Why is my phone taking 5 minute to boot up after every reboot
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] GuyInDogSuit:
Be more specific. What is it doing during the boot up? Optimizing?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] Slypnslyde:
If I hit reboot from the reboot ,powered off, emergency mode off screen it will reboot but it sits on the galaxy s8+ screen for like 5 minutes then boots up
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] GuyInDogSuit:
Jesus. That's not normal at all. I'm stumped.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] Slypnslyde:
Also I don't see the cool boot up screen ,I'm using the latest system img
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] GuyInDogSuit:
Did you before? Did you make any changes lately, flash any mods?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] Slypnslyde:
Nope did a fresh install ,also my status bar LTE looks different now I'm on sprint. Its It's showing checking device status sprint omadm. Should I flash the g955-dsc1-v5 or the g955usqs5dsc1
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] GuyInDogSuit:
Oh crap. I've seen that issue a few times in the thread. [MENTION=1949695]jrkruse[/MENTION]?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] Slypnslyde:
Ok I fix everything. So what I did was restart from scratch and then when I flashed the system img in safestrap I also flashed the dual speaker mod right after. Once I was back up and running I did the ##band## So when that was done configuring everything is good now. I have sprint style LTE status bar and sprint's update prl and update profile in the system update section!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] GuyInDogSuit:
Weird how the speaker mod somehow had a hand in fixing it.

Doubt it was that, though. I think you did something differently this time, besides flashing the mod.

Not sure if you're having the same issue I had, but I believe you have to format your sd card to exfat, I ended up putting the needed files on an extra sd card that I formatted to exfat then I was able to copy it over

Hey guys, Im back on the safestrap Rom's again. I'm using ATT SIM, and most things are setup and working the way I expect them too (WiFi calling, VoLTE, able to use hotspot/tethering without tirday party software, etc.).

However, I noticed my carrier provisioning reads XAA/ATT/SPR.

Is that correct? Or should I be modifying some CSC files and moving them around on my phone to make it more like XAA/ATT/ATT? Would love some detailed instructions if so. I did see some mentioned how to do this, potentially back on post #1820
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] Roman_RO:
I done the quick formatting to exFAT from fat32 and it didn't work lol, im a pulling my hairs out one at a time. After I download the ZSBB Sfail pie files I then extract them, why is the ZSBB system IMG so dang big almost 5gb....

I'm gonna try to format again only this time I'm not picking the quick format. I dunno man its really frustrating, moving that stupid IMG file is the only issue I'm experiencing.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] xdanilva:

Here may be your solution to error 255

https://forum-xda--developers-com.c...-error-twrp-backup-restore-999-t3801632/page1

It says open terminal emulator

Type: su hit enter and grant su permission

Type : pm remove-user 999

Press enter

Close terminal and reboot.

Now reboot twrp and your 255 error should be gone.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] Roman_RO:
Im using a SM_G955U VZW. I DOWNLOADED ODIN FILES RAR AS WELL AS THE SYSTEM RAR. I THEN extracted them both. I got a home CSC tar when I extracted one of the files and I didn't see anything any were in the flashing instructions about flashing a home CSC..still getting error 255 when flashing system IMG. Is really confusing for someone that hasn't much experience and really frustrating when I can't get any help. Sorry

Also is there supposed to be a modem tar and the dream2qlte_USA_single.pit?

I'm not rooted and I don't have a OS installed on my s8+.

---------- Post added at 05:33 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:06 PM ----------

I need a OS installed! All I want to do is flash any ROM I don't care what ROM as long as I have a working device. I however DO NOT want to be rooted. Iv tried installing ZSBB dsc1 and I can't get it to work. I finally got that stupid IMG file copied after a day n a half of trying and now when I flash I get error 255 lol. Again I'll say I extracted 3 rar files the 1st was the Odin files RAR, the 2nd was dsc1_system rar and the very final one I extracted was AP_safestrap_system IMG. After I extracted all those files I started at step #1 on the safestrap method after step 5 on the SS method I then scrolled down to the Samfail install instructions got to step 6 then I went back to step 2 on safestrap method lol then once completed all steps rebooted into black screen.....

Is there supposed to be a dreamqlte pit file I just want to be sure that file isnt a old file I just had setting in my folders. Also none of this is gonna do me any good if I keep getting error 255 when flashing the IMG file right???

I love it so much fun wish I could do this everyday.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] Slim2none4u:
Download the latest firmware and flash in Odin then if all you want is a working device.

Am I missing something?? What's wrong with that?

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] tommy_riley:
I use the sammobile site to easily look up my device firmware releases - you can get the name of the release build, and which carrier the release was for. For the ones that say "unknown" for carrier, if you hover over the download link you will see in the path of the link if it is an XAA, XAC, etc firmware so you know which one you are getting.

Once I know what firmware version I want, I then load up that new Frija download tool mentioned earlier today and plug in the release number, let Frija find it, then click download. The download is amazingly fast - it looks like it is able to take up as much bandwidth as I can give it. I was downloading builds at over 10 megaBYTES (not bits!) a second yesterday with Frija. No sign ups, no BS. I was impressed.

This was confusing for me as well, the latest files available for download, the "SM_G955U_DSC1_Odin_Files.rar" package, well the PIT file isn't in with the HOME_CSC tar, it's tucked in the BL_G955USQS5DSC1.tar. Took me 45 minutes of searching this thread, other threads and the compressed files to figure out where it was. All mentions in this thread to the PIT file, that I saw, kept referring to grab the PIT from the CSC file.

Lastly, pretty much any programs I use from XDA to mess with my phone - I always launch those programs via "RUN AS ADMINISTRATOR". Seems to solve a lot of problems.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] Roman_RO:
Thank you very very much for explaining that! I downloaded the firmware from updato but it failed when trying to flash with Odin. Well its been 2 days I been working on this guess I'll puter up won't have time to screw around with it until next weekend. I was really hopping I could have gotten this fixed.....owell I'll eventually get it might take awhile but I'll get done. Learning as I go man there is a lot more to this flashing stuff than I thought!! Fingers crossed

Edit, hover over what download link? Im lost lol. I have the tool installed, and I picked the first firmware on the Sm g955u list on Sammy site, its CSC is G955UOYN5CSB1.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] xdanilva:
Frija downloads off of the carrier servers. The only downsides are that it can only download the latest firmware available that the carrier has. Also I think for Odin to work you need the Samsung USB drivers https://developer.samsung.com/galaxy/others/android-usb-driver-for-windows and you need to make sure that your phone is in download mode. Umm if you're willing to wipe all of your data the best option would be to first make sure your safestrap system image and all other needed files are on your SD card then go to download mode power + bixby + vol down and go to Odin > options > and check off nand erase then follow the rest of the instructions also for the pit file needed look inside BL_DELETE_CACHE.tar.md5 with 7zip

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] tommy_riley:
Do you see the com link lit up on Odin? Are you using the special comley (or whatever it's called) latest version of Odin? So you have the latest Samsung drivers installed? Are you booting to download mode on your Samsung device? Are you certain the Odin firmware you have downloaded is supported for your device you have? Have you tried troubleshooting usb connection without Odin (e. G. Enable Dev mode on Samsung, install adb files on PC, make a connection and see the devkeoper message pop up on phone asking for permission for computer to access phone), or have you been able to see the phone after you plug it in via the computer explorer window, navigate folders on the phone and copy files to from the phone?

Also, that Frija app verifies files after it downloads the firmware so you know you won't have any corruption there.

I'm not using the special comy Odin. As far as Samsung drivers I installed those also. I am booting to download mode then plug into PC and click volume up to start then I load my files in Odin. My device doesn't have a OS so I can't get into dev mode. I also have adb set up and working correctly. And windows sees my device.

Nvm. You see that Odin file in the zip use that and nothing else for flashing. At least for non stock

Also make sure that when you're using it that your device shows up on a COM port also try experimenting around on ports

I'd suggest using the Odin installer from here:

When I flash the pie ROM on XDA Odin passes everything that it should pass and fails in what the op says should fail, I completed those steps, but when I got to the system IMG I flashed that via safestrap and got error 255. After many trys with pie one with the moded Odin I gave up. Then I tried to flash stock Sammy firmware with and it fails. The only Odin I haven't tried using to flash stock Sammy firmware is the prince comy Odin. The Odin I used for the pie one unroofed ROM I got from the OP.

3MinitBattery mods (TWRP install zips) for G955U DSC1 (9)

Hi all

Here are the install and uninstall zips that I created for 3MinitBattery for the DSC1 G955U using SafeStrap TWRP to install.

The installer and uninstaller can be downloaded from here: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=293001

The files should be copied to the sdcard. The installer zip will replace the SystemUI with a modded SystemUI and install the 3MinitBatteryResources.apk.

You will need to manually download and install the 3MinitBatterySettings.apk from 3Minit.com at http://www.3minit.com/#threehttp://

If you want to revert to stock battery, then flash in SafeStrap the uninstall zip that I supplied, above. It will restore the stock SystemUI and remove the 3MinitBatteryResources.apk.

Enjoy!

I'm probably in the minority here but I still use Package Disabler Pro - but I bought it at the developers website because if you don't, you often have to keep repaying as new versions are released if you buy it from Play store. Issentually it does the same thing as the other deloat utilities here but I find it quick and easy and easy to backup/restore package lists.l

I also run YouTube vanced, I installed the safemod apps, Dolby digital / two speaker fix (quality stuff there), navbar apps (for consistent looking nav and status bar colors or explicitly hidden bars on certain apps), and adlocking. My package Disabler pro is currently disabling approx 120 apps, services, unused fonts, etc. I'm actually okay with the Samsung dialer, contact list, etc otherwise I'd be probably disabling 160ish items.

Might try out that battery mod too.
