Beta 3 is still missing the blur behind notification tray and in the multitasking tray. Can't phantom why as the note 9 and s9(+) have it and blur is everywhere else in the UI (edge screen and app drawer).

Hi guys, can i install betas on my s8 brand tim? Or they're only for no brand ones?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] thatzenko:
You can debrand it by flashing another CSC (with CRL3) and then update from CRL3 to the betas.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Sputnik2001:
So i have to install a CRL3 update with a no branded CSC and then flash the betas? And the warranty?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] ahadbukhari:
Remember these updates are for SM-G950F/FD (S8) and SM-G955F/FD (S8+).
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] SSHLord-R:
Don't worry about the warranty, it will be ok as long as you flash official samsung firmware.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] henklbr:
Or you could just wait a little longer: according to some people in this thread, the official version will come next week...

If you want to debrand your phone, TIM -> ITV, you'll have to flash AP BL CP & CSC_OXM (not HOME_CSC_OXM): this will result in a reset of your device.

Leave your SIM-card in your device; when flashing is complete, and you get a pop-up "SIM-card changed": accept!

Now your device is an unbranded Italian-device.

But: it's possible some network-related (TIM) functions won't work anymore, like i.e. VoLTE and/or VoWiFi

Could some one help me roll back to Oreo please...

I am on a MAC using JOdin, and have got as far as applying all the files, but when I do it tells me one of the files is corrupted. I have downloaded the same firmware from SamMobile twice now and everytime I get this issue.

Do I download an O2 specific firmware (I am on O2 in the UK) or a BTU version?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] geri005:
Can't you set up a Windows VM and use regular Odin? I have no experience with JOdin, can't help with that.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] :
Well guys i installed yesterday bootcamp on my mac to use odin and downgraded my phone to crl3 first.

Than i did installed the update.zip's one by one in order. After that i did a factory reset.

All seems work fine. UI looks amazing and the feel ao smooth. I kind of like the new navigation gestures.

I think the final build is not far away anymore.

Its quite easy for someone who has a little experience with flashing and odin

We can go to the official release of Pie through update.zip as we did in case of all the three betas. We might not receive further official updates as explained by [MENTION=1666790]geri005[/MENTION] in the post quoted above.

So we have to flash the official release via Odin in order to receive official updates.

call id and spam filter

hi guys, i went trhough all the 3 betas, all smooth, just one issue: it keeps telling me mobile sim card has changed and that i need to reset my phone in order to have access to all services. So far what i cannot turn on is caller id and spam filter on calls. any ideas how to solve this without going for a factory reset? thanks
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] raider2k9:
Any region will have the same Build, for example DRLB.. it's only matter of time, Not every region ist updated the same time.. but the update ist multi-csc, so DBT will never have another CSC as latest update, then BTU or so on.. the firmware, not the one provided from your carrier, is always the same.. what tells your device to update or not ist the simcard.

[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] geri005:
Different regions have different build numbers regardless of multi csc. There was a guy here who was still on CRAP FW the first official Oreo build for BTU. Never got and update since, cause it never existed in other regions. They already patched a number of bugs before other regions received it.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Gabriel Martins:
It does not make any sense what this guy explained, Samsung only has 2 types of builds the retail and the operator, the retail is the multi csc, which is just a rom for several countries. This way anyone who is using is beta version of Pie multi csc and upgrade to the final version will update the following ota versions normally, there is no rom version for BTU and another version for DBT, it is the same software version, but with muiti csc , each csc right handed of this unique rom has different server address ota.

Proof attached.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] zam82:

ROM and DBT are from CSC-OXM (Multi-CSC) but in some cases one updates more frequently (DBT). You can install DBT version in ROM version but you won't have an update OTA in ROM because of the build version and CSC.

Wrong! [MENTION=6477477]keynerajs93[/MENTION] is correct...

The Note9 had the Beta-program too, see my post here:

https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=78233910&postcount=1

As you can see in my post, the 1st official release was in Germany (DBT)

ZRLT -> CRLT

However: this official update was only released in Germany.

I'm from the Netherlands (PHN). I was side-loading the beta's and installed the official release from Germany CRLT.

My country, the Netherlands, was still on ARL3.

The 1st official release for the Netherlands was CSA2 (did not receive the update from CRLT->CSA2: had to do this manually). This build was released in many countries, but: NOT i.e. in NorDic (NEE).

NorDic got the update from ARL3 -> CSA7.

With other words: if people from Nordic were sideloading the UPDATE.ZIP files, their latest was CSA2 -> they will never receive OTA CSA2 -> CSA7, because CSA2 was never released for NorDic (NEE)...

They had to update manually with Odin to CSA7 (or sideload the UPDATE.ZIP CSA2->CSA7) first, in order to receive future updates again...

Hello everyone.

After I flashed the Beta 3, the VoLTE symbol disappeared, but the setting is still there.

I also think that even if the option is on, VoLTE doesn't work during calls.

Does anyone know of a fix?

Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] keynerajs93:
As far as I know, in Android to use VoLTE or Wi-Fi Calling you need some configuration by the operator in the system. Therefore the stock versions (without operator customization) do not offer it. Although I have seen that there are some CSC (THL, etc.) that allow having VoLTE and the option to record calls. Visually appears on but in practice does not work. If I'm not right, I hope someone can correct me.
