Sorry to keep bugging you. I got the Verizon variant. Having issues getting the CRC2 update. Cant see to find it anywhere, even after searching on here for 20 mins. Also. THe only ODIN files I can seem to locate are BRB1 and BRA5. Which do I need to go to to then update to CRC2 then to CRC3. Thank you in advance.

OK. Now that I remembered how I did it the first time. Im downloading the BRA8 files(now that I finally found them) and got the BRA8-CRC2 files off of the samsung firmware page. If I have any other issues i'll ask. Think I got it.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] smiley45:
Hmm sound like an bad odin. Flash. This can can happen form bouncing around firmwares. I had to get a new sim card because of this. I call this sim burning
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] gregcapps:
This was the first time I had ever flashed the phone. Doesn't matter now, it's fixed.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] gregcapps:
Hoping crc4 drops soon
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] ekerbuddyeker:
Yes. It's been nearly a day on 3.

Actually to me this ROM is significantly better than 2.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] spjetrovic:
could this be related to the issue? found this over on the ATT note 8

**USERS BE ADVISED**

There has been multiple reports, if you're using a different service provider, for example, T-Mobile "sim card" on a AT&T device, firmware will change automatically to T-Mobile or whatever service provider you're currently using. If you're service provider "sim card" is AT&T and your device is originally from AT&T, firmware will not change. It doesn't matter for what firmware you're flashing anymore. It's all based on the sim card, from whatever service provider you're currently using. This feature was added, to make it easier for users to switch between carriers without flashing any firmware.

To avoid this, please remove sim card before flashing.

Connect to wifi, download Samsung BK disabler apk ($2.99 in Google Playstore), disable auto preconfig, after it is disabled, then you can insert your sim card. You've been warned!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] gregcapps:
That's when going to crc2. Package disable can't do anything when you Odin a firmware, because it typically wipes the phone and you are starting over fresh.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] bloodstorm666:
To my understanding yes. If you Odin back to the latest nougat you will receive the official Oreo build OTA. I'm on a sprint note 8 but they are all the same.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] spjetrovic:
Ok got you! Up and running CRC2 Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Giebnatious:
Nobody else set custom notifications? I upgraded to CRC3 and still having issues.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] marcjc:
I am having two issues since upgrading to CRC3. I did not have these issues prior so they are new for me.

Notifications for two different email programs are not showing. I have to go into the email apps, both Aquamail and Nine. Only when I go into them do they refresh mail, so push doesn't look like it's working, so this could be either a notification issue or a push issue... lol .

Bluetooth seems to be disabling itself. I can turn it back on and it works, but then I see my watch shows disconnected and I realize the phone's bluetooth is off.

Battery life has been bad on CRC3 for me as well. Installed this yesterday, so it's been about 24 hours. Seeing quick drain that I have not seen prior at all. Unplugged at 6am this morning to check weather, then left unplugged, by 8am down to 84% without being used. This was not usual for me.

If my issues are not occurring elsewhere, a fresh start on CRC3 may be next... recommend a simply factory reset to accomplish that?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Giebnatious:
So for me, I want certain apps to show the notification icon but no sound or visual interruption. However, best case I get a notification in the notification pane, vibration/sound and the icon. No matter how hard I try it's that or nothing at all.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] marcjc:
Perhaps I am having the same issue as I have mail notifications set to show but no sound.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] archie87:
You can try wiping the cache in the recovery first if you haven't already.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] marcjc:
I have not.. giving that a go now.. Thanks for your feedback and advice.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] brholt6:
The latest for Verizon is BRB1. They didn't have a BRA8 so I don't think you'd get their Oreo update.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] jaizero:
I'm not experiencing any of the issues you are. I've posted screenshots of battery ststus, and my home screen showing a notification on Aqua Mail. Bluetooth seems to be normal for me as well, aside from not being able to change any of the settings in Developer Options.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] archie87:
Well I didn't have an SD Card so I sideloaded the CRC3 update with adb. Forgot that it wipes /data. Oops. :rolleyes:

I was getting some weird static lines on the display at times with CRC2. Thought a hardware issue had developed, but it appears to be gone now.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] ekerbuddyeker:
Doesn't wipe data if you stop the process at the right time
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Stevieboy02008:
I went straight from CRBB to CRC2 then to CRC3 never stopped the process at all and no wipe at all.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] archie87:
I'll remember that next time lol.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Axellent33:
I'm still running CRC1 and waiting patiently till the official Oreo for N950U1 drops everywhere so I can go back to Nougat 3BRA5 and get the OTA. I bought the unlocked phone from Samsung at full price just because of my hatred for carrier bloat.

Good evening, I believe I have made a mistake. I odined the bra firmware and when I tried to go into recover to load the update. It fails. Now my note 8 is acting up. Can anyone help or give me directions to flash it back to stock? I am on the carrier unlocked note 8
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Stevieboy02008:
Follow the guide here. Odin to BRA5 which is the latest for the U1 unlocked and from there download BRA8 and then oreo. If you're not interested in Oreo then just got to BRA5. That's the latest for the U1 firmware.

I'm on the latest(crc3). For whatever reason the location manager service is killing the battery. It's only on phone mode which is usually what I ran it at. Wasn't deep sleeping at all. Now that I shut it off, it seems like it is deep sleeping. Any idea what would cause that??

Let's hope so...I'm fairly happy with crc3 but since it doesn't pass SafetyNet there are a few apps I can't run, but not really wanting to go back to stock or Odin to bra8 so I can reflash crc2
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] kurrupt_1:
Agreed.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Axellent33:
I've read "March 28th" on many sources. I'm good with CRC1 till the U1 bloat-free OTA hits all devices so I'm sure I'm getting it as soon as I go back to BRA5 :cool:
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Symphony0fLife:
Same here.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Giebnatious:
Is there a way to get the bloat-free on a carrier device?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Symphony0fLife:
There's a guide here on the forum on how to do it. For bloat free Oreo you'll have to wait until it comes out officially for the U1. Shouldn't be too long. If history repeats it'll be anywhere from a week to a month after carriers launch, maybe we'll even get surprised and get it the same day/week.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] BlueFox721:
If you device is recognized by windows while on, shows phone and SD in folders, try to use adb to reboot to bootloader...

See if connects first - adb devices

If device is shown

adb reboot bootloader

Leave device connected and stationary, on table or something, throughout boot...then see if Odin recognizes device...

"Device is managed through your organization"

Is there anyway to get rid of this? It shows on my lock screen as well as my notification pull down. It's very annoying and only came up since I've flashed the Oreo Beta. Is there something in BK disabler for it?

Thanks in advance.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] ad44891:
I got that also as soon as I did the adb demands for bk disabler.. That also deleted my facial recognition feature.. So I did a factory reset & just didn't use bk disabler
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] rippedwarrior69:
I installed this on at&t note 8 and android web view crashes and make phone vibration. Other than that every thing works great. Any ideas. I was on qk2 the flashed to ql1. Nevermind delete this post. It had a update that I missed and it all good.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Y0sHii:
Hmm, interesting. I just did the BK steps last night. The whole ADB write permissions thing. My facial recognition was also erased from my locks and accounts screen but it was still there as a Samsung Pass option. I'm going to poke around and see if i can find a happy medium or at most uninstall the program without having to factory reset.

Thanks for the response though, extremely helpful.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] ad44891:
No problem.. So are you still using bk..? If you find anything out plz report back.. I'm curious to see if you come up with anything
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Y0sHii:
Ok, I was able to poke around with it.

Good news:

-That was exactly the issue with the "This device is be serviced through your organization" blah blah.. issue

-You can delete the app and it seems to come from the actual BK Disabler Apk, not necessarily the BK 2 Plugin. (but delete and disable this too)

-Once deleted AND deactivated in the device Admin apps you can just reboot and have facial recognition back and no organization popups

-When you are uninstalling the BK disabler from within the app you have an option to keep the changes and packages you've disabled actually they actually STAY disabled through a reboot (IE Amazon Kindle, in my situation).

Bad News: You'll have to do the entire ADB permissions again if you ever wanted to change what you disabled initially (and reinstall the apps as well as set admin permissions again on phone)

-I don't know if i can just register my face and then reinstall the apps and have it lost in the menus again but STILL have the functionality of unlocking with face recognition just yet. (I'll test that when I'm off work)
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] ad44891:
Great news man.. I wonder if you can just deactivate bk from administration without deleting app.. That's good.. At we now know the culprit.. Good work.. Thx allot

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] jcrompton:
All the things you have done are greatly appreciated! Looking forward to testing for you for Oreo on AT&T

Finally gave up on the LTE issue with AT&T .... I literally tried everything I could think of or find on the net .... I feel like an expert at Shortcut Master Lite now LOL ... trying to do everything with the IMS Settings , etc

The bottom line is that if you have VoLTE (or Enhanced LTE Services) active and your phone is connected to AT&T LTE then calls immediately END. The only work around is to disable the LTE over voice attempt . It appears that somehow AT&T maybe even recognizes the device is not completely correct (if rooted) and blocks the connection.

I just don't understand what that could be and I don't understand what the flashing of the H7 CSC and userdata did to allow the connection that current AT&T CSC and userdata doesn't do ???

I've tried replacing the entire CSC process manually one file at a time (from tkkg1994 latest zip) and that makes all the CSC changes but LTE voice calls still end immediately on AT&T

Go to your gallery and pick any video you want and hit the 3 dots on top. Set as lock screen.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] rafeba:
From what I see you had some problem in the past with the upload mode (not download). Usually that is an error generated by the firmware kernel. Basically the firmware is not function properly. It can be from different causes. My suggestion is to flash back original Nougat (in your case I think is BQK1 or BRA5) then flash again BRA8 and whatever update you chose after that. Anyway you have to go back on Nougat when the official Oreo is released.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] dabl198327:
yes sir that was my original plan but all attempts have been thwarted as i cant go back to anything.. every single thing ive tried just fails in odin. which is why ive reached out for help from you awesome people lol.
