Right, I am truly baffled why I appear to be the only person that can't get this update to boot., after flashing it's still hanging on the system boot "Samsung Galaxy S8"
...If anyone has any ideas what may be causing this I'm all ears, I really want to update but this issue is really kicking my ass and I seem to be one of the only people with this issue.
I've attached an image of the screen I mean to avoid any confusion with the Android boot screen.
Here's what I would do.
In Odin, either do the process listed elsewhere (see
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s8+/how-to/guide-how-to-flash-crap-using-odin-t3748555 ) to flash CRAP FW or flash back to AQL5.
Flash TWRP via Odin
I'd then try the TWRP flash of the stable CRAP zip and see how you go. (as in DON'T flash the FW update until things are working) I did this because in one of my trials I was getting SystemUI crashes and as I was doing a Restore my MicroSD died nuking all my backups on the card and leaving me with a non-functional phone.
I repaired the card, added back backups from my PC and then started over as above.
A thing I picked up years back - I never let the ROM boot from the 'Reboot Now' screen - I tap No and it goes back to the Install page and completes the process and vibrates. I probably don't have to do it but it was something from the S3 days and I've done it ever since.
If the above doesn't work, try the update from AQL5 to ZRA5 then the update from ZRA5 to CRAP and see if that makes a difference.
Also, what choices are you making in Aroma? Maybe do a run with everything installing - you can always re-run Aroma and change things bit by bit if it works on the complete ROM.
