Hey guys thought I could start this any news on Oreo coming to T-Mobile Note 8?? Post all news here thanks guys
I asked tmobile and samsung mobile I was redirected to support page for os Nougat on tmobile website.. Nothing else new.
Samsung announced that the Note 8 will get Oreo, the time line has not been said.
Oreo Beta
https://www.reddit.com/r/GalaxyNote8/comments/7ibsip/android_oreo_ota_this_is_real/
Been running this since yesterday. Only issue I've come across is that I can't allow unknown sources. Other than that it's ok so far. Truly nothing groundbreaking about it compared to the latest official update.

Whaaa! That means that pretty soon we'll all be rolling in the bask of Oreo. Can't wait for the official update to roll out. [emoji2]

I installed the Oreo beta and don't like it. Want to go back to stable. I downloaded the original firmware AQH9 and have tried flashing in ODIN, but am getting a SHA256 failure error...
EDIT: Solved by using newer BQJA firmware to flash back to.
Oreo is running great! I didnt even have to use ODIN. (2) Update.zip(s) and a Factory Reset and i am good to go!

Samsung Connect seems to have a bug and Android webview keeps force closing but Oreo Beta seems pretty cool otherwise..

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
Deleted, nvm. Lol

I couldn't even check for it. I clicked 'check now for update' and got a message saying that my OS has been modified in an unauthorized way, lol. I've never seen that before. Usually I can at least download an OTA.

Ha ha. No, no, no. The name will be complex and have lots of random letters in it. That's why we need someone to pull the actual name they get with their OTA.

You'll probably have to reflash stock recovery back on with Multi Tool and then hopefully it'll update manually via the dload folder method.

B313 is reported as beta version as you will find here. It´s odd you got the OTA notice for a beta.
I would wait some more days for the final MM6.0 release.

Did anyone get a notification for an update today? The version is "PB1" (LRX21T.G900VVRU2BPB1). It appears to just be a security patch. https://www.verizonwireless.com/support/galaxy-s5-update/ Assuming someone will dump it out, root it, and we'll be able to flash with FlashFire? I've pre-ordered a S7 so I don't know if I'll even try before I ditch this phone.
I'll give it a shot, assuming I can trigger the update.

Hopefully it can be rooted using the new root method and they can make a ROM or 2 for us.

Does anyone know if it is 5.1? I was just chatting with Samsung they said it was but I updated and it showed it was still 5.0... So did my phone not fully install it or what?
Someone confirm, this appears to update the bootloader and break our root method
EDIT: All is good
I tried multiple times to update to this ROM today, and I failed multiple times lol. I've tried enough for today. I might try again tomorrow.

Still good ol' 5.0. Change list is the same as well. Just a security update from what I gather.
just update with flashfire via http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=65593555&postcount=724 using the same keeproot method? Also, I've never been able to use xposed. Do I have to have deodexed for that?

Several weeks, maybe a month ago one of the android news sites listed the Samsung timetable for the phones that would get it. It wasn't carrier specific but rather device specific and the S5 is slated for a May release from Sammy according the article I read.
Anyone noticed the new firmware found with FF? The version is NXT-L09C432B580, dated 2017.04.19. None of system update or HiCare early adopters shows it.
How can it used to flash the phone?
Thanks.

In firmware finder it's showing L29C185B580 but it didn't work for me ... after the full file download ... 2.2 GB it's say this

I downloaded, unzipped, stuck it in the dload folder, rebooted with the up/down volume. It's like it did
with the firmware finder app also, gets to 5% and fails. Sounds like I'll have to wait until the built in

I'll keep the link though, perhaps one day it will work properly.

Your bootloader is locked, right? I ask it because I wonder if there is an order to install these differents files, and I wonder if it will be easier to install it via TWRP. I looked the content of the small file and I'm not sure what it is.

Could be...Yes, I'm pretty sure the bootloader is locked. There is an option in developer options to allow it to be unlocked, but
it pops up a security warning, so I don't know if it will work or if it will hose something else.
I guess the "official" 580 will hit my phone one of these days soon.

You can see the difference with Huawei extractor in the screenshots below.
These are the files:
DTS.img
MODEMNVM_UPDATE.img
PRODUCT.img
RECOVERY2.img
SYSTEM.img
VENDOR.img
They are missing in OTA file.
"Huawei made changes in the installation process of the firmware. Now the firmware before installation passes the procedure of online checking. If you receive an "authentication failure" when installing the firmware, then at this time it is not possible to install this firmware on this unit, you need to wait. For the most stubborn:We did not find a way to bypass this test yet.. You need to wait until your imei is listed for this firmware, or make it "available to all"

Seems like the only way we'll be updating our phones from b560 before Huawei pushes OTA, is to roll back and upgrade directly to b580, or flash through custom recovery.

This is what i found in network for B580:
Status: Official (beta)
Version: NRD90M
EMUI: 5.0
"Disclaimer: This update is in beta stage which means that it may carry bugs that can have an impact on the usability of the device. Moreover, since this is a multifile update, you may encounter errors if you try installing this with the stock recovery."

Thank's for sharing this! I'm on the newest stock fw for Verizon, were you on the same?
Edit: Nevermind should have read their full post lol
Just go to updato and get the Sprint xas version does not require paid download like that OP's link.

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.

Alright will do, was hoping I could avoid that but I backed everything up with Smart Switch to be safe. May actually wait til after the gym to try this, would hate to not have my music.
Anybody attempt it on the latest AQK3 update? Everything work, Samsung pay and such?

I meant it based off the link you put in the original post. I'm on the latest update AQK3 and want to try to run oreo based on your link.

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.
