SM-9208 New Firmware

Hello there was a new firmware update posted on Sam Mobile for the SM-9208 Taiwan today (N9208ZZT2AOK2). Has anyone updated to it yet? If so do you notice any difference and if are you still rooted.

Yeah, just noticed this update on Samobile but have not flashed yet. It is new firmware dated at 09/11. Wonder what are the changes.......

If you're rooted it won't update OTA. I used ODIN to upgrade to K2 and I've experienced no problems.

Agreed. That's the plan. I meant to ask if you're able to re-root after taking the update, using one of the root kernels. (Was posting my question in a hurry as I was going through TSA Checkpoint).

confirmed. flashed and rerooted w/o issue. only noticeable difference was the "Android Upgrading Screen" it's now full screen and similar to the one on my T-Mo Note 5 w/MM. @ravian29 - thanks for your reply as well.

Beta after Android Pie Released?

What will happen after android pie is released, can i transfer into it and remove myself from the beta or will i have to reset my phone?

Are you on the official Beta, or are you using the leaked builds?

Official! Forgot to mention that, sorry!

Then you'll receive an OTA update to the official Pie release.

So if I am on a leaked built, then I have to reset my phone and get the update?

There's about a 99% chance you will have to ODIN back to an official build of Oreo to take the office Pie OTA. The only way around that is if the leak you're on just happens to wind up being the official release build, which is HIGHLY unlikely. Especially since they are already testing CSA1

I am on ZRLL (Note9 U1)
Is there any update for my note at this time.
Thank you for your help

There are three ways you can check this yourself:
One: Go to Settings and check for a software update
Two: go to firmware.science and check for an update there
Three: go to the main Pie beta thread in the News and Guides section and read through it. We are always discussing the most recent build.

Thank you !

Is there any way to get official beta still?

SM-N9500 Pie Update for Bangladesh

Is there anyone know when we can get Pie update for SM-N9500 in Bangladesh? As far I know our neighbour country India already got pie update last month. Can't understand reason behind for our location. We are still stuck with December patch for long days.

Sm n9500 didn't come Bangladesh officially. So no update. Regular variant Sm n950f has got official one ui android pie in 26 of feb. Indian got this on 15 feb. Better find the official version of 9500 ( if released) of other rezone and odin it. Good luck.

Thanks Bro for the information.
So that means there are not chance of Pie update through OTA? I got official update from 7 to 8 version last year and security patch updated till December.
Regarding Odin, actually I never did it before. New to this mode. Could you give me each guideline with necessary file links? I would be happy if u do so. Thanks you.

Watch YouTube for how to use Odin.
Odin can be downloaded from sammobile.com under firmware section look under SM-N9500.
just check sammobile.com your model didn't get PIE yet (or they are behind in uploading it to their website). That link was for a beta pie firmware. I'll wait for the official release. It'll be a lot easier for you.
You have to know how to use Odin on computer. So do lots of reading up in Odin. Use Google search and YouTube on Odin. (Use Samsung Odin for search).

You have to have a computer for both Odin and smart switch.
On computer go here for smart switch:
https://www.samsung.com/us/support/owners/app/smart-switch
Once pie is released for your phone smart switch will download it and install it for you. You'll need to connect your phone with USB cable to computer first.
Again search Google on how to use Samsung smart switch.

Thanks a lot for let me know in details. Checked sammobile.com. Yet to release stable one. Looking forward.

You should be receiving it soon. OS releases are dependent on the devices region.

I think so. Found that my device belong to HK region. I like to tell u that few days back got security update (January) and few fixes through OTA. It seems that there is no chance to get PIE update in this month. Thanks.

Did your l29-c432 device got emui 9.1?

The title. I am waiting for the update and yet i haven't got anything so far.

Still nothing for me in France.

Mine does, but I used firmware Finder.

My bootloader is unlocked so unless yours isn't I'm not sure how you'll do it.

No!! CLT-L29 (C432E5R1P9)
Current version: 9.0.0.286

That's completely up to you man. You still get official updates after you update unless you root I think. I haven't even bothered with root on this version

I highly doubt i can use Firmware Finder when i use mobile data. I might ask an official service center to check out

This is one of those cases where i don't have wifi at all. Besides i haven:t found the file for some reason

Downloaded mine from Halab, it did relock the bootloader, i copied to Internal / USB-OTG, rebooted to bootloader and it installed.
Done.

L09 432 here, no update since 9.0.0.286.

CLT-L04 here in Canada and I got the update last nite

What country and carrier are you on? I don't see an update.

Mine came in this morning, US (SD) Unlocked on T-Mobile.

Just arrived on UK unlocked

Now if someone can figure out root on US snappy variants for this.....

Installed seems smooth and hope battery life stays the same

Are you on U firmware or U1? I'm on U1 with T-Mobile and don't show an update. I'm guessing that I'll need to flash back to the stock T-Mobile firmware.
Edit: reflashed back to stock T-Mobile firmware and the update is still not showing up.

Were you already on the Beta? Wondering if Beta testers get the Stable release first. Otherwise, i'll be sitting here all day keep hitting the update button. lol

Downloading now in the UK, looking forward to trying this out

Why won't Odin let you flash back to the official build? Are you using the official version of Odin or the patched version?

I tried patched and unpatched and several builds of odin. It just wouldn't move past the SetupConnection step. I finally got it to complete after changing absolutely nothing after the 15th try. Still no update available.

I was in the beta, and unfortunately I was wrong, what I got was just another beta build not the final
