Argh so I love the Rom and thought I was all good but unfortunately it is forgetting my paired Bluetooth devices. I have to pair them again each reboot.

I searched noticed others experienced this as well, but didn't see a fix. Really love the Rom but I can't do without Bluetooth unfortunately

NRD90M.G955USQU2BQK5 I've had this rooted since mid February and I have a strange question. I've mopped up a couple of times because I try to install magisk through a flash fire but it didn't take but when it Rebooted it triggered a violation and I went to straight to bad download mode all I had to do was to read flash through Odin the bootloader to so the version you see up there except it starts with BL. My question is this whole issue is the bootloader being locked since we have access to the bootloader file isn't it possible to tweak it to get rid of the lock prior to flashing it or am I way in left field?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] partcyborg:
What makes the dev think that? Without a specific reason it sounds like scapegoating to me ?️.

Tell him/her that they are welcome to msg me here or on telegram and ill happily assist in fixing it however i can.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] partcyborg:
Thanks man! Great plug for the flashfire method, which fyi is documented in the op but is kinda buried underneath the odin get-root-from-stock method. Anyone who already has root and is having odin trouble (or just would rather not use it) please feel free to try the flashfire method for flashing AP Part1.

That being said, unfortunately i can not recommend flashing the bl this way. Despite it working very well on the s8 and pretty much solely making root fun and useful, its not without its problems. I once had it corrupt something in a special not in the firmware partition for the modem that very nearly permanently bricked my phone when restoring a full backup. Like perm in a "phone crashes on boot every time while running root able firmware and only booting after about 30-50 crashes in a row and without working radio". I was, very fortunately, barely able to fix it but it easily could have gone the other way.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] Goddly:
I'm with you bro! I'm just trying to help out, I said highly recommend to follow the op. Lol I would never overstep the Creator. Lol I have had great luck with it... Thats all. You know I appreciate your hard work brother!

That's what I did. Hope it works for you
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] sallambander:
Nah its probably the restore i did using flashfire that's messing up my root. When I activate it I get an error Saying no root and when I go to supersu it says the same til I reboot. I must be restoring a backup thats breaking root. ?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] gerg8627:
When you restore, do not restore supersu. That will cause you to lose root.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] partcyborg:
Can you tell me a little more about exactly what you are restoring (system? Data? Internal SD?) and why (restore after upgrade? After bootloop?)? I can probably help, as from aqh3 to bql1 i did not start over with factory reset once ?️
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] sallambander:
I wanted to keep all apps/logins/accounts/info. I restored data and internal. No bootloop. The backup originally was from my old rom but no rom specific apps transferred.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] partcyborg:
When upgrading to a new rom version?

This can work, but you need 2 additional steps.

Before the restore task, add a wipe task. Make sure the 1st 3 options are checked.

Then add the restore tasks.

Then after the restore tasks, add another wipe task. In this one ONLY select dalvik cache.

Like this:
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] sallambander:
Hm. I normally add it after i do the odin file...
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] partcyborg:
You should do the before and after like i did.

If you did a top 3 wipe after the restore, then you literally just immediately deleted everything that you copied back. The top 3 are equivalent to a factory reset. You want to do that before restoring as the flashfire restore technique for data/sd does a file based restore so it doesn't delete whats there first so you want to erase the files that were written before the restore
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] sallambander:
I mean I do the full wipe, then the AP, then factory reset then odin then restore. I will add as an aside that just having minminguard installed (doesn't have to be active) causes bluetooth devices to be forgotten on boot.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] partcyborg:
Ah ok. So you do ff before odin, odin as written in the directions wjpes your entire phone, so effectively the same applies.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] sallambander:
I mean I do the flashfire method. So all odin is doing is the 2nd flash and no wipe?

Hello all

I flashed this and I didnt have samsung account. There were a lot of missing things. How can I install them.? Thanks in advance
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] matthewd769:
lmao ... you def do amazing work
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] partcyborg:
Flash stock?

Sorry im kidding lol. The reason things are missing is because i removed them this is a fairly well debloated rom which is why it's so fast and easy on the battery. Unfortunately i was only half kidding. If you absolutely must have it all back then stock is fine be your best bet. You can ryb it rooted if yoy want, but jfyi vzw will find out as there is code in the rom that i remove that credits.

If it's just a few things you want back, you can copy them from the stuck rom by hand back into your rom using a root explorer
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] Pickleboyofficial20:
Thank you for the fast reply. I will pull it from stock and Install it. I think I know how to do that. It definitely is faster then the oreo beta I'm on . Thank you for all of your hard work. Have a nice day. ?

How do you mix files from different BL?

Are your Bluetooth issues still resolved? Which combination worked best?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] matthewd769:
I flashed the BQL1 AP and the BQK5 BL
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] machx1111:
I was under the impression you can't downgrade the bootloader? Or did you never upgrade?

Well, I was able to flash BQK5... Fingers crossed

Ahhh right... brain turn on now! :D

---------- Post added at 10:08 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:48 PM ----------

Argh.. I tried this combination and still no luck. Bluetooth device paired > Reboot > Bluetooth turned off and no devices paired.

Any other ideas what could be wrong? I followed the OP and everything went PERFECT with a USB2 hub (or seems like that to me). Everything but Bluetooth works perfectly...

One thing I just want to confirm - After flashing AP, my device exhibits the expected behavior (crash into upload mode with "Unknown Error"). Odin should say FAIL at that point, correct? I reboot into Download mode and it shows the emergency message as expected as well.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] partcyborg:
Bluetooth device reset is a known issue right now. The problem is inside the rootable firmware, its not something i will be able to just fix. Its possible that i could put out a bl version that would not have this bug but the tradeoff would be that battery performance would not be as good. Would this be something that you would be interested in?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] machx1111:
I really use Bluetooth a lot.. so it's important to me. Would battery be worse than stock? or just not super duper like your standard rom?

hate to trouble you...really appreciate all the work you've done. I imagine getting all these parts to work with Samsung's locked down firmware is a mess :(

Hey everyone, I have a zip all of you can flash if you are having trouble with OTAs being downloaded, or if youre on an old version and are having debug message on boot issues. Just flash this in flash fire, setting system to read/write and you will be good to go after that.

[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] iiAustinL:
Got it working!

Just got my S8+ and tried this ROM using the steps provided.

Couldn't get Comsy Odin to flash the AP_Part1 for the life of me. Tried USB 3.1, USB 3.0, USB 2.0, USB 2.0 with hub, only to end up with the same error message Secure Check: Fail.

Finally got it to work by first flashing the BL_Part2 using the same steps that was provided for this part. Then successfully flashed AP_Part1 on a USB 3.0 hub -> USB 3.0 port.

So far no hiccups on my end, thanks for your awesome work! :)

For bluetooth, I'd suggest installing the xposed framework (not just the app, the actual framework) then uninstalling the framework. At least for me, bluetooth is fine as long as I don't have minminguard installed.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] machx1111:
Thanks for the heads up.

Isn't xposed preinstalled? I also sensed some weirdness and tried uninstall. But I got into some kind of boot crash in the process. Is there any special method to follow to uninstall properly? I never actually installed any modules
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] sallambander:
The app is preinstalled and when you open it up you are supposed to install the framework. I'd suggest you do a full reboot and try again. I ended up fully uninstalling then reinstalling because some modules weren't working.

[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] Goddly:
It's supposed to fail when flashing part 1. (Unless you're insinuating you couldn't get it do anything when loading part 1 into Odin. ) I sincerely hope you read the op before attempting this flash. Lol ;)
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] iiAustinL:
Yes it failed and displayed Failed: Auth in the Odin log, but did not reboot into Upload Mode and just stayed in Download Mode with the error Secure Check: Fail.

I didn't see any instructions that advised to flash BL_Part2 if all else fails (only when you get into a bootloop, which in my case didn't occur), so I thought I'd share my experience to anyone who may encounter the same.

Well, I'm trying to get the steps right to expand on that.

I had it working. Then I messed my phone up so did a clean install of this rom and am currently trying to get cloud back. I to am getting cloud crashes. So there must be a specific way to install these apps. I'm on round 3 now. Hoping to zero in on the exact process of getting cloud to work. I can tell you the Samsung apk my files also needs to be updated as that's part of the cloud portal.

I do, fortunately, have a complete flashfire back up so I can always restore it, but I'm really trying to lock down the process to post for others to get their cloud working if they so choose.

I'll certainly let y'all know if and when I figure it out.... Unless someone does before me ?

[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] Slim2none4u:
I got it working again.

From a fresh install, I updated all apps through playstore. Then installed Galaxy apps and updated it. Restarted phone. Opened Galaxy apps and updated all apps through there. Place cloud app in system/priv-app. Changed permissions to rw-r-r (0644) and restarted phone. Opened Galaxy apps and updated cloud app. Works like a charm. May be able to just update cloud app through Galaxy apps if you have it installed and be good to go. But that's how I got it working. Good luck!

I literally have never seen an app crash on this rom except xposed at first boot until i open the app and it makes its directories. This must be something that is s8+ specific.

If you can be more specific about what needs added/removed/replaced/upgraded i can make sure its fixed in the next version

I have 3 USB slots on my laptop 2 on the left side and 1 on the right side. The USB port on the right side I can't get it to work when I plug in anything it doesn't recognize it. When I plug in on the left side this happens. The 1st USB port I think is 3.0 on the left side it see my device, when I unplug and plug into the port right beside it I get Incomplete connection, please make sure the charger is plugged in properly.

Its really aggravating and makes me wanna pull my hair out and break something. A USB port whether it's 2.0or3.0 is the deciding factor in, if I will flash or not. And I'm not taking a chance flashing on 3.0 so piss on it I guess unless I can figure out what's up with these other 2 freakn ports..
