[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] TheGoddessInari:
Love this ROM, was there any reason the shorter CRE2 method didn't get carried over? The "CSC_ADD_CACHE_IMG_KEEP_MODS_SINGLE_FLASH" part where you could replace 3 separate steps with 1. I guess it's minor, but I liked that part.

This ROM is great, though, keeps my carrier from charging extra for caller ID, among other perks. :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] jrkruse:

Does anyone have dolby atmos, viper, james dsp, or any other sound mod working on this?

I just want a good equalizer i can use over bluetooth in my car.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] FatalONEM8:
Is it possible to do the same thing for people on V2 and V3 on S8+? Like N33LP? I think you just have to input those combo files in the BL sections right? I dont think it would be difficult right?

No you can't use those with just a modded system, they require root, if you really need these look into [MENTION=1949695]jrkruse[/MENTION] ROOTED V3 NOUGAT ROM which you may also be able to flash on V4 if he updated it for that also.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] IHAX 420:
I'm on sm-950u so the s8 not plus and I'm on bootloader v2. I had Dolby Atmos on Oreo beta but I wasn't rooted and didn't even have safestrap or Xposed it just came with the update. I didn't know if anyone has ported it. I'm not going back to nougat because of the 80% battery issue and I can't use good lock.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] FatalONEM8:
This update was CRA1 correct? That update didn't have Atmos it was a huge bug. Everyone had it that flashed the update. Like I said you need root to use those drivers. So here I'll link you to the thread where you can find Nougat Rooted ROM. https://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=74467274
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] IHAX 420:
It's not that big of a deal. Its not worth it. I was on the latest party cyborg. I didn't like it. I'll just wait for root on Oreo. I wonder why you need it if you can install viper through safestrap it just won't be enabled. Also there if fire audio that has a root/non root (one of each) but it makes my phone stay on the s8 logo, the one with the Stars.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] FatalONEM8:
Wait what [emoji848] [MENTION=1949695]jrkruse[/MENTION] there's a non root version?

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] FatalONEM8:
Aha, not specifically for the S8, there's the problem. I'll check it out however.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] jrkruse:
Yes I looked at this I don't know how this guy figures this zip wont run without root it has su.d scripts that need root to execute. Busybox cmds that need root so I have no idea why he is calling this a no root audio model. Only thing I can figure is he is running it on kernel without security set to 0 which would allow scripts to run without root but we don't have that option

If i flash my preferred CSC zip (INS )in safe strap, will it stick around after delete cache zip? Need INS for Volte/VoWifi

Thank you.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] jrkruse:
Is it a zip or an Odin file?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] nimms:
Zip file (Odin version is only available for exynos s8+).

Can i extract and make a flashable zip and try?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] jrkruse:
You can extract the zip from cache and either flash with safestap or in stock recovery as csc zips are signed by samsung so they can be flashed like a otaku zip. One question though what format csc is this omc or csc? If its omc you should be fine if its csc then your going to have to delete the omc folder from the phone
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] nimms:
OMC.

Model numbers will be different G955u (snapdr) vs 955f (exyn)

Would that zip from cache go through in stock recovery? (zip named sec_omc.zip)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] zibananafish:
I am upgrading from the S3 (yea, I know, long overdue), and it looks like things have become a lot more complicating these days. I got the S8 Unlocked (G950U1UEU3CRD4) on Oreo; I believe this is the v3 bootloader. I went through the last 30 pages but could not find whether this rom will work on my phone, can someone give me more info?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] nimms:
The first post mentions

"ATTENTION S8 USERS ONLY!!!

S8 FIRMWARES WITH V3 & V4 BOOTLOADERS HAS BEEN PATCHED AGAINST THE SAMFAIL METHOD STAY ON V2 BOOTLOADERS!!"

So, if you are on v3.. you need to wait till there's another method.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] jrkruse:
Yes you can flash in stock recovery. It should work for you
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] Psychlone:
[MENTION=1949695]jrkruse[/MENTION] - had my S8+ 955U for about a year completely stock...first phone since the original D1 that I haven't rooted and there's really been no need, but as a previous CrackFlasher, I'm ITCHING to try this out for no other reason than to get on Oreo AND have a SafeStrap fallback.

My phone is completely stock and still on AQDF with Kernel 4.4.16 and I was wondering if V4 Bootloader is the best option or should I stick with one of the older ones? V3? V2?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] FatalONEM8:
V4 V3 V2 are all safe on S8+, I reccomend staying on V2 if you want the option to go back to stock nougat..
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] Thanatos355:
Given that, is there a way to run CRE9, on the S8+, with either the v1 or v2 BL?

I only mention v1, as I have avoided updating it like the plague. In hopes of one day having someone find an exploit therein that leads to an unlocked state.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] FatalONEM8:
If you can make your own BL files for flashing or [MENTION=1949695]jrkruse[/MENTION] might make some, then yeah you can flash with any bootloader you want.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] jrkruse:
If you want cre9 then update to v4. There is more to it than just changing bootloaders
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] FatalONEM8:
But he wants to stay on V1...isn't that possible?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] Psychlone:
I looked and didn't see any real advantage to CRE9 unless I missed something important.

I'm good on CRC5 and V2 bootloader and the ability to go back if I want. I'm not all about the bleeding edge like I used to be, I prefer stability much more than I used to...

But, I'm done researching and began the flashing process but realized something: There is no Delete Cache bootloader for step 10 in the CRC5 zip. Do I skip this step or do I use the BL_DELETE_CACHE_G955_CRE9_V4.tar from CRE9 that I downloaded?

I'm not doing anything until I hear back. Thanks in advance.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] Slypnslyde:
The bl eng bootloaders g95 step does say success. It's the next step that says success also.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] xdanilva:
Good
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] Slypnslyde:
I thought the system IMG flash step is supposed to say fail. That when you do next to flash Delete cache.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] xdanilva:
It is supposed to say fail I think.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] jrkruse:
5. In odin click rest on bottom. In AP slot in odin flash AP_SYSTEM_IMG_G95*_CRC5.tar

I will after I get off work in the morning, I flashed the stock bootloader back. Let me say that the ap_system_img_g95_crc5 step flashed to quick because the time on Odin says 2 secs. I think I did something wrong
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] jrkruse:
cant flash that with stock bootloaders eng bootloaders have to be flashed in order for system image to flash properly even though it will say fail, as long as your phone reboots it flashed correctly

After doing my due diligence and searching for my issue, I found nothing so now I have to ask.

I can't imagine it's the Rom, no one else is having this issue so it's clearly something I've done...

What would cause "Google account backup service not available" to happen? Same thing with Samsung backup service except it says "prevented by security policy".

I searched online and found a page that said to remove the Google account and re-add it and if that didn't work then to remove Google Drive and reinstall, which also didn't work.

Not running xposed, didn't flash the debloater, haven't used package disabler - the only thing I did was install adhell2 which required setting it as an admin using adb.

Pics so you can see what I mean.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] GuyInDogSuit:
Was it there before Adhell? Maybe Adhell messed with the security policy?

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] jrkruse:
If you take the time and read the OP you will realize this is not factory images for Odin this is a modified version of stock rom. As far as you rom being tmobile what are you expecting it too be? What ever service that your sim card has on it is what the phone will be unless you changed your csc codes. Which by your question I doubt you probably did that so what are your expectations here or what are you trying to accomplish?
