I get this error Everytime I open Xposed after I flashed this rom. I don't know what exactly it means but what I know is it's preventing my Xposed download list from refreshing and updating from the Xposed database. I tried re-flashing the framework but it didn't help. What is the problem exactly?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] PlumptDickins:
Yes flash fire also won't work 4 me. I'm gonna try this out the u

I answered this literally 2 posts up. C'mon!
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] drickles:
Fixed it by uninstalling the Xposed installer that came with the rom which was 3.1.4 (it's a system file so get a root uninstaller app to uninstall it) and installing the latest 3.1.5. know that updating the installer to 3.1.5 still won't work and the error will remain. Only got it to work after I uninstalled the previous installer and installed the new one.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] Pariah24:
I didn't have to reinstall the framework but I did have to update the installer the 3.1.4 version can't find the repo anymore for whatever reason
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] drickles:
Well just updating it didn't work for me tho. Had to completely remove the 3.1.4 installer and install the 3.1.5 before it came. Either ways good luck
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] Pariah24:
That's what I'm saying. it's the installer that is the issue not the actual framework

Hi.

How can comeback to stock firmware?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] bradical711:
Download your stock firmware from updato.com, sammobile.com or just search XDA for your device model and carrier to download and return to stock. Make sure the firmware you download corresponds to your BL number before downloading it so the firmware will be compatible with your device.

Hi will advanced LTE or LTE-A work on this ROM please
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] bradical711:
You shouldn't be having an update popup at all. There's a zip you can download from the OP that will fix that notification from happening. Anyways yes, you should avoid the update. Not that it will work anyway if you tried.

Yes both will work just fine.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] jcarter3729:
Ok cool thanks, also my Wi-Fi won't stay on any fix for that as well?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] sam00561:
Hi are you certain Lte-A will work do you have it working on your phone my LTE speeds are quite crap I only want to change ROM iff for certain Advanced LTE and WiFi calling works.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] bradical711:
I've never had an issue once with WiFi connections on my end with this ROM since it's inception on any version I've been using so maybe you just had a bad flash potentially rendering your WiFi as spotty. Or maybe it's your WiFi in general being spotty but I'm not to sure. Still though, for the other issue, just flash the zip.

Your LTE speeds depend on location more than they do a ROM... Changing ROM's will not make your LTE speeds faster by any means since it more depends on the towers near your location. Anyways "Advanced LTE" or whatever you want to call it, works just fine as it should on any ROM really, but I'm on ATT so results could vary depending on carrier.... and my wifi calling works fine but I never use it. Not even a little bit, it's overrated in my honest opinion lol.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] sam00561:
I think your calling wifi calling overrated because you may not have a need for it unlike myself whos indoor signal is 1 signal bar and used disconnect often so wifi calling for me is an absoloute godsend. Regarding Advanced Lte which is a new technology which utilises i believe 2 signal bands at the same time to give very high LTE speeds and my provider now supports this and so does the phone but on my current rom Ambassadi this does not seem to be working so thats why i was asking iff it would work on this one.Also It is possible that this functionality is rom restricted because other people with the s8plus on my network are getting LTE+ and speeds up to 250mb download.

[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] UnboundGodz:
Revision 5?

Idk if this is accurate or not, but I believe my device could be revision 5. "G955USQU5CRG3", would that be accurate? And if so, thoughts on future root possibility?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] bradical711:
By searching for "samfail" on XDA... Or even Google really, which will just lead you back to here.

Anyways you would be correct on your BL number but also in terms of "root" via this ROM specifically, I don't think so.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] sam00561:

It seems like so many apps and theme engines such as substratum are putting more emphasis on Oreo and Pie yet us here are limited to nougat to stay rooted. Any developments for devices of our model in the making?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] partcyborg:
Nope, root is not possible on anything other than 7.0
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] LordAbolition:
Will there ever be a new update for this?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] bradical711:
Probably not. It's highly unlikely, reason being is because we are on the second to last update of nougat (BQL1) the only thing the dev could do was update us to (BRB1) and a new BL but that's it and wouldn't offer much change. I think that is why there is no update, there isn't much a reason other than a new firmware which honestly is just extra work for the dev. Especially since he would have to do it for the S8, S8+, and S8 active. The only thing he could potentially add, was another sound mod which he has talked about, removing Dolby, and adding safestrap and maybe other minor optimizations and fixes but that would be it. Max.. There's really nothing more to add or take away. Also, another reason for the unlikely hood of an update is because of support for the ROM. But I'm not the dev, these are just strong assumptions based on what I've seen on the threads. Also, even if he was planning an update etc it's rude to ask for an update so....
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] LordAbolition:
Thank you for the information. I wasn't asking him to update, I was asking if there will ever be an update.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] flipper2006:
I wish there was a way to use viper or something else with hq audio on the stock rom's. That is only reason i keep using this, there are bunch of neat features with 8 and soon 9 that we cant do because we are using this. Anyone know if they are going to add (or if they added) dolby to any of the stock releases lately? I love the crisp audio with BT in my car that i lose without Viper.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] partcyborg:
I'm confused, this is a stock rom (modified) and it has viper just fine. Are you thinking of the non root Oreo releases?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] S74Y3R1:

i need help it doesnt seem to be working its been awhile since i rooted my device im abit rusty

:crying:
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] flipper2006:
yes, sorry - didn't say that :) Wanting a way to use viper or something like... When i brought my car to dealership, they thought i had upgraded sound system because i was getting crisp highs with viper. But with android P coming, we will be 2 releases behind so i was just wondering if there was any way to use something like Viper with Oreo, but i dont think it's possible.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] koobie777:
Yeah sadly not possible. I actually just switched back to nougat for root so I can use sixaxis. But there is a Dolby mod for the oreo build but it's still not as good as viper.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] flipper2006:
Can you point me to that mod so i can see it and give it a try. The clarity is my fave feature of viper.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] partcyborg:
Viper works on Oreo just fine that isn't the issue, it's that the audio mods require root access to run and that isn't an option for these devices, do you can't install the audio flinger driver. Dolby will have the exact same issue
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] flipper2006:
Thanks for the clarification, that is what i thought, but when he said there was a mod, that's why i wanted to see what it was because without root you can't install that stuff and certainly with a locked BL we can't run any zip's. I will stick with this for the forthcoming future i guess.. lol.

All the info you need is here

https://xdaforums.com/verizon-galaxy-s8+/development/rom-t3771206

The mod definitely works but it doesn't sound as crisp as viper clarity
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] partcyborg:
This just has the stock Dolby that comes with Samsung Oreo. It's not one of the mods you can find on this site
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] flipper2006:
Oh well, i will definitely stick with this for now. I wanted to run "good lock 2018" which is in the Galaxy App Store, but i think that requires Oreo because when i try to run anything i get parsing errors.. You can take a look at this video from YT. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5sjShO6e8GU&t=215s
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] koobie777:

He's on Oreo though, not Nougat.

---------- Post added at 11:23 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:19 PM ----------

Follow this thread for future updates, as of now the exploit only supports up to BL v1-v3, not v4 or v5. It would be wise to disable auto updates from here on so it doesnt push you further away from the possibility of your BL being unlocked. Unless your Galaxy s8 is a Exynos model, then that should be unlocked by default from what I read. Hopefully we will see updates on the workaround they had hopes in and possibly see v4 and v5 get unlocked!

Is this the end, or just no one is having problems or questions?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] bradical711:
Maybe a little of both. The developers for the s8 have done a lot with this device as well as having tested everything there is to test with these devices. Every question you could possibly think about relating to this device, process, etc has all been answered across all of the forms/threads for the s8 and you really couldn't come up with a new question that hasn't already been answered.. as for development, there is one last glimmer of hope and that is the safestrap recovery which is still being worked on as far as we know, which if that happens and is successful, development might start to once again flourish from our main devs (assuming they still have the device and still care to do the development needed). Whatever ends up happening though, I'm just glad we got the development we did while it was popular. I appreciate all the countless hours and work that was put in because what we got out of it was a nice quality of life to have.

Still showing the same BL version in about phone. :victory:

Update: Iris/face recognition not working. Neither is wifi remembering paswwords. I factory resetted while flashing and ro.securestorage_support is set to true (setting to false gives same results) so might be a BL mismatch thing.

I hit 100 once. Normally 81 to 87. Several 90s. In general all over the place and I think I know why.

I'm starting to think my randomness charging is heat and cold related. When I charge at night my room temp is in the 50s then normally straight away in my warm pocket and I think it's like thermal expansion. Just electricity.

There is no root for Oreo.

[MENTION=5052218]Goddly[/MENTION], [MENTION=8360749]partcyborg[/MENTION], I have gone through and followed the instructions from scratch. Verizon variant, using Odin for both flashes:

1) Flash AP file, Odin fails as expected

2) Phone forced into Upload Mode, using button combination force back into Download Mode

3) Once in Download Mode, Flash BL file (made sure auto-reboot was checked so it would go directly into Recovery upon completion)

4) Pressed Wipe/Factory Reset

5) Confirmed Factory Reset

6) Phone rebooted, completely reset. Configured typical settings and booted up.

Unfortunately... I immediately received a notification saying I was on Sprints network. None of my messages will send. When going to PreConfig via Secret Codes in Phone Info and Shortcut Editor, the options are all blank and it does not allow me to check one.

What's strange to me is, the CSC Version and all CSC information is completely gone. Phone info states it's all blank, as if there's nothing on my phone itself. I thought the factory reset would fix this?
