How can I apply update without wipe my data? I tried 3 times and it always wipe all my data even on SD card or adb sideload? :(
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Mr. Orange 645:
No problem. Here is where I posted just last night that ONLY Z builds will have direct updates. I'm sorry I could specify each and every C build. That's why I said ONLY Z builds have direct updates.

Hopefully this will help the next person coming in asking about updating.

Group I believe I read somewhere in this thread that on U1 builds we may lose advanced features like Chat/RCS in Android Messages. I believe this app will help with this as I am on current beta release with Samsung official beta program and mine is working as long as I am messaging with someone with capable apps / services.

I maybe wrong but wanted to put this out there.

So what build are you on with Sprint? Because I'm still on the ARH6...not sure why I haven't gotten any updates yet. I know that the Pie is a beta build, but what were you on before?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] jaime3344:
It is set at cdma, if I change it to lte or automatic, it goes back to cdma.. when i go to access points it just keeps loading, can't check it. I see on the Samsung firmware site I can download Sprint ARI6 firmware, tempted to try revert to that and then try this build again.. the link for ARI5 said

Universal, buy I thimk it came from ATT. Maybe that is causing an issue. I don't know, worst case I go back to the J1 preview. Thanks for your help!

I tried that when I was on Oreo using sprint on a U1 device. No dice, had to resort to using android messages for RCS.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Duper00:
Sprint

---------- Post added at 10:45 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:44 PM ----------

That's the app it supports...read the apps documentation.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] CrazyApe18:
I think that problem only applies to the U firmware running ATT. U1 should be able to do whatever it wants with update zips. Of course, always make good backups before you do anything.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Limeybastard:
At the time I thought that app might have enabled rcs with the stock Samsung messaging app on the u1 model using Sprint. I installed it , ( I didn't read it ) it didn't work and I deleted it.

I didn't need to install that app to get rcs working via android messages either.

Anyone successfully downgrade from ZRKP back to Oreo on TMO Note9? Cant seem to Odin, or push via adb. The only this I've come upon is through Samsung switch app. I'm downloading the last oreo, then giving it a whirl. Any advice in the meantime?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Mr. Orange 645:
Yes I was actually going to suggest that very thing. It doesn't even have to be an active SIM card. Just so the firmware reprovisions for T-Mo.

I've reaf in a couple other threads people on the U1 ZRKP got wiped when sideloading the ZRL7 zip. So it has to do with the provisioning of the SIM as well. Safe bet is to insert another carrier SIM in and let the firmware reprovision itself first.

Well, you can't push an entire firmware via ADB. You will have to download the current T-Mo firmware from Updato, Sammobile, or with the SamFirm app then flash it with ODIN.

There's a couple threads already from people having difficulty downgrading. I've helped out in those threads so seerch them out and study up. You should find your solutions there.

I went to local bestbuy and compared my U1 ZRL7 with one running oreo ARH2. The audio signature is indeed quite different. Can anyone else confirm if they feel its different too? If it is not then I may have to reflash ARJ9 and do the updates again.

No I didn't think they were in the pic, I was just guessing by where you're arrow were. I figured they were pointing at what you were talking about.

The easy work around is to tap the wifi menu from the main drop down. It works properly there and only breaks when you actually tap details or if you go to wifi settings from the settings.

Do you have the Samsung app called "one hand operation" installed. It allows you to have gestures on the sides and will show as two white lines on the each side. They are both on by default I believe. I actually use it and like it on the left side.

I see 2 Z builds for U1 devices are they Pie builds?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] DubSolo:
From what I've read, if you flash the U1 firmware then register with Samsung + software, you'll automatically receive the OTA's unlike us on the "U" devices.

I don't think they are accepting anyone else into the beta though.

Anyone have intermittent WiFi issues? As if it would stay connected for a bit then network becomes unstable so it disconnects? Def not any issues with my router because no other device in my house disconnects.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Mr. Orange 645:
You can, but why not just stick with U1 firmware and download the official beta updates? You won't officially be apart of three beta program, but you can sideload the updates from firmware.science and not have to mess with ODIN.

YES. Z builds are the official beta builds. I'll post an explanation:

You can tell what version of Android it is just by the build number.*You can also tell if each update just contains the updated security patch, or if new features were added or updated.

The first character (S or U) tells you if it's a security patch or a feature update. S = Security Patch and U = Feature Update (features added or changed)

The second character (a number) tells you bootloader version. This is important to know when upgrading and downgrading OS versions. You can NOT downgrade the bootloader. 1 = Bootloader V1, 2 = Bootloader v2, etc...

The third character tells you the Android version. This is different for each Galaxy device. A is the Android version that device 2as released with. (For the Note 9 A=Oreo; C=Pie) B will likely be newer versions of Oreo, possibly with an updated bootloader.*Z is for official Samsung BETA program builds.

The fourth character is the year of the build (R=2018, S=2019). This is the same across all Galaxy devices.

The fifth character is the month of the build. This does not indicate what security patch it contains, only what month it was built. (A=January, B=February). Again, same across all Galaxy Devices.

The sixth character is just the sequence of builds that month (1-9, then A-Z)

SO

S - Security Patch

1 - Bootloader V1

A - Oreo

R - 2018

J - October build

9 - 9th build in October

and

U - Feature update

1 - Bootloader V1

C - Pie

R - 2018

L - December build

2 - 2nd build in December

and

U - Feature update

1 - Bootloader v1

Z - Official Samsung BETA program build

R - 2018

K - November build

P - 25th build in November

Make sense?

[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Mr. Orange 645:
As far as I know the U1 is still on ARJ9, which is also the base for the beta. Just download that from SamFirm. Even if the U1 is on a newer version, you can still just flash ARJ9 then accept any OTAs.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] TechOut:
ARJ9 is the latest OTA do you have a link the Odin files? The only link i have is the ARJ5 to ARJ9 update so it won't work in odin.
