You mean you were on beta 1 and you got OTA notification?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Rally517:
Yup
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] d_phekt:
Mine was a notification from the Samsung Members app. Said to check for system update in settings.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Rally517:
Mine too. Was wondering if I could. Cause I signed up but never got updated cause I was on u1 firmware. Now that I flashed this it shows i'm part of beta. Do yours
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] davenull:
Where you on an official install of the beta beforehand?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] d_phekt:
I was on official beta 1 since last week
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] nozzleman_85:
Try updato.com. Enter your model number and you should find multiple build versions
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Rally517:
Nope
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] cam30era:
No. Updato.com also does not have the AT&T version.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] GTiceman:
Same thing happened to me. Saw Samsung acknowledged this morning and is working on a fix

[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Josephigloe:

[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Josephigloe:
Nevermind found it but this just shows what update has been released there is no way to download any Odin files.:(
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] whitetrash529:
I was one of the ones to ask. I'm already on Beta 1 but, apparently to go to Beta 2 one needs to Odin back to 7.0 stock. There are plenty of download links for Sprint and T-Mo, but not AT&T.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Dudash:
FYI, the official Snapdragon variant of Beta 2 (ZQK6), not the buggy pre-release version in this thread, has been pulled by Samsung due to bugs so bad that it basically made the phone unusable. See here.

So if the OFFICIAL beta 2 was pulled, any build after beta 1, meaning the pre-beta 2 here, will be just as bad. I was one of the first to try the beta 2 posted here and my phone was a lot worse than on beta 1. It kept randomly freezing and I would have to force it to shut down.

I'd recommend staying on beta 1.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] cam30era:
This is very interesting. I appreciate you posting, and clearing up some of the mystery surrounding this phantom beta 2 build...

That's impressive...

It didn't work for me either but I dirty flashed CRC5) the battery life is amazing on CRC5 tho

Edit :

I did a clean Install, followed the above instructions and Viola, Certified Play Store...Thanks @ Wagedroid
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] fish2222:
Wish I knew how long it will be before usc pushes an update. I thought about trying crc5, but I just can't get myself to do it! [emoji5]

Hi I'm just wandering

I'm using the g955u1 on AQL1 and I want to try the Beta update which firmware is better to try it on or which is a cleaner system (less bloatware) to star the updates.

My carrier is Claro PR

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] clownin72:
I'm in the same place as you. I can't believe we're still on 2ZRAE, it seems like it's been forever
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] billowusu47:
Yea lol. I mean it's good but its taking long. Do you experience random flashing from your screen on the beta? My phone has been having the issue ever since being in the oreo beta.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] clownin72:
Yes I had those and some random issues with reboots every now and then
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Pickleboyofficial20:
For me CRC5 was a battery sucker..... standby mode very worse , i reverted back to CRB9 . I did a dirty flash maybe that was the issue. I dont know ?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] amieldl143:
Tell you the truth it took about almost a week for battery to settle in. Battery life wasn't that great in the beginning.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Pickleboyofficial20:
Im glad Im not the only one hahaha , anyway CRB9 not so bad so I think ill stay here for some time. Thanks for the response.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Dudash:
FYI, CRB9 is now available on SamFirm if you use CCT in the Region box. I recommend using CRC5 but for anyone that wants an easy way to downgrade to upgrade to an update that uses CRB9 as its base, it's available now.

Sorry for the late reply but no, use the variant that the play store lists for your device. It'll either be 440 or 448 (or 040400 and 040408 if you're using the newest versions).

I just got an S9+ and even it still uses the 440 variant. I'm not sure why it doesn't use the variant for Oreo (940) but whatever.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] amieldl143:
Men I come a long way. S8 will be my last Samsung phone. Waiting for Pixel 3.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] tjustice86:
I am currently on U2ZQKS with my US Cellular S8+. Going through the samsung.firmware.science site the highest version I can seem to get to is U2CRAG. Does this sound correct? Sorry the build numbers are slightly confusing to me. And by slightly I mean very.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] billowusu47:
Lmao I also started from the galaxy s(vibrant) then the note2, the note 3, skipped the note 4[emoji31] got the note 5, and now on the s8+. Patiently waiting for the s10 or galaxy x. The s9 wasn't worth getting to me.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] amieldl143:
Whoa. Before all this I had Windows Phone then the original Nexus from Samsung. Lol. I miss my S6. I loved the rooting times. I actually started developing Sprint S6 Custom Roms. From simple Rom to a customizable Aroma rom(able to select bloatware you want, launchers. Message, etc. )

I was able to fix and implement S8 Features and fix S8 camera port to get it working for S6. Was a lot of work. Had nice donations for awhile.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] billowusu47:
It was nice rooting my note 5 till nougat. Half of the security features on the phone became useless especially if you didn't have magisk installed. I personally think the s8 would never be the same after rooting. Does the s8 even have root?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] amieldl143:
Think they did on nougat for a while. Lots of issues though.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] unk2009:
I bought the S9 plus, played with it for a few days and sent it back, not a big enough difference imo, I'm going to stick with ther S8 plus that I have. I'll wait for the S10 :cool:
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] fish2222:
If I'm looking at this right, it looks like you can go to 2CQLJ first, then to 2CRAF, then 2CRB9, then 2CRC5. Have you checked for OTA updates yet?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] tjustice86:
Yep! After getting some time to actually go over the numbers and understand them, and with XDA and Google's help, this is the route I took. Thank you!
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] tailgunner9:
Got the AT&T OTA update the other day of BRB1 but now it does not let me install from SD card 2CRB9. Any ideas
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] tailgunner9:
Even Canada now rolling out Oreo but Not AT&T!!! Lucky if see it in April knowing them. Think they wish you would buy S9 to get Oreo.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] real77055:
it's out
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] tailgunner9:
Have a friend that just got OTA of Oreo on his AT&T S8 CRB9. Have not seen update yet on my AT&T S8+
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] tailgunner9:
When I Odin back to BQL1 on my AT&T S8+ after running these Beta & Test versions, do I use these files BL, AP & CP ? Do I need to also use the Home CSC also? I want to get back to Stock so I can Update to Oreo thru AT&T Update. Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Goneeuro:
I went iPhone 3g, 3gs, 4, Samsung infuse 4g (att), note 2(German version because I was living over there for a while), note 5(att), s8+(att), s8+(verizon). Ha. I've been all over the place. Think I'll hold here till a foldable note series comes out.

What's the latest update for the G955U atm?

---------- Post added at 06:27 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:07 AM ----------

How is CRC5 different then the CRB9 released on samfirm?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] justanizfamouz:
How do I get to official Verizon Oreo for s8+ now that it's out. Currently on crc5 and while I do love it I'd like to get official OTA's back. Would prefer the method that won't require me to do a full wipe. Thank you in advance.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] kcsevo:
I'm on crc5 and I did the adb user 0 uninstall to remove TMO and tmobile.pr.adapt app. My battery has been the best it's ever been. All day long playing with my phone and my battery is at 39%. I'll stay on this for awhile. Just to share.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] nozzleman_85:
I would flash BRB1 in odin. Flash everything but the CSC file (that way it wont wipe your apps/data on your phone). Once it finishes and it gets booted back up you should be able to check for updates in the settings and be able to pull the CRB9 Oreo update
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] asggold:
Unfortunately, that will not work. If you start with any Oreo build and Odin backwards to BRB1 (or something earlier) it will give you an error saying your data is corrupt and need to restore. From what I understand in previous posts, the only way to get back on to the OTA schedule with Verizon without wiping all the data is to wait for someone to build something for Odin specifically around the latest Verizon release.

[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] tailgunner9:
I got the OTA update from AT&T to Oreo on my S8+ today. Well my update will not install. Have tried 3 times but it downloads it and gets to 24% on the install and stops and says ERROR!!! Any ideas??? Anyone have it so I can try to Odin it in phone?? Guess I will go to Samsung desk at Best Buy and see if they can get Oreo to install. DARN IT.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] muziling:
Does crc5 is oreo release build or beta build,

SamFirm can download oreo release build
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] jpholmes:
Is the CRC5 version newer then CRB9? Why have they only released CRB9 and not CRC5?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] rohitece06:
go through last couple of pages

---------- Post added at 11:36 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:34 AM ----------

what is this command? can it be done for verizon?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] gdecker:
What worked for me is when Odin resets catch it before it reboots, go back into recovery and install the update.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] asggold:
Yup, that is what I did with all the updates and worked for me. However, it will not work for what the person asking the original question is looking for. If you want to go back to Verizon to load the OTA update you either will lose all your data or you will need to wait until there is an Odin file that will load the Verizon standard CRB9 directly (or something that will keep you on Oreo and allow you to OTA update to Verizon's CRB9).
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Goneeuro:
I will ask this too, what does this do, and will it be benificial to Verizon phones?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] tailgunner9:
Finally got Oreo after the OTA would not install it. I flashed from SD card file 2BRB1 to 2CRB9 and works like a charm.

https://samsung.firmware.science/download?url=48926/1488/SS-G955USQS2BRB1-to-U2CRB9-UP

On my AT&T S8+
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Black89:
I'm on ATT. OTA was not available, changed the date two days forward and then did update check and Oreo was available and I downloaded and installed it.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] justanizfamouz:
Havent checked but once updato or sammobile have it would I just be able to use Odin to get back to official without losing anything?

---------- Post added at 03:36 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:32 PM ----------

It appears that sammobile has the most recent Verizon oreo build can I download that and Odin it or will I still have to factory reset?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] asggold:
I believe that is correct but I have not tried that myself (I am currently running on CRC5). My plan was to stay at CRC5 until that is released on Verizon. Then I am fine with Odin back to CRB9 and OTA to CRC5. I just found the battery to last much longer on CRC5 than CRB9.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Drdra3:
I'm still getting failed build time verification errors trying to update from brb1 to crb via sdcard and I'm not sure where to go from here. I'm also not getting the OTA on brb1. When I downgraded to bql1 it did the oreo update but failed to boot
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] justanizfamouz:
If CRC5 is going to be an official build could I just stay on that and going forward after that I'll get official OTA's?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] asggold:
I actually asked the same thing earlier in the forum. One person said no and another said yes. So, I have no idea :) It would be great if that were the case. I do know that my Google Play store says it is Certified now but I don't know if that is the same or not.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] amieldl143:
If CRC5 which is March security update is the official one, yes. For now looks like they are not putting up any more builds for CRC versions.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] jpholmes:
Let's hope that Android 8.1 will follow soon!

I wonder if they will add the S8+ to project treble
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] maliibu31:
From what I understand back in my AT&T days, if you do flash the correct update (the one that matches the OTA), you will he able to update OTA for future updates.

So if CRC5 is the next OTA update for say, Verizon, then yes, you will get future updates.

This.

[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] shaggyskunk:
I'm pretty sure that I remember seeing something on sammobile.com a few months ago that Samsung was going to add Treble to the S8+ and then they released Oreo without it... Probably Samsung was trying to give as many reasons as possible for people to get the S9+... ?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Venom0642:
They will not do this one reason is treble is for S9 Plus which i am on that device treble was made for the S9 Plus Stereo speakers it has, so Samsung won't do this, Speakers are way different on the S9 Plus.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Nitefire77:
Project treble seperates the core OS and driver's from the skins to allow for faster easier Android updates. It has nothing to do with speakers. That's Dolby Atmos you are thinking of.

[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] rizzo269:
I tried to like CRB9 official from Verizon but the battery was so horrible. I used it for a few days and the phone was dead by the time I went to sleep. I downloaded the CRC5 update last night and flashed it and my battery life already seems almost double than before with the same usage.

I'm pretty shocked that the carriers official was CRB9 actually. All of us that ran it earlier on saw the battery issues and they seemed to have corrected it with later test builds.

---------- Post added at 05:00 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:58 PM ----------

I downloaded this same file last night and just tried again and it worked fine. Selected CRB9 as my base firmware and CRC5 as the upgrade and it downloaded right away. Strange.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Engr610:
Good news for you on CRC5. I'm still looking to get it from someone if anyone can post it.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] nozzleman_85:
If you go to Samsung.firmware science website. Put in your model number, current build, CRC5 should pop up and be available to download...i just tried it...i'd give you a link to download from AFH but i'm still in the process of uploading it
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Engr610:

I already went back through multiple pages (and do before I ask any question, not looking for spoon fed info) and you know what I see more than an answer to my question? "go back through the last few pages."

What else I DID see? Was a lot of "try this" and "no that won't work" So I was simply asking anyone that had done it from my current build.
