I'm on Beta, will I get OTA? - Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions & Answers

I have beta N950USQU3CRBB, will I get OTA? Or will I have to revert back to Nougat to get OTA. If I have to revert back, is there a guide on how to do it and where to get the build?

No, you will not. The easiest thing to do is to apply the CRBB to CRC2 update since CRC2 is the build going out OTA:

Thanks! That worked perfectly.

Reboot into recovery and apply the update.zip is all? Its not working for me. At least not the link you sent me. Its says error in sideload package. Any ideas?

That's all I did. I moved it to the SD card first. I don't know if that makes a difference but give it a try.

I did that but no dice. I'm wondering if I have to go back to 7.1.

What build are you currently running?

I was on the oreo beta (CRC1 I think). I ended up finding the right odin to use and installed BRB1. From there I was able to pick up the official Oreo (CRC2).

Thanks...is this an in place install or will I get a facory fresh device?

are you rooted? because if you are, that shouldnt have happened. you cannot get OTA's when you are rooted. unless its to their voicemail application but not to their roms.

Are you using stock recovery for flashing? If I recall with s-off you needed to use a stock recovery to install any sprint updates?

by unrooting
u can go ahead and download the ota. itll either download to /cache or to /sdcard/downloads. if u down load it just dont apply it. once u have it downloaded just delete it from the directory it was in.
If you guys are trying to do an OTA update and it actually lets you, then you will lose ROOT, just so ya know....
You can download it without installing it.
Can someone post the update package to see what files changed?

[OTA] 4.42 ota.zip for VZW m7

Here is the latest OTA

I received a verizon htc one from someone in a trade for my wife and it was already rooted and I believe the bootloader is unlocked and I believe it has s-off. It had the unsense 4.4.2 rom already installed but my wife does not like how you have unlock the screen then hit answer call to answer incoming calls. Also the notification light is not working on that rom so I figured I would try installing something else for her. when you post a rooted version of the new ota can i install it via twrp that is already installed on the htc one?

Try applying it again and it should work. I saw that on the International One and it appeared it was running out of space on /cache while patching the HTC Speak app which is over 200MBs.

Reflash the previous stock rom you were using. That or wipe cache and side load the ota.zip. when turge said that he got me thinking so I put the ota in phone storage and wiped cache. Used stock recovery to install from phone storage.

You should flash back to stock and update. Cannot install OTA over a rooted rom I believe.
However, I came from Paranoid Android and followed the advice here, and it worked perfectly. Was able to keep root and TWRP.

currently on CM13.1 nightly I'm going to follow what you did. Hope it will work
I was rooted I use this post, and the is a link in that thread to the actual zip your will need, and also you must have the updated TWRP as well. All the information is in that thread. but that is literally it.
Download update zip
Download Flashfire
download new TWRP
Back up you crap ( will not wipe SD card unless you tell it to )
Run FlashFire, set setting correctly
run it, you will already be rooted when done
set dev mode
re-flash new TWRP
PROFIT
Did you get the option "Restore boot and recovery images" when setting Flash OTA zip? I just got Auto mount and Mount /system read/write.

If you have Xposed just get Android N-ify and it's just like having 7.0
Anyone updated from DP5 / systemless root / TWRP?
And flashed zip for adaway to work.
What are the steps to update with ota zip?
Yes and everything is ok. Follow the steps carm01 suggests some post above. Its easy and at least for me everything worked. After fisrt boot you can go to TWRP and flash everything else you need.

You can get the same experience without going through the trouble of upgrading and then having to root again etc. I personally like it but we all have opinions

I used it months ago so there could be a lot of changes to it since then?
I don't believe the new notifications are there? Quick pull down? It's also nice that it takes up a GB less for system as well.
What rom are you on?

How to take OTA on rooted/TWRP watch.

What is the correct procedure to take updates on rooted with TWRP watch?
I saw where someone said it needed to be flashed in TWRP but I'm not sure how it should be done.
TIA
anyone?
Possibly adb Sideloading The OTA zip through stock recovery. Assuming no other files have been touched.

Thank you sir, I will look again. For now, I just restored a twrp backup. I was stuck at boot screen (spinning icons) for a minute after uninstalling androidwear from the watch.

As title says you can now get the latest 7.1.2 images and OTA updates from the android developer site:
https://developers.google.com/android/ota

update:
There is a bug with latest version of adb, so need to roll back to version 25.0.3, see here:

There is a bug with the latest adb (version 25.0.4) that means it can't deal with larger files (link bellow), you need to roll back to 25.0.3 version of adb. Once you do you can sideload it no problems, command:
adb sideload (name of your file)

I would hold tight for a day or two. If you are on a different version there will be an OTA just for beta.
What version are you on now? Maybe the last beta update got you to where the rest of us are today.
Ok so i just tried to install the official OTA update on my pixel xl, the one google rolled out on my phone, and after downloading the file when it gets to step 1 of 2 it says
Coudn't Install
Installation failed
Im worried because my phone is rooted but i have done a systemless root so i could still get OTA updates. Does anybody know if this is an issue or will it be ok if i wait a couple days and then install it??

If it failed today it will fail in two days too. Something you did is making it fail. No big deal.
CZEddie has a guide here on how to sideload it with ADB. Below is how i do it each month.
Third post in the thread below. Just get the 7.1.2 full image instead of the 7.1.1 I mention in that post.
Pay attention to removing the -w from the flashall bat file. That is the key to saving your data.
And second to the last post in the thread are the​ instructions for getting root back.
