For Leaked Pie (U):

1. Odin to ARJA

2. Go to Samsung.Firmware.Science

3. Under "Current Model", select SM-N960U (Note 9)

4. Under "Available Updates", select and download N960USQU1CRL4. It is the ARJA to CRL4 update.zip

5. Apply update.zip in recovery.

For Official Pie Beta (U1):

1. Odin to ARJ9

2. After reboot and setup process, open Samsung+ and sign up for Pie Beta Testing (if it's still open).

3. Start receiving OTA Pie updates when pushed.

If Official Beta is Closed (we're still on U1):

1. Go to Samsung.Firmware.Science

2. Under "Current Model", select SM-N960U1 (unknown)

3. Under "Available Updates", select and download N960U1UEU1ZRKP. It is the ARJ9 to ZRKP update.zip.

4. Apply update.zip via recovery

5. If you choose this route, you will have to flash any future updates via revovery.

I was on U1 ZRKP and Samsung themes and wallpapers did not work but I odined back to ARJA and updated to CRL4 and Samsung themes and wallpapers work.plus if you search HQTEST you will find like 4 basic themes that will work on pie builds.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Chuckd610:
Thanks for the HQTEST info. I'm on ZRPK now, but since I missed the beta openings, there really no point in staying on ZRKP. I'd like to get some ATT carrier features back.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] JAMRZ69:
Yeah ZRKP was fine but I like my themes and CRL4 is running really smoothly and I can have a decent theme and change my icons.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Mr. Orange 645:
No reason other than being able to update without using ODIN and wiping. But if you need ATT features, then yeah, you'll have to go back to a leaked C build.

For me personally the C builds have been great, I actually enjoy setting up my device..lol I know call me crazy.

SM-N960U-NOTE 9

ARK6 now showing on fota.

ARK is Oreo. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] mrnovanova:
I can't find a way to Odin to ARJA I have ARI5 and then an SD card Zip to ARJA so do I Odin to ARI5 the update zip to ARJA then update zip to CRL4? Would that work?
[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 (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?

Has anyone tried DEX on CRKE? I've got a Kensington dock here that we are testing and I thought I would try it with my phone, but nothing happens. My phone just starts to charge.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] arcanexvi:
I just tried to screen shot it but it disappeared literally as I tried to capture it. Has anyone else seen the LTE icon on ZRKP show as LTE+?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Mr. Orange 645:
It doesn't matter HOW you get to ARJA, as long as you are on ARJA. If you're on ARI5 and there's an update zip to ARJA, then that will work just fine.

I've tried it on ZRKP and DEX works great. Using a Choetech USB to HDMI cord. And u have an official Dex Pad being shipped to me as well.

---------- Post added at 09:06 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:42 AM ----------

Yes. It does that on Nougat and Oreo U1 firmware as well. It's for LTE Advanced. I believe it happens when your phone connects to two LTE bands.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] NotATreoFan:
Yep. You will see LTE+ on all U1 firmware.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] dragunbayne:
I need to ODIN ARJ9 to flash ZRKP right?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] CrazyApe18:
Or just download the ARJA Odin files.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Mr. Orange 645:
Of course. That's been covered many times in this thread.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] dawynkoop:
Currently I have the N960U on AT&T, aside from wireless calling does anyone know of anything else that is missing between N960U and N960U1 firmwares? I don't care much about the wireless calling but I ran the 960U1 firmware briefly a while ago and seem to remember the advanced texting features missing. Does anyone know if I missed something or are those in fact not available?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Mr. Orange 645:
If you're on ATT and you install the U1 firmware uou will lose WiFi calling, VoLTE (or advanced calling, whatever ATT calls it), and RCS texting.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] mrnovanova:
Ok. Done. I'm on CR4L now. Night mode still keeps turning off after a few seconds. Is there a fix for that or a theme that works?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] dawynkoop:
Thanks. The RCS texting is the one I was worried about. I use that a lot and would definitely miss it once it was gone.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] NotATreoFan:
Where did you enable Night Mode from? I turned it on from Display, instead of Developer Options, and it has remained on the entire time for me.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Grand Prix:
Can anyone confirm if you will get ota updates with the beta build?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] MJMatt91:
Can someone please link me to this "fota" website? Cause I read about it all the time in here and I can't find it on the web.... I have been getting my builds from Firmware.science.

Thanks!!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] mrnovanova:
Tried both. They both revert to the normal mode after a while.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] keredini:
I have it the other way ... anytime i turn OFF night mode, it eventually reverts back to ON. Minor annoyance, i prefer the night mode anyway, but the setting is still broken.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] MrDSL:
while it has turned off on me maybe 2 times for the most part it stays on

---------- Post added at 12:01 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:00 PM ----------

what does RCS texting give you?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] dawynkoop:
RCS Texting shows if a message was delivered, read, and someone is replying to the message. As well as allowing larger pictures to be sent. Probably other things too but those are the big ones I use it for.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] bassman418:
I have to say my night mode never shuts it self off. And I've never changed anything in developer options. What I would like to see implemented though is an option to have it toggle on an off on it's own. Via clock: local time zone sunset/sunrise times or manually set the time to toggle.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Vixenko:
What would I lose if I installed the U1 Firmware for Sprint Note 9 for the ZRKP Build?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] clshores:
The only thing I know that I lost by going to the Sprint U1 Oreo and joining the beta is VoLTE. Everything else seems good. I assume that will return at some point inthe Beta. Didn't have it on the Cxxx betas either.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Limeybastard:
Yep night mode is stable here also. It turned mine ON on display settings. However it shows up as enabled with an option to turn it on or off in the developer menu.

Those with issues , perhaps factory reset and install pie afresh.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] divyasharma20:
You don't get any update for CRKM as far as I know.. I suggest you to revert your official firmware and download latest update from data science firmware for your model. That way you get your unlocked version back and no carrier splash screen or apps
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] dragunbayne:
I just discovered it last night in the pull down and it reverted back sometime this morning. I'm testing from the display settings since it got brought up today, still good but it's only been a few hours.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Chuckd610:
As long as you're on official Pie beta and a Samsung+ beta tester.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] MrDSL:
Ahhh okay i have noticed those things gone..ty
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] jason66777:
So from what I've read the ARJA firmware has carrier specific options, like VOLTE, wifi calling, RCS, but lacks OTA updates, which the U1 firmware has?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] pcriz:
The leaks are based off the att arja firmware. Has all the carrier tweaks but you would need to Odin back to a common oreo builds (currently arja) and then flash an update zip in recovery (or side load) to get back on pie and keep the carrier functionality. You would probably need to wipe to avoid degraded functionality.

The u1 build may lose some carrier functionality but it is the official beta and that means you will get ota updates if you signed up on the u1 oreo builds and got the system notification for update.

Otherwise you can manually flash in recovery and likely need to side load each additional update because currently the sdcard wont mount in recovery. But you wont have to wipe. Or rather you shouldn't have to wipe.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] yoda16:
Did a factory reset and night mode still turns itself off after a while.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Limeybastard:

No I have pie zrkp U1 but I have still LTE icon note lte+ . Which carrier you are using ?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] clshores:
I have LTE+ on Sprint in the Nashville area.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Emd1187:
All U1 firmware comes with that icon,no matter which carrier you are
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] pospower:
Ok I followed the instructions and got her to work. Question I"m coming from unlocked firmware. I just put my Verizon sim in and it reconfigured the CSC or what ever it's called so it works on Verizon. When I use this rom it gives me all of the verizon stuff which is good for some but it takes away my unlock for tethering and asks me to call Verizon and sign up for hotspot.

Question If I do all of the steps with out a sim card . then put the verizon sim in, Will I have the same issues with locked down tethering. ?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Limeybastard:
Indeed. Must be folks that were on U firmware in shock currently lolz
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] jahanzaiblohani:
Look Its running in latest beta update. Still have LTE icon . Carrier and network does matter because In USA T-mobile and at&t just launched 5G it means they have 4.5G too maybe you are on 4.5G
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Emd1187:
I flashed N960U1 firmware in my Tmobile N960U to get the beta as well,and my icons changed from 4glte to LTE and LTE+
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] denson9874:
Though the icon may show LTE rather than LTE+, you may be actually getting the data speeds of LTE+. But it may be a matter of confirming your APNs. In most cases, the information automatically configures, but it never hurts to verify.

If you odin to arja you can directly update to crl4 from sd card, tried and confirmed that procedure last night.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] splkia:
Thanks! I did those exact steps and am now on ZRKP on my SM-N960W. Everything works so far and I too have the lte+ I'm on the Telus network. Although I have the beta one ui option show up in my Samsung members app it will not let me register.... Just keeps saying I should register or something along those lines no matter what I click. I've tried going into the Samsung + app but that just opens and closes right away. Night mode has been totally fine here. Someone said something about sideloading future updates as a work around to do with the SD card not working thing...... How exactly would that work.... adb??
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Iain_S:
has anyone seen the note 9 being updated to new beta or is it just the s9's?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] denson9874:
•Power down your Note9

•Hold Bixby, Vol+, and Power until Boot logo appears

•Once Boot screen appears, release Power while continuing to hold Bixby and Vol+

•Use the volume buttons and power to select “apply update from SD card.” If you do not have an SD Card.

•Use the volume buttons again to select the update.zip file and the power button to select it. The update will then start. The update can take between 2 to 10 minutes.

•If you don’t have an SD Card, use the volume buttons to select the “apply update from ADB"

•On your PC, type" adb sideload < file location of the update. zip file> and hit enter.

•Once update is complete, device should reboot.

•Done

Not sure if you were just looking for a Yes or No answer, just gave instructions in case.

[General Questions and Answers] ThaKhronik:
Any carrier-branded phone sold by Verizon or AT&T will not have an unlockable bootloader. If you'd prefer to buy on contract from a service provider and root is one of your must-haves, we recommend purchasing through Sprint or T-Mobile.

However, some phones sold by the latter two carriers still have bootloaders that can't be unlocked, so the only sure-fire way is to buy direct from the manufacturer.

So in the final steps of finding out exactly why I stopped being able to Root:

Contacted Samsung Tech

Verified Carrier Requested removal of OEM UNLOCK - not Samsung Removal

Verified existence of Hybrid Android OS

Sometimes it takes a bit of time to get solid proof, however, this Article should sum up everyone looking for Root Status.

Hope this helps. Some phones are Effectively Perma-locked

So i bought a few weeks ago a Honor 10 for half the price because it's on demo mode, i can't use password/fingerprint and such, can't register contact they auto-delete, etc...

I tried everything like going in developper mode and disable demo etc... but still nothing.

Someone did comment on my YouTube video a while back saying that they had only 10GB and this enabled them to not be throttled and use 20+ GB. I cannot confirm that is true, but you can do the mod and test it. If you decide to do that, please report back!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Themes, Apps, and Mods] enzeden:
Is this confirmed to work on the SM-N960UZBASPR Snapdragon 845?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Themes, Apps, and Mods] nickelghandi:
It should work on any Galaxy Note 8 or Note 9 using the Sprint network with Sprint carrier customization.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Themes, Apps, and Mods] enzeden:
I just found out that the model numbers beginning with SM-N960U are unlocked models. The ones ordered through Sprint that are locked begin with SPHN960U. Will this work on these?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Themes, Apps, and Mods] nickelghandi:
Again, if it is on Sprint, it should work. Get the free version of the app. If it opens the LTE settings when you click the button, then it will work. If the app, instead, crashes, then it won't work because you don't have the LTE Settings application. It definitely won't mess anything up by trying. My app doesn't install or add anything. It only gives you the ability to make changes.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Themes, Apps, and Mods] enzeden:
The reason this information is vital to me is I have been with Sprint since 2006 and am on an original grandfathered "truly unlimited" account. My current device is a Sprint LG-LS993. I do not pay $30/mth for hotspot. I currently use PDAnet 5.10.4 to tether internet to my laptop via bluetooth and USB when I want to share internet with a Virtualbox VM. It works well enough to download not very large files, watch movies every once in a while and stay connected 24/7 with Youtube, email, etc... I have 1 day left in this billing cycle and I am at 95.1129/Unlimited GB of Data for this month. My data usage is never an issue. My income is not bigtime rolling so I have to thoroughly research how a device that my carrier provides me with is going to function with a tethering solution, as apposed to one I purchase outright for $1000 that is unlocked because I can't afford to. I order it through Sprint, get the hardware for $10, and pay $35/ month to own it. When an unlocked model number is SM-N960U and one locked down by Sprint is SPHN960UBLK I feel a need to know for sure that tethering solutions function on a particular variant.

Back in the old days most Sprint devices were rootable. I started out with a HTC EVO 4G rooted. Went to an LGG2 rooted, followed by a Note 4 rooted and hotspot was achievable. At that point all bootloaders became seriously locked down. So root was not an option for my Note 7, S7, S7 Edge and my current LGG6, but PDAnet has been. The difference between actual hotspot and PDAnet is with hotspot I can PING, but not with PDAnet. This is the difference between a large successful download and a corrupt one. The Samsung Galaxy Note 7 was the best device I have had. Mine was one of those manufactured in China and was not an exploder. The ones with a country of origin like Vietnam or Korea, those were the dangerous ones. I would probably still be using my Note 7 today had Samsung not recalled all of them. Thank goodness for promotions though. The consolation of that whole fiasco was the free 256 GB microSD on the first device and then the free VR Gear on the replacement. Shattered the screen on my S7 Edge so went to the LGG6 due to a free 48" flat screen TV on that promotion. That was the only reason I went from Samsung to LG. I miss SideSync and other Samsung only things.

So I'm ready for the move back to Samsung and could really utilize an actual "hotspot" connection. I just need to make damn sure your solution will work on the SPHN960UBLK variant before I make my move. Android forever.

Love the work you've been doing. Thank you for understanding for my need for particular details.
