You can choose whatever bootloader version you want. If you update to v5 you can’t go back to stock nougat but you can always go back to stock oreo

How best charge for my cell?

80% to 10%?

or 80% 30%

Thank:confused:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] jrkruse:
The best way too charge your phone is too plug it in to a charger. Your phone will charge to 80 percent max and discharge the same as always

Hey wanted to say thanks for the working root. I installed on on g955w canadian (virgin mobile) variant with bootloader v5... dont know what other info to include. It did fail the first time so I formatted cache and wiped data then went through the process again and that seemed to have fixed it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] QuantumPie:
I'm trying to use this method to root but I am getting the error "complete(write) operation failed". I didn't check my bootloader version but it may have been over two since I was up to date with upgrades. If that is the case, will using an Android 7.0 stock fix it? If not, is there another way I can root?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] SamGuy2020:
After each file you flash make sure to exit odin and re-open it before the next file. Sometimes just resetting it doesn't work. Make sure all your drivers are up to date, using 2.o usb port and of course correct odin
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] QuantumPie:
I've done all of that. I haven't got past the first file.

---------- Post added at 11:23 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:20 PM ----------

To make maters worse I can't even flash stock right now.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] QuantumPie:
I meant to post my original two messages in another thread (I had many tabs open). I'm now trying this method after realizing my boot loader is v5. When I try and flash the BL Part 1, I get "Re-Partition operation failed". I did some googling and some mention a pit file while others say to not use it. I have Auto Rebot and F. Reset Time checked but do I also need Re-Partition and a pit file?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] SamGuy2020:
Try using another cable.

Don't use pit file unless the install instructions tell you to do so. Also, this rom does work on v5 bootloader for the S8+

In the zip, you are selecting v5 correct?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] QuantumPie:
I've used two cables and two different computers. I am also using the v5 bootloader. I was talking to someone in another thread and they said there is no v5 root. This is a v5 root, correct?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] raven213:
I'm on v5 bootloader on TMobile and I got root.

Edit:I'm on s8+
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] SamGuy2020:
Are you claiming the OP is a lie? I've installed this on v5 S8+. There is no reason to stay on v2 for the S8+
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] koobie777:
Well they were probably referring to root v5 for Oreo whis is not possible. It is possible with nougat v5 on s8+ only. Any issues I ever had flashing with Odin I made sure I was using modded Odin with modded files. If I ever got stuck on a part I would use the PIT file. Done this loads of times by now
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] QuantumPie:
Well I'm dumb. Didn't realize this was S8+ only.

Intermittent studdering/lagging on this rom

Hi all,

Has anyone that has flashed this rom to root had intermittent studdering or lagging? My s8+ does it sporadically but several times a day. It will simply be that way upon unlocking and also at the same time the brightness goes dim and moving the brightness slider does nothing when it's lagging. Most of the time I can lock/unlock and it goes back to normal but im really wondering if it's my phone in particular or something happened during flashing or what? Thanks in advance.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] Slim2none4u:
Yes I had the same issue sometimes and would just lock the phone and open it again and it was fixed. I believe it has something to do with AOD because if you turn it off the issue stops.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] Tcate1124:
Ok thank you! I turned it off and I hope that fixes the issue. I appreciate it.

Hi. Would this allow you to load other roms onto your phone (for bootloaders on V5)?

I just got a V5 bootloader phone and would like to be able to run Roms onto it again.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] jrkruse:
When you say other rom you can flash this or my SamFail Pie rom with safestrap or the SamFail Oreo rom with safestrap thats about it. I think you can use the system image from partcyborg's rom with my v5 firmware and it will work

Will this work if i'm on Oreo v3 bootloader if I upgrade to v5 bootloader? I can't find a clear answer.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] Wired0980:
Yes, if you flash this it will put you on v5 BL, updating your v3 to v5.

As long as you are not above v5 BL you should be able to flash this.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] linksmechanix:
Thank you for the reply. So then I'll be rooted? I was told I was screwed because i accidently took the v3 upgrade. Thanks for your time.

Hello, I am new with this phone, I have the S8 plus SM-955U from Sprint with android 8 and I want to install TWRP and make it root but I feel somewhat confused with the process, because I am Spanish speaking, I have bootoader v5, I will be able to perform this procedure with the files that are provided here?

Yes. Follow the OP.

When doing this tutorial with what version of android is my phone? is it with another rom already rooted? and if it does not remain with Oreo as I currently have it, how do I get that version again?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] koobie777:
Its nougat. You can Odin back to stock oreo anytime and lose root when going back to oreo
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] Wired0980:
When flashing this you will be on android 7 nougat and rooted as the OP states. To get back to android 8 oreo just Odin back to stock or flash one of the V5 oreo roms here.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] nachoesdario:
but I guess that when I return to Oreo I lose the root according to another comrade's comment, do you think it's worth sacrificing Oreo to have it rooted as I want it? I would also like to have the TWRP
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] Wired0980:
Yes, you will lose root, since there is no root for oreo.

It depends on what you trying to do, the reason that you want root, on whether or not it is worth it.

Hello colleagues, I have a question, in step 1 y 5 it says to load in BL slot the file BL_V5_PART_1_AND_3.tar, but inside the folder v5 bootloaders there are two independent files, part 1 and part 3, are the same file? I install only one or should I install both ??
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] koobie777:
Part one BL is for part one. Part three BL is for after you've installed AP
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] nachoesdario:
That is, part 1 is installed in the first step and part 3 in step 5? Is that how you mean? Sorry, I do not want to make mistakes.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] koobie777:
Yep that is correct.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] nachoesdario:
Thank you very much to all those who helped me install this rom with android 7 already rooted, I would like to know, if there are other custom roms available for this model that I could install.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] koobie777:
No you've reached the limit of ROMs for the snapdragon variant. You can upgrade to Oreo or pie with safestrap but no root on those. Still hoping someone will crack the BL someday.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] Pharraon:
With this method you can go back to nougat? That's my question I'm on pie for you lasted mod

Didn't work for me. I even tried a factory reset. Flashed the rom again from step 1. Flashed the fix right after setting up Google. Flashed the zip after setting up WiFi but before setting up Google. I'm trying it every way possible that I can think of and it's not saving the network at all.

FYI This phone has no sim card. It's WiFi only.

How did you flash it? Does your phone have service? It may be that it just saved it to the cloud and resorted after reboot through mobile network.

I've tried many ways and can not get the fix to work.

My phone is WiFi only.

No sim card.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] FinassaR:
I really wish I could have an Oreo variant for this method. I unrooted a couple of months ago and realized that I was missing so much from being rooted by nougat downgrade. So many things that supported nougat are being deprecated. Main focus is on pie now while Oreo is still being supported. I however do miss being rooted. Especially when I can't do certain things to keep Google from force updating apps even though I disabled Auto updates across the board.

Ok, so I kind of get that this is a touchy subject for some, but I am going to bring it up anyway (please don't the me).

Is there any progress on the 80% battery bug/glutch/thingy??

I only ask because I am unable to charge my phone while at work (no plugs in an airplane cockpit) and when I'm done at work I need my phone to still have a charge so i can call for the hotel shuttle. So every percent counts for me.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] Slim2none4u:
There has been a great deal of discussion about the battery. This is do to the engineering bootloader used to gain root. Some believe it to be cosmetic. I truly don't know. What I do know is battery life on this rom lasts all day. If you're in a cockpit of a plane, I'm guessing your not on Facebook and Snapchat and such so the battery will last you just like any other.
