I am EXTREMELY interested in this amazing from working on N950U1... if you could use that as a base... maybe the K3 version, I bet my Note 8 would beat an iPhone on Antutu!

(Or could you maybe tweak the N950 rom that is already out to allow for US model flashing? We have 0 roms for US Note 8. I'm going to cry. I just sold my Note 4, it was badass with custom Note7 rom, aroma installer, nice deodexed tweak goodness lol. Now I have this BEAST of a phone and its sad and lonely without your coding lol
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] partcyborg:
Unfortunately I'm pretty sure exynos roms are out of the question, as they almost always require custom kernels which we can't do. I've been meaning to spend a little time trying for some s8/s8+ ports, but again the issue of "I can't test one without a device" issue applies. These sort of projects are very iterative at least the way I do them, which means a lot of "push the os, see what breaks and fix it". Without the "see what breaks" part I can't really make any progress, and if I sent it to someone every time I could probably be done before the note 11 is out but not much before ?

As for pcr on the n8, if I have time I'll give it a shot
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] OptimuSlime:
To be clear I have a N950U Snapdragon. I have it rooted, carrier switched from Ver to TMO, and am more than happy to test. I don't have one to mail you but if be happy to test anything you think might work, or pull files if you need.

Edit

If you could make a clone of your S8 rom but with U1 Unlocked base... dang that's just be awesome :) I'd buy you a coffee!

more than 80% here..

Been on CRA9 for the last 2 days, tried this again tonight, got kernel panic, then it froze on the splash screen. Rebooted, Upload mode message. Recovery reset again, then booted up. I had 89% battery ( I was fully at 100% when i first started (so maybe once i drop below 80 i can;'t get back any higher)) but currently charging and i started charging at 89% and it's dropped to 87%.

But the reason for this post is because i can't get flashfire .0.73 (current) to run. I start it, "trying to get root" and just spins, then exit out and close it. then i get "loading... with the spinning circle" but it's never worked. i have reinstalled 3 times already. I need FF to install some of the bixby button things so i can use the button for other purposes.

Any help or ideas! ??

Toggle Airplane Mode on when opening FF. It's a common issue. I never experienced it when using FF but many have.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] TacoTuco:
I've dealt with this problem for now and it hasn't been a big deal but now I'm getting slighlty annoyed by it. I've been getting many Kernel Panics and random reboots throughout the day. I've gotten at minimum maybe 2 a day but at Max it can get up to 6 a day. From what I can tell it happens more if I use my device more. I have no idea what to do. Often times I'll be doing random things on my phone and my phone will just freeze up and I can't do anything till I force reboot it.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] flipper2006:
That worked! How did you know that :) I wouldn't ever have thought of that. Is that a bug in flash fire?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] djcrystals:
I think so. I never messed with FF until I picked up this s8+. I was able to use TWRP on my Moto Pure. Either way, it is a pretty nifty tool when a custom recovery isn't an option. I've scoured everything in these s8 forums last couple months. I just remembered people having that issue.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] partcyborg:
What is the panic message? If it says "ext4" in it then it's corruption from hardware issues flashing, yours just weren't bad enough to cause the process to fail. I forget, are you someone who had to do the process more then once due to invalid argument?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] jwmcfadden1:
Quick question

Will this only work on the specific build number you have listed? Qk3 or qk5? I ask because I've upgraded and am on a newer build. Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] partcyborg:
Nope, it installs it's own version from scratch (hence the wipe) so as long as you are on or before bootloader revision 2 (hint; there is no 3 yet) then you can run this mod. JFYI the latest version is in bootloader 2 so if you are still in 1 installing it will upgrade you making you unable to run version 1 roms anymore. This isn't normally something to worry about so if you don't know what this is then don't worry about it ;)

Ok guys. If you didn't see my thread, I found OEM Unlock toggle in the US Note 8, And I believe it'll work for all Snapdragons in the US. Things are looking up :) Cyborg I'm going to try using the combination file to get OEM back, then do a reboot into DL, then flash only U1 software skipping the BL. I'm hoping it'll leave the OEM Option on. I'll letcha know.

I removed minmingaurd and have yet to have a Bluetooth issue. Rebooted multiple times and a factory reset.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] TacoTuco:
I'll have to check what it says next time it happens but as far as I know my installation went pretty smoothly. Only issue I ran into was not being able to open flash fire. Sometimes when it does reboot and say kernel panic the error does change and it'll reboot in different ways. If I'm listening to music or calling someone when it reboots it'll make a loud constant tone from the speaker until I make it reboot by pressing power, volume down, and bixby button. Other times my phone will just freeze all together and the screen it was on won't move so I'll have to reboot it manually. And lastly my phone will just reboot randomly. Over night sometimes. But I digress I'll check what error is next time it happens.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] OptimuSlime:
So what's the line in your build.prop that corresponds to OEM Unlock? Can someone type it in or send me their build.prop please?

Cyborgggg.... What's up brother.. Amazing work!!!! I just have a couple comments.. One.. That was humble asf of you to not say more than you did with someone following you AROUND to try and be able to say you were wrong.... Lol that's what I always like about you brother!!! You have one one of the most amazing attitudes on all of Xda!! And you always are here to help... We need more people like you in this world..

Second... Do you remember the s3 Alliance 23 rom? If you do is it ANYWAY we could ever incorporate any of those personalization options into this or any other rom you may port? If you don't remember it let me know and I'll get ya some screenshots from my webpage that I use to show options for devices etc. That I offer to flash after root, and custom recovery etc. Helps with the bills sometimes. Lol. You wouldn't believe how many safestrap devices I've done.. They LOVE some of those older devices.. Just let me know if ya get time... Thanks and Godbless brother..

[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] OptimuSlime:
Nice rom!

I bet this could be tweaked to work on the N950U/U1... Maybe take the NON-HLOS, ABL.ELF, KEYMASTER.MBN and of course the Camera, Flash and Spen features from the U1...

By the way PC, the boot video looks very nice :)

Especially how it stays animated while waiting for it to boot on my Note 8 :D

Since there's a Rom or two for exynos S8/S8+/N8 it shouldn't be too surprising this runs, but I was pretty stoked anyway !!!

Which Odin are you using?

Try different versions. Including PCOdin.

Make sure it's a USB 2.0 port.

Try repartitioning and nand erasing all.

After you have exhausted these check back.

[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] OptimuSlime:
EDIT:

[ I just got the Note 8, love it and hope for badass roms... but if we 're gonna pitch in for a dev phone, I'm of the opinion it should be 600mhz compatible. Tmobile now uses "band 71" 600mhz spectrum, and sadly phones without it will be replaced soon enough for phones with it.

When LTE was new the Galaxy S4 didn't have the capability. So Tmobile just released a new version to all the suckers who just paid top dollar for the non LTE model. I feel like there will be a 600mhz capable note 8 rerelease and that would be a good choice. Just my 19 cents]

Not a bad idea! I have a feeling he's got enough testers though that we'll see some progress soon :D

Or maybe someone else will take the stock U1, remove Knox, zipalign and deodex. I know it's a lot to ask, but maybe, just maybe, if we all put our heels together and wish for it...

Usually, as in the Pwnfail method, when you get Unknow Error it's best to flash BL, AP and CP, optionally CSC.

Are you halfway thru the Pwnfail or installin the g955 rom?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] TacoTuco:
Hey guys im freaking out right now. I know that its not officially supported and the dev is probably not gonna send help, but i flashed the xposed framework through flashfire (i found it in the S8+ forums) and my phone rebooted but not its just stuck on the "Xfinity Mobile" screen. I tried to get to Rcovery to factory reset but it keeps going to the Upload mode screen so idk what to do. Also when i go to download mode my computer doesnt recognize my device, itll make the sound that its connected but the COM:8 thing wont show up in odin
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] Slim2none4u:
Don't know why you used flashfire. The Official Xposed app will install it. No need to use twrp or FF.

If you can get to recovery, do a factory reset. Then from recovery boot to download mode. Then flash your stock fw.

If your computer isn't recognizing your phone, try a different USB port (not 3.0). Try restarting your computer as well. Reinstall your drivers.

If you can't get to recover and you can't get your computer to recognize your phone, then Congratulations on your new paper weight.

When I have an issue with something there is a long dedicated thread for that's too long to reasonably read start to finish I use the "search this thread" search box on top to try a few searches for the most significant words and/or phrases that describe my issue. Try that next time and not only will you likely not ask a duplicate question, you will find the answer right away and not have to wait ?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] Complexityyz:
Yea i used the search options but I guess I wasn't using the right terms. So i started reading the thread start to finish and I found out why I was getting kernel panic. I was used to all of the BL, AP CP and CSC files matching the same build number BQK5 so I flashed BQK5 then tried to install and i didn't work. Then after reading most of the thread I saw a post saying that you didn't have to flash from BQK5 so I flashed BQL1 and tried again and it worked perfectly. I don't usually browse XDA so I'm getting used to it. By the way great job on the rom and the root it works perfectly I was on oreo beta before and this is much better.

Hello Everyone,

Thank you so much for all your hard work! I just have a quick question regarding this root method (or ROM with built in root?) as I have been out of the loop for a while and am curious to what progress has been made since my last update. Does this work on the Canadian snapdragon varient? (SM-G955W) I've read a few posts here that mentioned people have tried it on that variant and had many issues. And also, do we have a way of unlocking the bootloader yet? I heard there was root for the Snapdragon S8 and S8+ but, last I heard, we had a locked bootloader preventing any apps requiring SafetyNet from working at all. Can this ROM or root method bypass that?

Thank you so much
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] OptimuSlime:
Bootloader still locked... using the carrier switching guide you should be able to flash G955U first then this will work if it doesn't work right away on Canadian. I would try it as is first, the process goes fast. This is the same root method we have had, and safetynet is still a no go.

The Canadian model is the same as US except for the csc codes and Rom. So nice not to have 15 models to mess with anymore lol.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] vgplayer54:
Thank you so much for your reply. Just trying to interpret "the same root that sneaks in and still no safetynet" part you mentioned. Are you saying the root sneaks in and does not find safetynet apps? or that the apps requiring the safetynet check still can't run?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] OptimuSlime:
Edited for clarity. Same root method, so still no TWRP or safety net.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] partcyborg:
No on both of those things, which don't involve root they require an unlocked bootloader. Recovery is unrelated to root, it's custom recovery. Safetynet you can pass without root of course but to pass with root you must have unlocked bootloader because you have to modify 1 of the 2 to root and, again, can't modify boot due to bootloader lock and modifying system causes dm-verity to fail

[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] partcyborg:
Not possible as of yet. There is no rootable boot image for Oreo. My guess is there won't be until Oreo is out fully, and possibly even after that before we see a factory boot for oreo. Without it there would need to be a serious exploit in the Android kernel to be able to neuter selinux so that becoming root is possible
