Thanks for pointing that out, but why would i be looking at a verizon thread? Ah never mind.
Does this doe a clean install or just update you from 8 to 9. Also is it good to use on sprint tmobile and Verizon.

It just updates it all of your stuff should stay intact but I would still recommend that you make a backup and save whatever you really want because some times things just go wrong.

Thanks for the heads up. It worked great. No major issues so far. A little glitch when pulling settings down when locked. But besides that it is amazing. Alot snappier everywhere else.
I have a TMO running the unlocked firmware N950U1UE5CRK1. Can I flash the TMO update.zip on top? Or flash the TMO US5CRK1 first? Thanks!
nevermind, can not be done, switching firmware to US5CRK1
If you are already in US5CRK1 you just need download UPDATE.ZIP and put it in your phone SD Card. Then boot up in Recovery Mode and install update.zip from there. Enjoy

I have N950USQU5DRL6 and already on Pie, how do I get DRL7? I downloaded the update.zip CRK1 to DRL7.
Reason I ask is because last time I was on DRL5 and just flashed the update.zip which brought me to DRL6.

Check Netflix. When you watch a movie, does the picture show, or do you get a black screen and audio only?

Have you switched to ART or anything like that? Tried a reboot or factory reset?
The update is failing for me as well. Stock rooted with TWRP and Xposed. After starting the update, the phone goes into TWRP and starts running an update script, but fails.

I just turned on my phone a few minutes ago and saw the update.
Honestly, I wanted to check here on the XDA forum first to see who installed the UPDATE for the phone, because frankly, after the recent Lollipop UPDATE that Google sent out to their Nexus line of devices, and the HUGE DRAMA with system BUGS, I'm leaning toward conservative -- even though I know this isn't a Lollipop O/S update.
UPDATE: I found the link on T-Mobile's website, and they say, "This update provides Chinese language support"
https://support.t-mobile.com/docs/DOC-18152
Went ahead and allowed the update to be applied but because I have already rooted it the update wouldn't take.

Just a few more days and I will get home to my Edge that is sitting in its box. After setting it up I am going to use your root method.
Saw the update this morning when I got up and this popped up in the googletron. I know it's for the Note 4 but I'm wondering if any of this garbage will happen post update... Anyone have any issues like stated in the article?
http://www.tmonews.com/2014/12/t-mo...e-malware-installing-apps-without-permission/
Please note that I am not rooted yet, had an issue with my accelerometer with my first Edge and I'm giving this a few weeks to see if anything crops up first.
My girl got this is morning. Nothing on my phone but i havent check either. I always wait until i get the info on xda first.
But with it just being language support i doubt i will be looking for it.
But im also willing to bet its a patch for something and they just dont want to say so.

Hi, feel like an idiot having to ask this but I'd rather be an idiot with a working phone than one without. Anyhow when you say update via ODIN, which slot am I putting it in to? Or maybe the better question is where in the CF Rooting process does the zip or rather md5 file get flashed?

That would be step -1 (step negative 1) right before step 0... You will start by flashing via Odin the newest NK3 firmware... Then continue the whole guide. Any questions, just ask.

They say I can get anything...It could be true...but I feel bad for the forgotten ATT users hoping to one day receive the update but worry not I present you the official Odin flashable tar files to manually update your phone to the newest Android version or in case your phone is bricked.

Thanks for posting this! I was unable to update to Lollipop over Wifi/OTA. AT&T was of no help, the Samsung rep at Best Buy just looked confused when I asked if they could flash my phone (He said he'd download the latest version, but didn't think 5.x would be available yet). I had ever used Odin before, but installation was easy, and my phone seems much faster. Battery life seems a little worse tho.

Where did you get files to downgrade from? Many people wanting this update and mine was forced. Hate it. My phone is now sluggish, battery life severely affected and the modem is crap. I can't even send a text message from my house. All these issues were non existent before upgrade.

KingsRoot will give you "TEMP" root on 4.4.4 which is the "ONLY" method available at this time.

Are you using the latest USB drives and are you using the "ISSUED" Samsung cable? I know i have gotten several problems with ODIN if either of those are not right.

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.

ADB SD CARD is simply applying the file to the sd card, going to recovery on your phone, select apply update adb sd card and that's it.
I got it to work thank you

I tried installing it from update.zip in ad card , but recovery gave me an error!? Installation aborted, is that something I need to do? Should I rename, what did u guys do? It says permissions denied, and among other stuff
Will this work for the s8+? I still haven't received beta 5

It probably didn't work due to the following:
Wrong model, this will only work for the regular Galaxy S8 G950U T-Mobile version, not the S8 Plus.
Wrong software version, you have to be on G950USQS2BQL to be able to update the Oreo Beta file.
Do these need renamed to "update.zip"
Also thanks!

Unfortunately, you won't get automatic updates. That only applies for people that have been enrolled in the beta program. If you want to keep up with the latest updates, you can use this link:

Thanks for that information. Now before I flash this build. Are there any bugs or glitches that I should be concerned about? If need be how do I go back to stock?

Is there a none wipe version of this update? Kinda don't want to start over.

Well, I mean these are beta versions, getting bugs & glitches is kind of expected lol As of right now in this version, I've experienced very minimal problems. It runs very smooth, it's one of the best beta versions yet. I do experience some lag after a week or so, but that's expected. If for whatever reason, you run into problems, you want to or need to go back to stock, I do have the ODIN files to flash back to stock, if needed. Just let me know.
Unfortunately, as of right now, there's no method or version to avoid your device from being wiped. You can back up your data with smart switch.
