Would be awesome if somehow a BRI9 to pie alpha was found
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] dstealth97:
Hi, the U1 link still show 3ARH7. Do you know when we will see 3ARI1 or where to get it? Samfirm doesnt work on my PC and no matter what I tried.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] CrazyApe18:
Not sure what link you're referring to. Anyway, SamFirm is the best way to grab it. Sorry you're having trouble with your computer. It just fires right up here.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] dstealth97:
the u1 link from the OP and was able to download G965U1_RH7_3.zip file. This one still shows ARH7, but anyway thx you for your response.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] CrazyApe18:
Well anyway, ARI1 is the next update in that line. So if you install ARH7, it will OTA to ARI1 for you. No big loss.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] dstealth97:
Got cha, im still new at this hence all these newbie questions.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] iBowToAndroid:
I first got access to it a week ago. But it didn't seem like there's been a lot of interest in the incremental builds, so I didn't bother with it. It can now be gotten from SamFirm, or just OTA from RH7
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] dstealth97:
Yes, that's exactly what I did. Got the OTA right after the other version.

Anyone tried U3CRJ1 build yet?
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] ombheembush:
Is that Pie version?
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] bassman418:

[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Venom0642:
Don't try to install thought seems that build is broken it will not install, AT&T messed it up some how, just a warning.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] yeltrah123:
Yes
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] ChadH42:
Yes, I just tried to install the update but it fails during verification of the current OS version.

Worst looking thing I've ever seen on a mobile device. Enjoy if you like oversized bubbles and lack of consistency.

EDIT: This is regarding CRJ1, which I had no issues installing at all [MENTION=239126]venom[/MENTION]
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Venom0642:
Oh ok thanks so they installed wrong?
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] xstefen:
I was on BRI9. I Odin'd to ARI6 and sideloaded CRJ1. There were no errors. It worked fine for the 10 minutes I tested it. But the UX design is just so bad that I could not stay on it.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Venom0642:
I'm also on Note 9 and would not installed Pie to my S9 Plus, cause it's way to buggy and not worth it, Till at least wait till December or January should be more stable the Pie leaks.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] xstefen:
I have no idea what you just said but you aren't getting my message either so we will leave it here. Thanks for the leak tho
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Venom0642:
Meaning i wouldn't install Pie still way ugly lol, and i am on my Note9 so will continue on Oreo for my device, that's what i meant.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] xstefen:
Gotcha :good: Im back to ARI6 and reapplying my custom theme as well. Much better :highfive:
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] xstefen:
Something messed up, I cant get mobile data or any options related to it. Just a disabled sign in the status bar. There were no errors in odin. I went ahead and got a fresh download of ARI6 and tried again, same result. This isnt good :o Reseated sim same result. Fac reset same result.

Any ideas?
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] CrazyApe18:
Check your IMEI in About Phone. Some have lost it with these Pie builds. There's steps somewhere on here to restore it.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Wacky2bakky:
Pretty sure u have to try flashing fw in Odin without sim card in. I had to flash Oreo fw over and over before my network finally starting working lol
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] xstefen:
What fixed my Unknown baseband/imei etc was to Odin flash ARG8, reboot to recovery, and adb sideload ARG8->BRI9. BRI9 booted with data, I rebooted to recovery and got no data partition error, went ahead and odin'd to ARI6 after that and all is still well. [MENTION=4631220]Venom0642[/MENTION] might wanna include some more relative info and maybe a SS or 2 next time ya drop a leak (though what we do with it is not your responsibility I know ;))

Thanks [MENTION=9282064]CrazyApe18[/MENTION] and [MENTION=3689059]powerstroke[/MENTION] and also Rydah for providing me that info before I read this
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] CrazyApe18:
In fairness to [MENTION=4631220]Venom0642[/MENTION], I think all the Pie builds have had the IMEI loss issue. What's weird is that it seems to affect people only intermittently.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Venom0642:
Seems that way , cause lots are getting this, which i never had nothing to do with it.

---------- Post added at 02:43 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:41 PM ----------

I will stop posting any leaks for Pie, that way i don't get accused for it for the S9 or S9 Plus, this is something that's always been warned on people to install on there own RISK, and not me being responsible for there actions if something goes wrong with there phones.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] todd3835:
This is a huge shame. Not that I'm interested in the Pie builds right now since they are so buggy, but the fact that you even have to not post because people are complaining of their phones not working is just a shame. For me, Xda is a place for getting leaks, custom roms, and apps that are outside the box to the point where they sometimes can't be on the play store. While most things on Xda are tested before being posted, it's always been a bleeding edge, use at your own risk type of site.

I've been coming here for years to extend the life of phones, rooting, and running custom roms. This kind of nonsense (people complaining about a clearly marked unstable alpha not working right) reminds me of the whole issue in society today. People just don't want to take responsibility for anything. The entire reason I haven't tried the Pie builds is because it's buggy. That's why it's an alpha. I can't afford to be without my phone, so I stay put on Oreo.

Anyways, I'll stop my rant. Glad to have you here and appreciate the leaks and all you bring to us. You've been awesome throughout the years (my Evo3d rocked your rom the whole time I had it), and if you haven't heard it from anyone recently, I totally appreciate your work!
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Poesini:
I totally agree with todd3835... Venom has been a great contributor since like ever and who would, with a sane mind, leak troublesome firmwares on purpose... Like he's getting paid for that lol...

People should read more before ranting
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] kenennaoyeka:
Dunno what people are complaining about with Pie. It's as simple as using patches Odin to go back to stock firmware. People should stop crying victim.....jesus christ
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Psyscope:

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

I've backed up Venom plenty outside of this forum and have suffered the consequences of such, but I do not believe in 2bit journalists or media controlled public information so it is what it is.

There are updated files on the Samsung firmware science website in case u guys want the greatest and latest. The latest android p build tends to freeze the phone tho so I'm rolling back to the most recent stable

Is there an Odin of the October Patch?
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] todd3835:
ARIB is October 1 patch. Don't think there's an Odin yet, but there's an update.zip file for it.

What about BRJ3? what's that firmware?
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] todd3835:
I haven't tried any of the B series firmwares yet. None of the carriers have made the move so I've stayed on the A series.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] kenennaoyeka:
Okay bro. I'm still on the CRJ3, I'm roughing it out. I like android pies location implementation it's like iOS. And since Samsung pay works, I just deal with the freezes. Hopefully it doent lock up when I'm navigating somewhere lol
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] iBowToAndroid:
Even when official RJx drops, it won't be Pie. It takes them longer than that to make a new Android version stable.

BTW, for any wondering, RIC is the latest that I have access to but RIB is already on SamFirm and SamMobile so I'm holding off on uploading anything new until an RJx drops
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] todd3835:
Are you expecting an RJX build? Or not until the Nov patch?
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] tony332211:
Hello, I want to get rid of frp verification on an s9+ (g965u TMB) and need to know what to flash in order to get rid of frp. May I get some help?
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] todd3835:
Not only is thread hijacking frowned upon, but so is asking the same irrelevant question in multiple threads. I already replied to your other question in another thread.

I suggest either searching for your question, and if you can't find it, posting a new thread dedicated to FRP bypass on the S9/S9+.

Keep in mind, that FRP is a priority to Google. The odds are good that any time there's a bypass for it, they will patch it with the next patch. Odds are pretty good that you will need to have the login for a Google account previously linked to the device.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] iBowToAndroid:
RJx = Oct

RKx = Nov

It's pretty common for a build created in month x to not come out until the 1st or 2nd week of the next month. So yes, I'm still expecting an RJx build to drop soon
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] todd3835:
I'm on RIB, which is Oct patch. That's why I figured the RJx would be November.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] iBowToAndroid:
Well right, like I said, even though they create and approve the build in month x, they usually don't push it out til the next month. If the build ends in a letter, it means it was approved towards the very end of the month, because they would have used up all the numbers already. So it's not surprising that the next month's security patch would be included, since even Google spends all month working on it, to have it ready for the beginning of the month in which they actually push it out.

Only question is whether it will still be Oct security patch or Nov, by the time the next OTA rolls around
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] todd3835:
Ah ok, good to know. The S9 is my first Samsung in a long time. I'm used to sporadic updates from LG, but 1 update a month before that on the Nexus. Good to know there's a reasoning behind the build numbers.

Anybody have one of the bootloader 3 sprint stock firmwares? Trying to get back to being able to update
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] jcsww:
You should be able to update with any of the stock firmware installed. Once you start mixing CSC's and userdata though, it's a whole different mess. The U1 firmware only gets updates about once every 3-4 months, which is significantly slower than the carrier U firmware versions.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] nofearkingbiatch:
Any update I'm on when I check for update it says it's up to date and I know the July patch I just flashed to isnt up to date lol
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] kenennaoyeka:
If u want the October patch u have to flash ARI6 with Odin then use one of the update files from samsung.firmware.science
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] iBowToAndroid:
That's definitely not true. Fewer updates than U models, yes. But it doesn't take them 3-4 months to update it

There have been 3 more updates since RG7, and the latest one was over a month ago. So something's definitely wrong. I'd recommend just manually flashing whatever version you want to be on
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] stoobie-doo:

AFH is apparently having issues because I've been trying to upload RJ2 for U1, but it keeps failing at the very end. I'll make a post if/when it finally sticks
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] dbrohrer:
Thanks a lot man. I have been looking all over for RJ2 for 960u1. Seems that only Verizon sims got the OTA. SamFirm errors out on RJ2 firmware like its not on the servers.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] iBowToAndroid:
Shouldn't matter what SIM is in it - U1 is the universal model, so all U1s should get the same version eventually. But yes, SamFirm will always pull the newest server version automatically.

I finally got G965U1 to stick, so RJ2 is up now, for anyone who wants it. Now to work on G960U1 lol.

PS. This is a wipe file, since no HOME CSC yet.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] dbrohrer:
You're right it doesn't matter what sim is in the phone for the firmware to install via odin and work fine. But OTA will only pull down based on carrier code. Below is the FOTA addresses for 960u1 where the phone goes out and checks for a new OTA. Tmobile (TMB) and US unlocked (XAR) are still showing up ARI1 while VZW got bumped to ARJ2. Samfirm pulls ARJ2 automatically for u1 on VZW but then errors out.

http://fota-cloud-dn.ospserver.net/firmware/TMB/SM-G960U1/version.xml

http://fota-cloud-dn.ospserver.net/firmware/VZW/SM-G960U1/version.xml

Again, thanks for sharing. I will watch your AFH page for the 960u1 firmware.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] iBowToAndroid:
Hmm interesting. I didn't realize the CSCs still played a factor on U1 firmware. I think US unlocked is XAA though. And yes, I've seen that with SamFirm. It shows the Build etc like it's there, but then won't pull it and reverts to show the earlier version. They'll probably get it up by the weekend though.

G960U1 is up now too :)

[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] aouni_tahech:
Hey guys. I'm still on Feb patch on Build number G965U1ARBI. Is this a U1 firmware? (My phone has AT&T apps installed)

My phone is 965U AT&T unlocked, and I don't have a AT&T sim, so that's why I don't get any updates.

I'm was happy with everything working fine so I didn't bother with updates. I don't live in the US.

My questions:

1- Can I jump from ARBI to October firmware directly without wipe?

2- How to get OTA updates if I don't have a US sim? Should I flash the U1 October firmware?

Thanks

Edit: Attached build number and device model.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] jcsww:
You should only flash updates that are for the specific firmware on your device. If you want to convert to U1, a full wipe is highly recommended because the conversion will not fully take if you don't wipe, which could potentially leave you with no data connectivity and being forced to reflash and fully wipe anyway.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] todd3835:
It's really October still? Odd since ARIB was October 1.... Guess I'll skip it then.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] kenennaoyeka:
All firmware for the U models (U and U1) are exchangeable
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] jcsww:
Perhaos, but you could break OTA's if you flash a build for your carrier U that your carrier push. Updates are build specific.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] kenennaoyeka:
Yup. U need to have the original firmware it ships with for OTAs. I have a Verizon U with XAA software on it. I never get OTAs
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] aouni_tahech:
Thanks, mate. So I'd better flash the latest U1 firmware G965U1UES3ARI1 ?

Any thing special I should do aside from extracting the firmware zip and flashing each file in Odin? Should I flash the home_csc ? Since I'm outside the US, I should ignore userdata files?

I can handle a full wipe once in a while.

[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] aka120:
I'm stuck on ATT/ATT/XAA for now, which is why I think I'm probably not going to receive any software updates from at&t.

I'll have to get back with you on the WiFi calling setup I'm not around wifi at the moment. But I just used my home address for the 911 location(my address was auto filled).

The only thing I restore I made was my back up in Smart Switch. But I restored the backup well after booting up and confirming most at&t features we're functioning so this should have no impact on the carrier features as far as I can tell.

The first initial boot I let go the OS, and no carrier features worked at all, only the at&t startup and shutdown animations were present and the at&t logo was shown on the status bar. Then I booted to the recovery and did a factory reset. It gave a warning on first bootup of an unauthorized attempt to do a factory reset, so I went into settings and did the normal factory reset.

I'll screen shot the WiFi calling setup as soon as I get to a wifi signal.

U1 and flashing AT&T firmware

Hey everyone,

I was wondering if you can flash the AT&T firmware on to an unlocked S9 plus bought from Best Buy?
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] aka120:
You absolutely can flash the at&t firmware onto your unlocked S9+, just make sure to either wipe your data, or flash the regular csc file, not the csc home file... if you want to try to enable the carrier features.

But getting the carrier features enabled and functioning seems to be widely hit or miss. For some reason I got lucky and I didn't do anything special.....

I'm starting to lean towards the carriers sim card and call/data plan being used having a lot to do with whether the carrier features will function or not, but don't quote me on that lol, I'm just thinking outside the box.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] aka120:
This is as good as I can get it, I tired removing the data for wifi calling but it still has all my info for the service, I just went to change address and used my home address again... If you have any idea how to clear out the data so that you must set it up from scratch let me know and I'll try it.

View attachment 4463995

I've tried many times trying to do the ota update, even clearing the software update cache and data, going to a different city, etc... After checking for an update it says current software is up to date every time. Guess for now I'll have to update it manually for now.

[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] aka120:
For at&t you want the u firmware iBowToAndroid posted in the OP. In the RB7_1_8.0 folder download the G965U_RB7_1 firmware and the USERDATA_ATT. Flash with the patched odin tran1981 posted a link to in post #26 here https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=75906594&postcount=26.

If you flash the regular csc file it's going to factory reset your device anyways. But if you do the factory reset after flashing the g965u1 firmware at any time it's wiping the data partition, not the system. It will be like an unlocked S9+ out of the box :good:
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] nugzo:
I think its more than widely hit ans miss lol. You're the ONLY one i know of that got it to work. Mine does show video calling enabled but it doesn't work. I could care less, i dont use that feature anyway. I just want HD calling and wifi calling to go along with the caller ID/Spam features and id be happy. I've tried installing the U1 RB7 AP and BL with the U csc and user data. still didnt work. guess im gonna flash back yo u1 so i can atleast get the caller ID.

Any idea when we will see an update or even 8.1.1?
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] NotATreoFan:
On the Note 9.

Unless 8.1 fixes some major glitches with 8.0, Samsung will most likely not release it for the S9/S9+. The S8 came with 7.0 and stayed on it until Oreo was released. The Note 8 shipped with 7.1.2.
