Good news for all the Galaxy S8+ user running on Snapdragon processor. Now there is a new leaked Galaxy S8 Plus OneUI Pie Beta which comes with build number G955USQU5DRL5. In this guide, we will tell you how to install G955USQU5DRL5 One UI Closed Beta on Samsung Galaxy S8 Plus.

Remember that it’s exclusively for Galaxy S8 Plus sporting the Snapdragon chipset with variant SM-G955U. Here you can flash the firmware via ODIN Tool and then apply the Pie update via sideloading. First flash the Full Stock ROM G955USQU5CRK1 Oreo Update and then flash the incremental firmware from G955USQU5CRK1-to-S5CRL1 and then flash the OneUI Pie update from G955USQS5CRL1 to G955USQU5DRL5. You can find the download link for the firmware and ODIN flash tool in the respective download section. It’s a stock ROM that we will be flashing, so if your device has custom ROM, it won’t work on that.
