Regular odin would be needed to flash the modem or CP file, make sure it is the latest odin version as well.

I'm going to test on my end to double check, but sounds like it was dated Odin. Prince cosmy can only flash files that are modified and stock files fail because of the sha check skipping. Glad you found a ALT route tho to get latest modem installed, I still seem to have some issues with passing form LTE to LTE while using a continuous data connection like Pandora. Seems to get hung-up on 3G and not want to change back to LTE. Been this way since day 1 but otherwise does great.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recove] bestrooted:
Nice rom no issues here. Any chance you can get custom splash screen? Thanks in advance
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recove] Team DevDigitel:
are you talking about the initial samsung logo being changed as well? It does have custom boot animation for bootup after samsung logo, but if you are active under any carrier other then sprint it wont display, you would just need to move my custom qmg loop files to your perspective carrier omc location.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recove] BlueFox721:
Splash Screen is not available to edit on Snaps yet...just exynos....

But like Team DevDigitel states, boot animations can be changed...

Love this build. Thanks for all of the time spent and making it available. Any plans for an 8.x release?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recove] Team DevDigitel:
Unfortunately no, due to 8.0, the samfail path being patched and the sheer fact Samsung took ridiculous steps to put security checks on every partition.

We are unable to achieve a booted and rooted 8.0 due to the bootloader not having a combo variant to disable the dm / se linux security. Unless we can get gifted a eng build or similar its back to square 1. there is still a small team of devs looking for flaws day in and day out, but unfortunately we are all burnt out.

Cost to devote hours on end to reading code, testing routes etc has become overwhelming for all of us and just as we get close another check, another issue arises.

Ill be around, and im monitoring progress here and with the s9 series as they share the same issues in many regards. We will sooner or later find a way but the eta is non existent at the time. Im sorry to relay the bad news to the group here but sadly its the name of the game. Feel free to post q/a and provide feedback as im still here and running the n8, and probably wont be moving to the n9 either. Thank you all for the continued use and support of DevDigitel's work, we strive to provide a better experience for the development community.

Want to make sure I grasp this... The rom is 7.1, but I can still flash even though I'm on 8.0 but U3 baseband via samfail process and flashf app?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recove] anthonykash:
Yes u3 can be down graded to 7.1 to obtain root. Just make sure you never up the bootloader to v4.

Is anyone's camera app crashing when trying to use panorama or any of the plug-ins? I can only take normal pictures and Bixby image search but plug-ins crash the camera. It was happening before I updated and is still happening now that I updated

If I want to go back to stock whats the best way to restore all my apps with its data from a rooted phone to a unrooted phone? I always use TitaniumBackup but I cannot restore apps when I am unrooted.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recove] Halfpastmonkeysass:
Anyone have a minute to help me get this right; I'm on SAMfail QK2 that says December security patch. Should I flash QK3_V1, QK3_V2 ( both November), or QL9_V1 (December)?

Also a BIG thanks to Team DevDigital! Great work!

Also, are the modem files listed with each ROM mandatory for operation? The real question being; can I flash the ROM I need WITHOUT having to Odin part of it in? I use my phone for my internet connection and I want to make sure I have all I need before I go dark. Thanks
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recove] Team DevDigitel:
You can flash my most current build, witch i recommend as its the latest 7.1 that has been released.

Modems are interchangeable and per user preference. In theory the newest one should be the best but you can flash each one and check to see if your service gets better in your home area or not. I prefer being on the newest of everything. I assume its the best lol

Sorry for the late reply i didn't get tag you mis-spelled my name haha no worries.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recove] Team DevDigitel:
Use the samsung smart switch APP, not the desktop version, backup all your data to sd, then use odin to restore to stock 7.1

be aware if you OTA at ALL you will be blocked from root forever. As ALL devs currently have abandoned the work on the N8 / ROOT due to Samfail blocks.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recove] Team DevDigitel:
I posted a fix inside the telegram chat:

Try flashing this
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recove] Halfpastmonkeysass:
I appreciate the help and your hard work! I apologize for the misspell. No disrespect intended.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recove] joelstitch:
Thanks so much. That works great. So at this point with the situation with root do you recommend people going to stock just to have a secure and updated system?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recove] cruckus:
I got my note 8 unlocked but I am roaming with my Verizon Sim in. Is there something I can flash with flashfire or something that will put back all the carrier files you all removed? This is the Sprint variant but I want to be able to use mutliple carriers Sim cards. Any help would be awesome and thanks for the ROM. Been using it forever. Couldn't find the telegram chat or I would've asked there. I forgot to mention I forget what version I'm on but it says QK1. Anyway to check what version I'm on as well? My computer crashed so I lost all the files I used to have to figure it out.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recove] Smartphones13:
I do not have Sprint service, but have a unlock model from Sprint. Can I flash this still through FF?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recove] kenjesse:
1st Allow me too give a big thanks to Team DevDigitel for all there awesome work and one fine ROM. My last rooted device was the Note 4 and then went to the S7 Edge when the Note incurred the dreaded EMMC read failure problem. Got my Note 8 through Best Buy a couple of weeks ago and was very surprised when it arrived running U1AQI5. After setting it up and using for a few days I spent several days reading through this thread and decided to take the plunge and flashed U1_DevDigitel_QI5_V5 so as to preserve the U1 BL. Have been very happy with the ROM… now comes the problem.

My impression from the thread was that any Modem would work with any ROM so I set about testing them to see which would work best for me in my home area. I started with BRB4 (thinking I’d work my way from newest to oldest) flashing with regular Odin and had no problems. However when I tried to flash the RA6 modem my phone booted to a screen saying basically “An Illegal OS has been flashed contact your service provider…blah blah”. Re-flashing the BRB4 modem gets the phone booting up and working with no issues. Flashing any older modem results in the boot to the “You’re screwed screen” with no option but power off and boot to download mode.

Looking in the about phone section it is now showing my baseband and software versions as BRB4 (pics attached I hope) while the build is still DevDigitel SPR QI5. The error has to do, I would think, with the phone thinking I’m attempting to downgrade. The question I have is this… If I dirty flash the QI5_V5 ROM with Flash Fire will that get my modem back to QI5 or would that potentially cause another similar error?

Then again would I just be better off in the long run upgrading to the U3 BL... for some reason I feel I should stay on U1 (not rational I know)...lol

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recove] rtown195:
2 questions : if I'm on the v5 bootloader is QI5 the one I need to flash? will this rom charge past 80 percent?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recove] Wacky2bakky:
Downloading now, thanks man. One question since I'm already rooted and have flashfire, when I do the wipes you recommend, it won't wipe my internal correct? Since we're not messing with Odin
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recove] Team DevDigitel:
Correct zip is not set to wipe internal storage.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recove] Wacky2bakky:
Flashed successfully with absolutely no issues at all. Running smooth as can be and glad to have my Sprint Zone and visual voicemail apps back. The known issues which was the camera and flashlight have been fixed. Keep up the good work man, appreciate it.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recove] Mr nerd:
You plan on adding any battery saving Build.prop tweaks??
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recove] Team DevDigitel:
gonna start modding it a good bit here soon, build prop edits, 3minit clock and battery mods, few other things..

removing the requirement to install some apps on clean install, redoing some xmls. gonna remove vol warnings and some other nag stuff.

damn every time i flash a bad zip i have to odin root and start over, man do i miss twrp right now lol
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recove] Goat1378:
Is the after rooting 20 percent battery life loss still an active issue after the install of the rom?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recove] Mediocrates:
Question asked and answered not even 10 posts previous to yours. :confused: Yes, it's still an issue.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recove] Goat1378:

Do this have Wi-Fi calling??? .. After using the new root methods...Wi-Fi calling Disappear
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recove] Team DevDigitel:
sure does have wifi calling and sprint zone that updates into sprint spot. a few straggling apps that get loaded by the setup wizard are next to go, at least they are not system apps anymore lol
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recove] fogame:
Would it be possible to make the 3minit mods a flashable addon? I set them to be default and most ad-blockers stop them from being used.

If not all is well. Just a thought.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recove] Wacky2bakky:
Just checking in after flashing this a day ago. My phone has never ran this fast and smooth. Thanks again. Looking forward to future mods and updates!!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recove] treoarx:
But the battery life is good though.. No issues over here.. You want even notice -20%
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recove] Goat1378:
Thank you!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recove] Team DevDigitel:
looks like so far so good! I've been flashing the rom multiple times, retesting the phone after flashing etc. Everything seems to work as expected on my end.

This will make it easier once updates come out and we can just flash them over-top of the rom dirty and keep moving forward. Still working on implementing the 3minit mods, trying to iron out some bugs with it, then will inject viper and the arise audio packages. I wanted to get a good feel for how thing are now and then start putting in additions to the build..
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recove] Team DevDigitel:
I posted the 3minit battery mod as a flashable update zip. I still have a lot more to do before releasing the next version of the rom so decided to just throw out a quick update. Link is under mods or in the 2nd post on my rom thread now has links to recommended and tested mods for my rom!

Enjoy!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recove] Wacky2bakky:
Thanks for the 3minit battery mod. Flashed and works great on my Sprint Note 8. Can't wait to see what the future holds with this ROM. Hopefully one day I'll be able to modify the colors of all the status bar icons.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recove] Wacky2bakky:
Forgot to attach a Screenshot
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recove] wtharden:
Man this is some good stuff... I'm with Sprint but still on the stock root and flash your mods perfectly. Looking forward to more of your mods. Didn't want to flash your rom because my battery life is superb and how I want it right now but most likely will flash it sooner than later. KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK & THANKS FOR ALL YOU DO.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recove] Team DevDigitel:
V3 HAS been added to the OP.

Changelog is in post #3. Describing the new adds / removals
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recove] Wacky2bakky:
What steps should we take to update to version 3? I know I need to flash with FF but what all wipes should we perform?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recove] Team DevDigitel:
shouldnt need to wipe anything, but when i did a dirty flash i flashed and choose wipe system, wipe dalvik, wipe cache. I did have a app or 2 of my personal apps start fc and had to uninstall them and re-install them. Otherwise no wipe is necessary unless you are not on my rom yet
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recove] Wacky2bakky:
Flashed V3 successfully. Running smooth as always. Thanks again man. Glad we got a dev on the Sprint side
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recove] joelstitch:
I'm only getting 3g and no LTE. Also the APN settings are greyed out. Anybody experiencing this?

UPDATE: Figured out that the root files I had were updated, downloaded the new ones and now works fine.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recove] Mediocrates:
Yep, LTE works for me also. Upload is nothing to brag about, but I'm diggin' the download speeds. Guess I won't be using my Note 8 as a Plex server, lol. Now to tweak the UI.........
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recove] Mr nerd:
Just wanted to give some feedback been using this rom a few days battery life seems really good so far, its still fast even after restoring my 9001 apps. I'm 1000000% thankful you removed the bloat wear =) so thank you soooooo much for that. Love what youre doing for the Community

YESSS!!!!!

Those are epic.. where you live at if you dont mind me asking ?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recove] Team DevDigitel:
I know benchmark testing in the development community can be somewhat touch and go with peoples feelings on accuracy.

But i wanted to share the new benchmarks i pulled today vs before changing some values in the build.prop. The original photos are attatched to op, the new ones are attached to this post.

Significant improvements across all metrics based of the 1st test run and this test today!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recove] Wacky2bakky:
Nice improvements! Definitely better then stock for sure
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recove] Team DevDigitel:
I agree. The stock note8 test in my demo with nothing on it ran a score in between the n8 snap and note 8 exy variants. So it's a bump up with being deodexed and cleaned up and another with the build prop edits I'm putting together.

I personally feel like it's flying a ton faster now.. I had to make some changes and do more testing before adding it to the rom as some of the edits caused video playback issues and some app fc issues. Primarily messing with the dalvik cache stuff. I'll be building v4 soon tho. Probably will drop in viper and the arrise audio stuff with this revision also just haven't had a ton of free time. Off sun Monday tho so I'll have the time soon.

Glad to hear it's going well for everyone so far. Ill be around for support and such
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recove] Wacky2bakky:
Damn.... Adding some build prop edits and this rom is faster? It's already flying, didn't think it could run any better lol. Excited for v4

Found the app after digging into my s8+ to bring Dex station for user who use it just move to system/private-app in it's own folder and set permission to both of them 755 644
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recove] Team DevDigitel:
is this patched to allow use with root? i dont personally have a dex to verify so im assuming dex is broken with root and this is patched to restore dex services?

or is this to be able to use dex launcher with any dock? Good find on either front but im unsure how to classify and make sure this isn't something that's already included and working as-is?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recove] dyra502:
yes I just tested and it work great. Just to restore dex launcher when i didn't have it installed it just screen mirror my phone and and give a quick error dex services cant start if this help any.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recove] woodyjlw:
is this for the dual sim/unlocked note 8 or the actual sprint note 8 cause I thought the bootloader was locked and can not flash roms...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recove] Team DevDigitel:
This is for the Samsung N950U, the snapdragon variant. Sprint primarily.

We can not build aosp because of the bootloader lock, cant do anything to the boot.img for the device as this runs off a eng build boot.img that has dm verity and selinux disabled for eng purposes that also allows us to have a custom system
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recove] woodyjlw:
thanks for the reply!! so if i am understanding you correctly you have just taken a samsung recovery image that can be flashed with odin and modified it? so still now twrp cause thats part of the boot.img that we currently have no ability to modify cause its locked.....

thanks!!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recove] Team DevDigitel:
you would just use the samfail method and install the custom system.img [MENTION=4591212]me2151[/MENTION] and the team created for root. once booted you will be rooted and have the option to use flashfire to flash my rom. You could build your own odin flashable img and push it to the phone using the modified odin "princecomsy" and then install ap,bl,cp from sam fail and hope for the best. You need to build the img in linux or it wont install fyi.

link for root: https://xdaforums.com/galaxy-note-8/development/root-samfail-galaxy-note8-t3685340

and yes there is no twrp due to locked bootloader, and no magisk or anything kernel related as the boot.img must be the eng img like in my rom, or stock img if you have a fully stock system.

and my rom is based of the stock tar for sprint sm-950u, i have deodexed it, created sym links and perm links, added csc files, removed all other carriers info but sprint, modified the systemui and some other things like debloat, zip align and adb/remount mods. This is to only be flashed with flashfire app
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recove] carbon271:
Just curious to ask is the camera fixed and flahlight i used the flashlight alot
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recove] Wacky2bakky:
Yes, both the camera and flashlight work now
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recove] Team DevDigitel:
Well... Version 4 is posted in op!

Some atheistic changes and more under the hood stuff rolling out. Hadn't got around to finishing the systemui for 3minit clock but wanted to put a update out for nov1.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recove] Team DevDigitel:
found a fix to get shealth working for us root guys =)

ill be making these changes to the build prop in version 5. but wanted to share here so anyone missing the shealth can get it back

These were ALL the edits i made that returned shealth to working status and no longer tipped by knox.

ro.config.knox=0

ro.config.tima=0

ro.config.timaversion=3.0

these were also changed but i dont think its needed for shealth but they dont cause any issues being set to false, so go ahead and change these also, this will make our boot.img match our build.prop, as selinux and dmverity are both set to 0 in the boot.img

ro.config.dmverity=false

ro.build.selinux=false
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recove] Team DevDigitel:
turned this into a flash-able zip to simplify things.

Anyone with a desktop dock that wants to test and see if this works?

FlashFire - Select this Zipped file, and choose the mount system read/write and then flash, no wipes required. I know it installs correctly and is now present in the right directories but i'm unsure if its being blocked by root etc. I dont have one to test but this should work based of the post being quoted.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recove] cruckus:
So two things I haven't seen mentioned anywhere. One on v4 I cannot get supersu to work it just keeps force closing. Also every time I reset my phone with a fresh install or just dirty flashing the Rom, I have to skip the setup by touching all the corners of the screen. Anyone else having those issues?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recove] Team DevDigitel:
I haven't had any issue with su on my end. You should reflash on a clean build and get a fresh dl as well. Make sure to check wipe system,wipe 3rd party, wipe cache & wipe dalvik.

On setup wizard i noticed you have to get past the page where you turn on Wi-Fi and it acts kinda funny like it's having trouble connecting, and it will throw you back to main page and now have LTE/ connected to Wi-Fi. Verify ur google if you had frp active and keep pushing forward
