I'm now on CSA6 and confirm still no fix to pro mode. Maybe someone on official beta can report this issue (cannot record video in pro camera mode).

But I am enjoying those nifty new pop up notifications. They perrty
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Mr. Orange 645:
I'm on official beta (ZRLL) and I don't see a way to record video in pro mode.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] KingVekxin:
Personally I don't know about the rest of you all but I'm waiting to see if old Samsung will give us that night mode in our cameras on one of these builds instead of making it an S10 on up exclusive
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Limeybastard:
I think Samsung have given up on the note 9 camera.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Rwhyayn:
interesting that they have overlooked this. Any chance you'd be willing to report this issue to Sammy?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] KingVekxin:
What makes u say that
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] butchieboy:
If I am connected to bluetooth in car there is no notification sound when I get a text message. I know on Oreo there was. I checked all volume settings and they are fine. Has anyone else noticed this or am I missing something?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] v3n0msn4k3:
They look different from CSA3?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Peezoslug:
I dont get notification sound either with Bluetooth or when headphone jack is connected to my car stereo aux. Disappointing!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Rwhyayn:
Completely different. Next time a friend thinks of me, sometime here within the next couple weeks, I'll try to grab a screenshot! ?

Wait am I that high? I just got a notification and it looked the same as before ??? bye
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Aakash Kaushal:
Anyone noticed any difference bw CSA6 AND CSA4?

New pop up notifications.. Can U post a pic? Thx
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] damikachu:
Basically with this enabled, apps that support pop-up view mode can be shown in a small window like this when you get a notification. Doing something, get text message, pop-up button appears under status bar, touch it, see text message in small window like in my screenshot. The only thing I don't like about it, is the button that pops up appears over the notification bubble you would normally get right under the status bar. Combine all that with edge lighting, and it's an ugly cluster ****. Otherwise it's a cool feature though!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Venom0642:
Very Odd you have this issue , I get notifications (PLUS THE SOUND) when connected to Bluetooth.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] ad44891:
How's the new running... Probably flawless like the others I assume lol.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Venom0642:
Yup wouldn't even have noticed that i'm on this build, getting excellent battery life like before, i haven't found any bugs on my end yet. :good::good::good:

Also i thought i would miss Oreo, Well guess what don't want to leave Android Pie this Firmware is Solid And Smooth lol :p:p:p
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] vipermg13!:
I am on the official beta and have reported it.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] NotATreoFan:
Are you simply connected to BT in the car, or connected and streaming audio? I get notifications when connected with audio streaming, but I don't get them with either no audio is playing or if Android Auto is connected. But I believe in the case of AA, that is by design.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Rwhyayn:
Much appreciated, Sir
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] butchieboy:
When I'm working my device is paired with my car for hands free phone calls. If I'm not on phone and get a text there is no notification sound. Someone else posted the have same issue. On Oreo I got text notification sound when connected to Bluetooth in car for calls

I know I keep posting..(sorry) just wondering if this is just me or if it happens to others. Not a deal break at all just a pain to have to actually look to see if I'm getting text instead of hearing it.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] ad44891:
Oreo who ?....
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] NotATreoFan:
OK, that is the same behavior I see. I will have to test this using my GF's Pixel 3 in order to see if it's a change made to Pie in general, or Samsung specific.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] harryo604:
I have a 960w I'm on Zrll beta

Seems like if I'm using spotify and YouTube vanced and close my phone both apps will stop working
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] DJBhardwaj:
Is it the latest stable?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] ad44891:
Hell 2the yea!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] jbeitel:
ARL2

so I have a question, Firmware.science has a second branch going for flashing the latest pie betas. We have been using ARJA (AT&T) to whatever the latest is but right underneath that there is an ARL2 to whatever the latest is. In my crazy mind that makes me think maybe they are going to switch and only do betas off ARL2 soon since its newer, however everything i find on SamMobile is ARL1 at best, not L2. Does anyone know what ARL2 is? Perhaps a typo? or something i just dont understand going on here?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Mwyann:
Do you have the ability to send reports to Samsung? Can you tell them about two bugs that are... well bugging me:

- When you split screen, you cannot touch the middle handle to get options such as swap apps, close app, turn into icon etc.

- The single quote symbol on Samsung's keyboard has disappeared (you have to press the symbol key first, which is annoying) (French layout).

Thanks!

CSA7 is on FOTA.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Venom0642:
Lol , i know ???
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] daviddem:
Literally I just flashed CSA6
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] lowkey74:
Lol. I just updated last night to csa6. Here we go again I guess.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] mitchell0714:
Excuse my ignorance, but with the N960U from T-Mobile, I should be able to simply enter odin and flash the firmware? What options should be checked? If I need to clear data and not just the cache and firmware I assume I should also be backing up and restoring? Or is this stable enough to be flashed without a factory reset

The front page isn't very helpful. I'm just trying to get the update now instead of waiting for the OTA update, I've rooted and flashed roms many times
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] BladeRunner:
You would need to flash ARJA in Odin. I usually uncheck the Auto Reboot option. Don't flash UserData. No need to wipe anything. Install latest Pie leak via SD Card or adb, again, as it is an OTA, no need to wipe. If you decide to go back to Oreo that is a different story as you would need to wipe. Backing up is always a good idea just in case something goes south during a flash.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] mitchell0714:
That was fast, thank you for your reply. So flash ARJA in odin (baseband and build, correct?), and then I also need to place the ROM on the SD card and install it in download mode?

Do you by chance have a link to ARJA and the latest OTA ROM for T-mobile? The one posted recently is for ATT
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] BladeRunner:
links to the files you need are at the top of the previous page. Flash the OTA from recovery, update from SD card, option.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] NotATreoFan:
The U and U1 firmware are technically universal, as long as you don't flash userdata. All of these leaks are coming from ATT servers, but they will work just fine on a TMO device. If you flash U firmware, you will even have all the TMO apps and features included by default. If you flash U1, there will be no TMO apps, and certain features won't work (Advanced Messaging, for example).

If you are changing from U to U1, or vice versa, you must factory reset your phone or the conversion will not work correctly.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] mitchell0714:
Glad you put this message up before I started, does this mean if I flash the ATT version it will not be fully compatible with my T-Mobile Note 9?

The links look to say N960U and my phone is N960U, so there's no U1 listed but it does say ATT in the file I downloaded, maybe I'm confused
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Rwhyayn:
This is the fun part! What are we all gonna do when the updates stop?! Back to sadness
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] NotATreoFan:
The updates in this thread starting with C are carrier builds, leaked from ATT, designed for phones running U firmware. You can flash these on a TMO device and you will have all TMO functions. Just do not flash the userdata file.

The official Samsung beta is based on U1 firmware, and starts with Z. In order to flash these, you need to convert your phone to U1 using a different firmware package. This route will give you carrier-neutral software, and that is where things like Advanced Messaging will not work.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] mitchell0714:
Thank you for writing it out in a clear manner, I understand now. Not sure why but it's more confusing now than it was when I was flashing custom rom's on my note 4 a few years back :eek:
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Limeybastard:
I remember seeing that on beta 1 official.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] tx_dbs_tx:
With these builds being compiled on a daily basis I can only assume the development team is very close to releasing the official OTA. I agree about a Jan. OTA being very likely. These AT&T builds work perfectly on my Sprint N960U and after flashing, my phone looks exactly like I walked out of the Sprint store with my new note 9, all Sprint bloat, status bar "Sprint", etc. fully intact.

For those wondering, it's confirmed that these AT&T Pie builds are universal and will actually install & setup your phone depending on the SIM card that's installed (U.S. carriers). The latest CSC tar's contained in the official Odin packages, regardless of carrier, contains CSC for all U.S. carriers. Within the actual software's system and framework are smali methods that dictate which CSC codes are used and is usually predetermined in the framework and many other system apk's and jar files inside framework. Depending on which carrier software you flash, this stuff gets written to db on first boot after flashing the ROM. But it's looking like Samsung has continued optimizing their software releases to make it more and more universal with every update. Most all framework and system apps between the various Samsung models are identical with the exception of hardware specific things such as camera module, chipset, etc. It's great to see Samsung making their smartphone software universal and more optimized. I noticed this since Marshmallow and was very happy about it. I'm speaking from first hand experience going over the guts for hundreds of hours when porting and building several Samsung ROM's. in the past few years. These AT&T Pie leaks are safe to flash on all other U.S. carrier Note 9's. Your SIM card will determine the carrier setup & carrier apps that get installed on first boot.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] mitchell0714:
Well **** something bad happened, I can't unlock my phone now after the update. I can't even turn it off. It asks for my pin and then just goes black and then back to the enter pin screen. It didn't error out in ODIN but it did when I tried to restart after the flash, so I force restarted it and now I'm here. Any ideas?

Just tried force restarting the phone and it didnt help :(
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Mr. Orange 645:
Yup. It's just like Oreo on the Note 8 and S8/+ models with the BYOD firmware. I'm not sure why Samsung didn't start out that way from the jump with the Note 9. It's already half set up for BYOD. It's halfway set up for BYOD now as it is. If you want to switch carrier firmware, you have to have the new carrier's SIM in prior to flashing. When I first tried to flash T-Mo firmware on my ATT Note 9, it would change the build number, but maintain all the ATT apps, bloatware, etc. When I placed my T-Mo SIM in it, flashed the U1 firmware so it would provision the SIM for TMB, then flashed T-Mo firmware, only then did it change the boatware. Now I'm on U1 firmware so it doesn't matter, but the SIM did make a difference. With full BYOD firmware, the whole process is just automated.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] lowkey74:
Happened to me once. Do you have att note 9?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Mr. Orange 645:
Actuallu you CAN flash USERDATA. it won't affect the carrier features one way or the other. It will still keep whatever carrier features and bloatware that are tied to your SIM card. But I believe it will do a factory reset of the device if you flash it.

Just wanted to clarify for those who want to do a full flash and want to factory reset anyway. Flashing CSC_OYN vs HOME_CSC will also cause a factory reset.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] mitchell0714:
TMO Note 9
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Mr. Orange 645:
I remember this being an issue back in the Note 8 days. I believe the problem is you let it boot back into the OS without installing the update zip from recovery.

When you flashed the four files in ODIN, you first have to uncheck auto-reboot in the options tab before hitting start. Then once ODIN finishes, you do the button combo to get into recovery and flash the update from the SD card.

I'm not sure if it's too late or not, but I believe if you hold down volume down and power until it shuts off, then immediately move to power, volume up, and Bixby, you can still get into recovery and install the update from your SD card.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] mitchell0714:
That would make sense considering it errored out in recovery mode and I told it to reboot back into the OS. The File is on the SD card, but it's not the ext card its internal and I don't see an option to use the internal card...so uhhh yeah. Nevermind, I can pull the external card out. I'm reflashing now and I'll report back... good advice

Wish I had known the update is REQUIRED after flashing the new firmware

I did uncheck auto reboot by the way
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] lowkey74:
I have att note. I had to force mine into recovery and odin all over again to my current oreo firmware and it took care of the issue for me.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Mr. Orange 645:
I think this procedure has been laid out in detail so many times in this thread already, that we kind of give an abbreviated version when someone asks now and assume they have read and know those steps.

He told you to uncheck auto reboot, but he didn't tell you to first boot into recovery to flash the update. No malicious intent, just probably skimmed through the instructions assuming you had more of an understanding of the procedure.

You can't flash it from the internal storage. If it's not on your SD card, then you have two options:

1. Put it on your computer and select update from ADB

2. Put it on your computer and manually move it to the SD card then re insert the SD Card into your phone.

If you have time, kind of skim back through this thread and do some research. You don't have to read all 300+pages. Honestly the last 20 or 30 probably have all the most recent info and instructions to help you understand all the differences in build number and flashing procedures. And links to all the files thanks to Venom.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] NotATreoFan:
Flash again, but leave Auto Reboot on. After the Odin flash completes, the phone will boot into recovery automatically. Pay no attention to any errors, if you plan to factory reset (highly advised). Select the wipe option, let it complete, and then flash the Pie OTA from your SD card. That update takes about 10 minutes, and you will then boot into a clean OS and have to set it up from new.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] mitchell0714:
Patching via external sd card now, so I should be in the normal process now. Hopefully the security files didn't get f*ed up like people had issues with on previous phones where the fingerprint function would completely corrupt the device.

While I understand it has been explained many times in this thread, do you think people are going to look through 300 pages to find one? Would you? It just doesn't make sense. A simple 5-10 step guide on the front page would have prevented me from even having to ask, and yes I did look through 10-20 pages before asking.

By no means do I believe anyone in this thread has malicious intent, I'm not even upset in the slightest. Just a bit critical (which can come off weird considering this is all FREE help)
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] tx_dbs_tx:
For those who aren't aware, I highly recommend that you go into security settings and delete all of your saved fingerprints BEFORE you factory reset and BEFORE you ODIN the stock RJA software and flash any of the PIE update zips. This will prevent corrupting the secure data/fingerprints. ALWAYS make a habit of doing this and you'll never run into this problem.

I also agree about the need for instructions BUT this thread was never about giving detailed instruction for people. As many times as some users here copy and pasted their instructions and their repeated posts about people asking repeat questions and telling people to read, one would thing that at least one of these people would have created a GUIDE in it's own separate thread. instead of repeating posts about "please read the previous posts" and "this has already been answered 316 times already!". That time could be better spent creating a separate guide thread for these people and increase your likes in the process. :rolleyes:
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] mitchell0714:
Phew, Note 9 is functioning normally and on the CSA3 firmware.

I'm very appreciate of the help provided to me by those of you in this thread, not only did you provide me the information I needed, you did it faster than any outsourced customer service rep of a multi-billion dollar company could do.

I believe the OP should include the following information:

You MUST update to ARJA firmware via Odin if you're updating from android 8 to 9

You MUST place the ARJA to ____ (CSA3) update on your ext sd card and update via recovery after flashing (or via ADB)

---------- Post added at 08:09 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:07 PM ----------

I'm happy to produce instructions or a guide, but I know when to step back if it's not my area of expertise. This is fairly basic once it's explained, but if it isn't explained it can definitely throw people off..

If someone wants me to draft instructions and then an expert revise it, I'm happy to do so.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] DevilDog1980:
Same here. I checked and rechecked background play settings, but no change. I'm sorry it's happening to you, but glad it's not just me.....lol.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Mr. Orange 645:
Sorry you took offense to my suggestion to skim back through the last 20-30 pages. It was not intended to offend. I was merely trying to help you by pointing out where you could find some good information that might prevent problems in the future for you. Again, I'm sorry and I won't do it again.

I'm also sorry you misunderstood. I never told you to read all 300 pages, and I never scolded you. I was explaining why you didn't get the full detailed instructions.

As for me? Yes I would read all. 300+ pages. I have actually. Or I would use the search bar to help me. But that's just me. I was genuinely just trying to help point you in the right direction. Sorry it offended you, seriously.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] KOLIOSIS:
+1 Mos Def,especially if you're selling a phone,could definitely leave the new owner in a bind.

I always delete all accounts before I factory reset as well.

Just an overabundance of caution & I don't like to sign back in to any accounts on a freshly reset phone until I've tweaked all the settings throughout the phone before I open the door to Google/Samsung/etc......

Also a good practice if you're one of those who don't remember passwords/have 'em stored anywhere handy................

I didn't say ANY of that. At all. Go back and read my reply again. I was the one who provided him the solution to his problem, then I told him where he could find more information.

If you give someone the answer they are bound to forget it. But if you teach them where they can find the answers for themselves, then they can always go back and find it. An instructor taught me that.

Jesus, I was genuinely trying to help the guy.

Stupid question. I have TMO...I've been flashing ah2, update to h4, to arja, then the beta... can I just flash the ARJA even if it is from ATT with no issues? If not, does anyone have a TMO ARJA or am I good to go with the ATT ARJA?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Mr. Orange 645:
You can use the ATT ARJA files. It's universal
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] pcriz:
Yes you can just flash arja.

The builds are basically universal.

You're good to go with ATT arja, that should be the only arja
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] justinsch03:
Thanks for the quick response. Will save me a couple steps with these new builds.
