Believe it or not, it worked. I was able to flash USERDATA from T-Mobile CRL1 software on top of beta ZSC2. The phone booted and seems to be working fine however it did factory reset my device. WiFi calling seems to be present as well.

One thing I've noticed so far is that even though the chat settings are present in the messaging app, they don't seem to work.

Also, my wife has been complaining all morning about getting every text I send her twice... LMAO... I hope that sorts itself sooner than later...

To be totally honest with you, if this doesn't work out then I will for sure just be flashing back to T-Mobile CRL1 and waiting for the OTA update to Pie. I had planned on using the beta 3 until the Odin files dropped and then just flashing it but I can't deal with every text I send getting delivered twice. That's a pretty big problem.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discuss] kangi26:
Well, at least you are getting your point across? :cyclops:

I'm surprised it worked!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discuss] nukesnooper:
Thanks for the update. I didn't know that they were back in business. Bought it. I disabled Security Update Downloads, and Software Download. I'm guessing that this is all I really need to keep the annoying messages at bay?

Thanks again.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discuss] pdaddy:
You can also try AutoNotification in the play store. It won't stop the update from running in the background, but it will intercept the notification.

I've found it to be helpful for apps that like to take up space in the drop down notification panel that you can't get rid of, like when using Adguard, there is always a VPN notification.

Lol.. as much as it kills me, I Odin'd back to CRL1 oreo today.

These betas all have their own different sets of issues and frankly I just want my only phone to work like it's supposed to.

Time to be frustratingly patient and just wait...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discuss] phillthedrill:
It must be the stock messaging app because I have Google Voice and use Hangouts to send messages and they don't get sent twice. I'm on Beta 3 of the unlocked version.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discuss] dharvey4651:
I think it's just buggy beta software. I had my fun. Now I'll just be patient and wait for the update. It can't be too far off now...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discuss] dharvey4651:
So I know this thread is for the AT&T Note 8 but this was taken from the T-Mobile support forum.

Might mean other carriers will get the update around the same time.

Yay. Still another week......
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discuss] MaStA819:
I'm considering switching to T-Mobile. Does anyone know if I can/should flash a T-Mobile ROM? Will I lose any features? Will I still be able to do OTA updates through T-Mobile? Thank you in advance.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discuss] XxNamelessForeverxX:
I believe once the Odin files are online, it doesn't matter which carrier's ROM you flash as it goes by the Sim in your phone. Example: I myself have flashed AT&Ts Odin files and others even though I have a Verizon Note 8. It always loads Verizon's bloat no matter what ROM I flash.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discuss] phillthedrill:
Yeah, he's right....once you have the ODIN files, it won't matter. I have Verizon but I have put the AT&T update on my phone when I had OREO in the past (I'm using beta 3 of PIE right now) and it installed all the Verizon bloat.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discuss] kireflow90:
Apparently when you talk to at&t now asking about any information for the pie update they take your IMEI number and claim they are pushing it to your device. Said I'll get it in 24 hours lol

By the time it comes out, I'll have my Note 10.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discuss] gho5t82:
Right? I'm getting very impatient and think about getting the s10+ everyday but I'm afraid I won't like it as much as my note
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discuss] XxNamelessForeverxX:
No... You wanna wait until the Note 10 comes. Believe me, from what I've read, it will be even better than the S10 line, including the 5g variant... It will be worth the wait..
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discuss] dharvey4651:
I had the same thoughts... seriously considered the S10+ but after reading the rumored specs about the Note 10, I refuse to buy the S10+ until all rumors are either squashed or become fact... I want to see what the Note 10 has to offer before deciding. With the exception of battery life, my Note 8 is still a great phone. And the battery life WILL get better with the Pie update when it comes. And contrary to popular belief lately, IT IS coming.

Like I said on the T-Mobile support forum, I would much rather wait for a stable release after having tested all six beta versions and finding them all to be buggy. I use my phone a lot and stability is very important to me.

Dunno if this would flash to other devices as sprint is CDMA but if this would work for other carriers, I'm sure everyone would appreciate a mirror that doesn't take 20 years. I would do it but I don't have access to a computer right now.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discuss] KLPFL:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discuss] dharvey4651:
Like I said... 20 years lol...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discuss] Venom0642:
Yes will work for any carrier.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discuss] dharvey4651:
And it will install the "bloat" from whichever carrier's sim card is installed correct? Even if Sprint's USERDATA and CSC files are flashed to the device?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discuss] kireflow90:
would we get ota updates from AT&T if we flashed this?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discuss] dharvey4651:
Theoretically, if this is the same version AT&T releases, yes. If they release anything else then you won't
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discuss] kangi26:
Yes, it installs the "carrier specific" bloat based on who your SIM is registered. Thats part of the reason why you see the size of the USERDATA file
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discuss] kangi26:
When I get home this evening, I'll set up a mirror for the firmware

if I have a tmo N950U but i've been running the beta after converting to N950U1, what is the best way to convert back to N950U?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discuss] dharvey4651:
Just flash the ODIN files for the N950U. Make sure you DO NOT use the HOME_CSC file. Use the other one.

You could easily just download the Sprint PIE ODIN files from one of the links posted here in this thread and flash them. That would work too. It should automatically detect your carrier and flash the appropriate settings/apps with it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discuss] donelwero:
Correct me if Im wrong guys.

I have a N950U1 using the latest beta, if I want to use the ODIN files just released do I have to go back to a prior N950U firmware so I can flash this one? If so, what N950U version should I go back to?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discuss] dharvey4651:
Yes. Many people have already done this :cool: Just flash the Sprint ODIN files linked a few posts back. I flashed them to my T-Mobile Note 8 and they work perfectly.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discuss] GoSooners345:
Three questions here regarding Sprint's OTA over odin:

1. Can this be flashed over DRL7 without bricking or bootlooping it?

2. Will this wipe the internal storage (internal sdcard) when I flash it?

3. How's the battery on the ROM since its release
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discuss] dharvey4651:
1. Yes but use CSC, not HOME_CSC

2. Yes using CSC and USERDATA will wipe your device all but external SD card

3. Too soon to tell. Just came out today from what I can tell.

It is very smooth though. Backed up with Smart Switch before flashing and then restored. Everything seems to be as you would expect it to be.

They even updated Good Lock and added a feature where you can move the clock back to the top right corner. Made my damn day... lol... I hated having the clock in the top left because every time I looked at my phone I would think I had a notification.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discuss] kangi26:
And I would add that I would NOT recommend doing a dirty flash coming from DRL* or from any of the Beta firmwares. There are going to be enough differences (some bugs) that you will want to make sure you have eliminated.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discuss] kangi26:
I added a link in the OP (post 2) to the Pie Odin files
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discuss] pdaddy:
Confirmed. Flashed on AT&T Note 8.

Unchecked reboot in Odin (thought I read that somewhere). Wiped phone. Went to download mode. Skipped user data. Flashed.

Unplugged cable. Held down power, volume down, and home to reboot. Started to upgrade. Failed at 32%. Same thing happened on my son's Note 8. I believe it then goes to recovery and shows an error. On recovery screen I selected reboot.

AT&T boots up. Seems to be running fine on both of ours.

Also all AT&T bloat is included. Yay
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discuss] kangi26:
On a total side note (Pun intended) from the topic a page or 2 back.

I actually did go to the S10+, but I did it as a stop over to the N10. Samsung gave me $550 trade-in for my N8 (WAY more than I was going to be able to sell it for), so I got into the S10+for $450, and will likely get that amount or more when the N10 is released.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discuss] GoSooners345:
Does USERDATA Go in CP?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discuss] Venom0642:
No it goes in USERDATA.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discuss] kangi26:
CP goes into the CP slot. The only one you wont use it the HOME_CSC
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discuss] dharvey4651:
Not a bad idea but I'm not trying to switch phones like that. I got official pie now and my battery life already seems to be better and I'm sure that after a few days it'll be better still. That was really my only gripe with Oreo on this phone.

I may still end up getting the S10+ 5G but I'm holding out to see what the Note 10 has to offer first. I'll buy whichever I feel suits my needs better based on specs and features. I've become pretty loyal to the Note line of phones though so I'll need to weigh my decision carefully.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discuss] kangi26:
I'm planning on sticking with the Note line too. This was purely a stop gap to get as much as I could for the N8, because I KNOW the N10 is going to be stupid expensive and I know I wont be able to stop myself.......
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discuss] prican25:
Ah, nice to be back on the AT&T bloat lol but at least WiFi calling is back on my N950U1

I was on beta 3 and just ODINed everything with HOME_CSC without USERDATA and everything with Verizon is back on without wiping anything. Was there a reason some were saying not to use HOME and to wipe everything?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discuss] dharvey4651:
Well my spoiled daughter is getting a hand-me-down Note 8 so I can't get rid of it. :p

Coming from a beta, doing a dirty flash without wiping could retain some of the bugs from the beta software. A clean install is always recommended unless it is an OTA from your carrier.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discuss] GoSooners345:
I had struggled to get it to flash until I unchecked everything in Odin B. I got it working now. Battery could use some taming

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discuss] kangi26:
You'll get AT&T OTA. All of the US carriers are releasing the same build numbers, so when the next OTA drops, you'll already be on stock.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discuss] MaStA819:
Pie is working great for me including AR Emoji. I havent fiddled with Odin on this device in quite a while so if something isnt working right you might want to do a full reset.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discuss] jack man:
I usually factory reset before or after I take an OTA up to a new version of Android just to get a clean start in case there are conflicts.

But... I didn't this time just because I was on my way to bed and I need my current setup for work this week. I just let it update what I was running as is. So far, no issues at all. I can tell the battery is draining a bit faster than usual, but I know that will correct itself after a few cycles. I'm liking Pie so far.

Yes, and also USERDATA.....this will wipe the phone and you'll be starting fresh on PIE. Otherwise, if you do what you put in the above with HOME_CSC and without using USERDATA, you might have some bugs, but it shouldn't wipe it. Factory reset if you wipe it usually.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discuss] Venom0642:
The reason for this AT&T server has a block so now you can't pull no more leaks from them, the leaks are on there server but they did a hughe block where you can't get no more leaks, so when Q gets leaked on AT&T server it will be blocked, basically no more leaks to pull, That's why science hasn't had nothing since December.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discuss] phillthedrill:
You can dirty flash with ODIN if you use HOME_CSC and leave USERDATA blank. It's not recommended since it can contain bugs. I dirty flash since I'm a daredevil and know I'm taking that chance. lol
