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?

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.

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.

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

Click to collapse

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.

    [DISCONTINUED][ROM][MOD] S8+_U1_Unbranded_Rom_PlayStore_Addon_Mods_ADB & Odin_Install

    THE FIRMWARE IN THIS OP IS FOR VERZIZON S8+ ONLY
    The PlayStore Nougat Mods Zip Or The S8 Nougat Mods Zip Can Be Used On Any Carrier    ​
    This involves some knowledge of using odin and adb if you do not how to use these please read up before attempting this as this thread is not going to be a how to use odin/adb thread​

    How I Achieved This If You Want The Technical Stuff
    I found that Older CSC zips pulled from the cache.img of the S7 model phone will install using adb sideload.
    I dont flash a S8 CSC file in odin because this contains the carrier stuff
    I have to flash 2 different csc files from the S7. The first one flashes the correct stuff to blacklist unwanted other carrier Apps and install vital verizon apps. But the first csc zip blocks samsung cloud so by flashing the second csc zip which is from S7 MM firmware Samsung cloud was not blocked then. Finally the 3_Install.bat zip removes unwanted carrier files that cause problems with verizon VoLTE.

    Mine hung at checking network settings so I reflashed everything and it worked again.
    Is there a more pico approach that only has the google play store framework and nothing else google (i.e. chrome, drive, etc.)

    Download package disabler and disable What you don't want. There is no way to permanently get rid of the stuff without root. All my install is doing is disabling stuff. It's all still there.
