[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] Tan9890:
Hi, I'm trying to get back to stock after flashing and using this rom for a couple of months now. Amazing rom, but some of the apps just dont work, and I need to get back to stock. However, whenever I try to flash a stock firmware, I get a "[boot] fused 2 > binary 1". I read the forum, and got that I'm probably trying to flash a downgraded firmware.

What would be the correct firmware to flash? I've tried CRF5, CRB9 and AQL1, but still gives the same error. I've tried using both the Odin versions too, the regular and PrinceComsy, but no avail. Also tried both USB .0 and USB 3.0 ports.

Any solutions?

Apologies, if I missed an answer in the post. Its too large to read everything now.

I'm on the G955U1 on XAA.

What bootloader stock firmware were you on before rooting? Whatever it was, you have to Odin a stock firmware with the same bootloader.

[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] Blade22222:
Yes.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] TheMadScientist:
I can about guarantee the day you hear our bootloader is unlocked or hacked, Will be the day we fix this 80%

I to this day am still tearing this device apart file by file Pretty sure I got the location of it down close But with locked bootloader and unable to make any full write changes to the kernel We will never fix it....

I have gone as far as tricking the system into full and empty gauge percentages. Charged to 87 or more%

I even had a full 80% charge tricked into less than 0 and tripped auto shutdown despite actual voltage readings.

I know I am not the smartest one here But I got a pretty good knack for most of this....

To put this answer in short The current kernel will never allow for full charge Thank you Samsung

But keep in mind as for a whole in battery longevity 80% and 20 % are optimum charge percentages for over all max life on a battery as in cycles

So relly no complaints in my book as I am stuck with mine for a while and dont feel like cracking the real seal..

Custom kernel = full charge

You also get more battety life with this rom than you do on stock, so it's literally not a reason to base a decision around
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] odessacurtin:
Excellent job on this rooted rom. although i can only base that opinion from all of the replies i've read in the thread. lol. I have an 8-12hour download time for the AP which i don't mind. But it fails like 4 hours in. This is my third attempt. Crossing fingers.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] bradical711:
That happened to me too with any ROM I tried to download from XDA. I have crappy internet so it's no surprise for me but anytime I tried downloading anyone's ROM for my device via my home network, it failed 10/10 times. Wether I tried to download it from my phone or computer, it always failed for me. Data or wifi it still failed. Sometimes it would fail 5 mins in or 5 hours later and I could never find out why. Even using different browsers didn't help. The way I got my stuff downloaded was via going to someone else's house I knew who had 5G wifi. There were other times though where my friends wasn't available so I had to go to a local store I knew that had fast wifi that finally allowed me to download stuff. Long story short, if it keeps failing for you, you're gonna need to find some place with faster WiFi and hopefully that's an option for you.

Indeed, viper4android is the one thing that's keeping me from giving up root. And the fact that magisk doesn't work on locked bootloaders
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] stillriza:
You and me both. Viper4android is the only *tweak* I have installed on my s8+. I've tried so hard to stick with it, but eventually gave up on the s8+ and moved to a LG v30. If it wasn't for all the hard work Partcyborg and the other guys have put into this I would'a dumped the s8 months ago. I've been a Samsung user for soo long too, but I think this may be the end of the line for me unless newer Sammy devices get unlocked BL's, root, etc. etc. Still think the S8/S9 twins are the best looking in the game.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] Engr610:

[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] State.of.mind:
Yes, this method ONLY works with the S8+ V5. You have to use the PartCyborg AP files, and use the appropriate BL files found here https://xdaforums.com/verizon-galaxy-s8+/development/rom-t3771206

[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] bradical711:
Yeah you seemed to have missed the fact that this ROM specifically only supports BL revision 3 and below and by your BL revision number your on BL number 5 which is higher than 3. So of course it is failing for you. This root method will not work for and you cannot downgrade either so you are outta luck like everyone else who updates their phone lol.

---------- Post added at 10:17 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:13 PM ----------

It also states it in the OP for reference. Although it's talking about BL 4, it's safe to assume BL 5 patches the exploit even further.

(BL_PartCyborgRom_G955U_U3BQL1_R5.zip) my baseband version ends in RE2. (G955USQS3CRE2) I didn't see anything about downgrading so am I ok to just follow the instructions and flash away?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] TheMadScientist:
If it was like the reg s8 we had to flash the bootloader he provided first then start with his instructions. Oreo blocked this method but his bootloader knocks it back to a nougat bootloader I think. Then this will work. As long as you got 3 boooader your fine the basebands are different in his roms. For us it's the bootloaders that matter.

I for the life of it cannot get screen casting to work with my TV

Me and cyborg tried the build prop add in I found nothing I can wifi direct my tv accepts and starts but never finishes and casts.

It worked stock once

And it works on my wife oreo S8

Wondering if you might have any knowledge on this

I can download various Roku apps aon my device and TV they work but stock screen cast will not :eek::eek::eek:

I didnt debloat much from my build So I dont think its this

Can logs pick up a issue on this or am I out of luck

Thanks for reply. I think I figure it out. I was not supposed to install it on a Verizon S8+. It did work but it was say thing like watch faces not available in my country when using wear app. So I had to go back to stock and head over to the Verizon s8+ page found jrkuse's oreo everything works Sam pay on both my phone and S3, wifi hotspot, no root but all I rooted for was wifi hotspot. Great job jrkuse !
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] jrkruse:
So it appears it maybe related too root. On S7 I have an easy root/unroot rom that can be rooted to change something on system and then easily unrooted so safetynet and Samsung apps work and people have mentioned the same thing that it wont work while rooted but as soon as they unroot it works fine. Im going to investigate this a little more. If you could pull me a log that would be great
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] TheMadScientist:
So after months I mean months Cyborg will concur I some how fixed it this morning downloaded a app for miracast buton or something it take me and boots right into casting and in notification bar says its smart view

I did 2 build prop edits and this app

It wont work unless I shortcut through it So I am happy either way now:good::good::good:

Thank you to for the input

BTW this whole time my TV accepted it and began loading progress bar on tv always hung about half way sat for about 1 min then exited

Smart view always told me cant mirror while wifi direct is on So it has been a juggling act back and forth between smart view and wifi direct

I got pictures to upload here shortly

Apparently uploading pics is funky today

i run it from this shortcut and Finally just went through

We do a lot of online shopping and junk so it makes it so much easier being able to just cast phone when im looking up on it

Question... I am getting a model dismatch error when trying to flash the BL version 5 file located on page 193. My baseband ends in 5CRH1... I am on Oreo stock from T-Mobile at the moment. What am I doing wrong? I was using Princecomsy odin .
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] bradical711:
Model mismatch means you are either trying to flash an S8 file on the S8+ or vice versa. The BL file you are talking about is for the S8+ not the regular S8 so that might be your problem. Also it is a combination firmware so if you don't know what that is or how to use it, it won't help you flashing random files that "match" your device baseband version....

---------- Post added at 07:51 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:39 PM ----------

Believe it or not, with the right setup and a lot of testing, you can make it bump like bazooka tubes back in the day lol. Anyways James DSP is mainly for fine tuning bass and won't actually help you make any of car speakers or any speaker really, louder per say. All the settings in James DSP are meant for bass and such. If you want actual audio gains in sound, especially in a car, you're going to have to mess with Dolby Atmos toggles, Viper4Android and James DSP. And because it's a car you're going to have to do a lot of sitting in your car, playing with all the different settings for each individual audio app, play with the speaker settings in your car and finally, a whole lot of listening. If anything, don't try and make your speakers too loud because if it starts to crackle etc you'll end up blowing out your car speakers. And just throwing this out there for reference but it took me a couple weeks to master my car audio and make it sound nice, it isn't easy unless you're an audiophile, which I'm not, hence why it took me a couple weeks to find the perfect balance of audio gains, clarity, and bass. And I have a Jeep, and if you don't know anything about Jeep's.. default audio in Jeep's are a POS lol.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] flipper2006:
I'm using V4A and the most important setting i think is CLARITY - I have mine set for the 11 oclock position and choose rock in FIRE EQ settings. I can crank it and it's clear in my car to 40+ (on my standard Lexus IS headunit (not Mark Levinson) and it sounds really good, the base is clean and not distorted). I listen to Rock mainly so everyone might have different opinions. -- I didnt like the James DSP, it seemed to scorch some of the tones. But it works really well with spotify Extreme quality.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] partcyborg:
You really should try using the convolver in jamesdsp for using the .irs files instead of the one in viper. The one in jdsp is designed to be better quality than the v4a one as viper runs on so many older devices it drops samples so that it doesn't overload old phones. Jdsp does not do this and will eat some more cpu but will always sound better.

Newer versions of jdsp also support ddc files from viper too, so my need for v4a keeps shrinking lol. I still use it for pushing up subbass only (viper Bass with knob set to 40hz and +10-+12 on natural setting.) And spectrum extension and sometimes viper clarity on it's lowest setting but sometimes that one is way too harsh.

If I am running rooted v2 bootloader and I flash the new v3 update, will I brick the phone? What are the benefits of the v3 update?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] bradical711:
There isn't anything new with the new BL revisions other than just attempted patches and fixes for security related things. It won't improve battery life or stability really. It's just another update, same with other BL revisions. The only reason to update is if you personally want to and you see the smaller benefits and like updates as well as liking to be on the "latest" anything really. And a side note, which doesn't matter since it's hypothetical of course but it's something to consider, if the BL ever gets unlocked for our our devices, you have to imagine it would only apply to earlier BL revisions since newer ones usually have attempted fixes at such things. So really, it's up to you to update, your call if you see benefits for yourself. And generally, it's always better to be on an older BL revision anyway if you like having ROM choices for root on our locked BL for now. Not all choices will be eliminated but some older original ones will be, if you care about any of that for your specific device but that might require some searching here on XDA first so you know what BL to not go past for said ROM's.
