I'm on CRA9, gear s2 classic paired fine AFTER I downloaded gearplugin, not gear app, apk from apk site. that is not in rom and won't download from server. I can't get Gear VR to work, even after downloading all required apks, it network errors on setup trying to download files, have not figured out how to bypass. All this I am sure is from rom not being certified, and what phone shows as in build.prop, google has it as a Galaxy Note 8 now, not a N950U as before.

What I noticed so far:

Wifi sucks, slow as hades.

apps randomly installing...linked in, Final fantasy, pinup? empires something... WTheck on that.

went to sleep last night with nothing running, all apps closed, and woke up to pandora playing. not sure there.

other than that all good so far.

So, s6 edge plus are on bootloader v4?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] _Dennis_:
Yes.....but it's a different bootloader then the note 8, it is an S6 bootloader. 1 is the bootloader the phone ships with, 2 is the next one, 3 the one after that. TheS6 had nothing to do with the note 8 bootloader.

I have CRA9 no issues but for me nougat feels better
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Mr. Orange 645:
Interesting. What about it feels better?

Too bad you went with CRA9, though. Thats why I'm still on CQLB. I still have the option of going back to Nougat.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] JonathanRAZ:
Maybe its me or maybe not the speed and sot for me was better on nougat always 6 30 h or 7 h now i get 5 30 h

Yeah it was just me i knew what would happen when flashing CRA9 but well hehe

Yeah you are perfectly fine

Really tire of CRA9, totally regret updating to it. BUt I guess thats how flash addicts roll...
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Mr. Orange 645:
I've noticed battery life on CQLB isnt as good as Nougat. Still lasts me all day though, and I'm always on my phone. Ask my wife, LOL.

I feel like it is smoother and snappier than Nougat, but thats just me. I'm sorry yours feels slower.

Any of the "CR" builds have been bootloader 3, so far. So unfortunately, any that begin with CR (or the Nougat BR build) can not be downgraded.

Are you having issues with CRA9? Or are you just itchijlng to flash something else?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] DubSolo:
Very annoying issues with CRA9. Can't even use wifi without it constantly disconnecting and extremely slow speeds.

Please elaborate
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Wacky2bakky:
Now how did ya do that?!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] pcriz:
Bricked. As in it won't turn on or your can't get into download mode?

This why I hate people using the term "bricked", because bricked is just that it does nothing there is no interface.

Now we gotta ask what kind of brick or what are the details.

Anyways, third time's the charm, gonna share some details?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] themisterwilson:
Yeah, I think its pretty hard to actually turn your device into a paperwieght nowadays..

I really bricked my Epic 4g Touch back in the day when CWM new "touch" recovery jacked it up..

But now, do some nerdy research and make sure j know what I'm doing with my $1000 pocket supercomputer lol

With the lack of content in the post stating why it is assumed it is bricked, it is hard to say.

Dude didn't brick his phone, lol.

Also, to those who are saying their phone reboots once a day. I noticed that but found out in settings thr auto reboot was turned on for a particular time of day. Turned it off and all is well. CRA2.

Which one the most stable Oreo version?

---------- Post added at 04:23 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:22 AM ----------

Which is the most stable Oreo version please
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] pcriz:
For me it was the one that ends in B, and if it isn't stable at least you can flash back.

Otherwise I have seen folks with and without issues on every cra build.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] _Dennis_:
Naw, that's not even soft bricked.

Mine is medium bricked, can't use it but I can get to download mode. I'll be able to fix it once an update is available but Odin with an updated bootloader.

Hard Brock = only fixable at a repair shop usually with new parts.

Soft bricked = fixable by loading the correct software.

Medium bricked = somewhere between there other two?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] tserv95:
Does flashing this prevent OTA's?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] pcriz:
I always took bricked as dead. No medium dead, no dead lite. Point of no return
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] _Dennis_:
I think of it on a sliding scale. Someone who soft bricked their device might not know how to fix it, so to them it is dead, but it can be fixed so it's not fully dead. Plus we land a vocabulary for something that is in my situation, my phone is useless (in fact I let the battery run down to see if I have a phone effected by the 0% but since if I didn't is know, and if I did I have a valid reason I need a new phone) but I know I can give it some time in the (hopefully) near future.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Nick281051:
People have used the term brick as a sliding scale but it's really not. If you brick your device that means there's no coming back and it's a brick. Soft bricking isn't actually a thing (I have used the term before but realized that it's not a thing)

Cool, thanks Mr. Word police.

Language is fluid and words take meaning when the population uses the word to communicate that meaning.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Nick281051:
Thanks for the snarky response. All I was trying to do is help cut down on confusion as displayed in this thread. If you have to ask what kind of brick someone has then that adds to the confusion. If brick only means one thing then we wouldn't have this many people asking this many questions

https://twitter.com/koush/status/950456421123944450

This isn't me being the word police, all I was trying to do was help. You're free to use whatever language you want.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] _Dennis_:
And if the I was spent only one way then there would be fewer spelling errors.

If tweeting was only something birds did then there would be less confusion.

Since is nearly impossible to hard brick a device (there is very few cases where a phone is completely unrecoverable) we don't really need a word for it. Just my opinion, I let the group decide (and it seems for better or worse most have decided that brick = my phones currently not working).

Edit: if theory ment a testable hypothesis with data to back 8t up and evidence on it's side like it does to scientists instead of a guess like it does to most people there would be much less confusion on a wide number of scientific topics. But the people use words as they see fit, even if it makes no sense.

If you flash this leaked firmware then, No, you won't be able to get OTA s. This isn't an official build so they won't release an OTA to get off of it. You.. will have to use ODIN.

I thought CRAB was the latest leak?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Nick281051:
Samsung.firmware.science says CRA9 unless I'm reading the website wrong which is certainly possible
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Mr. Orange 645:
Let me search thr thread. Could've sworn someone posted a link to CRAB. But I also have an S8+ on Oreo, and I sometimes get the two threads mixed up.

Someone posted that CRAB had been released, but the link they posted seems to be dead, or at least I cant access it
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] kurrupt_1:
I see 3CRAD as the latest.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] LordGeek:
And where are you seeing that at ?

Latest I see from https://samsung.firmware.science/ is 2BQL5 to 3CRA9 !

The 3CRAD that I listed before was from http://fota-cloud-dn.ospserver.net/firmware/VZW/SM-N950U/version.test.xml .. which currently shows 3CRAD .. however, it's no where to be found.

Okay so CRA9 is awesome! If you have mobile data issue like me go to reset then do reset network settings. All good now! :) Super stable so far. Not really noticing any difference in battery life. I have noticed it boots a little faster. New wallpapers pretty awesome too. Since I"m using Cricket I haven't got any bloatware pushed to my phone so it's running just like it was when I was using the N950U1 firmware that came with phone. Only thing I'm noticing is Samsung's Smart password stuff doesn't seem to work just yet. Can't wait for final release :)

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] pcriz:
Ooh lawd..

All these leaked builds don't stack. They all require you to be on BQL5
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] ultimatepump:
So, we had to be on bql5 to get to cra9 and now why can't we go to the next level up?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] pcriz:
Because you are loading internal test builds.

You are on a new bootloader now that you flashed the CRA build and as a measure to protect your device you cannot roll back the bootloader i.e. flash a bootloader 2 firmware.

They don't design the ota for bootloader 3 (which you are on) because no one taking the ota they create will be on bootloader 3.

So now you have to wait for an official ota and the subsequent Odin files..
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] ultimatepump:
Ok, that's cool but isn't this newest update on the new bootloader just like cra9?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] NightHawkUndead:
You will NOT be able to use the update. Until official is released, you are stuck. This has been said 76 times in this thread.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] JCahill33:
Just curious - in the event you wanted to install CRAD - you'd have to flash back to BQL5, then flash CRAD? Also - when the official OTA is released...assuming that samsung.firmware.science will have it?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] ultimatepump:
Ok. Never mind. You have to be obnoxious. All I said was if I'm on bootloader 3 already why wouldn't the same bootliader update. All I'm trying to do Is get Gear VR to work and that's it. I'll just wait.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] pcriz:
Yeah but it's not made to install from the newest bootloader. It's made to install from that blq5 or whatever it's called..

Which you can't roll back to. So whether you flashed cra2 through nine. And now for the guys flashed the new new jaunt, we are all stuck on the CRA build we flashed.

Don't collect 200 don't pass go
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] ultimatepump:

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] pcriz:
You absolutely cannot go back from whatever CRA build to BQL5, there is no way.

Which also means there is zero way for you to update to any other leaked build.

As it's been stated more than a few times. You are stuck until the Odin files are dropped with the official ota..
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] D_VIN_GADO:
People....read the the first post in the thread, once you update from BQL5 to ANY OF THE BOOTLOADER 3 OREO INTERNAL TEST OTA'S YOU CAN NOT, I REPEAT, CAN NOT REVERT BACK TO AN OFFICIAL NOUGAT BUILD (OR OREO, WHICHEVER COMES FIRST.) UNTIL OFFICIAL ODIN FILES ARE RELEASED WITH BOOTLOADER 3. THE REASON WHY HAS BEEN EXPLAINED NUMEROUS TIMES IN THIS THREAD. READ THROUGH IT.

TL;DR: Not good practice to "Flash first and ask questions later. "

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] D_VIN_GADO:
There should be another Nougat release before official Oreo, which should be on BL3 which in turn would allow you to ODIN back to Nougat if you choose to. No guarantees though.

I'm a little confused. Not about the process, but more about the firmware version. This came from the ATT servers from what I understand, but I see people on VZW, Sprint, and T-Mo flashing it. Is this the unlocked OREO firmware, or is a carrier version of the firmware?

I have a Verizon Note 8 running T-Mobile firmware on T-Mobile. I don't care to run the unlocked firmware, since I can't really tell much of a difference between it and the T-Mobile firmware, but I don't want to get stuck with ATT bloatware, nor do I want to inadvertently flash the ATT CSC.
