Does anyone that is using these Betas have an Android for Work profile on their phone? Did it break anything? My company actually uses AFW, which is a first for me.

Also, didn't Android stop allowing downgrades in version 9 or 10, or is this one of the several ways Samsung deviates from Android by allowing a firmware regression without wiping data?

Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] warriorvibhu:
I can answer only second part of your question. Of you downgrade from Android 11 to 10.. Let's say in case something in AFW breaks, you will lose data. Going from 11 to 10 wipes the phone. If you have AFW I suggest it's better to stick to OTA and security patches, trying Beta would not be advised.

I started having a random issue when connecting my phone to the USB in my car for android auto - when the car first starts (after having plugged in the USB) an error message appears on the phone saying there is danger of dust or water in the USB conection - warning that signficant damage could happen - etc.

IN all the years of using my phone/USB/Android Auto, this has never happened before - also - If I unplug my phone and then plug it back in - the error usually goes away as if nothing had happened.

I wonder if anyone has had anything like this happen - and or what your thoughts are ? I honestly don't think there is any danger of dust or water/moisture - and this doesn't happen everytime I start the car - but maybe every other day it happens the first time I start my car with the phone plugged in, in the AM -

Any thoughts from anyone ?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] Jobudden:
I only use wireless android auto. But even it has its issues.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] warriorvibhu:
Slightest amount of moisture when detected can trigger this. There might have been condensation on the metal part of your Charger or inside the port due to temperature changes. Every time that happens.. Unplug.. And blow on your charging port of phone (make sure not to let spit / moisture in).. Check the metal end of the charging cable that goes into phone. Wipe it.. If it still gives warning then you might have to leave it for 15-20 mins for moisture residue to dry.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] warriorvibhu:
If you canceled it while in flash that could have been disastrous, thought it was still verifying. In any case all well wait for it and let us know how it goes.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] jianansong:
It again stuck at 89% and on the phone, it shows "Patching product image after verification"...

Finally, it passed and now booting up. It looks good so far.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] atrix4nag:
Currently i am on ATJ3 version, can i directly update it to UI 3? Or i must downgrade to ATID first?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] warriorvibhu:
Downgrade my friend all this is already there in first post.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] atrix4nag:
Yes i saw the first post. Just confirming, is it required 100% or good to have. As per your response, i am assuming its must.

Thanks for your efforts putting this together.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] warriorvibhu:
Welcome. Its required 100% due to source and target in update.zip. If it doesnt find the correct source it wont upgrade the OS.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] kbello:
I did the downgrade to ATI5 then upgrade with 0 problems and no data lost
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] sangiman:
I'm having issues with cant read update.zip. The troubleshooting mentions this but no luck. What should the flags be set to and on what files?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] warriorvibhu:
The file to choose is Adb.exe and set the flag to true. Otherwise download the platform tools folder that i have attached and linked in first post, the flag is already set to true there.

Will beta OTA updates still work?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] kawibby:
Updated successfully. Thanks for this. I have been waiting for the beta banner. One question I have is has anyone successfully enrolled in the beta program after sideloading this OTA? When I open Samsung Members I can't see any beta notices or post feedback because it says my account is not enrolled. TYIA
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] j3ffm1ll:
is it possible to register for the beta after installing this?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] krishelnino:
Thank for you the guide, very helpful. I was able to successfully flash my T-Mobile TI5 firmware to Unlocked firmware TID using your post on the other thread. After that I was able to successfully sideload the update.zip file using adb. Please use the adb files posted by OP, the minimal adb method didn't work for me.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] FlowingAway:
Anyone else's install successfully, but actually do a factory reset? Mine did. I don't really care, I have a backup from 2 hours ago. Just thought it was random.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] KnightStar:
How do we treat updates to the beta from hereon out then? I managed to flash the beta build just fine to my N20 Ultra but Samsung Members tells me I'm not registered in the beta so I'm assuming any updates past the current beta build have to be manually flashed right?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] fatboypup:
Thank you for this tutorial however the banner did show up for me not on ATID I was able to register however I have been not able to download
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] Elastep:
Screw that banner... Updated through adb with no issues.

If you're getting any errors: 1) make sure your update.zip is in the same dir as adb.exe 2) use adb.exe from the first post.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] sangiman:
Finally got it installed following the ops instructions. Guess I was used to my old pixel and thought I knew what I was doing but didn't. Was using a power shell instead of a cmd prompt as admin.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] Geekser:
Thanks - it is kind of odd sometimes. Example - get in car - plug in phone - error message/with Notification Sound and screen message. I unplug phone and blow into the USB C - wipe with towel - plug into phone - all is good.

Now, I drive around a bit - stop at a different location - get out of the car for a minute or two (leave phone plugged in) when I get back to the car less than 5 minutes later and start it up - Error message/Sound occors again - forcing me to unplug. (if I plug back in without doing anything else, the sound and error message goes away)

I can beleive there might be a need for this feature - but I also have a small part of me that thinks it may not be working properly on my phone due to the Beta - (this has only happened since I started the third beta(

?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] rockingondrums:
Just curious, is your Android Auto OEM equipped or aftermarket head unit (and which one, if so).

I'm jealous.

Maybe I'll have to break out an old phone and set it up for my AFW, just in case. I really want to have PIP resize, amongst other things. Is PIP resize present?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] warriorvibhu:
I am too. Stupid Lexus would not support Android auto while there is aftermarket solution to mirror the screen of your phone to the Car's pre-installed display unit, i dont feel comfortable doing all that.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] Jobudden:
So this should be the last one before the official?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] warriorvibhu:
Not sure. For S20 Samsung released like 7 Betas so I am not sure what to assume coz at this point it will just be an assumption and I like informed guesses.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] OGWisdom:
I don't believe this to be the last beta either. There are still many bugs present. It would take at least 2 more to make sure that those have been ironed out, I would think.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] Jobudden:
Ahh I thought the s20 only had 3 beta updates. Haha good to know
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] rockingondrums:
[MENTION=587077]warriorvibhu[/MENTION] so does the latest beta allow resizing of the PIP window? Like if you minimize YouTube and it switches to the PIP window, can you resize it? Thank you.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] warriorvibhu:
Yes its possible but not like unlimited resizing. I don't use that resizing feature but I tried for you. It allowed resizing but only two sizes were possible. There is no continuous resizing to make as big as you want. See attached screenshots.

adb: failed to read command

I'm getting the same thing failure at 47% but I'm on N986U1. Any thoughts? I tried multiple USB cables and USB ports on my machine.

Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] rockingondrums:
Are you using a different resolution or dpi ? Your smaller PIP window is smaller than my YT PIP window haha. But thank you. I really want to increase the size of my PIP navigation window, I'll take whatever I can get. I've missed a couple of exits because the default window is so small.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] warriorvibhu:
2 quick questions..

1. Are you on ATID firmware, what does your build number say (last 4 letters)

2. Did you use the platform tools folder attached here for ADB and if yes did you use Command Prompt and not powershell?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] warriorvibhu:
Yes i am using a different dpi. Default is 411, I use 540 or 560 I find that comfortable as the UI otherwise is too big for me.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] iharish:
Does this beta 3 will work on SM-N9860? Please someone update..
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] warriorvibhu:
Nope
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] con_oner:
Wrong firmware

My bad, I'm on ATJ5. Another case of not reading the original post completely.

Apologies, and I will get on ATID first.

Thanks for the help.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] ifly4vamerica:
Thanks [MENTION=587077]warriorvibhu[/MENTION] Awesome guide, easy to follow. Used this method to get to beta 3 before rooting.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] TheROMGuy:
So. Does this work on my Verizon Note 20 Ultra 5g. It's not unlocked afaik. I just purchased the device.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] phuduong:
Yes. You will need to flash 960U1 ATID firmware before adb or update to beta 1,2,3.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] warriorvibhu:
Use Odin to Flash Unlocked (SM-N986U1) ATID Firmware for a carrier Unlocked device.

For changing Firmware from N986U to N986U1 and / or GUIDE TO FLASHING USING ODIN Refer This thread

The above information is included in first post, please read before asking questions

Yes, seems a typo, you meant to write 986U1
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] acasmc:
HI all,

I have a N9860 Snapdragon with BTK3 firmware. Is this tutorial eligible for my device? Can someone spare time for downloading if it does not work for my device.

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] warriorvibhu:
This is only for N986U1 or N986U (this needs to be flashed with U1). Please find a relevant thread for 9860
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] TheROMGuy:
I Apologize. The instructions were unclear. I've been in the rooting/rom flashing scene for a while now. But I've always had unlocked devices before now. Just a new concept I'm trying to learn.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] warriorvibhu:
No worries, I will see how I can modify the instructions to make it clear.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] warriorvibhu:

[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] warriorvibhu:

I saw exynos got beta 4 : /
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] TuxPenguin98:
Is there a way to do this for SM-N981U? The original Note 20 5G not the Ultra. Also if there is, do I have to have my device paid in full and unlocked from AT&T for it to work?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] warriorvibhu:
The process should be exactly the same except for the firmwares yours would be for SM-981... So basically change your firmware to SM-981U1.. Then start the process but you have to find your own firmware and beta builds and or register for beta in Samsung Members app. The link on this post won't work for your device, you have to find the relevant beta registration link for your device. So as I said the process to flash would be same but files and link should be for your device.

Your phone is a SM-N986B... this beta is for SM-N986U/U1 models.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] warriorvibhu:
Thank you.. Exactly what you said

The title itself says for what phone it is. If you can't spend time reading that I would suggest do not do any manual upgrades because if something goes wrong God knows how many threads you would need to read so if reading is not your thing don't do it.

I have just downgraded from manually flashing beta 3 on Verizon back to J8 stock firmware. was there a specific reason why someone earlier mentioned to flash ITIB instead?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] warriorvibhu:
Not sure if i follow. Can you please explain a bit more what is J8?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] riveralc:
It is the latest Verizon version.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] warriorvibhu:
As far as I know, if you are downgrading unless you want to flash back the Beta version it shouldn't matter which version you downgrade to.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] riveralc:
Yeah I wanted to go back to stock and I wasn't sure so I wasn't about to find out.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] Jobudden:
Sure is taking a while to get the snapdragon version of beta 4 out geez
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] warriorvibhu:
True which makes me think if it's even coming or not because S20 is already getting its stable update.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] riveralc:
I hear that! That's why I finally went back to stock, I hate not having certified play store device which prevent certain functionalities from working.

Welp, there are now posts on Reddit stating that AT&T officially released their Note 20 Ultra Android 11 full update... But the current rumor is that T-Mobile won't release theirs until January 🙄
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] KingVekxin:
The carriers usually share a firmware typically. It's all the same build numbers 9/10
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] KingVekxin:
So if someone with an AT&T update could possibly grab the file and upload it then folks could by all means just side load it
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] warriorvibhu:
Yes and no. There are Caveats. First it depends on the format the update is found if you download using FOTA link it would be a zip that should be sideloaded via ADB or an SD card update from recovery needs to be done for that the problem is Like if there is a source build number in the update you would need to flash that build in Odin first which is a challenge coz ATT does not publish its firmwares so for the same reason we can't download the stable ATT version using Frija. If an Odin flash able version of Stable Android 11 is found anyone can flash that without changing the build numbers as required with FOTA updates.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] Aurien:
when the beta 4 or the stable version of android 11 comes out?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] NippleSauce:
Samsung announced a full release delay the other day... So if I had to guess, it probably won't release until the end of January now =/ (which kinda stinks since Beta 3 has A LOT of essential things broken across the board)... Very unstable Camera app, half-broken Bixby routines that manage screen resolution and refresh rate, broken fingerprint scanner and broken Notes app and off-screen memo... Wiping cache or system data via a factory reset fixes the problems for about one day, lol. Faced them all again just a day after my reset =l.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] NippleSauce:
This new website is kinda annoying lol. It posted my response twice for no reason using the mobile version. Beware of that possibility, phone users!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] warriorvibhu:
After ATT, Verizon, T-Mob and Sprint have also started pushing stable One UI 3.0 / Android 11 update. It is available on Frija, SamFw tools (For TMB and SPR) but this one is only for carrier locked devices so SM-N986U only. I believe U1 version should be on its way soon too.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] Jobudden:
So these should work for me Verizon device then? But I have to roll back to my original Verizon software or how does that work?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] warriorvibhu:
What software are you on and is your device showing to be U1 or U.

Can you share the software information page of your phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] Jobudden:
You help me load this remember :ROFLMAO: I know it's hard cause you helped a lot of people also it's U1
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] warriorvibhu:
Sorry for late reply. I suggest let's wait and check Frija for Verizon Android 11.it wasn't published when I checked few hours back. Just grab that one and flash in Odin use Home_CSC and your data will be fine..
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] Jobudden:
Good deal. Thanks bro
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] adj998:
Any luck on Frija? I keep getting error 102 no matter how I enter it, even for other firmwares on verizon
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] warriorvibhu:
No I am getting error too, even on other tools it's showing error. While SM-N986U1 with VZW (csc) doesn't throw any errors but that is still on Android Q.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] adj998:
That's too bad. Hopefully tonight or tomorrow lol
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] Haunt3r:
So random question, I flashed the u1 firmware over my 986u, can I download the 986u 3.0 and flash it over top of u1 without issue? I'm sure it's been answered somewhere but I cannot locate it :(
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] warriorvibhu:
Yes, just take care of the carrier for which your phone came packed with like if yours was tmobile U then download 986 U 3.0 for tmob and flash it. If it was AT&T, good lick finding that download as that won't be published and as you must have guessed from above posts Verizon one isn't available for download yet on Frija and other tools. So you are in lick if you were 986U with TMB or SPR csc (may be some others too like TMK, I haven't checked those yet)
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] Haunt3r:
Luckily I'm T-Mobile. I'm a little agitated that Samsung didn't push the unlocked version first. You would think they would have.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] warriorvibhu:
Awesome then download using Frija and use Home_CSC when choosing files to flash in Odin and you should be Golden, just that your device will be back to TMB stock like bootscreen,.. splash screen and bloatware from the carrier.

Yeah one would think they should have pushed for unlocked variants given the fact that Betas were for unlocked devices. I guess we unlocked ones are Guinea Pigs for them to use us for testing and give a finished product to carriers first. Smh
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] Michael in ATL:
This worked quite well for me. I'd loaded the Beta3 on my Ultra TMB version, "changing" my model to SM-N986U1 temporarily.

I used Frija to download the TMB version, unzipped it, and "changed" it back to TMB/986U via the instructions above via Odin. All good.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] warriorvibhu:
Thank you for updating us. This should help a lot of people and prevent repeated questions about same thing. Cheers!!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] krishelnino:
doing this doesn't wipe any data correct ? You just followed the guide in 1st post and selected Home_CSC ?

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] warriorvibhu:
What that guy did was Odin flash, the first post is about manual sideload of beta so first be clear what you want to do? Do u have beta and you want to flash stable or do you want to flash beta if so what is your device, is it U or U1 and what firmware once you share this info i might be able to point you in right direction.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] Aurien:
where is the rom XAA/XAA/XAA?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] warriorvibhu:
If you use Frija, just type the device name SM-N986U1 and type XAA in CSC and you will get it. Note that to be able to see XAA/XAA/XAA you will need to take out your sim and then flash also flash using regular CSC file in odin and do not use home_CSC. Now restart your phone without sim. You will get XAA/XAA/XAA Rom. Also note if your device was carrier locked you can not achieve seeing XAA/XAA/XAA that is only possible for U1 devices and by doing what i said above.
