There might be but you would have to check on sammobile.com or updato.com first for the stock ROM if they have it. Anyways okay and yes, you would be correct in that, you cannot downgrade to any BL v1 firmware or ROM so keep that in mind but then again, most development that has happened for this device, has already been ported to the latest BL version.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Septaric:
I checked Sammobile.com all they have is for the BL 1. I'l check updato.com now. I don't want to try this unless I have a fall back.

Updato.com doesn't have a BL2.

Don't make this mistake I have BL1 and flashed BL2 that's. It would be very helpful to list all the firmware number and put which boot loader and rom to flash to make this clearer. Which boot loader is for G892USQS1BRD5?

[Samsung Galaxy S8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Septaric:
You would use V2 and yes it will update you to the version 2 BL. If you take the OTA update it will move you up to the BL2 also.

Last time I flashed the version 2 firmware over Bootloader1 big mistake.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] partcyborg:
Just to be sure: you are NOT already running the rom? If you are not, do not the the update. Nothing his can come of it, worst case you will end up with an incremented bootloader, and have to download all you firmware again. Best case you will flash a while bunch of stuff that you will promptly overwrite when you flash the rom

Don't accept it if you are running the rom either, although it won't do anything as you aren't running what it thinks you are, because if it did you would hard brick to edl and we don't have the programmer for the active devices
[Samsung Galaxy S8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] pwoolston:
I have not flashed this rom yet I am still on the stock rom G892USQU2BRE3. I am going to flash this with AP_PartCyborgRom_G892A-2ARA1.Part1.zip. I should be good right? I am kind of scared. LOL
[Samsung Galaxy S8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] partcyborg:
Just download the stock rom i posted earlier in case you get stuck unable to root today and you will be fine

I have T-Mobile G892UOYN2BRE3/G892USQU2BR3 (Oreo Cookie) when I flashed attempted to flash the version 2 of the firmware. I used Prince Comsy to flash the file my phone will not work now. I guess I could try to revert back to the factory default. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I got the same thing when I tried to re-flash my stock rom. I had to download ODIN 3.13.1 and use a different USB port. I'm not sure if it makes a difference but it worked for me.

---------- Post added at 08:16 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:10 PM ----------

I'm not sure what's going on with my post they seem to be disappearing after I post them. Anyway I didn't get the rooted rom to take on my Active either. Re-flash the stock rom back and you should be good.

Flash Firmware from G892USQU2BRE3 to G892USQS1ARA1

Is there a way to downgrade firmware from G892USQU2BRE3 to G892USQS1ARA1? I am trying to apply this rom but it will not work because I am on the latest version of Oreo Cookie from T-Mobile. Please advise. I assume that you have to have G892USQS1ARA1 to apply this firmware correct?

Thanks.

---------- Post added at 10:23 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:21 PM ----------

I am going to try to downgrade to Nougat from Oreo - G892USQU2BRE3 to G892USQS1ARA1 then apply this firmware. I assume that you have to have the same stock firmware on the phone in order to apply this rooted firmware.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Septaric:
It won't work. Once you go to BL2 you can't go back to BL1.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] TheMadScientist:
Yes you are stuck on the 2 bootloader no downgrade. I think you can go back to 7.0 but not the u1 bootloader.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] partcyborg:
This won't work, you are on bl v2 and the rom you are trying to go to is v1. Use the other version of the rom I posted for those with blv2 and it will work just fine
[Samsung Galaxy S8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] ffmaster112233:
So i've tried this on 3 different computers and like 5 different cables and haven't been able to get it to work. gets stuck on download mode with the error on the phone as "secure check fail: system." My firmware was g892aucu1aqg4 originally. So that's bootloader v1 right? Took me forever to get the stock rom back on my phone. Had to use regular odin and not the comsy one otherwise it would tell me Model dismatch fail.

edit: I think I figured out what might have been causing it. booting up my phone told me there was an unauthorized attempt to reset my phone. reactivation lock maybe? I'll try it again on my next day off
[Samsung Galaxy S8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Septaric:
ATTENTION:

When the flash finishes, this is when the SamFail magic happens. Instead of saying "Failed (Auth)" like it should, the device will crash into upload mode with "Unknow Error".

If your device does not do this, and just says "Failed (Auth)" or something similar and stays in download mode, you need to start again from the beginning, but using a different set of ub ports as you have suffered from the usb3 corruption.

When you see the upload mode page, use the 3 button reboot to go back to download mode.

Did you do the last step?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] ffmaster112233:
yeah that's the problem. it never crashed. I've tried every usb port on 3 different machines (usb 2 and 3) and I also tried the various methods people suggested that ended up working for them. It always stayed in download mode ending with "secure check fail: system."
[Samsung Galaxy S8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] ffmaster112233:
AT&T S8 active. g892aucu1aqg4 firmware.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] partcyborg:
You always have to use regular Odin for flashing stock. Comsy it only for combination and things like root.

But yea what he said, please tell me you read the section under the giant letters. Given that you are running a very old firmware with none of the issues that make things harder though, I fear maybe you did not ?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Septaric:
Hmm, I didn't know that. I used it to re-flash my V1 stock rom back to my phone, but I had to use a newer version of Odin for my V2 stock rom. That's good to know.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] ffmaster112233:
I read everything perfectly. It never crashes and it just stays stuck in download until i force restart it manually. Or is this what you mean by it "crashing" ? because it does say failed update after a manual reboot into download mode. I was under the impression it restarts into the next phase automatically to continue with part 2. I never once see anything about upload mode. This is where I am not having success and maybe i am misunderstanding your guide if so.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] pwoolston:
I tried this and got a "Setting check fail PIT error". Any other Ideas?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] partcyborg:
Reread the thread and try again. The only two things that will cause this issue is either really bad corruption due to bad cable or maybe drivers, and trying to flash an earlier flight version
[Samsung Galaxy S8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] pwoolston:
I have a brand new cable, I was able to reflash back to a stock rom so there is not a problem with the drivers on my computer. What do you mean by earlier "flight" rom what does that mean? Just out of curiousity have you actually tested this on T-Mobile bootloader version 2. I really need this fixed.

"
[Samsung Galaxy S8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] pwoolston:
Yes I know anything that I should try? I have an extra phone and I can use my Active as an experimental module.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] pwoolston:
V1

So you were actually able to flash V1 successfully? I actually got further flashaing V1 but it still failed with a Sec Auth error. I wonder if the Dev can create new ROM for boot loader 2 and above and Android 8.0? How did they inject the root into the firmware in the firstplace?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] TheMadScientist:
bootloader 2 is the last rootable bootloader unless you have a s8+

there is no root on oreo and prob not gonna be as the factory binarys only for 7.0

He does not even have this device so Its kind of like shooting in the dark...

Maybe if you guys could help out pull error logs if possible...

I cant speak for him But some of you guys are kinda fresh to flashing devices and such He may need a dedicated tester even that can pull logs and such not just want to flash something to there device.....
[Samsung Galaxy S8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Septaric:
I wish I had seen your post ten minutes ago. I decided to give it another shot. I'm on Oreo now. G892USQU2BRE2. I guess it's back to my stock rom for the sixth time now.

[Samsung Galaxy S8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] partcyborg:
Wow, this is a new level of fail lol. Let's summarize:

1) wrong thread. This clearly states it's not for your device

2) asking a question answered prominently in the ACTUAL op for his device's post. Both how to determine bl revision and which ones work for that device.

3) quotes the entire op to ask his already answered question, in the wrong forum. Everyone back here has already read it, thanks ?

As for your question, sorry buddy you're going to have to try a little harder than this before asking for help ???

Nougat only. Oreo is not and probably will never be rootable on these devices
[Samsung Galaxy S8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] partcyborg:
V1 or v2?

People, it's impossible for me to help if I don't have all of the information about what you are running, what device you are running it on, EXACTLY what the error is, at the very minimum a screenshot of it but much better is a logcat. I will write these up in the op but from now on if you are going to report an issue use this template:

Device model:

Rom version:

Baseband version:

Xposed Modules Active:

If this isn't 0, disable them all and confirm it is still happening.

Was this install dirty flashed or did you factory reset?

- if dirty flashed, stop here and factory reset and see if the problem remains

Describe Exactly what the problem is.

- Not just "I got a error" or "it's not working!", WHAT error? What were you doing when it happened? How many times has it happened? That sort of thing.

Provide logs from the time the error happened. This is actually very simple to do with root. Install an app called "Syslog" from play store. Load it up and give it root. Next time the error happens, as soon as it's over open Syslog and press Take Log with only Main Log (logcat) selected. It will collect the last 10m or so of logs and share a zipfile if them with you. Upload them somewhere on the internet and add the link here.

If you can't because the error causes a reboot or it doesn't ever boot or something, explain that and try and get a screenshot or at least write down the whole error message minus the stack trace (the huge list of source code files and line numbers)

With this information, I can almost certainly help, without it, I just wind up asking the same questions over and over which is time consuming and frustrating.

Sorry [MENTION=5187618]Lussardi[/MENTION] this was not at all in any way solely directed at you, I've just been meaning to write this for a while and felt the motivation ?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Lussardi:
Dont worry I fix this problem, SM-G892A bootloader 2ARB1 android Oreo and downgrade to full flash 2ARA1 nougat and use V2 and AP_PartCyborgRom_G892A_2ARA1.Part1c.zip to root and error "com.android.phone" dissappear, root this phone will be able to reset attempts unlock counter, thanks for you work!
[Samsung Galaxy S8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] partcyborg:
Ok I've had enough.

Dude, just stop. Just because you can't figure out how to do it does not mean it doesn't work. I honestly tried to help you, but you kept giving me completely nonsensical answers like "this firmware is for a different model" (no, that never happened), or I would ask you to do one thing like 5-6 times in a row only to have you time come back and tell me that you did something completely different instead and it "still didn't work!". Furthermore, I asked you for more information at least 3 different times despite you giving me completely crazy failure m modes that in probably 5k pcr Installs I've never heard of happening, or in some cases ever heard of from an Android device period ("it boots to setup screen then goes into a boot loop" what? How does a device 'boot loop' AFTER it has booted?!) Given that you weren't doing the things I asked you to do and your weren't getting me more information, I honestly started to suspect you might even be just "Iqbal the rom user" and trolling me. I get at least a dozen messages a day from people asking for help or who can't read my threads, and you had at least 10 things I said to do that you hadn't done, but I couldn't hold your hand any longer.

The rom works fine on both 892A and 892U devices, because they are the same physical device! The A vs U is a branding thing only and does not affect flashing stuff. There are literally hundreds of downloads of even just the s8 active V1 and v2 ROMs alone, if they were actually broken you would see a lot more traffic on this thread then there has been, which has honestly been more you making false claims than anything else lately.

If you aren't a troll and actually want this to work then go back and read my messages and do the things I asked you to do. The last time I heard from you you were trying to flash the nonexistent "902a version"

To the rest of you reading this, my apologies for the drama but I don't want anyone reading these posts made over and over by one misinformed person and concluding that this rom doesn't work. If I can get a mod to clean it up I'll delete that too.

I'm having issues, please help

I have the sm-g892u, sprint varient. It is currently running t-mobile's firmware with android 8.0. I have been trying to do this ROM's install, but haven't been successful. I do believe I have the second version of bootloader. Is there any chance of any direct aid? Team Viewer or something of the sort for this? I would love to have root on this device and this is the only attractive route. When I try the v2, it quickly says fail on odin, but the load bar in the download mode of the device remains present with no fail messages, it just doesn't move. That's with the second v2 option, the part1c. When I tried the original v2, the error on the device is Fail:PIT. When I tried v1 it automatically said a fail message ending lab fuse 2 binary 1. I'm not sure if I have to downgrade from 8.0 to then try, but then my issue with this route is that only t-mobile firmware is sticking. I'm tried 3 different sprint firmware for this device from updato, but none were successful. I'm currently trying to retrieve them from sammobile, but not complete. Please let me know if able. I thank you for your work and for your dedication and patience.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] partcyborg:
There isn't anything I could do differently if it's immediately failing.

Try flashing part 2 first, then start the whole process from the beginning. So part2, then part1 then part2 again.

If that doesn't fix it, and you are really seeing no errors on Odin, then it's probably a USB or cable issue, something to do with the signal path to the phone not working right. Also, please see my post few pages or do back about what information to gather when reporting an issue
