[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] partcyborg:
There is only one major cause of headache: trying to samfail flash with a usb3.0 port. Everyone I've interacted with who has had issues is has been able to fix them by flashing with a usb2 port (and working cable), or has just flashed the system part from flashfire, rooting with sampwnd if they weren't rooted already.

I run VZW and the rom is based off a rom that is branded VZW, but it's a multicsc OYN install that hasn't ever been booted, so booting to recovery and factory resetting will complete the CSC install process. Worst case outside of the USB problems a few who don't have VZW have had minor issues with that but using the preinstalled PreConfig app to force the CSC install has taken care of all of them not suffering from corruption issues caused by USB issues as well.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] partcyborg:
Usb3 or usb2? If you have a us3 port im definitely want to know what's up there...

If you have time to run a test for me I'd really appreciate it. If you could copy the zip over to your phone (the uncompressed tar.md5 or system.img.ext4 is too big to copy uncompressed), unzip and try flashing it from flashfire that would be awesome.

If I can find conclusive proof that it's caused by the image size, I actually have a prerooted samfail modded copy of the sampwnd eng system that for some magical reason that I can't figure out flashes flawlessly almost every single time I've used it, and it's a sparse image which are VERY finiky and fail most of the time. I think it has to do with it being basically 100% stock with the only change being the installation of supersu which I did on device and then immediately imaged the system partition.

I got permission from elliwigy to share it with y'all and if it could be used as a bootstrap for anyone who can't flash the big full rom correctly via samfail, meaning they could flash this rooted eng, then install FF and flash PCR with that, which won't have any of the corruption issues
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] Goddly:
Upon flashing the rom. Going to pre config , there's just an empty list.

Flashing the multi csc, then going to preconfig gives the list of every carrier. Just a heads up.

---------- Post added at 12:19 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:15 AM ----------

I've used USB 3.0 and 2.0. Seen no difference between the two. Same results.

Let me know what you need.

Copy what zip? Flash via flash fire? Odin. ? What exactly will this change?

---------- Post added at 12:23 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:19 AM ----------

Understood. ..

But...

I have flashed this ROM via Odin AND flash fire. Both gave service issues. So I'm unsure if file size is an issue using flash fire as well?

So, you installed this specific rom and you're trying to unroot it? Or, are you trying to flash a stock rom?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] notsureyet:
I rooted my device with the method in this thread and I'm trying to unroot it with the stock rom, but it's not working through either odin version. Is there a particular way to unroot from this?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] djcrystals:
Well, which version did you install (V1 or v2) and which version of stock are you trying to flash?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] josezr:
Make sure the stock rom is bootloader version 2
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] notsureyet:
V2, I used this one:

SM-G955USQU2BQK5

I'm sorry, this is all a bit over my head, which roms exactly should I be using in order to unroot? Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] djcrystals:
Ok, if you want an unrooted ROM you need to download Stock Firmware and flash is using regular ODIN. Do you have the 955U or 955U1?

---------- Post added at 01:13 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:29 AM ----------

You might have the U1. If so, you could flash this https://updato.com/firmware-archive-select-model?record=ED4FB50DEC0611E7A5F9FA163EE8F90B

You might have to use Prince Comsey Odin for that since you'll be going from a 955U from to a 955U1.

You must be flashing V1 while you're on bootloader 2. Which version are you trying to flash?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] ikoyhn:
Ahhhh that must be it, I was trying to flash the "SM-G955USQU1AQK3" version not the "SM-G955USQU2BQK5" version. I was on a really old firmware but I unrooted and did all OTA updates so I probably do have the V2 bootloader. I haven't been active on XDA since around when SAMPWN was released so I am still trying to catch up on all the new things haha:). I'll try to download the V2 version and see if it works out. Thanks for the help!

*UPDATE*This was the issue, thanks djcrystals! And also this is THE BEST one I have tried, so clean and fast???

It includes the propriatery codec that comes with the stock rom which is supposed to be comparible
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] joseph0042:
Thanks for helping! So the standard aptx and not hd? I believe the stock rom is aptx on android 7.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] Arden144:
I've been in the Bootload V1 of this rom for a while and recently updated it to V2. I was thinking about when Oreo was coming out so I tried flashing back to stock and then hopefully to Oreo.

However, Going back to my stock (Telus), or a stock Sprint file or the BQL1 for flashing the Oreo zip all failed in different ways.

1: The screen with installing system update would stick at ~36% and say error and bootloop until I put the phone in recovery.

2: Install went fine but once it got to recovery to install the zip there were a bunch of errors saying the /efs partition failed to unmount and the install from adb just made the same efs message spam forever

3: The device rebooted to a blank screen saying the DRK (device root key) was missing and had to be installed with an eng room.

Phone's not bricked because I can go back to PartCyborgRom and SamPWND but everything else just fails.

Also, I tried flashing these files with either regular Odin and Comsey Odin to see if that made a difference.

Device model is SM-G955W8
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] djcrystals:
I use this....

[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] gerryl432:
The 36% error and the efs mount fail is normal. Id try factory reset in stock recovery then reboot to dl mode repartition with pit file and flash stock ql1 regular odin
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] joseph0042:
So I've flashed the rom and everything seems to be working but standard file transfer via the usb c cable and my pc. Any ideas?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] klark1kent:
Happy to see you're working on an update for this. It's been great the way that it is, I'm happy I finally got past that whole 80% thing. I can't even tell the difference between 80 and 100, really I get better battery life.

Anyway I was wondering if you'll be able to get the Accounts portion of Settings to recognize Samsung Cloud again? I know Samsung Cloud stopped supporting wireless backup / sync of 3rd party applications, but I am hoping that with it being reintegrated back into settings and Cloud being a functional component of the rom, it might allow me to use Smart Switch. I also lost a **** ton of photos i'd backed up in Cloud after flashing this and some voice recordings of a relative with a terminal illness I'd really like being able to at least try to get access to. I can't get any iteration of cloud working through sideload and the only way I can actually get to the old "Accounts" setting in the settings is by going to the Reset menu and then clicking on Accounts at the bottom which are listed as a Suggested Setting...

For some reason, CSC isn't configured right for me either. My firmwares CSC code is blank in Phone Info (app from playstore) like it's not recognized. Calls work, everything else works, but I constantly get a Network Error when manually trying to select a network or discover default network settings. The phone works, just something not working right there. I know I could flash the stock CSC from what I believe but when I was researching it, wasn't sure of the exact CSC or CSC_HOME to flash or which or any of that.

Just a couple things I'd be very appreciate of if you took into consideration if time permitted.

thanks!

I'd start by going to Device Manager of your computer and ensuring you have your drivers installed correctly. If the device isn't even being recognized by your file system, that's most likely the problem. I'd also try a different port. File transfer for me tends to work with either USB 2.0 or 3.0 but as indicated in OP sometimes USB 3.0 is weird with this phone. If it were me, I'd use Nirsofts USBdeview to determine what drivers I have and which are active and go from there. Obviously, the other clear thing is make sure USB debugging is on. I'd also try booting the phone into safe mode or another mode and seeing of the device is recognized there. is your phone recognized via adb device?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] joseph0042:
I've used every port on my computer, but it fails to read. Adb says usb connection. It was read fine by odin and before pushing the rom.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] flipper2006:
please look at joining another call to the current call . it doesnt work, and you just get static on the phone when doing it. I tried all different combinations and it fails each one. not a deal breaker, but it's a nice feature when you are speaking to someone and need to add 1 or more people to the existing call.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] joseph0042:

If I were to root my device and then later return to stock firmware, would the battery be able to charge to 100% again?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] josezr:
Yes, the 80% battery is just for the root, when you back to stock, battery going back to 100%
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] Chuckd610:
Fast charging seems to be broken. Anyone else?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] bradical711:
I've been on two different versions of his rom and never had fast charging problems.. maybe check your cable and others cables too if you can.? As it's always worked fine for me. If anything, maybe reflash if it's more than one cable not fast charging. Otherwise I don't know what would have caused it and I haven't heard of this issue happening with anyone else.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] DJenkins89:

[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] namsir:
so mine boots up fine the first time but it asked for "Device Update" ? should i install the update or ignore it until i finished flashing flashfire?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] bradical711:
Ignore it. Continue with what you're doing.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] namsir:
should i update it after i'm done with flashfire or ignore it forever?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] bradical711:
Once you use flashfire, you won't have the update anymore so basically ignore it forever.

Once you reboot immediately open flashfire as soon as possible. Even before everything settles in. That usually works for me.

Turn on airplane mode, reboot, open flashfire, once it loads you can turn off airplane mode.

Auto-reboot does not work`

I'm following the directions to the letter, on a Tmob Galaxy s8+. All downloads complete successfully (I even checked them on subsequent attempts to for corruption), and yet after I flash the first part "AP_PartCyborgRom_bootloader_etc" my device refuses to auto reboot. A manual reboot into download mode again gives me the anticipated error message, but when I move on to flashing the BL, again, no auto-reboot, and it definitely doesn't go to recovery mode. Can anyone shed some light? I'm using PrinceComsy version of ODIN, do I need to downgrade?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] Chuckd610:
The bootloop version doesn't work for me, but the other one does. Just wanted to see the difference. Anyone else?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] bradical711:
That's because the bootloop edition is for bootloader version 1 devices. And you're (obviously) on bootloader version 2 meaning your device can only use the other version (BQK5) and not the bootloop edition one. Once your device upgrades bootloader versions, you cannot downgrade to ANY previous bootloader versions and firmwares nor install any bootloader version 1 roms. Also, there is no difference between the two except that the revision 2 version (U2BQK5) is more stable and has more improvements all around to the ROM. Also the "two" in (U2BQK5) after the "U" means you're on bootloader version 2. If you were on say bootloader version 1, it'd say something like (U1AQI6) or something similar in settings under your firmware version etc.
