[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Mr. Orange 645:
It also means you're using an Exynos device (N960F) and you'll find better instructions in one of the Exynos beta threads. We are all Snapdragon devices in this thread.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] TechOut:
You can go to ARJ9 and then flash ZRKP

Someone said ARJ9 has odin files and is the base for the Beta
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] MeltdownSpectre:
The guy I quoted is using Exynos, not Snapdragon.

There is no ARJ9 or ZRKP for the 960F.

Sent from my SM-N960F
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] TechOut:
Just noticed that. Ya getting the beta on Exynos is a little more involved as far as having to flash back a few updates.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Venom0642:
So he's in the wrong thread then, since this is only for Snapdragon. Just saying.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Chuckd610:
On CRLD, there's a constant "Message Backup & Sync" notification in the status bar that's active. Strangely, when I wiped cache from recovery and rebooted, it came back again. It has now been about 30 min........ FYI, I'm on AT&T and did not dirty flash.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] bassman418:
I'm on Verizon with a dirty flash and don't have that.

I cant find Smart Lock anymore in settings, is it removed in Pie?

It's under lock screen... Second option on mine
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Chuckd610:
I just flashed ARJ9 after reading BobaHeisrnberg's post on page 234. I finally was able to see the beta banner to get registered. I'm just waiting for an OTA to appear. If this does not work out for receiving an OTA, I will head over to CRL9 or maybe give CRLD another shot.

Does anyone know how long it takes to get the OTA after registering?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] cshort0982:
I just did the same thing and got the OTA update. I had to click on the little person icon in the top right to verify that I was actually registered.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Chuckd610:
I was just about to edit my post. The OTA started about 2 min. ago.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] cshort0982:
So mote it be!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] pcriz:
Even if the ota didn't come. You could just side load it and not have to wipe your device.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Chuckd610:
Hmmmmm.......your post sounds interesting.

---------- Post added at 12:52 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:50 AM ----------

It came and I'm all caught up. Glad to be on the OTA train.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] butchieboy:
Sigh...guess I will just take the plunge and do the beta.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] :
I had to use the patched Odin. The standard one would not work like it did on Oreo. Make sure you use the USB cable that came with your phone. If it still fails try another port or computer.

Do you have a link to the latest firmware that you used? Thanks for your help.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] :
Try Updato if you don't have a priemum account with Sammobile. You will want ARH6 (September patch).
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] steelersmb:
Thanks but Updato is painfully slow, going to take 2 days to download. I will look around for it.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] steelersmb:
I need the unlocked version, not the ATT version. Thanks though. I am just going to stick with Pie for now as I can't figure out how to flash back to Oreso without getting errors.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Coreax:
What is the latest T-Mobile ODIN for download?

I think I want to downgrade, this alpha is too unstable for my liking. If the constant freezing and the force close of apps wasn't a thing, I think it would be fairly solid. I'll try it again in a few more builds.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Venom0642:
Just heads up more than 10 people has lost imei on theses Pie build, it start off great then few times when you try to Odin back to Oreo you lose network and imei basically a paperweight, just letting yall know.

Damn..I was literally just about to try this today on my Verizon Note 9. Could I run into this same issue? What exactly causes it to happen?

and there's absolutely no way to fix it?

I had to download the arh2 sprint build from samsung. Diections and the Odin download are there too. I don't have access to it until Monday otherwise I would post it now. After you set it up you can update to arh6
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Coreax:
It doesn't seem to happen to everyone but the only way to fix it I'm coming across is by rooting your device.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] rejectedjs:
How does it happen in the first place?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Venom0642:
Snapdragon USA Carriers and unlocked doesn't have root mate so basically bricked , a paperweight phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] rejectedjs:
So...basically I should not attempt this on my Verizon note 9, because from what it sounds like its basically random if it decides to brick or not?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Coreax:
I'm about to take the plunge back to Oreo bearing this in mind. IF it happens to me, I'll see what I can do to fix it and post a guide. If it doesn't happen to me, then I'll just consider myself lucky.

Anyone know how to get visual voicemail working for Verizon branded U1?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Mr. Orange 645:
If you read through the thread, or read any of the "How I got the Pie beta on my Note 9" threads that have detailed instructions on how to do it.

Check the GCam for Snapdragon thread in the apps and themes section. I'm using GCam on Pie right now.

The only features you lose with the U1 firmware on T-Mobile is RCS texting and video calling from the stock app. WiFi Calling and VoLTE will still work, and you can download the visual voicemail app from the Play store.

Someone said if you download Google Carrier Services from the Play Store and Android Messages, you'll get RCS texting back.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Mr. Orange 645:
Have you found the VVM app from the Play Store?

---------- Post added at 07:57 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:55 AM ----------

Yes,but uninstalled it because it's messing with night mode.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Mr. Orange 645:
Well Android Messages is how you use RCS on the U1 firmware.

You'll either have to live without it or go back to the T-Mobile branded firmware.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Emd1187:

[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] dawynkoop:
I've not tried this, but what I've read is that you flash the BL, AP, and CP firmware files from the U1 rom and flash the CSC firmware file from the T-Mobile rom. That will give you the U1 Firmware, with T-Mobile features.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Emd1187:
Anyone here that can confirm this? I'm curious and ready to Odin again,if it works.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Mr. Orange 645:
If you're flashing the U firmware to use the C build, then no it will not install any ATT firmware. Everything will stay Xfinity and you shouldn't lose any carrier features.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Mr. Orange 645:
It works ATT but I don't know about T-Mo. You'll also be mixing firmwares which could cause issues and possibly break OTAs.

If you do this, please do not report any bugs or errors as it may cause confusion for people who flashed the official full firmware, not a mix-match.

There's no RCS messages with Android messages .... I tried several times even on Oreo on my note 9 ....
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Mr. Orange 645:
Okay. I use Google Voice, so I don't have RCS messaging anyway. Others had reported it working on Android Messages, but maybe they wree wrong. Who knows.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Duper00:
It works for me guys...Sprint U1 with Carrier Services installed and using Android Messages. I get read receipt, typing indications and so one ... only when I chat with someone else using Andriod Messages. And they are on my network as well, so it could be very specific. Who knows just telling you what I see.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Limeybastard:
I never had to install Google carrier services to get RCS working with Android Messages on my U1 on Sprint. Same situation when I was on Oreo.

I am already a beta tester for the Samsung + app. My question is after clicking on the "register" banner in the One UI T/C section off the home screen of the S+ app nothing seems to happen. Your statement led me to think there was another place to check to see if the registration was successful, not the beta of the app itself but the beta One UI.

If that makes sense?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Chuckd610:
I wonder if I can do the same with AT&T? My concern is if flashing only CSC will still wipe.

Yep
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Chuckd610:
I'm on AT&T and did the same. Finally got in the beta program for OTAs. Installing new updates and setting everything back up was becoming too much. I can live without a few carrier features.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Limeybastard:
I wonder if anyone else got on the beta plan at the time you tried?I successfully enrolled my wife's note 9 four days ago.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Mr. Orange 645:
Yes it is. A = Oreo, C = Pie, Z = Beta

It's on firmware.science as always. Or just sign up for the beta and get it OTA.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Birdsfan:
I have tried to register more than 50 times over the last week plus and nothing has changed. After clicking the "register"button nothing happens I just go back to the home screen in the S+ app.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] NotATreoFan:
Same for me, which is why I gave up and flashed the C builds.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] pcriz:
You realize you cats can just flash the otas. They are on firmware science. That means when you update you don't have to Odin anything or even wipe your device.

Not to mention if you are trying to get on the beta you are already on the right base (arj9), so you might as well flash it.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Venom0642:
Been on it
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Chuckd610:
The same was happening to me, but I was able to get in. Follow the method on page 234 posted by BobaHeisenberg.

---------- Post added at 08:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:24 PM ----------

Are you sure? Flashing the latest leak from firmware science will require going back to ARJ9 for each future update. Otherwise there would be no need to go the official beta route. Only official beta is delivered OTA. Someone correct me if I'm mistaken.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] pcriz:
Nope it won't. I flashed the ota from firmware science. When ota 2 came out my device prompted me to install it. The base for (beta) ota 2 is (beta) ota 1. Odining back to arj9 means you couldn't flash (beta) ota 2

Also to clarify the beta otas are on firmware science. As well as leaks. I'm talking about manually flashing the beta builds.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] DubSolo:
Would this work if we were on ARJA and flashing the updates via FS? for example, I just flashed CRLD, would I just be able to update to the newest update from there or because I'm not on the U1 software, it requires me to flash ARAJ then the update?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] TechOut:
If your flashing the Z builds you shouldn't have to odin back between updates since those are the ones being released OTA and there is no gap between them.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] pcriz:
Nope, those are test builds. Except for a few instances they are dead end builds made to flash off of a unified base.

---------- Post added at 08:46 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:44 PM ----------

I didnt say you did.

That's my point. The people that flashed arj9, not getting in the beta and then flashing to C builds are wasting their time. Just manually flash the Z build and save yourself some time by not having to Odin anything or wipe.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] DubSolo:
I really hate flashing back to ARJA just to update the leaks. Even though I got it to where I'm consuming less time, it's just a pain to having restore all apps and customization's that I set up in between builds. Def not flashing the U1 firmware to jump on the officials beta testing, I enjoy hd calling, vvm and advanced messaging too much lol.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] pcriz:
You could flash arj9 and then manually flash the Z builds. The only wipe would be after your Odin to arj9
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] DubSolo:
True but I'll just stick with wiping and restoring. I just flashed CRLD and now there's another leak available which is very small in size but CRLD has been very solid so far.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] themisterwilson:
Okay, I've tried to find relevant posts within these 245 pages.. but I guess my question is if I can flash the N960U1UEU1ZRKP update.zip from recovery if I am on N960USQS1ARJ9 ? Carrier is VZW. I looked on firmware science for updates for SM-N960U, but the ARJ9 was only listed for SM-N960U1. Not the exact same software version however. U1 is N960U1UES1ARJ9 and U is N960USQS1ARJ9. I'm guessing it just won't flash the update if the info doesn't match, but I just wanted to ask in case anybody already knows the answer. Or can point me to it if it's in this thread somewhere.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] pcriz:
You need to be on the on a U1 firmware. So n960u1

Edit: I was rushing but to elaborate you need to Odin the u1 arj9 to be able to flash Z builds.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] themisterwilson:
Alright, cool. Thanks for the reply!

So is there not an update to Pie from N960USQS1ARJ9? For the 960U firmware?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Chuckd610:
Then what the heck was I sweating the beta program for?....lol. Had I known I could flash Z from firmware science and still get OTAs, I never would have gone through Samsung+ beta. Life is one fat lesson....lol
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] pcriz:
Nope. I don't think there is a leak (C builds) because thats Verizon firmware (leaks are att) and definitely not for the beta (Z builds)
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] playingbball20:
It works. I find it in xda
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] pcriz:
I mean if you are in it you can provide feedback but once you are on the Z builds you are G2G so you don't need to sign up to use them.

I'd say there is a chance you might not get the OTAs directly (as in system prompts you for a update) but I don't want to assume that's the case because I really don't know.

But even if it was you can still recovery side load the update and not have to wipe or Odin a thing
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] themisterwilson:
Okay, got it. If I really can't wait, I may try the method above. Or I could just be patient and wait for the official. Thanks again!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] hkjxda:
The new leaked build you are referring to is not Pie. It's an Oreo update. Latest Pie is still CRLD.
