About to flash but just want to make sure i have all the information first. It appears i won't be able to use my 128gb sd as its exfat formatted, so i'll need a smaller one with fat32 right?

Also here in my region (CSC TEL) our latest is CRL2 so i should flash CRL3 through odin? Only asking because my CSC is not apart of this OXM thing so just wanted to verify.

Hello everybody,

I'm on CRI5 right now and i do not have a pc ? Who can provide me a safety flashable zip of CRL3 please?

PS : i'm on G950F / CRI5 100% stock unrooted
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] ErnestoD:
U dont need the PC Just download zip file from first post and follow instructions

I updated today and i was trying the new gestures and i was dissapointed by the total performance of the phone but i decided to disable the geatures and damn. There is a big difference. Idk somehow gestures make the ui laggy.

Another thing i noticed character preview when typing is kind of slow but its ok. :D
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] ELMoro752:
Maybe you can borrow a friends laptop, otherwise you're not going to be able to switch to CRL3 from your current firmware, which is necessary for you to be able to apply the update zip for the beta pie upgrade.

Download the BTU CRL3 firmware from here, and flash it through Odin.

https://samfrew.com/download/Galaxy__S8__/nyb4/BTU/G950FXXU4CRL3/G950FOXM4CRL1/

He still need to be on CRL3 firmware before applying the update zip in recovery. Unfortunately he do need to use Odin for this, so please don't give out misleading information.

Will anything happen if i flash this without having my device updated to the latest security and firmware updates?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] tissot:
Nothin besides an error and that the update wont work..
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] ELMoro752:
I do have a solution for you that doesn't require a pc.

Since you currently are on the September Security patch, you will have to update each update zip separately to reach the December CRL3, which is needed before you flash the beta pie update zip in OP.

I have each file for you to download, so make sure you follow this noob friendly instruction.

It's important that you put the update zips on the SD card and flash them in the order I just instructed below, so make sure you don't get confused having these 3 files on your sd card at the same time and flash them in the wrong order. After putting them on the sd card write down the order to not get it mixed up. When that is done follow instructions below.

Power off your device and enter recovery mood

(Volume up - Bixby button +Power

1. Update.zip from*G950FXXU4CRI5*to*G950FXXU4CRJ5*for SD card -*https://cloud.mail.ru/public/CZMK/uYtnP53di

Reboot and boot into the phone. Let the update complete and switch off your phone and reboot into recovery again.

2. Update.zip from*G950FXXU4CRJ5*to G950FXXU4CRK1 for SD card -*https://cloud.mail.ru/public/7oh3/MfbAATRhx

Reboot and boot into the phone. Let the update complete and switch off your phone and reboot into recovery again.

3. Update.zip from*G950FXXU4CRK1*to G950FXXU4CRL3 for SD card -*https://cloud.mail.ru/public/5FAp/FJAvX1bS9

Reboot and boot into the phone. Let the update complete. You are now on CRL3 and can go ahead and grab the pie beta update zip from one of the links in the OP. Happy flashing. ??

[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] ELMoro752:
Are you sure that you downloaded the correct file for the S8 and not the s8+? Since error 21 is failed to verify whole file signature and signature verification failed.

[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] ELMoro752:
You have nothing to worry about. The update files won't wipe your data, so you should be fine without a backup. If you by accident flashed the wrong update file the installation would just end without any modifications to the system.

[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] ELMoro752:
Mega link should still be fine. In case you need an alternative you have the beta pie update zip to download from this link, which is the original zip file that was used to create the Google drive and mega link ?

[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] ELMoro752:
Who knows when Samsung will release beta 2, we can only speculate. It will probably be within the next two weeks or so if you go by previous ETA's in beta programs.

And if you haven't enrolled in the official beta program but flashed ZSA5 update zip manually in recovery, you will have to be patient and wait until someone pull the beta 2 update zip and upload it, and then you would only be able to flash it if you already on the ZSA5.

[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] ELMoro752:
So odin won't recognise your device in download mode?

In regards to playstore and security settings not working. Sign out of your google account and clear data on the following Google apps (See screenshot)

Then reboot your device. Sign into your Google account again and try to reopen the playstore and see if it now work.

Hi . U are right I maybe downloaded the s8 plus update. Thank u very much for your advice
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] oDeveloper:
Hey man..

I'm really sorry, I misunderstood the post..

just realized there are only 2 ways to install the update..

the first section of the post is to update to CRL3..

Anyway, some people said over the thread that the update might not work with sdcard over 32gb, not formatted to fat32

Can you verify that?

Because I have 64gb sdcard (probably not formatted to fat32) and I am not sure if I can install the update or not ..

Thanks in advance!

------------

fixed downloaded the G955 update and was wanting to update the G950 phone. of course it didn't work.

maybe the op needs to underline/bold/high color the two links so you don't download the wrong one.

also the first two links were down when I first wanted to download so naturally I went for the 3rd link - wrong one. :)

[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] lpy:
I updated using a 64GB exFAT SD card and it worked fine. You have to flash CRL3 first. I used CRL3 UK firmware and then updated to 9.0. I'm with Optus and lost VoLTE but I can deal with that for a couple of months until the official AU version is released.

the answer is yes. you need to be on crl3 - to get there and not loose your settings/apps use odin to flash crl3 firmware (from updato.com) and home_csc. be sure to download the right update.zip for your model and place it on sd card.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] thiorb:
Thanks for the confirmation.

One last question. When I go to Updato and search for CRL3, I see the PDA as G950FXXU4CRL3 and the CSC as G950FOXM4CRL1 as seen in the image below:

[IMG="CRL3 XEU"]https://ibb.co/zbSGc1F[/IMG]

Is this the correct download for CRL3?

---------- Post added at 07:55 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:33 AM ----------

The first beta comes out on 2019.01.16. It's too early for the second beta, unless if need some hotfix for something. Usually Samsung release 4-5 beta updates per every 1 or 2 weeks. When there is new beta you will find it in the first post of this thread :)

You can't. Unless you are officially registered for the beta. The other way is to collect your bugs and share them here (or Reddit) with the rest and the people who can give feedback to report them to Samsung. Also, any suggestions that you want to see in final beta - something to be better or adding missing features etc.

Why would you get OTA updates if you're not registered in the beta program? Did you think Samsung will just go "Oh right, that fella there isn't registered as a part of our BETA testing program but let's just send him BETA software to test anyway"?

now trying to flash ZSA5 through ADB Sideloading, but device is not recognized in recovery mode in adb..

Any ideas on how to fix this? :confused:

FRENCH

J'ai acheté un SM-G955F donc Galaxy S8+ en France chez Bouygues avec forfait donc le tel était en ROM et CSC BOG (Bouygues).

J'ai effectué une sauvegarde de mes données avec Smart Switch sur PC (dispo sur mac j’imagine).

Ensuite, j'ai flashé d'en un premier temps la ROM en CRL3 avec SamFirm pour la télécharger.

J'ai flashé la ROM CRL3 avec Odin.

J'ai télécharger l'update.zip de Mega : https://mega.nz/#!kV8mGSbQ!GbS3b3SJO...6_R4jXzgfUhVk8

j'ai mis le fichier update.zip dans la sd de mon tel.

j'ai reboot avec power + vol up + bixby.

un Droid apparaît sur un fond bleu, c'est normal, le tel dis que il n'y a pas de commande et affiche un panneau attention; pas d’inquiétudes c'est normal.

la une page avec des lignes apparait, il faudra descendre avec les touches vol up et vol bas pour sélectionner un choix, il faut sélectionner "apply update from sdcard" et valider avec power ou bixby.

la il faudra être patient (5/10minutes) le telephone va afficher des lignes de commandes, laissez le faire, une fois la mise à jour terminé le téléphone redemarre tout seul et finis ses mises à jour.

Je n'ai pour ma part pas eu besoin de faire une restauration d'usine et n'ai perdu quasiment aucune données.

ENGLISH

I bought a SM-G955F so Galaxy S8 + in France at Bouygues with package so the tel was in ROM and CSC BOG (Bouygues).

I made a backup of my data with Smart Switch on PC (available on mac I imagine).

Then, I flashed at first the ROM in CRL3 with SamFirm to download it.

I flashed the ROM CRL3 with Odin.

I downloaded Mega's update.zip: https://mega.nz/#!kV8mGSbQ!GbS3b3SJO...6_R4jXzgfUhVk8

I put the file update.zip in the sd of my tel.

I rebooted with power + vol up + bixby.

a Droid appears on a blue background, it is normal, so says that there is no command and displays a sign attention; no worries that's normal.

the page with lines appears, it will go down with the keys up and down to select a choice, select "apply update from sdcard" and confirm with power or bixby.

it will be necessary to be patient (5 / 10minutes) the telephone will display lines of commands, let it do, once the update finished the phone restart all alone and finishes its updates.

I did not need to do a factory restore and lost almost no data.
