Galaxy S9 & S9+ Android Pie update. - Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers

My friend recieved the Android Pie on his S9(SM-G960F) about a week ago. Since then I'm checking for updates every day and still no Android Pie Update on my S9+(SM-G965F). Both phones are Unlocked. Country: Cyprus/Europe.

Just flash the pie update via odin

If i do this with odin i will lose all my data right??

No it won't erase your data. Im using pie on 960u1

If you use the home CSC file, it won't wipe. If you use the plain CSC file, it will.

Nice one. Which version of the S9+ do you have? and which firmware were you running?

I have a korean S9+ that i got from my father in law, when i was in Korea last summer. Im running G965NKSU1CRLL/G965NOKR1CRLL/G965NKOU1CRLK.
First impression of PIE , is stabile atm. But need to run it for abit more. Visually i like that they have moved the clock to top left corner
And that there is more settings for the navbar, now i can almost hide it and only use swipe gestures at the bottom of the screen.
I checked my co-workers S9+ norwegian non carrier bound phone today, he also got the PIE OTA update today.

I'm on 6.0.1 - wouldn't it have issues with my phone being a G930AZ? I thought the different networks would be a problem.

So, anyone flash this yet? I'm tempted but won't be back home to a PC (in case something goes wrong) until tonight. Just looking for some general impressions.
So, I did this. Pretty impressed with the overall device feel now, SE9 is nice . No hang ups other thank it took a long friggin' time, also remember this will WIPE all the data, so make sure to do a backup prior to. The initial/first phone setup is very iPhone-ish, imo.

Be warned; this update is ONLY for SM-G930A firmware - it has a second-stage updater that blocks all other versions (including SM-G930T, which I myself tried). In other words, it is a carrier-specific update, folks.

You could try flashing G930A firmware in Odin and updating that way.

If it weren't for this being a daily driver, I'd consider it. However, because it is, that's not an option. So I'll have to wait for either a neutral version or one that will work with the SM-G930T.
I am currently testing it out, I was on the latest U firmware and downloaded the latest ATT firmware, will update on how it goes

It's not misleading, the firmware can be flashed on either version and it is official firmware. Further no one has posted the full version (includes HOME_CSC and USERDATA) for download until now. What's your beef?

The ARF5 Isn't official, at least not yet. If you use apps like SamsungPay that rely on safety net, you're best off not to use that version, at least until or if it becomes official.

Gotcha!
Also, in the OP you could help clarify what the other guy was talking about by stating that this firmware is US Xfinty which is a Verizon MVNO. I think thats what the other guy may have meant. When you look at the OP quickly you do get the impression that this may be for the unlocked U1. But eitherway... Thanks for posting it! Much better than trying to download from SamMobile!!!

The reason I say it *was* misleading is because the title made it seem like there was a U1 version of the 2ARF2 release. While I'm not in that boat, there are people looking to swap carriers, which requires flashing to the U1 to remove carrier settings, before then flashing to a new carrier.

Samsung Pay does usually work on the unoffial / pre-release releases. Samsung Pay only relies on Knox.

Hopefully Samsung is quick to release the carrier beta like they were with the s7 edge I used to have.
But coming from a pixel 2 xl with 10 to the note 10 I'm not actually missing anything.
Vzw note 10 plus flashed u1
I flashed the u1 from samsung firmware and it allowed me to join the beta.

What steps did you do to flash it and what files did you use? I tried flashing my phone with u1 and wasn't successful. It's been a number of years since I've flashed so perhaps I forgot something.

I am on T-mobile found the latest U1 firmware flashed it with Odin 3.13 patched and then registered through the Samsung members app for the beta. The banner for the beta showed up once I was on U1 firmware.

Huh no issues so far but I flashed CSC not the home CSC when I flashed to the unbranded firmware.
Three major issues so far all pertaining to the new nav system:
1. Set navigation system to single bar, now navigation gesture crashes settings app whenever I go and try to change the gesture.
2. Home screen freezes and crashes all the time when trying to use the gesture bar.
3. Animations are very laggy and severe frame drops when using the gesture bar.
