I have seen a few comments that doing a full unroot causes bootloops, have you tested this a few times with good success rate?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] pimpdaddy00:
Yes make sure you use system super su
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] KimJongIan:
As in SuperSU installed as a system app?

And then to unroot then re-root, what are the steps you would take. I don't like the sound of permanent in root and would like to not mess this up.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] pimpdaddy00:
Google super su system mode and download the zip, then go to super user app and do full unroot and reboot, also make sure you have Xposed disabled, after you reboot reinstall Snapchat. After that flash that zip in safestrap and reboot for me, this works every time

[MENTION=8360749]partcyborg[/MENTION] any update on v4 bootloader for s8+ G955u?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] partcyborg:
Id be shocked if it wasn't locked down just like the 950u v3 is
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] koobie777:
It's not. No spoofing here either. Jrkruse has had v4 bootloader for 955u for almost a couple weeks now. I just use partcyborg AP with it because it's debloated, deodexed, and has pretty good battery next to stock. I also highly recommend Xposed edge gestures, screen to body ratio is great. BTW v5 bl is out I think and that one might patch samfail.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] partcyborg:

[MENTION=8360749]partcyborg[/MENTION] please my super su app is not responding. When I open it it hangs and says super su not responding so therefore it's not granting root for apps that need it.

Thanks.

[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] agroff1993:
I'm not sure when it became a problem, but any time I restart my phone, it prompts me to fill out my Wi-Fi password again because it forgot it.

Ro.secure storage to 0 I think. But again there is a fix here some where
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] partcyborg:

Been using this ROM for couple weeks and I often had the greenish screen glitch where reboot would solve. I just read somewhere that it was because of AOD. Since I disable AOD no more screen glitch
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] TheMadScientist:
this is true its aod

the moment you turn your screen off and quickly turn it back on this happens not all the time you have to wait for aod to "come to full power"

Its a issue in AOD not this rom I posted a 100% stock rom no tweaks and it does it as well

Sprint V3 Bootloader No Service and/or Data Fix + OREO->NOUGAT Downgrade

I was on Oreo, which has bluetooth volume bug and others, and I wanted to downgrade as well as root again so I used this method successfully!!! Thank you greatly for your time and success on this.

This method works for the downgrade because the BL file is V3 but the AP is Nougat. I am on Sprint as well. If you do choose to do this, factory reset BEFORE you flash the BL, AP, and BL again. If not the data most likely will not work.

First flash I had no service which worked if I switched off mobile data and back on but briefly. I tried all csc editing methods and for me none worked. The second flash I got closer but still had zero data. After a few minutes following initial setup the phone worked for calls but not in the beginning.

Lastly, I did full factory reset FIRST before BL,AP,BL flash of this rom and everything was great. Also it seems that auto updates if left on in Google play affect the SU even though the app is not updated. If you find that a black screen greets you upon opening SU just dl the Pro version and it will fix.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] tjustice86:
Yes, worked like a charm. Now to try to work through the BT fix.

EDIT: I applied the BT and WIFI fix and both are working flawlessly for me. Thanks for all the work everyone has put into this, especially [MENTION=8360749]partcyborg[/MENTION]

All prepared to do this, but I have 2 concerns. I have not read all 193 pages of the forum.

What does recovery look like? Is it a full featured custom recovery like TWRP?

My computer has 6 USB ports, all 3.0. One is connected to a 7 port hub, not 3.0. Will that work?

Thanks for your help.

You flash back to stock and update through the update center like usual. SD S8's don't have room on Oreo at this point

---------- Post added at 03:09 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:06 PM ----------

PCR (Partcyborgrom) doesn't have a TWRP recovery as it doesn't use the safestrap recovery so it uses the stock Samsung recovery which isn't really useful unless you want to wipe the cache. As long as the USB hub has usb 2.0 ports you should be fine, I would check the user manual or the manufacturers website if you're not sure if it has v2.0 ports. It likely won't have v2.0 ports because a majority of devices at this point have v3.0 or v3.1 ports
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] allive2kill115:

After talking with some one else they said it would work i just rooted it and everything where smooth no problems so to answer my question yes u can root in oreo thanks for the rom tho op
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] TheMadScientist:
There is no root for Oreo. Only nougat. You downgraded to nougat.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] ScottishHammer:
If I'm on BL4 is there no way to downgrade right now?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] tennessee_titan:
I am now at page 173 of my attempt to read this entire thread before attempting root. A confusion/discomfort still exists. In step 6 of the OP instructions ( and also in ishhatesfatchix posts on rooting oreo) the reference of the file to be downloaded is different from the original downloaded part 2 nomenclature. Are there only two files to download, or 3? If 2, please make the nomenclature consistent with step 4. If 3, where is the third file?

Aside; still haven't come to the resolution of the Bluetooth issue in my reading.

UPDATE: Finally finished reading.. Looks like there are only 2 files, but nomenclature confusion in the OP still exists. Still not sure about Bluetooth, except is no longer listed a an issue. I think I will redownload, as the OP is not dated, and I am not sure I have ""today's"

Just so I am clear, I am currently on an Oreo bootloader V5 stock rom. Using the posted V5 bootloader (BL) on page 193 AND the AP file on page 1, it will work to gain root? Thanks guys.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] Slim2none4u:
There is no root for Oreo.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] TheMadScientist:
You are on a revision 5 bootloader yes. But it is a 7.0based bootloader. It is the same bootloader used in the fa70 combination files. Which is nougat. It is nougat with a updated revision so samsung can preform tests and junk. Which is also why we are in this boat. As there is no permissive kernel Oreo combo or never will be.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] TheMadScientist:
No.

Sorry for the confusion on my part. I don't necessarily want to root 8.0, just wondering if it is possible to downgrade from 8.0 with BL4.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] TheMadScientist:
you can flash the combo kernel which is 7.0 but then you need a stock system img. but in the end you still will only be able to charge to 80%

on bootloader 4 the combination file kernel is only nougat kernel

So yes technically you can downgrade but wont be worth it

You will have to start over and do the whole thing again. You can try dirty flashing if you want but it will make things randomly buggy so if you decide to and things change stop working youre on your own to fix them

[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] Raz12:
Okay so i don't want to ask alot of questions but at the same time i do.. I just don't want to make everyone mad. So i'm going to make this in one post and short...

I'm on Oreo, My understanding that if i go past v4 then there would be no way back to get to v3 or v2 and so on. You Koobie are saying that Jkruse has v5 ? your talking about this ? https://docs.google.com/uc?export=do...zHPlmZcV4h96CT V5 bootloader . With that being said, Do i need to go back to nougat before i even do any of these steps ? OR do i take that v5 and use Partycyborg AP and go along with the rest of the steps?

I feel as i'm going to have to rollback to something which i'm fine with, Just want to make sure i am doing it the right way with odin. Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] koobie777:
You're not necessarily doing a roll back you're just changing the system and bl. The bl is a combo bl from my understanding and allows the use of a nougat system with that specific bl. It's still v5 bl. You can follow the same steps just use jrkruse v5 bl with partcyborg AP. That's it, you don't have to go back to nougat, besides it's impossible to go back to nougat without that combo bl. You can go do these steps with Oreo it doesn't matter just make sure you're using v5 bl

https://xdaforums.com/verizon-galaxy-s8+/development/root-using-odin-modified-firmware-t3693790

I've mentioned before that I use jrkruse bl with partcyborg AP because that system is deodexed and debloated

And no you won't be able to downgrade the bl to v4,v3 etc

So far the s8+/955u is the only device where the samfail method has not been patched up to v5 bl.

Hopefully I could help :p

[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] tennessee_titan:
Bluetooth appears to be working. However, I can't use Titanium Backup (it just sits on "searching SU and Busybox".) Also, System App remover does not delete anything. I want to get rid of a few apps I don't use. I don't need 2 dialers....
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] bradical711:
Bluetooth works fine on this ROM except that it's Xposed fault that Bluetooth pairings get lost on reboot. That's the issue with Bluetooth. Anyways all you need is a reboot to get Titanium to ask for root. It's because SuperSU 2.82 SR5 tends to hang a lot and for that very reason I flashed SuperSU 2.79 SR3 since for me it works more consistently when apps ask for root. For deleting apps however, I reccomend using titanium backup or an app called "App Inspector" + a file manager of your choice to look up and delete apps as well as their directories if Titanium Backup can't delete an app. Also, if you delete the main dialer or the contacts app btw, you won't be able to make calls. Same with the messaging app as well. Just hide them all with TouchWiz if you use alternatives.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] partcyborg:
If you do the reinstall from play store procedure SuperSU acts a lot better too. I have a feeling the new owners pushed a new version to play store but didn't realize they have to update the as as well
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] tennessee_titan:
Xposed is one of the things I would like to delete. There are 2 dialers; do I need both?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] bradical711:
If you want to get completely rid of Xposed you can't just uninstall the app, you have to flash the uninstaller which can be done two ways. First is going into Xposed app and on the main page you need to find the uninstaller for your version which is the more straightfoward method because it's simply in the app and is one click. The other method you have to go into the Xposed thread and manually download the uninstaller for our version and simply flash it with SS or FF. And technically no, you don't need both dialers but one is Samsung's (which you can't delete or you'll lose the ability to make calls) or the Google one which you can delete. Basically if you prefer stock AOSP vanilla Android, you can use Google's dialer and contact apps, if your prefer Samsung's TouchWiz you can keep using their dialer and contacts. Both aren't really necessary unless you plan on using Google's stuff, in which case you would need to keep Samsung's default stuff because without them, you won't be able to make or receive calls. Hope this explanation helps!

[/COLOR]First of all I just want to say that the developers of this rom are my heroes! I didn't have my s8+ for 24 hours before I completely bricked it somehow attempting to use the sampwnd root method. No fault of theres I believe I just managed to tick the repartition option and when the flash failed right off the bat I was left with a phone that would only boot into download mode. No recovery no nothing. I attempted to flash the stock firmware back to it and still fail. I tried flashing combitination files which got further than anythiing else but still failed and then finally I downloaded your files and followed your directions and finally my phone actually boots again and is up and running so thank you guys from the bottom of my heart for your amazing work!!! :good::good::good::good::good::highfive::highfive::highfive::highfive::victory::victory::victory::victory::victory:
