in this build the gestures like the one plus one does work this is NOT the build that is in this post https://www.xda-developers.com/install-android-pie-samsung-experience-10-samsung-galaxy-s9/

How did u get your cricket OEM software on it? I have cricket but I can never seem to get those
If you wanna give P another shot download this and put on a sd card and flash in your recovery of your phone the process will take about 5 or more min don't interrupt the process the phone will factory reset by it self and when it reboots you will have P and should have all your cricket oem on the device like I do

You say we have to have the latest update. Just to verify, I have update ending in ARIC and do not have any pending updates. I have G965U Sprint and I can't seem to get any info about this update nor seeing anyone else with this update so far.

Miss read your response sorry but the firmware I have is legit
I'm sure if it wasn't recovery would reject it and prob not since this update was captured 1 day ago and then I posted
But I was on the latest oreo and then flashed through stock recovery
So I just say make sure your on the latest oreo build

I also meant like my update that I'm on I havent seen anything about it. When I go to the Samsung.firmware.science and then it asks for my current build, mine is not listed.

This firmware was only captured for only 2 firmwares on the s9 side
I looked for the s9+ also but like ya said its not there yet my guess its not on the s9 server yet or could be a different build number but I wouldn't figure
I would look up your build and android 9 is a 2GB size firmware look for the newest by month and date under the firmware you are on now

If your on the latest oreo you should just be able to download the update.zip but it on the root of your sd card
Boot into recovery and select apply update from sd card I did that and work flawlessly

This is a beta update. You would not get a notification via FOTA

Appreciate the help and information guys! I'll probably start on it this week and post an update
Cheers
If u want to get pie, u have to get the ARI6 Odin files which are about 4GB. This is an Oreo file with September Patch. The subsequent update files on SamsungFirmwareScience is all you would need going forward after that to upgrade to Pie and other Patches if u choose to stay on Oreo. You just need to take a leap of faith and downgrade to ARI6 using the Patched Odin by Thomas or so 3.13.3

And I could just sideload the unlocked version of the ARI6 file? Like I wouldn't need carrier specific? According to SamMobile, there's no ARI6 for the Sprint (cdma) it only goes up go ARI4

All Samsung firmware are not carrier specific. Now how your phone works with the firmware is totally unknown to me. Sprint is weird since it's a cdma network. If u were on a GSM network i would have said it's as easy as pie. But to answer your question yes, it's simple as pie to just download Odin and ari6, put your phone in download mode, load the files to Odin (if u want to retain your sprint software use HOME_CSC rather than CSC) then run the update files from there using adb sideload from the recovery menu
