anyone have a better link for XAA oreo for download?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Stevieboy02008:
Look on updato.com
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] rippedwarrior69:
Does samsung update the apks on apk mirror? Is why not push them to the newest phones? Like note8 s8 s9. Camera has a may 2 update but won't install.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] gregcapps:
I believe the apk are uploaded by users, not samsung.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] fdogic:
Apks on apkmirror are uploaded from users with different phones and softwares. It is hard to know if apk will work on Note 8 if you dont try them, some works and many not. Depending mostly on current firmware.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] rippedwarrior69:
Then that would explain why they won't install. Signatures don't match.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Tonyy1206:
On firmware CRD7. Any update on trying to downgrade back to official oreo or even possibility nougat..
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] gregcapps:
Not possible crd7 is bootloader 4, official oreo is BL 3. You can't downgrade the bootloader
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] JAMRZ69:
So what are your thoughts on CRD7,is it worth it to jump to it or stay on CRC5?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Jay5583:
Verizon Note 8 either just got or will be getting official 4CRD7.

Software update page has been updated but it states:

"Samsung Galaxy Note8 last updated 05/14/2018" but it is only 05/11/2018

Software Version: R16NW.N950USQU4CRD7

Android® Security Patch Level: 2018-04-01
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] chrismich0206:
Isn't some of the builds the May security patch. The bl4 patches are the ones I mean.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Jay5583:
The only leaked May build number that I know of is 4CRE1. You would have to ask someone that has done that update to see if it contains the May security update or not. Now that we have a BL4 base to default back to.. I may try the CRE build to see how it is.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] chrismich0206:
I may do the same. I still would prefer to have Odin files. I'm on crc5 and I don't want to have to go back to Crc2 to get it. Idk, it depends on how bored I am.

T-Mobile has an error on their page it's 4CRD7 a bootloader 4 build not 3CRD7 which would be bootloader 3

Wassup ya!.....Been a very long time since I've had a Samsung note but I just purchased an unlocked note 8 from Samsung and using it with tmobile. It came with this software..Build number

R16NW.N950U1UEU3CRC1....Can I unlock this bootloader and also root? Do I have to go back to an older firmware? Thanks In advanced.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] blane3298:
you cant unlock the bootloader. You can root if you downgrade to nougat. Battery will only charge to 80% with root tho
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] rippedwarrior69:
Maybe wrong thread but why is it white on status bar is that screen burn? It barely noticeable but only on black.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Venom0642:
If you mean the little white bar on bottom that would be from Samsung Pay which that is normal, if not take another screenshot and circle what you think is screen burn.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] rippedwarrior69:
This above the red. It really faint. The one at bottom is x home pro gesture bar. Can only really see it with black wallpaper. Its only one the home screen not anywhere else.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] refurbishedtoaster:
Will the Verizon update on Monday that is supposed to be CRD7 be the same as the CRD7 leak that has been posted here? I went ahead and updated to it but I'm just wondering if I will need to Odin to the official Verizon CRD7 in the future to get future OTA updates.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Nickitt:
I've experienced this before. It was the 3rd party launcher I was using. Go clear the defaults on the launcher you're using and check with touchwiz.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] rippedwarrior69:
I have uninstalled it and reinstalled it helped a little.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Nickitt:
Check the settings for the launcher, should be settings for color for the bar.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] rippedwarrior69:
Yes but it only changes the Google search icon color.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Nickitt:
I use Nova Launcher Prime. Might check out the free version if you haven't yet, see how you like it.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] rippedwarrior69:
That's ok I have nova prime its OK but thwle white still there. May have to factory reset and see if that helps.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] lildoggs:
What? Am I the only person that's excited about this new oreo update. I have the official update from last month but its causing apps to freeze and also causing battery drain issues. Can't wait to see how this new update is going to help my phones battery life and performance. Has anyone been able to install the new oreo official firmware yet?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] JAMRZ69:
Who is on the latest firmware and how is it running,battery life,etc.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] gregcapps:
NOPE, but I'm wanting it for the bootloader 4 odin files, so I'm not stuck on a beta build anymore.....
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] lildoggs:
Lol. I actually thought about going to the latest firmware with the bootloader 4 but I didn't want to get stuck. Good luck man.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] gregcapps:
Not really having problems to speak of, just not liking being stuck.....
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] lildoggs:

Open link 1, download and install

Fill in the blanks once you open the program.

Sm-N950U

TMB

Use the patched ODIN (2nd link) and put files where they are supposed to go. Use HOME-CSC if you DO NOT want to loose anything on your device.

THIS IS BL4 ODIN CRD7

Finally!

Now I can go to CRD7-UP-CRE1

Is it only me or it seems everytime I update I have to buy again the Disabler app ? None of the ones I had paid for are working, and the last one is asking me to pay for it again. Are you guys having the same issues ?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Venom0642:
If you mean BK Disabler, it no longer works was removed from Playstore.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Rick1221:
I also have the issue with Package Disabler Pro +. Got on the last update but now under they newly released Oreo update from Tmobile not is not working. I email the support and they told me I need to pay for another Package Disabler.

Does anyone have the T mobile CRC2 firmware that they can share as a quicker download?I've tried multiple places starts downloading then pauses and never starts back up and when I hit resume it starts all over,very frustrating I'm on CRC5 trying to go back so I can jump up to CRD7 maybe CRE1

So can I just flash this through my stock recovery and I know the trick to save all my data you've already told me that I just want to make sure I don't have to use Odin and just flashed this file that you gave me through my stock recovery

I know this is a dumb question but would necessarily happen if I didn't downgrade from crc5 to crc2 and just went straight to crd7 or even cre1? I don't have a computer at the moment and was gonna use the stock recovery technique to flash the update but don't know what would happen. I'm assuming there's a high possibility of bricking my phone without going through the proper steps?

Im also on CLQ7. Did a completely clean install, didnt restore ANYTHING, do I had to install all my apps manually from the Play Store.

When I first opened Amazon and attempted to login it, it kept freezing. Actually caused my whole device to freeze, and finally force closed. I finally got the "Amazon keeps force closing" message and I closed it.

I thought I wouldn't be able to use the app either. But I opened it one more time and it worked perfectly. Been using it ever since without issue.

Try a couple things:

Clear data and cache on Amazon app.

Uninstall and reinstall Amazon.

Download it from a different source (i.e. if you installed from Play Store, install it from Galaxy Apps instead, or vice versa).

If all else fails, send your phone and all the accessories to me. I'd love to give it to my wife, especially if Amazon isn't working on it. LOL

what password? i never set up the phone for password, i only use pattern.

or they meant samsung password or google password? i tried all, i cant pass this screen! help !

FIXED ! that was scary. i went to recovery mode, and do a factory reset, and clear the cache.

now when i boot up, it asks for my google password. i know my google password.

Yup. You're on BQJA. You need to update to BQK2, then update to BQL5, then finally update to CQL7 (Oreo). All of that can be done through Recovery with the OTA files in the OP. Just make sure you follow rhe steps to get to CQL7, not CQL1.

You need to be on BQL5 to go to CQL7. You just missed a step is all.
