Is it possible to flash to Indian or German firmware on an 960F firmware and enroll in beta from Canada or other countries?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Mr. Orange 645:
As stated, this thread is for the N960U Snapdragon variant. You'd be better served asking in the N960F thread.

From what I understand, you need German firmware with a German SIM CARD card. I may be wrong, but again, we all have Snapdragon models, sp I'm not 100% sure.

Anyone else?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] TheAnchor02:
Yes samsung+ will crash on pie beta members app is basicly the feedback hub for the pie beta

Is the beta still open? I see the notification,but I can't register
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] vhgomez36:
Yes, mine is downloading as I type. Make sure your on the Samsung+ Beta. A wonderful forum member posted the link of where to get it. It's just a couple of post above yours.

i am facing the same problem
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] CrazyApe18:
Absolutely. Newer than ZRKP, as well. The third character is month. K was November. L is December.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] hkjxda:
Yes, but if you flash the U1 Oreo build and join the official Pie beta update program, you'll get all the Pie beta updates as OTAs. No more downgrading with Odin and then flashing up. You can just OTA all the way until official release in January.

Only applies if you want to run the unlocked firmware version though. Which is what I prefer personally. I'm on Verizon.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] CrazyApe18:
You don't even need to be in the beta program. Firmware science is capturing all the OTA deliveries from the beta program and making them available as zip files you can load at your leisure. So people shouldn't panic if beta closes. You can still get bi-weekly updates with no hassle.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] jahanzaiblohani:
i got the notification but when i hit the register button nothing happened it takes me back to home screen of Samsung+ app where i can see that notification again and again . i called the samsung support they told me you are already register . i checked the software update many time there is no new update . i called the video support they used samsung tutor app to check it out by his self but after that he said you are already there thats why it takes you back to samsung+ home . but im still confused
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] hkjxda:
True dat...

Follow the post above. Don't need to be enrolled in the beta to get the beta. Firmware science is a caring friend.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] DubSolo:
Any pro's with CRL1?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] CrazyApe18:
Well, it seems very similar to ZRKP, but theme store isn't crippled because it's not a true beta. I also needed some features on U firmware that don't exist for my carrier on U1. Other than theme store being disabled (mostly) in the beta, they're pretty similar.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] blkghost22:
Is the att features in the u1? Like advanced messaging
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] CrazyApe18:
Doubtful. Even RTT wasn't on U1 for my carrier despite it being in Pie for U firmware.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] blkghost22:
Sorry but being super lazy today... but do u or anyone have the link to odin to u1 so i can flash the beta update from firmware.science
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] NexVision:
You would have to flash the ATT_CSC

[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] pcriz:
Odin flash and a wipe.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] lyall29:
You won't have keep flashing back to Oreo builds with Odin anymore. You should get OTA's with the U1 beta.

Just out of curiosity. If you have a Verizon variant (SM-N960U) That is currently on ARJ9, are you able to upgrade to the ZRKP that is for the SM-N960U1 using the ota leak on Firmware Science (ARJ9-ZRKP)?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] CrazyApe18:
No. The models are not the same. The update zip will refuse to apply.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Duper00:
I don't see a ARJ9 to ZRKP ota on the site.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] pcriz:
Did you pick sm-n960u1 as your device?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Chuckd610:
Is dirty flashing an update.zip done through Odin and is root required?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] CrazyApe18:
There's a lot to unpack here. Odin doesn't have anything to do with update zips. Odin loads full firmware images. Update zips are just patch files. Root is not required in order to use either one.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Mr. Orange 645:
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

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 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

U - Feature update

1 - Bootloader V1

C - Pie

R - 2018

J - October build

9 - 9th build in October

and

S - Security Patch

1 - Bootloader V1

A - Oreo

R - 2018

K - November build

A - 10th build in November

Make sense?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] pcriz:
Umm wat

Dirty flashing just means you flashed something without a factory reset. That could be in Odin or in stock recovery as an update zip.

Full firmware can only be flashed in Odin.

An update zip is either flashing in your devices stock recovery off the sdcard or side loaded through stock recovery.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Duper00:
Yes and all I see is ZRKJ to ZRKP. I don't have an unlocked phone. But I believe the person I responded to wants to OTA from ARJ9 to ZRKP...just not seeing that as an option without Odin back to something else
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Chuckd610:
Thanks...I tried the button method to force reboot before it wipes after applying an update via stock recovery, but it doesn't seem to work on the Note 9 like with my S8+. I'd like to update to CRL1, but cringing over re-doing my current setup.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Mr. Orange 645:
Go to firmware.science.

Under "Your Model" pick N960U1 (Unknown)

The next dropdown is for your current firmware build that your on right now. You should be on ARJ9, so pick that.

Then the last drop down is for what update files are available for your build (ARJ9). Pick ZRKP.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Mr. Orange 645:
See screenshot
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Duper00:
I got it thank you I was picking the G965U1 by mistake.

But that doesn't help me because I'm not on the U1 I have the US base installed now. So don't think ota would take? Basically I don't have unlocked base installed if I'm reading all this correctly
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] tonsa:

[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] CrazyApe18:
It works on Note 9. I've done it half a dozen times successfully. But you do need to be quick.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Mr. Orange 645:
Correct. You will need to use ODIN to flash the U1 ARJ9 firmware.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] tomashaker4e:
Anyone has Update.zip for ARK2 to Beta OneUI? the Germany one 1.5gb?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Mr. Orange 645:
So far ZRKP is running great. I just took the update from the beta program and haven't done a FDR. I still had to go in and redo some of my setting that got reset with the update. I usually always wipe when moving up to a new Android version, but honestly setting my work email. Microsoft authenticator, both my Gear S3s, and Samsung Pay didn't seem fun today. If I run into issues. I'll end up doing an FDR.

I like the looks of the One UI, mostly. And it runs really smooth. I didn't think this beast of a phone could get much smoother, but this is nice. And I love Night mode.

My biggest gripes so far are:

1. The inability to hide the navigation bar. I realize I could use the built in gestures, but there's no way to hold down the home button to activate Google Assistant, which I use all the time.

2. I can't seem to find the setting to hide the status bar in the Samsung browser. I loved with Oreo being able to hide the status bar and the nav bar and use my browser full screen. It was under advanced options in settings, and that's gone.

3. Again, in the browser, lost the ability to view a page without content blockers. Handy on sites where the content blockers broke pictures or login buttons. Now you have to go in and turn off content blockers altogether, then turn them back on when your done. It's just a bunch of extra steps.

4. Extensions are gone in the browser as well. No way to scan a QR code from the browser menu. No Amazon Assistant, which saved me money a few times.

I haven't dug much deeper than that. And maybe these are thinga that will change. But these are things that made me choose the Samsung browser over Chrome.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] bassman418:
That's what I thought. I was contemplating on trying the U1 firmware, but didnt know what I might lose (other than some additional bloat)

I'd like to go to the CRL1 (currently on CRKM) But being there is no direct upgrade path to CRL1 from ARI5 or ARJ7 I'd have jump to ARJA then CRL1. Which means a wipe of data. Unless I downgrade to ARJ7, the adb to ARJA and the adb to CRL1 without the phone booting up. I just dont know if its possible to use adb consecutively without a reboot.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Mr. Orange 645:
AGAIN, this is the Snapdragon thread. Check one of the Exynos threads. No one here will have any OTAs for the Exynos models since we don't have one.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Duper00:
You wouldn't by chance have a link to that in your bag of tricks!? Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] CrazyApe18:
Ah there's a trick. Odin to ARJA and go immediately to recovery to flash CRL1. Do not allow a reboot. Unless you're on ATT the wipe will be suppressed.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Mr. Orange 645:
You can get it from Sammobile, which will take about 5 hours to download, LOL. Or you can download Samfirm program to download it directly from the Samsung servers. MUCH faster. Takes about 30 minutes or less.

Or you can look through the threads here on the Note 9 forums. There's at least one thread dedicated to the U1 firmware, and it will contain links to the firmware.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] effortless:
You can downgrade CRKM to ARJ7 using Odin, then flash the ARJA update zip in recovery and then flash the PIE update zip from recovery to CRL1, but I do not recommend it. Dirty PIE to PIE flashes (CRKM to CRL1) have resulted in tons of micro stutters for everyone who has done it. I used it that way for half the day yesterday, but I had to format this morning. CRL1 is very smooth after a factory reset. I did end up going to the official beta though (although ZRKP is an older release, two bugs on CRL1 were really annoying).
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Duper00:
Do I need to unlock my phone before flashing the U1 base or can I just do it locked?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] CrazyApe18:
I've now run both. Which CRL1 bugs looked like they were resolved in ZRKP? I'd like to reconfirm them.

---------- Post added at 10:37 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:36 PM ----------

You can flash U1 regardless of SIM locked status. Totally different things.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] effortless:
Linux on DEX can't be run full screen on CRL1 (DEX in general on CRL1 ran more sluggish as well) and the keyboard not popping up right away once you click on the search bar from the app drawer.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] CrazyApe18:
Have never run DeX. However I should have tried that other one when I was on ZRKP. Might go back at some point.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] innocentone1:
You dont have to do anything special for the u1 firmware right? I Can just flash it then upgrade to the beta right? Also skip the CSC or flash the CSC file too?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] CrazyApe18:
For anyone wanting to go back to U carrier firmware, this will prove helpful both for ATT customers and anyone wanting to flash new U Pie leaks.

You always flash a CSC. No nothing special. Just flash with Odin. Then either apply the update zip or try booting in and coming in the program the proper way if you want automatic updates every two weeks or sooner.

how do i get to UI Beta(ZRKP)...i am currently on Att N960U(ARJA)....Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Mr. Orange 645:
I will answer your question, but next time do some searching and look for your answers. That exact question has been answered multiple times, including on this page of the thread.

You will need to use ODIN to flash the U1 firmware (ARJ9), then set up the phone and go to the Samsung+ app and sign up for the beta program, or you can just download the OTA file for ZRKP from firmware.science.

Any other questions you may have will be found in this thread or others on the forum. The search bar is your best friend.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Mr. Orange 645:
Weird, that setting isn't present on mine.

The first post says itsfl for the Snapdragon models. The article it links to is about the Snapdragon models. It's been stated several times it's for the Snapdragon models. All the links to any firmwares have been for the Snapdragon models. What you did was post without actually doing any reading of your own.

So again, not being rude, I'm TRYING to tell you where to get the answers you seek, because it's not in this thread. This the US Snapdragon thread.

---------- Post added at 10:23 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:20 PM ----------

You won't be able to keep the carrier features. Don't mix and match firmware files. It's not a good idea, especially when flashing a beta build over top of that.

Which carrier are you with?

This is the title of this thread: Note 9 Pie Alpha/Beta (updates on the XDA Portal)

If this thread is only for the SD Note9: change the title of this thread!

[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Mr. Orange 645:

Where do I see "Snapdragon?" The very first line of the OP. The article it's linked to. Come on, you're just being a troll. You can read through the thread and realize everyone here has the Snapdragon version and that's what this thread is about.

I'm not trying to be a ****, I'm telling people this ain't the thread to get answers for the Exynos version. There's already threads, like YOURS, that is specific to the Exynos and they would have a better chance of finding their answers and links.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] henklbr:
1. I don't like to be called a TROLL (say that to your own friends or something!)

2. I stated in my thread, that it is indeed for the "International SM-N960F"-device (in the title of the thread)

That should be sone in this thread also; instead of calling persons a "TROLL", you could also send a message/DM to the OP of this thread with a request if he can change the title of this thread...

Idea?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Mr. Orange 645:
I'm done. I was just calling it like it is. Don't like to be called one, don't act like one.
