[DISCONTINUED][ROM]G955W_SnapDragon_Rooted_Slightly_Debloated_Canadia n_Variants

[jrkruse]

Your phone needs to be rooted before installing this rom. Root for te S8+ can be found here Thanks @elliwigy and all who made it happen

This will be a rom with system root so magisk or supersu hide or any root checking apps will not work


Download

AP_G955WVLS1AQH1.zip
ADD_CSC_FEATURES_SYSTEMROOT_CANADA.zip


Instructions

Unzip AP_G955WVLS1AQH1.zip and copy AP_G955WVLS1AQH1.tar to your internal storage
Copy ADD_CSC_FEATURES_SYSTEMROOT.zip to your internal or sd card
Open Flashfire choose add zip choose ADD_CSC_FEATURES_SYSTEMROOT.zip and choose to mount system
Choose add firmware and choose AP_G955WVLS1AQH1.tar select all three partitions and allow processing of cache
Choose add wipe and select System data, 3rd party apps, Dalvik cache, Cache partiton, Cache Partiton format
Move this wipe to the top so its the first thing flashfire does
Make sure inject supersu is not checked
Make sure the flash order is Wipe, AP_G955WVLS1AQH1.tar, Process Cache then ADD_CSC_FEATURES_SYSTEMROOT.zip

To get SnapChat working click disable supersu in the supersu app settings
Reboot Phone Install SnapChat
Enable supersu.
If this fails go down to reinstall in settings and click
Flashfire should now work and reflash this SuperSU_2.82_SR3_System_Root_Only.zip

Due to the fact in the OP it says your phone has to be rooted before you can use this ROM, no. Most you should normally charge to is 80%.

The same charging bug still is present. I just through this up obviously I can't test this rom on your phone as I have Verizon model. I tested it on my phone but I used US csc codes so I really don't know how it will react on your phone. That being said I may not be able to answer connectivity issues and such. If anyone finds any issues using csc mods zip. You can always just flash the AP file and just use the supersu zip in the op in place of the Add csc root zip. This will give you a totally stock rooted Rom no tweaks or mods

Yes it does work on my stock rom. It also worked in the rom that was in this post https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=73489978&postcount=925

So we follow the instructions on the original post here linking to the g55u root, finish that, then come flash this ROM?

Does this ROM break Android Pay? Also any suggestions to make the backup/restore process simple pre -,> post flashing rom?

 

[jrkruse]

I dont think my CSC mods were working so Here is a new zip to try
ADD_CSC_FEATURES_SYSTEMROOT_CANADA.zip
Follow same directions in OP just use this zip

Can it work with stock kernel?

 

[partcyborg]

Can it work with stock kernel?

Ok now I am very curious! What custom kernel you are running on a Canadian snapdragon with a locked bootloader?

No

He is not running a custom kernel he is running the kernel from the combination firmware which is a stock permissive kernel for engineering purposes.

No

Awesome can't get root access can't reflash with flashfire because of no root access so I can't even try to reflash and can't go back to the other rooted rom so I have to go back to stock and start all over again. Great
