What a messy model configuration this year lol all snapdragons and all exynos should have the exact same model codes except only 1 to differentiate between chipsets and one on the end of snapdragon models with locked bootloaders should be L on the end for locked or something 😂 there's like 5 or more variants globally so stupid lol
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Fuzzy13:
So what's the consensus so far? Liking it? Worth the update? Having to downgrade and wipe the device is off-putting not knowing what the update is like and potential issues.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] vboyz104:
Have OUI 5 on my GS22U and so far very happy with the performance, given it's beta, the software is very responsive and fast.

Day 2 running the s908U version. It wiped mine for some reason but I'd rather wipe anyway to get a clean install. That being said not killing it in the sot field then again I have everything wide open 🤣

Does anyone get notification sounds but have no notifications
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] skylinegtr116:
S908U link won't work even on Chrome. Getting these errors

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I'm on the att S908U
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] AVISHOR:
I found more links. And there is also a proper link to the model s908u

Just be careful please, the process wiped out my device,

Luckily I backed everything up before

There is another problem (or maybe it's a feature)

The display in the settings will be split

This can be fixed by changing the screen resolution

December bud sorry for late reply. It's basically everywhere now this firmware but India got it first but being OXM it makes no difference which country you grab it from your country and CSC will be supported if your current firmware was OXM I'm in Australia but I changed to India csc for call recording and faster updates we are normally in the middle in Australia with firmware updates Mexico and other further South American countries seem even slower poor souls but no really has to wait for OTA as long as you a comfortable with flashing it yourself. Some like to wait for their OTA's I guess I don't I want the latest firmware soon as it drops lol 😂 I wouldn't be surprised if we get a second December firmware update or it could be January on its way, not why they call it the latest months patch when the firmware is almost always built right as the end of the last month and tends to drop 2 weeks into the current month claiming to be the latest security not sure how when its built so long before it is released lol but take their word for it 🤥 haha next firmware might even be one ui 5.1 says major update although surely they'd be saving that for the s23s 🤷‍♂️ I can't work out samsung anymore it doesn't seem to stick to a regular way of doing things it's always changing.

[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Root_Admin:
Edit/update: I figured it out--it was 3 things: cable/invalid MD5 CRCs/issue with phone itself...but all good here, just took more time than I thought it would.

Hey, so back in October, I sideloaded one UI 5 Beta 5, and since then my S22 Ultra will not update telling me I have 'latest' software, which I know is wrong because date of security update is Oct 1, 2022.

I have tried to sideload later images/ROMs/builds to no avail as verification process hangs at 0%.

Tried multiple cables USB-C>>USB-A to no avail...standard ADB commands work fine.

Without backing up my 60GB of data on phone and doing a factory reset after, do I have an alternative option without rooting?

Phone is T-Mobile carrier-locked S22 Ultra SM-S908U.

Build S908USQU2BVJA installed currently, and I use Bitfrost to download most current, which is based on bootloader 2.

I've done plenty of beta-testing but 99% of it on software that runs on PC platform, and UNIX to a degree, so my expertise on this falls short.

To be sure it's not USB cable I've ordered new Samsung USB-C>>USB-A, and should receive by 1/18/2023.

Any ideas are very-much appreciated...thanks.

[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Muhammad0222:
Is this thread will be for one ui 6 also or it will be another one?
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Adam1906KSC:
I think when OneUi 6 beta go live thread will be created in Galaxy S23 forum like every year
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Muhammad0222:
We r here for S22U not 23😊
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] DaOldMan:
There will be probably a new thread. No logic mixing old betas with new ones.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] moneyomm412:
the download links are not working for me. anyone else?
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] DaOldMan:
You are in a wrong thread. Those are betas from a year ago for OneUI 5.0. Of course the links don't work anymore.

Find the new thread with betas for OneUI 6.0 with working links instead.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] zwenchao_1989:
The HK S90x0 has OneUI5.0 Beta
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] syles:
OK If you update one5. You must flash AVF7 build. Then sideload beta update.zip.

I have another small question.

beta2 can ota？
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Kinds06:
Is the beta already available? if so is it possible to have a link?
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] syedtahir16:
Any link?
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] vitaminme:
same here!! waiting as well.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] pahlerc1:
Just flashed for S22 Ultra for SM908U1 via PC and ADB ---> worked like a charm on the first go! Downloaded from link in this thread, followed guide provided a link in this thread for flashing update.zip via PC ADB!

Thanks for this! Members app said the beta was full and I wanted to give Android 13 a go! I don't use One UI, I am a big Nova Launcher user, but I just wanted to see the new changes, improvements and be on Android 13. I miss having a Pixel but the hardware in Samsung is top notch and Google decided to make a mid tier phone after the Pixel 3XL and I wasn't a fan. I miss the simple UI, but Samsung has done a good job of getting monthly Android security updates out and i am able to either disable or remove any bloatware via ADB.

Thanks again for this! Hope this stays updated with the next beta updates and links to stay updated for the final beta and then receive the OTA for the stable version!
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Kris_b1104:
Did you lose all your data and start from scratch?
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] pahlerc1:
Nope! Similiar to when i flashed the beta android update from google for pixel devices. it just flashes over top the previous software like a normal update. if you run into battery drain or lag or other issues then you can wipe/reset to probably remove those issues. but initial flash does not wipe
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Kris_b1104:
That's weird, but people on SM-S908U sideload the Beta via ADB, they lose data. But you are saying that U1 doesn't lose data when sideloading.

Also, flashing firmware via ODIN is different from sideloading via ADB. You basically installed the update.zip file with ADB right? Not flash a firmware with ODIN.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] pahlerc1:
Phew well I am happy i didn't lose data. That's correct, I am in US with Unlocked S22 Ultra on VZW, SM908U1, sideloaded/installed/flashed the update.zip via ADB and did not lose data. I did not use ODIN, i have never used ODIN and always used adb from previous phones so i preferred going that route.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Kris_b1104:
Thanks.

It seems people on U1 do not lose data, while people on U do lose data. It must be a carrier thing.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] armyvet66629:
Can I flash the 980u beta file to my locked att s22 ultra?
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] bignazpwns:
Anyone on Verizon flash the beta and not have the data wiped?

SM-908U
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] armyvet66629:
Did you ever get it working? Same for me
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] antisocialbratt:
First time regretting having a snapdragon phone. I actually didn't knew that Samsung decided to grace our country woth Snapdragon this year instead of usual Exynos like last 5 years. I got to know when i was trying to flash exynos beta and failed 4 times and looked up the error. Glad samsung has built some kinda protection which prevented the device from bricking due to wrong firmware. Kudos to them.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] JDBarlow:
Yes. It's 908U 😉
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] armyvet66629:
According to the exynos thread, alliance app can only be used with exynos. Soo I'll have to flash it via adb. Fuuuuuuuuunnnnn
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Drakon911:
Yes! Driving me bonkers trying to figure out what's causing it.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] readymarc:
Not true. I used it on my unlocked snapdragon U1
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] armyvet66629:
I didn't see the sideload option in the app, att s22 ultra
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] syles:
I think locked can't be updated. ATT very BADo_O
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] JDBarlow:
Pretty simple to do as long as you have ADB working. Power off then Hold volume up and power button together once you see Samsung splash count 1, 2, and then let go of power button holding volume up until it boots to recovery. Choose apply update from ADB. With phone plugged into PC type adb sideload and you can drag and drop the update.zip file from its destination to your terminal window. Hit enter and let her rip!! Reboot and enjoy beta!!
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] j3ffm1ll:
I also used the alliance app to flash my snapdragon unlocked variant and it worked marvelously and I didn't lose any data!
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] JDBarlow:
Untrue I'm locked to ATT you just need to know how to use ADB
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] syles:
OK ths:LOL:
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Kris_b1104:
But did you lose data though?
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] JDBarlow:
Yes I did and then restored my data
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] cogelindo:
I already can sideload the beta on my U1 s22u
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] cogelindo:
someone found a way to view the "data" folder?
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] kkw620:
The hyperlink for S22U(SM-G908N) is linking to wrong file which is for SM-G901N.

It must be replaced to (http://fota-secure-dn.ospserver.net...55:39&px-unum=&px-nb=UGtezEZ854jbmFcvWGxLEA==)
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] 1dopewrx05:
This is a known documented bug. Unfortunately there's no sure 100% fix but me and a few others have resolved this issue by booting to bootloader, clear cache 3 times then repair apps and let it do it's thing. After it reboots set your phone to vibrate via quick toggle then you're free to set volume to whatever you want. This stopped the god awful random notification sounds throughout the night for me, hasn't happened once in 2 days now. Good luck
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] P-KAY 2323:
If that's the case, it might just be pinging for a crash report being collected or something. Did anyone check notification history, or does nice shot work?
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] AhmedMomen:
Quick update on the international snapdragon SM-S90XE beta situation, it seems like we're going to skip the beta 1 build that every other model got, since development has continued on the software for both E models and B models, i found a new ZVH6 build using sherlock in CheckFirm.

So, we are probably going to go right to beta 2 whenever it comes out in India.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] P-KAY 2323:
That's what happened last year. Wouldn't surprise me if they did it again. Cheap as it may be.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] AleXXander87:
Anyone knows how to fix the Expert RAW app now? It crashes the moment you try and take a picture.. tried reinstall with no luck looks like it does not suport Android 13 yet? Anyone can confirm please? Cheers
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] P-KAY 2323:
Probably not supported. It took a few months after stable was available for Goodluck to work on A12 stable. Expert raw being a non system app, I don't imagine it would have been updated to work on A13.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] sabrdawg:
Agreed!!!
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Nit3H8wk:
I got an error this device has an unexpected build date friday july 22 2022. (Update) I got it to work by downgrading back to the july patch. Just got my s22 ultra unlocked from best buy today.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] armyvet66629:
Got adb working, but when I downloaded the smg908u for my att s22, renamed it "update.zip", and put it in the proper location, the screen says "cannot read update.zip" when I execute the command. Damn it
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] syles:
AVG6？Use alliance sideload
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] armyvet66629:
When I tried it, it didn't give me the option to sideload
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] butchieboy:
Some say Alliance only works on Exynos or U1. Others on Snapdragon U have tried and it doesn't work
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] syles:
Alliance open konx and admin. Then find software update Purple and white icon.Open activites find admin.main.AdminMainActivity click it find open button.You can find sideload
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] JDBarlow:
When you say in the proper location what are you referring to?

All you have to do is drag and drop the update.zip file from your windows explorer to the terminal window where you're typing the command to sideload
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] armyvet66629:
No ****?
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] JDBarlow:
Are you meaning that in a derogatory manner or like you didn't know 😏
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] armyvet66629:
I didn't knooowwwww lol
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] JDBarlow:
Okay lol

I was like man I'm just trying to help 😩

Makes it so much easier than trying to type out the damn location. Too much room for error 😁
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] JDBarlow:
Yea it doesn't work for me either 😒
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] butchieboy:
Anyone tried multi window
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Hardeep.SN:
Can we install S908U1 One UI 5 beta on S908E
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] DaOldMan:
Of course not. The patcher checks your installed rom. Do you think the u1 rom is the same as E rom? Of course not. It will abort immediately.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] armyvet66629:
Still didn't work. I'm probably ****ing up the path in the system variables lol
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] sabrdawg:
Maybe you ended up with a corrupt download. Try redownloading the file :)
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] sabrdawg:
Another thought that came to mind was be sure you're opening the command window within the same folder you have the update.zip. Then, it should be able to locate it.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] butchieboy:
On device are you pressing power once you selected update with adb? Then at bottom of device screen it should say.."now send package" then type adb sideload update.zip

@P-KAY 2323

@emiliauh captured the AVF7 to ZVH4 beta link for the US unlocked Galaxy S22 (SM-S901U1).

===

I, on behalf of the portal team, also maintain a dedicated repo for One UI 5/Android 13 for Samsung Galaxy devices. If you guys tag me after capturing any new beta URL, it would be easier for me update the index, which in turn benefits the whole community.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] P-KAY 2323:
Sounds great to me! Tag me too I guess, so that I don't have to check on every post.

PS: I'll update the links tomorrow. Super tiresome day today.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] emike31088:
If you did the most recent Android 12 update with August security patch the sideload won't work. This happened to me. I had to downgrade through Odin my phone then sideload worked.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] butchieboy:
Got it working couple days ago thanks
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Lurien:
Hows beta running for you guys? Would you recommend running it as daily driver? Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] armyvet66629:
I got it working. Apparently it wouldn't read a file over 3gb? So I had to adjust the "large address awareness" setting to read files over 3gb, and that worked. That fixed the "cannot read update.zip" error.

Currently on the 5.0 beta. Samsung messages isn't working though so I have to use Google messages. So far so good 👍 thanks for reaching out
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] The Root:
It's pretty great out of the box. I know there's gonna be a horse**** build with a hotfix soon enough though.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] armyvet66629:
Alright, I don't want to be one of those noobs that just comments "it worked for me"

My old ass computer couldn't read the update.zip file because it was over 3gb. The abd.exe file was only 32 bit I guess. That's how I understand it. That's why it couldn't read it even though I placed it the correct folder.

You can either use the program I've linked in this post and drop the adb.exe file in the app to convert it to 64 bit, or enable the large address awareness function in visual studios, you can Google that process. But for the lazy ass like me, here you go. Devs or mods can edit/reply this post if I've offered misinformation. just trying to help out.

After I converted the adb.exe to 64 bit, it was able to read files over 3 GBs, and it swiftly flashed the 5.0 beta to my phone. Worked for me.

Source of the zip: techpowerup.com

zip file name: laa_2_0_4.zip

[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] freibergisch:
Hi at all,

My S22U is setted with the beta at the beginning of it. It does not face any issues, but seems to be not as "fast" as with last firmware. (Fast is relative, as my phone also stuttered, was not that smooth all the days like I hoped it to be..)

My question is, how we will get updates. Via ota, or manually with odin? I do not know how it was handled by the older phones, settled back from Xiaomi for my Ultra... :)
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] FizzyAps:
for s22U u1 user you must downgrade to JULY build the adb sideload

it works 100%%%%
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] butchieboy:
There's a beta for S22+ ??
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] armyvet66629:
You must manually flash the subsequent beta updates
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] 1dopewrx05:
Nice Catch does indeed work for me and there's no notification that exists that was causing it. That was the first thing I checked since I use Nice Catch, which is a fantastic app btw anyone not using it should be.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Iain_S:
can someone put up the s22+ u or u1 version, it was released on the 8th? thanks
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] gettinwicked:
This is definitely one of the least buggy betas I've run. I've had pixels for the last several years, and some are just bad. Last year's A12 was ridiculous lol. Anyway, my phone is way snappier, a bit smoother, and the system uses a lot less RAM. I was seeing from ~3.5 to ~4.5 available on 12, now I'm getting 6-7 normally. The only bug I see is the wifi icon in the notification bar is always there, and as far as apps, good lock doesn't work (theme park does though), gpay and gsam battery monitor do not work, and I can't get Samsung pay to work either. Otherwise it's pretty great.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Lurien:
Thanks. I appreciate the feedback.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] shag_on_e:
I'm running the beta build for the S908U1 and noticing "Super Fast Charging" doesn't seem to be acting right. It initially says super fast charging in the notification panel but then reverts to "Charging". Anyone else notice this?
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] hjpaul7:
This is really specific, love the new beta but the only app that is broken for me is DoorDash Dasher app. I cannot sign in with it, constantly kicks me back to the sign in page. Tested a separate phone and it works fine. Anyone else have this?
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] armyvet66629:
It works for me. Have you tried Uninstalling and reinstalling it?
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] paniro187:
Can’t use nova launcher due recents and apps stutter a bit. Switching back to iPhone 13 Pro Max until the next bets.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] hjpaul7:
I've cleared cache, data, uninstalled and reinstalled. Just constantly kicks me back to the sign in page.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] butchieboy:
Nova working just fine for me
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] butchieboy:
Try version 7.0.57
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Slapachu420:
Yeah I think that it could be due to new version and these are part of the little bugs when a new phone comes out.

Hi i just found an article in this link

Download Samsung Android 13-based One UI 5.0 Beta builds

Samsung has started the Android 13-based One UI 5 Beta testing for the flagship Galaxy devices, starting August 2022. The Beta activity opens a way for Galaxy consumers so they can get and experience the new OS and One UI version ahead of its Stable release. The company has officially confirmed...

www.sammyfans.com

It has download link for OneUI 5 Beta for SM-908E (which is the same like U and U1)

Is it valid? anyone on SM-908E tried this?
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] DaOldMan:
There is no link for the E variant in there. Nothing to "try".
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Aizenvalt:
okay i must've misunderstood that part of the article then..

Has anybody gotten the UI Beta Update file for the S22 Ultra (SM-S908U1) after the August Update?

I am also waiting for the upload file for August update.

Seems like 908E users will get the chance to play with Android 13 with the stable update, oh well. I just hope that we'll get the stable update at the same time as other variants.

What is your source?
