Samsung is slow even releasing Betas updates, Im gonna give it until tomorrow if they dont give us the OTA im gonna start flashing the Firmware science leaks, F.SC has releseed 2 build already and samsung beta 0 wow that a shame
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] macmane36:
I mean they the same builds whether Samsung or firmware science. Samsung just takes too damn long for me
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] HtcOnekid:
we just love flashing away **** lol I am always looking for something to flash I dont know why , I feel accomplished

Which device?
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] KARLOSFIRST:
me too i love flashing its like a good smoker that most have a cup of coffee right after every bud Fu...ck it I'm flashing :D

---------- Post added at 04:01 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:58 AM ----------

i just don't want to lose my beta test by flashing a leak but i guess i got to take my chances because Samsung is taking too damn long to update
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] aaronisham95:
Whichever one gets you otas. You should just be able to update via ota server once you flash to arg8. That's what happened for me at least. No beta tho I have AT&T so yeah.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] Malnilion:
I think it's funny that it's only been a week and a day since the official beta started and folks are still chomping at the bit for a new official OTA ?

If this was a Google beta, you'd be waiting a month, maybe 2 months. With Samsung, previous beta testers have indicated they've done 2 week cycles. If so, that means we should see something next week.

If you're a flash junky, you picked the wrong phone!
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] Tel864:
LOL, I think that used to be me. I used Moto phones for years because you could flash something new almost daily. While working on a firmware I think I once flashed my Moto G3 25 or 30 times in one day. I don't have any inclination to root or flash on the S9, maybe I'm getting old. ? Well that and it can't be done even if I wanted.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] :
If youre on BRJ6 you can flash the recent pie build from recovery according to someone on another S9 thread

That's what I wondered. I'm having the shakes.... need to flash something:laugh:
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] stanleyopar2000:
Can I Odin to BRJ5 from (Beta) ZRK9 to update.zip to CRKE on Tmobile?
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] Rally517:
How is everybody's battery life since latest build??
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] KARLOSFIRST:
I'd like to know the same thing because Samsung is taking too long to release the update and there's 2 leaks builds out already the [CRKD and CRKE] and they can even release not even one. i wouldn't care if there wasn't no leaks out, and i bet you that when they finally release the update its gonna be the same CRKD or CRKE while we wait impatiently for the same update that we can flash from Firmware.science
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] stanleyopar2000:
....this is exactly what I did. Now if you do not factory reset, brj5 will not be bootable so download your brj5 >> CRKE update.zip before you Odin back to Brj5
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] vazersecurity:
G960U (Sprint)
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] KARLOSFIRST:
yes i know but what i like to know is that will i be able to go back to the beta program just in case that's my question
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] KARLOSFIRST:
For those who want to know if you lose the Beta program membership if you go back to BRJ5, I just went back to ARI6 and then uptaded to BRJ5 through settings and i didn't lose my beta program membership, now I'm flashing the CRKE
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] vazersecurity:
I think this answered my question, I'll try this.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] :
So I'm on the (leaked) beta(CRKE) which is running flawless, but in case I do want to go back to Oreo I just flash BRJ6 and my baseband and IMEI, etc will be intact? G965U, Verizon
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] EagerestWolf:
In theory, but you have to do a factory reset from recovery. Now, my FAQ is based on a lot of research from this thread and the answers people have already given. I don't guarantee it'll work. Also, make sure you get BRJ6 for the 965. The BRJ6 I linked is for the 960.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] :
Thank you for clarifying, If I do go back I'll post how it went for others to know. Sometimes if something is posted here others do report something different that's why I asked ?
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] EagerestWolf:
Never a bad idea to clarify. So, how do you like the beta? Is all the Verizon stuff working on the 965? Everything seems to work as intended on the 960.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] :
So far everything is working, I have not tried the my Verizon app yet but Verizon cloud is working, not that I use it and voice mail app is working, can't wait for advanced messaging to work!
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] EagerestWolf:
Yeah advanced messaging isn't working for me either, but the myVerizon app does work for me. Heck, when I go into software update, I even get a OneUI version of the Verizon update screen, which leads me to believe that they may be adding Verizon to the beta soon.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] :
That's awesome because in earlier builds it wouldn't even let me sign in to the my Verizon app because it recognized my phone as unknown or unofficial!
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] EagerestWolf:
It's possible it could be how I did it though. I followed my own guide and flashed Verizon BRJ5 firmware and then sideloaded the update.zip. if you did the U1 flash, that could be why
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] :
well I did flash u1 to get on the official beta, but now I'm on the leaked beta. I just flashed BRJ5 with Odin and flashed CRKE in recovery. I got a replacement from Verizon so I had to deregister before sending it back and I couldn't reregister on my new one.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] EagerestWolf:
Ah, okay. That may be why myVerizon didn't work before. I do know it's working on mine. I also just discovered that HD Voice and Video Calling are also working on the beta.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] :
Yeah as is mine! I do feel though we won't get advanced messaging until official Verizon release because as far as I know that is based on the carrier end of things it's just wether the phone supports it or not which ours will obviously lol
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] EagerestWolf:
Yeah, Verizon is supposed to be rolling out advanced messaging in Q1 2019. Ironically, the same time that Pie is supposed to be released for the S9/S9+. Coincidence? Probably.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] :
No coincidence at all, it's all in the plan!
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] EagerestWolf:
Yeah probably
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] Bxrider117:
So I flashed the latest beta build and what I noticed immediately is that CRKE doesn't get as hot as the latest SO build. This will hopefully add to better battery life.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] :
My battery life has been decent not as good as BRJ6 was though, that Oreo build was MAGNIFICENT
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] EagerestWolf:
Honestly I feel like my battery life is pretty substantially improved, but I also have my hotspot running like 24/7 because I'm a trucker, so maybe they just improved the hotspot routine.

Also, I have found a bug if anyone wants to report it. If your launcher is set to anything besides Samsung Experience Home (I use Nova Launcher Prime), then the home gesture takes you to recent apps instead of the launcher, and if you even touch where the home navigation is, you get the recent apps.

---------- Post added at 03:59 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:50 PM ----------

I found a temporary fix when the issue occurs, set your launcher to Samsung Experience Home and then switch it back and gesture nav works fine again. Issue occurs with nav indicators on or off.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] :
does anybody have the APK for the Samsung members app that comes with the beta release of pie? it did not come on the lake build of crke and I cannot find it online
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] EagerestWolf:
Just download it from Galaxy Apps.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] :
I did but it's not the One UI version
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] EagerestWolf:
Oh well that's odd. Well here's the link to it on APKMirror, you should be able to get the newest beta version there.

So I'm running CRKE, G965U and it all of the sudden doesn't recognize my SD card. restarted and powered off phone and to no avail... anyone else face this issue?
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] EagerestWolf:
I'm not sure. I just popped an SD card in my 960U and it works fine. Have you tried taking it out, backing up the files with a PC and then reformatting it?
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] :
I'll try taking it out and putting it back in this happened out of complete randomness I was listening to music and then all the sudden my music stopped Samsung music froze and my SD card wasn't showing up under storage or in my files
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] Aakash Kaushal:
So I finally flashed one ui beta on Canadian s9+( g965w)

Everything is awesome, except one thing which is slow wifi or less signal issue. I think it's related to CSC. If anyone can share Canadian CSC that wouldn't be appreciated :)
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] KARLOSFIRST:
do a factory reset that should take care of it
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] Aakash Kaushal:
I already did. Every thing deleted on my phone. Its related to Csc. I just need any Canadian csc.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] ChongoDroid:
It's just the way signal is represented on status bar. For some reason on any firmware other than W the bars show as less. But if you use an app to check actual signal strength it's the same.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] HellDiverUK:
That's indicative of a dodgy SD card. Try a different (good) card. Hint: SanDisk Ultra is not a good card.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] EagerestWolf:
I really like the gesture navigation, but I kinda wish Samsung would have gone the iOS or at least stock Pie route and taken full advantage of it instead of just using gestures for the default Android navbar
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] cyberon:
IOS is ok, but Pixel is really bad immo.

But I still prefer navigation buttons.

lockscreen first

Hi,

I have fingerprint and pattern (I hope the right translation) enabled on latest official beta.

If I lock my device always the possibility to input my pattern comes.

Wanted to get my lockscreen first and then to unlock with my pattern. I there a possiblity to change the priority?
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] :
It's not dodgy, it's a Samsung Evo, and I've had it a couple months without problem. It worked 100 until that one random incident last night. SD Manager found zero problems even comes up just fine in my laptop. I remember some one else had this happen in an early build and they just restarted their phone and they were good.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] HellDiverUK:
Doesn't matter if it's the world's most expensive card, it can still fail. Just because it happens to be a Samsung EVO doesn't mean it's going to last forever.

But, hey, just you carry on coming on here asking for advice, then dismiss those who try and help...you know where you can stick your SD card.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] :
Ugh, wow, I wasn't coming off like that so you can take YOUR advice and stick it mate. I was simply saying that I didn't have a cheap card, you're ridiculous I take all the advice I can other wise I wouldn't ask.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] HellDiverUK:
Yet you clearly haven't listened. I'm saying it doesn't matter if it's a Whoofungdung card from eBay or a Samsung Pro Plus, or whatever, any cards can and do fail.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] :
I think there has been some miscommunication here, look, I know devices fail, every one knows that. But what ever you're going through it'll be okay mate. You don't have to attack people for no reason in a forum where they actively try and help others and get help. Any way, G'day!
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] KARLOSFIRST:
falconmoonpunch don't pay no mind to HellDiverUK is just bored or going through some traumatic situation, when you see a person like HellDiverUK who attacks people for no reason just stay away from them

[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] KARLOSFIRST:
falconmoonpunch lest talk about something more important. How is your battery life going? I'm running the latest leak built because the beta took too long

---------- Post added at 04:11 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:09 PM ----------

My s9plu be freezing alot and I did a factory reset
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] :
My battery life is okay, not as good as the latest Oreo update though. BRJ6 battery life is incredible! well it was for me anyway especially with heavy use.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] KARLOSFIRST:
Okay lest see how it behaves for now on because my battery life in CRKE it's just okay not great maybe it'll get better with time
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] ChongoDroid:
Most betas have lots of logging and extra code. I wouldn't look into battery life that much.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] :
well the updates have certainly, and mostly brought us decent improvement. I started fresh with this build so I literally think it's just that, the build. I'll see how does today maybe adaptive battery and the firmware itself just need to settle. We should see another update in a few days anyway.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] KARLOSFIRST:
No I'm just saying because my battery life was superb in the beta version but in the leak version not that great

Do you recommend flashing ZRKJ over CRKE?

I mean is it worth updating?

I personally haven't flashed it just yet. Waiting to hear from others if it's worth it.

Has anyone been able to Odin flash back to Oreo? My odin seems to be stuck on "SetupConnection" everytime I try to odin. I'm using official Odin 3.13.1. Should I use PrinceComsy Odin?
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] EagerestWolf:
Sometimes Odin does get stuck on SetupConnection when you select a file to flash. Remember, some of these are large files that it has to run hashes on and verify. For me the AP usually takes around 10-15 minutes to verify because my laptop sucks and has a dual-core Intel Celeron

---------- Post added at 07:20 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:16 PM ----------

Also, I'm confused about this ZRKJ build. I don't see one for the G960U, is it S9+ only?
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] ThunderingLight:
Which version number of the samsung USB drivers do you have? Just curious because now Odin says can't open the COM port.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] KARLOSFIRST:
you have to run Odin as administrator and then it should be good to go
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] EagerestWolf:
I'm not 100% sure what version I downloaded them from Samsung's website when I bought my S9 months ago. I can suggest uninstalling and reinstalling the drivers, rebooting your PC, or trying a different USB port. My laptop is picky, Odin only works on 1 USB port.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] cbissa18:
*********update on sm-g965u

*********kj firmware

battery life is great

I tried: running Odin 3.13.1 as administrator, plugging into a different USB port, reinstalling the latest Samsung USB Driver 1.5.65.0, rebooting my PC, and using admin Modded Odin 3.13.1 all with no avail. I tried to use SmartSwitch but it gets stuck at 0% and fails.

All I want to do is go back to Oreo ARJ6 from Official Beta Pie ZRK9 on my 960U1. Why is this so difficult!!!	:eek:	:eek:
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] EagerestWolf:
I'm not 100% sure then. People are downflashing to Oreo a lot to flash the latest betas. I'm sorry, I really wish I had some more constructive advice, but you have tried everything I can think to try.

[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] theredspecial:
Is ZRK9 the most recent build or what can I update to? I'm having bluetooth problems.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] EagerestWolf:
ZRKJ is the most recent build, but at the moment there are only files for the G965U (S9+)
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] theredspecial:
Thanks, that's what I have. Can I install via Odin and keep all my data?
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] EagerestWolf:
You can only get to ZRKJ from BRJ5, so you must flash down using Odin which requires wiping your userdata to get back to Oreo, then flash the update.zip using sideload or an SD Card.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] ThunderingLight:
YES!!! It finally worked. Thank you so much! The Odin process started and is running smoothly now. Hopefully it continues and finishes so I can have Oreo on my S9 again
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] EagerestWolf:
Good deal, glad that worked for you. If your phone doesn't boot once Odin finishes, don't panic, just go into recovery and do a factory reset.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] theredspecial:
Ah ok, I guess I'll just wait.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] Aakash Kaushal:
Can we flash ZRKJ over CRKE without loosing data?
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] EagerestWolf:
As far as I am aware, no. You can keep your SD Card data, but to go back to Oreo, which is a requirement for installing ZRKJ unless you are active in the beta program, you have to perform a factory reset. Android Oreo data is compatible with Pie, but Oreo has no clue what to do with Pie data.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] Bxrider117:
To update to the latest leak you need to use Odin and go back to BRJ5 then flashed the update zip of the latest leak.
