INSTALATION GUIDE
FlashFire Method
This is the method I chose to use, it works very well but you must have root to run FlashFire!
1. Download the rom
2. Move rom to SD card (anywhere is fine)
3. Open FlashFire
4. Choose action "Backup" (I would personally do a backup through TWRP but it's up to you).
5. Add action "Wipe" and wipe all but your internal storage.
6. Add action "Flash Zip Update or OTA" and find the rom zip.
7. Make sure Everoot is disabled
8. Chose reboot to recovery and its up to you if you want to preserve recovery, I left this option ticked
9. Click the little lightning symbol in the bottom left corner Happy Flashing!
REMEMBER TO HAVE YOUR ACTIONS SET IN ORDER!!!! 1. BACKUP (optional) 2. WIPE 3. FLASH ZIP 4. REBOOT SYSTEM
Get TWRP for this device HERE - It's actually for SM-S820L (Straight Talk) but I CONFIRM that this works for our model.
TWRP Method
1. Download Rom
2. Place Rom on External SD
3. Reboot to recovery
4. Do a backup
5. Go back choose advanced wipe. I usually wipe everything except internal storage and my sdcard. Be sure to wipe dalvik, system, cache and data.
6. Once that is done go back and find the Install option. Select the G360P ROM you just downloaded and swipe to install.
7. Reboot to system!
It will take a little while on first boot. Just be patient! If it has been more than 5 minutes try flashing again. If it still doesnt work, come to the thread and ask for help.

Nice to actually see our prevail lte for boost mobile on an xda forum. Now I know where my rom actually comes from , paid dude on fiverr.com to root my phone and he came back with rom with same features. I am currently doing research to modify certain properties to speed up data intake and prevent throttling and restrictions. I am going to throw this rom onto my dummy/test prevail and decompile and edit certain system apps/proceasea , so whatever sucess I have will be shared here or via PM. Any mods you have done to improve performance or bypass restrictions I would love to know. Thanks again man , appreciate these steps towards freedom. PM me for mods I have made or if you want me to test something for this phone since I have two sm-g360p's.
Update im discontinuing all development of prevail, buying an LG Stylo 2 or S7 depending how deep pockets are. Ardwill thanks for initial rom. I got lost in sauce and made some mistakes , when and if i get dialout to work i will continue my workaround project. might of ben a Efs improper backup or lack thereof but You are in good hands with Ardwill. Always keep first TWRP backup even after benchmarked

Good luck putting the pj2 together in the same way, I remember I had to us goingl e Kingo desktop, but since you aren't to be doing it like that ..IE systemless root I assume , you could have a hard time. I did for some reason find modifying the pj2 ROM made it unstable, probably the root method but ya man Let me know when you do bro cuz I definitely did remember it having a better athstetic look when I had that Ron via the. Also if you find an upgraded version of TWRP (2.8.70) throw my way. Thanks again.

Thanks for the feedback. Here is PJ2. It is in Aroma installer. In my experience, flashing through TWRP freezes up. So use the Flashfire install method instead. I haven't tested this yet so please let me know what happens and what you think. Any questions, please feel free to ask, I will get back to you as soon as I can. As of now, I have no updated version of TWRP but I will continue to look in my free time.
For some reason cant get it to flaashfire twrp flash , either way no install brother, if you could pull off finding mms/phone fix or prl/profile update zip would be killer im on the old stock ziplignef deodexed rom still and i must of mest up a TWRP recovery cuz all i get is data,, next phonr def. Using log reports. idk if ye md5 dont match or i gotta download the ape2 first. Hopefully ge ape2 update allow install since it we kinda skipped that update which was between the apj2 amd aoh1.
Update gixed phone dialingout bug , was a problem with the radio being set to LTE/GSM , as we all know boost and sprint are CDMA so i turbed off ims registration , switched to LTE/CDMA/GSM. No option to leave off gsm
Then refreshed where it says refresh/update hit refresh , you should sé ur phone number, mine was missing. Ie. My problem. This done from radio ping testing screen, i used Radio Network Reset on playstore/aptoide. Shortcutmaster lite honorable mention. So no pob with your first AOH1 based rom.

Thanks for the feedback. I'm going to pull the pj2 version down. I bet if you took a stock boot.img it would work just fine but im kind of stuck right now, my pc crashed so I'm unable to do anything right now. You should grab the stock pj2 file and Odin it to your phone. Run all the system updates and such. Update prl and all that jazz. That's what I'm running right now. You'll have to re flash twrp, reroot. I'll keep you updated as soon as im able to do something. Thanks again

Hey no problem, ya I still have so much put into your first ROM that I probably won't get PJ2. Might back it up and install it then try to install it, so if it works to flash if you're already running pj2 so we can have root deodexed ROM then I'll pm you so that you can put it back up or I'll do so with you as credits obviously. But ya take it down for now because I flashed to stock aoh1 ,and my modded version and it didn't work. Also I appreciate it man, couldn't of got all this out of my core prime(aka Pre LTE) if it wasn't for your base ROM! GS Man !
Thank you so very very very much for this rom.. I've really been waiting for someone to do something with this device, and broke my J7 at Christmas, so I'm back on the doles again only to find someone finally made one.. HAH!! Namaste and Bona Fortuna with the PJ2.. I'll give that one a shot when it is out again and stable.. My phone already runs faster and even cooler..
Namaste...

Hey, @Doctur, how are you? I was wondering if you ever fixed your phone and if a firmware flash didn't fix it, because it includes the modem. If you haven't tried it, I made a modem zip that might help and you wouldn't have to flash a whole firmware.

I appreciate it but I own a different device and it's currently being worked on. Thanks tho.
I know that there is a recovery already but as I write this I'm building on Omni 4.4 a recovery from source code. I have the phone but it's for Qlink services.
Edit: it didn't work.
Not working
I tried flashing this via the Flashfire method. It didn't work, it reboots and gets stuck on the Samsung logo.
Dunno what I did wrong, if I missed a step, or maybe something else I did broke the flashing ability.
Hope someone can help.

You have to go to download mode and then use Odin to flash. Unfortunately this does not root the T285.

Hi,
Anyone tried Pokemon Go update 0.37 with this ROM? The update fails to start for me. It prompts device/os version is incompatible.
I reverted back to version 0.35 and it works fine.

Yeah the newest version checks for xposed and a bunch of other things. Actually a lot of people were pissed that they did this. You'd probably need to revert back to stock if you want to play. Only systemless root and xposed with magisk works for Pokemon go now.

Also if you want more details on what is going on search google for "pokemon go safetynet". Basically most custom roms and not just this device should fail the test.

Hello and thank you for your work with this device. Currently I am looking for a bypass for the factory reset protection on my sm t280. I have flashed the stock md5 file 3+ times attempting to do a complete data wipe and reset, and this doesnt remove the lock. Any ideas?

To FRP unlock you have to go to developer settings and switch oem unlock to false. The stock rom should have it unless you are using a carrier locked version that I a! not aware of.

FRP is specifically designed to prevent flashing if you can't login to the device. You won't be able to flash unless the person has turned off oem unlock beforehand. I am not aware of any method to bypass this on this device.
Also the T280 and T285 have slightly different hardware so using a different recovery image is not recommended. Also since both devices have a locked bootloader, I highly doubt you can even change the recoveries from stock as I would imagine samsung using different keys for both. At the worst case it still always possible to reflash them back to stock if you do want to try

And thank you so much for selling it. I don't speak enough Spanish to make the ordeal of getting one of the T285M's from so america worthwhile. I was planning on sticking with my T239M for awhile, then I saw your T285M on ebay.
I've dirty flashed jedld's T285 debloated rom, then dirty flashed his T285 tinker rom on top of that. Both onto my T285M. Working flawlessly. Wished he'd kept the mail app, but without touchwiz I guess that wasn't possible.
Something else they blocked in the kernel or with SElinux on the T285M is screen mirroring. Can only cast directly from apps.
Still I am happy overall. Now looking for a castrated version of daemonsu!

Now my contact in S. America will not even reply to me
Contemplating on getting the Samsung J max 7.0 dual sim...yes no U.S lte but has an 8mp camera and a flash...similar to the T285 otherwise...can't say how many times I needed the flash for photos or even if for looking at labels peering into dim areas behind a monitor or tv..maybe end up in same pickle of no root...will see (number is SM-T285YD so it is based off the T285 it seems-maybe a Latin American version soon?)
Also trying to get the T705M from another source but taking forever...low hopes think it will come through

got another one - white color ...as a gift...God Bless - great device battery life is just incredible - nothing fancy but does its job...keeping this one (had it since early November) gave up on the 705m
Is this ROM compatible with Google Safetynet? I can't seem to log into Pokemon GO since I installed Tinker edition, so I'm thinking to switch to this one instead.
Haven't tried it but it should work.
Is the root part contained in boot.img or in system.img? In other words, when using Heimdall I should flash both system.img and boot.img, isn't it?
I'm getting bootloops with CM13, Omni and I don't know how I got Tinker working, I kind of remember flashing boot.img, then wiping, then flashing system.img, then wiping again.
EDIT: got this one working too by flashing boot.img (Heimdall complains it cannot receive confirmation msg) reboot into download again, then flashing system.img (this time heimdall does reboot the phone). however, pokemon go still wont connect due to google's safetynet compliance.
I'll try flashing recovery in case it is TWRP the one clashing with Safetynet.
PD: I didn't backup stock at the beggining of the process so I'm pretty much screwed with Pokemon until I can afford a new phone. But if someone has a stock ROM for T285MUBU0API2, please ping me.
EDIT2 Got pokemon working. I reinstalled TWRP (this ROM's recovery is the stock one, of course), then flashed unSU. It removed SuperSU binary and Google SafeNet got working again. I can't believe that, after so much hours I've put into finding the best custom ROM for this crappy phone, 95% of the time was spent in trying to get Pokemon GO running. I'm close to 40, FML.
Hey guys I was able to take the time slooooowly download Stock firmware for our Prevail. Practically no support to this phone at all, but I've been working to change that as best I can. I am learning the ropes of ROM building and I have been able to make use of ASSSAYED Kitchen v.110 (Now upgraded to v1.20).
For those of you who don't know:
Odin tutorial
**DO AN ADVANCED WIPE IN TWRP BEFORE FLASHING. EVERYTHING EXCEPT THE EXTERNAL SD CARD**
Download Samsung USB Drivers (Go to this xda thread here).
Download Odin (Get it here) Extract to Desktop (Or wherever)
Download firmware to desktop (It's in .zip format and you can find it here). Extract .zip file to odin folder (again, or wherever). Extraction should yield G360PVPU2APJ2_G360PSPT2APJ2_G360PVPU2APJ2_HOME.tar
Right click Odin 3.10.6 and click on "run as administrator".
Click on AP and find the extracted ROM. Open it and it will take a minute to load in to Odin...Now make sure the 'Auto Reboot and F. reset time options are ticked and nothing else.
Make sure to be using a quality USB cord. Odin will recognize your phone being plugged in. It will say COM port number in the top left hand corner and added or removed will be in the log window. Once you are ready begin the flash press start.
Relax, It will take about 10 minutes to do it's thing. After the long agonizing initial boot process, you will be back to stock firmware PJ2 for SM-G360P
Hope it helps! So far there is no lollipop for our phone. Click here to check out all my uploads for this device. So far I have a TWRP port that actually works. (Must flash through Odin) an a Stock rooted deodexed busyboxed zipaligned rom of this firmware (Thanks to ASSAYYED Kitchen).

I flashed this back to my device in attempt to go stock but system status is still set to Custom just so everyone is aware. Not sure if it could be an error on my part.
just wanted to say thanks i have 2 of these phones 1 use for mp3 player/ play phone and the other my daughter has to use. ive tried a ton of twrps for this and everyone broke recovery. im dl ing the twrp and the rom you posted. ya there is no development on this phone at all. ive tried almost every rom i could to get it to lollipop with no luck. im going to try to get the theme store and the launcher swapped out with an updated version.. n5 s7 any is fine i just want to get it updated lol. ill play with it tonight and let you know how it goes. i appreciate the effort your putting in to this. i dont even have service to them i have a stubborn s7 that refuses to get rooted. i had no prob with the note7 but idk if i have some updated version of s7 but i cannot obtain full root. i need to have my audio mods at least. i have a good one with beats, dolby atomos and viper im going to try on the 360 as well. let me know if you would like the file. after i check if it works on this on that is.
Please stay tuned. Upgrading this thread to the most recent PJ2 firmware.
Thread updated to PJ2 firmware. I can confirm this will make your device status 'Official'.
Thank you!
I just wanted to say:
Thank you so much mate! An amazing job here, I had a broken rom on this device, and thanks to your PJ2 build; I now have a fully working device again!
Fixed the play store, play services, and all the ads and junk on this Textfree branded device (PE2 firmware confirmed). keep up the great work!
Thanks for posting this! I see your other files, would you mind going in more detail how to install the stock rooted deodexed version of this rom? How do you recommend unlocking the bootloader to install TWRP or can we just simply flash it with ODIN then install the stock rooted rom? Thanks!
EDIT: according to this forum looks like you just flash it. Do you recommend your 2.87 over the 3.02?

Awesome, thanks for keeping support alive for this phone!
I'd really like a custom rom for this phone i have to restart at least once a day or this ROM becomes unusably slow.. I mean atleast CM11
Hello. I'm Dave. I just got this phone (G360P Prevail LTE) and I'm pretty excited about it because it could sure use some stuff and I'm new to development and ROM porting. My goal is to bring great ROMs to the lower end phones that are sometimes forgotten in development. Right now I only have one good port under my belt, but it's a great one...PAC 5.1.1 for the ZTE Zmax Z970. Unfortunately, I used device and kernel trees that were already put together by another developer, so I'm not completely sure how to get started on putting trees together for this one. At least it's a Samsung, so mistakes will not be deadly, hopefully lol. There's a lot I don't know and this will be a hell of a learning experience. If anyone could fill me in on which devices that have some development going are most similar to this one, it would be a big help. I flashed the TWRP for the G360T1 before I found @adrwill2000's stuff since it has the same processor and specs and I'm sure you all know how that worked out...I guess I'll start by grabbing stuff for the device that our TWRP was ported from, unless you guys have any better suggestions. It would be best to start with trees from a very similar device. I almost hate to post this because it's very possible I will get nowhere, but I could sure use input from you guys that know this device well as to what my best starting point might be. Thank you.
I'm back to running H1 for now because it seems to be our latest that xposed is working on and imo this KitKat stuff sure needs some Gravitybox. Also, on mine, in J2, when I hit reboot it would reboot recovery. I was gonna fix it, but it's working in H1.
Scratch that...I found the Xposed updated for new 4.4s, so I'm on the deodexed, zipaligned j2 now. Thanks for all you've done with this, @adrwill2000...
It worked for me. My phone was bricked and I could not even get it to hard reset. Thank you!
This Rom Is ONLY for the G730A and the G730V variant of the s3 mini, i am not responsable if this bricks your phone. (this is untested on the G730V model but it should work)

If you don't want to wait you should be able to unzip the current version and add this it the update script(META-INF/com/google/Android)
symlink("/system/lib/modules/prima/prima_wlan.ko", "/system/lib/modules/wlan.ko");
Then just compress the files back into a zip file and it should fix wifi.
Corrupt Zip File
Whenever I try to flash your ROM in Safestrap for my G-730A it always tells me I have a corrupt zip file and it is unable to flash it. I have tried to download it multiple times (the first time failed for the Mediafire link) and copy it back onto my SD card but to no avail. I have followed all the necessary steps to get this Samsung Galaxy S3 Mini somewhat custom ROM ready. I installed the busybox scripts, enabled safestrap, set the SELinux mode to permissive, installed Xposed and the libraries, now I just need to know how to flash a modded version of the Kitkat 4.4.2 stock ROM onto this device properly. Do you have another version that's more stable, or possibly even a link to an entirely different de-bloat ROM? Thanks!

My suggestion would just be to manually debloat the rom by just uninstalling all the useless system apps. The stock rom I made is very buggy and because you can't root on this rom you have to flash back to stock with Odin if something goes wrong. I can try and reupload to Google drive if that helps, but I am unable to test it because I bricked all 3 of my s3 mini's. I also ported another rom called tencent os but that has more bugs than this one so it's not worth using.

I will take you suggestion and just do the following on the stock ROM manually. I will heed your advice that the ROM you created just isn't ready for primetime, and I would honestly rather trade stability for convenience any day. You don't have to go to the trouble of re-uploading a new one to Google Drive if you don't want to. Speaking of Tencent OS, while I was doing research for this device on XDA that did come up in the search results. I thought nothing of it and I didn't even look at the author of it, but I'm pretty sure it was you Turnert. At this point I think I will just stick to the stock 4.4.2 image and stop looking for what isn't there.
UPDATE: I was able to get the number of system apps down to about 150. So far so good, initially there was some black screens and random apps opening after the preliminary uninstall. All seems to be fine after a soft reset though. I'm liking the performance and the added storage benefit without all that bloatware running in the background taking up room.

Honestly I might buy an s3 mini and see if I can improve this rom a bit considering it's been quite a while since I've done any work on this device. I would love to work on this device again and see if I could maybe get aosp or something running on it even if it's not very likely that aosp will ever run on it.
Hi guys! is this 4.4.2 because basically 4.4.4 was never released for this phone? thx.

SamFail presents...
PartCyborgRom
BQL1
A Rooted Custom Rom
For G950U/W, Bootloader Revisions 1 or 2 only any higher are not currently rootable or vulnerable to this exploit
Updates
New Release and a new OP that I hope is easier to read.
Send feedback or suggestions on improvements to me via pm here or on telegram.
Heads Up
You may notice that the BL version of this release is different than the system rom part.
The rom version is in fact BQL1, but the BL is a new version of AQK2. The reason for this is because
the latest combination, ARA1, has a number of sensors not working. I figured out a fix but it requires splicing
stuff in from other versions, and it didnt feel like the battery lasted as well. I am still testing though and
the next release if its ready will come with ARA1. This is not the same BL as the previous
release though, so if you upgrade also flash this new BL!
Thanks!
Featured Modifications
Deodexed
Deodexed for all devices.
I found a way that works!
It should keep working as long as nougat
(is that a haiku?)
Xposed Preinstalled
PCR now comes out of the flasher with xposed pre-installed!
NOTE: Xposed Installer may crash on first boot. It will not crash after setup finishes and you reboot
New Boot Animation
Another great one from @Ryan-refoua.
This one is my favorite so far.
JamesDSP
I added another DSP style audio mod. JamesDSP is similar to V4A in how it operates and what features it has, but it has some really awesome features that have made me a fan and a regular user. Among other things, it has a better convolver (IRS processing) implementation, and its bass boost is significantly better than v4a. If there are things you like about V4A you can use both at the same time.
ITYBP Modded YouTube
A last minute addition, this is a really nice youtube mod brought to you by @laura almeida, @Razerman and @ZaneZam. It features some cool additions like native adblocking (no more xposed module), overriding your max youtube resolution (you can watch 4k videos on your phone, but not 4k hdr). I have been using it for a while and really like it. A big thanks to them for letting me include it with PCR
Improved Debloating
Found better stuff to delete. Added back some stuff I took out before that some of you asked for.
If you find something missing that you want back, pull it from the stock rom and install it in /system/app or /system/priv-app, wherever you got it from.
Improved Battery Life
Thanks to some battery sleuthing by @TheMadScientist, this release comes with a nice big bump in efficiency. With just some very minor tuning using amplify and a service disabler, I can get around 1%/h drain.
Performance Improvements
That increased battery life does not come at the cost of performance. In fact performance is better too. Part of that is due some personally tested build.prop tweaks. Another part is some data optimisation scripts that now run at boot. You wont notice those, but they are there doing their thing.
Other Features
New for first time flashers
- Pre-Rooted with SuperSU installed
- CSC OYN pre-installed. Tested working on several carriers
- RCS and VoLTE icons removed from status bar.
- High quality audio mods, including
- Viper Audio (V4A)
- Dolby Atmos from the Axon 7
- Pandora hifi audio framework
- Native Google Dialer & Contacts support, including local search, spam call blocking
- Oreo 8.1 Emoji Icon Set
- Custom Lockscreen Clock font
- Stock system display fonts replaced with Apple's original San Francisco Font
Special Thanks
- @ahiron and @Zackptg5 for the killer sounds from V4A and Dolby Atmos Mods!
- The Aiur crew for Pandora (now a legacy mod but works great on the s8)
- @syndre for the Google Dialer and Contacts framework mod
- @rayan-refoua for the beautiful Tech Lines Custom boot and shutdown animations!
- Last but not least, my new friend @laura almeida, along with @Razerman amd @ZaneZam for letting me include the iYTBP - injected YouTube Background Playback Mod
- everyone who tested
Warnings/Disclaimers/Known Issues
- 80% Battery life like every other rooted US snapdragon device
- Flashing on a USB 3.0 port will likely cause corruption in your flash that can cause kernel panics, loss of root, and occasionally very strange other errors. If you get something like this, its not the rom its a hardware conflict that can only show up with larger images like are used in SamFail flashing. See the section below on Kernel Panics for more.
- If there is an app or apk from the stock rom that you wish you had installed, the best solution is to extract it from your stock rom image and copy it to the same place in /system using a root file manager.
SamFail Rooting Process
and Rom Installation
WARNING: THE FOLLOWING WILL ERASE YOUR WHOLE PHONE
If you have a SDCard, remove it from your device. Occasional firmware incidents have wiped SDCards in the past. It has neer happened to me, but I have a backup of my sdcard so I can be a little more risky. Better safe than sorry.
Prepare the Following:
- complete stock rom at your bootloader rev in case things dont work
- Everything backed up
- Both Prince Comsy Odin, and Regular Odin for flashing stock
- A USB 2.0 Port. If you attempt to flash with a USB 3.0 port it may work, but if you get kernel panics, or unexpected bad behavior and/or crashes your usb3 is absolutely to blame. some people get lucky and suceed after a few tries, YMMV. If you can not acquire a machine with a usb2.0 port, get a usb2.0 hub and run your phone into that & that into your machine. Reports are that has made things work for some, but we get few reports back.
What is my Bootloader Revision?
Your bootloader revision is part of the baseband build number of the firmware you are currently running. Lets use this rom as our example. The full build number is as follows: G950USQS2BQL1
Start from the right and count 5 characters back. See that 2? That is the bootloader revision for the firmware that came with this rom. But we are not flashing the BQL1 firmware (or Baseband), We are using an older version because it works better. The version we are flashing is: G950UEU2AQK2. Can you tell which revision it is?
Is my Phone Compatible?
Is it a G950U? Is it a G950W? If you answered "yes" to one of those questions, then the answer is "yes". That being said, flashing this rom if you are on bootloader revision 1 will upgrade your bootloader revision to 2, which means that any previous rom you were running wont work, so be prepared by having a copy of stock for bootloader version 2. If you don't want to move to version 2, you can still run the latest PartCyborgRom though, just use the G950UEU1AQk1 BL_ tar under Old Downloads in place of the one that came with this one. It will work just fine. However if you are unsure I suggest you go ahead and upgrade, there are not really any benefits to staying on 1 at this point.
Steps to Root
1) Download and unzip AP Part 1 and BL Part 2 zip files.
2) Download and unzip Prince Comsey Odin and start it up
3) Reboot device into Download mode and connect it to your pc
4) Open Comsy Odin and only add the AP Part1.tar.md5 file. Select only the following options:
- "Auto-Reboot"
- "F-Reset Time"
- "Nand Erase All"
NOTE: Odin will freeze while checking the AP tar.md5 hash.
Be patient, it will come back. If your computer is old this will take even longer.
5) Click "Start" and wait for the system.img.ext4 file to flash fully to your device. This will take a while too.
ATTENTION
When the flash finishes, this is when the SamFail magic happens. Instead of saying "Failed (Auth)" like it should, the device will crash into upload mode with "Unknow Error".
If your device does not do this, and just says "Failed (Auth)" or something similar and stays in download mode, you need to start again from the beginning, but using a different set of usb ports as you have suffered from the usb3 corruption.
When you see the upload mode page, do the 3 button salute to reboot into download mode again.
WARNING: When you reboot from upload mode, it wont look like download mode. You will see an error.
When you reboot back into download mode, your screen will say that you had a failed update and you need to do emergency repair or take your device to a service center.
Rest assured, your phone is actually in download mode, and Odin will have recognized it and said "Added!" along with the com port lighting up underneath the progress bar. Just continue the process. It is safe to do so and that error will go away after the next step.
6) Close and re-open Comsy Odin or hit the reset button, and add BL_PartCyborgRom-BootLoopEdition-<version>.tar.md5 to the BL section.
7) Leave the default checkboxes for "F Reset Time" and "Auto Reboot" checked. Uncheck "Nand erase all". Click "Start" and flash the BL (part 2) to your device.
Note: If you forgot to uncheck nand erase all, don't worry. You are just wasting time doing something again that you already did, the outcome is the same. "All" in "Nand Erase All" means "all userdata", which means cache and, well, userdata. Nothing else is deleted.
8) Wait for the flash to finish . It won't take very long at all as the files are small.
9) When it has finished, Odin will say PASS and your device will reboot into recovery.
From this point forther the scary download error message will be gone for good (or until next flash). Don't go looking yet though, you have more work to do to get root.
Warning: Failure to follow this step could lead to a corrupted instance with no cell coverrage
10) When in recovery issue a factory reset. This ensures that your device has a userdata and cache partitions that are valid, and that the csc is processed correctly. Failure to do the reset could cause issues with either.
11) Boot the device as normal. Wait for it to come up. Its deodexed so it will take longer than even your average odexed rom.
All done!
FlashFire Instructions
- Get the ROM on your phone and unzip it
- Open up FlashFire
- Add a Wipe task, select the top 3 items only
- Select Flash Firmware and load up the AP_PartCyborgRom-BootLoopEdition-<version>.Part1.tar.md5 file to flash your new system
- Select Reboot to Recovery
- Make sure "Inject Root" is NOT checked
- Press go. Wait for the rom to flash and your device to reboot into recovery
- From recovery do a factory reset
- Then select reboot to Download Mode
- When device reboots into Download mode, flash BL_PartCyborgRom-BootLoopEdition-<version>.Part2.tar.md5
You have to use odin for the BL file because flashing bootloaders in FlashFire is a bad idea.
Dirty Flashers
Yes, you can dirty flash this rom to upgrade, however it is problematic and can cause issues. I did it for a long time, but my install was a mess by the time I gave up and reset.
To dirty flash, follow your preferred method of flashing above, but skip the Wipe step.
Odin
Skip "Nand Erase All" during the Part 1 flash. Do everything else the same
FlashFire
For the first Wipe task, instead of selecting the top 3, select only Dalvik like the second wipe task.
NOTE: This procedure is ONLY for people upgrading from an earlier PartCyborgRom version. If you are coming from stock you can not dirty flash because you userdata is encrypted which is not supported by the Factory firmware. If you are coming from other rom, or stock, I have no idea man but don't look at me if it blows up.
ANOTHER NOTE: This method of flashing is unsupported! If you do this and you have issues, you are on your own. If you think they are the rom, then back up your entire rom, wipe and reproduce them.
Help! I Got a Boot loop!
If you get a boot loop or your device hangs at boot, try the following:
1) Reboot to recovery and factory reset again.
To get to recovery hold power+vol-down until screen goes black, then wait till upload mode (press power key for 7+ secs) comes up. Then press vol-down+power again and hold it till it reboots and as SOON as the screen goes black switch to holding vol-up+power+bixby. Hold it for 5-7sec then let go and you will wind up in recovery mode. If this doesnt help, or you can't get to recovery because you cant press the buttons right, proceed to the next step.
2) Try flashing just Part 2 (the BL) again. not only will this get you back in recovery, it will also format your cache again. Its worth a shot and doesnt take long.
Kernel Panic, Invalid Argument
Start Over
Go back to the beginning and do everything again. If it fails again, even in a slightly different way this time, bad interaction between the s8 and your USB port/controller/cable/etc are causing the image to be corrupted as its being written to disk. Try the following:
1) New USB Ports. If you have them, use a different set of usb ports (not the one next to it, but one further away). Its possible that that will be your "good" port, and that will be enough. Lots of machines also have some USB3 ports and some USB2.
2) New Cable. Its less likely, but maybe a new cable will help. Do the whole thing over with a new cable.
3) Try a few times. It sounds silly, but people who have had this issue have reported that eventually it just works. Try a few times until you get sick of trying. If you try like 10 times it probably wont work on the 11th though.
I Dont Have Another USB Port!
Try to borrow your partner/spouse/roommate/friends computer for a quick flash. Ask about the USB ports though, because another 3.0 port may not help you.
If you can't get someones computer, you can purchase a USB2.0 Hub online or at your friendly neighborhood electronics store. They arent very expensive, and I have heard positive reports from people saying it did the trick.
None of that Worked! I'm Screwed!
No you probably arent. I can count on one hand the number of people who someone couldnt get this working eventually. Some of us will be here to help. Check out our telegram channel, where people will be around that can help you. Its right here!.
And they all rooted happily ever after.
The End.

Flashed fine through flashfire(AP only) was a bit worried because after I flashed the bootloader I got a kernel panic upload mode, but I reflashed the bootloader and it worked out fine. Running it for a few hours now and I noticed right away the difference in battery drain, as in, amazing job at extending the battery life. Thanks for your work, look forward to Future updates :good:
Update: only bug I've found is auto rotate doesn't really work, and internet connection issues(might be my network)
I'm new to SIM unlocked and haven't rooted since s4 so possible newb question but
Can I use this rom to root unrooted AQH3?
I'm on sim-unlocked G950U.
Thanks for any help.

Followed everything and when it went to go reboot the SAMSUNG GALAXY S8 logo popped with the little custom lock but its almost as if its just there like its not really rebooting just a screenshot of it it wont go away after a certain time period or anything,I also tried re-flashing the BL and it still didn't boot up as it should of. Any idea on what I should do?
I will test this with my unlocked g950u1 on tmobile

Same here.
I tried the first method (fully stock) and it failed badly to where download mode did not work, had to use Smart Switch emergency recovery
First attempt without flashing CSC on TMo resulted in Kernel Panic after reboot from Download mode. I ended up flashing the CSC and now the Tmobile boot splash is showing up and seems to be working, will update to confirm in a few minutes.
Update: booted just fine now into Setup Wizard...

Sorry about that! I'm taking care of it now
@partcyborg.
So... I just got an S8 from Boost Mobile after my LG Optimus f7 started FINALLY failing. Had it rooted and cwm thanks to the genius and hard work of devs like GameTheory and PlayfulGod!
1. Should it be safe to use this method and flash this particular ROM?
2. Do I need to do anything special because it's Boost n not vzw?
3. It was mentioned that in spite of 80% battery issue, battery life is extremely well optimised. Anyone else with S8 on Boost try this? Worth it to take the plunge?
Don't care about Knox, Safety Net, etc. I don't use my device for transactions via Samsung/Android Pay, nor Gaming. Wondering if this will nix Playstore purchases via credit card on file? NOT a deal beaker by any means. Just curious.
I desperately miss having root and custom recovery. siiiiiigggghhhh...
Anyway, Thanks for any info and THANK YOU @partcyborg for all the time and hard work you've put into trying to help us get the most out of these phones!
This is my first $700 phone and I'll probably have her as long as I did my f7. ( as log as battery doesn't die or I can have it replaced at a repair shop when the time comes, for less than a fortune. lol)
Attached is a screen of my phone's specs if it helps.
Thanks again,

So... I just got an S8 from Boost Mobile after my LG Optimus f7 started FINALLY failing. Had it rooted and cwm thanks to the genius and hard work of devs like GameTheory and PlayfulGod!
1. Should it be safe to use this method and flash this particular ROM?
2. Do I need to do anything special because it's Boost n not vzw?

This is about all we have as far as ROMs go. We don't have a custom recovery because our bootloader is locked and it's not looking like it's going to be unlocked ever. You can flash this on any G950U phone, carrier doesn't matter.

I'm happy enough with the battery. Bonus is that you won't wear it out charging to 80% only apparently.
It's a multi CSC so you should be fine on boost. I can't test it though I only have VZW. Worst case flash the CSC but only do that if it fails to boot.

Yeah, Bootloader's a major buzzkill.
Root and decent custom ROM would be a nice consolation prize.
What's your take on the battery afterwards? I practically live on my phone and with not being able to swap batteries, a major hit to battery life is pretty much a deal breaker. BTW, thx for the quick reply!

No but you can install rooted aqi6 with it. This literally flashes /system and replaces what you have installed. I find aqi6 much improved TBH

Followed everything and when it went to go reboot the SAMSUNG GALAXY S8 logo popped with the little custom lock but its almost as if its just there like its not really rebooting just a screenshot of it it wont go away after a certain time period or anything,I also tried re-flashing the BL and it still didn't boot up as it should of. Any idea on what I should do?

AEX started messing up on my phone and I was able to use a friends laptop to flash the stock rom and made this verrrrrrry poorly made, yet functional dirty stock flashing zip.
its just a dd of the important partitions for stock rom, with magisk'd boot.img (you need the manager) and @Jleeblanch 's Resurected kernel v3.3
ONLY TESTED ON xt1806 US SINGLE SIM VARIANT. TRY AT YOUR OWN RISK
(but honestly if you can flash the NPS26.116-61 xml.zip from fastboot, this should boot)
known issues:
friggen borked the echo commands. didnt care enough to fix. it still tells you what its doing
doesnt install magisk manager
requires about 5 gb of free space on /sdcard during zip installation
features:
Boots to android

everything from @Jleeblanch 's stock kernel:
Features
+ Passes SafetyNet
+ Magisk works as intended (including modules)
+ AnyKernel2 format
+ WireGuard support (more info)

+ Added additional I/O Schedulers (Zen, SIO, FIOPS)
+ Increased zram compression streams
+ Tuned adrenoboost (disabled by default)
+ TCP Advanced Congestion Control
+ KCAL Color Control
+ Sound Control (by @flar2)

One Debloated Version is interesting
Without the risk of sounding dumb, can someone please explain to me the difference between NPS26.116-61 and NPS26.116-45-5? I have the XT1806 in the US (3GB\32GB)...How many variants of this phone exist?!

NPS26.116-61 has December 1 security patch, updated thermal configs, and camera updates, just google the rest of the maintenance release notes.
XT1802 to XT1806
Usually the variations are the GSM bands, which models have NFC / DTV, single / dual sim, etc.
No worries on the kernel, glad to see it put to good use
This worked like a charm, thank you!
Hello,
Thank you for making this ROM.
My Moto somehow lost both the IMEI's and faced no network issues.
After trying everything, your ROM worked for me and had resolved all the issues in it.
NOTE: We didn't had any backup of any kind but this ROM still saved the day.
Thank you!
Continuing to rise and modify the different variants of rom stock? how they did with the moto g older? As a collection of stock ROMs
For example:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g/4g-development/rom-stock-motorola-4g-lollipop-rom-t3142816
Please kindly upload it on any other cloud storage .
I can't open the zip it's giving me some error
Can this be dirty flashed over stock, rooted NPS26.116-45 in order to get the latest security patch?
I'm computerless at the moment if anyone could mirror for the guy having issues downloading it would be appreciated (all I have is gdrive anyway) sorry man

This only flashes /system /oem /and boot. It shouldn't mess with anything on DATA. It's safe to try, but I'd recommend backing up just in case.
I'm 90% sure it would work, as a dirty update. I've used it to dirty reflashes the whole system and not data and it worked fine. just be aware that magisk is weird ever since v15. Reflashes of it may be necessary.
Lost my IMEI by flashing custom roms too

hi, @ekamran
I also experienced you issue, no IMEI so no network, tried everything even this one. Still no IMEI. What are the things you tried prior to this to recover your IMEI? THanks.

Hey, This ROM is the only thing that has recovered my IMEI.
Before this, I had been in situation where my phone was stuck in BootLoader Mode only and couldn't even access Recovery Mode.
Then I had tried to flash the official firmware via Fastboot method of which some files installed and some didn't but fortunately, I regained access to Original Recovery Mode.
Then I had flased TWRP again and then flashed this ROM.
Everything sorted.
Thanks for developer
And keep it up
Does it work for the Indian variant

What is the use of flashing oem.
We only need boot and system . is there any risk in flashing OEM.img

i had changed the moto stock font. no risk, i think only the stock rom uses it normally. contains moto apps and stuff. when you flash an xml.zip it flashes it. i had originally tried to include the modem partition too but it was giving me issues. this is a stock rom so i included stock files, if you had somehow wiped or corrupted oem, stock rom (and possibly others) might not work correctly so i included it.
