Oreo 8.0 Beta for S8 ADB sideload
- Thread starter norbarb
- Start date
Looks like they'll be releasing another security patch before official Oreo then.
Yup, most likely March security patch is on the horizon, whenever official oreo releases.
They started rolling out official Oreo again after halting the rollout. Build numbers are G950FXXU1CRB7 and G955XXU1CRB7. Firmware science is up to CRB6 so I'm hopeful we'll see it in the US on carriers soon
Actually, CRB8 is the latest build and it became certified in the playstore. Here's the link to the latest build.

Download and install the latest Google playstore, clear cache, data, restart phone and open up playstore and it should be certified.

I thought it was probably because I'm the dirty flash master haha ? I don't use any of the pay apps since Royal Bank doesn't support them anyway. Thank you for the info though ?
It doesn't, I don't care about that at all especially since i don't use Android pay or Samsung Pay. I was simply informing others who do.
I use Samsung pay several times a day. Have all through the beta, with an uncertified play store.
So then might just be Android pay? I was reporting to people who do care about the issue, maybe ask them?
Yep, been using Samsung Pay the whole time too, but for those that do want to use Google Pay, I can confirm that following these steps, does in fact give you a certified status with CRB8. Google Pay works on my device as well.
I'm still curious as to why the stock keyboard is missing the GIF feature.

It's a carrier thing. I have CRBB build installed on T-Mobile software and the GIF feature appears but when I switch to AT&T software with the same build, it was no longer available. Which doesn't make sense, I do recall previous oreo builds for AT&T had the GIF feature before.

I noticed you can now change Bluetooth options in developer options and they actually work.
Any CRB8 users having issues pulling down the notification shade when on a call? It's happened on several calls today... Might just jump to CRB9 and see if it's better.
hmmm crb9 zip is corrupted. anyone else seeing this?
