Sorry about your USB port. From what I have read on this forum, you can buy a USB hub that only supports 2.0. I don't know. My computer is old and can't count past 2. I see on the Verizon thread that you decided to flash Oreo. You can hang with that until you get a 2.0 hub or just stick with it. I like to be rooted and this ROM has worked really well for me, but rooting isn't as necessary as it was in the past (my opinion and I am not trying to start any debate on this). But, I feel like its my phone and I want to be able to root if I want to. I still find advantages to being rooted over stock. And I just like messing with my phone. Unlocked bootloader would be the bomb, but no such luck on our phones. So, if you get a 2.0 hub, the PCB ROM is the way to go. Good Luck.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] Super_SU01:
YES!

So in order to root I gotta flash the bootloop edition.... Is there a better way than having to use Odin again
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] sindujan:
So I rooted thinking i could use magisk to just hide the root from apps like snapchat. but when i install magisk i get a security error where it wont boot anymore, unauthorized software was flashed.

I was hoping someone could provide a stock firmware for rogers s8+.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] Super_SU01:
Anyways in order to root I need to flash the bootloop edition zip???
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] Slim2none4u:
Go to updato.com and search for your specific model number would be my guess. Although I believe you can flash any sm-g955u firmware and the csc is installed upon boot from the sim card that's in the phone.

In order to root, yes, follow the OP according to your boatloader version.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] Super_SU01:
I flashed the G955USQU1AQK1 I downloaded and flashed part 1 and part 2. Now correct me if I'm wrong but in order to get root I now have to flash the bootloop edition using Odin? Do I use Odin to flash both bootloop edition Part 1 and part 2 files? I read the flashfire instructions but just a little confused because I can't use flashfire without being rooted first. When I open the app it asks for root permissions.

Edit, waiting......

Is the USQU1AQK1 not pre rooted? The flashfire thing has me confused... Is using flashfire just an option and I can use Odin instead. I just need a little help here and I'll disappear for awhile.

---------- Post added at 09:45 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:01 PM ----------

Why does BL bootloop edition fail in Odin?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] partcyborg:
The easiest solution if you want to get closer to a guarantee (there are no guarantees in this, but i havent had anyone capable of following directions fail with this option yet) is to get a usb 2.0 hub and plug it into whatever port you want. As long as the phone itself doesn't have to speak usb3.0, it seems to all work fine.

That's the closest to a sure thing you will get

Complain at samsung or possibly qualcomm. Not sure whose responsible bootloader support in xbl.

But definitely also blame samsung, because if these damned phones were unlockable this wouldn't be an issue.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] Super_SU01:
If anyone wants to answer a few very simple questions please PM me, because I need just a few questions answered to clear up my confusion. I'm not a master flasher I know a little but I am still a noobish. So if I could have 5 mins of someone's time....

---------- Post added at 09:51 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:50 PM ----------

Yeah I understand. I'm way past the USB port problem now, but thanks for answering that question for me.

We're is xposed on version -G955USQU2BQK5?

I was on version 1 but was not rooted but I had xposed, now I'm rooted on version 2 but without xposed. How can I get xposed anybody...
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] Slim2none4u:
If you want xposed, just download the official xposed app and install it.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] Super_SU01:
I done that but it's not working. I have v89 sdk24 arm64 installed. It says framework is active but when I try to use flatstyle bar indicators it doesn't work and when I scroll over to official under compatibility shows a red thumbs down for Samsung roms. Do I have the wrong version installed, the app won't let me update it says problem parsing the package or something..
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] Super_SU01:
Got everything working except for data. Can't make or receive calls or texts.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] Slim2none4u:
I'm guessing you missed the step to factory reset when it goes to recovery after flashing the BL file.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] this_one_android:
[MENTION=7885297]partyc[/MENTION]yborg can you add Rom control like what sampwnd did so I can enable Wi-Fi calling? For some reason Wi-Fi calling isn't working if I enable it through my phone (Verizon)...but with the Rom control that sampwnd has in its rooted stock rom I am enable to activate Wi-Fi calling.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] Smithfolk4:
Agreed. I used JRKruse (I think its his) ROM Control App to get the Wifi Calling working.

---------- Post added at 07:33 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:15 AM ----------

So, last night, after weeks of running PCB ROM with no issues, I had multiple Modem Crashes. They got more frequent.

(Something probably related is that I was getting MMS timeout messages in Textra.) I have no idea what caused the crashes. I tried to reflash via flashfire without a wipe and must have made a mistake because I was stuck in a bootloop. So I reflashed via ODIN and restored a flashfire backup and got everything back working. I had one MMS timeout message that worried me after the restore, but switched back and forth between CMDA and global for wireless network a couple times and everything has been fine since. (Not sure if this is a fix or not, but I have done it in the past with success.)

I also had a lot of trouble with flashfire gaining root access. Just had to keep trying and finally got it each time. This was a pain in the butt though. Wasted a lot of time. I did use the airplane mode trick without a lot of luck.

I also read that [MENTION=5052218]Goddly[/MENTION] had modem crash issues and solved it by flashing the BQK5 modem. If it happens again, I will probably try that. I did try to flash the BQL1 modem before anything else and that didn't work due to modem dismatch. Would you use COMSY or regular ODIN for this?

Just info for you [MENTION=8360749]partcyborg[/MENTION]. Maybe it will help with future development. Thanks for all you do.

Flashfire is having trouble gaining root access. I'm only flashing 2 files the AP and BL files, is that all I need to flash? I just wanna make sure that I'm not missing anything. I do not have mobile data and can't text or call, I did wipe factory reset just like OP said to do after I flashed the BL. Any help here would be appreciated!

---------- Post added at 12:30 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:29 PM ----------

Nope I done that..
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] Goddly:
A. Just so you know , flashing the BL via flashfire is not recommended.

B. I've uninstalled then reinstalled from the play store before. (Flashfire) also some times it takes a little time for the prompts. So I go to SU app. Then auto Grant access. This works too.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] Slim2none4u:
You fix flashfire, put your phone in airplane mode and restart your phone.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] Super_SU01:
Yeah, I was reading about how some people was having to toggle airplane mode not long after I posted my issue. Thanks for the help. Flashfire is working good now. I'm trying to get used to the 80% battery thing.

Anybody know anything about fixing the weird font issue with 1s in certain places? I've replaced a bunch of the system fonts to no avail.

Hi there!, please help me...

How i can get a stock room, and get agail 100% battery level again, i need some help or i kill my phone, i need step by step the way to do that!!!
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] Engr610:
You need step-by-step instructions on how to return to stock? There are nearly endless posts for returning to stock. Please use the search option in XDA or google.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] Slim2none4u:
Download your official firmware and flash it in odin.

If you need step by step. Google is your friend. They are out there.

Super excited to try my first new ROM on my S8+! Keep fighting the good fight..
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] NateDero:
I've been running this rom without a hitch for about a month now and couldn't be happier with it! Thank you so much to partcyborg!! I'm wondering if there are any plans or methods to get newer security patches while maintaining root? My youtube app updated too, is there any way to install the good one and disable it's auto update? Also are there any rooted Oreo builds in the works? ?

Take care, thanks for the awesome rom!
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] Slim2none4u:
After freezing or uninstalling apps, you should restart your phone to make the changes take effect.

If you continue having issues, I would start with a fresh install and remember to wipe in odin.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] Super_SU01:
Would it be a good or bad idea to uninstall those system updates in TI, or is frozen hood enough..

---------- Post added at 01:07 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:04 PM ----------

I uninstall the original YouTube. I use MicroG and OGYouTube.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] DR4LUC0N:
So, I used to be on AQK3 and the boot screen was this cool web looking thing, now I upgraded and it's a Sprint screen, is this normal? Also having trouble changing system font using iFont and after reboot Spotify won't connect(I can still play from my playlists but can't use search function or radio function)? Is there extra steps I need to take? I also get Subsystem Crash Modem sometimes, I had no problem upgrading the first time, what gives?

Is there a firmware I should have flashed prior to this?

Edit:Fixed Spotify, AdblockerReborn was blocking it, but still having the other issues.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] Smithfolk4:
Frozen is good enough. You don't need to uninstall.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] kleen3r:
You need to Odin the CP and CSC of your stock firmware. They contain the modem files that will stop your crashes.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] Super_SU01:
Would there be anyway you could message me those files because I'm not sure which ones I need.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] sabresfan:
Which carrier do you use? Check updato for the correct one. While I just moved on from this phone I ran this rom for months with my carriers csc and modem and never had a modem crash. You can delete the carrier boot animation to get the cyborg boot animation back.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] Super_SU01:
Verizon is my carrier, I'll have to find someone to help me out with finding the right files I need. Thanks for your advice!
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] sabresfan:
https://updato.com/firmware-archive-select-model

Put your model in and look for the latest version.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] partcyborg:
You will get less battery time out of stock, but if seeing that number go all the way to 100 is worth losing everything else, by all means. Just flash any complete entire rom you download from fw.updato.com. If you could successfully flash pcr you can definitely flash stock its easier.

While im on the subject, here is a little present for you all it wasn't done by me but a good friend, so we have a new record in screen on time and overall uptime.

[MENTION=8959772]Pp_TaUrO[/MENTION] you will have to come post screenshots of your battery performance on stock! I mean if you're flashing back for battery it has to be better than this right? I mean, the number goes all the way to 100! That's like over 20% more!

This should be no sweat then, right?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] partcyborg:
Its the custom lock screen clock font, apparently is weird in some aod settings

I'll post a stock zip soon dir those that donr want it or ill find one that isbt messed up.

[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] partcyborg:
Maybe try gravitybox?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] sallambander:
That works to change the shortcut. What I'm having difficulty with is getting around the lockscreen.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] Pariah24:
Thanks, it's a weird bug, it only happens when the 1 is in certain places. Also I find it weird how the default system font is missing some Unicode characters (considering how new the phone is). It's not a big deal though; I replaced Roboto-Regular.ttf with a newer one from the Google Fonts site and now all the pronunciation characters and whatnot display correctly.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] partcyborg:
If you read the op, you will see that the default system font has been replaced ?️
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] Super_SU01:
I flashed this rom in the OP

G955U_BQL1. I download that same build on the Updato site, the firmware date of that package was either December or January, I'm at work, when I get home I will confirm the month if anyone needs me to.

The firmwares CSC in the zip on Updato is G955UOYN2BQL1 and the firmware download is G955USQS2BQL1 which is my build #.

I'm just gonna flash it and see what happens I'll figure it out myself, I guess I won't know if I don't try right...
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] partcyborg:
No offense, but how do you know its the solution if you havent flashed any of it yet?

Please post this csc that supposedly fixes things. I want to see what is different.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] Super_SU01:
I did already it's a few posts back. I was told by a forum user that I could go to the Updato site and download the most recent firmware then when it's done downloading I could unzip it and then flash the CSC and CP files and it would fix my modem crashes. I also googled it and I confirmed that by flashing the CSC and CP files r hat it would fix the subsystem modem crashes, now just because it's on Google doesn't mean it's true. The firmware I downloaded matched my build number but the CSC file had a different number which I have already posted back a few pages. I'm not trying to be rude or anything, I was not gonna flash untill I was sure it's gonna work and it took about 4hrs believe it or not to download that file and by the time it got done I was in bed. All I need to know is if by flashing those 2 things if it will fix my problem that's it. I appreciate your reply.

Edit, As soon as I get home I am gonna flash the CSC and CP files if it works good if not then I'll figure something out. I'll stop posting my issues here, because I'm wasting everyone's time including mine.

I just tried this....

Followed steps in OP,

after flashing part 2 it booted to recovery automagically

did factory reset and wiped cache

powered down phone

manually booted to recovery and factory reset/wiped cache again,

rebooted

setup phone

Still have no outgoing service on VZW with an empty preconfig app

Tried a wipe command with FF with default wipe settings

setup phone

Still have no outgoing service on VZW with an empty preconfig app

Hope this helps.....

I messed around for awhile trying to get the Sprint Notification to go away along with the wonky doubles in System Settings. The thing that worked for me was I flashed the CSC file for Verizon (I'm on Verizon). Obviously it changed the intended splash screens for startup but I'm EXTREMELY happy with the ROM. Good stuff.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] TheBigEasy88:
[MENTION=8360749]partcyborg[/MENTION] - GREAT job my friend and thank you for your efforts! First attempt with absolutely no issues. Up and running again in under 15 minutes. You're the man.

Question, I read your post, where you mentioned flashing a Flashfire backup of your apps/apps data, and am curious as to how you did it. Before wiping and starting over, I backed up everything via Flashfire and did the same via Titanium. Obviously, I'd prefer to flash everything back due to the time required to run Titanium. Just curious. Thanks!

Will this effect/trigger knox?

If I want to go back to stock(no root), is that possible? Is it easy to do? How do i get back to stock and remove root?

[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] jhofseth:
PCB ROM won't trigger so-called 'bootloader' Knox. To go back to stock ROM at any time, all you have to do is flash latest normal carrier stock ROM in latest normal Odin. :)
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] partcyborg:
Everyone who has flashed it. The bug preventing the CSC from being installed is fixed, and if you happen to discover a new one there are numerous workarounds, and you can always decide to take your toys and go home & flash stock again.

I apologize if this was already answered within this thread but I have read copious pages and posts and have not came across anyone with the same setting. I have recently updated (3/19 update) to the official Oreo OS

Do i need to do anything different with installing this (as in downgrade to a previous OEM version before flashing this)? I ask because i get the impression most users are either on a prior version of your rom or coming from an older OEM version (pre Oreo). I have a good chunk of experience with rooting, etc etc etc but on other phone brand names (Razr, LG, Nexus) but zero experience on Samsung devices which from what I gather so far is a little more involved (putting it lightly!) to gain root access and what not. Thank you for any help given and appreciate all the man hours all you developers MUST put into this in order to allow "normal" android users (like myself) the privilege of maximizing our devices' potential.

Again thank you!
