Stay on oreo for dual sim and sdcard.
No for NONROOT phones!
You'll have to root phone for that mod to work.
If that mod and to have an unrooted phone is important to you stay on oreo and wait for someone to find a work around.

Couple of questions about Note 8

Hello all.
I just received an "unlocked" Sprint Note 8 cellphone N950U and Im a little confused.
I used to had a Note 4 that i flashed with a U firmware that removed all the bloatware, is this avaible for the Note 8?
Why arent custom roms or a stable root (magisk) avaible for this cellphone?
Had a lot of time retired from Samsung side (OnePlus guy here) but was stolen during a car accident that i had this weekend.
Thanks a lot and dont forget your safety belt while driving!

EDIT: Never mind... wrong link if you want to root the phone. This is your only option to root on snapdragon. I would suggest you read through that thread.

Note 8 is locked bootloader ....there will be no twrp for it until it's unlocked ....which probably won't ever happen .. root is available but not once it's updated past bootloader v3 ...it's the only phone I have had that I didn't root ....I have flashed the Oreo roms and the unlocked versions .... But there aren't any custom roms ...

Oreo has not been OFFICIALLY released for the Note8. There has been some leaked builds, but none for the unlocked U1 firmware. So if you want Oreo, you'll have to go with carrier firmware.

Dear God no. Unless you want a brick.
Now, seriously, all of your questions have been answered in detail, and in guides, here on XDA. I highly encourage you to use the search bar and do some research of your own.

You asked about unlocked firmware. That would be U1 firmware.

SM-N950F firmware on FDS model

No worries, I already converted my N950F to dual sim function, so I can use 2 sim cards now.
I didn't flash any other roms, just same rom for N950F.
Currently, the rom will be same for same country or multiple csc country.

Note 9 Android 9.0 Beta on SPRINT

Works great...wifi calling works, carrier branding with Sprint logo on boot...WiFi calling works...strange that the install did not wipe my user data... VoLTE works by default...maybe enabled after I enabled wifi calling??? For outgoing and incoming calls...very stable...though my dark theme doesn't look right on some settings screens.
RCS works natively in the Samsung messages app.
Can not edit APNs anymore though the old methods though.
Any other Sprint users try this out???

Just curious how or why the Sprint branding was installed onto your U1 unlocked note 9. Or was the Pie version you installed a Sprint firmware specific one? Thanks.

It was not before the Android 9.0 update... Android 8.1 did not show any branding, but the Android 9.0 does. Similar to how the Samsung s8 was when you could switch carrier branding on the fly

This is what's confusing me to be honest. My T-Mobile Note 8 U model rebranded to Sprint when I inserted a Sprint sim card. I didn't think U1 models did this for the note 8 /S8 or 9 ? I thought brand switching only worked on unlocked carrier branded U variants.

I dont see volte. Show me a screenshot where you see it.
I think you mightve mistaken it as calling plus. Theres no toggle for volte and i am in nyc which is the market for volte.

You have to use shortcut master to launch the activity manually... VoiceNetworksActivity...see screenshots. The old activity shortcuts no longer work on Pie.

its a U firmware.. you can convert from U1 to U firmware.. All the firmwares are multi csc.. meaning you can install a VZW firmware for example on a sprint device and ull get sprint branding as it will use spr csc when it recognizes the spr sim card

It's a U firmware what? Reference your first sentence.
I'm aware that any U firmwares are compatible with the USA SD devices. However, my question was about OP flashing his U1 non carrier specific SD device to Pie and it branded to Sprint apparently. That's the part that confuses me.

Ah that one. Yea i tried that before also but it wouldnt turn on. I guess we have to wait for a working volte later

the pie leak for note 9 was from att servers which they only release U firmwares.. he had to have flashed U firmware onto a U1 device then flashed the update.zip to pie

I was on whatever rom came with the phone when I bought from Samsung..
Then flashed the rom in the instructions to install the Android 9 pie J1 firmware. Before I had a Samsung splash, now I have a Sprint splash.

Pie is not out for the US phones yet, you'll have to wait some more time. But if you want to try the beta pie firmware look under the note 8 guide forums and for SM-N950U/U1/W beta pie... but since it should becoming in a week or so just wait.
Atm pie is only available for the international models SM-N950F (exynos soc).

No!
Just remember once you go to bootloader 5 NO going back to bootloader 4.
Flashing the pie firmware will automatically bring your bootloader to version 5.

Any root methods for the Note 8 without compromise yet?

So I want to root my Note 8 to use mods like Camera Mod or ProtoDeVNan0‘s dual speaker mod, but I don't want to have the compromises like the battery charging issue, samsung apps not working, etc. Has anyone made a new root method that doesn't have the compromises or at least not as bad?
Thanks!

Nope still the root method for only nougat with the 80% battery limit.
If you want something to read check out the safestrap note 8 thread:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-8/development/root-t3942403
Recommended reading for the SM-N950U1/U/W snapdragons devices (in my opinion).
2) For SM-N9500 (China and Hong Kong) snapdragons
