Yes it is but you have to make sure that you stay on BL3. You can't downgrade the BL. He used a thread with the latest Nougat Odin files.

Once back on Nougat, download BK package disabler and freeze both software updates (just use the search feature and type in updates) so that it don't auto update on you.

You have version 1, version 2 and version 3. If your on oreo then you are on version 3. Search which firmware version 3 runs on and you'll get your answer, or you can use the link i gave you to the last Nougat version 3 that was pushed out by AT&T. I think there were only 2 firmwares on Nougat that ran on version 3.

Yes it's super easy. Using Odin, you can use one of the threads below. BRA8 is a hair older (1 month). BRB2 will have the latest security patch

I've never seen a BRA9 for the AT&T Note 8, upgrade or Odin. We went from BRA8 to BRB2

Oh ok, maybe it’s just the files he use to get root .
Do you know if SamFail V3 root works on 3BRB2 ?.

Do the MM update by downloading from Sammobile.
Don't screw around with OTA updates. . . . too much chance of an error.

It seems your phone is a little different due to the bootloader.
I did find this though:

Do a little research on the web and on this board.
You'll probably find some good answers.

Yes, I have tried that ROM & its Odin flashable
Can i flash this on the SM-S550TL?
Has anyone tried this on the SM-G550T1 model?
Will someone reupload the file for a better download link? Sammobile takes way to long
Really, the SM-G550T1/2 really needs Nougat at this point since it is only limited to the India model... I really like the new UI elements. Sad.
Or if someone is really good enough to make a Android Oreo Go edition custom ROM (since it really helps on storage) or a Lineage OS custom ROM. I wish i can make one but I'm not good at making ROM's.:crying:
Edit: I was thinking of installing that same rom OP described. Will it work for my T1? Someone needs to test this before i can proceed. Problem is i don't know if it will brick my phone because it was made for Indian devices running that version.
The current device i have is as follows:
Galaxy On5 SM-G550T1 (T-Mobile)
Currently on 6.0.1
Rooted with Magisk
OEM Unlock set to ON
TWRP
I dont know also, but do i need to have my phone network "unlocked" to switch official samsung roms? I prefer sticking to T-Mobile...
Edit #2: Tried installing that firmware file, it wont let me because of a locked bootloader. I used Odin (latest) but all i get is a "SECURE CHECK FAIL: (BOOTLOADER)" error.
^tl;dr, it wont install on a US variant.

You can use sam frimware tool to download the ROM with no bandwidth cap issues. Search XDA for the tool

CF-Auto-Root for Galaxy S8 Plus running Android 8.0 Oreo

Is there any CF-Auto-Root package for Galaxy S8+ running Android 8.0 Oreo?
Any link to download? and tutorial/guide to install?

Yup i rooted on S8+ it works for both. Anyway follow the step by step video on top of the page. It's way easier to do so. Remember you'll lose all data so make a backup beforehand and read everything clearly in the link. The video is a huge help.

No CF-Auto-Root for US Snapdragon S8/S8+, unfortunately. No SamFail root either for official Oreo on them; for Oreo, as far as I see, there is no combo/factory firmware yet (as of 02APR2018)--only carrier-specific Oreo firmware. I believe that means that SamFail root is not possible for official Oreo S8/S8+ US Snapdragon firmware. As such, I stick to Nougat until (if ever) there is a relevant Oreo factory firmware.

no there is a version of cf for us but we need unlocked bl to flash it

Settings about phone. Software info. What's the base band and such...
From my understanding they can't patch the root method or at least have not. Yet. You should be good to go

If you have updated to Android 8.0 you CANNOT downgrade to 7.0. The bootloader is updated.

You can't root 8.0. Downgrade with your bootloader revision is possible with the same revision combination firmware. But it's a rest rom. So only option is to immediately flash part cyborg
Just for downgrading to 7.0 stock no. You cannot

how to go from pie beta 1 to pie beta 2?

I currently have drl5 installed from the closed beta. How do I update to the latest beta? Is there a guide somewhere? I googled it but I only found guides on installing the closed beta, which I currently have. Thanks. I have an s8+ snapdragon on Sprint.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=78761493&postcount=13
Flash update.zip (beta 1), then flash second zip (beta 2). That's all.

his write up was incorrect for a sprint phone. you need to flash back to crl1 and then run the update to drl7. his was linking to an exynos phone. would cause pretty serious issues. i with there was an update for drl7 at this poing. been over a month and no new version.

you will need to flash back to crl1 or potentially crk1. once your at crl1 then you can update to drl7. there is no update from drl5 to drl7.

Hello ..... I have the same situation, snapdragon S8+ Tmobile and I'm currently on beta 1 DRL5, I know that I have to flash back to CRL1 or CRK1 but I don't know how, can you help me?? Link or tutorial please??
Thanks a lot in advance!!
Same issue. I can't for the life of me figure out how to go from DRL7 to the official Pie update. I feel like I'm screwed. I updated with an update.zip on my SD card because Odin wouldn't work. I tried to virtualize Windows 7 but that didn't work. I can find a Windows 7 computer to try it out on again, but I feel like it'll just fail.
