What's the difference between the baseband version and the build number?

My baseband is SUSQU1AQK1

and my build number is USQS2BQL1

Are those supposed to match.?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] kleen3r:
Baseband is the modem. Build is the system. They do not have to match.

No but you will lose a your boot animation, a bunch of customizations, and a whole pile of bloat will get vomited back into your system. I do not have individual fixes for these, that's why I pre-installed the CSC.

again, there is a perfectly fine CSC already installed on your device. The CSC literally just unzips a zip file containing the contents of /syatem/omc into the system partition. I don't understand why everyone thinks it's the solution to every problem, when in reality the only solution it Is for is not having the right carriers installed. Unzipping a bunch of xmls that are 99.9% or more identical to the ones already there isn't going to fix things. 999 times out of 1000 is the unexpected factory reset that happens that actually fixes whatever the issue was in the first place. Flashing a different modem will probably solve this issue, if it doesn't then save yourself the trouble, loss of room features, and the reinstall of some garbage Farmville clone and just factory reset yourself.

IV downloaded the stock firmware from Updato, after I flash partcyborg BQL1 can I flash the modem from stock BRB1 from Updato? Is that a bad move?

I have a 2.0 usb hub and iv flashed partcyborg rom 4 times now and I can not get it to reboot to recovery after flashing BQL1..

Backed up Files from Smart Switch

After some trials and tribulations, I was able to successfully flash this, thank you!!! One thing I did not anticipate (and do not see any solution on here from what Ive read) is that I initially backed up everything via Smart Switch but now it is saying Unsupported Device. Am i just SOL with getting all that I had backed up back on this particular ROM. Please help!! :)
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] Super_SU01:
For the Subsystem modem crash I flashed the stock Modem from the stock firmware from Updato. Then I flashed the CSC so I would have signal and data, however there are 2 CSC files and if you flash the wrong one you will lose all you data. If you flash the Home CSC file in normal Odin you'll be fine your data will be safe the only thing will happen is you'll lose your boot animation it will go back to stock carrier ani...
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] Super_SU01:
So we will have the same boot logo that we had to begin with after flashing the custom CSC., I though you had stripped out the VZW boot logo and put in the custom logo[emoji21]

Edit,

Just curious would an app like boot box work on this device the 955u? There are 2 boot apps that I know if one is call bootbox and the other is bhoot, I found them on aptoid.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] partcyborg:
What? I did strip out the boot animations! I never said i added any back ?. You don't believe me or sumthin?

Idk what those apps are, the ones im familiar with need unlocked bls or i couldnt get working and ran out of time to mess with it

[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] Super_SU01:
Just wondering sumthn... [MENTION=8360749]partcyborg[/MENTION] since people is/was reporting including myself that flashfire keeps loading because SuperSU isn't being recognized, what if a different version of SuperSU was installed. Do you think that would help or not. Just a shot in the wind, it may not have anything to do with the version if SU just thought I'd mention it to get your opinion.. I ended up turning on airplane mode then rebooting to get FF to ask for SU access. I'm not trying to pick apart your work either, just trying to help with ideas and learn more about how this stuff works, because one day I would like to build my own software.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] partcyborg:
A different version doesn't exist. Supersu sadly is essentially abandoned right now, as chainfire has exited the project and the new owners have released exactly nothing since taking ownership like probably close to a year ago. Someone is working on an open source rewrite (supersu is closed source fyi) but its nowhere near ready for daily driver use yet. Literally everyone is running SR5, a beta from early 2017 as it was the last release to come out and the only one that actually still works, at least in nougat. I would like to reach out to this new dev (i think i know him from Google) but i havent had the time yet.

Regardless, the problem you are referring to isnt supersus fault, its flashfires. Notice how no other apps have issues like that whatsoever? When there is an odd one out like that, 99999 times out of 100000 its the problem. If supersu were broken and causing the issue all or large portions of apps would be affected. Instead we have 1.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] partcyborg:
Ok fine since you asked nicely. Hopefully no more vanilla csc flashing is necessary anymore

Just click the link below:

[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] partcyborg:
Yes it will work fine on oreo, as long as the 2nd to last number of the version you are on isn't a 3. Example:

Good: G950USQU2CRB7

Not Good: G950USQU3CRC6

^-- That right there is a no no for now

But afaik there is so rom in existence for 950u with a 3 there. Just something to watch for in the future.

You don't need to flash back to nougat stock first either. Your should be able to go straight to pcr. If you have trouble with the first step you can try flashing part 2 first, followed by 1 then 2 again, but i fine expect you will have any issues.

And thank you for asking! While i think that was covered at some point is buried in the thread somewhere and i wouldn't expect you or anyone else to find it. I should make a note to make that more clear in the op
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] Super_SU01:
Thanks man for making that!
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] Slim2none4u:

Yes. You use flashfire.

[MENTION=8360749]partcyborg[/MENTION] the boot animation works great, much better than the VZW one!

---------- Post added at 08:53 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:52 PM ----------

I actually did use flashfire but it didn't work, after I flashed it, it just booted back into the VZW stock animation. I had to manually add the files using root explorer.

---------- Post added at 09:02 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:53 PM ----------

I never added the post and pre-sh files I didn't think I needed to. Just added the 3 qmg files and works like a charm. Just wondering what's the 2 sh files for?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] partcyborg:
No way it didn't work. I've used that dozens of times. Send me the flash fire log from flashing it

I promise you it didn't flash, are you saying that you don't believe me[emoji17]

Log sent your way [MENTION=8360749]partcyborg[/MENTION]

Edit,

I flashed the zip with FF, I never checked any boxes in FF I simply just flashed. It went through the flash process just fine from what I seen but upon rebooting I still had the same VZW boot animation. I didn't wipe anything in FF after flashing the boot img zip. If it worked for you then i must have done something wrong..

Hey what happened everybody get drunk and pass out or sumthn [emoji23]?[emoji29]
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] Super_SU01:
[MENTION=8360749]partcyborg[/MENTION] I sent ya a message with the log attached.. Let me know what you found out.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] partcyborg:
Yea to close the loop on this... It didnt work because he didn't check mount system read write. You always have to do that. The built in mount calls don't work on our devices so you need to check that every zip. Technically i could customize it to work without but that would break the zip for all other devices and the framework in that zip i made to be an all you need installer.

Fyi: you can put anything relative to root in a zip with that META-INF dir and if you flash it it will install it in the exact same location. It will also run whats in the pre.sh before doing the copy and whats in the post.sh after it copies, so if you need to set permissions or something (or copy the new boot animation everywhere). Feel free to use it if there is something you want to make easy to install again after a flash, thats what i made it for.

Also after installing some substratum overlays I turned off my phone to wipe it off and when I booted back up it says Unsupported SD card and wants to format it so that's awesome

---------- Post added at 11:54 ---------- Previous post was at 11:38 ----------

And a heads up if anyone else uses substratum on this ROM, installing theme overlays for the default samsung SMS app can wipe your texts so make sure they are backed up. The devs 100% don't believe me and told me it's impossible.

Modem Crash

Just info for [MENTION=8360749]partcyborg[/MENTION]. I just turned off HD calling and immediately got a modem crash. The phone booted up and crashed 3 times before I could get past the sign in screen after using the power/volume down buttons to reboot from the modem crash screen. The 4th time I used power/volume up/bixby and the phone booted normally and ran long enough for me to sign in. (I don't know if using this button combination made a difference or it was just random chance.) I turned the HD calling back on. I had to use the ROM Control App to make it available. I don't remember having to do this before. Since then the phone has been OK. I haven't flashed your updated bootloader, but can do that when I get home. Just info. Maybe HD calling has something to do with the modem crashes. It may also be possible that something with the ROM Control app has something to do with it. I hadn't had it installed since the last time I flashed PCB (about three weeks ago) until this morning.

First off, [MENTION=8360749]partcyborg[/MENTION] THANK YOU for all your tireless efforts that you've freely shared with all of us here in the community!!! I know you've already confirmed that this will work, but just in case there are any skeptics PCR/Root will flash fine over 8.0 Oreo (tested on my VZW S8+) as long as 2 version of BL as PC has said.

Secondly [MENTION=8360749]partcyborg[/MENTION] any possibility of updating to Oreo base? Not sure what complications this would involve or if possible given ENG Kernel is 7.0 base...
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] Velaar.Felps:
Finally moved to rooted firmware on a permanent basis. Makes my phone much more usable. For all guys still in doubt - 80% battery is more than 100% stock battery.

One question for the community and maybe [MENTION=8360749]partcyborg[/MENTION], is there any good way (preferably stock) to run apps/games without pillarboxes? I mean, true full screen. On Samsung FW it was done through "game launcher" app but I don't think that it's a good idea to bring it as it has many dependencies like bixby or galaxy apps.

/system/fonts/Clock2017L.ttf /system/fonts/Clock2017R.ttf

Replace those two fonts with ones from stock and both the aod font and the lock screen font will go back to normal.

Also for AOD change the clock style to the one in this pic and it will not have the issue.

It won't work with a 7.0 kernel. Need an 8.0 boot.img with permissive selinux and no do dm-verity for Oreo
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] lmservas:
That's what I figured. Makes sense.. I was able to pull off PCR on my surface last night over USB 3.0 on 3rd try but using a super long crappy micro USB cable and the micro to c adapter lol.

[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] Super_SU01:
I'm wondering sumn, how come the retail versions of the s8+ doesn't have OEM Unlock feature.. I just wonder if there is a code or somthing that has to be entered to make it appear. That probably sounds crazy but it's just a thought..

---------- Post added at 09:35 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:25 PM ----------

Did you test that? 80% battery is more than 100%?

I personally think 80% is just that and no more. So 80% is actually 100%? I'm not calling anyone a liar it's just my opinion, unless there is somthing that I don't know about.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] Velaar.Felps:
---------- Post added at 09:35 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:25 PM ----------

More useful. Sorry for being unclear. It was well established before that 80% is 80%. But without Samsung/Microsoft bloat the system is not only more responsive but also lasts longer.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] Super_SU01:
No problemo man.. I agree I only have what I need and nothing more. Runs so much smoother and response times are much faster, an battery lasts a little longer. I believe the 80% battery thing will get fixed eventually..
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] partcyborg:
As has been mentioned ad nauseum, the only way the 955u gets 100% and root is a bootloader unlock. Its possible that MAYBE a leaked oreo beta with dm-verity disabled can be rooted but it would be a very different experience likely as you can not disable selinux on full stock boot images so even with proper policy the scope of what you can run is reduced
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] Super_SU01:
[MENTION=8360749]partcyborg[/MENTION], I'll probably just stay on Nougant. I don't wanna give up xposed there's no way, Oreo can wait... maybe forever!
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] Velaar.Felps:
[MENTION=8360749]partcyborg[/MENTION] sorry for persistence but that is my #1 issue at the moment (#2 is bluetooth not saving parings upon reboot regardless of XPosed status).

There should be a native way to run apps full screen without bringing 1/3 of Samsung infrastructure back.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] partcyborg:
I'm not sure what this refers to?

I mark all of my apps as full screen in settings and they work just fine.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] Pariah24:
Thanks, also I get some stuff that doesn't display like the degree character for this galaxy sensors widget. I replaced Roboto-Regular.ttf to a newer version and that takes care of the regular font but some unicode characters are still missing other places and I don't know which font I need to replace, and I don't want to go screwing around with it because it will cause my apps to start force closing if I mess with the wrong font.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] Pariah24:
I too agree that the battery doesn't last as long as I have done some rough testing with an unrooted S8, but look on the bright side: it's been scientifically proven its better for your battery to never charge it over 80% anyway
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] Super_SU01:
I usually put mine on a wireless charger at night and give the USB port a break. I get up often through out the night and once I see it's a 81% I turn it off. I sometimes run my devices battery completely empty. They say it's good to let a battery fully discharge now I personally haven't done any research on that theory but it doesn't seem to hurt anything, and to be honest I don't know if it helps either. I guess I'll research it now, lol...

I had issues with Bluetooth turning on and when I opened YouTube while YT is loading I can faintly see my home screen wallpaper, in the background it's never done this before and YT keeps loading it just shows the little spinning circle in the center on the YT app. I opened Flashfire and wiped Dalvik Cache and I wiped Cache Partition after I wiped and rebooted it took about 3 mins to fully boot up but now everything is working like it used to. Has anyone experienced this kinda thing before?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] Pariah24:
Also I don't get why the new versions of AOD don't work. It has a bunch of new clocks and more features and it's possible to install it and pull it up in settings but it doesn't work. If it isn't for these phones than what the hell is it for?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] partcyborg:
Lol are you talking about the version for Oreo? Cause there isn't one with new clocks for nougat. It takes more work to backport a feature across major versions of Android than just installing it.

Also, what does this have to do with my rom again?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] partcyborg:
No, 80% on a streamlined rom that runs only what you ask it to, effectively and efficiently is more than 100% with hundreds of useless services, dozens of spyware apps, and a huge mess of other software running 24/7 on your little cores with no control over what's happening inside your system.

Anything sounds silly if you cherry-pick facts like that.

So you have done better than this on a single charge?

I look forward to seeing those screenshots.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] partcyborg:

[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] Pariah24:
It only happens in certain places, like when the font is bold or something along those lines. My weather widget displays correctly as you can see, the other screenshot is from the widget for Galaxy Sensors, it shows the actual temperature from the sensor. if that widget works fine for you than maybe there is something wrong with my install but I doubt it. I've seen it some other places as well but it will take me some time to figure out where they were. It's a weird box with dark lines through it. My only guess is that one of the bold fonts has an issue with displaying certain characters.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] Pariah24:
I just fixed it by replacing Roboto-Bold.ttf with an updated one as well. The problem is the fonts are missing unicode characters for some reason. They are 100+kb smaller than the new fonts. I don't know if it's just me or what.
