Okay I'll try it right now. Thank you.

Real quick tho, so having the SD card tray side cracked. Can it affect it? It reads on my file manager etc
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] OneoftheRabble:
It CAN. But if your phone is reading and writing to the card then I would agree with Jrkruse and re-format the card.

NAND chips can develop a kind of "memory" and format will help clear that out.

Take the SD card out of the phone and use an external reader to back up what you want and format the card.

Put your stuff back and put it back in the phone.

Take care,

OOTR
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] Dart_Z28:
Okay so I didn't take it out to format. I just tried formatting through the Device. It now doesn't show I have an SD card lol. So I'll take the card out and reinsert it and see what happens.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] Dart_Z28:
It said UI stopped working lol and it did not format the SD card. I'll pulling out and try else where then put back in formated

If your SD card slot is damaged, you may need to RMA or replace the device.

sorry for dumb question... if i install "SamFail Method That Allows OTA Updates" found in post 2006, would i be able to update my phone with factory update???
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] jrkruse:
Yes but you would need the bootloaders from the factory update if you want to enter safestrap. Thats why I post the updates with odin files of the bootloaders. The updates I post are factory updates. All updates are the same it doesn’t matter what carrier they come from. I will post the CRK1 update later on tonight or tomorrow

hey so I'm still really confused about this whole process. I haven't updated my phone in a month or so and want to do so now.

I have gone through the instructions multiple times, for example, in step 6 of trying it ourselves via update.zip

"6. Use modded Odin and load BL_G955_CRI4_V5.tar, "

I am on CRIB stock right now (flashed it last night and I want to go to CRK1, wouldn't I have to flash BL CRK1 or I flash the old provided CRI4? If so, wouldn't that mean that the BL version remains old? Sorry, I'm just confused.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] OneoftheRabble:
CRJ5 to CRK1 coming Sir?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] jrkruse:
There is no CRJ5 to CRK1 you will have to flash the CRI4 Samfail AP system.img from post 2004 then download the CRI4 to CRK1 updated you can do all this without loosing data
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] OneoftheRabble:
Got it. Thank you.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] GuyInDogSuit:
What's in CRK1?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] jrkruse:
Just the latest posted leaked update. Like all leaked updates it may or may not become the official next update the same with CRJ5. The latest official firmware is for the 4 main carriers is CRIB and one of the smaller ones that has out CRJ2. So it’s like always, decisions decisions!

S8 users I am uploading the latest CRJ2 samfail with v2 bootloaders. I have converted the s8 over to same system as the S8+ so in ota's could be flashed if you are willing to risk it as if something screws up you would be stuck on stock . It will also just work as before and install just as before if interested in doing ota pm for extra files needed. If not just install via OP directions like before. It should be ready in a few hours

Enable developer options by going to settings/about phone/software info and tap on build number seven times this will enable developer settings then in developer settings enable usb debugging open adb command prompt and type

press enter and it will be disabled

Maybe you can't tell if it is actually dual speaker or not because it doesnt actually make it much louder. Try covering the bottom speaker with your thumb and listen to the top one. Also, it will be pretty mono tone without Dolby.

Hey guys. Sooo I had my phone on Oreo with v5 bootloader. I used the root method to go back to nougat in the other thread. Phone started fine. Set it up minimally and then flashed this rom with the instructions provided and now I'm in bootloop hell. When it was supposed to go into recovery and bootloop it just went to the start screen. Now I can't get anything to work and I have no recovery. The only thing I think I did wrong was not enable USB debugging because I couldn't get developer options to open in the rooted nougat rom. I'm not new to flashing but think it's effed up bad. I can get into download mode but now I'm waiting for the the phone battery to die. Help ?

Well I was afraid the battery would be die so I tried to flash back to stock an now and in can't get the phone to boot up anything. I flashed the stock firmware from Sam mobile, tried to do some fix with a combination rom, nothing I can flash seems to be fix it. It bootloops on the boot screen with a dialog of stuff and the download screen has something about a blown fuse and frp lock. I think i just made an expensive mistake. Lol I'm trying to upload pics but it's not working

Thank you for your help. The did try that. I also tried flashing the nougat rooted procedure again. The last thing I did was try to go back to stock oreo from sammobile but it looks like I still have the combination software loaded because in the dialog that I can't get through it says that firmware is installed. Maybe it's my computer ?

When I was initially flashing the oreo rom from this thread, during the part where it said that it would bootloop in recovery and to let it at least once, it never booted to recovery, it just bootlooped the Samsung screen. I will try again when I'm home from work but it seems like the phone just won't flash a recovery. I can't get into any recovery except the maintenance screen. Is there a recovery only that I can flash in Odin?

That will be gone on next boot. The only way to get your full internal storage back is too wipe data. You flashed combo firmware and it sets the data partition size to 16 gigs. Data wipe in stock recovery will fix it

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] raveniselizabeth:

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] jrkruse:
You really need to pay attention to the directions its not a one flash deal to leave safestrap you will end up rebooting to download to use odin 3 different times during the exit process. You dont flash the AP system tar when leaving safestrap.

Everything is running so nice with the mods if use. Thanks for for the all of your work andie help. Quick question, will accepting an official Ota break xposed, dolby, etc? I know I could update with a zip but considering the issues I had with odin I just wanna be safe.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] jrkruse:
You can not take or flash OTA’s if you have all that stuff flashed. I have mentioned before if you are going to flash zips other than my ota friendly you need too make a system.img backup in safestrap then you can just boot too safestrap restore system image then ota can be taken then make a new system.img that has new ota and delete old system.img backup then reflash mods. You can also put the new ota update zip on your external sd card redo the process in post 2006 then when you force reboot to recovery on last step flash ota update zip then. Then from recovery reboot back bootloader flash BL enter safestrap make a system image backup then flash your mods again. Lots of work but its what has to be done
