I had to get a USB 2.0 hub for odin to work. My PC only had 3 & 3.1 ports

You can try odin (v3.13.1) flashing the BL and/or AP from T-Mobile's firmware https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=746163614322275144 (Don't mess with the CP or CSC). If you do that without the nand erase option checked, this should let you boot up and recover user data that's not backed up. worst...

Not sure, it's different for each carrier. I hope you have backups, at least an adb backup. Samsung cloud backup does a decent job too. If you have a recent backup, it might be easier to factory resset, and then restore. If you don't have any backup, you risk losing all your data. You can try...

Which files exactly where you flashing?

That FAIL: 4 > Binary 3 means you need a Firmware with bootloader V4. Once you're on v4, you can't go back to v3. G955USQU4CRE9 is an example of a firmware with BL v4.

FYI: I was coming from Stock 7.0 (rooted, BL v1) to this one (BL v3). After flashing, It would only boot to recovery in a broken loop (not able to factory reset), or DL mode. In order to fix this I had to use Odin 3.13.1 and install stock BL v3 firmware (G955USQU3CRD4), then install this rooted...

The last three pages, just Wow. I hope you all know that CF-Auto-Root doesn't work with a locked bootloader.

what error are you getting? can you sign in with that password on your computer (or anywhere else)? did you recently reset you password?

OK, np. It's for the Exynos version anyways

you need to convert the system.img.ext4 with*simg2img. I deleted those firmware files earlier. But I think it would just be a band-aid. I think there's something wrong with your system software, or it's not correct. It would probably be more stable and better in the long run if you took a TB...

didn't know it was dead. weird it might rename it to just /system/carrier/priv-app/VisualVoicemail/ when you flash CSC (or something)

I'm not on Sprint, but I see the samsung voicemail app in the firmware I just linked to, in /system/priv-app/SecVVM_dream/. do you have a voicemail icon in the bottom left of the stock dialer? I also see the Sprint visual voicemail app in /system/carrier/SPR/priv-app/VisualVoicemail/. So if you...

This question might be more appropriate for this forum section ;) ...but you probably don't have a sprint specific firmware installed

:confused: ...right, I know. you need all the signed elf and mbn files in the BL archive, except non-hlos, for your device to actually use the bootloader. you can try it a different way, or test this if you'd like to. It's either going to take or not. All I'm saying is it doesn't work for me.

Nope, I have an S8+ from AT&T too. I just used the "old part 2" process. Some others on AT&T have use the current process with no problems. Smart Switch doesn't work for me either. I believe that problem is caused by the bootimage/build fingerprint. ---------- Post added at 12:20 ----------...

I can recall this issue has happened to ppl in two situations. Either they didn't use or didn't have "Wipe" first when flashing a system.img with Flashfire, or they used the wrong firmware. There may be other Software related issues that also could cause this. If you're green on those two, then...

Did you skip the "Wipe" step in Flashfire?

Why did you link to my profile? :confused:

:facepalm:

chrome mobile or desktop browser?

You're missing the big picture. If you have kernel level privs, you don't need to run an eng boot.

This also breaks Flashfire ---------- Post added at 21:15 ---------- Previous post was at 21:08 ---------- Blueborne = running code with kernel privs. I can def use this, if the code is ever released...

This thread is deteriorating fast....

IDK, this is my first Samsung phone. apparently sammy makes it difficult and secure for US versions. maybe to appease enterprise users? HTC makes it super easy. can't wait to see what google does with them...

It's a real 80%. I thought it was a fake 80% at first too. The boot img leads you to believe that it gets down scaled to 8/10. But after some testing between stock and eng boot, I've come to the conclusion that it actually gets capped at 80. stock boot will charge to 100%. Eng boot just stops...

Nope, you should be good

Anybody with a Bluetooth Dongle/integrated board want to try this? https://github.com/ojasookert/CVE-2017-0785 what we really need is 0781/2 If you don't what this is, or what BlueBorne is, don't worry about it.

I think it's the battery and/or battery-manager service that's the problem.

Possibly, if it's a corrupt install or something. you could test it by doing just a FF wipe. you'll definitely know if it works or not. I'm just not sure if you'll keep root. you could create a flashable zip (for FF) to do the wiping for you. I would give the options in my last post a try...

IDK dude, you keep having modem crashed no matter what you do. are you sure you're using the right system firmware? Maybe you have a hardware problem, or you're doing something funky. Do you still have this problem if you go back to fresh stock? If you're stable on fresh stock firmware, then try...

I don't think you need the modem or hlos, but yeah it should be good either way.

That an option too, albeit a little more difficult. extract your system.img.ext4 file from AP firmware, copy to phone. if you don't have it, it's probably on androidfilehost somewhere. then use FF with wipe first, then system.img.ext4 (as firmware), then SU (as zip) check system rw, same thing...

Yup, should've wiped. that'd be the cause of your issues. So you ended up installing a stock system on top of an eng system. If you redo part 2 verbatim, that should fix your system issues.

You've probably got double system app(s)/file(s) somewhere. Was wipe at the top of your Flashfire list, when you did part 2? Do you have any duplicates in your Titanium (or similar) app list? You could dig through your logs to find the culprit, but it might be worth (or easier) just starting...

This works on all S8+ manufactured for the US. It'll most likely be model SM-G955U. If your bought if from your carrier, they're all basically the same, no matter which carrier. So yes, this works on AT&T, Verizon, Sprint, T-Mobile, etc. as long as it matches the model in the op. This is model...

ota downloads to /data/fota

others and I have already tried messing around in the area. The only way I've been able to charge to 100% is through user boot (stock). But that's enforcing, and doesn't allow you to do anything above user privs. The only way I see forward is with an exploit (broadpwn, blueborne, etc.), in order...

Sounds like you have old or slow computer. Usually takes a minute to verify the md5. You can try opening the AP file with regular Odin, step away, and come back in 5 minutes. If it's still frozen up after 5mins, you can try retarring it with 7-zip or the like. There's a few different ways to...

I just tried this older version and it doesn't crash. Tried new version and it freezes up. You report it to the developer for a fix.

If you have something that hasn't been talked about here (use search), feel free to share

So this safestrap half works on our rooted system. It will give you the boot up option, by won't actually boot to anything. anybody good at compiling twrp? You should definitely take a full flashfire backup before playing with this though.

Great job wildermjs8 - thanks for the upload ?????

I'm running AQG3 BL and AQGL non-hlos with no problems whatsoever

That's what I meant, those should fix problems with modem partition. If that doesn't work, you should try a complete fresh install. ...but what?

delete

You said I was asking if you're able to get around the "Secure Check Fail" error, when trying to flash a custom tar.md5 rom file in Odin?

Nope this is just stock system.img with some bloat removed, su & busybox installed. No tweaks or mods, just the system firmware I'm running.

Yeah, that would be great. Here's my rom with su and busybox already installed:*https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=889764386195927939 And you can create Odin tar.md5 files that get "Secure Check Failed", when trying to flash with Odin?
