Or, do it thru your dialer. keypad UCCD CODE style, are u familiar, wth, I'll throw it up (ink to paper) for everyone:

RECEIVE 0TA UPDATES (UCCD Code):

Note: B-4 starting this task, turn off

handset, remove sim-card, reboot

goto settings, about phone

press down on imei, copy(to clipboard)

goto dialer/phone keypad screen

(UCCD Code Dialer-Keypad)

Select Network (Sprint : SPR)

Tap Install, (Next Screen)

Select Type: Sales & Network(both)

Tap OK (exit screen)

Follow S-O-P to receive OTA/Update

After Software Update Completes(msg)

Power Off, Re-Install sim-card, reboot

Your handset will recognize sim-card

notifying you of a necessary restart

(in process, sales/network codes to stock),

Just replace SPR with XAA in my example above. Make sure b-4 beginning remove sim, then after OTA update is completed, and your handset reminds you "no sim card".

Then power down re-insert your sim, power-up and your device will reboot and put your CSC codes back to stock per your sim card.

Ofcourse you need Beta 1. These updates have source and targets defined you wont be able to update unless your device meets the requirements even if you are sideloading.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] warriorvibhu:
I dont think it works like that. As far as i know every Note20 Ultra is capable of GSM as well as CDMA. I am using TMob which is definitely GSM. Verizon and Sprint use CDMA and Verizon is retiring its CDMA this year.

Anyhow - This is how it works you need to be on SM-N986U1 Firmware to be on Beta.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] Geekser:
I wasn't aware of that - thanks for the heads up - I really appreciate your help. Running update now - thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] mellojosh:
I got a crazy amount of 5g bands in this beta, I don't have a way to test them, especially an important one like n78 which is heavily used outside the US. They do need to be enabled manually to show.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] mellojosh:
You are correct, all n20s have support for CDMA and GSM, the inserted sim determines the csc, which determines the mapping in the service menu and changes the options available in settings-connections-mobile networks-network mode. GSM networks will see what's posted in the first screen shot, CDMA enabled networks will see what's in shot 2.

Verizon is retiring CDMA, but all smartphones and even flip phones sold in recent years have been Volte enabled and all services are carried over LTE. I haven't seen a drop from LTE to 3G in an extremely long time, I personally have disabled the CDMA bands in the service menu just because if I'm on 3g, I'm not using my phone anyways. But there will inevitably be somewhere that 3g reaches and lte doesn't, so CDMA is on the phone for that.

Sprint is different, they have routed over volte much more recently, but last time I tested earlier this year, their phones still required CDMA bands enabled as an anchor for services to work. I am guessing this is also why when you change a phone on sprint you can't just swap the sim card. You actually have to register the phone device info on the line. This way they can blacklist non CDMA capable phones. This could be changing as it's now tmobile, but that's been their history.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] dottat:
So I can't post in their beta forum, but I see the following bugs remain.

1) adaptive stuck at 120hz

2) gallery app doesn't show dates while scrolling through photos anymore.

3) messages app behaves very weird if you have blocked and then unblocked a contact. You'll send a message and the entire thread will disappear leaving only the last message you sent showing.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] warriorvibhu:
1) I can confirm number 1 and have reported it.

2) Its working fine for me and shows the dates - See if you have any app updates in Galaxy Store.

3) I will try this, have not tried this yet.

On other note did you try using the registration link i have posted so you can register and report bugs.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] dottat:
Let me rephrase... Enter an album and scroll
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] warriorvibhu:
Thats working too. Go inside the album, Tap on the three dots on top right, tap on sort, flip the switch "Group by Date" to on. ;) Let me know if that works.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] dottat:
That's not expected behavior though and isn't working like it previously was.

Also kinda sucks you have to do it by folder. Eek
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] Geekser:
I originally flashed the first Update zip while on the TID U1 firmware - after that I flashed CSC from the latest U firmware to get ATT Wifi Calling working. That worked fine.

When this new update came out, I didn't think and attempted to update to the new Update via ADB - and unfortunately it failed about halfway thru. I assume this is because I had the U CSC firmware on my device - do you think that is true?

I eventually was able to get my phone into Download mode (it took a bit of work) and once there, I flashed U1 firmware so I could get the phone working again.

Now, I am back on TiD firmware - my question is - do I need to first run the Original update zip and once that has been done, then go thru the steps to run the new update zip?

Thoughts? Anything I am missing?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] warriorvibhu:
Since you are on ATID firmware how about you start with registering for beta check this thread for how

Then check for software updates and may be you will get the Beta 1 and subsequently the Beta 2. After on Beta 2 you can flash your CSC which you did earlier to get wifi calling working. Most of all lets us all know if that worked we all are learning together in this from collective experience.

Well, I just don't know what I am doing wrong or why this is happening.

After flashing the TID firmware, I attempted to do the Update.zip for the first beta, started out well - and then at 47% completed, it failed my only option at this point was to get into download mode and reflash firmware.

this happened while using the same cable I had used when I first successfully flashed the update previously.

I tried again and had the same thing happen, failed at 47%. So after flashing firmware in ODIN, I downloaded new update file, and using different usb cables (just in case) and the same thing happened. Failure at 47%

so I am a bit frustrated with myself and wonder what I am doing wrong or why this is happening. ???
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] *Detection*:
Have you tried flashing update.zip from sdcard?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] dottat:
Do you have a spare SD card? If so put that file on there with the filename update.zip

You may need to try it as fat32 vs exfat. I cannot remember which one works for this device.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] warriorvibhu:
Can you check something for me:

1. Is your device SM-N986U1 and not SM-N986U - Can you check if you flashed the U1 firmware.

2. Are you using CMD and not PowerShell.

3. You are using the platform-tools folder that i have attached here (the one with adb.exe)

ALSO WHY NOT TRY TO REGISTER FOR BETA - using link from my Beta Sideload thread and get the official download if you can.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] *Detection*:
fat32 worked for me
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] Geekser:
(I successfully updated yesterday - and all was working - I flashed CSC to get ATT stuff working - made a mistake and tried to update and it failed - so I used odin to flash TID firmware and tried to do update following the same steps as when I did it the first time - and that is when it failed - it is crashing at 47% for some unknown reason?

On TID - using your Power tools - etc.

I did try to register for beta using your link and get a message saying they do not have room for any more participants.....

Can yuo remind me what format the SD card needs to be in if I want to try to run the update from SD Card? Is it Fat32 or the other one?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] bigron77:
1) Flash TID (BL, AP, CSC, CP) with Odin

2) Boot up device and skip google/samsung login

3) Enable USB debugging

4) Reboot to recovery and sideload beta 1 via ADB

5) Once Samsung logo appears, boot back into Recovery and install beta 2 from SD card.

6) Finally, if your carrier is ATT or Verizon reboot back to download mode and flash the N986U (BTJ4) Home CSC file with Odin to recover your carrier's boot logo and features, then reboot...

That worked for me Bro
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] Geekser:
that is exactly what I did and the update failed at 47% - I am going to try again - redownload the update zip and do a fresh install of TID and see if that helps - not sure why it failed at 47% - I will keep trying...
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] Geekser:
SUCCESS! On my last attempt - I was finally able to get the first update installed - it didn't fail like previous attempts failed - and phone has rebooted - (for some reason it did wipe data - but that is a small price to pay)

Now, I will try the second update....fingers crossed
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] bogarty:
I also have the N986U1 XAA on TMB sim. Can't believe I missed this yesterday I guess. Checked today and Beta is there, but it just tells me that the Beta is already full when I try to register.

View attachment 5130825

Hello. I also have the N986U1 XAA, but using a TMB sim. Do you think your firmware would still work? Doesn't seem like it should matter the carrier with an unlocked device, but my current firmware is ATJ3(not ZTJG). Do you think this would matter?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] hayabusa1300cc:
You will need to Odin flash back to ATID first.

There is a thread on this recent. In the same thread, follow direction to update.zip to Beta 1, then use the download in this thread to update.zip to Beta 2. You have the correct model so your phone is compatible. That thread, this one: https://xdaforums.com/galaxy-note-20-ultra/how-to/guide-how-to-android-11-one-ui-3-beta-t4182569

Will answer your questions about your sim.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] bogarty:
Thanks for the info! Definitely makes sense to flash back to ATID first. Now I'm kind of wondering though if flashing this might affect my connection(particularly 5G). You know with TMB & SPR having pretty different CSCs, as well as operating on very different bands of course. Perhaps this beta doesn't contain any updates for CSC(or HOME_CSC) though maybe?

If anyone has the beta for the TMB or XAA btw maybe they can post a link? I guess I'm looking for ZTJG for TMB. Thanks! [MENTION=8940194]Tonyy1206[/MENTION] maybe?

I had given off on getting the beta being I didn't want to rollback to ATID ... But patience paid off ...
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] hayabusa1300cc:
Very welcome

The first beta took away the 5g symbol for me, but Beta 2 had brought it back. I never got to thoroughly test if the issue was only cosmetic.

The good thing is you can make a backup, try the beta out and flash back to Android 10 if you need to
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] Mr. Orange 645:
Weird, I'm on the first beta right now (getting ready to flash the update to beta 2), and I never lost my 5G symbol. But I also did a complete clean install without restoring anything, so that may be it.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] bogarty:
Thanks for your help. I managed to get the ZTJG firmware installed(Android 11 One UI 3.0) and it looks great! I found it on a site outside XDA and it won't let me link the site here. After installing though I did notice that this XDA Thread HERE too also appears to maybe have a link to the same firmware version as well. I haven't tried it though.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] warriorvibhu:
There are only 2 beta versions, 1st Beta ZTJG AND 2nd Beta ZTK1 nothing like "you used ZTJG coz that was sent tmobile etc etc", please do not confuse people.

Thanks for your effort in trying to help but this is all common knowledge looks like you didn't read through the threads. I suggest you do that believe me it will help.

Incorrect info about flashing ATID. Flashing to ATID won't wipe your data unless you are downgrading from Android 11, you just have to use Home_CSC. I highly recommend reading up it will help avoid confusion.

PS- Not trying to be rude there is already threads for Beta flashing if incorrect info is left here people will get confused. That's it. Sorry if tone comes across as rude.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] bogarty:
How would I know that when I didn't receive the beta and beta firmwares aren't listed in any of the traditional places? I highly doubt that, for the beta, this is common knowledge to everyone. I didn't know that about using Home_CSC instead of the other CSC file saving your data though. I've flashed my devices so many times over the years, but didn't remember that. I read to use the other CSC on another site,, so DEFINITELY not something everyone knows. Thanks anyway I suppose.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] warriorvibhu:
My friend it wasn't that one sentence your other sentence about ATID flashing is either wrong or incomplete . All I am saying is if you read a little, you would know. I didn't receive beta too so did many others. Many of us sideloaded beta anyhow you have it now so enjoy it excuse my rant..thank you for being patient. I can be a little frustrated at times so I take the blame but thanks for being civil.

Sticking to topic..did you sideload this ZTK1 or use SD card method..also were you able to sign up for beta ?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] bogarty:
I wasn't able to use SD card method. Recovery could not load SD. I sideloaded to ZTJG only. Should I sideload to ZTK1 from ZTJG? I received the beta banner, but it wouldn't let me register because it said the beta was full.

Nevermind. I sideloaded to ZTK1.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] warriorvibhu:
yes sir, some people are finding it too responsive .. Beta 2 is better than Beta 1 though.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] todd3835:
No, I have to swipe 3 or 4 times sometimes. It's maddening. My Bubbles for texts from UI 2.5 are gone too. Can't seem to get them back. It's turned on.....

Edit: if you change to side gestures there's a sensitivity option. Changing that to high and then going back to bottom gestures seems to keep better sensitivity.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] warriorvibhu:
I cant believe this actually works .. unless i have a placebo. May be more people need to verify> i do feel increased in sensitivity now. Sorry i never used bubbles and dont want to use them but will try it to see if i have the same issue as you.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] todd3835:
It worked for a few minutes and was terrible again. Putting on gesture suggestions makes it super responsive again.

Bubbles needed the Google Messages beta. Not sure if Samsung Messages works out of the box or not.

On the beta previous to this one, I had those issues with the nav gestures... I had to put the very tip of my thumb at the very bottom of the screen to get it to respond, but for me, that was fixed on ZTK1. Gestures feel like they did before. Strange that it's still happening to you on ZTK1...
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] m11d23:
I have an interesting issue with this beta. I've registered when the first beta became available and received the first beta the next day. I've also received the ZTK1 two days ago. The problem is when I check the beta program status, I get a message saying my Samsung account or phone isn't registered with the beta program. I have registered both but can't submit the feedback or can't check the beta notices. I tried wiping the device cache and reinstalling the Samsung Members app but didn't fix this issue. Does anyone have this weird problem?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] OGWisdom:
I also get the same exact message. However, I am on a Verizon branded device. We were unfortunately not included in beta testing, as when I tried to register, it would tell me device not supported. So, of course I used other means to get myself on the new beta. So, maybe it's just a Samsung server or app thing.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] bblanski:
Strange I am also on a Verizon branded device and I have no issues.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] OGWisdom:
I don't have any issues, just when you go into the beta program banner in the Samsung members app, it won't let me leave feedback or visit the forum. But, you can? That's odd, but not unlikely. I guess.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] Tonyy1206:
Having the same problem but with Google play and sometimes the members app. Where it loads blank. Have to close it a couple of times and then reopen it.

Issue I'm having with at the moment is that I can't see any of my files from phone or apps. But the phone is running fine
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] todd3835:
I figured that out but apparently having bubbles forces that app to have detailed notifications making edge lighting not work. I don't know if it's a Google messages issue or one with Bubbles implementation. I submitted a bug report
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] OGWisdom:
For you sir, I would redo everything you did. That is not normal. I even kind of dirty flashed this and my file system was intact. I would go into recovery and wipe your caches, you may even have to factory reset. But, from what I see, you may just have to refresh everything. Not sure on what your process was to get onto the new beta.
