Different hardware I believe. Outside the US we don't have the mmwave hardware in our Folds. My UK Fold3 doesn't even have that weird window built into its frame.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] domineus:
Thought the hardware was the same.

If they open one ui 4 up I'll grab the link for US variants then. Hopefully

Thanks allot OP! Where am I gonna sent the donation too?

Just to be sure, this one is working for all OXM ?

And if someone can explain how to flash I'll be more happy 🤗

How to update your Samsung Galaxy smartphone and install official firmware

Follow these instructions to manually install Android updates through recovery and full firmware using Odin on Samsung Galaxy smartphones.

www.xda-developers.com

There is a section that describes how to sideload the update.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] exocetdj:
1 - rename the .bin to "update.zip"

2 - copy the zip to your adb folder on PC

3 - connect device to PC and do "adb reboot recovery"

4 - select apply update from adb when in stock recovery

5 - do "adb sideload update.zip"

the adb commands are entered in windows cmd

[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] Mr. Orange 645:
They've opened up registration for the beta in the US. I literally just registered through the Members app.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] domineus:
I haven't gotten it yet. Let me check
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] Mr. Orange 645:
If it's not on the Members home page, click on Benefits and scroll to the bottom. That's where I found it.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] domineus:
I don’t have it on benefits - my benefits page is blank. Did you grab the OTA link?
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] Mr. Orange 645:
Haven't got the OTA yet, which is weird.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] domineus:
Did you restart the phone and check ? When you do get the link can you share in the telegram group
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] Mr. Orange 645:
I thought I had the update. As soon as I registered and checked software update, it downloaded a new update. But it was just the Ocfober security patch.

I'm not sure how to grab the link. If I can without a computer, I'd be happy to do it.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] MrHomebrew:
The One UI beta is releasing in the US today so hopefully we can get a copy of that update.zip soon.

Anyone got a link to this telegram group yous keep referring to?
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] Mr. Orange 645:
If you have the factory unlocked U1, check your Samsung Members app. You may be able to register for it now. I did.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] MrHomebrew:
I am in Canada and will force switch to U1 as soon as the update.zip is captured. If I were to convert to U1 now it most likely would not show up in the members app without having a US Sim card from my understanding in the past.

You should grab the update.zip when it comes in for you.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] domineus:
I didn’t.

Also there’s some instructions to capture the ota link by using httpcanary

try that
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] domineus:
That could be my problem I have a UK sim in my fold 3
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] Mr. Orange 645:
I've installed canary. And found instructions on how to capture it with a debug report in developer options. I'll try both methods t increase my chance at snagging it.

But I still have not got the update notification. Not sure why not.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] domineus:
That’s concerning maybe it’ll take some time
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] Mr. Orange 645:
I'm wondering if installing the October update screwed it up. If so, I'll have to manually roll back with ODIN.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] domineus:
It shouldn’t have honestly. I did update on previous Samsung devices and it was fine
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] kenbrownstone:
Anyone get zip? I on Verizon version will it matter ..Never showed in my app
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] domineus:
Only unlocked models not carrier versions. In theory you should be able to convert the carrier version to unlocked version and get the update through

Use Odin to roll back? or I'm I missing an update?

The link in the main thread is for SM-F926B model, the US models are SM-F926U/U1. Altough they share the same motherboard, the rom builds do not allow you to cross flash.

US beta was released a couple of hours ago, it should not take long for someone to capture an US beta update file link

When I did this it added jar ..I used OTA update.zip....Adb sideload..why did it add jar
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] SamsungKing10:
To Sideload:

Setup ADB and Fastboot on your PC.

Download the OTA update .zip file on your PC and rename it to update.zip.

Enable USB debugging:

Go to your phone’s settings » About phone » and tap “Build number” Seven times. This will enable Developer options on your phone.

Now go to Settings » Developer options » and tick the USB debugging check box.

Connect your phone to PC.

Now open the folder where you downloaded the update.zip file and then open a command window inside the folder. To do that, do a “Shift + Right click” on any empty white space inside the folder and select “Open command window here” from the context menu.

Now issue the following command into the command window to reboot your device into recovery mode: adb reboot recovery

└ Check your phone’s screen, if it asks for “Allow USB debugging”, accept it by selecting OK/Yes.

Once in recovery mode, use Volume buttons to navigate up and down between options and Power button to select an option.

Select the “Apply update from ADB” option.

Now issue the following command to finally begin installing the OTA: adb sideload update.zip

└ This will begin the OTA installation.

Once the OTA zip is installed, the phone will auto reboot..it will take a little while for it to boot do not worry it is normal.

It's the same whether it S21 or Fold3

Ignore bit on rename file... it's not necessary. To save time, key in first 2 characters of filename then press TAB. Filename completion whether in windows or Linux is the same. Use TAB.

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] eskostar:
Hello, so I just got my Diamond about a week ago, so after setting up all my settings, rom and all that, I started adding pictures to my contacts, the problem is, I can't add pictures to a contact or even add a contact to the TF3D tab, because activesync will start making duplicates of those every time i sync with outlook. This never happened with my kaiser, so i even tried out some more roms, and i always have the same problem...

eg.

Create 1 contact, it syncs ok.

Add a picture to the same contact, active sync will create a duplicate and add a picture to the duplicate.

Try to delete any of the contacts, original or doubles, active sync will just keep cloning it till i remove the pic...

I've searched around before someone comes and flame, and i found nothing related to this issue, any idea what could be happening?:(
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Mastermnd:
Very weird. 90% of my contacts have pictures and this doesn't happen.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Blazeitup123:
are you also making a sim contact or outlook contact? are sim contatcs set to display?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] eskostar:
Outlook contact, sim contacts set not to show. It didn't happen before with my Kaiser either.

Tried creating them on outlook or on the diamond and both result in a cloning, tho for some reason, now if i try to add a picture with iContact instead of HTC Album, the picture fails to sync, but at least it doesn't double the contacts, so i found a half-solution.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Blazeitup123:
do you have WM live! messenger sync options set to sync contacts with phones contact list?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] eskostar:
A little update.

I hadn't even ran Live! on the diamond once, but I noticed that the contacts would duplicate on Outlook only when I logged in or out of my MSN.

So now I sync'd the contacts on the diamond with Live! and they don't duplicate anymore, i still can't sync pictured but at least now i don't end up with 10 contacts of the same person.

If i add a picture on an outlook contact on the pc or through Htc Album, it doubles the person, if i add a picture using iContact, it does not sync the picture but doesn't clone the contact either, so i have it +/- fixed, even tho i'll have to add a contact, let it sync to outlook and only after add a picture.
