You're not using the right Odin.

My mistake...

Naming the PrinceComseyOdin folder I created just Odin and not PrinceOdin after unziping and screwing up which Odin I was using.

Swear I used the other version before without issue on version 1 and 2

Just DL the PrinceComsey Odin again to be safe. and try again. At least that's what I did.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] HACK3DANDR0ID:
Yea, the Note8 had a similar ROOT Method by SAMFail as well. Honestly, i did it just to ROOT it and then i went back to Oreo. I cant stand the 80% battery bug...

*edit*

This is only temporary anyway, until my S9+ comes in :)

I've tried this repeatedly and am still failing. I'm running s8+ from tmobile build G955USQS2BQL1 baseband G955USQU2BQK5. I don't think it works for this version, but I hope I'm wrong. Help?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] Lurkingzombie:
I have a s8+ from sprint. I've used princecomsey one as well, it fails every single time. Where can I find exact detailed tutorial, it feels like im missing a lot of steps here. Do i need to do anything before on the phone such as install anything? or is it simply putting the phone in debug, turning off verify apps option?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] Pariah24:
Dang, now all my Amazon apps are crashing even after I've reflashed the ROM multiple times.

[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] Goddly:
First, please don't copy the op. What model S8+ are you running? Ok I see Sprint S8+...

Second. Which version of Odin are you using?

Ok. I see prince, correct.

Third, are you using a different port? Most newer laptops strictly use 3.0s. try a PC. When you plug the phone in while in download mode, does the blue box appear as it should? Should say com 10 or 8, does it?

Fourth, you should be admin in Odin. Are you using it as ADMINISTRATOR ? (Right click and "run as administrator"

Fifth.. it's going to fail after part 1 flash. At the end. Then it should boot into upload mode.

Sixth, reboot into download mode (with different look, but it's still download mode, so don't worry)

Then flash part 2. It will reboot into recovery (hopefully) then you have to factory reset. (Down and up with the volume keys, enter with the power button)

Try this, and let me know. I'll work with you.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] pr1m317:
Aside from the flamming you've received which I do not think helps anyone, some people just need to be themselves more than helpful, After it fails and you put phone back into DL mode, DO NOT forget to RESET Odin, Looks like you may have missed that, I could be wrong.

Other than Debug mode, which I'm not even sure needs to be applied due to the method, I haven't had to do anything special before flashing. Once up I also haven't had any of the other issues listed, Amazon is fine, Snapchat, bixby button remap, Xposed, and SU all work and survive a reboot. Runs great, fast, and smooth.

Thanks again Partcyborg!

so. ive tried giving this a go and odin just isn't even rebooting my phone after the very first AP step. stays in downloading... do not turn off target screen.

this is what happens in comsey odin(running as admin on win 10 usb2 port.

[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] TheMadScientist:
that is normal the ap will always fail follow up with a reboot to modded dl mode which should say unauth software blah blah Now flash the bl and factory reset
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] striker661:
I'm 100% sure that nothing is happening. It gives me that error five seconds after pressing start and here I am still able to reboot the phone and use it as if nothing has happened. I don't believe anything was changed or pushed to the phone due to how fast it says failed after starting. I also don't get a chain of other info in the log that other people are getting. Odin recognizes my phone but it seems like it's on com3 and 5 on my 2 only usb2.0 ports and notice everyone gets 8 and 10? Is that normal?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] TheMadScientist:

[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] Goddly:
What does the red box say when it fails? Auth?

Have you tried right clicking and running Odin as administrator?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] striker661:
Yes sir. Stated I'm running as admin. Nothing happens in the com box like normal. It doesn't change to fail or anything. I'm going to try and reload the Samsung USB drivers and give it another whirl.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] Goddly:
It doesn't show a com number, then it's the cable or the Sammy drivers
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] theverybestneo:
I'm now having the same issue. Only mine failed to go into the modified download mode after flashing the AP, but it did when I manually rebooted into download mode to try again. Since it went were it was supposed to go in the first place, I went ahead and flashed the BL, part two. It rebooted directly into factory mode (for the first time) and I thought I was golden. Did my factory reset, rebooted the device and what do i get? UPLOAD mode. Reset again, it goes to modified download. Tried to just start over and flash the AP, and I get the aforementioned error, not 5 seconds from my pressing start, it fails and exits. was running it as an administrator, I disabled my computers USB 3.0 capabilities.. I am at the end of my rope with this. This is my first time trying to root something so i figured I should start in the deep end.. I have no idea what I am doing wrong and would love a little assistance. Luckily, i found a stock ROM (although its for sprint and i have T-mobile) so hopefully the device is at least functional tomorrow.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] partcyborg:
What specifically does it say when it goes to upload mode? Does it say "Unknow Error"? "Modem Crash"? "User pressed power key for 7 seconds?" Look at the small text (if there is any), does it say something about "ext4"?

Upload mode is just the default state a phone running the factory firmware goes to when it cant continue running, where if you were running stock it would just hard reset. There are tons of different reasons for why this could happen: Linux kernel panic, Modem crashed, Cant mount root filesystem, cant find init, something very low level in the device crashed, etc etc etc. In most cases, it will tell you somewhere on the upload mode screen at least what general thing caused the crash, and maybe more specifics if its one of a slightly less number of possible causes.

And since you are new, welcome to the world of Locked bootloaders and root! It is tricky because we are doing things that Samsung spent a lot of time, money and engineering effort specifically to stop us from doing. In all honesty next device around if you want something that is much easier and more "turnkey" than this, the only option for Samsung is to pick up one of the exynos devices from europe. They don't support CDMA carriers (there arent any in Europe), but they have bootloaders that you can unlock and then its open season, you can flash whatevever you want without Auth errors and Invalid Arguments and all the stuff we deal with here.

Just came here to say this worked flawlessly for me. Rom seems buttery smooth, looking forward to seeing how the battery works.

Also wanted to mention I have all USB3 ports on my laptop and I used a USB2 hub without a single issue. Done in maybe 15 minutes tops.

Thanks a million for this effort to make Samsung's locked down not quite so miserable ??

[MENTION=8360749]partcyborg[/MENTION] .... Ive been a huge fan of you and your work, so the bluetooth isnt something you want to know about? I never dirty flash btw. I followed YOUR directions to the T. I know your doing alot of work and damnit its great work. Ok ill re read the OP for the 20th time and see where it mentions the bluetooth issue i was having.

Yep read it again and nowhere does it say your bluetooth might drol or not work. I even flashed the files you made available, much appreciated. I will follow the OP one more time and see what happens. Again your work is amazing.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] Yliria:
This happens when I flash this ROM. When it fails the first AP flash, restart the phone into DL mode and go ahead and flash the BL. When it goes to recovery, do reset and clear cache. Then back into DL and start process over. This time when AP is flashed, it always crashes into the appropriate upload mode and the second BL flash finishes the process. No clue why I have to do it twice to make it work, but it does work.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] striker661:
Did you need to manually reboot the phone? Also, did you only get like 4 lines of log and the fail only 5 seconds after clicking start? It's hard to think the target file is a couple gigs large and ANYTHJNG happens only after 5 seconds. Really want a custom rooted rom. DON'T want a brick.

Hey guys quick question, if i root with this , can i update to oreo trough stock recovery? i don't care about loosing root, i just need to root so i can restore my apps with TB. My model is G955U on oreo beta.

It says Kernel Panic! Then proceeds with this:

APSS INFO

Thread : init:499

Additionally, Windows 10 has decided that my s8+ is an unregonizable device. Which may have just become the primary problem which solving will actually solve nothing. Sigh. Anyone?

Reinstalled Samsung USB drivers and phone is back on good terms with Windows 10. Still.. upload mode?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] partcyborg:
What happens in recovery before this happens. Are there any messages or errors or text that looks out of place?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] Yliria:
When the first AP failed and I got the secure fail or whatever it said, yes I had to manually reboot with the two volume buttons and the power button. As soon as it powered off, I pushed the combo for DL mode. I still got the weird screen that said software update had failed, but it was still DL mode.

As for the 4 lines of log, no. It ran the whole damn long flash process and then failed at the ass end right when you think it was going to work.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] Goddly:
It's supposed to do that.. then you disconnect from the pc. Restart Odin. Reconnect. Then flash part 2.

But . I have only had it reboot me to recovery twice.. most of the time It stays on the dL screen. So I reboot to recovery manually. I have to flash it a couple times to get it working like the op.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] Goddly:
The way we have to flash this, and every other flash using Odin seems hit or miss, it seems things can get a bit quarky...

Now... I flashed the Rom, via flashfire.

BECAUSE I was already on a version of this rom. I took a real stab in the dark here.

I Wiped, all, internal, system, caches etc.

Then I also flashed part 2 as well. At the same time. It lists a lot of things to check off. Then gives warnings about some areas being write protected. But, I flashed the modem, bootloader. As shown, I was unsure about checking them all, because of the "write protection" message spooked me. But.... I flashed it. This way.

My phone hasn't had a single issue since. It's running perfectly. Battery stats are the best I've had on this device.

I seriously recommend the OPs way to install. But if your having quirky issues. I won't suggest it.. But I, personally, reinstalled via flashfire. Now, I'm not responsible for your device. If something happens... But. it worked perfectly for me. I'm not the only one who has used it successfully either.... Others have flashed BL. And others flashed modems as well... All without bricking.. lol . So. Just an idea.

This thing with amplify and greenify I get less than 1% an hour drain. When I sleep forgot to plug it in. I'll lose 1% every 2 hours or so. She sleeps like A ROCK... I LOVE IT!

Partcyborg is a beast!

You can't downgrade to the first version bootloader, both if the phone came stock with v2, or after upgrading. it's in the beginning of the original mods thread I believe . The 2 in your build number indicates the v2 bl came stock

[QUOTE=partcyborg;75823

It doesnt happen in recovery, its a boot. It just displays the build info and Samsung 8+ in blue lettering. All the text but the last line is white, with the last is yellow. In the quick snippets I get to view it, nothing I've read seems like an error message or even wrong. Simply basic, although specific, info about the device. Then the screen goes black. For a LONG time. I doubt I've managed to wait it out yet, and eventually I'll push power and it buzzes slightly. Seconds later, upload mode. There is something at the end of that screen after the words Generating summary... and a list that looks like I should be able to use it like Recovery Mode, but I cant choose or move anything with either the screen of the buttons. Maybe that summary is obtainable? I feel like there has to be a way to interact with the phone on a deeper level at this point, maybe sideload another ROM. Even stock so I can start over. Last time I had it open I did turn on debugging mode and whatever else I thought might help me get back in if I got locked out..

Thanks for your help, btw. I've been looking into and subsequently trying this for weeks, and I'm amazed I did brick this piece immediately.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] striker661:
Yea there's def something wrong with my setup. Seems Odin can't really communicate with the phone. I'll double check the USB drivers again. Everyone has actual work being done after they start Odin but my Odin just starts and fails immediately without doing anything.

so it looks like i had a driver issue. i had to search for any samsung related drivers and remove them. re-installed the latest drivers and now the ap finally flashes. I get to the kernel panic screen of my phone and it says done at the bottom but how long is it supposed to sit there if at all?

EDIT. If you hang on the kernel panic screen after flashing the BL start over from step one and you'll be good.

EDIT AGAIN: Had to go back to stock considering there's no hope of me getting snapchat to work without inducing a headache. Guess I'm riding the stock pony for this device til we get real root.

Hey everyone, just thought I'd post this in case anyone else is having the same issue.

Coming back from Oreo Beta - Flashing AP always left me in download mode with "SECURITY CHECK FAIL: system". Tried this about four times without success.

If you're running into this issue, flash BL first, you should boot into recovery with a system mount error. Now reset ODIN and flash AP, this should properly bring you to the upload mode screen. Finally, flash BL one last time. This throws you into recovery, from where you will do a factory reset, followed by a reboot.

Phone's currently booting up now, cheers!
