any known issues with swift installer overlays being already installed and we updating with pie beta?

or shd they be uninstalled before we get the beta? does the pie beta black theme cover everything?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] dottat:
Uninstall all. System apps that theme in Oreo won't work on pie. I made this mistake one time and one time only.

So I got N960U1UESARJ9 installed on my T-mobile carrier locked note with Samsung + Beta 11.2.3.0. I can see the link for One UI beta, but when I click register I am just kicked back to the home screen. Just for kicks, I decided to to text chat Samsung Support. After I explained exactly what I was trying to do, they eluded that it was not working due to me being carrier locked. I guess im gonna flash back to the U firmware for now since I noticed Video calling is gone from the dialer app for me (unless someone knows of a fix for that? Im thinking extract the Samsung dialer APK from a T-mobile U firmware...).

Would it be best to Download CRL1 or go to U1 and get the ZRKF update ? or Just wait until AT&T releases their latest beta ?

Is it better to do a full wipe when going to CRL1 from ARJA or just flash in recovery with no wipes. I'm on the ATT firmware. What are the benefits of full wipe compared to just flashing without?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] CrazyApe18:
You don't need to wipe going upwards in revisions to Pie (and I don't recommend it in this case). To return to Oreo, you will definitely need to factory reset.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] sambolee:
I'm on CRL1 but would prefer not having to keep going back and updating every time a new beta comes out. If I go the official beta route does anyone know if it will work with a Canadian phone/carrier? Im not sure if the Samsung+ app will know if I'm in Canada or using Canadian sim and not let me participate?

Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] bbayer:
Thank you. I've been on a few of the pie builds but always had to Odin to ARJ7 then booted into recovery to flash pie builds so I always had a clean flash.

Alright so i don't make more than one post.. Since i am already on the official ARJA, All i have to do is flash to CRL2 ? not wipe ?. Also until the official pie drops, i won't get the OTA until the real one comes right ? So i would need to keep grabbing from here or firmware science ?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] CrazyApe18:
All those statements are correct. To clarify, however, you won't be directly flashing anything from firmware science once you're on CRL2. You'll have to keep using Odin to go back to ARJA and flash from there. Each time will require a factory reset.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Raz12:

[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] sunmybun:
Well is your phone's firmware originally n960u verizon locked Or n960u1?

If its verizon locked, then you are sim locked to verizon only.

Because you flashed n960u1, it doesnt mean you can use any other service provider.

On the other hand, if you are originally unlocked then you have to reprovision the phone for another service provider.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] vhgomez36:
Yes my phone is unlocked. Messages is the only thing not working properly, everything else works fine.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] iggie94:
I'm on build CRL1. Everything works fine for the most part except for Google Pay. Google Pay detects that I'm rooted even though I'm not. I'm also not Google Protect certified. Any ideas on that?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] sunmybun:
Then reprovision the phone. I dont have a verizon phone but try the dialer code ##72786# (##scrtn#) or *#72786#.

If you need to switch sims often,

You probably need the correct apns enabled for att.

Or you would have to enable lte/gsm/hspa in mobile networks

There are many ways but it depends on your situation
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Duper00:
Question: I am on Sprint locked phone. I installed a U1 ARJA base and use the Samsung + path to update to ZRKP (worked great). However, The U1 base I started with wasn't a Sprint base that I am aware of. So I don't have the VoLTE / WiFi Calling feature, which i really want. It looks like that should be available to Sprint user based upon notes in Samsung Members app... its just the Handover portion is not functioning at this time. So I have downloaded a U1 ARJA Sprint base now. Does anyone know if I downgraded back to that version/base and then ran the Samsung + app, do you think I would get back on the normal beta path again? I would not unregister before I downgraded, but just wipe and start all over again.

I am hoping this would provide the WiFi Calling/VoLTE feature?!??!

There is no ARJA for U1. So I'm not sure what you're doing.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] sunmybun:
There is no such n960u1 firmware of arja. Latest was arj9 and before that arj5

The arja is n960u firmware, possibly att base.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] clshores:
Nothing can be done. Apparently Google sees this as unofficial software and therefore the device is uncertified. I gave up and just setup Samsung Pay for now and maybe forever.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Duper00:
Sorry there are too many letters/numbers to keep straight in my head.

Here is what I downloaded from Updato: N960U1UES1ARJ9

Which is supposed to be a Sprint base. Do you think this would work or would I lose access to the beta path using the normal Samsung method?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] clshores:
Anything earthshatteringly changed between CRL1 and CRL2? If not I will ride this one out to avoid the lost time of setting everything up again for now.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] CrazyApe18:
There's no such thing as a Spring base, or anything carrier specific on U1 firmware. I'm not sure what you mean by "normal Samsung method" either. You can use the ARJ9 U1 firmware to enroll in the beta and receive your OTA update.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] sunmybun:
The n960u1ues1arj9 is not carrier specific. All carriers of this firmware use the same one.

Im sure you can downgrade back to that oreo from pie beta. And try to the beta access again. I, personally, didnt do that so i dont know if you can get back the beta access. But im pretty sure you can. It seems though that other people are still getting the beta update.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] MrDSL:

[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Duper00:
Ok so on Updato I put in SM-N960U1 and it shows different options and one of those options is a Sprint version of the ARJ9 U1.

MORE INFO

Country / RegionUSA (Sprint)

PDAN960U1UES1ARJ9

Product CodeVMU

CSCN960U1OYM1ARJ9

PhoneN960U1UES1ARJ9

So I downloaded the above. I don't know if this truly makes a difference but I assume it does because they have several different versions for providers.

"Normal Samsung Path" is flashing U1 base and OTA to ZRKP after registering through Samsung +.

So all that to say if I now go and ODIN back the ARJ9 I downloaded that has a Sprint name attached to it does anyone believe the following will happen:

1. Will I still have access to beta via Samsung + app / OTA

2. Will I get the WiFi Calling/VoLTE back?

Thanks for trying to help me!

At least I'm not the only one. I mainly just use Samsung Pay anyways.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] sunmybun:
I do not know where you are getting firmware downloads from but it doesnt matter the carrier version.

To answer your questions:

1. I dont know, and youre gonna have to see. But most likely, you can.

2. Wifi calling works on n960u1 oreo firmware. Volte doesnt entirely work (not fully implemented) but enhanced lte services calling work.

Which is basically volte without qos. You are going have to search threads on your own on how to do that.

For pie beta, wifi calling works but not volte/ lte calling.

Download the ari9 Odin files, Odin to ari9 (u1 firmware) and then try the Samsung + beta registration. If you down get the OTA, you have the option to download ZRKP from firmware science
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Duper00:
Thank you for this. I have these files already. I also know i can use FS to get to the ZRKP, but was trying to avoid any future ODIN and restores to stay current.

You cannot downgrade via ota zip. You can only and need to odin back down to arj9 oreo. Theres no way to keep all your data when downgrading.

The samsung+ beta may still have beta access in arj9. If it doesnt. Just use firmware science

[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Mr. Orange 645:
You can flash the ATT Userdata. It won't hurt anything, nor will it add any ATT bloat or apps. As long as you have a T-Mo SIM in the phone, it will leave everything as T-Mobile. The software detects what SIM you have and install the bloatware and features for that carrier.

I actually don't want any carrier bloat. I lose some TMO features, like video calling and RCS, but I don't use them anyway.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Mr. Orange 645:
If that's the case then you need the U1 firmware. It's the only bloat free firmware. If you go the path to CRL1 or CRL2, you will have a carrier branded firmware which comes with bloat.

Download and flash ARJ9 for the N960U1, then you can get on the official beta, which also means you can update through OTAs without wiping and without using ODIN to downgrade and upgrade each time a new version comes out.
