oreo update

I did update to crc2 oreo by using ad card but lost my apps. I'm ok with that it was worth it. Now I want to upgrade higher. My question is will I wipe my data again.

What's "ad card"? If you update through OTA or flash with Odin & HOME_CSC data won't get wiped.

How can I prevent T-Mobile OTA pie update and stay on 8.1?

I have a Galaxy note 9 running 8.1 and would like to stay there. My phone is the T-Mobile branded one. Unfortunately it seems that my phone has downloaded the OTA update to pie and is asking me to install it. I clicked "Later" but I'm afraid that won't last forever. How can I delete the downloaded data and also disable the update from happening in the future?
I am a complete novice when it comes to software stuff so things like "flashing" memory etc may be beyond my scope unless it's very simple. I do follow instruction well though
I understand that I am forgoing security updates and I'm ok with that. After finishing up with a Galaxy S7 that was painfully slow on its last update and having it eat battery, I'd like to stick with the original software. There are other things like the camera app, layout, etc. that I'd just rather stick to.
Aside from rooting the phone, is there any way to just kill the update program? How can I delete the downloaded update to free up memory? I read someplace that rebooting the phone would install the update - so do I need to factory data reset and start over? (I just got the phone so I'm ok doing that)

you may have a couple of options.
I have heard that if you reboot in to the bootloader mode and clear cache then it will get rid of the downloaded firmware update.
I'm not sure.
you can download package disabler pro and disable the update services. I went back to oreo after pie update was horrible.
in package disabler pro follow the directions to enable it
search in the app for "update"
I disabled
"Software update" (com.sec.android.soagent)
"Software update" (com.wssyncmldm)
"System updates" (com.samsung.sdm)
No more updates or notifications
Good luck

You can flash the unlocked 8.1 oreo ROM and it will remove the ability to receive updates all together. it will also remove all the bloatware from tmobile. You will have to flash this with odin. After downloading the .zip ROM, Unzip it and flash all 4 files.
You want the XAA download.

You still need package disabler pro or some kind if service blocker.
I down graded to Oreo on two devices using XAA and I still got firmware update messages for pie. Once I set up the phone.
Blocking the services keeps the phone from checking and downloading the update.

Easiest thing to do is to flash a different version modem for your device. Just flash the previous version modem file with Odin and you'll be set. If you want ota again, just flash the modem for your device matching the software update your device has installed.
I was on Oreo running the Pie modem and never got the Pie ota alert.

My phone has already downloaded the update and is prompting me to install it. If I flash or run a package disabler at this point will it be effective? How can I erase the update data so it isnt eating space? Do I need to factory reset the phone first to wipe all that out before I flash or run disabler?

You could try clearing cache like an earlier poster suggested.

Question after TWRP and root

Hi,
I am all new to Xiaomi (so a big noob into this).
I would like to flash the TWRP and to root the phone.
So here are my questions:
1.After that, will my phone received the OTA updates?
2.Or is better to take the rom from the xiaomi.eu and install them?
3.But with this, will I lose all the settings/application from the phone?
Thank you in advance for the answers.

A little up for my question :angel:

If you unlock you receive ota updates, but if you install twrp and magisk root you can't have ota. You should use a patched boot image maybe.
It is better you install xiaomi eu rom, it updates via ota with twrp also installed.
If you pass to xiaomi eu you have to format data, so you lose your apps and settings just first time

Thank you @HTCDevil for the explanation.
So sad that the root can't be kept.
So I will install twrp and the eu rom. With this I have 2 on the 3 things.
The phone is new so no data yet.....
Thank you again.

You can root after installing xiaomi eu.

Yes you are right, but I will need to do this on every update, right?
If I understand correct I will need to do if rooted:
-manual update of the rom
-new root of the new rom
Also, will I lose all the settings after an update of the xiami eu image?

Xiaomi eu has ota update, it flashes rom in twrp and wipe dalvik / cache automatically, so you don't lose data or settings. If you lose magisk you simply reinstall in twrp, related app and settings stay there

Thank you again @HTCDevil for your help.
Now I am ready for working with my MI9.

I can't update my phone once reverted back to stock firmware after rooting.

Here's the problem. I rooted my Note 9 a while back. I wanted to try ASOP roms, while I like the experience in general, there was just a lot I was giving up such as camera performance and samsung features. I decided to go back to stock firmware. I precisely remember I was on the august security patch before I rooted. So, I flash the stock firmware, Australian version, through odin and I checked I was on the July security patch. Now, I realized that September patch is also rolling out yet I am still stuck on July patch. There is just no update showing. It says its already update. I have already certified my device by play protect again, if some of you think that may be the problem. So, now what do I do?

use Odin again to update to latest

But then I'll lose all my data again. I am tired of going back and forth. Is there any way I can update through odin without losing my data?

HOME_CSC_OXM -> data will stay intact

Yes. You can download any firmware. As long as it is the same as your device. Oh, and if you went back to an old version and it is rooted, it will not appear any updates.

Question Update rooted S23

Hi guys, I have rooted S23 base 8/256gb EUX SM-S911B/DS firmware version S911BXXU1AWA6 and I'd like to update to S911BXXU1AWBD firmware version, a new update released a couple of days ago.
I was used to downloading full update package, push manually update through software updater, extract the boot.img, patch it through magisk and flash it through pc to have root after update (no data lost while updating).
Will this work for me on S23? I was using OnePlus 7T before. Or do I have to use Odin to update? (If yes, will I loose my data?)
I'm not quite familiar with Odin tool so I want to be sure. If flashing that patched extracted boot.img won't work I can try installing the TWRP released few days ago in order to root my device, I just want to know how to safely update without loosing my data or bricking the device.
I let my device root by Oneclickroot day after release cause there wasn't any verified safe way to root it myself but when there is now, I'd like to do it myself to safe some money.
THX for any advice

if you still have about 1 - 2 days time I can tell you how it goes with Odin. I also switched from Oneplus to Samsung and will also do it the first time, but I'm still waiting for the update from today in Germany.

use smart switch to make a full back up from your device, then you can try to root it
