I downloaded the zip from this link

https://samsung.firmware.science/download?url=48927/1488/SS-G950USQS2BQL1-to-U2CRB9-UP but it is only 1gb in size and does not open with any zip extractor. I think it is bunk so beware

In my opinion, no. I updated to CRB8 as I thought there was a chance it would be the final build (since it was certified), but ran into an ugly bug and updated to CRB9. I'll let you know if I notice anything else, but CRB3 was great for me.

Is there even a noticeable difference between CRB3 and 9 to make it worth downgrading and re-updating?

Thanks for the confirmation. I've dirty flashed to CRB9, installed the quoted verison of Google Play, cleared cache and data on Google Play and Google Play Services, rebooted. The "uncertified" message is not going away... anyone else have issues, tips?

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.

That only works with CRB8. CRB9 is not certified.

Well, that's a massive pain. Where can I find odin compatible with the s8? I know it's not always easy to find latest versions.
Pretty simple, install both updates below on sd card(make sure you label them so that you know which to install first). odin back to bql1, first update via sd to brb1 and then update via sd to crb9.
