Can I flash it from stock recovery and without upgrading to beta and ...

I used odin to flash but it says "pass" and then phone restarts but nothing happened still on nougat :(
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] cyberon:
Battery is better on my S8, security updates and the overall smoothness beat "the small things", update your phone, you won't regret it.

Does anyone have any idea how to save your BT codec preference in the Developer options?

My headphones supports LDAC. It works if I select it automatically but if I disconnect them and I connect them back, the codec goes back to aptX.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] PeanutBR:
Hey wassup man, I updated mine G950FD from AQL5 to CRAP using the sdcard option. The firmware is MULTI - CSC OXM so your data and wifi will work normally. I just can't tell you about Samsung Pay cuz I don't use it my bad.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Suigan:
Thanks man. Samsung Pay was a minor concern, glad it has no problem with wifi and mobile data, will upgrade asap.

Question

Hi guys. So, as far as I understood, this is literally an official update - meaning I should receive further OTAs from my carrier after installing? Also, would I (and how, please) be able to just roll back to the original Nougat I've had previously (out of the box) and forget I installed this update until I officially receive it from my carrier? Thank you.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] PeanutBR:
Yes it is an official firmware so your Knox won't be trigged and will still get the OTA updates. Now about downgrading you can use ODIN to flash the nougat firmware.

So before updating your phone to Oreo be sure that you downloaded the firmware that you are using now, so you can flash it.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] starforsakenx:
Hi, thank you for your reply. I've flashed the Oreo update using ODIN. Works fine, surely is faster than my Nougat. However, my battery wouldn't last more than 7-8 hours, which is a dissappointment. "Samsung Members" (for Europe) wouldn't recognise my device as well. No further issues as of now. Hopefully will receive an update from my carrier which fixes all this.

PS Google Play is working fine, I can also buy apps, etc.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] henklbr:
You flashed the Oreo-update using Odin?

How did you manage that? Because: the CURRENT official Odin-version can't handle the LZ4-files!

Exclusive: Samsung stops Galaxy S8 Android 8.0 release, new version being developed

Samsung started rolling out the much-awaited Android 8.0 Oreo update for the Galaxy S8 and the Galaxy S8+ last week. As promised, the update was first released to members of the beta program before it was rolled out to non-beta devices earlier this week. The update had only been sent out in a handful of markets but in a rather unexpected turn of events, Samsung has stopped the Galaxy S8 Android 8.0 Oreo update release....

More info: SamMobile
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] clamitas:
No, Odin doesn't support the LZ4 files, so you need to unpack the .tar.md5, extract the files from the LZ4-files and repack them again.

[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] jackdowsonuk:
Hi,

I'd just like to say a massive thanks to all those that helped me with my S8 - Oreo is now installed, everything is certified (yes, you told me so!) and its all running well.

Just a quickie question though, I have had a look in the connection settings and can see that wifi calling is missing. That's something that I use a lot here as my signal can sometimes be a bit ropey. I heard something about flashing the H3G CSC on top, but I'm not entirely sure how that could work, as they would mismatch with the build?

Some final help will be much appreciated!

Again thanks so much for the help, it's been amazing!

-Jack

Well the CRAP firmware deserve his name lol
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] InfantryMarc:
Samsung pulled the update. So if you have it now, cool. If not just wait. I imagine it's because of the issues everyone is having. Myself, I had random reboots all the time and she card issues. But I'm back on bq1 and no issues.

I did a upgrade then factory wipe.

Solved

Found the Special Access menu in the Apps section of settings.

See screenshots. In the Apps section, on right hand top corner are three dots. The drop down menu has a Special Access section, at the bottom of which is the Install unknown apps setting, which is by default turned ON for File and Samsung Internet - which were the apps I used to install some APKs.

[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] apatch:
So in my case CRAP made my most important app - native phonecall app useless, picking a contact from a list and waiting to actually starting a connection takes at least 30-60 sec ! How they could f*uck up it so badly ?

At start (30 sec) I don't even know if it's already starts a call or is lagging, making this thing even more useless.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] lamecus:
Hi there, I have a S8FD, updated via OTA (lucky...or note) to CRAP, and I have the same (and only tought!!) problems as you, regarding starts a call ...

In my opinion, the battery life as been improved with 8.0 (about 3-4 hrs overall gain).

What version of the keyboard does everyone have? I'm on 3.0.01.45 and it is missing the Gif option. Using gboard in the stock messages app will work for adding the gif, but for some reason when it sends it's messed up.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] emm3t:
OK. Running the current official release of Oreo before it was pulled.

When I activated maximum power saving my secondary WhatsApp account (running as a second account) was disabled once I returned to normal power mode.

There was no way to recover the app since there was no way to undisable the app. Even after resetting app preferences.

I had to uninstall the second instance of the app through the dual messenger preferences and then reinstall it.

Pretty shoddy work Samsung...
