[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] thevance1:
First off I just want to say thanks to all the contributors that are helping with this. I'm successfully running csa4 on my Verizon sm-n960u. That being said, and trying not to sound ungrateful, this would have been SO much easier with a quick step by step guide on the first post, or at least a link to one. I've been a lurker since the s1 fascinate days when this type of step by step guide practice was a standard for obvious reasons. I took a hiatus from really modding anything for a few years and come back to these cluttered, confusing threads where people snowball the clutter in the thread asking questions and arguing about installation instructions because it's always posted somewhere in 300 pages, but never on the original post, where it's easy to find and will save so many posts, so much time and arguements. Sorry for the rant and further cluttering the thread. And please don't misunderstand me. I'm very appreciative for this thread and the contributors. I just think that they were onto something back in 2010 when it the standard to have clear instructions or a link in the original post. I apologize in advance if there's a really good reason that I overlooked for not doing it this way anymore. And please try not to take offense. I just think it would be helpful to everyone in this thread including the contributors. Long story short I'm agreeing with what a few other people have posted here already. Thanks again though to everybody for the hard work.

Hey guys, I bought a new SD845 unlocked version just a couple days ago and still trying to get used to the naming conventions. Mine is a U1 model. I like that it has no carrier bloatware. I was looking to install the one UI on it. I see there are references of ATT rom in the one UI. So if I follow this process, will my unlocked bloat free Oreo upgrade to ATT Pi ROM with ATT bloatware? Please advice.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] gizm0luvsu:
If you install the u1 firmware you will have no bloat except the bloat you install.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] NotATreoFan:
Since you have U1, just install the latest OTAs through Software Update, then open the Samsung+ app and register for the official beta. You will be on the Z release channel, and remain free of carrier bloat.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] pcriz:
It's easier to correct in the moment than actually maintain a guide I suppose. I would reason to bet its easier to go to the first page of a post than piecing through results. At least as far as the easy step by step stuff that never changes. Sure would be easier to say "check op" than make a whole to-do about search. Hard to excuse someone not reading the op.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] tx_dbs_tx:
Calm down buddy. My post wasn't directed at you specifically. I've read all 300 plus pages in this thread and I'm fully aware of who has made good contributions to this thread. I'm simply pointing out the obvious. Instead of people repeating instructions and repeating the same posts over and over about "read back a few pages" etc., a person such as yourself whom has already posted instructions and other useful information (including your copy & paste insults) could simply create a new guide thread and title it appropriately. Then link people to your guide thread. Problem solved. No more needless posts. This is something everybody would appreciate. I think you've proven your commitment to helping people so I nominate you to create a guide thread. LOL. If you don't want to then I understand BUT that means you won't have time to post repeat content here in this thread. Right?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Rwhyayn:

Side note, its fun sorting through all the e-arguments to find information. Keep it up guys
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Mr. Orange 645:
I think the OP used to have a link to the original XDA article, which included a guide. I looked and there's no longer a link in the OP, which is why so many people are asking for instructions.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] pcriz:
The guide wasnt being updated if I remember correctly, as early as when the sdcard stopped working

Edit: No it wasnt updated when the base build for the leaks changed..
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] ceo.mtcl:
My latest OTA is November 1st security patch one. I don't see any option in Samsung plus app to register for beta ... Am I missing something?

Thanks for your quick response
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] pcriz:
If you haven't you also need to sign up for the Samsung + beta in the playstore..
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] lowkey74:
If you have att phone you won't see it.

---------- Post added at 05:23 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:23 PM ----------

I don't think it's for any US carrier phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Mr. Orange 645:
Mine is an ATT branded Note 9. I installed the U1 firmware and signed up for the official beta through the Samsung+ app. As long as he's running the U1 firmware it doesn't matter if it was originally a carrier branded device.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Venom0642:
I suggest for those wanting start odin to 1ARJA this baby here i am downloading now and will post here soon 1CSA7 :p:p:p
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] ceo.mtcl:
I don't have ATT phone. I have the phone directly from Samsung "Unlocked by Samsung U1 model".

Is it possible that the beta program is closed now?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] pcriz:

Beta version
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] tx_dbs_tx:
HaHa! I knew it! I wonder if there's going to be a Friday surprise too? This morning I told myself I would only flash end of the week leaks because they are coming in daily. I wish we could get some leaked changelogs or dev patch notes. LOL
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] pcriz:
I should clarify, the beta versions weren't explicitly named so for Samsung Plus. So this one doesn't say it in the description but I checked with two other procedures for getting on the One UI beta and both mentioned the version I linked.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] butchieboy:
I for one am more then happy to flash every other day..lol

I installed the app linked above, signed into the Samsung account. Are there any other steps to follow from here on Sir?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] thevance1:
Even when there is a guide, it's so helpful when it's detailed since there's no longer have separate sections for different carriers and there's an update header in red or blue or whatever with a date that says this is the current flash method as of such and such a date, any warnings of common issues etc. A little bit of hand holding initially would make for a lot less hand holding later on.... and maybe 250 pages instead of 350. I'm also guilty of cluttering the thread right now though. And I admittedly haven't been on these forums for a long time but with super thorough guides in the past, I was able to do anything I wanted just lurking and reading without ever having to post questions, or anything really. Lol. But since I'm not volunteering to write a guide, I won't beat a dead horse about it. I just think it would improve any thread. Again, thank you to Venom and everyone who did take time out of their days to make all of this possible to begin with and help all of us out
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] pcriz:
There should be a banner for the One UI Beta
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] DAGr8:
Aight, I guess I will waste a post aswell.

Y'all realise when you answer someone and tell him to search you are doing the same exact thing as him and clustering the thread. I just skipped 15 pages today because many of you are going back and forth. If someone wants to answer, ( unless it's past the 42nd time limit <3 ) just answer properly otherwise move on. If he keeps asking just report him. Try you will see it actually takes less time then lecturing. As a bonus, guys like me can read everything that's going on and also do a quick search and get actual answers in the results instead of getting the same question.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] ceo.mtcl:
Is it hidden somewhere in the menus? This is what my app looks like...
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] butchieboy:
When I did beta, my banner would only pop up really quick on the left. If I missed it I would have to close the app open it again and be quick to press it
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] pcriz:
This is what it would look like. Maybe it is closed.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] revisioncuda:
give it an hour or more
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] pcriz:
I kind of wonder since they are pushing official builds. Why keep the beta going.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] NotATreoFan:
You may need the Samsung+ beta app update. You can download it from APKmirror.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Mr. Orange 645:
Okay. What sparked this most recent debate was my post. I answered the guys questions. I helped him out of a jam and filled in the details. I spent two or three posts helping him.

He made the comment that he wished he knew it sooner, so I explained the person that helped probably forgot some detsils because it's been posted several times, and they were just giving him the highlights.

All I did was SUGGEST if he had some extra time to skim through the last 20-30 pages so he could learn some valuable information about the different builds, how to install them, etc. I never told him to search, I never berated him, and I never refused to answer his questions. I said it as nicely as I could as a way to HELP him out.

HE took offense to that and basically told me to calm down and said it was ridiculous I expected him to read all 300 pages, which I never did. Despite the fact I never said that, I apologized that he misunderstood and took offense Then everyone jumped on it saying we were wasting time and posts telling him to search, and that was literally never said. I was even accused of making copy and paste insults, which I truly don't understand.

Again, I'm sorry I took the time to not only HELP him fix his issue but also suggest where he might find more useful information. I do wish everyone would drop it and move on.

---------- Post added at 06:21 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:19 PM ----------

True. They haven't pushed a new beta build in a couple weeks. And they are no longer showing up on FOTA.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] bobby_digital234:
This is a Samsung feature . I've had it since adding goodlock and one of the add-on companion apps. It's effing sweet!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] tx_dbs_tx:
I'm pretty sure the beta is closed. I tried it several days ago and for several hours I could never get the beta banner. At this point I think people can just use what's been posted here and by firmware.science. I think the official OTA is closing in fast.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] mitchell0714:

Does dirty flash mean boot straight to recovery and flash update.zip without going back to arja? So phone won't be wiped?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] ad44891:
I must say.. It is kinda fun flashing something new almost daily.. Just got on 1CSA6 this morning ?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Rwhyayn:
Venom, I am thinking about creating a new thread (tutorial) on upgrading from Oreo to Pie (One UI), with specific instructions in the OP. Hoping that will clear a lot of confusion up for the less experienced members of the community. Would you mind if I use your download files for that thread?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] pcriz:
Dirty as in Odin down to arja (auto reboot off)

Hold the button combination to reboot

Soon as screen goes black switch to recovery combination (vol up instead of down)

Flash update in recovery, no wipe
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Rwhyayn:
Vicious. Lol
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] pcriz:
I think at this point it might not be worth the effort in about 20 days because everyone will be on the official one. But I stand behind the effort.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] tx_dbs_tx:
I'm not speaking for Venom but i'm pretty sure he'd be OK with you quoting his posts from this thread as long as you quote his original posts so people can immediately see where the links originated from and by who. So you'd simply visit this thread, find his posts that contain the info/links you want and click on reply. In the new reply window copy his original posts and paste it into your OP. Make sure you include everything including the QUOTES in brackets. If you already know how to do this please disregard. Just trying to help. Thanks for stepping up to help people.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] NotATreoFan:
I won't post in that thread, and will leave you to word it appropriately, but since people also ask about flashing new leaks over old ones, you may want to add another post about how they can dirty flash newer leaks by first downgrading back to ARJA, and then immediately flashing the new leak prior to letting the phone boot.

Important note: Dirty flashing like this will not work on ATT, as their variant is hard coded to automatically factory reset after Odin runs.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] MJMatt91:
Be honest here. I am on CSA3 and CSA4 came right after and I heard that just the boot logo changed, so I didn't bother. I am on CSA3 stable and running great. Fake 5Ge and all lol. Galaxy Watch works great too. Do I really need to ODIN to ARJA and then got to CSA7. I can't wait for the stable release of PIE. :confused:
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Rwhyayn:
Haven't noticed a difference between csa3 and csa6. Both great. Have run them both for multiple days, they are nearly identical. Haven't jumped to csa7 yet
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] MJMatt91:
Thanks for that! Great I will remain where I am, till I here of some major changes. I just can't imagine how much more they are going to change. I am sitting here thinking, just release it already. Before we know it Android X or Android 10.0 will be here. #samsunglife #struggles
