I'm trying to update my AT&T SM-G965U (though my carrier is Google Fi) to Android Pie. Both OTA and Smart Switch update options claim my phone is fully up to date even though it is running build BRK1. I tried updating via Micro SD in recovery mode with the zip file provided by firmware.science (firmware update to build CSA5) when I entered my phone's model and build, but it was aborted due to "unexpected contents". I transcribed the error below.

E3005: "EMMC://dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/modem:83300864:2d921fc2a30290a4f894ef4e5528ab83263 913ec:84005376: 12c0577b202561c4a0732793bdbaf3a04eca67f0" has unexpected contents.

E:Error in /sideload/package.zip (Status 7)

Installation Aborted.#1

Any idea what's going on?

Is there any other way I could update my phone to Pie?

Edit: I managed to find the ODIN update firmware and successfully update to Pie. Disregard this post.

How's everyone's battery life on CSC7??

here's mine.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] mr.interested:
So when I had some more time on my hands, I have tried everything else that I know.. I finally managed to get an error that says the serial (com) port not working. Any further ideas?? Thanks again!

I am using original Samsung cable, have tried every one of the 6 usb 2.0 ports on my desktop, deleted Samsung firmware and drivers. Reinstalled Samsung s9 drivers, still nothing..
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] shaggyskunk:
Are you & have you always had the "com" port error? Have you also uninstalled (probably from the sounds of it) uninstalled Odin (Patched version is required to go from US Firmware to Canadian firmware) - A different computer or laptop available? Makes no sense.... I've never had any problems switching from the US One UI beta back to Canada....
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] mr.interested:
It's happening with any firmware I use tbh. I will try uninstalling all Odin versions as I have the patched, the consey and regular Odin currently. I will uninstall all and try it again.. :good:

---------- Post added at 07:56 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:27 PM ----------

Idk if it matters or changes things but I changed my CSC when I updated to beta pie before and so I have a baseband of G965WVLU3ARJ5 and my build # is G965USQU3CSA7. Does that make a difference?
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] shaggyskunk:
No because I was always Flashing the Canadian CSC & CP after Flashing the One UI beta so that WiFi Calling & VoLTE would work.

Like I said before - I ALWAYS Factory Reset BEFORE & AFTER Flashing the One UI beta & BEFORE & AFTER Flashing back to the Stock Canadian One UI Firmware & I Flashed multiple versions of the US One UI beta... I don't remember - Did you Factory Reset EVER?

fwiw - I also ALWAYS removed both the SIM & sd card when Flashing with Odin... ?
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] mr.interested:
I have not yet due to the fact that I thought I'd try everything else beforehand as I thought that was the smallest factor and a lot of work. I will try that now since I seem at my last option. Wish me luck!

If it wanna go back to U1 to get regular OTA'S. What build do I flash??
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] m1batt1:
I just OTA'd to CSD4 from I believe CSC7 two days ago so that should be a valid option. That being said I saw on another thread that someone else just got to CSC7 two days ago so YMMV.

Does anyone know what happened to the latest ota's being updated on firmware.science for the S9U.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] sbattosai:
No more updates?
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] shaggyskunk:
Why would there be any more betas? One UI is Official... Check back in November for Q betas... Hopefully ?
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] sbattosai:
I did not mean beta, I meant leaks of unreleased updates for example... It's been 6 weeks since the last update...
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] shaggyskunk:
Don't think that's going to happen... From what I've heard there's also been an issue with getting leaks - Not to mention that there's likely far less interest in getting leaks since it's Official ?

Not gonna happen servers where we pull the leaks are blocked for months, so no more leaks, like it use to be.

Hello, did anyone receive camera error, when try to shot more night mode photos?
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] m1batt1:
So I've noticed that since Pie officially dropped that there seems to be a discrepancy between the U and U1 firmware. At first I thought it was just a bug in one particular release but it's been consistent for months.

When I use the U firmware I get much higher battery drain than when I'm on U1. I clean flash either direction but it is consistently worse. And according to battery stats it's always Android System that is causing it. For instance last week while on U I was getting Android system using 20+% of my battery in the course of the day, often causing me to have to plug in before I got home. I switched back over to U1 and I'm only at 6% usage on Android System. Is anyone else seeing this?
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] robikonobi:
That's to be expected. The u1 firmware does not have any of the carrier bloatware that cause battery drain which is why it is generally preferred.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] m1batt1:
I would be inclined to agree with you but I didn't have this issue on U Oreo. I've always had great battery life. Also I would expect the bloatware to show usage if it was the cause but it's always the Android System process that pulls the excess battery.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] uygulama04:
my phone is also g965u ARI6.

Do you recommend me to install ZRJ7
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] Heathmcdonald:
Any idea if I can get back to oreo from Last months pie Ota?
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] shaggyskunk:
Doubtful - Probably a Bootloader version change or two since Oreo... ?

Why on earth would you want to go back to Oreo anyway??
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] Heathmcdonald:
Battery life blows now I'm on 5 idk but I'd like to go back 3-4 updates for sure I guess that's what I'll do
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] shaggyskunk:
Define "battery life blows" - How much SOT?

I'd rather fix the problem - Instead of reverting back to last year's security patch etc etc etc ?
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] m1batt1:
Hunt down the latest U1 and Switch to that. I'm guessing when you pull up your battery stats that Android System process is #1 in battery usage besides screen on time. Every time I've used U firmware since Pie officially released I've had this problem. U1 doesn't have this issue and I still get OTAs. Depending on your carrier you may lose some functionality though(wifi calling, visual voicemail, advanced messaging). But for me I haven't missed those at all. Attached is a screenshot of my battery usage last week on U1.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] shaggyskunk:
Nothing wrong with that ??
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] Heathmcdonald:
It doesn't show right now but I think 5 hrs Ill get back to you when I get down to about 5% later today I'm on u1 I bought the phone outright from straighttalk I honestly miss my s8+ it was way better, wish I could root
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] legojoe8:
Anyone notice anything new with CSH3? I just got the update this morning on Verizon
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] m1batt1:
Did you already get an update containing the August security patch? If not that's all it was. It contained a patch for a major Bluetooth vulnerability.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] Heathmcdonald:
If u wanted root there went your chance, that security flaw was in the modem and could eventually reach the kernel and gain root
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] greensaberwolf:
Hello I'm trying to revert back to Oreo so I can update to Android Q when it's released.

Can anyone please provide links where to find Odin and files?

While using Odin any settings I have to set or click radial buttons?

Thank you in advance :)
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] shaggyskunk:
No idea why you want to revert back to Oreo - Or why you think that you would need to be running Oreo in order to even update to Q?

Odin is readily available from XDA (depends on whether or not you need Patched Odin) Or from Sammobile.com

You might also want to say which variant you have - ie: Include the model - F or W or U etc ?
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] greensaberwolf:
Model: SM-G960U

Installed is build CSA5 I have not been able to receive OTA updates. Reading through the thread I need to go back to BRK2 then go to CSAB to get updates again.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] m1batt1:
That is outdated information. Find the most recent Pie build for U and flash it in Odin. I would backup your data first but aside from that you should be good to go.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] greensaberwolf:
Find latest build for Odin.

Get latest U firmware for Pie 960U.

Check box for CSC browse for the firmware and load it on the CSC tab. Flash and reboot device?
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] m1batt1:
You need to flash all parts of the firmware(minus user data). And I STRONGLY advise a backup of all your data. Look in the s9 forums here for the Frija program. It's built to find and download the latest firmware for you and it has faster download speeds than anywhere else I've found.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] Gregbmil1:
If anyone is wondering, I can confirm that Package Disabler *Samsung* still works in Android 9!!

But when I apply a theme from the Samsung Store my edge screen doesn't work. All it does it slide out and blur the whole screen with no edge panel at all. Take the theme off and it works great.

My front camera works better then ever if you ask me. I have no clue what the article was talking about. Also, I like dark mode. I don't care to turn it off even if I could, Lol.

Hour 36 or so.......Beginning to regret flashing to Android 9. The black background with all settings being bright white is getting a bit old. Bluetooth works when it wants to and the recent apps Task Changer seemed to have downgraded itself back to Nougat somehow. Updating GoodLock has no effect.

Hey Android P...... Nougat called, said it wants it's task Changer back:o
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] IllyaK:
The best thing we can do now is to wait at least a month for a usable variant to leak. This version is alpha and should be treated as so.

Hi...does flashing this beta trip Knox?
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] appletonpunk:
Is this one of those situations where people jump on a early release and then get bl locked to a bad beta?
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] Juice3250:
You can download the beta update but you'll have to use Odin to flash it. I tried to install the beta through download mode and it failed.

[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] ricosuave88:

[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] legojoe8:
I don't think it does trip Knox because it's a samsung official update, not a custom rom.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] Juice3250:
I did read in the S9+ beta thread that the front facing camera doesn't work. Can anyone confirm that it works on the S9 beta?
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] AlexBrookes:

[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] Gregbmil1:
This does not trip knox . I'm sitting at 0x0 on Android P. Honesty I don't think its possible to trip Knox with a locked bootloader. The unimaginable things I put my S8 through, Lol and still my S8 is at 0x0.

I heard the same thing but the front facing camera is working for me on 9.0
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] Juice3250:
Nice! I may try to flash it through Odin when I get home today. Thing is I'm on the September 1 security patch and it's a different build number. I tried flashing it through download mode and it failed.

I updated to P and my front facing camera actually works great, even better than before. Also the rear-facing camera looks much better than in Oreo! Like better than with Gcam port : )
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] Juice3250:
I will definitely be waiting to install it until they fix the bugs that are highlighted in the video. And the rounded corners and settings menu are too much.

I'm on the regular S9 and i am able to flash the CRJ1 build from ARI6 with no issues for anyone having issues coming from ARG8 to ARI6 then to CRJ1 you have to actually let it boot ARI6 first or else it will still fail. At least thats what i did and it seemed to work with no issues

[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] Crsdr37:
I wonder if we applied the theme made for Oreo a few pages back if it would work on the Alpha to at least fix the theming.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] tvm2487:
I tried applying a pixel theme but it only themes certain things stuff like setting and text messenger is still dark

Yeah just tired another one and same thing the themes just dont support the Android 9 firmware yet

Also noticed the camera FC on a few things i tried Slow Motion and it closed

Back to Oreo for now, I wish they would just fix the theme, They probably do this stuff on purpose just to drive people nuts
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] WuNgUn:
I dunno.... It would seem the S9+ update is *****ed...

[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] tvm2487:
Yeah there really isn't anything i noticed different honestly

Except for the Messenger Icon was different LOL
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] Venom0642:
Also the Pie Alpha is not even 25% done, basically there's 90% bugs till they squash it , not really worth using, i say around End of December or next year January, will be very close to stable, but now it's a messed up not worth yet to mess your 900.00 dollar phone.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] tvm2487:
Yeah I agree it is nice to check out the progress tho as long as things don't get screwed up to bad,, Who knows alot could still change from now till we get a stable build

Anyone that has flashed today's build for the S9 960. What drew your impressions from the first build to this one. My major issues with the first was bluetooth call quality. Vibrations leading to lockups and Android Auto I believe maxing out ram causing black screens and reboots while connected to my head unit. As well as the stupid security log errors.
