I think I'll upgrade to this version when it arrives.
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

Yes.
I'm leaning toward the same thinking.

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

Oreo final release might be close.

Spotted this on the Samsung fota cloud test server. It's version CQLJ which means it's not a beta version.
new fw is BRA+0-9/A-F (when build in 2018)

Yes, for sure, I forgot about 7.1
Major OS 7.0 for S8 - A, 7.1 - B (skip for S8), 8.0 - C
R - 2018 year
A - January
0-9/A-F - build number
Knowing samsung if its released to some european country today it'll hit america in around a month, and canada in 2 months, then a month later the s9 is released... thanks samsung.
I wish Samsung would fix their update scheme. There is Android Fragmentation, then there is Android Samsung Fragmentation. Why is the Galaxy Tab A 2016 getting the January security update and my unlocked S8 is on November...
Also the latest Oreo Beta is on December, I know security updates are only small but as has been seen on the January update with the Pixels they can cause issues, so I would be sceptical to an Oreo release even being up to date.
Samsung needs to stop carriers turning their phones into bloated messes. My phone, before I debranded, came with 17 applications installed by the carrier, none of which I have any use for or have used!
It really isn't that hard to get this right, and it's what we are all asking for! Simplification and transparency, not waiting and waiting and waiting! Some customers with Note 8's in the UK are still on August Security Patch. That's what £800 gets you, negligence.

It's only a reference site so nothing to download from it.

I just downloaded it from here (Snapdragon only!) : https://samsung.firmware.science/download?url=48927/1488/SS-G950USQS2BQL1-to-U2CRA1-UP

Do you know if the version.xml (not version.test.XML) update in real-time? Thats mean, would I be able to see a new firmware when Samsung pushes a new update to my device?
I see they have jumped back to CRAB version from CRAL in the test server. Wonder if that is in prep for the release to beta testers.

Beck up to CRAN now. Lol
And now to CRAP. It must be the final

Just spotted that. I hope CRAP isn't a bad sign. Lol.
Whole set of Bixby got updated. Is that a sign to prepare the phone for an Oreo upgrade?

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..
More info: SamMobile
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 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.

I live in Germany have a DBT S9+ and I always check this website. This firmware is there since ysterday. Maybe it's Pie because all current Builds have a B in the firmware for example BRJ3 is the current one! And here CRJ9.
This is Android Pie, but i cant download this firmware. I dont know how. What app you use to download from this site?

You can't. All you can do is check the latest firmware version on sammy server. Pie in the sky, literally.
The 'pie' firmwares have been on the list there for quite a long time btw.
There are seven previous test Pie versions in the list.
Could any of the testers enlighten us please ?
I am waiting for this since the SD beta came out. Now lets just hope that we will have something to download and flash soon.
Be patience, few more days for you guys, not so long. and sorry, we cannot provide you guys pie for the exynos variant.

No if you love in a European country like Germany, France, the UK and some more there's a really high big and intense chance that you will be able to participate in the official beta program.
A new firmware is under testing. New Pie Build. No number at the end so maybe a final firmware close to the one we will see for the beta program?

This drive me crazy, i'm really exited to try new Samsung Experience, even i know that new ui is a mess.
So guys it's almost November. Last year the 2nd November Samsung announced the Beta Program which was a Thursday. So let's hope that Samsung is announcing the start for the beta program tomorrow on the 1st November.
Fingers crossed!
I don't think it will happen tomorrow. The last two years there were always a few Z-firmwares (beta firmwares) on the server before the beta was announced, but at the moment there is nothing to see for the Exynos variant.
And also the last years, the beta FAQs were released a few days before, which is not the case so far.

It is true.. it's wifi certification test on android pie.. it's going to be the first Samsung phone receiving 3 major OS updates
Certificates were revoked. Likely somebody playing a prank or some other screwups. No Pie for S7/S7E- least of all for us in the US (we get screwed either way).

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
