[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] jrkruse:
You said in earlier post you flashed combo the ran reboot to edl bat. Did that run correctly? Did the phone reboot to a black screen? Did you then run the recovery bat?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] xxspokiixx:
Yes, it did rebooted to a black screen and detected as Qualcomm .. then run the bat and waited till said finished and no errors displayed. Then I forced the reboot to download mode.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] jrkruse:
Did it initially boot too download mode after you force. rebooted to download mode or did it never make it
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] xxspokiixx:
Never make it to download mode. Just flashed the white line and went to upload mode.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] jrkruse:
I hate to tell you this but you may need to take your phone apart and manually jump the test point on your phone to force edl mode something glitched or you had bad download of edl or just could be a fluke but manually jumping test point on phone is probably only way to trigger edl mode as something happened to bootloaders somewhere in the flash
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] Faisal 4656:
flash the zero out bootloader files in odin now stuck in edl mode how to fix?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] jrkruse:
Haven’t you already used edl once before. You should not have zeroed the bootloaders because I warn you not to do this if you are not experienced and confident in your computer and your skills. You have to make edl work its your only choice you may have too drain the battery down so phone resets or hold the buttons to reset phone for like 5 minutes but you will probably have to let battery drain
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] jrkruse:
Just an FYI edl method is really not needed on the SM-G955U as you can flash my rescue rom with odin to get safestrap. This method still works on SM-G955U/U1/W so edl method is really not necessary if you have trouble doing it. The rescue rom method can be found on my Verizon S8+ pie thread

After days of battling the edl brick after zeroing out my bootloader, I finally revived my device and now have working root and everything. The recovery.bat either failed right away or hung for hours. What finally got it to work was holding both volume buttons while connecting to my PC, and keeping them held while I ran the recovery.bat and entering the com port. Maybe it was just a fluke that it finally worked, but either way Thanks man.

No it will not work

You would have to deodex the files you want to patch then manually do it and framework files can’t be altered. The ones required for boot anyways can’t be touched. You can mod framework-res apk and the service’s jar. But not framework jar and the others required for boot

Smali patcher works fine on pie + safestrap. Just take the magisk module it creates, extract the services.jar out of the zip. Then delete the service odex/vdex files using safestrap and replace the services jar on the device.

smali only modifies the services jar, so it works fine.

Hey guys, I have a problem I'm hoping someone can help me with.. y'all seem to really, REALLY know your stuff compared to me and as embarrassing as it is for me to ask for it, i do need some help with a possibly hard bricked G955U.

Basically I have no experience rooting anything other than nexus devices, which I had heard were easy to root but good God these sammy's.... anyways I'm not afraid of some hard work and am already quite obsessed with my quest for knowledge.

So here goes: I got phone for cheap. Got past FRP lock.

Used a patched version of Odin to flash a pre "rooted safestrapped" BL file to the BL box, was told to hold button combo as to boot immediately into recovery after Odin flash.

I flashed

Held buttons.....

Phone went black

Doesn't respond to ANYTHING I do to it.

Not recognized by Windows or Linux, Odin.

No recovery

No DL mode

No logo

No boot.

However! If I hold volume down and power for a very long time, the screen flashes very briefly. It's a blank flash, and it lasts a fraction of a second.

There has to be some special software, like real underground/illegal samsung program smuggled out by disgruntled employee I've never heard of.....?

I really want to impress my girlfriend by giving her the phone as a surprise, or at least get the money back..

But mostly I want to fix this thing for the knowledge, experience, and to repair my self esteem. You guys are the pros, so please guys if anyone has any advice or even if you've heard rumors of a potential fix, all I'm looking for is a nudge in the right direction. Thanks y'all!

You most likely will have too take phone apart and jump the test points to put phone into edl mode then you can recover from there unless its a hardware issue which it could be but I have had the same thing happen before and fixed it the way I described. I found everything I needed by lots of google searching. Obviously the edl files I have posted so you just need to google how to take your phone apart and jump the test points people in my threads have successfully done it on all the models so read through and maybe someone can hook you up with pics or just google it. The s8 and s8+ have test points that are located in different locations so make sure you have the correct info

Hey there. I posted quite a while back regarding flashing this stuff and I was finally able to follow the instructions instead of just saying "**** it" and flashing a bunch of random ****. I've broken and had to factory reset the device a couple of times (which is annoying) but I'm honestly surprised I haven't bricked it. With that being said, I still don't quite understand what I'm supposed to be looking for. I managed to upgrade from a V5 to a V6 bootloader (I think) and flash the TWRP mechanism but I'm not quite sure I understand entirely what's going on. I see that there's four ROM partitions available under "Advanced" in the TWRP recovery browser. I've done a full "Nandroid" backup (I think?) by backing up all files manually per both Flashify and TWRP but I do not quite understand how to flash a different ROM. If I understand at least one thing correctly, only Android 7 (Nougat) ROMS are rootable.

I don't expect to be spoonfed here, but if someone could point me in the right direction to learn about how Android/Unix works, I'd really appreciate it. For example - does it matter if I save a .zip on the external SD card and then try to flash it to my current ROM slot? I attempted to flash the "create your own" Nougat .zip file through both TWRP and Flashify, but I got an error code 7. Like I said, if you guys could point me in the right direction to learn about this sort of thing, I'd love to oblige you. I'm a systems administrator for a local IT company but we really only work with Windows operating systems. I had kind of assumed that the fundamentals were the same; maybe I'm overthinking it. Thanks in advance.

For diagnostic purposes, my current setup is as follows:

Model: SM-G955U (ATT)

Android Version: 7.0

Samsung Experience Version: 8.1

Security Patch Level: February 1, 2018

Baseband: G955USQU6DSG7

[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] zfk110:
This phone has locked bootloader which makes harder to learn new things, or do any modification your own, if you want to learn/modify things around then get S5 for tmobile, which is easier to handle since it has unlocked bootloader and you can physically install twrp to do more changes and learn from it.

[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] Matthias5594:
Thanks for the reply. Well, I'm aware of the implications due to the locked bootloader, but I was looking more for some sort of knowledgebase where I could learn about how Android devices boot, load dependencies, etc. My primary objective is to educate myself on those things. I had planned on buying the new Pixel 4, which is why I'm kind of gung-ho about it. I don't care all that much if I turn this phone into a potato. Thanks again.

Im just going on record to say that people that have a SM-G955U and zero out their bootloader and have no clue what to do I am not going to answer post or dm on the subject. My reasons are as follows

1. I warn you and posted many times not too do so if you have no clue what your doing

2. This edl method is not even necessary on the SM-G955U as the odin samfail method still works to flash modded system images and can all be done with odin so then again I refer back to number 1

so, what is solution to fix my phone dude?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] jrkruse:
You need to get edl drivers working on your computer and get your computer to recognize the phone. Then you need to make sure you can properly run a command prompt with your computer basically all stuff that should have been don before zeroing out the bootloaders. You’ll probably have to drain your phone battery as well or take apart and disconnect the battery or you may have to jump test points to enter edl. So wht did you zero the bootloaders is it because you couldn’t get combo firmware to flash or reboot edl to work in adb?
