Thats because the 920C isn't a USA branded device. International only.. Works great with US carriers...

So what firmware can I use to keep from bricking it?

I have the N920CXXU2B2BA model

are you looking to stay stock or what are your plans...

I wanna root and check out the s8+ rom if there is one. I like to tinker and see which roms I like the best.

You have plenty of choices there. I run a S8 port on my 920c they all run great when you look at the roms the dev will mention different models his rom will work on if you see 920c your good to go. You just need to be on a Marshmellow base to run the nougat s8 ports..

There is a app on playstore called phone info for samsung download it and it will give you your csc info among other info thats good to have..

Would it make a difference if I had the Rent A Center version

If their bootloaders are still unlocked there shouldnt be a problem maybe someone out there has one that will chime in.....

It says it's unlocked
Sent from my SM-N920C using Tapatalk

I would say the bootloaders on them are still unlocked and if they are once you install twrp recovery make a backup most important. Im hoping that someone that has a rac 920c will chime in so we know for sure...lol

I hope so. I've never had a problem rooting a phone from them so I hope this is just as easy to root.

Oreo beta/Gear compatibility?

Anyone in here updated to the Oreo update that leaked, able to connect to their gear devices?
I tried the update. But my gear watch won't connect via the gear app. I'm assuming because it's unfinished software.
Switched back to nougat for the time being.

Having the same problem on my Note 8 on that Oreo leak. Hopefully someone has an answer?

You're supposed to sideload the plug-in for he device

The Oreo builds are leaked and require you to be on specific builds of Android. I recommend that you do some research yourself and if you find yourself overwhelmed then you should hold off.

This was a while ago. I sideloaded the gear app and it fixed my connecting issue. But I eventually came back to nougat anyway for various bugs that I didn't want to deal with. I didn't use sammobile for anything. I used the links in another xda post. I believe it was the one about flashing carrier specific firmware. I used Odin to get back. Now everything has been as it was before I tried Oreo. It's been about a month, maybe longer since I've done all of this. I'm waiting g patiently for the official Oreo update. I hope that answers your question. If not, just ask.

Is that the Oreo zip? No of course not. Don't post random links if they cannot help me.
The link you and the other guy posted just states someone might have Oreo on exynos. Does not help my post whatsoever.
Sent from my Samsung Galaxy Note8 using XDA Labs

I think it will be out very soon, Samsung have really been pushing latest updates and security patches for note 8 since January for all models both unlocked/unbranded and carrier versions and it would be a strange thing to release the S9 with Oreo without the Note 8 getting it either before or at the same time

Indeed...
In other words: there's NO LEAK of Oreo yet for Exynos (otherwise it would have been posted already!)...

The SM-T580 as well, but German firmware only.
https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/galaxy-tab-a/SM-T580/DBT/download/T580XXU4CRJ9/241590/
Anyone on Bootloader 2 or 3, these fimwares will update it to 4. If you end up not liking 8.1 Oreo on the tablet and want to go back to your native country's stock 7.0 firmware, you might not be able to, so check before hand, or wait for custom firmware.

If you decompress the firmware and install it via twrp you can avoid that

Why would you want to do that?
I tried doing that and I got stuck in a bootloop nightmare. The binaries didnt match.

As far as I know, I don't think it's possible bc the binaries dont match anymore. I tried to do that and it was a disaster.
I'm running DrKetans rom, its debloated. The battery life is similar to android 8.1 in my opinion.
But maybe someone else can chime in and give you different advice.

it's all on the boot loader version, you will not be able to downgrade to Oreo 8.1 but you should be able to downgrade to Android 9! But first you need to check your bootloader number and match that with downgrade firmware! it's the fifth number from right if your on bootloader 5 then you will not be able to downgrade as there is no Android 9 on fifth bootloader! But if your bootloader is 4 then you can downgrade with odin! See below as example!

yes, you can use LightROM by yash92duster
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-9/development/teamexykings-lightrom-t3838087
i am currently using this rom with "non modded" settings and it works great.. i was getting random reboots in "modded" settings.. the option is selectable in aroma installer.
hope this answers your question, have a great day
