Would it be possible to remove TouchWiz from the ROM? Thanks for the great work by the way! Flashed my phone (even using 3.0) and it went off without a hitch. Really enjoying it!
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] IJoxer:
???

I'm not the dev, that would be [MENTION=8360749]partcyborg[/MENTION] but glad you're enjoying it, leaps and bounds above what we had available before. It isn't recommended to flash with 3.0 ports though, it may seem fine when really an underlying bug is waiting to pop up at the most inconvenient time. But whatever, if it works it works, just something to keep in mind if you get any strange behavior.

Edit

And no, without the ability to unlock our bootloader, we have no way of going without TouchWiz, unfortunately. However, it does seem to be much better than it was in previous years.

Try firing up PreConfig and setting your csc.

Download & install Shortcut master. Fire it up, grant root and go-to menu -> secret code browser. Scroll down to the PreConfig app (it's easier if you do menu -> sort by app), select it and hit input 0. You should get a bunch of rows of the various cscs installed as part of OYN. Select yours and press Install.

Hey, thanks for trying to help me. :) But I can't select a CSC from where you tell me to, all it shows is this. I have a verizon s8+ btw.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] partcyborg:
Ok, I have seen this once or twice and I'm pretty sure it's corruption from usb issues. Do you have another USB port or even better another system you can try flashing one more time on? Preferably usb2 as usb3.0 controllers are having tons of trouble due to the size of the rom file.

If not or it still doesn't work I have a plan b that will work, but I really want to track down the cause of this and it happens rarely
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] Stovall Family:
I flashed through flashfire ap only
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] partcyborg:
Yep! The 8.1 latest. With fixed cheeseburger ?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] djcrystals:
This thing's running like a champ. Just to verify though, the settings menu is kinda wonky looking with a bunch of extra stuff and doubles....normal?

It's running fine. Just making sure it's supposed to look like that.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] partcyborg:
Hey alsoz when you try again can you please do the following:

When you load up AP part 1 in Odin, before clicking start go to to the options tab and check "nand erase all"

I meant to add that to the official instructions but forgot. Sometimes it fixes issues like this
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] Goddly:
Me also
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] Stovall Family:
Yea, this is happening to me too. I don't think it's normal, but at least it works.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] Goddly:
I reset csc, via app mentioned. Choose SPR.

Install .

BUT

It resets the settings app. Along with boot and shut down animations. Not sure what else.

Forces install of Sprint apps.

Gave me (instead of circle with line through it) empty signal bars... still no service tho.

Then I went into network settings (which is different now. Then switched from lte /cdma to automatic. After reboot. BAM service....
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] blane3298:
I flashed the unlocked csc and settings are back to normal
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] Stovall Family:
Is there any way to do this through flashfire? I won't be home for 2 days and won't have a computer with a usb 2.0 port on me. Or, could setting virtualbox to use a usb 2.0 controller on my macbook air [mid 2015 so it has only usb 3.0 ports] work?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] partcyborg:
Download and flash this in FlashFire and you still get the boot logo back along with the lockscreen clock mod

https://www.dropbox.com/s/j0vp8q1p29y3wom/PCR_G955U-BootsEmojisFonts.zip?dl=0

If you rcs or volte icons come back, flash this too:

I went into the csc program files.

VZW was shown on top.

Went down to Sprint. Then installed.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] fomotomo:
Whts the screen clock mod?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] Goddly:
Thanks man. I don't mean to clutter thread. But when I went into preconfig,

It was set to VZW.

I'm not sure if there's a way we can have the Rom or csc preconfiged to Sprint? Or if using the app and installing SPR manually is the easiest way.

---------- Post added at 06:45 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:40 PM ----------

Doesn't change the animations. I'm also unsure what the clock mod is. I flashed it in the zip in flash fire.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] blane3298:
ive been running this since around noon. holy crap is it smooth
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] partcyborg:
You can flash system that way which is the important part. There are even instructions in the op lol
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] Stovall Family:
Ok sounds good. Thanks for your help! :)
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] partcyborg:
Did you set system to read write in FF?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] partcyborg:
I assume you mean touchwiz the launcher not touchwiz the operating system? That while I *COULD* nuke it it's a huge hassle to get something else setup for safe mode and if you set something else like I do (Nova!) It never runs and therefore uses no resources but a little /system disk, of which we have more free than you could ever reasonably use.

Touchwiz the os? What the last post says is spot on ?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] anubis2048:
I mean the actual TouchWiz UI, not the launcher. Do you know of anyone working on the bootloader? Or is it a fruitless task without anybody trying? When I search Google I just get news articles about the Non-USA variants having unlocked bootloaders - duh, we all know that. Although TouchWiz isn't horrible, I'd still rather not deal with it which is why I'm asking. Good job on the ROM btw, I replied to the other guy thinking he was the developer(i was really tired at the time).
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] live2playloud:
Ok so I am on bootloader 2 and it seems people are flashing this rom on bootloader 2 now. Can someone clarify if I can flash this rom and if I just follow the directions in the op still? Thank you
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] :
I'm on boot loader 2 on my now wreck of a phone, so I'm ready to try the best option for the v2 bl . And I managed to null the imei following some Canadian dudes videos. So I need to root it to reflash and my z3x hasnt accepted any v2 as rooted for me yet.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] partcyborg:
It's not that there isn't anyone working on it (I still do sometimes), it's that it's impossible unless Samsung made a critically serious error in some of the most carefully maintained and secure code in the public sector. Now we are all aware that Samsung is more than capable of making such an error (one of them is what makes all this possible in the first place), but this is a more critica feature (the Knox part) as it involves promises made in gvt contracts etc. The takeway here is that there is no defined amount of work that it would take to accomplish, like a research paper, but more like a creative invention, like discovering a new type of medicine that there is at least a 50/50 chance doesn't exist in the first place.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] pr1m317:
Any chance you're going to be posting this fix?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] partcyborg:
Sorry I passed out on the couch as soon as I got home last night. That can happen when it's Wednesday and you've been up since Monday morning (apparently insomnia runs in the Android family).

I just got home. Taking care of this first thing.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] partcyborg:
Aaaand I got totally distracted, my bad.

Here it is: https://www.dropbox.com/s/ttf5lycvbt7t8mj/PCR_G955U_SetupFix_1.tar.gz?dl=0

Since you can't flash from a phone thats stuck in setup, here are manual instructions:

1) copy this to your phone:

adb push PCR_G955U_SetupFix_1.tar.gz /tmp

2) adb into phone & become root

adb shell

su

3) make system read-write

mount -o rw,remount /system

4) cd to the right place and install missing packages

cd /system

tar xzvf /tmp/PCR_G955U_SetupFix_1.tar.gz

5) Remount read-only and safely reboot

mount -o ro,remount /system

reboot

When your device comes back up, you should be able to get through system fine. Already confirmed to fix the Xfinity issue
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] pr1m317:
Just want to be sure here,

Install partcyborg correctly

Flash the Jkruse csc

get the stuck setup wizard

abd this new file?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] partcyborg:
Yes.

Sorry for the extra pain. Next version all this will be fixed
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] pr1m317:
Perfect!!!

Theres no pain!?!

Sorry you had to go the extra mile for me!

Make some more post I'm running out of places to

thank you... lol

Edit: Not sure how or why but this broke SuperSU

Everything else is working, just no more root access

Edit 2: Restore was copying over SuperSU causing the loss of function, Wipe, remove SuperSU from restore, Perfect!
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] Stylin:
Very great ROM, runs nice and fast. Very simple and love how debloated it is.

For anyone having trouble getting network to work for some reason flash the Multi CSC from SamPWND thread, that helped me.

Great Job Cyborg!
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] :
Just read through this thread and noticed a number of people with their bootloader 2 being rooted. seen that guy posts and a few people post directions,which to me, look kinda odd to flash. How does everyone have the new bootloader rooted and why isn't anyone sharing links? these S*+ forums seem to be brutal lately. well looks like i wont be posting files i find anymore for this community anymore. I am actually surprised that this is how these forums are becoming. sorry to post this on your thread Cyborg but these guys on here dont seem like the sharing type.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] sabresfan:
It's already posted. Download the combination firmware shared earlier. Flash the new bootloader in Odin with the AP cyborg rom just after. If your having problems with texts flash the csc file from the original root thread. There aren't official directions yet cause there's not an official rom based off the version 2 bootloader yet.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] :
That's the only way to get root then huh

---------- Post added at 04:40 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:39 PM ----------

And isn't the bl in the op for bootloader1?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] sabresfan:
Yes the bootloader in op is version 1. I flashed the entire combination firmware shared earlier version 2. Then flashed the AP cyborg rom. After that you'll have root on the new V2 bootloader. You may need to try the csc file from SampWnd thread for texts. It's not hard just getting people to start flashing firmwares on their phones when many aren't even sure what model they have creates chaos and endless posts of what do I do now. Make sure you have the latest Odin image with the V2 bootloader to flash in case something goes wrong so you can recover. It's in the Oreo thread. Good luck
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] :
Also I've had the combo firmware for quite some time. So in your method you guys just flashed these over bootloader 2 and it just worked? I'm actually confused on all this because I'm flashing a bootloader and an AP file and I'm not even rooted? So where exactly is the root coming from? The AP file I know has root, the bl may have root but like I've mentioned I'm on b2. Well gonna try it and see what happens. AND also to let you know, what do I do with combo fw? Leave it stored so it looks pretty? You guys mention anything clear. Sorry I'll just save myself the hassle and continue messing with things my own way or just wait for partycyborg cause I don't feel like doing it without clear instructions.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] sabresfan:
The combo firmware has the permissive boot that's required for root to work. Without that none of this is going to work. You have to use the bootloader from the combination firmware along with AP cyborg rom for root to work. Perhaps there's confusion on the bootloader your using causing you to not have root.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] :
i just figured tht much so i had flashed the ENG_boot file that i have with the AP of the PCR and first boot had subsystem crash MODEM. i just rebooted and it went straight to the UI and F(&^(&^me man it worked! this is crazy. Im gonna play around now thanks for the clarification on this. I am tripping that it was that easy. crazy

---------- Post added at 06:40 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:21 AM ----------

nope guess not. didnt end well got a important message saying flashed wrong firmware and additional costs may apply blah blah

going back to stock if it lets me
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] sabresfan:
Reflash the combination firmware and then factory reset in recovery. Then flash the AP cyborg rom again. If you get some message saying seek help when you reboot it's ok it's in download mode. Connect to Odin and try flashing the attached boot image. It's the permissive boot image from the combination firmware. If it falls in BL slot try flashing in AP slot.

lol ive been flashing for a while ... following directions and having issues sometimes then getting help in fixing them if they can be fixed ... [MENTION=4467583]sabresfan[/MENTION] seems you know some info about BL2 and flashing whatever files then this ROM by [MENTION=8360749]partcyborg[/MENTION] and obtaining root on the BL2 .... could YOU [MENTION=1627329]SaBeRs[/MENTION]fan make a thread listing what files and links are needed for anyone to go on BL2 with this ROM ????
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] :
Everything went fine until I decided to flashfire 2bqk5 stuff. Then things went haywire. I'll just wait for a root method for bootloader 2. By the way partycyborg, that's a kick a$$ rom. Messed with it for a bit and funny everything worked for me like texts and data and everything else. Dude if that makes it out for BL2 which I know you have, that's gonna be my daily. Full of features and goodies. Thanks for your work
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] sabresfan:
Will do this weekend. I just retested twice with a fresh flash of the combination firmware and restored my flashfire backup again lol. I did get the modem crash earlier but factory reset in recovery has fixed that issue for me.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] Goddly:
It's not directed towards you Matthew. Lol but. This shouldn't have to be explained.

There's already a method in place. It's here... In this very thread! It's not hidden. Lol but. It's not 100% working and flaw free, I'm sure the dev will want to work everything out. Possibly get a 100% working version. THEN release proper files, instructions etc. But. Until then, there has been links, off hand methods mentioned. That will root V2 bootloaders. I would just wait, show some respect for the devs. Don't make a new thread because some "hatchlings" can't "find" it. (This is to all members in general, not singling any one user out. We've all done it. )

Why don't we wait until the dev either updates the op. Or creates new.

If one were to research and read. They would find what they needed, thus the whole "make a new op with the files and directions" is basically your saying "I don't feel like searching, reading, please feed me like a baby bird?" so I don't even have to read or even understanding what's even going on... With bootloaders, root and roms.

READ... Then re read... Please! . seeing as there is no recovery. One should make percent sure they know the instructions, process, and the files are exactly what is needed, and what to do.

Again... Not singling any one out. This is DANGEROUS STUFF ON AN ALMOST 1,000 DOLLAR DEVICE.

People... There is no working recovery for these devices. Odin can be VERY DANGEROUS if you aren't versed. And CAN brick devices due to blatant disregard.

Lol by all means, start a temporary thread for a thrown together root method for V2. Which will be updated, soon. Thus making another accursed thread that will pop up to confuse anyone who searched for answers. ([emoji23][emoji23]??? I made myself laugh there... ) This dev will up date when he can. But. Again.

Ok. CAPS ARE NOT NECESSARY I'm trying to help. Just trying to ascertain exactly what your issue is. Your flashing it via? Odin? Flashfire?

[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] :
yep thats what keeps making it crash when i flash the QK2 CSC it just stays stuck on bootloader. i tried the SAMPWND_CSC and that was an ultimate fail off the top. I am running a Tmobile S8+ carrier unlocked with an ATT sim.

On bootloader 2.

What works: everything when just flashing AP PCR and ENG_BL

it all works well although boot up times are horrible. Want to flash CSC (the correct one) because the settings menu has Tmo and its like doubled up??

What doesnt work:

the operator is having a malfunction, any CSC that i try to flash. oddly i have experienced after 3 reboots it doesnt boot back up,so, trick there is Dont restart the phone haha. any more ideas be glad to flash and break stuff
