Boot into recovery and flash the previous pie and let it boot..then Odin back to oreo.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] legojoe8:
i don't have it on my SD and in adb sideload it says it can't read the file. the file is an ARG8-CRI7 zip
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] Alphaman10:
You don't have sd card?I suggest if you have sd card put the file on it and try that way or try factory reset see it that helps.

Build cr17 for tmobile is not bad at all. Why do you guys keep trying switch to the newest one none of these build will be fully stable. Judt stick with one that works fine and ride it out til the official build comes out. I've been on cr17 since they uploaded it and only problem I have is random vibration and random crashed to some apps other than that everything works great all that switching back and forth can really break your phone and it's not that easy to pay for another $1000 phone.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] Alphaman10:
Amen..especially all reporting problems on new builds and people still trying.

---------- Post added at 04:23 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:17 PM ----------

I think it's a noob problem though!
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] legojoe8:
okay i put the CRI7 file on my sd and it flashed successfully. I think I'll stick with Pie for now tho. Plus the baseband problem is fixed now. it recognized my sim again. Thanks for the help
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] amazin1988:
LMAO I mean damn you can't fix broken if they are telling you it's broken and there nothing that can be done until more stable builds come out so all that flashing back and forth to still have the same problems is pretty much a waste of time if you ask me.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] mweinbach:
Actually firmware.science is uncapped on speeds and we have pretty fast bandwidth. We also use google servers for some updates so it should be the same speed. Best place to get updates from.

So [MENTION=4631220]Venom0642[/MENTION] is there a definite way to install CRJ1 that won't fail? Or is it just us doing something wrong?
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] mweinbach:
Yes! We actually have it on the XDA Portal. A couple of the devs in my Discord server found it. We have 2 posts with updated files here.

S9: https://www.xda-developers.com/install-android-pie-beta-snapdragon-samsung-galaxy-s9/

S9+: https://www.xda-developers.com/install-android-pie-samsung-experience-10-samsung-galaxy-s9/

Tried out CRJ1 but I'm having issues with lag in GPU intensive games, tons of lag, audio glitches and the phone seems to be getting quite hot. Back to CRI7 for the time being.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] legojoe8:
I meant is there a specific way to install specifically the build CRJ1. All the other builds install just fine.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] mweinbach:
Yes, follow those instructions. They have been updated for CRJ1. We will continue to update it with all future builds.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] legojoe8:
Aside from those issues, do you notice any improvements, say to the dark mode or something?
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] Venom0642:
DELETED
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] WuNgUn:
That's the process I used...

I was on the previous Pie leak so I back-flashed and installed the full ROM's, not these update files. Are these files newer than they were yesterday?
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] Rally517:
I tried the adb way. Commands wouldn't work. What did you do?? Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] Venom0642:
I deleted not risking peoples phones to break from me.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] juni12:
Did you perform a factory reset after installing the update because performance wise the device was flawless (CRJ1) , no lag to me (S9). I did notice tho battery draining faster than Oreo but otherwise there are just few issues.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] illmatic24:
I'm pretty sure I did. I'm in the process of reinstalling CRJ1, one thing I did differently is Factory Reset right after the ARG8 update so let's see if that helps. The game I was getting lag with is Asphalt 9, maybe you guys on CRJ1 can check and see if you're having similar issues. I also noticed the battery drain a bit faster, it does seem to improve a bit after the "Learning battery usage" thing goes away.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] Rally517:
Few small bugs.But over all. S9 loving pie
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] Alphaman10:
On s9 ram management is very poor.. You'll get lag if you don't clean your memory.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] Crsdr37:
Appfreezer did the ADB setup of that and then froze it with that.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] illmatic24:
Thank for pointing this out. This is the reason I was getting lag in Asphalt 9 in CRJ1, after hitting "optimize now" in the device care tab the game is running smooth again. I really hope 4 GB ram doesn't become an issue in the future. :good:
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] Alphaman10:
I'm sure it will be tuned up b4 final release
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] illmatic24:
Yes CRJ1 seems more smooder. The night theme seems useless all it does is change the settings menu color so I'm not using it. Backing out of games the phone would freeze for a sec in CRI7 that's fixed, also had an issue with the keyboard numbers clipping when u typed that's also fixed. Overall it seems more stable than CRI7 not a single force close or random vibration yet.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] storm18r:
Anyone figure out how to fix the baseband issue when you flash back to oreo?
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] Alphaman10:

I will but tried a couple different things and still can't get it

Has anyone got one of the working gcam mods to work on the latest pie beta?

I'm on CRJ1 and none of the HDR+ settings work.

I see they're adding in the new gesture nav bar, doesn't work for me but I like the idea.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] Beesvee:
Try this one. Works for me...

https://www.mediafire.com/file/956xav42t937xs2/Camera_5.1.018.177470874.apk/file
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] ChongoDroid:
Yeah this is what I was using for the first pie alpha but if you check, HDR+ isn't working (at least not for me) on CRJ1.

I tried all the HDR+ profiles and only hammerhead will even take a picture but HDR+ isn't working.

the new arnova builds (pixel3mod is for newer devices, aka SD 845) will take pictures and even start the HDR+ process but the results have a crazy green tint.

The green tint fix builds (for exynos) don't work either.

I'm sure we'll get it soon just wondering if there's an existing build.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] Beesvee:
Right on. HDR+ is working for me, but I am on CRI7 right now.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] ChongoDroid:
ahh gotcha, yeah it was working on CRI5 for me but no more, oh well I'll wait for a new version.

How is the UI this update? As far as the half black half white goes and all that? I saw it asked but I didn't see a response
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] illmatic24:
:svetius:
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] capeorigins:
To me, the CRJ1 build seems more stable. More smooth by far, have had very very few crashes, I've been running it for a day and I like it.

Also, the UI seems also more smoothed over for me, but i maybe just can't tell too much but dark mode changes the color of settings area.

Also, gestures finally work for a short time.

If you turn on gestures, it'll work(except home or hard press home doesn't work) and then after you lock the screen it stops working. The back still works oddly.

Glad to see so much progress though!

I've been seeing people say it takes at minimum a week or so for it to learn the battery pattern. as far as messages and contacts goes i think some one in this posting had to fiddle with settings. some people are recommending using the android messaging app from the playstore too.

Quick Question, Is CRJ1 Newer than CRI7 ?
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] :
Yes it's the latest update
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] ChongoDroid:
So the memory is fixed (recent apps can be switched and not crash the UI). Max power saving mode is fixed and works.

I'm trying to find more bugs but I only found that the gesture based navigation doesn't work. But regular swipe up for nav bar still works so I'm using this as a daily.

battery stats took a while for me on CRI5 as well so I'm just thinking it takes a few days.

I didn't download the Odin files. I just Odin back to arg8 and then flashed the 91 MB update file for ARI6, and then let it boot and then flashed CRJ1
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] :
Thank you so much, ill try just that :D
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] capeorigins:
Simple explanation;

ARG8 was the "g" update, and then there was the "I" update which was ARI6 and after CRI7 they went to the next letter of the alphabet, which was "J". (Which is the first letter of my name)

What I'm not sure about is whether or not these leaked updates are technically old. Because they seem like their build date is a couple months ago? Lol

---------- Post added at 08:36 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:28 AM ----------

Quick recap for G960U that worked for me:

Rebooted phone into Download mode.

Input files into Odin for ARG8(Home CVC)

Disabled "Auto reboot" and "Flash Lock"

Waited til it said passed

Unplugged phone(pretty sure this is important)

Rebooted and watched it say "erasing"; let it boot to the Tmobile logo

Rebooted into recovery (power + VolDown until it restarted, and then Power + Volup +Bixbykey right after screen goes black)

Updated from SDcard 91MB file for ARI6

Wiped data/Factory reset

Did the same reboot where it "wipes" stuffss

Then through recovery again Updated zip from sdcard; 1.76GB CRJ1 file.

Then I rebooted and enjoyed!

For the record, I made this forum so people could get help on things they don't understand, and some people don't know everything.

Has anyone tried reverting back on a 960w? I lose radio entirely and cannot get it back unless I flash back to pie. My assumption is I need to flash back the latest version 3 bootloader 960w files, with repartition and nand erase?

Patched Odin should do the trick but most of the time, a reboot of the PC and rebooting download mode does the trick.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] ChongoDroid:
I went back to ARG8 from CRI5 but not the latest Pie so maybe that's the difference.

I just factory reset in recovery after. I also always flash in Odin without the sim card.

I don't really think the dark theme is a bug. I believe its here to stay. The My Files app is the only true white themed app. Good thing is, once the official Pie releases developes can make actual working white themes.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] :

I had to close Odin disconnect my phone and restart download mode a couple of times before it went through. It was a pain in the arschloch. Also make sure Odin is running as admin!
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] WuNgUn:
You realize the theme is switchable, right?

You can turn it off from quick toggle and settings.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] Beesvee:
Theme is not switchable. The UI theme is black through out. I am not referring to the Day/Night theme modes. If you open MyFiles you will notice its white on white. The rest of the system is white on black. The QS/Noti panel is dang near useless when you get a notification or using Samsung Music player you can barely see it. The white on white vs. white on black is far more appealing, and observable. The Night theme should be lib'd to make not only the bubbles turn dark, but the material back grounds go from light to dark.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] WuNgUn:
It's also unfinished...

Just look at Settings menu in night mode... Grey and black. That the only element that seems complete in the theme.

My Files, with night mode off is practically impossible to read! Pretty sure they aren't gonna leave it that way.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] Beesvee:
Touchette :p
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] legojoe8:
Take a look at the calendar and my files app, like you said, on CRI7. its has light cards and a light background. That's probably what Samsung is envisioning for the default theme.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] Beesvee:
Right on. I pretty much use all Google apps, didn't even think to look at the calendar app.

It's just odd to have that much material incomplete for an alpha release. Been doing this since Note 4. Note 4 it was Marshmallow, Note 5 it was Nougat, Note 8 it was Oreo, and now S9 its Pie. All those OS leaks were pretty much material complete.

What's everyone's thoughts on the odd ball Samsung Messages Icon? Do you think it's a bug, or is it a sign of new icons to come. It looks so out of place.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] :
it being out of place was my initial thought as well. I think we will have a big surprise come official release though!
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] legojoe8:
What build is the oddball message icon on. CRJ1? Can you give a screenshot? On CRI7 it's the regular oreo icon.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] ChongoDroid:
Yeah CRJ1
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] Beesvee:
Circled icon.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] legojoe8:
What have you done samsung!! Your making your ui ugly!

Ya idk if that's an omen of other icons looking in a similar style but I saw pics of pie on the Note 9 and there are some icons like reminder, notes, and yes messages that are new

Anyone else having pictures turn green sometimes? I'm hoping it isn't a hardware thing. Seems related to HDR.
