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

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

 

[MatthewPresley]

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.

What ugly bug are you talking about in CRB8?

 

[MatthewPresley]

Everytime I was on a call, if I closed out of the call window to open another app, I could not pull down the notification shade. This often prevented me form changing call settings like turning on/off speaker phone, etc. Not really that ugly, but enough for me to roll back and try CRB9.

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.

Doh! Thanks.

That only works with CRB8. CRB9 is not certified.

You have to use Odin to go back down to BRB1 and sideload CRB9, or Odin BQL1 and sideload CRB8.

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.

I use samfirm to download my Odin files, much quicker. Link is here https://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=3803841
Type in your model and region(CSC) ex. TMB with auto and download

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.

Well, I have tried model and CSC with auto and it didn't find anything. I tried putting in the manual options with no luck, either.

Any of them, I have AT&T as well, so I just downloaded TMB but any should work fine.
