Are the two warnings listed under the requirements under the OP still valid? I am a little confused by the OPs usage of Revision 2 and suggesting this works for 955U. I'm on Version 2 of the bootloader, somebody asked a few comments up abotu my specific firmware, and got a reply suggesting flash BQK5... that's easy enough, but then in the OP it says not to perform this install if you're on version 2 of the bootloader. Just looking for a confirmation.

I'm also on G955USQS2BQL1... can I use BQK5 as a downgrade since it's also on Bootloader version 2 and that's why we're being told to use that whereas SamPWND would fail in ODIN given it's on Bootloader version 1?

Specific warnings below from OP:

Requirements

Warning! You MUST be on a revision 1 bootloader to use this ROM!

If you are on a recent oreo beta, you are probably on revision 2

Example 2: G950USQU2BQK5

Bootloader revision is 2. Do not flash! Attempts will fail with "Failed! (Auth)".
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] sabresfan:
If you are on the version 2 bootloader than you can use the version 2 of this room with no problem. You just can't go back to version 1 bootloader.

So now that i've flashed once with the G955USQU1AQK3 version. Flash again with SM-G955USQU2BQK5 version?

---------- Post added at 12:31 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:05 AM ----------

I tried to use this but it says model mismatch when i attempted to upload it in Odin.

I upgraded from base band version G955USQU1AQK3 This multi region csc is for G955UOYN2BQK5
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] Palingenesis:
I flashed the CSC file from sampwned thread. I downloaded the four files and extracted the CSC and flashed it with flashfire. I also went into the data settings and changed it from LTE to auto. This worked for me.

Unrelated: I have since gone back to stock before the update2 and have yet to try the new update here. I was getting a weird display glitch that would sometimes make my screen have a yellow hue with black lines through it. Turning the screen on and off would fix it for awhile. It was probably a bad flash. It just worried me. I also was unable to use DirectvNOW.. These seem like isolated issues, as I have not seen mention of these before. Thanks for the great work OP.

Regarding the 80% battery issue:

Has anyone tried this: https://xdaforums.com/android/general/guide-how-to-callibrate-battery-device-t3308554?

I doubt it's a solution, but you never know. If I go ahead with rooting my own phone, I'll give it a go. I just don't have the time at the moment.

I Download both files Ap and Bl for G955USQU1AQK3.

I followed all the instructions.

Did the factory reset at the correct time.

I can call, i can receive calls, I can use data, I can receive texts, I can NOT send texts.

I am on Verizon.

Multiple people have told me to flash the correct CSC for my carrier that is supposedly listed on page 1. I don't see any csc multi file on page 1. I have tried 3 different sources of a CSC file specifically listed for my baseband version for VRZ. Odin fails every time i attempt to flash them telling me i have a model mismatch.

I AM CONFIRMED DUMB. Had to flash Carrier Specific CSC from Flashfire not try to drop it in with ODIN

yes but not all features like restore or back up is featured in anyones rom. Its only partially fixed there
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] klark1kent:
So is the verdict on jkruze rom including Samsung cloud that you CAN or that you CANNOT restore data from Samsung Cloud? I just want to be clear here as I was able to gain root through this method, but Google Play botched the initial app data restore and Drive isn't giving me the option to manually restore, also, there's no Samsung Account section or Cloud options in Settings anywhere...... so before I go over there and do this entire process again just checking on whether or not you can successful access Samsung Cloud but ALSO restore data? Since no one else from what I'm seeing in the forums has a solution to Samsung Cloud issue I'm really curious. If I can't, since I took a backup in it before original wipe I'd like to restore, I'll just stay on this rom and start from scratch with regular TB backups lol thanks!

I'm also kind of curious as to if Sidesync works with root. To me it's the best and most overlooked feature of these devices and only way i've lived without snapprefs this past year :)
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] f3lking:

Phone Stuck?

I went into download mode and tried to download AP files onto my phone but now its stuck at Download Do Not Turn Off Target. On Odin it says failed like the instructions informed, but there was no error message or phone reboot. Do I wait it out?

So, a question for all. I have a t-mobile 955U. I used SamPwnd when root first came out to root my phone. The next gen SamPwnd came out about a month or 2 later and I upgraded to that.

I want to install this update.

Are there any special instructions I should be following to do this correctly?

Also, should I upgrade my bootloader to V2, or stay where I am?

Also, would I be able to restore my FlashFire data from my "full" backup?

I have read this thread, and am just looking for an answer or 2 for my particular situation.

If anything need to be done special, please let me know! I'm looking forward to giving tgis bad boy a go!!!

Thank you all!!!!

Green hue issue here, too. White balance is off in general. Turing screen on and off sometimes fixes it. Screen not going to full brightness occasionally and flickering as well. 955u.

Is it possible to delete the V4A and Dolby Atmost installed currently to replace it with something like A.R.I.S.E audio mod? I used to flash it on my g4 but I saw Flashify and Flashfire on the playstore so I was wondering if I could just uninstall the V4A and DA already installed for the other mod.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] agroff1993:
This isn't an issue with this rom, just a bug in the root in general, similar to the 80% battery issue.

I can't answer your two specific questions but can reassure you that flashing this on t-mobile 955u will not cause you any issues other than removal of some Samsung specific capabilities which is normal. I was on V2 bootloader ...search my previous posts here and flashed. I did have to perform the procedure twice though. BQK5 files is what I used.

Sometimes just letting the system settle and maybe a couple of reboot cycles and they should all work just fine. Same thing happened to me upon freshly flashing. I was ready to flash the standalone supersu zip and everything just started working. Hope this helps in any way!

Not sure about deleting them, but I do believe upon flashing arise, in the prop file you have to edit in your storage, there is an option for removing previous iterations. I believe anyway, been a while since I flashed it, considering my build has been pretty stable. I've just been using the viper that came installed and can honestly tell no difference.

As agroff1993 noted above, this is an issue with the root itself. I had the annoying green screen show up once while on this ROM. Simply reboot and it's gone. It's more of an annoyance than anything.

80% battery is the engineering kernel used for root. Don't look for a fix if you want root.

[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] partcyborg:
The sound setup in this rom is superior to arise. The only way it could be better is if you flashed the new sauron mkii. Unfortunately the ainur crew doesn't allow roms to preinstall sauron. I got special permission to use Pandora which is the precursor to sauron and on our s8/+ sounds as good if not better than the mk I version. Mkii blows it out of the water though.

Trust me, give it a shot, you'll see :). This is coming from a self proclaimed audiophile who spends entirely too large a percentage of his salary on audio toys year after year. I put a lot of time and love into the signal path, as this setup is the first thing that has ever sounded good enough from a phone to not make me carry around a high end dac/amp everywhere that weighs more than the phone does ?. Next rom I'm gonna add jamesDSP into the mix, which has a far superior convolver implementation than v4as (sonically and mathematically, viper has a less cpu intensive algorithm as to function on lower end hardware, jamesDSP will happily eat your cpu for better sounding music if you want it to ☺️). Viper will stay though, as I personally use both: viper for ddc, clarity and spectrum extension (and a little dynamic system sometimes), jamesDSP for convolver and bass boost (jamesDSP has THE BEST bass extension I have ever heard. It seriously sounds like I have 2 subs in my ears).

If any of y'all are interested I'll share my profiles for the s8 IEMs. Those are also the first pair of iems I've ever been able to wear without my ears hurting (that is until my custom made top of the line professional hifi iems are finished and sent to me in Feb ???). To get exactly what I listen to every day you will have to spend a few dollars (literally a few, like $2 or $3) on the IRS that I use, but I promise you if you like your music sounding amazing it's probably the best few bucks you'll ever spend. For those of you who aren't as serious if there is interest I'll make versions that use free irs that I can distribute. They won't sound as good but they will still sound good, know what I mean? ?

Okay I finally got it thanks to your help! :) just to clarify for others though (because I had to attempt this multiple times before i figured it out...), you have to flash both the AP & BL files before restarting the instructions in order for it to work.
