Verizon may have been first to update the Galaxy S8 an Galaxy S8+ to Oreo last week, but T-Mobile and Sprint weren’t far behind. As the weekend kicked off, both carriers began pushing the same update to their variants of Samsung’s 2017 flagships.
Both updates include not only Android 8.0 Oreo, but Samsung Experience version 9.0 as well. Sprint and T-Mobile’s Oreo updates are rolling out as G950USQU2CRB9 for the S8 and G955USQU2CRB9 for the S8+. The size of each file will depend on the software you currently have on your phone. For early Oreo beta testers, that could mean a 347MB update, but for those still on Nougat, expect a larger one.
To check for updates, head into Settings>System update.
Sprint, T-Mobile
Cheers DimStyle, Tony, and @antjphotog!
How is it possible that they don’t update the unlocked model but they update the carrier versions first AGAIN?
Right. I thought I was being smart choosing the unlocked USA model because they could update it without getting approval from any carrier.
Won’t make that mistake again.
Because they can update the unlocked ones a lot easier without having to go through the carrier approval process
and Note 8?
Come on tmobile what about v30 update for Oreo?
Im apart of the beta but I haven’t installed the beta. How do I get the official update?
Have you tried manual check? I was told they won’t come OTA if you’re part of the beta.
I never installed the beta. So if I install the beta and get up to the latest beta version I’ll be update to get the official update?
Yes. I was in the beta, downgraded to 7.0 so my wife could have my S8, then it prompted her for the beta install. She recently got the official release and is good to go!
Awesome, I’ll try that! Thank you guys!
Anndddddd I have AT&T
Note 8, unlocked = #NOTSOMUCH
You can flash the official firmware for note 8. The Ota has yet to be pushed though
No Oreo firmware available from Samsung for my SM-G955U1. No security patches since December 2017 either.
S8+ unlocked = #meToo
December security patch and Nougat. :-/
I gave Samsung another try after staying away since the S2. Now, I can’t wait to move on yet again.
Is there any vendor out there that takes care of their customers?
Just checked, no update for the S8Active on T-Mobile yet.
Looks like I’m with the wrong carrier here. Come on AT&T get with the program
