Has anyone noticed that Samsung account is removed on CRC2 for Verizon? Had it when it was still beta....
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] kurrupt_1:
With April security patch.

Here's a screenshot as proof. I'm on official crc2 from Verizon. Samsung account was not removed.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] avengethis1:
sorry i should have specified what i meant. under back up and restore. I was able to restore stuff and backup data using my samsung account. that seems to have disappeared. which i am not very fond of because that had alot of my contacts.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Bone_Enterprise:
Why are you not saving your contacts to your google account if they are that important?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Venom0642:
Use Smart Switch it backs up on to sdcard contact, mms, homescreen, apps etc etc.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] avengethis1:
because only verizon blocks samsung backup.... i came from tmobile and when i got my VZW note 8 it went straight to unlocked firmware.

Edit:

figured it out. followed steps listed here https://xdaforums.com/verizon-galaxy-s8+/how-to/guide-samsung-cloud-verizon-galaxy-s8-s8-t3703622

Maybe I'm missing something but I have the Verizon Note8 and was on the unofficial crc4. I used odin to flash bra8 so I could try to ota to the official oreo. When my phone rebooted and the encryption PIN comes up it keeps giving me an incorrect pin error when I enter my pin. I've tried rebooting the phone but still getting the error. Is there any other option other than a factory reset and loosing all my files?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] gregcapps:
If you used Odin to bra8 (which is the wrong build for Verizon) you've already lost your files probably.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] dwertz:
If you go back to the the Oreo that you were on, it will not ask for the pin. I am not sure but if you decrypt from there then it may not when going back. I am going to try, I am backing up my stuff right now.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Giebnatious:
too late, I went to crc2 and it wiped it clean. oh well. now I'm trying to get the official brb1 so I can see if I can get the oreo ota...

Just to verify I only need the BL, AP, CP files when using odin correct?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] spjetrovic:
Can some one be kind and tell me if I'm on unofficial crc2 and would like go back to stock VZW to take Oreo update what should my steps be ?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Stevieboy02008:
Odin to the latest Verizon official 7.1.1 and take the update from there. That's what I'm doing later today
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] spjetrovic:
Thanks Stevie for helping Steve ? what would be the best place to download the official 7.1.1 VZW?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Giebnatious:
Which files do you extract and use in odin though? Just the BL, AP and CP?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] dardares:
Official OTA will be there this Monday for Canadian Note 8. Build number will be CRC2.

And if you want to fully wipe flash all 4 if not then the ones you mentioned will be fine. But I recommend flashing all 4 that way you start fresh and set it up with no hiccups
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] marky310:
Stupid question here: I'm on sprint and flashed CRBB a month ago. Am I not going to receive an ota and need to downgrade? Or I'm on vacation in mexico and that's the reason I haven't received anything and I'm just impatient?

Battery life on CRC5 for me is amazing!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] RyanNSkolnick:
Substratum seems to be broken for me on CRC5. Andromeda script launches the app as it did before, but no overlays hold.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] fireguy0306:
Wonder if it's the way the March security updates screwed up Substratum, April may be doing it again.

CRC3 they work fine, you have to do some hoop jumping but it works
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Axellent33:
I have searched through the thread and didn't find the answer. Is CRC4 Play Store certified?

Also, can someone provide a link to BRA8 to CRC4? Tried samsung.firmware.science but it only shows up to CRC2.

Thanks

---------- Post added at 02:12 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:06 AM ----------

Just found this but I still haven't found if CRC4 is certified
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] :
CRC2 is the same version Verizon will send you OTA. There's no reason to downgrade just to upgrade back to the same build.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] note3userr:
Same on crc2. It says it's installed and everything but no changes happen besides nav buttons

I need either crc3 to crc4 or crc3 to crc5, do you have any idea where to look?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] thedrizzle:
There's no CRC3 to anything. You need to go back to BRA8, then do BRA8 > CRC2 > CRC4, then CRC4 > CRC5.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Ryano89:
That's a bummer. I'll probably just wait awhile then since I'm not having any problems

crc3 doesn't go to any go to 4 or 5. You have to take the route back to 2.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] gregcapps:
Is crc5 certified and does it pass safety net?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Jay5583:
CRC5 is not certified. I don't have safety net to test.

I have to say that I am loving CRC5. I didn't like CRC3 or CRC4. This build feels solid...kinda the way CRC2 did. Very fluid even with dirty flashing ?

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] gregcapps:

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Venom0642:
May effect some Google apps to not work and no AT&T OTA, that's about it.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] gregcapps:
Well, I'm on Verizon, but yeah I get the no official OTA thing. I really liked crc4. May be worth it. I went back to stock to get official ota from Verizon but battery does not seem great on crc2

An I the only one dealing with bug after bug on the official build? This is ridiculous. First my device couldn't find my location. Then the weather widget kept disappearing. Then the quick settings would get stuck pulled down and now all my notifications are silenced even though I'm on vibrate
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] gregcapps:
Sounds like you need to factory reset. I've seen none of that. Only thing I've noticed is sometimes weather won't update and says service temporarily unavailable.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] note3userr:
I did a factory reset right after the update
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] gregcapps:
That's odd. Haven't seen those problems at all
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] note3userr:
Well the location is good now. The weather widget I disabled and I'm using a different launcher. My only issue is the notifications being silenced now . A restart fixes it but a restart also kills my substratum theme

Hey guys

Hello guys I'm new here but I have a good question can anybody tell me about the CRBB build it works well with me when the official build comes out can I simply ota by using the update setting manually when it comes out or do I have to take it back to stock ?

This a kinda off topic, but does Samsung account backup text messages? I've noticed that when I restore my phone, almost all my messages are duplicated. I'd like to figure out where the duplicates are coming from....
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Venom0642:
I do it with Smart Switch all my data and mms text and there's no duplication.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] gregcapps:
Well I'm wondering if having samsung, google. And Verizon backup is the issue.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] :
Yes. Google doesn't backup messages, but both Verizon and Samsung do. Same case with call log/phone history. You can either let both keep backing them up and full restore from both accounts, or turn off message and call log backups in one or the other to avoid duplicates going forward.

FYI, by default Verizon keeps a copy of all your messages online on their servers to support the web-based texting interface. Even without "backing up" your texts from your device, you will be able to sync the last 90 days or so from their servers when you open Verizon Messenger for the first time after a factor reset or on a new device.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] gregcapps:
Actually google backup app data which says it may include messages.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] dizidi:
To take T-Mo ota you will need to odin back to the official T-Mo 7.1 firmware which is BRA9. ATT is BRA8.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] VacMech7:
