Oreo 8.0 Beta for S8 ADB sideload

[Reechings]

alright here is newest beta (U2ZQKM)

https://files.fm/u/46nzxpg2

this updates your bootloader, so you cannot roll back if you do this

Did you go to KM? I'm on KL but charging is a little wonky and so is Substratum.

Yep! Charging is all fixed. No issues with substratum either as far as I can tell.

To confirm, If one is already on AQJC, all we need to do is flash U2ZQKM?

So no problem building and applying themes? On KL it was really flakey for me.

Think I'm going to stay on AQKH for now until some more bootloader 2 stuff comes out.

I guess if you're on older att firmware it's handy. Nothing bootloader 2 or unlocked.

How is that build working out for you?

Working awesome, only issue I have found is that you can't install files directly from solid explorer and some other apps but can get around this using Samsung My Files or Chrome or some other ones. Pretty sure same issue is happening on lastest beta but then you also have issues with substratum which this build doesnt have.

AND you're not stuck on bootloader 2.

Yeah the install issue is normal to all apps on Oreo. Might give it a go!

Thank you!

The issue is that you can't choose to allow the app like you're supposed to be able to do.

What do you mean you are not stuck on Bootloader 2?

If you flash KM you can't change to any other build except one other nougat one and can't access any other Oreo builds. On KH that I'm using you can go to any build you want.

If you flash any nougat bootloader 2 firmwares, you're stuck on bl 2. Supposedly that isn't the case on that Oreo beta but I doubt that.

As soon as you see that 2 in front of the Z you're looking at bootloader 2.

I'd be tempted to join you but I use substratum too much. Good to hear that it's running well.
