If you were on Pie, I also ran into a problem when I tried to get back to stock. Doing a factory reset should help. And yes, if it doesn't, you can Odin again
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discuss] kireflow90:
Thanks, the factory reset from the recovery worked. Just a pain to set the phone back up lol
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discuss] kangi26:
Yeah, it is a pain. It's CLEAN;)

Looks like u1 is about to get beta 2. There's another Z build showing. Hasn't been pushed yet though.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discuss] kangi26:
Personally, I give it maybe another week. Even with the S10 official announcement, they seem to sit on those (IF they release it at all)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discuss] gregcapps:
Unfortunately that's true....its been 3 weeks since we got beta one. Maybe we'll get it this next week.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discuss] kireflow90:
That beta was just for unlocked us though, correct?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discuss] gregcapps:
Yeah, you could flash u1 firmware to get on the beta though.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discuss] kireflow90:
Then maybe the unlocked is just going to be a while but carrier will be out soon?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discuss] Venom0642:
Carriers are always gonna do Official OTA before unlocked.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discuss] gregcapps:
Yeah typically so. Only reason I bothered doing the u1 beta is to get an updated pie. If Verizon pushes pie later this month, I'll drop out of beta.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discuss] kireflow90:
Everytime I check for updates it says it's up to date without checking the server. I've cleared the cache on both update apps but it still doesn't check the server. Am I doing something wrong? Trying not to physically change the date
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discuss] kobmays89:
I dont believe it has been released yet
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discuss] kireflow90:
I know but it's been doing it ever since I down graded back to stock
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discuss] MaStA819:
It only allows you to check once every 24 hours. You have to set the date on your phone forward to check again prior to that.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discuss] Venom0642:
I said Note8 won't get Official Pie until S10 lines are out in stores.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discuss] gregcapps:
When's that? Kinda hope you're wrong though. Exynos has it already.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discuss] Venom0642:
Day after tomorrow can already preorder the S10 lines , so not sure yet when Official day goes to store, will have to see Samsung Event tomorrow.

Supposedly, but apparently some of the annoying ones are still there.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discuss] phillthedrill:
Well, damn.... I guess we'll just have to keep waiting for the official to many of the bugs taken care of....hopefully.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discuss] kangi26:
DRL7 IS Pie, but you would need to Odin back to CRK1 in order to flash it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discuss] GoSooners345:
Would I need to flash all of the files inside of the odin file to down grade updates to the CRK1 Update to update to pie?

Venom are you going to make a crc1 or 2 zip to dirty flash
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discuss] Venom0642:
If your on 3CRBB you can do a Dirty flash with 3CRBB-to-3CRC2 you just have to follow what i said how to do it and it won't wipe your data at all.

If you're asking about ZSBB, no the update.zip is not available at this time. When I get a link it'll be in post #2.

Yes ZSBB.

Hope it will be soon because I have a major bug with systemui freezing when connecting/disconecting charger and probably this update will fix it.

I wouldn't count on it, since your issue is isolated to your device. I'd recommend to do a factory reset even if the ZSBB files were available

No, it isn't. As noted in your screenshot, Smart Switch clearly states that this will Initialize/Delete your data and to backup. That "update" will revert you to Oreo as Smart Switch cannot see beta updates.

So if I was wanting to upgrade my att note 8 with current stock firmware I'd use Odin to flash N950USQS5CRK1 and then update to 5DRL7 from there, correct? Or at this point am I better off waiting for the stable rom to drop?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discuss] Steve One:
Totally up to you Sir.

I was on drl7 and it is nice but I went back to crk1 and got the January security update the next morning. Just waiting for official pie now. I really miss it. I'm on a Verizon note 8.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discuss] kireflow90:
I went back to stock too. Waiting impatiently for the stable release lol
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discuss] GoSooners345:
Bugs?

What bugs were present on DRL7 that made it a dealbreaker for you?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discuss] kireflow90:
I was on 6 but what made me go back was that some of my video streaming services would play audio but not video, like Netflix
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discuss] phillthedrill:
I'll tell you mine...

Selfie camera on the front night time the screen would turn white to take a picture....it should be a few seconds....DRL7 was up to 7 seconds. It took forever to take a night picture with the front camera unless you turned off flash! Another problem was when I plugged in the charger or unplugged from the charger, the screen wouldn't turn on. Another huge problem for me was when I pulled down the top to expose wifi, flashlight, mobile data, etc.... it was very jarring.....glitchy. Also swiping on the apps were very glitchy....they would glitch or flash a lot when swiping. I'll see if I remember anything else. I'm on the Unlocked beta version now which is more stable.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discuss] Steve One:
I really miss Dolby atmos.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discuss] kangi26:
DRL7 is not the current stock ROM. CRL1 is the current. DRL7 is the last leak of Pie for AT&T and while is really stable for daily driver use, it has a couple bugs to it. Mainly Netflix wont display (DRM issues)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discuss] kobmays89:
Also has a big with samsung DEX. Stuttering UI after disconnecting. Otherwise pretty stable
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discuss] kangi26:
I never had any issues at all when disconnecting from DeX. Actually using Dex, was the only time that Netflix would work
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discuss] jvidican:
Right. I meant I was currently on CLR1. But to get from that to the pie beta I'd need to flash CRK1, right?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discuss] kangi26:
Ah, ok then!

So (to be totally clear) If you want to get to one of the Pie

Leaks

(NOT Beta) that is Carrier based, DLR5, 6 or 7 then yes you need to be on CRK1. Keep in mind that you will NOT receive OTA on these and will have to go back to stock CRL1 to get them.

If you are wanting to be on the actual Pie Beta (ZSAB), which is based off of the Unlocked firmware you will need to see post #3 for that (You will receive OTA for the Unlocked firmware on this). Keep in mind you lose some of the Carrier features with this one. Like on AT&T, there is no Wi-Fi Calling option.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discuss] droppinbaums:
Currently on ZSAB. Is there anyway to force the ZSBB beta. I've checked for the update daily and keep searching for someone to post an update.zip, but nothing.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discuss] kangi26:
You can go into Settings>Apps>(3 Dots at the top right, Show system Apps)>Software Update(there are 2)>Storage> Clear Cache and Clear Data. Reboot, and check again.

You can also change the date on the phone itself.

Regarding ZSBB it's being rolled out in waves, apparently. And as of now, we've seen nothing on getting the update url captured, so no joy on an update.zip file. I would bet by the time we see one we'll have the actual Pie release to the carriers

Edit, oh and the ZSBB is a small incremental update, Feb Security Patch 161MB
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discuss] TecknoFreak:
Sorry to ask as this might have been asked so many times. Which is the best Pie version to install?

I tried the beta for unlocked version and it didn't work for me as I got boot loop

Thanks
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discuss] SubwayChamp:
For your words I guess that you have a branded device N950U, you can´t switch directly to the unlocked beta Pie for N950U1 to ZSAB.

To go to the branded Pie first you have to go to CRK1 Oreo and then flash DRL7.

To go to the unbranded Pie first you have to go to CRL2 Oreo and then flash ZSAB and we expect that soon will be available ZSBB to be downloaded.

Just tell you that it looks that N950U1 has fast updates.

I used both and for my needs I didn´t find difference but this will be better answered for other member so there are a lot of things that I don´t use.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discuss] kangi26:
It's a LITTLE subjective. like [MENTION=7644154]SubwayChamp[/MENTION] was alluding to.

The carrier version (DRL7) you can go to right from CRK1.

Upside - You retain the Carrier features (Wi-Fi calling is a big loss for me).

Downside - You cannot watch DRM content (Netflix etc). There's been no update to the leak for a LONG time. You will not receive the Carrier Pie OTA when it drops. You'll have to go back to CRL1 (Current stock)

The Unlocked version have to flash CRL2 then update, or sign up for the Beta program (Instructions are in Post #3)

Upside - I've seen ZERO bugs. You will get OTA updates for the N950U1

Downside - You lose all carrier features. When the official versions come out, the carriers tend to push updates faster than the Unlocked versions (I'll be going back to a carrier version as soon as it drops)

Edit*** [MENTION=3692819]TecknoFreak[/MENTION]. I've been running the U1 Beta since it dropped and it's really working great for me. I have pretty much no issues whatsoever. I'm only going to go back to the carrier version, because I miss Wi-Fi calling and AT&T drops updates more consistently than the Unlocked versions do
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discuss] SiNJiN76:
Can't wait for an update. Just restarted my phone and my navigation buttons appeared on their own. (I been using gestures with no hints)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discuss] kangi26:
My GUESS, and it is a total guess. Is we saw a little action on fota last week (although nothing has dropped yet) and since we've gotten past the S10 launch, I bet we'll see the Carriers start to drop Pie in the next couple weeks
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discuss] Venom0642:
It's exactly what i mentioned few post back.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discuss] kobmays89:
I personally can't wait for the update. My battery life is terrible on Oreo and it always has been. I know 3300mah isn't a whole lot but when I'm not even at half brightness and only get about 2hr screen time. It's getting a bit ridiculous
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discuss] Xander87:
did everything to participate in pie beta programme and update to pie beta via OTA but could not. had to flash ZSAB via adb. Anybody know will I receive OTA updates?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discuss] kangi26:
EDIT********

Sorry, I didn't read your post correctly when I responded earlier.

Since you were not able to register on the Beta Program, you will NOT be able to get OTA. You would have to update via Odin or update.zip file when/if they come available.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discuss] gregcapps:
Unless he's registered on the beta, the beta updates won't get pushed to his device.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discuss] gregcapps:
There's no Odin for ZSAB. IF you are in the official beta toy can Odin back to CRL2 then redownload the update. Or you can grab the ZSBB update in the OP that was posted today and apply that and see if it fixes the problem.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discuss] donelwero:
I had the same problem with Oreo but I was able to fix it with package disabler, I just don't remember what service to disable and there's no Samsung SMS service anymore, or is it just me?

Updated to ZSBB, still won't work.

I will try going back to CRL2. Just so I don't mess things up again. When updating from CRL2 do I need to wipe cache or anything?

Maybe sms didn't work since CRL2 and I just didn't notice.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discuss] gregcapps:
It's an upgrade, so it won't wipe.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discuss] kangi26:
Any of the updates installed via Recovery I believe will wipe, unless you choose to dirty flash. Instructions are also in post 1

When you are flashing an update.zip and see

Script succeeded: result was [/system]

Hold power and volume down at same time to shut phone off and you got a dirty flash no wipe. But you have to be fast when doing this.

Keep in mind that if you dirty flash and things start to go sideways for you, the 1st thing you'll probably want to do is a factory reset.
