No this doesn't have the 80% battery charge limit. This is a non rooted rom/mod. It has some great apps.

Are you sure? I'm pretty sure this isn't true, as the only way to get 100% charge is to run the stock boot images which would not boot this at all as /system is modded which causes dm-verity to fail.
@jrkruse can you comment?

This can run on the stock boot image. It was created specifically for it.

This is stock Rom. Just adb mods

Cool, I thought some of these mods required changing /system. Thanks for clarifying.

The first time I opened it, ROM Control said my device isn't rooted. Kinda surprised me.

 

[GuyInDogSuit]

"Fingerprint hardware unavailable." What? Why?

Root

After unbranding your Verizon S8+ to U1 firmware, can you install root by doing SAMPWND Root method? Is it possible?

I want to know, too.

I'd also like to be able to choose what apps are disabled. I need the Samsung Camera back.

Also, Adhell won't enable. Doesn't even try to turn on.

The phone also dropped service twice on me. I had to reboot it the second time to get service back. And it's not just a few seconds, it's almost ten minutes before it reconnects. This happened at home and while I'm at work.

EDIT: Third time. This time I have data service, but I can't make calls. It's "out of service area."

EDIT 2: Today I woke up to find that it wasn't even connecting to data services any more, though I think I fixed it. I flashed back to stock, currently going through setup but my network is connected with 3 bars and a 4G LTE symbol.

No comment on this?

Actually I was thinking, before you were flashing back to stock, did you ever try SAMPWND root or any other method?
Also did it by any chance unlock bootloader since U1 versions have unlocked bootloaders?

No, just went straight back to stock.
Not sure about the bootloader. How would I know if it was unlocked? It's not like LG where it warns you your device is not secure.

U1 do not have unlocked bootloaders. They are sim unlocked which is a completely different thing

Also I don't think they have the userdata image

 

[GuyInDogSuit]

"Userdata" in this case is carrier bloat. Which is why the U1 files don't have one.

When Finished Manually Reboot Phone To Recovery This is tricky I had to hold down buttons to boot to download mode then immediately when phone starts to reboot switch to Bixby+Pwr+VolUp until you see S8 Screen
In recovery wipe data then click Apply Update From ADB

I can't seem to get into recovery mode. When I flashed my phone, the only option that was selected in Odin was "F. Reset Time". After that was complete (Odin says all threads completed successfully), I try to get into Recovery mode by pressing Vol Up + Bixby + Power right after restarting the phone via. Download mode button hold.

But it goes into a loop of "No command" and "Installing System Update". I caught a glimpse of some of the log text at the bottom, and it mainly repeats "E:failed to mount /cache (Invalid argument)", but I assume that's the point of selecting "wipe data" in recovery mode? How do I break out of this? Even if I attempt to go into Download mode and choose restart (regular boot), the same looping occurs. I tried connecting adb for "adb reboot recovery", but it's unable to authorize the device since there's no confirmation dialog.

Please help!

I am running a Rooted G955U1 from VZW under AQDC via elliwigy's method.

It wouldn't matter if you were running a different carrier.

The root progress is very close. They achieved it. Just waiting on release.
