I was getting itchy for my daily update. It's been 15 hours already.

Is there a link for the update.zip?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Bone_Enterprise:
No.

I'm on CRA2. Am I stuck on this version for now??

What are you doing exactly?

BRA6 is running great, I think I'll stay on this one for now until Official Oreo :(
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Majin101:
Official build must be near! They better not be teasing us...
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] ekerbuddyeker:
Venom, when is the next build out? It's been nearly a day...
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Freakyd9984@gmail.com:
So I'm not rooted or nothing but I am on this version right nowBaseband version

N950USQS3BRA8 and I am downloading this that's in the picture so all I have to do is go to my stock version of bootloader and just flash it. I don't have to use odin or nothing
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Venom0642:
Drop in sdcard just the way it is go to recovery apply update from sdcard thats it.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Freakyd9984@gmail.com:

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Venom0642:
Latest Oreo will wipe phone.

With February patch.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Freakyd9984@gmail.com:
Will I be able to restore everything through Samsung backup
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] smiley45:
Yes

With samsung cancelling oreo for the s8 does anyone think it will affect the note?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] riveralc:
Using Oculus dev Connect-SDK-Android-master pkg and almost got it but saw a squirrel and started enjoying cardboard VR apps on my Gear VR.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] riveralc:
I updated the latest Oreo with Feb patch without wiping anything on my phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Venom0642:
Well for some strange reason some people get there phone data wipe so i mentioned just incase it happens so they can backup there data before updating just incase.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Mr. Orange 645:
Didn't wipe mine. And I've actually dirty flashed it twice in the last 24 hours.

What CSC are you on?

---------- Post added at 06:46 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:39 PM ----------

There's no way for Venom to know. They get pulled from the ATT servers when they are available.

Sometimes it's the same day it shows up on FOTA, sometimes it's the next day. Sometimes they never show up.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] herandy:
No it doesn't. Why are you giving false info?

---------- Post added at 07:03 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:52 PM ----------

Oh nice I got it working. Go here and check how to enable dev mode and enable add icon to app list. Then you can go in the app on your screen and run oculus vr, lol.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Venom0642:
Why are you screaming at me lol , for me it does wipe it , unless you have a trick up your sleeve lol, And for God sake stop screaming at me i appreciate it.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Majin101:
Yeah, mine has been wiped as well when I flashed with an updated.zip to one the the CRAB Oreo builds. I watched it get updated, and saw it wipe my data and cache. Little blown but didn't really care, was just surprised.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Venom0642:
Right unless they have a trick up there sleeve that i don't know about, All i know on my AT&T Note 8 it does wipe it.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] herandy:
The only thing I can think of is that you probably flashed the normal CSC file along the other 3.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Euronymous88:
To get it to not wipe your device...flash just the BL, AP and the CP file in Odin with auto reboot turned off. Then manually reboot into recovery mode and then apply the update zip file. I've done that with the last two builds and it hasn't wiped my device.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Venom0642:
Ok explain then please so exactly what files .tar you flash?

---------- Post added at 02:37 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:36 AM ----------

Ahh i see what you mean so that's why it wipes mines.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Venom0642:
Btw first cycle on my second AT&T Note 8 battery life so far is amazing as you can see on 3CRB7.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] herandy:
I always flash AP, BL, Home_CSC, and CP, I don't even bother turning off autoreboot and it's always fine.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Venom0642:
Well good to know, but i am so use to doing a clean install and then restore my backup.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] riveralc:
Agree, unless they are using a different odin version/diff settings...I've flashed using both the CSC and HOME_CSC and both didn't wipe.

Thanks for the gear VR link herenday! Will try that out now. Let me know if you want any points on using the Gear VR headset with Google cardboard/daydream apps. Some of them are actually really good.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] smiley45:
Clean install too and just restore backup
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] gforceriders:
Looks like Sammy halted the current release of Oreo for the S8 and S8+.

https://androidcommunity.com/samsung-galaxy-s8-android-oreo-8-0-update-release-halted-20180214/
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] herandy:
They halted the current release not Oreo fully.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] riveralc:
I did try the before and it shows Setup Incomplete shown in attached pic : ( I think if I factory reset it it'll work..
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] ad44891:
I agree.. On Att.. Always wipes phone.. But it's cool with a clean install.. Everything is always backed up.. And it don't take long at all to set up.. So it's no biggie.

Hi Soma.

I updated my Note 8 to CRB7 last night. But instead of using the latest Gear S2 Plugin, I installed the plugin from December 22nd and it worked, finally. :good:
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] herandy:
You need to enable the toggles first. It's like enabling android's dev mode. hit the version number several times until they show up.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Venom0642:
Ok about to plug in my Note 8 a bit off topic but just wanted to share how amazing 3CRB7 is so far on first cycle battery life very amazing.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] borijess:
Here is why the S8 oreo was stopped. Reboot issue. Similar to what we have experienced here.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] borijess:
Anyone use the Chase app? It's super slow for me.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] shag_on_e:
Yeah I noticed that myself, I just assumed it was an issue with the app. For me it'll hang on the gray splash screen for quite a while then finally flip to the login screen. And slow to transition to any other screens in the app also.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] borijess:
Same exact issue for me.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] jaizero:
I have to agree. I'm at work and haven't had the screen on much, but at this rate I should be good for like 3 days lol.. Live Focus is still a laggy piece of sh*t though.

Yours shows your screen used 2875mAh or 59% of total usage. It's a 3300mAh battery so that would be like 88% of the battery capacity. Something isn't adding up there.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Slifer7564:
Unlocked note 8

So I get that this is a carrier build and will install bloatware related to the carrier. Was wondering if I kept my sim card out of the phone will it still install the carrier bloat if there would be no carrier registered?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] smiley45:
Yes it will still install carrier build. I have tried
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Slifer7564:
But

But will it still install carrier apps? If so which one? And will it still be unlocked?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] ekerbuddyeker:
Do you think there will be an update.zip for 3CRB8
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] alfamega190:
Opening the app is really slow for me also. After I get in(5min later) it's fine. Lol
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] herandy:
Someone said a few pages back that you should take out your sim card, update, and once you boot up use bkdisabler to disable some stuff and then after you insert your sim it wouldn't install anything. Try to find that post.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] jlangner:
Sorry newb here. Have a locked TMO version at 3BRA9. I need to download the 3BRA8 update and place on SD and use recovery mode to update to that. Once there I can do same thing with CRB7 on the SD from recovery mode...right? I don't need Odin, correct.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Soma1230:
Wow, great find. I also just flashed CRB7 and saw your reply. Thanks for the tip, I got it to work.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Nick281051:
Not correct, you need to flash BRA8 with Odin and then you can update from your sd card to CRB7
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] jlangner:
Thank you. To revert back to TMO 3BRA9, what would I need to do?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] jaizero:
You'd need the BRA9 Odin files to flash back to.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Rydah:
BRA8 >>> CRB8

• Still uncertified in the Google Play Store...

• Appears that the live focus lag is gone...
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] gho5t82:
Out of curiosity what do you keep your screen brightness at?

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Majin101:
Lol, just stop following the thread and you'll be able to resist until the official release. If you're lurking here daily, just flash! I think I might flash the latest build.

If you have a ATT version, I can help walk you through it. Just PM if ya want

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] note3userr:
Loo don't believe that nonsense that guy always posts. Screen has used 59% of battery but yet it has used 2875 mAh. Judging by that he has a special edition, one of a kind 5000mah battery note 8 ......
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Venom0642:
Lol sure if you say so , no need for me to lie, i will leave it at that and ignore your post, have a nice day.

---------- Post added at 02:46 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:45 AM ----------

Live Focus was fixed on 3CRB8 no lag at all, just thought i mention it.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] note3userr:
So explain how your screen has used almost 3000mah but is responsible for only 59% of the battery ?. It's not just me saying so, it's clear numbers.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] gho5t82:
I guess he could be using a battery case.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] :
Or the screen was 59% of the battery usage (i.e. 59% *of the x% used*) not used 59% of the *total* battery...
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] ekerbuddyeker:
On the new build. Live photos is still horribly laggy
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Wacky2bakky:
+1 Has to be using a battery case to get that good of battery
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] clubtech:
Hmm, i thought two posts above you someone said it no longer lags at all.

Anyone else can share if live focus is still lagging with the latest build?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] DeusBelli:
Zero lag on my end
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] clubtech:
Thanks for confirming. Guess i'll flash to this build then :)
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] jbreaz:
+1 zero lag
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] GibMcFragger:
just flashed it. Zero lag here. Looks like they finally fixed it.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Majin101:
I'm still restoring my data so it does have a very light lag
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] drew272011:
Zero lag this version feels smooth as a babies a**
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] GibMcFragger:
The stats show 59% of the TOTAL PERCENTAGE USED, not 59% of the battery...

Eg: battery is at 75% remaining, then it would be 59% of the 25% used.

---------- Post added at 07:42 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:41 PM ----------

I agree. It's buttery smooth for me also, and I dirty flashed.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Nickitt:
Just pushed CRB8. Love how fast these are being pushed out. Auto focus is fixed, without lag. No issue with connecting to Gear S2 Frontier.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] gforceriders:
Just had two random reboots on the newest build. It was crazy because my screen went all miniature sized then rebooted. Once back up had a notification saying my charging port had moisture. Then it rebooted again five minutes later and no notification about the charging port. I did dirty flash the last two builds.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] GibMcFragger:
Maybe this build has the same reboot issues they pulled the S8 Oreo release for.

I haven't had any myself so far. It's smooth and stable so far. Camera is finally fixed also.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] edress714:
the link is broken for the odin flash. which one is the latest? I have Sprint BRA6
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] note3userr:
Ok and he had used 93% of the battery. Still impossible.

---------- Post added at 05:18 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:15 AM ----------

Ok... That makes no sense because his battery is at 7% so he had used 93% . 59% of 93% of a 3300mah battery is not almost 2900. It's simple math anyway no more derailing the thread.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] tanked89:
Extra slow I even cleared data re downloaded it

Hey here's a question. I am trying to odin back to bra8 I need my phone to say com11 whrn it's on it does but when I put in dl mode its reads com 7 do I have to change something in my phon2s settings or something. I'm lost it won't read com 11 while in dl mode but will while on changed cords and ports still no luck USB debugging on idk any help please
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] shag_on_e:
Specific COM port isn't important for just normal factory flashing. If it registers a COM port you're good to go.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] tanked89:
No that's not the case in com port 11 it works in other com ports it's just sits there and does nothing.ove been at this for hours now and I note when using odin I'm always on port 11 it even registers port 11 when I power it on and once I put it in dl mode it switches
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] GibMcFragger:
It shouldn't matter which COM port is assigned. It never has for me. I have never even looked. If it's connected, it'll flash for me. Are you using the correct version of Odin?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] borijess:
Live focus no lag here. Clean install.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Dcox28:
Fingerprint sensor doesn't work for my phone on latest version BRA8. It worked to let me set it up but now when I place my finger on it it's just dead

Edit - Nevermind, there is a new setting now to turn on fingerprint sensor to unlock phone and it was off. Either this is new or had always defaulted to ON in the past.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] lildoggs:
I was wondering if it's just me or is anyone else having issues connecting when making a call on crb7 build? It's happened to me twice since I first installed this build from a clean install. Well when I try calling someone I don't hear anything then the counter starts and I still can't hear anything. I didn't have this issue on the crb1 build but i do in this one. But overall it's very smooth and battery life for me is still about average. 5 hrs sot. Nothing special.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] ekerbuddyeker:
I have been on this build B8 for a few hours. Must be time for another newer buld.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Majin101:

Are you using BK Disabler and maybe disabled something curious?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] lildoggs:
Lol I'm not sure what bk disabler is so probably not. I don't have any other settings disabled. I know it's a weird issue.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] tanked89:
Well I stand corrected but on com 11 it works right away the other ones I finally let it sit and after a while 35 min it started the process ridiculous . But yes this cr8 is smooth and fast camera lag gone
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] smiley45:
The latest build is smooth and fast to me ...my n8 is running prefect the only problem I have is icon frame do not work in display setting. I can't change icon . But it never work for me on any beta that I installed but on a good note im thinking of staying on the best build yet.. no more updating for me in until the official update comes out
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Nick281051:
nevermind a reboot seems to have solved it
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] yoonee:
So... I'm sorry in advance for a noob question.

But I cannot find a clear answer.

Is it going to wipe if I were to odin from CRB3 to BRA8?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Freakyd9984@gmail.com:
Do you have screen shots of this build? ‎SS-N950USQS3BRA8-to-U3CRB7-UP.zip ..... Like home screen settings pull down bar

See I'm on this build right now N950USQS3BRA8 and so all I have to do is flash this zip ‎SS-N950USQS3BRA8-to-U3CRB7-UP.zip??? Flash that zip Through my regular recovery and I will be on Oreo correct do I need to wipe my data and cache before I flash it through my stock recovery I'm on USA AT&T I just want to make sure before I flash this that it will be okay to do it because I do not have a computer to revert back
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Wacky2bakky:
Been running CRB8 since last night and it's running smooth. No issues at all and no random reboots.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] chakra:
If you use Home CSC file in Odin instead of CSC file then no it does not wipe, search would also give this result. (both files are in the zip)
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Majin101:
I can't speak for everyone, but when I flashed the latest build CR8 (or any other Oreo build) via recovery, it always wiped my data at the end of the installation. So if your stuff is backed up and everything, and you're okay with a clean installation, and u want to update to oreo... you'll be fine. If you end up doing a dirty flash, at least you're stuff is there already.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Majin101:
If you're just using a theme, I would assume it'd be fine. What theme is it? I can test it out.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Freakyd9984@gmail.com:
It's called in INVASER DELTA , but my battery icons are APK file and my icons are from the Play Store they're called Elegance icons and I change it by using the icon changer in the Play Store then I use overlays for my settings to make the round circles around the icons here's a picture of that also it's a paid theme but there's that APK file for end of Trials and I'm not sure works on Oreo but I bought this theme anyways...

Also I don't use substratum because it will not let me buy the substratum add-on key at all I've tried with all my credit cards and I've even tried buying it through AT&T store and it just won't let me buy it and that's the main thing I'm missing to customize my phone I've even called the Google Play Store and AT&T and they say there shouldn't be a problem they don't know why and I have bought any other app without any problems the Samsung add-on key is the only problem I'm having is there any way you could p.m. me the APK file for that Samsung at on key Maybe I don't know how it works I was just asking you since you're helping me out
