The One UI / Android Pie beta has been made available for the Samsung Galaxy S8, S8+, and Galaxy Note 8. In this Appuals guide, we will show you how to flash the beta firmware on all 3 devices. The steps may appear similar between devices, but there are key differences in the procedures depending on the model.

Pay attention to the steps specifically for your variant, and leave a comment if you encounter any issues.

Snapdragon Galaxy S8 – Downloads

  • Odin 3.13.1
  • CRK1 to CRL1
  • CRL1 to DRL7
  • CRK1 Odin files
  1. Download the CRK1 to CRL1 and CRL1 to DRL7 update files, and transfer them to your SD card.
  2. In the Odin files, there is a zip named SM-G950U_1_20181108104414_f9mqimhcmz_fac.zip. Extract this zip and you will see six files, but we will only need 4 of them.
  3. Turn off your Galaxy S8 and boot into Odin Mode using Power + Volume Down + Bixby while connecting to your PC via USB.
  4. Launch Odin on your PC, and in the tabs for BL, AP, CP, and HOME_CSC, choose the appropriate files from the extracted Odin files. Do not put anything in userdata!
  5. Click the Start button, and Odin will flash the new firmware. It will take about 10 minutes.
  6. When its done, shut down your phone and reboot to recovery with Power + Bixby + Volume Up.
  7. In Recovery Mode, choose “Apply Update from SD Card”. Select the first update.zip for CRK1 to CRL1.
  8. It will take about 10 minutes to flash. When its done, repeat the same process for the CRL1 to DRL7 update.
  9. When its all done, you can reboot to Android system and enjoy the new One UI / Android Pie beta!

Alternative ADB sideload: In recovery mode, choose “Apply Update from ADB”, then type ‘adb sideload <name of update.zip>’. Do this for the CRK1 to CRL1 and CRL1 to DRL7.
