Why am I not getting it? I checked for system updates and it says I am already up to date, but everyone is saying Oreo is out now.
I have crc5. So, somehow I have an even newer version. I would guess we need to go back to the last Verizon Android v7 to have the OTA work.
Good to know. Guess I need to find a firmware download for it and flash it manually with odin

I could not find an OTA to go from CRA5 to the official CRB9. However, above is a link to the official firmware from verizon.

Hey guys, just wanted to drop a quick and dirty guide on how to get the beta working on your locked AT&T device. I am by no means a developer or an expert, but I've been flashing ROMs and modding my devices for close to 8 years. I take no responsibility if you brick your device or cannot get it to work, feel free to research yourself or wait until the beta ends and Samsung releases Android 9/One UI next year.
Okay, so the first thing I had to do was install the U1 firmware. I used this thread for most of the steps.
The links to the modded version of Odin in the 2nd post of that thread were dead, so I downloaded it from this post.
I downloaded the 3ARJ2 U1 firmware here.
Following the directions in that U1 thread, I unzipped the firmware file and flashed it in Odin. Elsewhere in the thread, it was recommended to choose the CSC file that starts with "CSC_OMC_OYM..." instead of the "HOME_CSC" file.
After it boots up, you may be able to join the beta using the Samsung+ app, I'd recommend downloading this beta version.
For whatever reason, the beta registration banner showed up for me but pressing the register button never did anything. I found many reports of that problem and tried everything for about two hours to make it work before moving on and downloading the OTA beta file below and installing it through recovery.
I downloaded the OTA file for the U1 firmware from this post.
ARJ2 to ZRK9 (Beta 1)
Download link:
https://mega.nz/#!sjRnHK4S!o2sJ49Stk2GzUFhFXX1Hed8hSOsAVkfaBPVRWY989QM
After installing the beta zip, I performed a factory reset, just in case.
Now I'm happily using the beta on my locked AT&T s9. I did see an option for VoLTE, but I had to disable it due to being on a FirstNet SIM, so I can't speak to how well that feature works. I haven't had much time to play around with the beta yet, because I wanted to get this posted up before I went to work. Hope this helps someone else! Thanks to all who helped me in the various threads, I really appreciate the XDA community!
P.S. This does not trip Knox.
Thank you I'll give it a shot
You're on a FirstNet sim too huh? Me as well. Gonna give this a shot.
I'll be curious how your reception is on the beta. Mine doesn't seem as good as before. I checked the APN settings, and it's still showing that it's using FirstNet profiles.

Ended up not being able to go from BRJ5 because I can't get the firmware in the correct order. Did doing this trip your Knox? Not a huge deal for me, as I am the IT in my government agency, but a big deal for device compliance in Intune.
I was on 3BRJ5 before flashing the U1 firmware. It did not trip Knox.
So does WiFi calling and VoLTE work? Can anyone confirm

Ultimately those features aren't present on the U1 firmwares for Att.
I have a Verizon device and tried installing the One UI beta on my S9+ and got some error messages and wondered if anyone could point me in the right direction
E: folder is wrong
Update package verification took 0.1s (result 1)
E: signature verification failed

Sorry, but pretty sure this is S9 only. There is another thread for S9+
That's why it keeps falling
Appreciate the patched Odin. I also have the locked SM-G960U and was unsuccessful in flashing U1.

The reason its failing is OneUI beta isn't designed for Version G965U. You will need to got to G965U1 to load the beta.

The 256? error
Finally made the jump as I was too sick of waiting on samsung/att to give me the update! Thanks for the great instructions and links that actually work. Beta 3 to me feels better than using Oreo. The only weird little bug I have noticed is the night mode likes to turn itself off randomly. It's been working great as my daily driver for a almost a week now without issue.
Easy way
Found a easy way
Flash the G960U1 in the post
Completely Boot then
Then flash this via odin
https://drive.google.com/file/d/12zsai6UKCeadt0L1D765vVnksqPTi0pp/view?usp=drivesdk
Full 9.0
Unzip
Follow the flashing step
But add the user data
And boom!!
Works on att US model tested on my own

Where is the userdata files for the FW
Ok, so I have the AT&T variant SM-N960U and I saw where the unlocked models are able to register for the beta program through Members,
so I flashed the unlocked SM-N960U1 firmware to my device with the regular CSC and full factory reset.
Worked great, everything works as expected and I see the banner in Members for the beta.
Afterwards, I found out the beta is closed, so I can't register. I did a little digging and found where to download the Beta 1, 2, and 3 to sideload.
However, I'm at a point now where whenever I try to update via SD card or a sideload, the device tells me the zip "has unexpected files" and says "Status 7" "Installation aborted #1"
After searching through the forums, I've found that apparently the Status 7 error is when there is a signature mismatch due to rooting or some other form of status change, therefore OTA's won't take.
Is this because I flashed the unlocked firmware, even though it was official? How can I fix this and HOPEFULLY get Android 10?
I'm still trying to get it in my U1 s9. Unfortunately, noone got beta 1 or 2. So I can't update as of yet.
You are fine. Nothings wrong with your device. Unless you get weird bugs.
I think its either you updated to the latest u1 but you have to be on the version before it which ends in "j1"
Or
The files you downloaded is corrupt so you would have to redownload them. Make sure the md5 checks out.

I'm on CSJ1, trying to update with ZSL2. MD5 checks out for both downloads I've found. Even renamed them to "update.zip", not "update.zip.zip"

Then i dont know what to tell you. It should work.
It worked for me converting U to U1. And so did alot of people
May be you start from the beginning.
Check if the all the files download are not corrupt. Even the u1 firmware and the patched odin.
Check all the files and their md5. Match it.
Anyone installed this yet? Just want to know if it's Google play verified ?
You should check the one that shows gb, not mb.
There is a 4.3gb one. Just want to see if anyone else has done it and if it's verified
It might be verified, but it won't install. I had a play last weekend and spent a few hours trying different things
FW Information provided in this app is misleading. It's been already told that this fw is for 675 region (India i guess). If you have c432 there is no way to install it. Modded hisuite, emui flasher won't work.
As per title, or do you have to downgrade to version 10.
Thank you.
The guy in the video below is doing it from EMUI11, but it is in Chinese or Japanese ......

Thanks for that, at least it's 'in the works' unless what he's doing in Chinese and at super fast speed is knocking it back to EMU 10 first?
Anybody speak Chinese
Extremely fast! Does anyone know English?

video has english subs , on which you probabnly can workout howto
I can confirm it works. Just installed GMS on my M40pro+ following the exact instructions in the video. Of course, the speed was set to 0.25, but it is very easy and intuitive.
I'm on Emui 11 and just tried to roll back using the tutorial. Unfortunately HiSuite_10.0.0.510_OVE doesn't seem to be compatible; Trying to connect the phone to hisuite will try to install hisuite.apk on my phone.
However, I get a message that this apk version is incompatible with the phone. Hisuite on my phone will not run as I can't grant location privileges.
Trying to install the latest hisuite.apk doesn't work either. I still get prompted to install the version that comes with the pc version of my hisuite.
Any solutions or alternative ways for me to get version ELS-LGRP4-OVS 10.1.0.131 on my phone?
Edit: I just installed the latest Hisuite versions, this gives me the option to rollback to Emui10 v176. I'll try further from there!
Edit2: I was able to roll back
Installed the older Hisuite version and was able to roll back to 131
googlefier went well too, now waiting for OTA updates
My phone updated automatically to m11 and my Google stuff still working.
Hello,
I am planning to install GMS on my P40 Pro. I am currently on EMUI 11.
The thing that worries me is the problem with notifications after GMS installation.
Which notifications I will not receive and is there any way to fix that?

Hello mate.
im in the same scenario, im trying to downgrade but i cant, i just installed latest hisuite version but it doesnt gives me the option to rollback ¿where do you find this option?
Thanks
Edit: found it!, just click on "system update"and theres the option to downgrade, on hisuite v.11.0.0.500 ove, thanks for the info bozdyg
Someone in Asia has found a definitive solution for installing gms, with all notification working, and device certified but well they're pricy enough, and looks like they won't share their method anytime soon. But based on evidence, I guess their method is using another microG like services, and then modify Google service apk

Are you trying to rollback your EMUI version before running googlifier?

On my computer yes. But i can't get IT work with this video tutorial.
Evening all.
Bit confused on this thread as topic is getting gms on emui11 but half the people are talking about downgrading to 10 to then do it.. Is the vid of the Asian guy doing it def from emui11? I'm currently running 11.0.0.168 with no attempts yet at modifying anything to get gms and wanted to give this method a whirl. Anyone else have luck with it on 11.168?
Cheers yall

I also tried this video with the Chinese guy, I put English subs and lower the speed and here I come. but it didn't work.
I have Huawei P40 Pro (ELS-NX9), I also got stuck in the early stages. When I suppose to restore the old back up I also don't have "Restore from internal storage". I saw it's possible to restore with Hisuite when the phone is connected to the computer so I tried that but this particular restore file from the package you download but the hisuite can't find it, so it's either the IMUI version I have (11.0.0.151) or it's because I have P40 Pro... I was hoping to get it done without downgrade the phone, sadly I guess there is no choice...

In the same boat. I'm on a P40 Pro Plus ELS-N39 Firmware EMI 11.0.0.168(C636E2R1P3).
Willing to give it a try. What could go wrong right? It's got to be safer than the downgrade route. Wish there was a simpler solution or the ban on Google lifted so Huawei can resolve this properly and officially some how. I'm using Gspace which is fine for most things but having all the bells and whistles of google play etc. would be worth the attempt imo.
