This guide will walk you through flashing the Oreo update onto your Galaxy S8 / S8+ Exynos variants. And yes, the official Samsung Oreo update is officially called “CRAP”. I have no idea if its an acronym for something, or if Samsung has suddenly developed a sense of humour. Warning: This guide is only for the G950F and G955F, which are the Exynos variants of the Galaxy S8 / S8+ models. Do not proceed with this guide if you do not have an Exynos Galaxy S8 / S8+. Also, this update will go smoothly if you’re running Nougat, but if you’re already running one of the Oreo beta updates, you will need to perform factory reset/data wipe before following this guide.
Requirements:
ADB & Fastboot Tools on your PC if you wish to sideload the update, or else we can flash it from your SD card (see Appual’s guide “How to Install ADB on Windows”)Odin Tool
