flashing back to oreo

hi folks,

sorry for noob question, whats the easiest way to downgrade to oreo? i am currently on U3CRKE build of pie beta. i want to downgrade to oreo so i can receive the official build from tmobile in coming weeks.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] :
So I know I saw someone comment about this after the beta opened, and I was hoping it was just a quirk with the betas, but what's up with the black bars on the top and bottom of the screen? My screen was definitely bigger on Oreo. Has anyone heard of Samsung addressing this, or is this done purposefully for some reason?
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] matthewacbroad:
scared flashing with odin and unsure how to.

I bricked my p20 which ended up getting exchanged for s9. Before was HTC 10 with twrp which was great...

but never touched odin ever or owned any samsung S devices before

[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] aaronisham95:
Yes. I've been where you are and asked the same question.

If you'd rather download the entire att firmware .zip just Google for (ARG7 ODIN FILES).its the only complete set of files out there for att WITH EVERYTHING MATCHING AND USERDATA FILES. Once you flash to it you'll receive an OTA prompt. And you'll update one by one till your on AT&Ts current build

Noob question

Hey guys.. quick question I'm on the new csa7 beta build on my TMobile Galaxy s9.. I don't use odin much and heard if I flash back to Brk2 I can't use home-csc and will lose all my stuff.. is the official CSAb build better (performance, battery) or should I just stay on the CSA7 build which is working just fine for me?? I don't want to use the normal TMobile CSC and lose everything
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] bkores:
You don't have to flash back to BRK2. Just flash CSAB and use HOME_CSC. And yes you should definitely be on the official build, otherwise you won't get future OTAs.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] DnalevelC216:
How?

To bkores (don't know how to reply properly)

I'm not on the beta program.. I just flashed brk2 straight to csa7... Everywhere it says you have to go back to brk2 Odin in order to flash csab? It says that right in the OP first page? Your telling me I can just flash from an unofficial beta build CSA7 to the new official build (csab)?

---------- Post added at 05:52 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:46 AM ----------

Now I know how to reply to a specific person. But please read what I wrote above..
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] bkores:
Yes. The OP links two types of files: the incremental update files and the full Odin image. You only need to go back to BRK2 if you want to use the update file. If you are flashing the Odin image you don't have to, as it is the full system image.

Just flash HOME_CSC and don't flash userdata and you'll be fine.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] DnalevelC216:
Ok. I think I get it.. I am a total noob.. I downloaded the csab official firmware to my SD card .. so you are saying don't use the SD card and recovery at all.. just do it all on odin and flash the new official firmware ? If so, I have 2 questions: where do I get the Odin file for the new pie official and where in Odin do I choose not to flash userdata.. thanks for your help. Will check tomorrow for a response? I don't understand why everyone isn't just doing this straight from the asa7 beta or whatever it's called...

---------- Post added at 08:15 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:11 AM ----------

I'm such a noob. I wish someone would post the instructions for the way your talking about. Thanks for the help. I already downloaded the CSab official firmware to the root of my SD card.. I just don't know where to get that same firmware files for odin
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] bkores:
It's in the OP under "Odin" (the Google drive Link).

Extract the zip file after you download. In Odin you have five boxes: AP, BL, CP, CSC, and USERDATA. Simply select the AP, BL, and CP files for their respective boxes, select the HOME_CSC file for the CSC box, and leave the USERDATA box empty. Then just flash.

You can get Odin here: https://odindownloader.com/download/odin3-v3-13-1.

You'll need the Samsung USB driver installed: http://developer.samsung.com/galaxy/others/android-usb-driver-for-windows

To get the phone into download mode, hold down the Bixby, Volume Down, and Power buttons until a Warning screen appears. Then press Volume Up to continue.

Make sure to use the official phone cable and a USB 2.0 port for best results.

Whats latest pie version for Canadian s9 plus
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] habs_fan__:
Technically none for the Canadian version yet but you can flash any of the s9+ pie builds if you odin to the American version first
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] Indyultra:
Just an FYI, This is done on your computer, not your SD card on your phone.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] jimmy3299:
This may be stupid but is there a specific one for Verizon us variant s9 plus... I'm looking to Odin back to oreo from pie. I look and all i see are generic versions. I just want to make sure I'm flashing the correct one. Sm G965U. I've read that the ones listed are tmobile.

---------- Post added at 05:08 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:05 PM ----------

I'm looking for the brk2 base
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] bkores:
It doesn't matter which one you flash. The firmware is the same across all carriers. Your phone will automatically configure itself based on your SIM card.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] jimmy3299:
Cool thanks...
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] sfld:
On CSA7 now. I should be able to flash AP, BL, and CP and home csc and it would just update the phone and not hard reset correct?

is there a odin file for s9+ yet?

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

I'm on CSA5 right now. Can I just Odin to CSAB without going to BRK2?
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] shaggyskunk:
Yeah you don't need to go back to Oreo - I'm on the Canadian SM-G965W & Fwiw I Factory Reset first & then Used Odin to Flash from CSA7 to the Canadian One UI (CSAA) ?
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] mynickname:
What would be the final TMobile version would be. CSAA/CSAB. Which one will receive OTAs.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] shaggyskunk:
Pretty sure that CSAA is only the Canadian SM-G965W Firmware - CSAB is the US version ?
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] joyj112:
I installed CSAB and did a hard factory reset so that i can start fresh but i feel like all the bugs from the past beta just came back with it. Cant go into recent settings when using Nova Launcher as my main, keyboard doesnt go into full screen, etc.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] shaggyskunk:
Well I didn't have any issues with the Betas - But what I do is Factory Reset BEFORE I Flash the Stable version fwiw & Then Factory Reset again after I Flash the Stable version - Probably unnecessary - But in all the years I have been Flashing Custom Roms I've never had any issues ?
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] :
I have been having a lot of issues with the official build on my Verizon s9 plus settings don't stay and Google play music refreshes my thumbs up songs and my playlist disappear and there have been no OTAs as of yet and I know I'm not the only one a lot of people are having issues this is ridiculous. also I find myself signing into apps again and again
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] Juice3250:
The only issue I've had is I can't change the picture on the Always On Display if I have a theme applied that includes theming the AOD. I can go into the gallery and set a picture to it, but it reverts back to the current theme after a short period of time. I'm using the MKBHD red and black theme from the Galaxy theme store. Also, it may take time for some app developers to update their apps to support Pie. Such was the case with my Credit Union Banking App. They just updated it yesterday and it now is working. I'm ready for Good Lock to work on Pie. I really miss it.

Google play store updates everything and installs any app so something to do with galaxy app itself. my guess. Idk what do from here, is it possible to reinstall galaxy store?

Is possible to skip Pie update and still get security updates for Oreo on S9 and how to do it?

I have Pie notification in scroll list of notifications. I don't want to approve it as I would lose call recording ability (which is important due to using the phone for customer support). I would like it to disappear (it is repeating) and stay on Oreo but secured. Is there any solution for this?

I've noticed the same thing. I of course have no previous number to compare and be sure but Android System currently is using substantially more battery than I remember prior to this update. But I can say that with mild to moderate use today I'm currently under 20% and would normally be sitting at least 30-40% at this point in the day.
