Exclusive: Samsung stops Galaxy S8 Android 8.0 release, new version being developed

Samsung started rolling out the much-awaited Android 8.0 Oreo update for the Galaxy S8 and the Galaxy S8+ last week. As promised, the update was first released to members of the beta program before it was rolled out to non-beta devices earlier this week. The update had only been sent out in a handful of markets but in a rather unexpected turn of events, Samsung has stopped the Galaxy S8 Android 8.0 Oreo update release..

Someone must have pointed out CRAP to them.

yep, that was rather weird, almost felt like the finger to the community or users,
not sure what is all behind this rather unconventional name though

Well, it looks like anyone on Carrier Branded firmware (me) is in for a long wait, if a problem has been found in the firmware, it will set everyone back.

What abot people who have already updated to oreo? (Like me)
I've used the method with odin (from aql5 to crap and flashed update.zip on sd). Mine it's fine, i've only some lags in volume panel

According to the post, it shouldn't be a problem for anyone who has already updated. It would be ideal if they let people know why though.

Well, ive already flashed trough Odin the Spain PHE version into my Portuguese phone using the tutorial to make the necessaries workarounds.
So far im very happy.
The phone is very stable and much more fluid and quick than Nougat
Nothing to complaint so far!!!

Now I know the reason why it is lablled as CRAP.

They probably want to prevent rolling back to nougat bootloader for those that use that loophole to root and not have to wait 7 days for oem lock to appear.

Hi everyone
Today I flashed the firmware crap but now I can not install the recovery how to downgrade

it's a shame to samsung, we consumers pay a fortune for a mobile phone, and we have to wait 2 years for an OS update
i missing my nexus´s my father phone (nexus 5x ) have oreo 8.1 ...unbelievable lolllllol

The last 5 characters of the firmware version are: numeric for BL version, alphanumeric for the phone’s Samsung Experience/major update (C means third major update to the initial release of the phone), alphanumeric for the year (Q is 2017, R is 2018), alphanumeric for month (technically alphabetic, A to K), and alphanumeric for non-test-build of the given month.
So 1CRAP is: bootloader v1, third major release, 2018, january, P release.

Apparently the only reason they stoped the rollout of oreo was that it was causing some devices to reboot. That's what I've been reading has anyone had that problem?

I think too. The hole firmware is really laggy...man samsung never will have good softwaredevelopers...its not that bad at all...but many others do better jobs ins engineering....

I don't understand why some people say Oreo is better. CRAP its better. Oreo is laggy as ****. I will have to go back to N if they do not fix it fast.

Although means that I'll lose twrp and GSI access.

The Samsung A30 has been receiving One ui 2.0 in Asia as from 3 days ago. I hope we are next.
Samsung is not following their schedule. They released one ui 2.0 for Galaxy M20 last year way before several flagships and mid tier phones got it.
They also have released one ui 2.0 for the A30 before the A80,A70,A40 blah blah.
I really hope that they port it to the A20 and provide it before May.

A30 have got it for Hong Kong, India and Kenya so far.

I have added a poll.

I will upgrade as soon as it is available. I'm sure that we will manage to have working TWRP and therefore working GSIs, after all unlocking the bootloader is what really matters.
I'm not sure how this works but vendor partition may be updated with blobs that have better compatibility for Android 10, which will be great if we want to go to Android R

I waited for so long.
I was beginning to give up.
Problem is, my country is usually the last to get updates. I might get it earliest in September or early Novembers. :crying: or maybe not at all.

What's yours?

Omg, it's already here ! I've been waiting since October ???
if you are as excited as me to get it, you can download the firmware that have the OneUi 2 (change the CSC) and flash it through Odin (no rooting required, or warranty voided)
THANK YOU for this helpful thread

Yeah, I'm in no rush. I've tried out Android 10 on other devices and liked it, except for the utterly stoooooooopid way they f'd up recents!!!!, although I'm not sure about OneUI 2. Mainly, I still need to be able to use XprivacyLua, thus EdXposed, thus Magisk, so...

I was kinda hoping that there would be some updates to DeX....I enjoy using DeX, but it can sure use some refinements.

Can this firmware be flashed onto a currently XAR wifi only model? Or is it only workable on the Lte model?

tab s6 WIFI android 10!!!
For Samsung Tab s6 WIFI version NOTHING!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Where to download?

Will the Tab S6 support up to Android 12, or should we just expect til' Android 11?

If Samsung keeps his policy of two major updates only, then definitely 11.

Thank you for keeping us impatient types safe. ?

Question, I just got the Tab S6 (t-mo) variant, but have it running on a VzW mvno. I'm pretty sure I won't get any official updates so wanted to know if this update can be applied? I'm concerned because mine shows SM-T867 and this shows 865. I've done adb updates on other devices just not too sure on this since I just got it a few days ago.

Hi
Is anyone able to share the zip file, I have been trying to download on frija for last 2 days. Download always stops halfway through or finishes prematurely.
Thanks
Reset my PC and managed to get it all working.

It hasn't come out yet for the US Unlocked model, AFAIK.
FWIW, if you jump on the One UI 5 Beta (Android 13),it's on the August 2022 security patch.

It's all right here:
How to install the One UI 5 beta on your Samsung phone
The One UI 5 beta is upon us! Here's how you can sign up for the program and be the first to test Samsung's latest OS.
www.androidpolice.com
No data is lost on the upgrade, just as with any stable Android update, but, if you do decide to roll back to Android 12, it will reset your phone.
@vvrrare
If you use any GoodLock modules, some have not been updated for compatibility with One UI 5.

You are posting on XDA, not over Samsung support forum so no one can give you correct answer. Yes, XDA forum can help you to get alternate way to update to A13 if possible but for that you haven't provided minimum required info like CSC/Group of CSC you are having.

That's dirty flashing and it'll leave a mess of a file system and I do not want to do that.
Installing another rom just so it has a different code Avh9 to BVJA ending adds extra stuff and will lead to a issues. There are differences between Avh9 and bvja obviously...
The Samsung servers check whether you have bvja and it'll update. Otherwise it'll leave the phone as is.
If I was rooted I could change the code manually and it'll update it. But I am not rooted.
It's a crappy route to take.

Strangely, MID (IRAQ) has not been updated since AVI7 ..
Since you're on XDA - I'd suggest to do it manually.

You screenshot suggets you have OXM group of CSC so you can update (with Odin) other country firmware like INS/XSG, you will have zero difference from firmware with your country because both are same OXM group of CSC and after flashing said country firmware your CSC still remain same.

It's not exactly dirty flashing.
MID,INS,XSG all are a part of OXM CSC Package. You can flash any of the firmware's inside OXM to bump into any version you want unless it's a Downgrade.

It can lead to an issue (not exactly an issue) to do a factory wipe which is if Samsung changes something internally, and apart from that there's no issues doing it as I've been doing it since .. I dont know. Note 1 maybe. I was here when Dr. Ketan was modding Galaxy S2 i900. Since then we've been doing this dance.

To get ahead of the rest and get it done.
If you're in Dubai, I'm more than happy meet over a coffee and help.
If not, Try Odin route as that's the only way until Samsung decides to add it.
