[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Venom0642:
They are all the same like if you was to Odin with T-Mobile 3CRC2 on a AT&T phone it would add all AT&T stuff there's no difference in the tar files all carriers are in it so basically it would add each fix for each carrier theses phones for carriers USA is universal so you will get official OTA from them.

Which Odin are you using?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Seaboltk25:
Version 3.12.3
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] archie87:
Use this one:

https://androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=233582

Also, boot into download mode from the recovery instead of using Power down + bixby, if you aren't already.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Seaboltk25:
Can I ask how you would do that never had to boot into download mode that way
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] archie87:
Boot to the recovery by holding volume up + bixby when you power the phone on. The screen will be blue with a yellow triangle for a few seconds after it says "installing system update". When the menu appears use volume down to get to "reboot to bootloader" and then use the power button to select it.

Not Sure but it all Started S8, S8 Plus and Note 8 and S9 , S9 Plus all Odin files are universal. You couldn't do this on S7, S7 Edge below.

guess we will see when april OTA's come how phones will handle.

I think someone tried odin tmobile crc2 to the at&t crc2 note 8 and it failed saying its at the latest?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Venom0642:
This will Work for AT&T, Verizon, T-Mobile and Sprint all those carriers are on the same firmware plus You will receive Official OTA for any of theses carriers that Odin 3CRC2. if it failed someone then it was on his end could of been a Odin that had the issue, As i said the Firmware is Universal for all carriers.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] cdig:
so if you odin from 3crc2 -> 3crc2, something theoretically should happen?

What happens if you swap sims on an unlocked carrier oreo note 8? Does it automatically rebrand it to that carrier and dl the corresponding apps?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] gho5t82:
I'm still on crc1. I guess I need to get the bra8 so I can downgrade and go official.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Venom0642:
Well for and unlocked phone it will also work, but for unlocked phones it will not receive Official OTA Carriers are U unlocked is U1 they a bit different, not really sure if it will add the bloatwares that the carriers has on a unlocked U1 since i never had one , Also if you are on 3CRC2 and decided to Odin firmware 3CRC2 it will work, but wouldn't make sense in doing Odin 3CRC2 to 3CRC2 since it's the same firmware, all you would have to do on the one that you already on is factory reset.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] lildoggs:
The n950u1 version is unbranded but they always receive updates later than the carriers do. So you might have to wait for them to release that version of oreo to update. Only the n950us version has the oreo update for now.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Stevieboy02008:
You'll end up with your carrier bloatware and startup screen as there's no Oreo firmware for the XAA U1 yet. Hoping for it within the next 2 weeks or so

That's basically it, the issue is not being able to go back. If it turns out there's a major bug in one of these v4 builds, you're stuck with it for an indeterminate amount of time so it's definitely not recommended.

As long as your bootloader is U3 or below you can still root. So yes you can update to the official Oreo and not lose the option to root. Although the process may differ a little.

Nope. On the official CRC1 there's no video wallpaper option.

im curious what the unlocked oreo has to offer in terms of bloat free. From what I can tell, at least on tmobile, the only extra apps are just some tmobile stuff that I actually want to have, and also the tmobile logo on boot? It's not filled with random apps like with huawei phones.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] chrismich0206:
I have an issue maybe someone can help. I was on crc5 and I notice that phone idle was exactly the same as total battery use time. In other words I had battery usage of 3.5 hours and phone idle was 3.5 hours. It always stayed that way even though I was using my phone so it wasn't "idle". I odin'd back to crc2 with a factory reset and clear data with Odin and it is doing the same. Is this normal or do I have a problem I need to chase down?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] thedrizzle:
It is a clock, with the date underneath it.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] archie87:
You can just flash to the unlocked BRA5 then OTA to Oreo, or wait for the unlocked Oreo Odin files to drop somewhere then flash directly from N950USQU3CRC2 to N950U1UEU3CRC1.

You'll need to use PrinceComsy's Odin when flashing unlocked firmware from carrier. It still may not work according to others but you can try it. If it doesn't work you will have to flash back to BRA5 then OTA to Oreo. Also, boot into the recovery and select "reboot to bootloader" instead of volume down + bixby.
