Wondering the same myself. I have not.
Someone did mention on an Android site that the beta users should see the OTA pushed in the next few days.

I've known it take over a week to appear ?
I think they prioritise all the older builds first then push it to us beta users ?

Doubt it will wipe. But you could flash the whole image removing the -w from the bat file.

just flash the system img only
pretty simple
I just got the 7.1.2 image OTA on my Pixel XL and Project Fi. My wife's Pixel hasn't got it yet.
Never used an OTA always flash image simple and no problems, I remember in the past sometimes battery drain etc after installing a OTA

I've been seeing delays in the Verizon rollout with this OTA, not sure why. I have a vzw Pixel however I'm on Project Fi and got the ota almost immediately. I'm not sure if that changes it or not, however.
We also need separate threads or disclaimers for those with locked bootloaders and those unlocked. To say just flash the image instead of sideloading the ota is ludicrous if the bl is locked. That simply can't be done.

Ahh right this thread was intended for people on the beta release ?
I haven't received the OTA yet, I'm on beta 2. I downloaded the update and tried to sideload it, but the installation failed because it says that the beta 2 is a newer build and it won't downgrade. I guess I'll just wait until the OTA from my carrier.
sideloaded the OTA file over Beta 2 tuesday morning and all went fine...have at it! :good:

I just signed up for the beta and as of today there are 87 of 200 slots taken. I'm in Sweden at the moment.
No download or update yet, but that would take up to 2 weeks.
I'm used to rooting and custom ROMing my phones, but there are no options for this one, so the beta is the next best thing.

It would be nice if you can report back after some days regarding the battery, software, performance and camera.
I already tried to get the update through the beta program, but for me it says no project available. Maybe I can install it from FF, but I don't know if it will be good.
Thanks!

There is not much difference from the latest non-beta update. I would say that the phone is slightly less responsive than before the beta-update, especially when unlocking the phone with fingerprint.
I'm having a separate issue on the camera that was there pre-beta, so I can't give info on the camera.
I have been running the beta for 2 days and now suddenly the screen is unresponsive and the phone randomly reboots. Then suddenly it starts working again.
Anyone else experiencing this?
And does anyone know how to roll back to EMUI 5?

I've crawled the length and width of the internets and there is yet a way to roll back the beta. It's just too new.
I downloaded and tried to flash older firmware, but since the beta resizes the partitions, you can't do it anything until someone with more knowledge puts time and effort into sorting it out. I got as far as unlocking the bootloader but no further.
As for the random reboots, you could try a factory reset. You could also unenroll from the beta, although I was unable to, I think it's because I have an open ticket in the BETA app.

I'm on the S8+ so luckily I didn't have to use the paid links. Will try this after I backup my phone. Would you say it's good enough to use as my daily driver?
I am not having any issues that I can see. Battery life is a complaint but I have not had that issue either. If you flash beta 2 for the S8+ be prepared to do a factory reset.

You have to be on the listed firmware. Cannot be on anything but what they posted. I downloaded mine from updato just use Sprint XAS. It will reinstall Verizon bloat on first boot. Also install nougat and before rebooting it will take you to recover just install the Oreo beta then before setting up the device.
Does this by chance have wifi tethering unlocked in beta??
I wonder if there is a way to root the beta yet
Just to be clear, this has been tested on the Verizon G950U? Very cautious when dealing with Verizon Samsung devices that don't have unlocked bootloaders... Thanks in advance.
Yes I personally did beta 1 on my own device and successfully flashed back when I was done testing.
Beta 4 is now available. Buttery smooth and good battery life. Only glitch I am seeing if fast charging is hit or miss.

You have Orea beta 4 on Verizon? What is the build number? How did you do it? With the latest update I am now on bootloader 2 so I don't think you can do it like originally posted.
I believe you can still get to it. What update are you on with your phone? I was on I believe Verizon's latest and still flashed back to the OP then to AJC and then ZQKM.

The latest firmware is a 2 bootloader so I don't think you can go back--2BQK5
Go into download mode and look at the bootloader line if it says B2. We might have to look into a different method.

Some Substratum theme options weren't yet working. A few random force closes. Security Log agent messages from some apps. Lag in the notification shade when playing Spotify (so possibly any media). It's not like Oreo is a big upgrade, so I'm not in a rush to get it.

I just got this phone two days ago and have been away from the forums for over 2 years. Root is available for BQJA if I read correctly. Is that right? I just want root for substratum. Downloaded it from the Play Store and it's offering me to buy an add on for "supported Samsung"

You don't need root for Substratum. The $1.99 add-on does work and is probably required.

You can, but only by using the built in "my files" app.. Also go to settings>apps then tap the dots in the top right and tap special access and look at the bottom of the list. Do you see install unknown apps?
I hope they fix the theming issues, half of the icons get the stupid white border/frame. even when you turn off icon frames its stays. its the biggest reason why I switched back. This Beta is really stale this year. I have it on my s8 to and I'm not really impressed
