Op cleaned up a little bit added a google go apps zip for google go apps to use with google rom. This is not a flashable zip you simple extract the zip and copy the apks to your phone and install or use adb to install them if you so wish or download them from playstore. this zip contains the apps that the playstore will not let you install like go gmail.

Working a zip that will move csc files to internal storage allowing you to edit them as you wish without using safestrap kinda the same way my adblocking zip works by resymlinking the files. I will upload it when finished

Here is a zip that adds host ad blocking and moves the cscfeature.xml file from the system/omc folder to your internal storage/.omc folder which allows you to edit your csc features xml without root or without having to boot to safestrap (you do have to boot to safestrap to flash the zip however) . You simply edit the csc file in internal storage .omc/VZW folder if your carrier is for example verizon then reboot and your changes are there. The host ad blocking is the same one I have in Post 2 its just included in this zip as well. How this works is this zip symlinks the files on your internal storage to the system files which allows the files to be edited. Of course if you did a factory reset in stock recovery you would need to reflash the zip again for stuff to work, To remove these symlinks you would need to reflash the system image in safestrap. The ad blocking is explained in post 2

a question is in the last part, but before I get to it I must say the following: For many years now I've been jealous of the Exynos variants such as the S series, versus the snapdragons. the F-society (Mr robot reference) always had it easy to have a custom ROMs since they could unlock the bootloader. It is the first time I can say that your work has surpassed the recent security features on Exynos. Although I am Canadian which you can probably tell by my accent, I have multiple phones but my main ones have always been the 950u and the 955u.

These were limited to your work (and associates) in contributing expertise you all delivered. The recent security patch on the Exynos 9.0 (v7 or so July 1, 2019) disables the ability to flash any Non-Stock (official) firmware [KG-RMM] (bootloader unlock is irrelevant). This applies to multiple models series (a530, a050, note, etc). You cannot flash TWRP you're stuck in a pre normal State permanently. Official Samsung only and as you know you can roll back binaries. This is an FYI letting you know that your work has not gone as a Band-Aid. you have now made snapdragons mod-superior to the current f series. This is my finding so far.

I installed-safestrap the Google system file on my 955u last night and this is exactly what I was looking for! I don't need Samsung apps to shove down my throat. Thank you for this immensely times 1000. now for my question: Are you planning to release a V6 google system image for the 950u?

After a week of the going back and forth and flashing I was able to get the Google Rom on and love that you have this for one of my old phones. Thank you. It works great and clean. But my issue is I can't get back into safe strap to flash. How can I get there again? I thought it was built into the Rom but I only get to the factory recovery.

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

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] Slim2none4u:
I don't believe there is a key combo to get into safestrap. I believe it's a matter of flashing certain files properly and in the proper order.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] sportytony:
So it will only do it on first installation? The Rom says it has it built in though? And if I boot it loading the safe strap file through Odin won't it eliminate the Google system I installed through Odin flash?

Hi [MENTION=1949695]jrkruse[/MENTION],

I am on the Credo network (Sprint). I can briefly get the phone to work if I manually enter the APN values. However they don't stay active. It shows LTE in the status bar but the phone and MMS/SMS don't work.

Everyhing works fine on the stock 7DSL3 firmware. What packages should I reinstall from the stock using TWRP to manually put the needed packages in?

In order for me to be able to use a different phone app other than stock I have to first set preferred phone app to default, and calling app to no. Then I have to go to app info and set the stock calling app to yes. If I don't do exactly that then I'm unable to hang up or see the number that I dialed.

Can't manually remount system after performing TWRP backup

Hi @jrkruse,

For some unknown reason I cannot get the system to mount in TWRP either manually in the terminal in TWRP using mount /system or mount -f /system

I have also tried flashing the rescue version of the safestrap tar but it still shows the 4.10 and not the old version of safestrap. As a result all of the install attempts of zips fail saying that the system can not be mounted because the resource is busy.

What should I do to fix this?

I am using your V7 DSL3 system.

Awesome! I am definitely looking forward to it. I went back to stock and Verizon pushed an OTA (G955USQS7DTA6) with the February 1st patch, but its stock so it pails in comparison to your rom.

Hi! My bootloader is V7, I follow every step of the post, and I can start rooted nogat with safestrap installed.

The problem begins with the installation of system.img, I follow every step carefully:

Make Sure The Latest Samsung Drivers Are Installed. They Can Be Found Here

1. Copy **** _ SYSTEM.img to your internal sdcard. Reboot to download mode and in BL slot in Odin flash [COLOR = "blue"] Use The BL_ENG_BOOTLOADERS_SAFESTRAP_G95 * U_V * .tar.md5 and reboot to safestrap

2. In Safestrap choose install then choose select storage and select internal storage click ok then at bottom choose install image and choose **** _ SYSTEM.img then select flash to system image then swype to flash

3. You can flash any mod zips at this time

4. To leave safestrap reboot to bootloader or download still does not work so you still need to manually reboot to bootloader so choose reboot as soon as phone powers off hold buttons to boot too download mode

5. In odin load BL_G95 * USQU5 **** tar.md5 in BL slot and flash.

After step 5 the device restarts and automatically enters SafeStrap TWRP, and it does not go away, I tried everything including flash HOME_CSC and CSC official!

Please help me to be able to start System.img for bootloader V7?

Hello! So I've completed all steps and have safestrap installed with the custom PIE rom now. This is my first time rooting with such an intricate method, so I don't want to do anything that'll screw me over. I know that there isn't a rooted PIE or OREO rom yet, so from here, is there a way for me to install an older rooted rom that already has SuperSU and working Google Play Store, assuming I did everything in your instructions correctly? Or if you could direct me to a link to follow instructions for, that'd be appreciated.
