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

[henklbr]

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

 

[manfio]

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

 

[Pavezi80]

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

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.

Reflash N using odin

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?

Full working OREO here, didn't notice any of the problems posted here until now.

There probably more to it than what's been told

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.

It's been more than a week and I have zero issues here. Funny to see so much whining.
