Any plans on getting Safestrap on the G965U? I really really really hope so ?

Can this one be applied to S8+ running 8.0?

There's still a bunch of Sprint crap in the rom that I would like removed
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] IJoxer:
You're not missing much, I mean it IS basically TWRP, so it's nice to tinker in recovery when necessary. My hope is that we'd get rom slots working, but hex editing isn't my strong suit (and apparently nobody else who's worked on it either). The closer we seemed to get, the further away we were. I used to enjoy the challenge Sammy gave us, but either it's gotten too impossibly complex or I'm getting lazy, regardless, I'm about to step away from this proprietary bull**** and pick me up something a bit more vanilla.

I didn't intend for that to be a rant, I suppose my frustrations are showing today lol.

I'm certain he was clear in that he already debloated the rom as much as possible without causing issues. You WILL still have an app here and there you would rather not have, especially pertaining to carriers. PartCyborg removed what he could to the extent it wouldn't cause FCs/bugs/etc, you have root and can happily uninstall anything you wish. So do that, System App Remover in the play store should do fine, or Titanium if you'd like to try freezing apps and testing possible issues before uninstalling them. Just don't bring your random issues back here as you've been thoroughly warned.

Also, for anyone interested (@partcyborg), jrkruse discovered the rev 4 BL isn't patched for the s8+ (Meaning it most certainly is for standard s8, considering rev 3 was patched already I believe)
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] CynicalHeight00:
CRE9 means Oreo?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] IJoxer:
Correct.

It's the bootloader revision for CRE9, which is Oreo, but it only allows the exploit to be used as jrkruse is using it for his custom Oreo roms (which are not rooted). We still need a method to obtain/sustain root on Oreo firmware. So no, this isn't a breakthrough for a rooted Oreo rom, unfortunately.

Is there any major differences between v2 and v3 worth upgrading for or just cosmetic stuff?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] IJoxer:
I'd say it's mainly for those who already flashed to v3 bootloader and weren't able to use this rom anymore, the benefits are minimal, possibly none.

With that said, now that it's available, there's no harm and using it. I did for the hell of it, might as well.

Unroot

I have successfully completed this root on the G955U.

I would like to revert back to the stock firmware. I am unable to flash any stock firmware to my device. After I've pressed start, Odin will freeze up while flashing the stock BL and/or AP. A status bar does not appear on Odin. There are no error messages in the Odin log.

And suggestions? Thanks in advance.

I had no issue installing this rom on my Sprint s8+. It was kind of easy. The rom seemed very buggy for my install, slow, and unresponsive with some kind of ugly pea green distortion all over the screen. A few reboots and it was gone. But soon came back. A few days of running, my battery life was fairly good and the speaker volume was way too loud. Honestly the whole reason I tried this was just for ad blocking and the stereo mod.

I soon found out the stereo mod was not stereo, the main speaker output both channels, mono, like it normally did and you got a faintly quiet left channel from the ear piece. Not sure if it cause of the snapdragon chipset or what.

The ad blocking was no better than using Seven Networks Ad Clear. The room did smooth out with extended useage. It was snappy but games and programs did not perform as nicely as with stock. I was so sad about that. I also had issue coming from wifi to network, not the other way. Coming off of wifi generally gave me about 45 seconds of no data. Bluetooth was working ok, battery dropped crazy fast while using it. I tried the root and was impressed that it worked. Well, I should clarify, that it almost seemed to work as well as a bl unlocked root. Except not being able to install any custom ROMs. If this ever updates to Oreo, I'm going to try it again.

Right now I'm back on stock. I was able to find the same ver2 bl rom version I came off of. The reinstall acted just like the rooting process. Giving an error and bl freaking out. Just went back and installed the stock rom again using the official Odin and im back to normal with no side effects. Thank you for this amazing work. I am hoping to see some tweaking and advancement. Would be amazingly awesome for us with this phone.

And if you have not tried the Good Lock 2018 apk set. Do it, you can remove the clock from you lockscreen. Even using a completely stock rom!
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] :
Woah! After thinking for months about turning into this rom and forgetting oreo I finally did it! and my God this is amazing! I missed root so much! I missed having gestures without that laggy accessiblity thing! I missed having quality music on my phone!!!!!! Finally I am happy with my phone! I even mapped the bixby button, no other methods worked before this rom! I LOVE YOU BRO!!!! <3 <3 <3 <3 <3
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] stillriza:
Partcyborg and the rest of the guys who worked on this to make it what it is deserve all the credit. Even when it seemed like Samsung closed all the doors in our faces these guys have been relentless. I have been using samsung devices since the original Galaxy and have always enjoyed root and custom roms up until the S8. I am sure I am not the only one who will not be purchasing another Samsung device after this one. But until my contracts runs up this is the best solution available for our Snapdragon NA variant. Again, well done to the original dev and everyone in here who takes time to answer and help out.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] TheMadScientist:
It can be a little buggy sometimes but for the most part its the best we can expect with what we got....:good:

I have run it for months now and am quite content with what I got going....

Yea I had a LG G5 before this 2 different carriers and no root at all on them....I was kinda taking a leap of faith on this one when I got it but all in all Its pretty righteous.... Specially after you've run it for several months and got everything tweaked just how you like it,Of coarse personalize the system for my own;)

[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] Gregbmil1:
But the screen is amazing ain't it though?:o. I never experienced root untill Partcyborgs S8 rom. I never even heard of a bootloader until I read his G950U root instructions. Now the most important factor about buying a new phone is, can it be rooted. Sadly my wife talked me into getting the buy one get one free S9+ at Sprint. I was hoping to see Safestrap for my G955U, but if not it's ok. I still have my rooted S8 that I always take with me along with my S9 stock, even though the S8 has no service:D. I'm told I have a problem, lol. I did debloat the hell out of the S9 with adb though. I swear I can stop anytime I want:p

Question: Why is my /data folder empty? The one in the root folder. I'm trying to apply a theme and I can't find the /data/overlays folder. Halp?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] partcyborg:
This is due to the updated lockscreen font and the clock doing something silly with the charset. Let me make a roll back zip for that
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] partcyborg:
You're root explorer is likely broken. I highly recommend ditching it for mixplorer available right here on xda labs. It beats the pants off if every single other file manager in existence in reliability, usability, themability, you name it.

I'm wondering what on Earth kind of ”theme" requires touching /data/overlay though?

Finally updated from a few versions back. What's weird though is that I still have my Sprint boot animation. My shutdown animation is different though. Can someone pull and post the animation files? Thanks

Edit - figured it out. The sprint boot animations are in a different folder. Once I moved them to the right place and renamed them, I was good.

[MENTION=8360749]partcyborg[/MENTION]

I have been using your rooted rom on my S8+ for a week plus. I am using WQHD as display setting. I have been getting less than 3 hours SOT everyday. While I know you cannot assess whether this is normal due to my setup, what can you say?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] partcyborg:
It's definitely NOT normal. Search this thread (or maybe the s8 one) and you will see my shared screenshot of 11 hours of SOT achieved on this rom. That is a bit extroadinary but clearing 6h minimum should be trivial.

What EXACT firmware are you running? The version in the op, or one of the BLs I shared later due to modem crash issues? Battery will be worse on the ones that attempt to fix modem crash issues but one of the versions will be much worse.

Did you dirty flash this install, or do a full wipe and reinstall? If you did a dirty flash, remember what the op says about those, so start from scratch and so if it persists ?

Did you flash any other mods? What about xposed modules? If your answer to either of these is not "none", then uninstall any xposed modules and check again. If you flashed zips if other stuff, then you will need to reflash from scratch even if there is an uninstall, as there is no guarantee that the uninstall puts things back exactly as it found them (and in fact few actually do).

If all is these are good, install Better Battery Stats and DeAmplify and let them run for a while while you aren't using your phone and see what they find. There are some great write-ups on xda if you do some Google searching for problematic wakelocks found by either app
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] CynicalHeight00:
[MENTION=8360749]partcyborg[/MENTION]

Oh wow... I'm speechless at 11 hours sot. I'm running v3 bootloader with a clean install. Probably, the earliest bootloader v3?

I also have busybox and TWRP installed. Should I not have that?

I got the rest.

Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] psych0r3bel:
Awesome, I'll try it out! Thanks for the advice.

As far as the theme, pretty much any theme that leverages the Samsung Theme engine seems to only register as a trial if installed externally. Making it permanent requires deleting the preferences folder in /data/overlays and moving files from /jsonfiles/trialjson to jsonfiles/userjson in the same folder to prevent the 10 min uninstall. Unless I'm working with a dated install method lol.

There's also a way to do it with package disabler but that requires doing it every time you reboot. Which annoys me lol.

One more bump to ask if anyone has successfully gotten Samsung Dex to work yet? I was able to get it working (with help from [MENTION=8360749]partcyborg[/MENTION]rom) on my debloated Note 8, but the same steps doesn't fix it for this ROM for some reason.

Other than Dex not working, this ROM is absolutely perfect. I love everything from how debloated the ROM is to the boot animation. Thanks again for putting this together and sharing it.

Hi, is there any way to change CSC in the rom? I'm in India and it isn't detecting that and enabling Volte, which I need to make calls. Please help.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] partcyborg:
The Dex package got debloated with the other Knox stuff as it is named similarly. Try pulling the apk from the stock rom and reinstalling it in the same place and see if it just works. I would like at this myself but I don't have a Dex myself so right now I can't
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] jal3223:
Awesome, thanks for the reply. I installed com.sec.android.app.desktoplauncher.apk in the piv-app directory and set the permissions appropriately, but it still says "Dex station cannot be started" or something similar. Do you know of any more packages that are associated with it by chance?

I got the latest apk from: Here - apk mirror, but I will try to pull the version from the firmware that we are on to see if it just isn't compatible with the latest version or something.

I got a log of the failure to start, but I'm not the best at reading them. It seems to know that the dex station is connected, but just cannot load the application. I'll let you know if the one from the current firmware works. If I get it going I'll let you know what I did in case anyone else would like to get it working.

If the bluetooth unpairing issue is due to xposed - do you think you can put together a zip to remove xposed? Is it something as simple as removing the xposed apk's from somewhere that I can do manually? I don't think xposed brings much to the table on this rom, so I'd rather have have the bluetooth fix. Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] partcyborg:
Just use the uninstall function in the installer app. I didn't do anything special here. Hopefully that fixes it, as the issue persists even on my new SM-G9650 (intl. snapdragon S9+ with unlocked bootloader) running systemless xposed and looks like a real tricky one rovo89 to fix

Re: Dex / KNOX in addition to my own custom list I use superr's debloat lists including his Knox one, which I already had to roll back one set of deletes due to issues they caused so it's possible other things on that list are to blame here. Unless you happen to have bought his premium rom kitchen aswell I'll have to go dig out that list which I will be able to do later today. There is also a small possiblity that there Knox stuff being off for root is to blame and if that is so sadly there won't be much they can be done to as naturally we can't use magisk/suhide/etc with a locked bootloader
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] jal3223:
Thank you for being willing to check it out for us man! I have read on other debloated ROM threads that knox isn't required for DexHome to work, but I'm not sure if that's true or not. Would you be willing to look at a logcat if you get the time?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] fachadick:
Used the uninstall function, but still have to re-pair on each reboot. Oh well. Thanks anyway though - if you ever get to the bottom of it, can you post the fix?

[MENTION=8360749]partcyborg[/MENTION] - the solution to the bluetooth unpairing issue can be found in this thread, but it's over my head. Can you use this to make a fix?

https://github.com/rovo89/Xposed/issues/294
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] koobie777:
I tried it and it works! So the lib files that you need to replace are in /vendor/lib and /vendor/lib64 then change the permissions of those files to rw r r and then get build.prop editor on playstore and change securestorage setting to false. You don't need to reflash or uninstall Xposed either. I'm also using jrkruses blv4 paired with this rom.

[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] fachadick:
And I was able to fix it on my end thanks to your easy to follow write-up, so thank you!

edit - looks like it cuts off wifi on reboot now, but that's still so much better.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] elesbb:
On a clean install, after you've replaced the necessary lib files, do to /data directory and delete everything that starts with system.

An easy way using command line:

rm -r /data/system*

This will wipe your device like a factory reset and reconfigure the secure storage encryption algorithm for WiFi settings
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] partcyborg:
This is great news guys! Thanks for finding and sharing this. I'm going to put together a zip that will install the libs and flip the prop for the rest of the folks for whom the instructions as written may be a bit too complex.

Just to be sure though: after turning off secure storage and factory resetting, things like the fingerprint reader and pin based login and stuff work right? I remember turning this off before and lost those things but I didn't factory reset.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] elesbb:
Everything on my sprint S6 works perfectly. Only thing I haven't tried is private mode. You should also include in the zip the wiping of the /data/system* directories. I tried a factory reset through stock recovery, and it removed hotspot. It still worked just didn't have necessary settings and quick tile toggles.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] koobie777:
Ill try a factory reset and report back

Edit: Well after doing a factory reset through the stock recovery everything works! I was able to set a pattern and fingerprint during the intial set up and wifi and and bluetooth are remembering pairings [MENTION=8360749]partcyborg[/MENTION] Maybe we will see this fix in BRB1? Lol

Hi all ... got no reply to my last message as im pretty sure nothing has changed for file wise. However the last time i did this i used ifnim right the bql5 bl and the bqk5 ap ... so there were no modem issues ... is this still the case??

ok so rereading the OP for the 5th time ... im confused AGAIN ....

6) Close and re-open Comsy Odin or hit the reset button, and once again add BL_PartCyborgRom-BootLoopEdition-<version>.tar.md5 to the BL section.

there is nothing BEFORE this step that has the BOOTLOOPEDITION in the directions? are we just flashing the BL of our choice then the AP file THEN the same BL file?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] fachadick:
Thanks! I don't suppose there's a way to do that without it doing a factory reset? Having my phone remember the one or two wifi networks I use isn't really worth the effort it would take to set everything up again.

---------- Post added at 02:30 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:29 PM ----------

The OP has been rewritten so many times I think this is just a leftover. Download the appropriate files for your phone scenario, and you're flashing the same BL twice I believe. You should only be working with two seperate files.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] partcyborg:
Did you filter by error (do you know how to do that?)

It's possible you are having USB issues that aren't keeping you from root. The way to solve for those is to flash the system image from the AP Part1 via flashfire or safestrap instead of Odin.

Follow the directions I originally gave otherwise with amplify and better battery stats.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] CynicalHeight00:
I do know how to filter adb logs lol. I didn't, and I saw errors in F,E. D and I might have errors, because I keep seeing, " Sem mKnox info empty". Umm, I booted in safe mode, and battery drain was not as much.

Where is your directions on amplify and bbs? Most importantly, the screenshot of 11 hours sot ?
