Noticed the CRD firmwares are up on SamFirmScience...up to and including CRD7. Anyone on one of these bootloader V3 firmwares? Any comments on performance?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] jrcdpm:
On CRD4 Verizon S8 running well no problems.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] JeffATL:
I was on Oreo Beta ZQKS. I initially did a csc change to XAS but Sprint sim forced it to SPR , I am guessing since it was U and not U1 firmware. Anyway , OTA updates did not work, neither did update PRL or Profile. My phone currently says SPR/SPR/VZW.

I just update to the latest official Sprint rom. When I tried regular Odin it did not do anything, so I had to use modded. Now I am on CRC5 official.

Update Profile and PRL still do nothing. And when I try to search for update it says network or server error. I know I am on the latest official rom but I would expect it to say that rather than the error ?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Dudash:
Same here except I'm running the v2 bootloader from CRC5.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] koobie777:
I'm on the v2 bootloader as well but I have crd7 id like t to know if there's a big difference between v2 and v3
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] JeffATL:
Finally on XAS on Oreo without my CSC being changed around. U firmware and XAS do not mix from my experience. I tried the Oreo Beta which was only U. Sprint sim with U firmware would not go together unless I was SPR. when I switched to XAS Sprint converted it back - disabling autopreconfig was not a solution either. Finally, had to do a carrier switch for like the 4th time to xas, but this time odin'd the U1 firmware - now Oreo even though behind on CRB9 , all is working. OTA works too. I think I even got enhanced calling to work through Nova widget trick.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Dudash:
The only major difference is you can't downgrade to a previous firmware that uses bootloader v2. I also just noticed that using bootloader v2 with the v3 firmware causes the phone to believe it is rooted and apps like Samsung Pay don't work so I'm reflashing the firmware using the v3 bootloader.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] koobie777:
I can use Samsung pay just fine what I can't use is Samsung pass. I already knew about downgrading lol. I was just curious if there was preformance enhancements.

Day 3 for me with BLV3, CRD7, and while I haven't done any formal comparison, battery life seems much improved from CRC5. Phone also seems faster, and in particular more fluid in transitions, etc.

I upgraded from 2CRC5 to 3CRD7 via Samsung science firmware. Does that mean I am now locked on Bl3

So battery life on CRD4 is unbelievable. Here's a screenshot of my current battery life since it first booted after updating via Odin at 100% battery. I'm at 43.5hrs since the first boot and I'm still at 10% as I'm posting this.

[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] tailgunner9:
Yep you are Stuck on boot loader 3 Now. So you will not get OTA Update from carrier.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] FatalONEM8:
Excuse me but U3CRD4 is the OTA that will be pushed by all carriers.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] kcsevo:
Ok nice! I wasnt really that upset. It would have just been nice to still maintain my options.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] tailgunner9:
Did not know that. Thought maybe OTA would be a U3CRE. Just have to wait and see what OTA is.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] FatalONEM8:
Its available already on Tmobile and Sprint. Odin files are available too.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] jemadrid:
Sorry for this question, but I don't get it, why is it worth to still be on BL2 if all the carriers development is now in BL3?

Or do we still have a change of getting BL2 unlock?

I'm now on SPR 2CRC5, which I think is the latest on BL2
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Slim2none4u:
I'm staying away from version 3 because i like root. When we get root for Oreo I'm on it!

Samfirm, google it I'm very busy right now.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] maliibu31:
You guys really gotta read before flashing files. You cannot go back to bootloader v2 once you're on v3. It's been said and explained many many many times in only a few pages back.

If you're on v3, you can only ODIN back to a v3 bootloader, which T-Mobile and Sprint have released. There is only one set of v3 files able to flash at the moment, and that's 3CRD4. You may look in their respective locations on XDA or use Google or Samsung firmware science.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] hmltnjrmy7:
Yes I am aware of this. Just verifying. Thank you

[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] mopartonyg:
No you need to Odin to 3CRD4 and then to 3CRE1 via sd card.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] hmltnjrmy7:

[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] fish2222:
Yeah, I'm on crc5, but it looks like battery life is better on those newer ones. I know it's worse on crc5 then it was on brb1. I'm guessing USC will probably never get a bl3 version anyway so we will be stuck.

---------- Post added at 08:36 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:31 PM ----------

One other question. I know I've seen people keep bl2 and update. Is it possible with crd4 and cre1?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] unk2009:
Hey guys, I've been reading through the last 10 pages or so and I have a question. I was on CRC5, I Odined back to the latest Nougat (BL something). My question is this, now that I received the latest Oreo update (CRD4 TMO) would I be able to Odin to CRE1 via Odin ?

Thank you for your help, I appreciate it.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] fish2222:
I could be mistaken, but I think you can update to cre1 directly from an SD card from crd4.

---------- Post added at 09:21 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:19 PM ----------

CRDA just came out at 331 mb. Seems like it's a bigger file but unsure if CRE1 is newer patch wise. E comes after D which in samsung firmware means E is newer than D.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] tailgunner9:
But you Cannot go back to Stock after you install or get OTA to bootloader 3 whatever it maybe when carrier releases it. Unless someone releases an Odin file of the one the carrier version comes out with of U3.

I'm curious also why crda is so much bigger too. And it's only for the 955.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] FatalONEM8:
According to one of my team members it's just them testing for a new CSC for the Spectrum Mobile network.

Same thing as U3CRD6 and 7
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Dudash:
For some reason, CRDA is newer. It has a build date of May 3rd as opposed to CRE1 having a build date of April 27th. Yet both have the May security patch.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] :
Is it certified?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Dudash:
Nope but that isn't affecting anything. I think that only affects devices when they are being set up for the first time.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] RebelShadow:
I think it only matters if using Google pay
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] :
I have both CRDE and CRDA ready, I'll flash one of them. Which one would you flash sir :)
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Dudash:
Do you mean CRE1? It's up to you. Both have the May 1st Security Patch. CRE1 is certified, CRDA isn't. I'd probably stick with CRE1 since I had it installed for a few days and the battery life was incredible. I just installed CRDA so I can't say what the battery life is like yet.

Also, I just checked my other S8+ running CRD4 and it has the Camera Masks available for it so maybe CRDA doesn't include the camera enhancements.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] :
Thank you. I'm flashing CRE1 right now. :) Did you notice any improvement at the camera besides masks?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] lendawg:

This is current Stock release from AT&T, No U3 as I said.

Android version: 8.0.0

Security patch level (SPL): March 1, 2018

Baseband version: G955USQU2CRC5
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] FatalONEM8:
Maybe you need to look in more places.

Such as T-Mobile and Verizon

AT&T usually doesn't care if their site is up to date or not. So the new build info should come up today.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] jdelano:
This is just an informational post, just in case, someone has a similar issue going to CRD4 from CRC5.

I used the Odin file from the Google drive (post 3341 has the link), I flashed BL, AP, and CP as usual.

When my phone restarted there was a notification saying Sprint: OMADM Checking for Service (my phone worked okay tho) it also had a very strange settings menu (duplications and odd items), I took a screenshot but even tho I used Smart Switch to backup the screenshot didn't make the cut I guess. I tried a factory reset which didn't help.

So I downloaded the CRD4 Odin file from SamMoble for T-Mobile. I first I tried just doing BL, AP, and CP from the T-Mobile Odin file but it didn't fix it. I then flashed BL, AP, CP, and CSC. When the phone restarted it said installing update, it made it to 32% and then said error after a few seconds it went into recovery where I factory reset and upon restart, everything was back the way it should be.

If anyone else needs the T-Mobile specific CRD4 Odin file, I've uploaded to android file host https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=818222786056029602
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] fish2222:
I just did the SD card update from crc5 to crd4 with no problem. Shouldn't have to use odin for that update.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] FatalONEM8:
Looks like the first time you forgot to flash the CSC which would do exactly what you said with the OMADM thing as well as **** up settings lol. Always flash the CSC if you are starting fresh. And if not then flash CSC to fix the issue. T-Mobile, Verizon, Sprint etc Odin files are all the exact same minus the USERDATA, no need for specific files unless you're flashing the USERDATA, which will alleviate that recovery error you had btw but will wipe data.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] jdelano:
I normally would do it that way, having used the files from this thread for months. I must have missed that zip somehow <facepalm>

I've never had to use the CSC file before and my data would persist during the update. Anyway, perhaps a fresh start on a new BL is the way to go (yeah I'll go with that - ;))
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] FatalONEM8:
Yeah I mean when it messes up like that a HOME_CSC flash will usually fix it and keep data. Fresh start on new BL isn't necessary.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] tailgunner9:
AT&T is the Worst for Updates. You are correct about AT&T. I was speaking of AT&T when I wrote that we have not gotten update to U3 bootloader OTA as yet. Thanks FatalONE8 and glad other carriers are getting updates, AT&T will Never change on this. Just NOW getting the Update275.37Mb download. Thanks FatalONE8 Now its G955USQU3CRD4 on AT&T S8+
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Jay Goom:
Camera masks? Not familiar...can you fill me in?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Dudash:
It's like Snapchat style masks built into the Samsung Camera. Ones that have sound effects, animations, do different things if you smile, blink, etc.

If you go into the Camera App, near the bottom on the right side is a "Stickers" button. Click it and you will see masks and probably a "+" icon that has a red dot with the letter "N" inside it indicating new masks are available which are really just remakes of the ones we had on Nougat that don't work on Oreo.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] fish2222:
So, here's another dumb question. lol. Why are all of the version numbers for the S8 G950USQU except CRE1. It is G950USQS instead....
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] FatalONEM8:
Great question, here's a breakdown of an example G955USQU2CRC5

G955U=US S8+(Model of phone)(G955F=International S8+)

SQ=Snapdragon Qualcomm(Carrier Firmware)(XX=Exynos)

U=Update(S=Security only)

2=Bootloader rev 2

C=Oreo rev 1(D would be Oreo Rev 2 or P)

R=2018

C=March

5=Build 5

Can someone please explain how to update through SD card without it wiping data every time.

Galaxy S8+ on AT&T

This happened to me updating through recovery from CRC5 to CRD4 and from CRD4 to CRE1

Your help is greatly appreciated
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] FatalONEM8:
Force reboot (power+vol down) right as or just before you see "result was /system" and you'll skip a wipe. Note that if you do this to early you run the risk of bricking your phone and too late you'll get wiped data anyway or a corrupt partition that will need to be Odin flashed. I'm not responsible for what you do.
