Re odin your phone using the csc file not the home-csc

HOME-CSC keeps data intact you don't want that you want to wipe everything and start fresh

---------- Post added at 03:38 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:36 AM ----------

Also flash the sprint USER-DATA file
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] momentman10176:
Trying that now
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] tvm2487:
Ok cool let me know how you make out,, hopefully that does it for you
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] momentman10176:
Hoping it works, although ARH9 is sprints latest. So I'm using that.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] tvm2487:
Yeah any S9 odin files should work there universal on these phones
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] momentman10176:
Done and booting now.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] tvm2487:
Fingers crossed it works
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] momentman10176:
Power off your device insert the service provider UICC that came with the device
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] tvm2487:
Try to remove the sim card and put it back in
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] crixley:
Didn't fix anything for me. Still had no network. I haven't been able to go back either I lose my IMEI and everything. Seems like the EFS partition gets corruption or something. I have pie working mostly bug free though so I'll survive.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] tvm2487:
If that doesn't work I would try to odin what ever version of oreo you came from weather it was ARG8 or ARI6 using the csc file not the home-csc and see if that works
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] momentman10176:
Tried that just now, phone froze up, and then rebooted

---------- Post added at 11:32 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:24 PM ----------

Trying ARI6 Again with suggested files. But don't have much faith.... I appreciate the help, but I screwed myself on this 1.

And ARI6 Failed as well, boots, but no bars, and keeps asking for sim, even after removing, reinserting, and rebooting
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] tvm2487:
It's just crazy I don't think it should be this hard

---------- Post added at 04:13 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:12 AM ----------

Sorry I thought one of those things would have worked
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] nofearkingbiatch:
I've flashed all the pie builds and went back to Orea everytime and I'm on sprint. When I flash arg8 I flash the CSC file and not the home csc. After the phone boot loops turn it off. Go to recovery and factory reset clear cache. When it boots back up dial ##72786# and it should activate after it restarts
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] hfdkjahf:
In the same situation with my Sprint phone.. honestly I'm just sticking to Pie; it's been quite stable in my case, especially for a leaked alpha. I think flashing with the straight up CSC and then factory resetting for good measure was the trick. SE10 looks way more streamlined than SE9, and after swapping to the XAA sales code I'm getting reception in areas that I would usually have no signal. Maybe someone more knowledgable than me knows how that works.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] Alphaman10:
Try going back to previous build of pie and then Odin your carrier firmware..
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] Ilker1234:
Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] :
All this happened to me last weekend, I tried everything and had to have verizon send me a "like new" replacement. so to say the least I'm not flashing these builds anymore
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] crixley:
When you flash back to pie it comes back. I haven't flashed the 960w firmware yet since the only place I can find it takes like a day to download and ends up failing before it ever finishes. Ah well I can deal with the random freezes, seems to be my only bug.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] Venom0642:
Yup some people have got lucky for theses builds to work, but like i mentioned theses Pie build will screw your phone up, it's just of matter of time for those other on it will eventually screw your phone up , not worth it in my book, but it's there phones, so they can do what ever they want with it, But they have been Warned, me personally not my Note 9 or my S9 Plus will i flash any Pie, Oreo is running great no issues at all, and i am in no hurry to get Pie, when it's out next year I'll be getting it as OTA, for the meantime i will enjoy my phones. If it's not broken then no need to try to fix it with theses Pie Builds lol, anyway back to enjoyment with my phones.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] :
Ya, way too risky especially with the previous build. That may change with "Beta" Status though but we won't know until its come to that point.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] amazin1988:
People phones are breaking because their doing something wrong nothing about being lucky if these builds were unsafe they wouldn't be released.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] :
You can follow directions step by step and still get unsuccessful results. that's a major part of these pre-release builds is that its risky. believe me, I did everything correctly and still ended up f*****g up my phone. They're very buggy and you never know what can happen. Even if its running flawlessly on your device that doesn't mean you're not going to have issues later.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] WuNgUn:
You've had it happen to you on your Canadian variant? Which network provider?
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] Venom0642:
Yup correct, that is why there's a warning, cause it's very risky, but like i said if it ain't broken, why try something that actually will break your phone, i know what i am talking about, i been doing this for years, i make roms , i make themes, that is why i am a developer, but there choice, i am not telling no one what to do with there phones, ive had over 20 PMS from people on these Pie build asking for help cause something went wrong, so yes theses builds are very risky, especially a phone that's not even broken with there original builds , a phone thats close to a 1,000 , but there phones, i will stop here.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] :
I was one of those that had to seek help lol not from you, but another member. I was up literally all night trying to get it to work again but still had no baseband, no uicc, no imei it was not fun lol
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] Venom0642:
I am glad you got a replacement, by January is when it will be close to stable, Pie build.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] :
Yeah I just didn't want to stay on pie, I was have a lot of freezes and I could not stand the white on black

---------- Post added at 02:09 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:08 PM ----------

Which means we probably won't get the ota til maybe February or even early March.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] crixley:
I'm on public mobile (a Telus company). I didn't get to flash the W variant of the Oreo software which I'm sure would fix it, since all the links are too slow for me to download, but I did try both ARG8 AND ARI6 full firmware.

No biggie really pie is working well minus the few times a day it locks up and requires a reset.

Edit: on the plus side, by using *#243203533# and changing network code to Tmobile, I'm getting probably the best signal I've ever had. So there's that at least!
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] amazin1988:
Not true I haven't had one phone break on me so I guess I'm real lucky.

---------- Post added at 09:34 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:30 AM ----------

You could easily had a bad download you never know what the cause of the problem is but to say it's the pie builds is ridiculous if these builds were messing up people's phone they would cut the downloads off. The builds are coking from a Samsung site highly doubt they gonna have us upload something that's gonna mess up our phones.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] :
What don't you understand about these being "alpha" leaks? of course some people are going to experience bugs. and plenty of them. there have been plenty of people, I myself included who have knowledge on rooting and roms enough to follow some instructions and still have problems. Of course like you said it could be anything but a common issue is the build itself.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] Venom0642:
Correct.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] matthewacbroad:
I will follow you more. I have 960w with lastest update of oreo. Been holding off for a while now because its canada version and i want radio to work.

on telus network

Just in time for a Galaxy S10+ lol how convenient...
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] Venom0642:
Besides that theses build were not to be used by public, if i pulling them from AT&T server lol, we are just basically taking the leaks without there permission, it's not like AT&T called us and said hey you want to try our leaks lol, anyway peace out, enough said.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] amazin1988:
Well I've never had a problem and I barely follow directions so again I guess I'm lucky.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] crixley:
Sure! If you need anything, feel free to hit me up via pm.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] :
I guess you are because anyone else here will tell you the same thing I am.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] tvm2487:
For anyone who has no baseband or imei from what I've read Samsung kies should restore your efs partition and that's what's corrupt so I recommend trying that
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] :
For anyone that has Verizon you can try the Software Upgrade Assistant for PC. I didn't have any luck but it's worth a shot!
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] Alphaman10:
You do know you can flash your own CSC after installing pie..
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] amazin1988:
Do you see me on here complaining not at all my phone been flawless with every build they put out.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] crixley:
Lol didn't you admit you had freezes and such? I doubt I'd call that flawless.

Anyway, I'm fine with dealing with small bugs. I love this update regardless and I'm sure they'll fix it up quickly. It was the same on my s8 with oreo.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] Mehdi0507:
Does someone know when the beta program will start?
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] WuNgUn:
I'm on Rogers with 9+...

I just flashed the U firmware and flashed the first leak, no prob. Went back to Oreo from there without issue. On latest Pie leak, but haven't tried going back to Oreo from here.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] amazin1988:
I never admitted to my phone freezing buddy lol. Wrong person [emoji16]
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] matthewacbroad:
I need to get myself updated. I went from HTC 10 that i rooted myself. I never had to mess with any radios or CSC because all the custom roms detected my bell network. I switched over to telus and got s9
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] crixley:
The good thing about Samsung devices is that they're extremely hard to fully brick. Odin restores almost anything. I've seen maybe two or three hard bricks.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] matthewacbroad:
Thx you.

since twrp is something ive used all these years (also clockwork mod) i never had to deal this type of software. Im guessing odin is Like twrp (but very basic) and only allows offfical roms?

Total noob To samsung, this is my first time owning any samsung phone and first time im unable to root my device...

rip of all bought rooted apps in playstore :(
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] crixley:
It's like a "burning tool" in a sense.

It has been the most important part of the Samsung development scene in my opinion.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] tvm2487:
Hey I was just thinking you should try to flash the 960U1 or 965U1 oreo firmware just for the hell of it to see what happens maybe you'll get lucky
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] momentman10176:
I'm still trying to locate a working link for ARG8 that doesn't take 2 months to download

[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] hfdkjahf:

[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] momentman10176:

[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] momentman10176:
Thanks so much
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] tvm2487:
Here you go, just don't flash the user data file because it's for Verizon, I don't think it would actually hurt anything but just ignore that one

https://drive.google.com/file/d/13CnsIylGDbi5PA4dhMaLm2d1zUFctS6r/view?usp=drivesdk

This is the ARG8 odin I used to restore so I no its a good copy

[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] momentman10176:
Just with the file you uploaded, others flash, but no signal. I tried rebooting laptop, and rebooting download mode

Flash older version of pie build...you should get your signal back..Odin back to your sprint firmware using patched Odin and you should have your signal back.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] tvm2487:
Wtf I don't get it this should work especially since you get signal in pie I don't think your efs partition can screwed

Odin Arg8 and then flash pie build b4 J3 and then Odin back your firmware.

15 min to download, then will give it a shot

You're not an expert or work for Samsung , and you can't base your speculations on last year's because last year we didn't have treble ready.
