Does my phone need to be unlocked before I can register for beta. I am currently on tmobile with a phone that is 10 days old. It will be another 30 days before i can unlock with tmobile.

The BETA is only available for N960U1 models. If you have the T-Mobile branded Note 9, then you have a N960U.
A way around that is to use ODIN to flash the N960U1 firmware. Then the beta should be available to you.
I currently have an ATT N960U, running the N960U1 firmware, on T-Mobile and I got the beta notification earlier today and signed up.
Even if you don't get into the beta program. You can still get the beta OTAs from firmware.science. You'll still need to ODIN the U1 firmware, of course.
My Samsung+ is white background and is not offering me the beta. Unlocked device bought straight from Samsung / Verizon SIM.
Edit: Install the beta Samsung+ apk from here https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/samsu...msung-11-2-3-0-android-apk-download/download/ and then it will offer it to you

No. This is NOT for U firmware. And it's not even for ARJ7. You need to use ODIN to flash the ARJ9 build for the U1. N960U1SQU1AEJ9. Then either sign up for the beta through the Samsung+ app, or download the update from firmware.science.
Also it doesn't matter if you're carrier locked or not. And yes U1 will work just fine with ATT, but you'll lose WiFo calling and VoLTE.

I was able to get AT&T wifi calling and volte, messages sync, etc. working in my AT&T N960U on U1 firmware by simply flashing the ATT ARJ7 CSC. The only issue here is that you will lose software updates on the device, they will all need to be downloaded and flashed manually in recovery as an OTA update zip.

Like you said it breaks updates, and it would probably jack up the beta as well.
If I open Spotify (or Amazon music) and start playing music and then put the phone down, when I pick it up and try turning the screen back on it doesn't work, just restarts. Even if I don't press the power button and just turn it on with the lift to wake feature the same thing happens. The Iris scanner light turns on and off a few times like it's trying to work normally but doesn't actually. I sent in the system logs with the Samsung members app, any ideas how to fix it?*
I'm on the newest pie beta on the Unlocked us version.
Turning off lift to wake doesn't help.
What did they do Location options ?
In Oreo or prior one could use just the device GPS for location accuracy. I think that option is no longer available? It appears to be just either On or Off. Nothing in between.

The 160+ page thread called "Note 9 Pie Alpha/Beta."
If you want the U1 firmware beta straight from Samsung, then you need to be on ARJ9 for the U1. Then sign up for the beta through the Samsung+ app.

Of course you do. You have to be on ARJ9 for the U1 before you can get the beta. It's only for U.

It's really all personal preference....but both devices can be flashed with either firmware...same...I have flashed the SPR, XAS, and ran the unlocked firmware XAA...I'm sticking with the unlocked firmware XAA because of the download booster but either device can do any of the firmware for you...
Can you show me the link for the Unlocked Firmware download ? It was recently taken down.. So I can basically keep the sprint and debloat it with no problems ?
Just registered with Sammobile and downloaded the Unknown XAS for my Sprint (SM-N950U).. So the Sprint bloatware automatically will be deleted, per following the download instructions ?

If the bloatware is all you're trying to remove you can do that with either Package Disabler Pro or BK Disabler. I use the latter but either gives you the ability to debloat or disable pretty much anything on the phone whether it be on the system side or the installed side. Most people get Unlocked for the freedom to take their device to any carrier without having to use their branded phones or for going overseas and not getting killed by carrier overages. But if it's just bloatware that can easily be removed with either of the options above and you won't need root either. I removed a lot of mine and between that and changing my animations to .5 in Developer Options my phone FLIES.

If you use the modified Prince Comsy Odin you should be able to.
Make sure you edit the Odin config file's UMS/Patch setting from 0 to 1.
Load as follows:
BL file in BL slot,
AP file in AP slot,
CP file in CP slot,
CSC file in CSC Slot (not HOME_CSC),
UMS slot empty....the userdata file is in the AP for the Unlocked software.
Hope this helps,

I want to get the note 8 unlocked from bestbuy and use it on sprint as well. I've been away from android for 2 years. If I flash the sprint firmware will I get regular sprint updates or will I have to manually update the firmware when it's released. I mainly want to do the sprint firmware bc of the visual voicemail(I didn't like google voice with my unlocked nexus 6) or what other options do I have? I've been reading around and the unlocked version has wifi-calling built in correct? Sorry for so many questions didn't know if I should start a new thread or not.

AT&T hasn't yet rolled out the OTA, but if you flash without the USERDATA_Tmb , all you do after that do a factory reset and all AT&T features, apps , wifi calling, HD voice , LTE all that will be on your Note 9 with no issues, i do it all the time.

If you purchased from T-Mobile US:
See if the in-store agents can help you cancel the order.
If they cannot help you with that,call customer care (611) to see if they will cancel the order.
The following says you can also just refuse delivery:
https://www.t-mobile.com/templates/popup.aspx?passet=ftr_ftr_returnpolicy
However,that's kinda hard to do with UPS,my experience with them is they simply drop off the package,regardless of shipping method/instructions,without so much as a signature.
Bring this point up to the Customer Care team & stress the reason (prolonged delay/pre-order period,I'm assuming),hopefully they'll be able to stop the order before it goes out.

Thats true i got 450 dollars off doing it straight through them. Sadly i choose US celluar on accident and meant unlocked fortunately for me its a unlocked phone why i want the software since i use t mobile probably snag the unlocked when it comes out.
Here is how I got the One UI Beta on my Verizon Branded Note 9 960U. (This process should work on any U Note 9, or even the S9/S9+)
Things you will need:
The patched ODIN software found here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software/patched-odin-3-13-1-t3762572 Thanks realbbb
The XAA ARH2 firmware build. (sorry i dont have a link for that one as i dont have anywhere to host a file right now. google for it)
The apk for the beta Samsung+ app. (again, google for it, its hosted a few places)
The process I followed to get the Beta is as follows:
install the U1 firmware with the patched Odin
install the beta Samsung+ apk
open Samsung+ and opt into the beta
Run through the OTAs one at a time until the beta installed (i think there were 4 OTAs to install)
THIS DOES NOT ROOT YOUR PHONE, NOR DOES IT TRIP KNOX AS THE SOFTWARE YOU ARE RUNNING IS STILL SAMSUNG OFFICIAL SOFTWARE
Using the XAA firmware for the first step removed the Verizon bloatware and boot animation from my device, I now have the generic Samsung pulsing logo boot animation. The phone does now think it is the U1 variant, so in the about phone section it identifies that way. All of my Verizon apps still work. Voicemail works if you install Samsung voicemail app from galaxy apps. I did lose wifi calling, but I have good cell reception, so i didn't need it.
What if I already have the unlocked version?

Hey I recently got my note 9 and don't have expirence with Odin or the different firmware versions as I come from an unlocked pixel 2 could someone explain if this will wipe my phone and if there are any common mistakes I could screw up?
Tried something similar and messed up something and my phone went into an infinite boot loop that I couldn't recover from. T-mobile sent me another phone. [emoji23]
Not worth the risk. I have a pie theme installed and it looks very close to the real pie update.

here is the firmware i used
https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/galaxy-note9/SM-N960U1/XAA/download/N960U1UEU1ARH2/231820/
and, after having this thread closed and then re-opened. I can confirm that I am, in fact, part of the beta (similar how-tos use method that just flashes the beta firmware which leaves you high and dry for future OTAs) i have downloaded the beta 2 release via OTA and submitted a few bug reports within the beta.
Is there a way to install this without the need of a PC?

What version are you currently on?
For your convenience, this is the official OTA update for the U.S. Snapdragon SM-N960U. If you can't wait for the Official Android 9 Pie OTA to hit your device/carrier then this is what you're looking for. It is universal for all U.S. carriers as Samsung has streamlined their Galaxy firmware across the U.S. carriers/variant. The only difference in the new firmware is the CSC relevant to each specific carrier. Your carrier SIM will determine which network configs and factory installed carrier apps will be preinstalled on first boot.
This specific OTA update .zip REQUIRES that your phone be on the latest Oreo firmware N960USQU1ARL1
If you're not already running the latest carrier firmware Oreo 8.1 (N960USQU1ARL1) just check software update in settings and let it update to N960USQU1ARL1. You can also download it from HERE and flash it via Odin. I strongly recommend a factory data reset BEFORE you Odin firmware for best results.
***Note this is the carrier firmware. If you want the non-carrier "bloat-free" firmware this is NOT it***
If you need more detailed install instructions visit this helpful thread.
Please thank the guys over at https://firmware.science/ for providing these EARLY releases as they are the ones making this possible.

Just odin back to ARL1 without wiping and then flash the update file before rebooting into the OS. That's what I did and everything is working fine but I am sure I will wipe over the weekend when I have more time.

Device: crownqltesq
Model: samsung SM-N960U
Device: crownqlteue
Model: samsung SM-N960U1
Loving the update so far, however i noticed that the edge lighting effect no longer works with Samsung Music Player...

Correct. This is the U.S. carrier firmware, not the Unlocked non-carrier firmware. I thought I made this clear in the OP.

Samsung removed this feature for some reason. I liked this feature too. Samsung seems to have taken a few steps backwards with the release of One UI.

Yeh thats what I ended up doing. Worked fine, albeit I'm not a fan of the verizon bloatware. Oh well I'll probably roll back to a vanilla install later.
Dumb question but this should be good to go on att right?

AT&T already has an OTA for this. Why go to all the extra effort?
Is there any update our for U1...I am currently on the latest version of the beta for PIE. Just curious, as all these firmware and models are making me a bit confused lol.

Thanks for posting this! Tired if waiting on Verizon. so far so good.
Only question I have is how do you open the recent apps from the home screen when you have the navbar hidden and are using gestures. Also swipe up for Samsung pay is enabled.
Never mind figured it out lol. Just can't swipe up to bring up Google assistant. Might have to disable Samsung pay swipe up feature to unlock that area.
Flashed on stock Sprint note9 from sdcard and working great!!
I'm on a spectrum device the 960U and was just wondering you guys who did update how are you liking it? And if anybody is using the BX actions It's a Bixby button remapper and if you had to uninstall it 1st or anything I'm just dumb not updating until I'm sure!
Thanks

What about the one specifically for AT&T, Ven? Or would it work all the same
Still waiting for Sprint to roll out
Took me 5 hours to download the firmware from sammobiles.com
Just flashed by odin on my n960u
I noticed that the reception is much much better on android 10.
I got LTE full 4 bars reception everywhere I go that usually doesn't happen on pie 9.0.
I think the new modem came on android 10 made significant improvements.
So far so good.

I'm on AT&T Note 9 (SM-960U). I'm currently running Nov. CSJ1 firmware.
CSJ1 isn't on SamFirm... I just checked for updates (AGAIN). Nothing.
Any tips?

Smooth sailing so far. New animations are really nice. I'm still trying to find out what new features to look out for. I'll get a better chance to check things out when I get out of work.

I downloaded CCT
CCT or CHA it doesn't matter because it comes with multi csc for all usa carries.
It will detect your sim and depending on that sim carrier it will set the csc automatically.
My model is actually verizon note 9 but the csc set on XAA since my phone is unlocked and i am not using verizon sim.
Anyone got a link to a faster download? Not going to wait for Verizon
