I would've thought so but it seems that it can't complete the setup so it sits on Android is setting up for a bit and then trys to let me set it up and then reboots again. It's done it like ~10 times with no change. I'm flashing back to sampwnd engineering and trying it from there. Do you think taking out my sim might help to get past setup?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] Goddly:
So, you flashed part 1 via, flash fire? Did you mount system read/Write when flashed? Disable ever root? Then Odin part 2 with comsy with admin privileges?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] Arden144:
FlashFire doesn't give an option for system read/write when flashing the ap md5. Unless i'm missing something. I'm clicking flash firmware file. Do I need to mount it with a terminal
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] smbusse:
[MENTION=8360749]partcyborg[/MENTION], An additional piece to the puzzle is the model number of the rom is still G995U, instead of G995U1 like it was when I flashed the multi-csc the first time I attempted this process. I also am unable to verify root in FlashFire, but I am able to verify it everywhere else. Something is not picking up or being flashed properly it appears (yes, it is USB 2.0, I've done two separate ports actually throughout my experimenting).

People who have xposed install.. Any issues? Or how's battery?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] 10.west:
Zero issues with the handful of xposed modules I'm running. Battery is the best of any of the roms I've used.

Probably going to ditch Nova launcher for the smooth TouchWiz this room delivers
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] jhofseth:
Pretty soon we will have to switch to version 2 of bootloader. The latest combo bootloader has version 2, as do latest carrier and Oreo betas from what I've heard. [MENTION=8360749]partcyborg[/MENTION] may update PCB ROM thusly. We S8+ Snapdragon people need not fear not being able to revert, because [MENTION=8360749]partcyborg[/MENTION] could easily include EDL instructions in OP if he felt it necessary. :)
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] partcyborg:
It's not saying g955u1 because it's not based off of a u1 rom, it's based off of a g955u rom ?. I have no idea where the u1 came from other than probably whatever this CSC is ?.

If you have it still in this mode, try 1 more time of flashing BL part 2 like it says in op and factory reset while still running

What were your settings in Odin for the part one flash?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] billa:
Boot-looping is usually due to DMVerity failure caused by flashing "unaproved" stuff, so you may want to disable this security.

Reflash SamFail again, then run these commands immediately after the first bootup.

If boot-looping kicks in before being able to finish, just try it again after the reboot.

Run it from your ADB folder, or save it in a .bat file and run as a batch file.

Note, not all commands are required for every phone model, but it won't hurt to execute them all.

adb shell pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.android.sharedstoragebackup

[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] smbusse:
Ah. First time around it went to g955u1, so that makes sense.

I flashed back to stock last night because I needed a working phone, but before I did I tried flashing the BL file and wiping twice more. The first time I did it with auto reboot on again, to put me right back into recovery. I wiped and restarted. No luck. So I flashed it another time, and this time I turned auto reboot off. The reason I did this was because your instructions state after flashing BL in Part 2 that your phone will stay in download mode, and you need to press certain key combinations to get back to recovery. I followed the steps as explained, went to recovery, wiped, restarted, nothing. No matter what I did with the BL at that point the CSC would not activate unless manually flashed. I considered taking my old Verizon CSC from the stock Rom I had but I don't like messing with things I'm not 100% sure how they'll work.

My settings in part 1 were the three settings listed in the instructions, "Auto-Reboot", "F-Reset Time", and "Nand Erase All".

I'm willing to try it all again from scratch tonight. But I can say I've followed the Odin instructions to a T a full three times now and it installs everything perfectly, just doesn't activate the CSC :/

-Edit-

Ah. I see you've updated the original post quite heavily. You BL part 2 instructions no longer state you need to use key combinations to get back to recovery. I just want to make it clear that the steps you have in the instructions now are exactly the ones I followed from a fresh flash.

I only wiped once, and it was after the part 2 BL flash.

1) Flash AP

2) Phone went to upload mode stating unknown error

3) Key command into download

4) Flash part 2 BL with auto reboot on

5) Phone goes to recovery

6) Wipe/Factory Reset

7) Restart Phone

I have a S8+ model F955U from verizon, Runing Android Oreo 8.0, with Baseband G955USQU3CRD4 (meaning that bootloader revision is 3 right?)

I just need a way to root this device but i havent find anything for it, so i see that this is a kind of "custom rom", is there a way to just root this phone or i must need to complete this process?

Thanks in advance
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] partcyborg:
You really don't want to run a pure stock rom with root, as there are a whole bunch of security settings and things that cause all sorts of problems for root usage if they aren't removed. While this is a "custom rom", it's not like aosp or something, it's simply stock but with those security things removed, along with some other stuff that makes the rom faster, and adds in some cool mods I found made my device more enjoyable. Install this if you want root, and if you don't like it there is a stock rooted rom somewhere else in the forum
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] netio7:
Thanks for your response, that means that i can complete the process using the phone with the descpition previously posted???

i was worried about the carrier-baseband and all these stuff, i dont mind if i lose samsung pay (i dont use it)

in other words, even if im runing Android Oreo, can i follow this process?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] partcyborg:
Yes. Just follow the instructions exactly as written that exact order without skipping anything and you will come out the end with a s8+ running rooted nougat

Or is it possible to Odin to an older bootloader?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] TheMadScientist:
No you can't downgrade. And root for Oreo will not happen if it does it will be a exploit just like this root is now

is there a fix for the battery that cannot be charged complete?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] bradical711:
No. This has been answered many times already across multiple threads, this one included. The only fix that would happen would come along with a BL unlock... Which at this point.. is highly unlikely. There is still one person looking in to the issue (TheMadScientist) but I don't think he's made much progress aside from identifying what causes the block in the first place etc. (Correct me if I'm wrong TheMadScientist)

[MENTION=225651]op[/MENTION] Hey, I have been looking around at safetynet and how to bypass it so I can use snapchat. Is there a way for me to temporarily uninstall the systemless xposed that comes preinstalled in this root method? I have seen someone say to disable xposed and then full unroot in superSu, install snap & login, and finally reinstall superSu through safestrap. Would uninstalling xposed (if its possible) or doing what I just mention help me bypass safetynet? I cannot backup snapchat since I do not own a second mobile device and when I try to use adb to restore a backup I made before I rooted using the method you posted, it brings up the backup menu instead of the restore menu and I cannot get the restore to actually happen. I bought titaniumbackup pro to try and use the adb backup file but it would not allow me to open the file. Any advice will help, thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] partcyborg:
It won't matter, Xposed isn't causing safetynet to fail. The combo boot has dmv off which means device status is orange which means no safetynet. This can't be fixed with a locked bootloader

The only way I'm aware of is to do the trick where you login with stock then flash rooted firmware and get a full backup of the app data, so you can flash a rom and restore a copy already logged in. I have no idea if that still works or how it's done as I don't use Snapchat, or even this device anymore.

You are getting this error because you are on BL revision 5 and this ROM only supports BL's up to revision 3. And for reference you cannot downgrade BL's on samsung devices due to an e-fuse. However very recently there is a new method developed by jrkruse in which you can flash any Nougat, Oreo or Pie ROM using an EDL safestrap method jrkruse created but this is located in another dedicated thread by jrkruse himself. Just search "jrkruse v5 EDL method g955u" or something like that in the XDA search and the thread should pop up. If you can't find the thread I will link to you the thread myself but just let me know. After you use that method though, you can come back here and flash this ROM if you like using safestrap or any of the other available ROM's for the g955u. If you have any trouble with the EDL method reply over in that thread and I will do my best to help you over there.
