Changing the csc doesn't work as I Changed mine to DBT and still no OTA
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] MeltdownSpectre:
Just flash CSA2 through Odin.

If you didn't get OTA despite being on DBT, you were probably on the wrong build.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Darbar1701:
nope I was on CRLI
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] iamnotkurtcobain:
I still think Oreo is way smoother and more responsive than Pie. Turning off the Display also takes longer when you press the power button.

Animations seems jankier and overall not as polished as Oreo.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] MeltdownSpectre:
Give it some time. Oreo was also janky in the beginning during launch.

They had a new kernel with almost every build, so hopefully the same happens with Pie.

They'll perfect it eventually.

Really? Can't remember altough I was in the S8 Oreo Beta. Hope you're right.

There is no reason for using Pie atm.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] MeltdownSpectre:
No no, I mean S9 Oreo was janky during launch. Samsung was also being heavily criticized at the time for the crap kernel that would throttle the CPU.

I too hope they improve the performance on Pie. I quite like the new UI, but I can agree that Oreo felt way smoother.

Hello all.! I have a question. I know maybe it everyone asked it hundred times but i found different opinions.

Ok, so i flashed android pie DBT version CRLI with ODIN . My CSC didn't changed, it remained still ROM/ROM/ROM (Romania) as you can see in the photo attached.

So i guess if my CSC remained ROM/ROM/ROM, i will not be able to get OTAS that DBT receives it. Am i right?

I will need to wait the version release for Romania, flash it with ODIN and only then i will receive OTA. Is that correct?

Thank you very much
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] MeltdownSpectre:
Just an FYI for everyone, the changelog for CSA2 is not correct. Samsung is re-using an old changelog for a much older Oreo build (BRJ3).

You can see it here:

http://doc.samsungmobile.com/SM-G965F/DBT/doc.html
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] MeltdownSpectre:
This has been answered in the main post as well, but here goes:

Since your CSC remains ROM, you will only get OTAs if the same CSA2 build is released for Romania. If it is not, you will manually have to flash the latest Pie build which will be released for Romania to continue getting updates.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] neutraltech:
Yes, that is correct. You will only be able to receive OTA updates if you're on a firmware that was specifically released for your CSC

Hello, i'm new here in the forum, nice to meet you all!

So I've been reading a couple of how to's from different sources and pretty much ready to flash my phone, but I do have a couple of question.

Is there any difference between HOME_CSC_OXM and CSC_OXM beside the later wiping all my data?

If none, which one would you recommend? Using the HOME_CSC_OXM or backup my data and then use the CSC_OXM?

If it's the later, how do I actually backup all of my data(including installed apps and it's configs if that's possible)?

Many thanks!

[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Incarniac:
1. No, they're the same except data wipe.

2. Home should be fine for most updates except Oreo to Pie, where full reset flash is highly recommended.

Hi. You will have to flash the version that will be released for slovenia when it will be released. I think If it will be CRLI (like your current one) , you will be able to get OTAS in the future.

got an important question to this, if i back up all of my application with smartswitch, flash it with odin and wipe it all and restore the back up via smartswitch, will the app will be back just the way the are before ? i mean with all my personal data like login data, saved password, or "registered device app" like some banking app, because if only the app restored without the data it will truly hard for me to register the phone to the app again like mobile banking application, thank you so much.

the second question is, which CSC is the best one you guys prefer if i want to change CSC based on the one whose always get the fastest update above all CSCs', thanks!

Maybe Samsung Apps needs updating too because I've been using OneUI for 3 days now and the app keeps logging me out.

Also the battery life isn't very good. It's interesting that when I check it shows about 12% of my battery is being eaten by Samsung's Experience launcher (by the day) and If I show by week I get a complete nonsense (63%).

I think they should change how battery statistics show, something isn't right. For example: If chosen show by week I get Samsung experience 63, Samsung Browser 42, Gallery 35 and so on, which (if you make the math) is already much more than 100%, and if you count all other apps it gets even more.

How can a battery capacity be more than 100%!? Its a complete mess...

Hey, brand new to doing this but i'm eager to upgrade to pie on my unlocked SM-G965F in the UK.

Will this break anything such as android pay? And will it continue to get OTA updates? - and with the ota updates will it stick with country of this build of switch back to the uk with the next ota update?

much appreciated
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] MeltdownSpectre:
If the exact same build as the one in the 1st post is released for UK, then you will get OTA updates for UK. However, if Pie is officially released for the UK with a different build, you will first have to flash that to regain the ability to get OTAs.

Read FAQs for a better understanding.

Since these are official stock firmwares with absolutely no modifications, they will not break any features. You will still be able to use Android Pay, Samsung Pay, and any other KNOX related features on the phone.

[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Incarniac:
You won't get OTA update to update from beta to stable / official release so you need to flash a stable firmware by using Odin.

The actual BTU specific firmware hasn't yet gotten a Pie official release. However, grab German DBT, which has the OXM multi-CSC, and flash this with Odin. OXM multi-CSC includes BTU. This is what I did.
