You can flash back to Oreo, with SmartSwitch

However: your device will be RESETTED!

https://www.samsung.com/uk/support/mobile-devices/how-do-i-participate-in-beta-programme/

You can re-install software by using the PC version of Smart Switch. Once the software is re-installed, the device will be reset and all data that was generated during the Beta Program will be erased.

All data which had been backed up before installing the beta software can be recovered, but there may be limitations in recovering data that was created after installing the beta software.

Nope. Can not read, only write. It won't happen again...
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] maik005:
Just to be clear.

You have to be on the OXM Multi-CSC?!

With a provider branded firmware (OVF/ODX) it won't work, right?!
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] MeltdownSpectre:
Yes you can. They're all v2 builds, so you can flash back to Oreo if you don't like the Pie beta. However, downgrades always require a factory reset.

Never tried with anything other than OXM, but pretty sure it won't work. Vendor and CSC mismatch will cause the flash to fail as soon as it starts.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] ma_t14:
Just installed using the sdcard method and seems to be working well. One question though, will subsequent pie builds require to go back to BRJ6 to update or we just update normally from the current build?
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Piereligio:
Any folder of firmwares for standard S9?
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] MeltdownSpectre:
The next OTA will be ZRKA > Beta 2. It'll be installed the same way as you installed Beta 1. You don't need to flash back to BRJ6.

You won't get an OTA notification due to not being in the beta program.

Does anyone have issues with task changer and good lock 2018? It seems like I can't run them nor update them in the pie beta. Tried looking for the latest apk and installing them but problem remains

Task Changer & Quickstar seems to be not updated for pie one ui. Refer the screenshot attached.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] leekslk:
Interesting. I managed to update one hand operation+. Task changer remains unplugged. When I click on it. It doesn't send me to the galaxy app for an update (of which obviously I can't since I'm not within any of these beta regions). Thanks anyway though

"Unsupported OS version update needed"

*WARNING*

My collegue [MENTION=2879028]Jeshter2000[/MENTION] from SamMobile got this message on his S9+ (SM-G965F) this morning (after a reboot):

"Unsupported OS version update needed"

After this message, he couldn't use his phone anymore and was forced to downgrade back to Oreo!

He installed this week the UPDATE.ZIP of the ZRKA-build "OneUI Pie" for the S9-series!
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] MeltdownSpectre:

ZRKA IS THE LATEST ONE available!
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] KoRoZIV:
Ok, thanks; the previous posts with a failure to update let me to believe there is a newer one.

Edit: Actually I didn't read them carefully, the problem appeared after a reboot not after an update, sorry.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Incarniac:
FWIW (not much as it won't help your issue) I've rebooted my Pie without any issues (excepting Action Launcher not recognising full-screen without nav bar until I force closed it).

I was on BTU BRJ6 prior to Pie (I flashed the DBT release as it came out sooner but the actual BTU release is exactly identical in every file).
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Harthouse:
Me too! I was on BRJ6 before (with CSC selected, to wipe data) and after that, adb sideload ZRKA (XXU2 release). Have no issues til now.

[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] MeltdownSpectre:

Samsung will release a new beta once every 2 weeks.

Bugz

What bugs is everyone running into in this build? Have a few myself so far

When gesture navigation is enabled only the back button works

Night mode keeps enabling itself (4pm here if that matters)

Multitasking looks the same as 7.0 rather than the new side-by-side example i've seen elsewhere

Always On Display doesn't work for me
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] demmo81:
1- for me all the gestures are working fine with no problem

2- there is an option to disable the auto night mode - for me never happened

3- after side-loading this is what happened however after full reset (i know it's pain in the ass) it works normally with the new animation

4- its works just fine even the notifications are colored now

i think you need to fully reset the device and i did that just to be on a clean build of PIE i recommend that you fully reset it
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Cyan101:
yeah only problem with using a clean build of pie is all my 2FA **** needing to be reset ;-;

would I just flash the other CSC or do I need to wipe the phone after flashing it all?
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] stickydonkey:
I side loaded from SD Card. Did not Factory reset.

I dont have any of the issues you have mentioned except for Night mode keeps turning itself off during the day and there is no option for scheduled on/off as is mentioned in the text. I am also having an issue, but might be my company policies, with the Calendar not showing meetings. I have a work O365 and home O365 and my home one works fine, so that makes me suspect work policies. I have removed all accounts (email) and re-added but still same. I installed Microsoft Outlook (as opposed to the Samsung Email) and it sees my calendar fine... so i'm confused...

Anyway, no other issues to report, considering i have NOT factory reset, also because of my 2FA stuff.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Cyan101:
yeah looks like a fresh wipe fixed all my issues, altho I cant use google pay sadly
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] demmo81:
I sideload it normally then I reset the phone to make sure it sits properly in the phone which it is working just fine only the WhatsApp issue that I'm seeing for now ..

Does anyone know if you can get OTA updates if you sideloaded with the update.zip?

The registration just opened in the UK and i'm now on the beta programme, but I already have beta 1 installed. No OTA as of yet for beta 2
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] MeltdownSpectre:
Yes I believe you can, if the ZRKA > ZRKL OTA exists on the server, you will get an OTA for it.

However seeing as how UK never got the first beta, you'll either have to wait for the update.zip to Beta 2 or flash back to BRJ6 Oreo and then OTA directly to ZRKL.

[MENTION=389192]Huey85[/MENTION] if someone had the copy, and was a regular participant in this thread, they would have posted it.

I've asked someone for the beta ZIP already, but seeing as though capturing the OTA is a task that can only be done by advanced users, it may be some time before it becomes available.

Rest assured, as soon as I find the file, I will upload it to my AFH / MEGA folder(s) and link it here.

On the first beta someone has the home button gesture like the oneplus? That when you slide up the window follow the finger? Because on this new beta i dont have it.

The only little problem is with google assistant that has some little problems but works good.

[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Yvan12:
It was rooted yes
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] maik005:
thats the problem with root OTA Update wont work!

Because of different Recovery etc.

So, first flash the original Stock firmware from Samsung with Odin.

Then you can install the OTA Update.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Yvan12:
I have already do this. Flash stock firmware with Odin. So, is due to Knox (0x1) ? How repass to 0x0?
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] maik005:
It should work with Knox 0x1 also.

have you flashed AP, BL; CP and CSC_OXM ?

Or did you use the HOME_CSC?
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Yvan12:
I have only flash HOME_CSC
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] maik005:
thats it.

You have to use AP, BL, CP and CSC_OXM.

So the device will be newly partitioned and formated (all Data will be lost) Root will be completly removed., Knox of course is still 0x1.

But OTA should work fine then :good:
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Yvan12:

[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Yvan12:

I retry with HOME_CSC thanks. We will see. Thanks for your help.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] maik005:
Knox will always be 0x1 until you exchange your mainboard!

SHealth not workling is also normal an my be fixed with installing an old version.

OTA works?
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Yvan12:
You are the best! Thanks bro
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] ratsalad:
Once Knox has been tripped to 0x1 there's no way of going back to 0x0 ever!

Samsung Health can be got to work with Magisk and its various hiding abilities, however once Magisk is installed and your device is rooted you won't be able to install the Pie OTA...

Edit, I got beaten... ;)

Gonna be trying as soon as there's a new firmware available.

People seem to be having no luck with ARCC, and Samsung is due to release a new update on the 15-16th of this month, hopefully with the April security patches.

Will post a guide if it works out.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] MeltdownSpectre:
ARCC with ARD2 modem is now available on SamFirm using the ILO (Israel) CSC. I will not be updating the OP with this firmware since it's an insignificant change, and the OTA size was only 4 MB, so it would be pointless to get people to flash the entire 4 GB firmware.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Genebaby:
Thanks man, sounds like a plan.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] pinoy_ako07:
Sounds like a great plan. Can all of this be done without tripping Knox?
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] MeltdownSpectre:
If the procedure that I have in mind works out, then yes, KNOX will not be tripped. It only involves flashing stock files, including the Factory Binary (Combination file) which will not affect Knox in any way.

Otherwise, the CSC flasher from the S8/Note8 will be ported to the S9, but that requires TWRP and root.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] pinoy_ako07:
Thanks for the quick reply. I have read that it can be changed by tripping Knox, so if your method does work without tripping Knox I will wait

---------- Post added at 10:30 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:27 AM ----------

Is it worth waiting for the latest firmware to come out? This is what I'm hoping to achieve.

ATM I can't to do this...

Flash the latest Telstra (Australia TEL) firmware, change the csc to TEL and have my s9+ running the stock telstra firmware
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Genebaby:
