're welcome to update devcfg and recovery but I don't see any differences in their content
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] elliwigy:
im just saying that the point of this thread is to use latest combo files and if ur just updating the boot.img youre still leaving 3 files on the device that are from the original combo firm.. if anything its better to have as much matching as you can so y not update abl devcfg and recovery when youre already updating the boot.img? it might even run smoother if anything

and it was probably moved to the guides section because all it is is stock combo firmware with instructions on how to flash the boot.img.. development section is for development like say custom modified roms, custom kernels, aosp roms etc etc stock firmware threads are always in guides sections
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] partcyborg:
Lol it was supposed to be moved which is fine but now I see the same thread in both places with different contents of the OP as ive made changes since then so the two have diverged which is both a bug and confusing.

I replied to the moderator message about the threads being moved so hopefully someone will take care of it as there isn't much I can do beyond that
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] elliwigy:
probably forgot to lock this one or remove it lol
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] pilotp94:
Noob question but I just wanna be sure:

Will this work on the G955W? SamPWND worked just fine on it and my phone's model number inside the settings menu is displayed as G955U, but you did say kernels are very device specific, and I'd rather be safe than sorry. :P
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] partcyborg:
If you can run the sampwnd firmware, you can and should run this
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] pilotp94:
Thanks! I can confirm this is working just fine on my G955W, here's hoping that display bug is gone for good! :)

Hello guys,

And is it the smoothest too? What bugs does it have?

I love MIUI, but I'm disappointed with MIUI 9. No new features, but it uses more RAM. I would install an older version, but I want regular updates.
[Xiaomi Redmi 3s Questions & Answers] hellwing:
The most stable ROM that I used is the latest Xperience.

I know only one bug: VoLTE doesn't work, but as for me it isn't a big problem, because I have neither VoLTE nor LTE in my country.Users say that both Goodix FPC work good.I forgot to tell you about the biggest issue: developer said that he lives land and because of that he won't give us updates.

Also AEX ROM which I used have good stability, performance, battery drains pretty long.

[MENTION=8360749]wildermjs8[/MENTION] thanks for digging around. If we flash this and have problems what is the best way to go back?

UPDATE: got impatient and flashed per your instructions and all seams ok so far. Shows Sept 4 kernel version in about phone. Will update later. Thanks again
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] jawonder:
This can be flashed over AQH3, right ?.

I thought the screen looked better too but I thought it was likely I was seeing things lol

The green screen came back. But it took like a dozen or more reboots before it appeared. Sprint s8+ on QGL.

Great job [MENTION=8360749]wildermjs8[/MENTION] - thanks for the upload ?????
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] elliwigy:
sounds like it minimized it at least for u lol.. i dont think there will be a true "100%" fix until we can be rooted on a stock boot.img
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] patmorris:
I'm perfectly content. It's definitely much better than it was.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Araltd:
Thanks for this. I have not had the chance to install yet, too late if in the event a problem arises. I don't like to do "10 sec fix" unless I have extra time jut to be safe. But I'll try tomorrow.

This is the wrong thread but root has been pretty good with the exception of excessive battery drain. Maybe just me so ymmv.

Many thanks for this and the files ;)
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Quickvic30:
Nice to see ya over here! Far cry from the s7 edge root that's for sure!

How bad is the battery drain? While using or while sleeping? These phones even stock don't sleep well, I'd say they lose on average a percentage an hour, which is sad really lol
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] partcyborg:
It's early days with new firmware so we will see
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Araltd:
I'm late to the s8+ ;) literally just bought a used one (they made me a deal I couldn't refuse).

I'm losing about +3%/hr while screen off... Screen On is another story... Obviously depends on the activity - but battery drain is high in my opinion and as you know [MENTION=5149713]Quickvic30[/MENTION] I'm NEW to all this ;) still learning what the green button does when the phone makes noise and I see a phone number on the screen.

But the rooting method is still young and improvements and tweaks are already coming LIKE THIS THREAD.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] elliwigy:
i wouldnt say its a fix lol some still have issues.. although it minimizes it so far, all this thread is about is flashing a newer official combo boot.img lol

a "fix" i would say would be finding a way to manipulate the phone to use a stock boot.img while maintaining root..

basically we are still on a factory binary boot.img which means its not fixed and unstable for daily use (it even says this within the logs lol) this type of boot.img isnt supposed to be a daily so regardless of how new it is, its still bound to have some issues at some point
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] partcyborg:
That would be better yes but if a later kernel fixes it in the combo build that is a fix for this issue lol

Given the fact that many have reported no issues I wonder if a match between kernel and some other firmware fixes it. It could be that those affected are on older versions than me.

Hmm
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] elliwigy:
u are not understanding my point, a debug kernel is a debug kernel.. they arent meant for daily use so ppl are bound to have issues and it will mot function the same as a regular stock kernel

i have experienced the screen issue at least twice since last night and at least one other person said he still gets it also...

also not trying to be rude but a fix would be a way to use stock boot.img to get away from debug boot as much as possible.. that will actually require development to be done.. u basically just created a development thread by copy pasting a link to the latest combo firmware, these posts typically go in the general section since u didnt develop the combo, its a stock factory binary firmware

now if you somehow modified it and got it to boot then that would be development lol then again if that were the case we wouldnt be where we are today
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] partcyborg:
Except that isn't always the case. Having run pre-release engineering kernels from cupcake-marshmellow I have a little experience in this area, and outside of VERY early days G/Nexus/Pixel never exhibited a problem like this so I find it a bit surprising.

Forgive me for putting the thread in the wrong place, I guess I deserved that for trying putting related things together. Why does it feel like I'm being dragged into a pissing contest?

I was just trying to help people out, maybe I just shouldnt bother.

Mods can move the threads wherever it doesn't matter to me.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] elliwigy:
didnt mean to offend u lol simply saying a debug boot is a debug boot, not meant for daily use.. i kno the s7 and note 7 had a number of issues as well as even when i had my v20 with debug kernel lol

i think we can all agree our end goal/fix would be stock official boot.img rooted

---------- Post added at 10:25 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:22 PM ----------

to add, these boot images arent test/pre release images.. they are official releases designed for 3rd party stores/vendors to modify certain partitions and some repairs
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] partcyborg:
It's all good man, I'm probably more frustrated than normal and I've been trying to get around stock kernel boot all last night and today. I haven't given up on it either, and I think I'm close to figuring out at least where it's happening (I THINK it's a dtb config thing as they absolutely differ both in both boot.imgs and on the parts of mine in ram accessible via /sys in pieces). Anyway not giving up!

To anyone who is still getting green screens reply to the thread with whatever systrm build you are on and will snag the equivalent combo firm if you want to try that. Dunno if it will be any better but it's worth a shot if you want to

[MENTION=8360749]wildermjs8[/MENTION] quick question for this update...

I have substratum, some overlays and unofficial Xposed installed on my T-Mobile S8 plus.

Do i need to uninstall all the mods before flashing this?

Does the update work with the unofficial Xposed?

Just want to be 100% sure before I jump down this road, and thabk you for your find and hard work!!!!

I enclosed a pic of my baseband and build numbers :)
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] partcyborg:
Absolutely not necessary. The files you flash touch nothing but the kernel and root filesystems which you can't mod even if you want to (and boot ur system again anyway) given the current state of the world
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] matthewd769:
ok I flashed this and my baseband is the same but the kernel version shows sept 4th ... is that the only difference we will see?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] partcyborg:
HOWEVER

You are on a pretty old build by standards around here (AQDE, when the latest is AQH* or AQG* depending on your carrier) so its possible you won't see things get rock solid 100% better, but they will improve a lot.

I suggest getting ready to do a wipe/upgrade as soon as is reasonable (I know it's a pain etc) to make sure things go smoothly. It's not too hard to pull off if you have good backups. Personally for a system upgrades I use a combination of titanium backup and flashfire partitions (effective for internal storage) and it's more painful than a pure FF restore but it's not terrible.

And another bonus is you might also eliminate the green screen like I have :)
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] partcyborg:
Your kernel is upgraded and so are your root filesystem files but that isn't really surfaced anywhere. The kernel is the big important piece with this one.

(Edit: also your device tree configuration used to boot arm systems but its not something you notice unless it's horribly broken which it isn't. Wanted to be accurate this time lol)
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] matthewd769:
Ty sir ... seems all good here
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] dfogelstrom:
So where would I find my latest t-mobile update?

Also, I do a "full" FF backup minis the bootloader and a full titanium app backup with data.

What are your backup and restore methods to get me to where my phone is right now with a upgraded build?

Also, what would my process be of updating to the latest build? Just a FlashFire flash?

Pm me please if you have time as I know I have a lot of questions that don't belong here and could use a little help.

Basically I want to upgrade and still use my Substratum, Overlays and Unofficial Xposed :)

I am going to flash this right now tho! Hope to hear from you soon!
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] partcyborg:
Wait wtf nevermind I'm a complete idiot I SWEAR I saw aqd* on your screenshot but I just looked again and its aqg. UGH sorry for the false alarm you are up to date and will be fine. My bad!

EDIT: I figured out how I messed up! I saw your baseband version

Good news is that running aqg on aqd baseband absolutely WILL give you give you issues in many cases so having up to date kernel/rootfs should make your experience a LOT better

You will likely want to upgrade your radio to AQG2 as well, at least I think baseband comes from that. Check it once again after flashing boot.img and if it still says aqd2 I'll help you find the modem.bin file you need. It's also a no wipe doesn't touch anything you touch upgrade and should be painless
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] dfogelstrom:
Thank you very much. I was a little bummed that I was going to have to start from scratch again lol, but I know it has to be done every now and again.

I flashed your new boot.img and will see how it helps out, if any! Am I correct by backing up a "full" FF backup minus the 2 bootloader checks? And an app and data backup in TiBu?

Thank you for your work and help brother!
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] partcyborg:
To guard against bad flashes/bootloops I just use FF. Restoring everything but the 2 bls will restore your whole system to how it was at time of backup, and it's a lot faster than all other methods ive used that will take userdata (thus far anyway :) )

I explicitly do the TB thing when I'm upgrading (you're on the latest consumer build)

Although next time I'm gonna try the flashfire adb backup format. I had really good luck with it when I could get adb to write a non corrupted backup, so it might be a better way of putting stuff back. TB does it 99% right but the 1% is enough to be annoying if you are testing destructive changes
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] elliwigy:
yea, anytime u see em on AQDE most likely they didnt flash cp afterwards lol AQDE is the sampwnd firmware

---------- Post added at 03:57 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:55 AM ----------

baseband is the modem so hes only partially updated lol
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] elliwigy:

[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] jawonder:
How did you get your Baseband version to be AQH3 and still have root ?.

u flash cp in odin.. it contsinsthe modem
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] jawonder:
Is that CP available on the XDA ?, was searching but didn’t find the update .
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] elliwigy:
bro, the cp file is in every stock firmware tar.. just dl a rom from updato or something.. u will get 4 files, ap, cp, csc, bl (sometimes also userdata and home csc) and the modem is in the cp file
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] jawonder:

[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] studlyswissdude2:
Thank you so much for this! Followed instructions on pg 1 and had 0 problems. What's more, this fixed my SD Card Problems! Before, every time I'd put in a new/faster Micro SD, the phone would either shut off completely or just reboot into a screen claiming that there is a CRC error with the memory of the card. Only removing the SD card would let me reboot the phone properly. After doing this and updating the kernel to Sept 4 version, I can insert the new and fast SD Card (UHS-I/U3). MANY THANKS AGAIN!!! Life Safer!!!
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] partcyborg:
Great to hear man this put a big smile on my face. Glad the firmware has been largely a success. Just trying to help out everyone I can. Spread the word about the SD card stuff being better, I've never had sdcard issues so I don't want to personally claim anything. Since it worked for you that's anecdotal evidence it might help others too
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] studlyswissdude2:
Definitely! I saw someone else suggesting something that I thought might mean it fixed their SD card problem, but it wasn't fully clear from their comment. So I thought I'd give it a try as well - had low hopes and was super excited when it worked. Returned my 64GB right away in exchange for an even faster 128GB card. It's nice to be able to use the S8+ to its fullest potential and have a prefect card for 4k video and such.

Thanks again. Been looking on other forums and if I see anyone else with Micro SD card problems, I will definitely send them this way!
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Araltd:
I wanted to thank the poster for the details on this, but I did want to say that flashing these 4 files from the new combo did not resolve the occasional screen glitch issue. I actually feel it happens more now than before... But a quick tap on/off on the power button solves it... Just saying.

Thank you for the information.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] partcyborg:
What firmware and baseband are you running? It looks like some combinations are less than compatible

And what 4 files did you flash? The post does not talk about 4
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] elliwigy:
edit: was just abit irritated this morning lol but to beclear, SamPWND does not approve of this as a "fix" or are we associated with it..

its misleading and should be posted as an updated combo firm thread since thats all it is, nothing more, nothing less

myself and others have reported this updated firmware does not fix anything

dont agree its labeled as SamPWND and a "fix" but what can ya do lol
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] antuketot76:
Hey guys,

Would like to ask, did anybody get the latest september security patch on their device yet?

Concern on blueborne vulnerability
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] elliwigy:
again, the 4 files from combo firm are ABL, DEVCFG, BOOT AND RECOVERY

telling ppl to only update the boot is not a good suggestion.. in fact that means they will most likely have firmware from 3 separate firmwares.. whatever rom they are using, old combo firm abl, devcfg and recovery and then a new combo firm boot.. how would this help anything??

i dont expect u to grasp that orchange your thread but if anyoneasks me orasks in the official Sampwnd thread i will recommend updating 4 files, not just the boot as well as let them know its not a "fix" and will most likely still have some screen glitches..
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] studlyswissdude2:
Hey [MENTION=3812611]elliwigy[/MENTION]. Thanks for all you do. While this may not fix screen issues, it really did fix my SD card not being read. Just saying. On the original SamPWND forum I asked if anyone had a fix for SD Cards not working properly a while back and was just referred back to Samsung's forums saying others without root have had this issue. I have seen a few others with SD Card problems as well on the SamPWND forum. So maybe it's at least worth mentioning that upgrading to a new combo firmware may fix that on your forum, too. Again, don't mean to criticize or anything. Just saying that this was a life safer for me (as of course was the original root!) :good:
