IT'S LIVE !!!!!!!!
i registered and downloading now !!!!
at first, i using unlocked s21 ultra with Visible sim card, the banner dont show up.
after i put in a Tmobile simcard, it' prepaid and expired. it works !!!
so even if you have a unlock 21 ultra, you need a expired Tmobile sim card for it to works !

Here is instruction how to capture update file: Thread '[OneUI 4.0 Beta 1](EXYNOS) Update.zip for S21 / Plus / Ultra - Download OTA Link' https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...for-s21-plus-ultra-download-ota-link.4333487/

I have a Verizon G998U that's freshly flashed to the most recent G998U1 firmware. Its a spare device so im happy to test a sideload package once located.

So no one has grabbed this file yet?... SIGH.

Theres nothing shiny and new about oneui 4. Its even less of a change than windows 11 is. You know how you get an update sometimes and the only thing it says is security updates? Its like that.

OTA link for G991U
S21 OneUI 4.0 Android 12 Beta (Snapdragon) OTA link
This is for the Snapdragon S21. I flashed my Verizon one to the U1 firmware pre-beta. I was able to get into the beta by popping out my Sim, logging out of Samsung Members/All Samsung. Then rebooting in airplane mode. Then logging into the...
forum.xda-developers.com

sorry. i'm too impatient.
after i downloaded ui4.0
i flashed it immediately.
you can get a tmobile simcard on ebay for 5 bucks, you dont need to activate it, just need a tmobile sim card to download the beta. so you dont need to depend on others
there is a setting Protect battery -to extend the lifespan of your battery, limit the maximum charge to 85%.
my phone at 14%, i plug it in, it shows 36m until full. that's pretty awesome 36 minutes from 14% to 85% on s21 ultra.

Oh.. nice but its for the s21.... not ultra.
Sigh.

There was nothing to be impatient to, you could have gotten the link easily while downloading the update.
You simply chose not to share anything. But you're free to do everything you want, so it's ok in any way.

adamlee2012 said:
I have to agree with you. I've updated and it's basically one ui 3.0 with a few minor tweaks. More like one UI 3.1/3.5 unless Samsung plan on adding more as the beta goes on, if not then it's by far the worst update in terms of UI re design.

Ok I live in canada and I bought a brand new note 8 off someone. It works great. I just noticed it's on android 7. So tired do OTA but it's says I'm on latest. Bear with me I'm not tech guy at all I'm going take it to shop and get them to help me or something. I called one cell place told me I have get a sprint card from USA that is active and has data to get update. That's not possible cause I don't know many people in USA. So I tried kies it tells me to down load smart switch I do it and I get my device is up to date. I have the SM-N950U. I think after this I stick with one from provider. I just don't wanna sign new contract. So traded for this one for my phone and cash. I really love it but I like features of android 8. So if there a link where I can get the update file and stuff I need for Odin I will have shop do it for me. I don't wanna mess up my phone but Im hoping get android 8 and samsung 9.0 then I be happy. Any help be great. If I can get to states or get someone mail me sprint sim lol be so much easier but I don't see that happening soon lol Thanks

You don't need a Sprint sim card you can do it yourself using odin and it's really easy to do.. What's the baseband that you're currently on? Tap settings then about phone and then software information and read the baseband. I will get you the link for the update firmware you need.

Here you go this is the August update for Sprint and the very latest one they have out right now although you can upgrade further but I wouldn't advise it yet since those aren't fully public yet.. This is the link you need to get the firmware from https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=1322778262904010789
After you're done downloading it you need to unzip it 1 time and put the files in their respective places and ignore the HOME_CSC file. Just turn the phone off and boot into download mode holding the power button the volume down button and the Bixby button all at same time and then you can read the screen and continue. Make sure you download the correct odin too by the way Odin 3.13.1 is the latest according to https://samsungodin.com and you can download it there.
So I should just wait. Does this mean there not official update for my phone maybe I will get the ota. It just not out yet. Is that why my phone saying i have latest version

That is the official update.. Since you're not using Sprint you're never ever going to get the over the air updates again unless you decide to switch to Sprint.. For example I'm on Verizon and I get the OTAs but if I were to switch to Sprint I'll never get the updates again unless I go back to Verizon and the reason this is, is because Sprint doesn't send out Verizon's firmware updates and Verizon doesn't send out Sprint's updates.. This means you have to do it yourself and the very latest update for Sprint is the link I posted all you have to do is download and flash it and if you've never done it before now is the best time to learn because if you're not switching to Sprint you're going to have to do it.
Oh ok I thought you said I wouldn't recommend doing it lol I just got confused. I be happy with oreo. I use pie on my buddy phone not huge difference. I thought different band that why said not recommend it. I just don't wanna brick my phone lol I don't have another phone that's all
lol wont let me download that sprint file window defender keeps blocking it so went to sammobile and found 2 versions one say sprint other is unknown cct. I don't have sprint bloat on my phone. the download for sprint don't show up. the cct one works will that work. I searched n950usqu3bra6

Sammobile is slow as hell I'd turn window defender off or download it with your phone and then transfer to a computer.. After you download the firmware just flash the needed files and not HOME_CSC yea whichever one you find should work just fine..
do I just need do thru odin or do I have do second step update from sd card from recovery. I just wanna make sure, cause once I do all this I wanna have all I need. I have odin and now downloaded the file you showed me thanks. Some youtube videos I watched this why I get confused they do bt/ap etc then after reboot shut off phone reboot from recovery then update from sd. so I just wanna make sure I have all.
Sorry for all questions I just wanna make sure I have everything. I been quoted 40-70 dollars to do it so if I can do it better lol

No you don't do anything but odin. First slot you put the BL file.. When you put the 2nd file in the AP slot it's so big that odin's going to say it stopped responding but leave it alone and it'll finish checking it and then move on to CP and then the CSC file and then tap start and give it about 10 minutes and that's all you have to do nothing else!! Only fill in the first 4 slots ignore the rest of them!

No there's no reason you would lose Samsung pay. You only lose that if you root the phone or for the international one if you unlock the bootloader. It'll be fine.

Flash VZW branded Note 8 to Unbranded XAA

Hi All,
Just got a VZW branded note 8 and I want to flash the US XAA unbranded firmware.
Can anyone point me to a location to get a decent download of the official firmware that will not take 17 hours?
updato, samfrew and sammobile are all predicting between 8 to 16 hours for download?
I'm looking for the XAA version of this one N950U1UEU6DSH3
It is on all the sites but the download crashes or is going to take a very long time.
Thanks

If you're on boot loader 6 it's more than likely not going to work.. I just tried to help someone else do this very thing with the boot loader version of 6 and it didn't work not with the regular Odin and not with the prince comey Odin.. I haven't seen any other way to do it or anyone else do it yet but you can check the page on here that has directions on how to do it but that's only for the lower boot loader versions..
Thanks so what you are saying is that I can't even go from BL6 to BL6 unbranded.
That sucks that it is not possible at all.
I'll reread the guides but since they were older versions, that was the one reason I asked the question about firmware location hoping some one had it on a Google drive or something I wanted to give it a shot.
I'll have to go the route of adb shell to disable stuff then.

You can always check https://androidfilehost.com that's only one I use since the rest of them are too slow and do that on purpose to try to make you want to pay for the higher speed. And no I don't think you can flash it at all at this point because like I said I just tried it with someone else and it would not work.

You cannot OTA update from Baseband N950USQS5CRKI. You need to manually flash the latest version using Odin.

It's quite simple.. You download the latest version of firmware for the device which is N950USQS6DSI3 after it's downloaded you need to unzip it one time and then boot the phone into download mode and connect it to the PC USB port and open Odin and put the files in their respective place and then flash.

Thanks bro! Nice to see you too! How are you doing? Everything alright? I sent my Note 10 back because I just can't stand certain features or LACK of features namely the notification light being gone and the screen protectors breaking the fingerprint scanner so.. I don't know what phone to even get at this point now.

Doesn't matter they're all the same just choose whichever and flash it the phone will choose the correct information on it's own!
Are there update limits? I usually get a new phone, root it, find a rom I like and stick with it a long time. I recently updated many apps and they are not working right. Only google maps will get the location from the GPS for example. Also trying to get it to work with my new car radio (kenwood) with wireless mirroring and android auto. Anyway, as much as I like root, I am thinking it may be time to just update. I am currently at N950USQS2BQK2. Yeah way back. Can I odin a current like N950UOYN7DSK3 or do I have to go in steps? Also how do I get an unlocked USA from sammobile? Just pick a USA that doesn't list a carrier? Any other gotcha's since 2017?
Thanks,
Bob

Can't update my ROG Phone II

Hello, recently just bought a ROG Phone 2 Tencent Edition from Ebay, when the device came everything was great. However i noticed that online it said that an update had come out which allows support for airtrigger sliding functions. Mine however did not have this. I went to the settings in order to try and update it, but it said that there was no update. So i then went ahead and downloaded an update form asus's website in an attemp to manually update it. But for whatever reason it said that the update was unsuccsessfull or something like that, and that it failed. I checked online and it said my finger print was still on CN however using device hw info it says im on "WW" fingerprint. My software version is 198.12. Please help!

Ah sorry, misread your post. Just download the 1910.44 raw rom from the second link and extract to the root of C drive, remove the original zip file from the folder you extracted and then run flashall_AFT.cmd with the phone in fastboot mode (hold volume up and power together until you set a menu, that's fastboot mode) . It will take about 5 to 10 minutes to complete then the phone will restart. You will not lose any data... Good luck

Well, up until 1910.44, we were able to just download the updates from asus and put them in the root of internal storage... But this changed for many users with the .44 update, so I'm not sure... We'll have to see how the next update goes, but yeah, it'll either be through download of ota or by flashing raw rom... Either way it'll be posted here by someone. Won't be long to wait as China versions already have update .52 update, WW comes shortly after
Hi there I am in a similar situation with a tencent rog 2 purchased on ebay that is on android 9 WW version. Is it possible to flash WW_ZS660KL_17.0240.2107.100_M3.23.44.20-ASUS_1.1.232_Phone-user.raw to get to android 10 immediately? I have attempted it just now but it appears the flashall_AFT.cmd is stuck and i have waited around 20 minutes.
edit: I waited an hour and nothing seemed to happen. so I restarted the phone and it seems like nothing happened at all. Any ideas?

If it's the U1 3AUDD update you can't downgrade. The bootloader revision has been bumped to 3 and there is no going back to bl 2.

I'm pretty sure you can't downgrade because the bootloader is a different version than the previous version. The number that is shown 5 characters from the right on your Build Number identifies the bootloader version. The May update took me to bootloader version 3. Prior to the upgrade, I was on bootloader version 2. Forgive me if I'm wrong, but I don't believe you can downgrade once you've updated to a different bootloader.

They upgraded bootloader so no going back.. Not sure if you can root.. But if so you can add command to unlock the hot spot..

You could try PDANet

Are you in the US?
I haven't tried to tether with this phone.
So, you're saying that if I tether, it will check with T-Mo or whatever my carrier is to see what I'm eligible for?
I guess that was 1 benefit about the Pixels. No checking, just tethering!
Very happy with May update

Here's a work around I found:
Download Activity Launcher from the play store -> go to the search on the top right -> type in "tether" -> it should search for "Mobile Hotspot and Tethering (there should be 3 that pop up) -> choose the 2nd one -> click on "WiFi Hotspot" -> click On.
I don't take credit for this as I found this on reddit. It worked for me and a few others. Good luck!

Thank You soldier.
By the way, folks: you can make this work with Shortcut Maker too. Great app.
Thank You to Samsung for leaving this untouched, LOL.

Other than locking you in so you can't go to an earlier version does it serve any useful function?
