Lol i am sure either today or tomorrow that will show up .
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Alcor10:
I think I figured out what might be preventing the flash, I'm currently on xxxxUEU3xxx with the 3 there being BL V3 (if that's what I gather correctly from update codes). If so then I definitely won't be able to flash anything BL V2 so I'd have to try something else. Since in on BRA5 now I'd have to go newer, but I'm not sure which version to try and find a flash for since all he has are "update.zip" links and those will fail since I'm still a N950U1 build and not an N950 build. Also, whichever build I need to use, it is absolutely imperative that my phone still be unlocked and with absolutely no carrier OS garbage. If that's not possible with this process I'll just wait for Android 8 then I guess.

I have the spam/caller id service, at least on my unlocked device, I'm not sure about the carriers. I'm not sure if I'd lose it post the Android 8 update flash process as I haven't had success yet.

Any on else having problems sending MMS text messages using 3CRB1 on Verizon? Messages app fails but Messages+ app works.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] riveralc:
Nope mine works fine :)
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] jaizero:
Also not having any issues on 3CRB1.

On a side note, does anyone have a link for the new 3CRB3? Can I just apply this update.zip over the 3CRB1, or do I need to go back first?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Majin101:
There's another one?? I don't you'd be able to. It's been the same where you have to go back to the nougagat base (BRA8) and then apply the update.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] jaizero:
Someone mentioned it a few comments back. Not sure if it has actually been posted yet or not, fota-cloud-dn.ospserver.net never works for me all I see is a bunch of XML crap lol..
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Venom0642:
It's not out yet that's a info of what's next , probably be out much later or sometime this week.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] cam30era:

I am have a Verizon Note on BRA5. Since I am now on bootloader v3 can I still do the oreo update?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Venom0642:
You have to odin to 3BRA8 Then can update to 3CRB1.

my sprint note 8 is on bra5. what do i need to be on to get to the latest oreo?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] GibMcFragger:
As stated several time above. Odin to 3BRA8, then update.zip to 3CRB1.

It is 3BRA5 you are on, yes?

---------- Post added at 04:01 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:59 PM ----------

Meh. I don't care enough to factory reset again, just to hope it fixes it. I make/receive like 5 calls a month anyways, lol.

yes. forgot to out that lol. coming from a s8 plus and trying to get a grip on everything. thank you

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] shag_on_e:
Edit edit lol: found my answer, sorry.

Edit: I also just noticed TMO has released BRA9 but since all the betas are ATT I guess this build is fairly irrelevant. Just noticed is all.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] tanked89:
Thanks for the clarity. One last question. Where are the links I cant find them here or maybe my eyes hurt from reading

Update I am on the latest build. Ow . Android pay still doesnt work.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Mr. Orange 645:
I never use Android Pay, but Samsung Pay works perfectly on all the Oreo builds. I'm currently using CRB1.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] DeathGrin13:
How did you revert back to 7.1.1?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Drewski_1987:
Use Odin and revert back. Just make sure your reverting with the correct bootloader version .

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] DeathGrin13:
I apologize in advance, but I am going to have to be a newb on this one. How do I make sure that I am reverting back with correct bootloader? I am currently downloading N950USQS2BQL5 for my Verizon Note 8 to revert back to. I am on N95OUSQU2CQL1 version on my phone currently. Will this be ok?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] dazemc:
The 2 before c or b. It means you are on revision 2. Just remember you can't go back from revision 3. Which means no root
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Drewski_1987:
That looks like the correct move. Looking at the firmware number 2cql1, your on bootloader 2. Plus the firmware your downloading has 2bql5. The number 2 represent the bootloader needed from my understanding. If you look through the threads I'm sure someone has explained way better than I did. Hope that helps.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Venom0642:
Yes since both are bootloader 2 so you be fine.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] thedrizzle:
Downloading now, will update and report back. Thanks for posting the link!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] DeathGrin13:
And do i need to use PrinceComsy Odin or is just regular odin ok? and this won't trip knox or anything right since it is all official?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] player911:
I am on 3CRA9 but I see new Feb 3CRB3...

On the samsung site, I don't see a starting firmware of CRA9, only CRA4 and CRAF. Would either one of those work? Typically not, but asking for a friend lol jk.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Venom0642:
Use official ODIN https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=817550096634787635

You need to Odin to 3BRA8 https://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=3742802

Then you can update from 3BRA8 to 3CRB3
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Nick281051:
You need to be on whatever it tells you to be on. In this case 3BRA8 is the only build you can flash from
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] fireguy0306:
Same. Im on 3CRAF now. Odin'ing back to 3BRA8 then I'll be a guinea pig on the new one.

I mean, it says BRA8 to CRB3 in my post and in the link...

Until theirs another base, you'll always go back to BRA8 until things are official.

I'm on the new build. Seems fine.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] GibMcFragger:
Lol I'm on mobile. I didn't check/download the link yet.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Majin101:
Can you confirm if it says your playstore is certified, and how's the live focus on the camera? Sorry for treating you as a guinea pig :P I can't update until later tonight. Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] thedrizzle:
Just curious, why do we care if Play Store says the device is certified? Apps update/install just fine IME.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] gforceriders:
Still uncertified.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] FreddyFredFred:
If it is certified, chances are, it will be the build that is released to the general public as an ota.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] thedrizzle:
Good to know. Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] fireguy0306:
So far so good. It seems a bit snappier than 3CRAF for me. So far no issues.

It takes a few minutes to show up certified or not. Mine says Uncertified, and I'm on CRB3.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] GibMcFragger:
Updated. All is good so far.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Majin101:
I just updated too. Live focus lags still in the beginning but then it smooths out. Will give it a test run tomorrow
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] shag_on_e:
I almost ran myself into trouble. I had downloaded the update but forgot to move to sdcard plus had named it so I could recognize it, but after being distracted commenced to flashing BRA8 and hot booting to recovery with no file to flash. Used PC to download a new copy and got a signature failure, but second attempt downloads and copied to sdcard worked. Whew.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] dazemc:
Oreo will probably be officially released around the same time as the S9 is announced....end of the month.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] ultimatepump:
Thanks for clearing that up. I'll have to sit tight for the official then. Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] LordGeek:
Now .. fota.cloud.dn.ospserver.net is posting N950USQS3BRB4.DM/N950UOYN3BRB4/N950USQS3BRB4 !!! I'm guessing this will be the February Security Patch for 7.1.1 from 3BRA8.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] fireguy0306:
Which means there is a chance that'll be the new base for jumping to Oreo. If only they released updates as much as they test them.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Majin101:
That's a funny build, BRB ?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] le0.br4zuc4:
Anyway to Odin back to 3BRA8 without wiping the phone?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Bachatu:
Not sure what the official answer is. I took the plunge and downgraded back to 3BR8, my phone booted asking for an encryption password which was never set. I shut off the phone and booted into recovery. Flashed the update zip to the latest oreo release and all my data was still there. It would be interesting to know how to downgrade without getting the encryption error or losing data.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Euronymous88:
When downgrading to RB8...just flash BL, AP and CP with auto reboot turned off in Odin...then reboot into recovery and flash the update zip.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] chakra:
Yes, when you load up Odin, under the CSC tab use "home CSC file" and it doesnt wipe your phone.

---------- Post added at 10:28 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:20 AM ----------

Just use home CSC, then it will give an error , if you wait a minute it will boot directly into Recovery and you flash the update.zip I have updated the last two updates in about 10 minutes with no loss of data...

OH remove security adn your fingerprints before the update, every time. that may cause an issue if not removed.

---------- Post added at 10:29 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:28 AM ----------

When I did it, it boots into recovery on its own after the odin flash. (while starting back up, shows error , then goes to recovery)
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] herandy:
I'm pretty sure you have to do a factory reset if you want to go back to Nougat to get rid of the authentication thingie! But fortunately, no wipe is needed for upgrading to Oreo.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] fireguy0306:
Makes me wish for days of a ClockworkMod or TWRP backup to restore to to go back to Nougat nice and easy. Too bad I like Samsung Pay and other Knox items to even consider it.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] GibMcFragger:
Man, is Live Focus Sloooooooowv and choppy on both the Oreo builds.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] herandy:
Samsung Pay works perfectly!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Mr. Orange 645:
What issues will fingerprints and security cause? I've dirty flashed my S8+ and my Note 8 several times each, downgrading to Nougat so side loaded a newer version of Oreo. Never removed fingerprints or security. Never had an issue.

Yup, when downgrading, it forces you to wipe. Haven't found a way around that yet.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] fireguy0306:
You are rooted or have a custom recovery?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] chakra:
If something happened and you were forced to reset, it can cause issues if you forget your password or have multiple factor set up and no way to confirm it.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Mr. Orange 645:
I don't use MFA. Never understood how you can forget your Google password. You have to enter it to set up the phone.

I was just curious what you meant though. It won't cause problems with the update or flash though if you don't remove it.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] yoonee:
BRA5 to BRA8, then update.zip

I'm currently on Verizon with Unlocked firmware BRA5. (N950"U1"UEU3BRA5)

If I odin to BRA8, will it wipe data? Also, if I install update.zip from BRA8, will it wipe data?

I want to be sure before I do this. Thx guys in advance!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] chakra:
When using Odin in the CSC part you will have two choices in the BRA8 zip if you use the one that says HomeCSC then it does not wipe if you use the CSC it does.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] darkjedi:
Read the thread. It's not that hard.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] shag_on_e:
I don't think you even need HOME_CSC . Just flashing AP, BL, and CP is all you need, and with auto reboot turned off in Odin you'll hold volume down and power until it restarts, then quickly switch fingers to volume up, Bixby button, and power to boot into recovery and flash the latest update.zip.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] chakra:
If you use home CSC it will boot into recovery automatically. Just takes a minute.

Do you have to do a factory reset before applying this update?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Venom0642:
It will automatically wipe your phone so no need to factory reset.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Mr. Orange 645:
I don't know! I didn't do it on purpose, LOL.

I've been dirty flashing back to BRA8 and then applying the OTA since CRAF, I believe. So it's entirely possible there's some software issues going on.

Once the official hits, I'll do a complete clean install.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Venom0642:
Well for every update since day 1 of Oreo i have done a clean install and used my data backup, So i am assuming since you dirty flashed that there's and app or something causing your battery drain.
