Why when someone says the truth he's called "asshole" now? Truth pill can be hard to swallow but that doesn't change the fact it's a truth pill.

We live in a world that people got used to lies and hypocrites lying to them every day that anybody that dares to tell the truth and stop sucking up he's automatically called what everyone got brainwashed and trained to say "you're an asshole" .

You know more than me that there're so many articles full of bull*** because their writers decided to "guess" and speculate instead of reading and checking his sources , and I'm sure you don't like these writers either just like me.

There's a saying that people get mad at those who tell the truth instead of being mad at the people who lied. And well , here's a proof.

And I'm definitely curious and excited to what you're going to type tomorrow , looking forward to it. Peace.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] WuNgUn:
When you say tomorrow, do you mean like Eastern Standard time, or Samsung Korea time?

[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] galaxyYtester:
He probably means Sunday (today, the 14th), because he sent that message when it was Saturday (yesterday, the 13th) where he lives. So the portal post with Pie news is coming in less than a day.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] WuNgUn:
Maybe... I mean, I hope!

XDA Portal...? What's that? Official announcements and such?

Or a gateway to download from Samsung servers? :)

Beta on the way... Maybe explains why we haven't had a Pie leak in a week on firmware Science....?
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] amazin1988:
When is the release?
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] WuNgUn:
Z beta build for S9+ seen on servers... Not in the wild yet.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] gitlygit:
I would like to know this as well. I think this question got overlooked in all the vitreol being spread about. ????
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] WuNgUn:
Isn't Snapdragon Samsung's own processor? And Exynos is a 3rd party processor....?
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] legojoe8:
No it's the other way around. Exynos is Samsung but the US doesn't get phones with them. Snapdragons are used in many other phones as well as the US versions of Samsung's flagships
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] WuNgUn:
That's weird... I have no clue then.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] Vordx:
Let's first look at all the phones that got Android pie.

All of them are snapdragon. Google makes the Android version and the only chip they work on is snapdragon (pixel and Nexus phones) so when Samsung wants to start making their version of Android they first have to start with what they have which is snapdragon. When it's stable enough they launch beta for exynos.

I think this thread should be closed and links removed as we are having lots not be able to Odin back to Oreo, I know this cause we have a community in Discord and we have people there that can't go back to Oreo, it fails when try to Odin back, especially if you don't know what your doing
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] Rydah:
Exactly! Mods, either provide all the info and download to get back on Oreo or close this. This isn't for noobs.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] ChongoDroid:
It works on 960w

Flash to 960U1 firmware and then flash over to t mobile 960U firmware and then take this update

I have it running right now
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] Rally517:
Pressed everything don't see what you mean. Idk. Think this is it
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] legojoe8:
So can you explain what to do then? I can warn in the main post before anyone takes this thread down
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] kidallstar95:
I was able to flash the stock Oreo build and did a Factory reset, everything was fine afterwards. (Tmobile S9+)

ARG8?

---------- Post added at 07:54 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:53 PM ----------

Guide from our discord:

**THIS POST IS A W.I.P**

The trick to get back on Oreo from the Pie leaks is kinda tricky but really easy. Weirdly, going back to the latest official Oreo build doesn't work. It'll flash, but won't boot. . . Fortunately I quickly found a way to get back on Oreo but it requires a bit of work. All the files needed can be found in the linked messages of this channel.

You'll need the following:

• Odin 3.13.1 (make sure you have the Samsung mobile USB drivers installed.)

• ARG8 Odin files (latest stock Oreo as of now)

• ARI6 OTA File (latest leak of stable Oreo; place the OTA on your SD card.)

Instructions:

1. Boot into download mode

2. Flash ARG8 within Odin using regular CSC (In Odin, turn off Auto Reboot in the options tab; Using CSC will wipe data but that's the only way it'll work. Sorry, you were warned not to flash Pie)

3. Once Odin has flashed ARG8, unplug your phone (make sure it says PASSES on the progress bar within Odin)

4. Hold VOL DOWN+POWER until your phone reboots. Once the screen goes black, relase the buttons and immediately hold VOL UP+BIXBY+POWER to boot into recovery mode. [Note: it'll say it's erasing or installing update, ignore that. The phone will then reboot after this.]

5. After booting into recovery on step 4, recovery mode will automatically try to reboot into the system. Before it can boot, do the same thing as step 4, boot into recovery mode. (VOL UP+BIXBY+POWER)

6. Once you're completely in recovery, select the Install Update from SD Card option and navigate to your ARI6 update zip. Now flash it like you did with the PIE leaks.

7. That's it, it'll reboot on it's own.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] Venom0642:
Also you should rename your thread title as this isn't official firmware this will confuse new people, should be Called Alpha Pie Firmware .
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] kidallstar95:
Yes I used the modified Odin. Placed all corresponding files in correct places except USER_DATA, and it passed, afterwards I booted into recovery and factory rested.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] Rydah:
That's cool. Your like the only person who it's worked for.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] legojoe8:
ok dont get triggered but how do I edit the thread title?
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] ChongoDroid:
I've been muting them for 2hrs at a time lol making them non intrusive helps too

---------- Post added at 06:25 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:20 AM ----------

When was the developer section of XDA for noobs?

If you can't figure it out then maybe you shouldn't be playing with early alpha builds on a device with a locked bootloader.

Lmao seems kinda obvious.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] Gregbmil1:
I don't get it, why would people want to go back to ok Oreo? The only reason I was almost thinking about it is the horrible sound when connected to Bluetooth in my car. It was the only Bluetooth connection in tried so far, it sounded terrible. I didn't mess with the Bluetooth switches in Developer Options yet but I'm guessing it won't do much, pull I have absolutely no idea what any of it means, lol......trial and error.

Besides that I love Android 9.

BTW, does anyone know what Metered WiFi is? If I turn it on in can't get online with anything
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] amazin1988:
Hey just flashed and I love it. Hope they bring it to where it's swipe left and right to apps. So front Cam and back cam work for me snapdragon s9 plus. If you go in development mode you'll see some call night mode if you turn if off kinda helps with all that black they got going on. I guess on reset it goes back to always on so you'll have to put it to always off again also when you turn that off and turn dark theme off most of what you couldn't see you'll be able to see. P.S. remember if you reset your phone or if turns off you have to turn that alway night mode back to off.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] amazin1988:
Here some more photos
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] WuNgUn:
Cool...

Why flash T-Mobile in between?

You obviously used Odin... Did you flash the BL that was in this alpha build as well? Or just the AP?
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] Crsdr37:
Fixed that by using app freezer and freezing securitylogagent

Didn't need Odin the question is if I want to flash back how hard is it been a while.

Firmware Trouble

Hey guys, I was hoping somebody here could help point me in the right direction. I’ve installed the pie alpha successfully but would like to go back to Oreo due to bugs and instability with my Galaxy Watch. Following the directions to go back I was able to get back to Oreo but my service was failing to work. I keep getting a message saying to “Power off your device and insert the service provider UICC.” I have a carrier unlocked S9 that I bought directly from Samsung and have coverage through Sprint. I’ve tried flashing ARF4_SPR, ARI1_SPR, ARI1_XAR, and ARI6 to no avail. I keep getting the same message with all of the firmwares. If anyone could suggest what firmware I should be flashing it would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] dbrohrer:
Someone had success flashing ARI6 via odin and immediately booting into recovery and updating to the newest B series firmware (uncheck reboot option in odin). I cannot confirm if that works. Sounds like most people with issues are on Sprint.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] dylsiph_jones:
When you say B series are you referring to the BRI9 firmware? And thank you for the quick response!
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] dbrohrer:
Correct. Sorry, I should have specified. Hopefully BRI9 is new enough. On the g965u side there is newer B firmware that guys are using to get back to oreo. I haven't tried to go back to oreo on my g960u yet.

The B firmware is BYOD so in theory it should solve problems like these. IE you should be able to pop a sim in a s9 with B firmware and it will switch CSC and register the sim without an issue. I think its worth a shot for you.

Good luck.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] dylsiph_jones:
Ok awesome, I’ll try that when I get done with work. Thanks again for all the help. I’ll report back and confirm if that works just in case anyone else is running into this issue.

Yup! Flashed ARI6 then recovery updated to BRJ3. Gotta bootloop after that but just did a factory reset and I was in. Service and all. :D
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] capeorigins:
Some of the Samsung apps just updated today, the first time I've had them update while on PIE. Definitely think they're preparing for beta

I read it saying we have to sign up for beta or the leak build will actually turn into beta idk I've been trying to find where to sign up at any idea anyone?

I heard it's be available from your Samsung members or Samsung+ app when it's time
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] amazin1988:
Yeah tried nothing shows up so I guess when it's time it will pop up.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] Alphaman10:

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

Right. I just read it earlier
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] galaxy4mylife:
The support pages are updated but where is this official announcement from samsung? I dont see it on Samsung Newsroom. Link please?

An official announcement would have a launch date. Just saying.

Link to the official announcement?
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] WuNgUn:
Okay, not officially announced... And it won't until it goes live. But like I said, you can see the FAQ and EULA webpages for it already.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] galaxy4mylife:
I'm not saying its not coming haha. Just saying it could be in the next 5 min it could be November it's not official till Samsung officially says.

Yeah, sorry... Didn't wanna give the impression that the signup was open or anything. Lol
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] galaxy4mylife:
I've been thru the 7.0 and 8.0 beta game I know the rules lmao. Won't stop me from checking like a hawk over the next few weeks though. Last year it was early November so I'm placing my beta then. As I recall the FAQ was updated a bit before the program was launched then too.

I have a Verizon S9+ and I OTAd to the CRJ3 build from recovery. Upon going back to Oreo, I get the unknown baseband and IMEI error. In this thread people have been saying to just update to P, and then odin back ARG8. Well, no combination of anything I have tried has gotten a restored IMEI on Oreo. Is there something else I'm missing?
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] Freeddi:
Is there the Always on Display apk from Galaxy S9 with Android 9.0 Pie available to download? I like the new colored Notifications
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] galaxy4mylife:
I doubt it will install on any device. Its probably 9.0 dependent and requires updates system code to work correctly anyways.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] crixley:
Flash the original Verizon firmware, including the CSC

Only way I was able to get signal back on a 960w
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] ChongoDroid:
Are you flashing this with your sim card in?

I'm on CRJ5 on the g960U
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] ironbesterer:
Yes. I'm incompetent, but not that incompetent. I've tried flashing every firmware I can think of with no luck. CRJ3 is the only one that works, so I might be stuck with it.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] capeorigins:
Well I kinda wish I hadn't flashed CRJ5. The previous version seemed more stable to me. This is crashing at least 3 times a day, almost every day I have to restart my phone lmao.

I never regret anything though, just almost do hahaha

Edit: oops, no I meant CRJ3. False alarm guys sorry
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] bassman418:
Where did you locate the CRJ5 ? I havent seen it for the S9+ or Note 9 yet.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] crixley:
I'm gonna guess he means CRJ3
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] ChongoDroid:
You mean BRJ5.

On a side note, this is the best Oreo firmware. Much better battery life etc.

I know this is the pie alpha thread so I apologise for going OT

I am on ARF8 CURRENTLY. Which oreo build do I need to download a diff version to my sd and update before I do this
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] :
Hi, sorry for asking this here, but if I flash BRJ5 will I receive OTAs? I'm on S9 Plus, Verizon.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] Beesvee:
It's possible, I guess. Is the Playstore certified on this build? As long as Verizon (or whatever carrier you have) updates to 3BRJ5 you should receive OTAs after that.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] capeorigins:
Which model do you have? I'd strongly recommend waiting for week or so. Because the beta may be out, which means less likely to accidentally ruin phone.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] :
It says my playstore is play protect certified, not positive if that's the same
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] galaxy4mylife:
The beta firmware will have a new build number, containing a z. I'm not sure updating to that will do any good. As you know Verizon isn't apart of the beta so any official means are not going to work.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] :
BRJ5 is Oreo, it's the better update from what I understand. I flashed it last night and can tell a difference in speed already. I was just curious if it received otas
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] galaxy4mylife:
I'm sorry. There are too many builds floating around to keep them straight lol. Since I JOD my phone I cant risk flashing anything that isn't officially released by tmo. That's why I'm still on August security. Hope Pie beta has October or November lmao.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] davidalindsey:
I have a SM-G965U on ARG8 Aug 1st security patch.

Waiting for the Galaxy Beta Program to get Pie...

In the meantime could I flash the G965USQU3CRJ3 Oct 10 build

And could still get the official beta update from Samsung when it goes live?

Or an official OTA from T-Mobile after flashing the Oct 10 build?

Also is the Oct 10 build okay for a daily phone?

Mainly just need phone calls, text, wifi and Samsung pay working.

Thanks.View attachment 4623946

I wouldn't, I'd stay where you're at because you'd have to flash back to Oreo anyway. the alphas don't get otas
