Backup with safestrap. And just flash the CRE9 AP, install back your zips and stuff. Use the WIPE_CACHE CSC, not the WIPE_DATA CSC.

Finally got around to try and update, but none of the BL files are flashing in Odin. Im on CRD4 right now. I did not wanna flash anything else for fear of it causing issues and needing a full wipe. Is it because I'm on V3 bootloader? Odin tries to setup connection but then fails to flash anything. My phone does show up on the devices list.

If you are on v3 bootloaders there us no reason not to update to v4 and flash cre9 that's in the OP

Xposed zip and Google apps , but I flash both in safetrap
And I have all my data now.
Just don't forget on the step 18 flash CSC_ADD_CACHE_IMG_WIPE_CACHE.tar to preserve data

Hi,

Have been using this ROM for some time now and love it. Last couple of weeks sometimes I of the video calling apps like Duo or Skype doesn't provide enough volume from speaker. Speaker volume is fine when calling via phone, just other apps. Had anyone had this issue. I tried reinstalling the ROM with data reset, still not fixed. Any suggestion before I try data wipe?
Thanks in advance.

If the stock EQ settings don't help, download precise volume from the Play Store it has a volume booster, I've been using it and it works great

Backing up data on the wifes s8 right now. We're going camping tomorrow but fortunately I still have one week left at my job which enabled me a ton of free time to do all these mods so I'll install this first thing 3am on Monday. Wife is using my S7 right now.
I'm so excited, the S8 is still on CRB9 with v2 bootloader. Stupid ota that gave me bootloop was forced to factory reset. So thankful that i was able to anticipate bootloader updates by simply using adhell and my samsung sdk license (expires tomorrow) to simply disable software packages. I will use the debloat script to just remove it altogether when i install this.

Can anyone confirm with certainty if V5 bootloader patched SamFail? I mindlessly installed CRF5 after it said an update was available then realized it upgraded the bl version. I would really like to use this ROM if it's still possible, also odin files have been released for CRF5.

Yes but combo firmware for s8+ has not been released so there is no way too test but it's probably a good bet your flashing samfail images are over but time will tell

    S8+ Uses If You Do Not Have Safestrap Installed And Are On Any Version Bootloader Through Latest V8 Bootloader Follow These Direction
    ​
    **************************************​

    Instructions For Installing Pie Roms​
    Please Note This Is Not A Root Method For Oreo Or Pie. As Of Now There Is Still No Root Method For Oreo Or Pie. This Takes Some Patience To Install​
    S8+ SM-G955U/U1/W Install Instructions And Files
    If you didnt upgrade to V8 bootloaders using odin. I recommend flashing full stock firmware with V8 bootloaders even if you are already on V8 bootloader via OTA update. I feel that maybe something in the OTA from V7 bootloaders to V8 may have corrupted a bootloader file and some people have experienced bricks with trying to update to V8 bootloaders from V7 using the below method so I recommend flashing full stock V8 firmware in Odin before trying this method and just understand there has been a risk of bricking device. Full stock can be found on Sammobile or updato or any other service you can find it. You will have to reroot of course. If you Updated to V8 bootloaders using odin method already then no need to do so again

    Download

    If on blue screen you get the No Command(Click For Pic) title instead of the Error(Click For Pic) title instead of the Error(Click For Pic) title on the blue screen then let phone bootloop a couple of times until you get that error. If after several bootloops still no error force a reboot of phone and let it try again. If still after several attempts reboot to download mode and In odin load BL_ENG_BOOTLOADERS_SAFESTRAP_G95*U_V*.tar.md5 in BL slot and flash. Phone reboot to stock recovery there wipe cache and reboot back to bootloader from recovery and go back and start again from step 8 You cannot move on until you get that error screen​

    7. Ok once you have the error and phone bootlooped after the error and you forced rebooted to download. In odin load BL_G95*USQU5CS**tar.md5 in BL slot and HOME_CSC_OYN_G95*U*****tar.md5 in CSC slot and flash

    8. Phone will reboot to recovery and process cache then your ready to flash an OTA update zip in stock recovery.

    9. It should then process csc fine this time and from recovery phone should reboot automatically. If for some reason this still fails start from Step 5 again.


    Old Instructions To Enter And Exit Safestrap

    ON THESE STEPS ONLY FLASH FILES FOUND IN THE ENTER_EXIT_SAFESTRAP FOLDER

    1. Before leaving Safestrap wipe cache and dalvik cache then leave safestrap and put phone in download mode. From the ENTER_EXIT_SAFESTRAP folder flash BL_ENG_BOOTLOADERS_SAFESTRAP_G95*U_V*.tar.md5 in BL Slot in odin

    2. To leave safestrap reboot to bootloader or download still does not work so you still need to manually reboot to bootloader

    3. Use modded Odin and load BL_DELETE_CACHE_G95*_V*_BL.tar.md5 In BL Slot and flash

    4. Phone will reboot to recovery it will try and process update then on blue screen you get an Error(Click For Pic) and recovery will start rebooting let recovery bootloop once then force back to download mode and goto step 5
    If on blue screen you get the No Command(Click For Pic) title instead of the Error(Click For Pic) title instead of the Error(Click For Pic) title on the blue screen then let phone bootloop and force back to download
    mode and In odin load BL_ENG_BOOTLOADERS_SAFESTRAP_G95*U_V*.tar.md5 in BL slot and flash. Phone reboot to stock recovery there wipe cache and reboot back to bootloader from recovery and goback and start again from step 3    ​


    5. Flash BL_ENG_BOOTLOADERS_SAFESTRAP_G95*U_V*.tar[.md5/COLOR] in odin phone will reboot to recovery

    6. In recovery wipe cache then from recovery reboot to bootloader

    7. Use modded Odin and load BL_G95*_CS**_V*.tar.md5 In BL Slot, AP_CR**.tar(This is the file you will get from the OTA_Update_Zips) in AP Slot and flash (Or file you created from update zip or leave AP slot blank if you didn't update via OTA

    9. If you get the No Command(Click For Pic) and it says successfully verified dmverity hashtree(It may not say this until you click reboot system) (Click For Pic)
    Wipe cache in recovery then reboot and you are done unless below statement refers to you then follow then skip cache wipe and reboot and follow below.

    If you came to these instructions because you were directed to do so during install because you installed SM_955_U_Mods_Safe_OTA_PIE.zip during initial install then you will need to flash the BL_G95*USQS5****tar.md5 found in the Samfail Install Files folder so in recovery click reboot bootloader and in odin BL slot flash BL_G95*USQS5****tar.md5. This file only needs to be flashed once so next time you leave safestrap you can skip this and stop at above step​

    SM_955_Mods_Safestrap_PIE.zip

    View attachment Adaway_Blocking_No_Root_Pie.zip
    Install zip in safestrap
    boot phone back up to system
    you will have 2 apps in your apps drawer Host Adblocking and Stock Adblocking
    too enable adblocking run the Host Adblocking app it may require rebooting phone to work
    too disable adblocking run Stock Adblocking this probably will not require a reboot
    what this does is move the system/etc/hosts file to the internal storage of your phone then I symliink the one in the internal storage to the system/etc/host file this way the file can be changed back and forth . If you would wipe data in stock recovery however you would need to reflash the zip in safetrap as a data wipe would delete the host file since it is now located on internal storage

    I would like to say thank you to all the people that donated money to me in 2018. What I did was save the money over the year which added up to be a little over 200 dollars. I took that money and order 30 pizzas and had them delivered to my local homeless shelter. So thank you for allowing me too help out some people in need

    Well spelling is not my strong point. Between my roms I have thousands of downloads so I guess all those thousands of people never got my rom to install so my suggestion to you is use someone else's rom or stay stock that will save you alot of problems.
