Here it is! If you're on CRK1 I believe it's just an update.zip file.

https://www.xda-developers.com/samsung-galaxy-note-8-install-one-ui-android-pie-beta/
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] jaizero:
Can confirm if on CRK1 you can just use the update.zip file to install the OTA from recovery. I dirty flashed.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] jaizero:
Oops forgot this..
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] jamesro1208:
Does is pass safetynet?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] jaizero:
Nope. It fails the profile match.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] dschachm:
Is it stable?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] jaizero:
Seems to be. Everything I've tried works.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] alorora:
So far what I found that crashes is AR emoji and bixby vision. But that could also be my fault as I just upgraded and did not clean flash.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] dschachm:
I upgraded last night so far so good. Do your notification toggles look this small?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] alorora:
Nope. Did you have any themes or customizations on when you upgraded?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] dschachm:
Not sure, but I am going to wipe and start over
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] jaizero:
I'm seeing the same thing, I dirty flashed as well. Everything else seems great. Been running it for well over 12 hours with absolutely no issues.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Venom0642:
For those on Pie, be aware that in recovery to update from sdcard, most likely won't work, it's broken on Pie, just thought i mention it, this is only if your on Pie. Also be aware, you might also have odin issues if going back to Oreo, just giving heads up.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] CrazyApe18:
Fixed since CRLH, the second to latest leak. SD card now works everywhere again.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Venom0642:
So they also fixed on the Note8, cause i know was fixed on Note9 and S9 lines, just making sure cause Note8 is new on theses Pie leaks, that's why i said most likely can happen.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] CrazyApe18:
I don't have a N8 to try it on. I was referring to N9 revisions when it got fixed.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Venom0642:
That's why i reported here, i as well don't have a Note8 which you know that since we talk in Telegram lol.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] jaizero:
Not sure how valid a test this is, but I attempted to install the Pie update.zip from recovery on top of the existing installation and it succeeded. There were some strange errors referring to vendor path and one other but it succeeded nonetheless.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] TecknoFreak:
I have to be honest, I didn't think that I would like this Pie update for the facts that I never been a fan of the round corners etc but man it just looks nice and so far I love it. No problems at all on my end. Very smoot and beautiful. Lol
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] jamesro1208:
Only issue I have is I can't connect my Samsung Gear Sport. Anyone else able to?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] CrazyApe18:
Haha, just for the benefit of anyone else reading this. I have no idea whether SD works in recovery on the N8 leak.

New Update Pie , N950USQS5CRK1-to-U5DRL6 https://firmware.science/download?url=48993/1488/SS-N950USQS5CRK1-to-U5DRL6-UP
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] kurrupt_1:
Guess not, but will adb work to install?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] jaizero:
Damn it.. Why can't the updates be in order lol.. I'm not going back to Oreo. Hopefully a DRL5 to DRLx comes.

---------- Post added at 06:34 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:33 AM ----------

Use the CRK1 to DRL5 update.zip, or use the CRK1 to DRL6 update that Venom posted.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] agent47isn1:
So far on the Pie update I've noticed AR Emoji is broken, super slow mo is gone unless they moved it and at least on the Sprint note 8 there's no indication that I have VOLTE anymore like I did before.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] jaizero:
I see slow motion, and hyperlapse.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] kurrupt_1:
On DRL5 now but can't get to DRL6 via update.zip.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] jaizero:
Me either my friend, me either lol.. We'd have to go back to CRK1.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] kurrupt_1:
Negative, I just side loaded CRK1 to DRL6 over DRL5 via adb and now I'm on DRL6!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] raneym305:
I'm having the same issue. I remember this being a problem on some of the earlier leaked Oreo builds, but I don't remember what the solution was. Does anyone know if this is occurring with the S9/S9+ or Note9 Beta releases?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] kangi26:
install the plugin apk https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/samsu...plugin/gear-s-plugin-2-2-03-18112261-release/

Then navigate to Settings>Apps>Gear S Plugin>Storage then clear Cache and Data. You should have no issues pairing
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] dschachm:
Can you give details how you did that and what files are needed?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] jaizero:
The details are there already. Use ADB to sideload the DRL6 update.zip file.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] jaizero:
Not sure what voodoo you used to get it to work lol.. I attempted to sideload the DRL6 update over DRL5 and it failed.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] kurrupt_1:
I just did it for kicks, didn't know if it would work or not but it did. I don't even use the device anymore since I got the N9.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] agent47isn1:
LTE signal status isn't accurate says I have 4 bars yet getting messages on Google search that I'm offline

Update: scratch that may just be the app because chrome works in the same area lol other than some features being broken and few apps not cooperating well with the new os it's pretty smooth for the most part.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Heafust:
Wanted to give my input so far:

1st a recommendation: Shouldn't this be it's own thread now that we're talking about Pie, not Oreo?

After much deliberation, as I haven't tinkered with my phone in years (it needs to be stable for work as well as personal use), decided to take the plunge on Verizon. I was already on the latest update that included the December security patch, so I was able to flash the update. zip straight from recovery. The big tickets seem to working fine, so I should be able keep running it and update my thoughts as appropriate.

Known problems:

-AR Emoji. I know this was mentioned before, I included a screenshot of my Moji with a neck cramp :silly:

-Occasional unknown vibrations, maybe from silent notifications?

-"Finishing system update" has been running for a few hours now. In all fairness though, this was a problem for me on the last couple of updates under Oreo as well. Any input on it this is normal??

Thoughts about the UI:

Overall liking it so far, EXCEPT for all of the wasted space at the top of screens, like Samsung Messages, System Settings.

Thoughts about the process:

It went fine. I was a little concerned about the news that this was AT&T based, but I still have Verizon splash screen, CSC still shows VZW/VZW/VZW. HD voice shows to still be enabled, I see the option for video calling is as well, just haven't tried it yet. I don't see any AT&T apps I'm my drawer. The only ones that were installed that weren't there before are NFL, Amazon, Slacker.

That being said, I haven't checked all of the system apps yet. Any in particular I should be on the lookout for to disable?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] gregcapps:
The "wasted" space at the top is intended to make things easier for one handed operation. Everything is shifted down for that reason.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] dazemc:
I am experiencing the ghost vibrations as well.

I noticed that I get vibrations when an app force closes but I don't always see the prompt that tells me it has FC'd. Maybe the ghost vibrations are background apps force closing without a prompt.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] DJSmoove:
Is anyone having issues where it's black screen and plays the audio with Netflix, Hulu or Prime Video?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] gregcapps:
On certain titles yes. Netflix did that when I tried watching Infinity War.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] MatroxD:
Goofy question: have they discontinued the device management edge panel(the one that lets you say, optimize the device, etc. From that panel)?

Thanks

I am on drl6 on at&t note 8. Everything seems to work fine except Bixby. Bixby home, voice and vision say cannot search for update. But other then that it's so much better then oreo. They do need to change the ugly stock icons.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Nickitt:
Have you tried going into each Bixby app in settings, clearing data/cache then force close (do this on all). I updated Bixby through apk mirror but make sure it's for 9.0. All of mine work currently.

I updated to DRL6 2 days ago.

I also updated my fiancés S8+ to DRL5.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] spidey44:
any one on Tmobile with DRL6 and have the native visual voicemail working?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] DJSmoove:
I have the same issue, None of my tmobile apps work with my note 8 on DRL6
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] spidey44:
Thanks - will probably have to wait on another Beta. Happened to me on the first Oreo betas.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] rippedwarrior69:
I tried updating with apk mirror said could not install. And yes I have cleared data and cache.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Dcox28:
I'm on Verizon and decided to try the DRL6 update today. After the update everything works. I didn't have to manually update anything. It connects to my gear s3 and Bixby works as well. This is so much better than Oreo
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] MatroxD:
Same here.. It is much, much smoother. Only thing that worries me, is usually when the beta is this smooth, the providers find a way to muck it up. But we will see, because this is pretty good..

Anyone experiencing deadzones on the screen witth the keyboard (Gboard in my case)?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] rippedwarrior69:
No I'm on drl6 one ui android 9. Everything works great on at&t note 8.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] droppinbaums:
Seems that none of the streaming providers player in landscape on the current Pie beta. Have tried YouTube TV, Netflix, and ATT Watch TV and all play in portrait but once rotated to landscape, there is audio with a black screen.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Heafust:
Yes, on the left side in particular, but Only for a minute. I rotated the screen so the keyboard was horizontal, typed a piece with no issues, and when I rotated it back to vertical all was working fine. And has ever since.

In fact, most of my bugs have worked themselves out... For example, No more mysterious/unknown vibrations either, for several days now.

DRL6
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] agent47isn1:
I think DRL7 is coming soon http://fota-cloud-dn.ospserver.net/firmware/ATT/SM-N950U/version.test.xml
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] jaizero:
Lets hope it's a direct upgrade from DRL5.. Do not want to go back to CRK1 for every update lol..
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] datajosh:
I bet it won't be, the first few always seem to be updates from the same base. It sucks but that's part of the charm of using unreleased updates lol

How's the battery for you all? Mine is back to being pretty good..

Sent from my Note 8
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] dazemc:
Scared me at first... I have gotten it on both the bottom left and bottom right. I'll try rotating next time, I've just been rebooting when it happens. For the record it's only happened 3 times in the past week.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] dazemc:
Just had my USB-C port not recognizing any connections whether plugged into a power brick or directly to my PC. A simple reboot remedied the issue. I had a mini heart attack again lol
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Sefirosu:
Eh the battery drain is pretty bad when it is not even being used and I did a factory reset too.

I'm not a big fan on how limiting the navigation bar is. I miss being able to hide it when using apps. It is an eye sore on some games and a lot of the cool features of the phone seem to be missing. My friend saw my phone and honestly thought I downgraded it.

For me, the following things crash or stopped working.

-Samsung Notes - Opening old notes is fine, but trying to write doesn't work and causes the app to crash.

-S-Pen is no longer giving me a notice it is not plugged in. In fact, a few nights ago I lost my pen and didn't even realize it was missing as the phone wasn't sending me a notice.

-Spell checking on the native keyboard is not working for some reason.

-Bixby is acting up. High fail rate. Also remappers for the bixby button no longer work.

-Youtube won't let me stream on tv.

-Fitbit service is kinda wonky and hilariously refreshes rapidly. (I had to disable always on)

Hopefully it will improve.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Mr. Orange 645:
That's weird. I haven't had any battery drain issues.

The NavBar gestures seem to be polarizing. Personally I love them. Been waiting for native gestures to get rid of the NavBar.

And Samsung Notes works fine for me. I can look at old Notes, create new notes, and save them. No crashes.

Haven't tested the SPen alarm.

The Native Samsung keyboard has always sucked. It's why I use GBoard.

Bixby sucks anyway, LOL. Just kidding, but I don't use it. Didn't even set it up. And you can't expect Samsung to make sure remapping apps work on their Bixny button. They do work on the Note 9 on Pie though.

Almost all video services are broken. Remember this is a leaked firmware. **** will be broken.

I use Samsung Health with a Gear SEE so haven't tested Fitbit. But again that's up to the developer to make their app work with the OS, not the other way around.

Not sure why you're friend thought this was a downgrade. I actually loaded the Pie leak on the Note 8 just because I love it so much on my Note 9, LOL. Going back to my Note 8 felt like even more of a downgrade.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] alorora:
Hmmm, my s-pen alarm works. I also updated my samsung note app awhile ago. My keyboard spell check also works fine.

What version are you on, I am on 5DRL5. I don't know if this has anything to do with it but it might because it is a beta, and things break between beta releases.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] dazemc:

I would suppose you can but this thread is for the Note 8. You should probably have a little patience and monitor the S8 thread where you created a thread, asked this same question and was answered.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] raneym305:
Use Odin to do a full firmware flash of CRK1, then you can upgrade to either DRL5 or DRL6 (both available at https://firmware.science) via ADB or recovery (preferred method).

Why would that work? It relies on a base build of CRK1. Yoi cant just apply the update over anything you want.

What would happen? And how can I go back to CRK1 without data loss?

That's an official beta.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Mr. Orange 645:
Correct. Beta builds are denoted by the "Z" designator. Now if that's the build that gets released as the official beta build, or if they even do a public beta program, remains to be seen. I won't call anything "official" until it is.

There is no unlocked BQK2. You will have to download the BQK2 firmware and flash it through ODIN. Someone here can correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe if you flash the Home_CSC and DON'T flash the userdata file, then you won't get the Verizon bloatware. The only real difference between the different firmwares is the userdata files.
