Note 8 Oreo update changelog
- Thread starter VincentThacker
- Start date
I have been using Oreo 8.0 on my S8+ and now just to see what changes with 8.0 on my Note 8 .
Unfortunately not. This is for SM-N950F Exynos.
(But it should be very much the same)

The only way would be to use *#272*IMEI# and select XEF. Your device will reset.
When the device boots again (switched to XEF), there will be screen when it says "installing smart switch". There will be a prompt informing you that your SIM does not match XEF region. Select the first option to skip.
Once booted into XEF, download the OTA and install as usual.
When the device boots into Oreo, reset it.
At the same prompt again, select the second option this time. Your device will revert to its original CSC (according to your SIM).
This is lengthy but that was how I did it. *#272*IMEI# can no longer be used to switch back to your original CSC once it's in XEF.

Which part didn't work? Were you unable to dial *#272*IMEI# in the first place? If that's the case, you'll have to wait for your region to receive the update, unfortunately. It should arrive soon.
Correct, the dial part didn't work.
Tried resetting the phone and flash XEF without som to, nothing over OTA...

That's strange. After changing my CSC to XEF, I was able to receive the OTA immediately. Maybe try checking again?
Anyone still having Issues with EDGE lighting like whatsapp and other fews apps doesnt show edge notification while on AOD ?
If I dial *#272*imei# the menu shows, but no xef option available

Yours is a different Multi CSC. I would suggest you either download and flash XEF firmware directly or download NZC firmware. Flash and boot. Reset the phone. Then Flash Europe Multi CSC and get access to many countries CSC.If I dial *#272*imei# the menu shows, but no xef option available
Your CSC is not part of OXM multi-CSC group. You'll have to wait for the update to be released in your region.If I dial *#272*imei# the menu shows, but no xef option available
I advice that you do not change your multi-CSC group (by flashing a CSC from OXM). The default CSC in OXM is THL (Thailand), which does not allow switching away. Doing so will likely result in you getting stuck on THL. (Happened to my S7 edge when flashing Nougat back in 2017.)

The changelogs should be pretty much identical for both versions.
