You can revert back with no issues. Just need to Odin back to the latest Stock build for TMO and you're good to go. I'm on JOD myself and did successfully revert back to Oreo as I got fed up of the SecAlert notifications. The beta is looking good otherwise.

[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] galaxy4mylife:
I'm gonna say 99% that it will be 9.0 based as the minimum android version needed. And even if not it will probably not function correctly by force loading it onto oreo.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] galaxy4mylife:
Giving advice is kinda the whole point of this place. ??
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] :
yeah it definitely won't work if you're on Oreo trying to install the pie AOD. Just wait for the beta! it should be out relatively soon ?
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] TheKnux:
Want some advice? Get it yourself.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] galaxy4mylife:
I'm shocked it doesn't work on oreo ?. (Sarcasm)
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] Beesvee:
I dont believe anyone ever said it would work on stock Oreo. ;)
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] galaxy4mylife:
I only want results no advice please. ??
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] ChongoDroid:
Yeah not happening without functioning framework.

You'd be better off trying to mod the files in the Oreo AOD.

Or you know, wait a week until we see the beta
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] Freeddi:
What is your ****ing problem? I have believed by myself that it doesnt work. But i must try it first by myself to believe it to 100%. I want to try a few things with the apk. So i have not thinked that it worked.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] cyberon:
I thought it was a Google Translate thing, but this post has no excuse, stop being rude man...
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] capeorigins:
Guys. There is no need to get huffy. Honestly, there was miscommunication. I don't think anyone was originally attacking anyone, but it definitely elevated. I think we should applaud those who gave advice (nice advice) and we should applaud [MENTION=5736038]Freeddi[/MENTION] for experimenting, which is what this forum is for. (And yes, also for advice ?)

P.s. I'm not trying to sound passive aggressive, hopefully its not coming across like that!!

S9/S9+ on T-Mobile received October security today!
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] Rally517:
What is it? Build number
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] galaxy4mylife:
This is for the S9+.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] Mehdi0507:
Hello Guys!

Usually Samsung launched the beta between 31stOctober and 2nd November. Will it be sooner this time so maybe this upcoming week?

Also last year for the S8 in the first phase they included the US, South Korea and the UK. Then in the second phase they added Germany, France, India and much more.

Could it be that this time more countrys are gonna be involved than last year.

I would like to discuss when you think the beta will start. I'm checking everyday the Samsung Newsroom Webpage as they would inform everyone there and I'm also checking the Samsung Members app ever day.

I'm excited to get Android P with the Samsung Experience 10 but maybe I should chill a bit and wait some days.

Btw I live in Germany and have a unlocked S9+ (DBT).

Have a great night or day!
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] galaxy4mylife:
The US, UK and south Korea will be phase 1 as they are larger markets for feedback. And I'm still looking at the first week of November for the launch of the beta.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] Matstarr:
Just a heads up. I'm not saying this will 100% happen. I am stating what happened last year. Last year Samsung blocked phones IMEIs from the beta because they used the Alpha. Those people weren't allowed to participate. Again this is a just in case post.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] :
They would know even if you odin'd back to Oreo?
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] davidalindsey:
I have heard that as well

I just got the Oct 1st OTA update from T-Mobile.

I think I can wait one more week or two weeks when it should be out officially
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] Matstarr:
Again I'm just going by what happened last year. They blocked the device even if you flashed back. There was a huge uproar on the message boards about it when the beta came out and certain people couldn't get in.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] Rally517:

If so.... pretty sure, someone will upload the odin files. Fingers are crossed lol
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] Matstarr:
Actually thanks for bringing that up. Last year the beta did leak and I'm assuming all the people locked out were able to get it, just not from Samsung
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] galaxy4mylife:
Where there is a roadblock there is an access road haha.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] crixley:
Last year we got every beta anyway, so meh... I don't mind flashing them myself.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] ChongoDroid:
I've actually never received an OTA on my 960w so I'm ok with flashing the updates anyways.

firmware.science has delta OTA updates so same same.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] amazin1988:
So should I go back to arg8 and than do the October update than upload the newest build? Or just wait for the beta to pop up.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] WuNgUn:
You'll have to be on the latest security patch to get the beta I would think.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] :
I can't even get a good dl of ARG8... They all download SUPER slow, like a gig per 2 hours ?
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] crixley:
I wish we could get W files of otas. ?
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] WuNgUn:

Let us know when there's a build for the regular s9 G960U
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] amazin1988:
So what is the best build to be on to get the beta? I'm thinking of going back to arg8 and doing the October update and see what happens from there.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] legojoe8:
You don't really choose. You Odin to whatever build is specified. In this case its ARI6
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] SlackingVeteran:
All good man, I can snag regular S9 builds as well. I just need help to compile url. Probably need help someone who has att phone if not att S9 then I need someone who is willing to factory reset to help me get the beta
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] amazin1988:
Is it worth it?
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] legojoe8:
I'm sure it is. I don't have an s9+ so I can try it yet. Waiting for regular s9 beta to pop up. Check out [MENTION=5187994]suyash1629[/MENTION]'s post in the previous few posts for screenshots and details

[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] ThunderingLight:
Can you explain how you plan on using our help? I think most people want clarification on what they should do if they want to help you.

You mentioned that people need to have ATT S9? Or need to Factory Reset? So what are the requirements to help you?

I have a factory unlocked S9. What should I do,
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] legojoe8:
What exactly is the process and what does if involve. If I know more about it I might be willing
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] SlackingVeteran:
Well I either need someone who has att device on previous build and an regular latest ota is available to download for them. For example someone who is on ARG8 and has ota update available to download. If not att device then need to flash pie alpha build for S9 change CSC to ATT and go back to ARI6 if there is ota update from ARI6 available if not need to flash back to ARG8.

For non ATT device safe route to help me is to flash ARG8 then sideload CRI5 and while on CRI5 change CSC to ATT using dialer secret code which is *#243203855# then flash back to ARG8 and wait for my further instruction
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] legojoe8:
That sounds a little too risky for my taste. I only got one phone. but at least now other people know how to help if they're willing

Samsung Pay doesn't work. It needs an update from samsung. Previous issue of samsung pay on Alpha builds were fixed after update pushed on October 18th. This likely needs fix from samsung as well

Yeah. That's unfortunately the result I'm trying to avoid, alot of people are having that issue

[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] juni12:
Yes, the beta flashing works and it is a pretty good build but im dealing with the IMEI issue now xD. Because this build is not certified so I wanted to downgrade.

EDIT: I flashed back to Pie and then downgraded and it works. IMEI and baseband fixed.

For the record it works fine, just make sure you have a different launcher installed

adb shell pm disable-user --user 0 com.sec.android.app.launcher

Awesome!!! Thanks :D
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] illmatic24:
Ok I fixed this issue by disabling the screen lock sound. Pretty sure it's still a bug though because I didn't have this issue in CRJ3.

If you disable Samsung experience for user 0 then you wont be able to install it back again anymore

[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] illmatic24:
If u listen to music and lock the phone the screen lock sound interfers with the audio and there is a slight glitch, happens when you unlock using fingerprint also.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] crixley:
yep you just run adb shell pm enable --user 0 com.sec.android.app.launcher

just tried it

[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] galaxy4mylife:
I mean the builds are ready, on the servers..... I hope!
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] crixley:
Should maybe change your post since it is incorrect. Disable is not delete, and you can reenable it in two seconds flat. For the record I agree with you deleting it would be dumb.

I'm sure I'm not the only user who likes full screen immersive with gestures (fluid navigation gestures from play store is the shizz :P), and who doesn't want to need to run samsung launcher just so the home button works properly
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] SlackingVeteran:
I noticed that after I posted. Not worried about editing post. Already been posting a lot, replying messages and all.

It's all good. You are right. You command was to disable not to uninstall
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] capeorigins:
So, the home gesture works if launcher is disabled?

I'll chime in about the sound lock issue when I flash in a couple hours.

probably will be pretty simple The Flash 2 the official beta, even if I'm on unofficial beta right?

If you're on 960w firmware you have to flash to U1 firmware before flashing to tmobile.

I flashed tmobile because its required to be on that firmware before adb sideload the alpha pie build.

Good idea, I'll do that later.

It's not bad at all in fact its unbelievably easy.

No editing anything, no timing anything, etc.

I don't get the fuss, stay on regular firmware if you're not comfortable flashing alpha builds.

I'd suggest getting familiar with the models and the procedure of flashing with Odin before attempting something like this.
