You should go here and explain your situation on Oreo for Substratum.

I have the same issue, emailed developer's got nothing, every reboot no matter how many times I apply goes back to stock, but adds tons of apks to device, I got the paid andromeda app as well
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Freakyd9984@gmail.com:
Hey buddy what would happen if I flashed that stock BRA8 Rom that you sent me yesterday through my stock recovery

THIS ONE SM-N950USQS3BRA8N950UOYN3BRA8.zip
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] ahenderson223:
Was the gif function removed from the Samsung stock keyboard?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Stevieboy02008:
On oreo?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] ahenderson223:
Yes
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Stevieboy02008:
No. I still have it and it works fine. Try clearing and deleting all the data for the keyboard
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] ahenderson223:
I will try that. Are you on the latest Oreo build?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Stevieboy02008:
Yes I am. Keep me posted
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Nick281051:
That won't work it's not a flashable update file you need to flash it in Odin.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] DubSolo:
Not if you hard reset the phone after it states the update has been successful. Make sure you reboot right after that before it goes into wiping the phone. Another member posted instructions on how to do so. I followed it and it worked. I'm on ATT also.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Freakyd9984@gmail.com:
I do not have a computer so therefore I am nowhere near one so that I could open back down what about is there a file out there like that that I could just flashed through my stock recovery and if so could you please point me in the right direction

Also everytime I go to apply a theme in 10 minutes it goes away and comes back to stock I have the end of Trials APK I installed that but it still doesn't do you have any advice on this
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] ahenderson223:
Will do
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] ahenderson223:
Still not showing
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Nick281051:
No you're stuck because you need a computer to flash things through Odin. You shouldn't have installed this without having a way to get back to normal.

Also are you seriously trying to get help pirating themes? Last I checked that was way against the rules of xda.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Freakyd9984@gmail.com:
No I've already addressed that sometime sent me a message and I apologized it's nothing that hasn't been posted on here so no I'm not pirating nothing , I got the end of trials from someone posting it on here that's y I asked about it. So who ever posted the end of trails apk , you can take it up with them not me
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Nick281051:
Whatever, I'm not a mod so that's not my place.

But as for your phone if you want to roll back you need to find yourself a computer you can run Odin on and be prepared to wipe your phone
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Venom0642:
Your other option is go to Best Buy and go over to Samsung in there they can flash you back to Nougat.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Freakyd9984@gmail.com:
Cool I didn't I've that thank you so much.. it's not that I'm having a problem with this Oreo build because I've been running it ever since yesterday and I have no problem whatsoever with it my only problem is I want to customize it to look like my nougat do you know if there is a thread or they make APK files or overlays besides using substratum here is what I wanted to look like as far as the status bar in the clock position I can I use substrate them because it will not let me purchase the add-on key at all and I've tried several different credit cards and tried billing AT&T and it just will not let me purchase it I've been going through this for months now with that so if you know where I can find more apks for Oreo I sure would appreciate it so much but yes it's working smooth as ever

That's the nougat and I've tried installing all the apks that I still have on my phone but I guess since I'm on Oreo they do not work at all they will say installed but nothing shows up after I reboot my phone
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] jcrompton:
Lol .... It was probably me that posted

But if you just "flash" and don't reboot right at the perfect time it wipe your data and I think other carriers that just flash (without knowing the secret handshake) don't maybe hey the wipe
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] PrinceVincey:
My data has not wiped on my TMO Note 8 yet when using Odin. I dirty flash everytime there is a new build on Samsung.firmware.science.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Axellent33:
I've had it!!

I'm done waiting for Samsung. I've been reading that this Oreo version got all certifications and everything is working hunky-dory, so I will be installing it right now. Quick question, my N950U1 has NO CARRIER BLOAT WHATSOEVER. NONE! I bought it straight from Samsung and use it with Verizon. Should I skip the HOME_CSC in Odin if I don't want any carrier ****, let alone AT&T, in my device? Or is that not important, since BRA8 is just a vessel for Oreo.

I'll be waiting for an answer to this and then I'll procede with the upgrade.

Thanks

Does it have the blue messager dont know why but I want it
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] GibMcFragger:
Are you currently running BRA8? If you are, then flash away.

If you aren't, then you need to ODIN to BRA8 first.

Is anyone's play store certified on the new build? Mine was certified on CRBB but now it's not again

Did you try clearing data in the app? That worked for others on crbb
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] jbreaz:
Yeah I tried that and it didn't work

That's the file I flashed from that thread so it must be.

Did you do a factory wipe? I did I can't seem to get it going.....
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] RyanNSkolnick:
Gear VR still doesn't work. Is this just a matter of Samsung not updating the VR app for Oreo yet?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] LordGeek:
3CRBB is NOT the final build .. it is the only one so far that has been Certified with Play Store. All the builds that have been posted in this thread are ALL leaks from the AT&T server. The article is a little misleading .. but it does not say anywhere that 3CRBB is the final build.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] FilthyFord:
I'm not a heavy user. But here is my battery stats
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Freakyd9984@gmail.com:
Hey Venom I've been on 3CRBB and you have been the only one helping out now I see they're is another update if I'm not mistaking if that's the case can you post the download link going from 3CRBB to whatever the new one is I'd appreciate it a lot, also If their is a new update can I just flash it through my stock recovery thank u for your help , by the way I've had 3CRBB RUNNING VERY VERY SMOOTH NO PROBLEMS
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Mr. Orange 645:
See, your post is more believable because it's in bold, and has a red word for emphasis.

Yup, you're right. It's not the final build (CRC1 was just released), and it MAY not be the official. But certification is a big step. Who know? All I know is CRABBY runs great for me and has given me good battery life on T-Mo. I'd be happy if it was the official build.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] gho5t82:
I might get flamed for this but since I'm on bra8 all I have to do is just reboot into download mode and select the update zip to upgrade? No computer nescessary?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Mr. Orange 645:
No. As of yet there is NO link for updating from CRBB to CRC1. You must use ODIN to flash back to BRA8, and then use recovery to update from SD Card to update to CRC1.

HINT: It's in the next of the file itself. Where the file name ways BRA8 to CRC1? It LITERALLY means you have to go from BRA8 to CRC1. if you read the tread...at ALL...you'd realize this question has been asked for every single update released and the answer is the exact same.

---------- Post added at 09:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:21 PM ----------

CLOSE! Reboot to RECOVERY, not download. Then choose Update from SD Card.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] NightHawkUndead:
Correct.

Except it's recovery mode, not download mode.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] gho5t82:
Thanks! I am going to give it a try!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] LordGeek:
Don't get me wrong, I'd be happy too .. but still, regardless of it having the first Certified Play Store acceptance .. the 3CRBB build was still missing items that needed to be manually installed (because Play Store still stated 'incompatible') .. Samsung Accessories - Gear S Plugin etc etc. Even with the new 3CRC1 .. these need to be manually installed.

They're getting there .. just not quite there yet ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Mr. Orange 645:

Im on the latest build, CRC1. FRESH install. Substratum doesn't seem to be working while on this version. CRBB wokred just fine, but i feel that CRC1 is a better and more battery friendly build. Anyone come across this issue? And yes, i have been using the OREO type of mods for my status bar. Thanks!

I second that. It's working great for me only if I find a way to flash and lost Verizon boot animation and Verizon bloat that's when I will flash but for now I think I'm going to sit this one out
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Mr. Orange 645:
You probably found out that with ATT when you sideload an update, it forces you to factory reset. Was just going to warn you.

As seen so far for 3CRBB and 3CRC1 .. Gear VR also.

I can not confirm this since my Gear VR was for the Galaxy S7 edge release .. Note 8 doesn't fit in it :rolleyes:

But I still had to side load Samsung Accessory and Gear S Plugin in order to get my Gear360 and Gears S 3 Frontier to connect.

You have to move the update file to your sd card then boot to the stock recovery not download mode, and install update from your sd card. For best results boot back into the stock recovery and wipe your phone, but you will lose all your data so make sure you back everything up first. Pictures, contacts, docs ect.

So here is my question. If I got back to my original BRA5 U1 firmware which is my original unlocked one then flash BRA8 without home at all. Basically the AP and BL then go to Oreo would I end up with Verizon boot animation and bloatware? Any advice will help

Because for me I like the Oreo keyboard and some other things but miss my Samsung caller ID and other stuff. Basically trying to have the best of both worlds.

Thank you for any suggestions
