    Post [OREO] Oreo Beta on ANY USA/Snapdragon S8/+! [04/10/18]

    I had a similar problem for a long time. Instead of error, my phone would always say it was up to date. I was stuck on CRE9 for a long while...I could have side loaded CRG3 like others, but there was a reason I didn't. Anyway, I finally called ATT and they pushed the OTA to my phone. That day I...

    With this update, will we still be on the official update path? In the future, without using sideloads...would we still receive OTA's? Thanks in advance.

    Don't know if you are referring to a sideload update or official OTA...But I received the official ATT SCRH1 OTA today. So...it's available.

    Are you certain sideloading OTAs on ATT doesnt wipe personal data? I have PM's with/from you explaining how to avoid the wipe script by rebooting at a certain point in the process. Can others with ATT confirm that Sideloading OTAs on ATT retains personal data?

    Someone please refresh my memory. When sideloading OTA's...I know personal data/storage gets wiped (I'm on ATT firmware)...but do the installed apps and their data get removed as well? I'm nowhere near wifi and wouldn't want to use a lot of data restoring backed up apps and their data. Thanks in...

    That image posted to imgur was a scroll capture from my s8+. When you tap on the link...it opens to imgur, and appears blank...BUT if you tap the screen again...the image shows up. Dont know why...only can speculate it's because it's a scroll capture.

    Thanks. Any idea why there are carrier specific firmwares...if they are all the same...and carrier apps/bloat is exclusive to the sim? Why not just one firmware? Something to do with carrier specific features or access?

    I was trying for CRE9. I had seen that firmware posted in links on XDA...but I was wanting to try Sammobile or Updato for myself, as a first time. There is where I got confused, because I didn't see ATT specific firmware. ---------- Post added at 03:42 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:36...

    When downloading from Sammobile or Updato, is CCT and/or UNKNOWN the same as ATT?!? Most often, if not always, there is no ATT version. From my research...CCT(Comcast)=ATT. I'm not 100%, hopefully someone more knowledgeable can answer this for me. Thanks in advance.

    Okay, great. Thanks for the info. But you're certain using Home_CSC doesn't auto-wipe the ATT model S8+. I'm pretty sure ATT was the only one that did so.

    Thanks. I will, if I must. But, I'm on the road...away from my PC. Was hoping to sideload via update zips and possibly maintain data...ODIN with ATT would auto-wipe, correct? Also, are the CRE9 ODIN files the controversial ones that people were questioning from possible shady sites or China?

    How does someone get the firmware from the servers? You said CRE9 has been on the ATT server for 2 days...how can I get that update zip myself, instead of waiting on someone to post it? Better question, for the people that do post update zips...where are they getting them from? Thanks in advance.

    Unless, of course, you're provider is AT&T...in which case, data WILL get wiped regardless of flashing Home_CSC or CSC. Supposedly you can avoid the auto-wipe by rebooting just before a certain script is ran...but I never had much luck in doing so...but it has worked for others.
