Update: New S9/S9+/N9 W Pie build CRK4.



I will be flashing the US firmware to access the beta this week. As such I won't be able to edit the Updates List (RTF posts aren't editable on anything else than a mobile device). To this end I present the temporary update list. It will be kept updated like the regular one. The FAQ link has been updated with this post

Nice work @CHMultimedia 👍

[mike15]

@CHMultimedia how would I go about flashing the American firmware on my note 9? I have the unlocked Canadian note 9.

You should use these sftwares.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-tab-s/general/tool-samfirm-samsung-firmware-t2988647 (says tool is deprecated but it works better and is ad-free)
https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software/patched-odin-3-13-1-t3762572

Download and unzip all the contents of both archives.

-Phase 1: SamFirm

In Model, you enter SM-N960U .
In Region, enter USC (in fact the CSC doesn't matter).
Check Auto.
Check Decrypt.
Download.
Wait.
Unzip the content of the downloaded archive. You should get 6 files.

-Phase 2: Odin
Backup your phone. I am not held responsible for any data loss. But if done correctly your data will be intact.
Open Odin
Click on BL.
Navigate to where you have unzipped the Phase 1 archive.
Select the file that begins with BL.
Do the same for AP, CP and CSC. DO NOT USE HOME_CSC (will softbrick) or USERDATA (will wipe).
Turn off your N9.
Hold Bixby+Power+Volume down
Press continue at the blue-green warning.
Click on Start in Odin.
Wait.
Enjoy.

Why are you doing Samsung's job? lol.

[CHMultimedia]

Because they aren't doing it lol

[BDTech]

This is true 😂 where'd you find out that the S7 is getting the November update btw?

[CHMultimedia]

New build. ERJE in Europe with Nov patch in development (ERI2 with Oct was just released)

[Samesung]

Fingers crossed. Can't complain like Google does if it bricks or boot loops. Watch out for the battery drain too since it's definitely far from optimized lol
