Did you flash BTU FW to update to beta 1 or updated directly from CRL3 to Beta 1?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] gerardo87:
Unfortunately yes, it's already answered multiple times and the search button is really helpful but anyway when the official pie fw will be available then you will need to download the official fw from your favourite source (samfirmware or samfirm are the most suggested) and flash it with Odin like any other official firmware. It's suggested also to make a backup and forward a full wipe when you come from a beta, just to be sure that you will not have any issues.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] stridervaux:
ahh i see.... thank you so much bro ! ........a small suggestion ......its better u put this as quote on the 1st page as if anyone lookin to get this info might find it on the 1st page itself...makes things easier.... they will then know what have to be done once beta applied and hw they going to install the official firmware ....

thank you again !...

I'm on beta 3

Can someone help with how to change the csc to enable native call recorder?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] firefds:
Either root or find someone with a Hot Mobile sim.

In both cases you will need to factory reset your device.

Hi, So I tried to Flash my firmware with Odin at least 10 times and I get stuck at the very beginning, the green line does not even start to move and it FAILS always at "sboot.bin".

I've been searching this thread for "sboot.bin" and nothing pops up so I'm wondering If anybody knows what that could be? I'm using S8 950F, Odin v3.13.1 and firmware "AFR-G955FXXU4CRL3-20181220112510" (that's the folder name, sorry if that's not correct because it is my first time doing this).

If anyone knows how to fix this please let me know.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] firefds:
Your answer is in your question..

You have G950F device and trying to flash a G955F rom..
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Prkzingis:
Well now's obvious that I was doing this for the first time ... :(

Thanks for opening my eyes. Could you please provide me with a link to download the right firmware (higher download speed desirable).?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] zainbfaisal:
Yup, still the same thing here, still haven't found any solution yet, but I'll try with an older Bootloader from 8.0 and then report back to you then but for today I'm done will try that tomorrow in like 10 hours.

I can confirm that there was bug in beta2. I didn't notice it much at the time, I thought I pressed something etc.. but the keyboard often typed 2 letters instead on one...

It is possible that there will be beta3->official pie OTA, which someone will extract to zip!?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] diegonnc:
It was an issue when using stock keyboard and typing too fast ,only present on beta 2 and gone on beta 3. So if you are on beta 3 theres no way for you too actually see it.

Hi guys, can I flash release after it will roll out with sd card like we have done before? Or I need return to 8.0 oreo use Odin and after that to take my update through FOTA.

Or I will be able to download release and use Odin just flash android pie without return to android 8.0?

I don't exactly understand correct step return to release, most simply step and better for me
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] zainbfaisal:
Do you have Any fix for "Only official released binaries are allowed"?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] gerardo87:
Could be possible but not suggested imho. Remember that you will come from a beta fw and maybe an hard reset could have more benefits than the dirty flash of an ota.

[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] dalanik:
You will either have to flash from Odin the official Pie (no need to return to Oreo), or someone will post OTA zip file like these for betas, and you will just install from SD card like you did beta. They say it is good to do restore to factory but I never had any problems and will definitely not be doing it. Too much work to set everything.

I don't think there is anything dirty about it :) that is a myth floating on this forums.... m
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] gerardo87:
It's not properly a myth because the system doesn't remove all the folder that can cause some issues in some cases and you can read a lot about users who complaining regarding problems only because an update without make an hard reset but anyway it's your choice (you can do the reset anytime after the update) and mine was only an advice. The reset it's not a mandatory ;)

Trying to flash TWRP after Beta 3 but it gives me this Error but I still can Flash TWRP on Beta 2
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] :
Im currently not on Pie but its possible that samsung removed the option to turn that off. But thats because most android apps has adaptive icons enabled. The app dev has to update his app in order to remove the frame and fit the app logo in to adaptive icons through android studio.

I did it in my own app and its not much work at all. Its 5 min work.

So contact your app dev.

He told that he his very busy currently. Write a PM to him and maybe you will be luckyer

Could be that samsung has made a change. So maybe TWRP needs to be updated it self.

You have to factory reset otherwhise when downgrading errors can appear such as bootloops force closes battery drain, mixed cscs etc.

Flash latest availlable oreo Firmware for your country (csc) and make sure it is right model number

Do a factory reset before, or after the downgrade? And.. For sure.. I can use the CRL3 Rom right?

[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] :
I suggest you to flash your country's llatest availlable firmware.

Select BL to BL, AP to AP, CP to CP.

When selecting CSC make sure it is the normal CSC not the Home CSC

Flash with odin and you are good to go.

Keep in mind that after flashing, your phone will boot in recovery and perform a factory reset automaticly.

As always do a backup your phone will be wiped
