There are actually many regions where the beta is not available yet, it's not only India. There is the UK, Poland and China.

My best guess is that they probably want to make sure there are no major device-breaking issues with the beta before expanding it to more regions. Just to be safe.

Last year iirc, these other countries i mentioned above, along with India, got Beta 2 as their first beta. I think samsung will probably do that again this year.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] lohado:
i think we can download a .bin file like this (KOO Korea).can I use it for 908E ?did anyone try it ?
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Rh0nDeL:
I am curious as well did you try?
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] eldiego01:
no source is needed...last year I couldn't try it either because the only country that launched that beta was India...
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] XkobiX:
Don't do it

Thanks for the detailed answer
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] AhmedMomen:
Lets hope Beta 2 comes out soon enough.

If it comes out this week that would be nice.

Try to gesture navigate to recents and see what happens
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] paniro187:
THats what I’m on. If you try to gesture navigate it will freeze and one ui will force close

This morning for some reason while on a call data is not working. others on the Samsung members app are complaining of the same thing

No stutter at al
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Aizenvalt:
I think so... well i guess i'll wait for the stable update then. Just enjoy the beta from watching people on youtube xD

I wouldn't suggest. You might brick your phone and need to reflash and reset everything if you install a wrong firmware variant. Its a hassle.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] butchieboy:
In my opinion there really isn't any huge changes. I just installed it because I could and somewhat of a flashoholic...lol. So your not really missing much
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] vitaminme:
i get the same error on 908E
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] rhystagram:
then stop trying to install builds for different models.. there's no release for E yet.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] DaOldMan:
It's useless. He will not brick anything. Those are incremental patch files. They check the model and release of the base rom. It will find immidietly it's not a compatible model and rom and will abort. Waste of time.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] paniro187:
I said gesture navigate you got the three buttons at the bottom.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] tagdevil:
Any way to install the beta on the SM-S908B ?
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] butchieboy:
I did use gesture navigation to recents..changed to swipe up for recents..that's what I did. But any who..no force closes for me. Good luck
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] paniro187:
Then why does it show the buttons at the bottom on your screen recording
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] paniro187:
Do you have good lock installed? Also are you having the no data on a call issue? I’m having it and others on the Samsung members app are having that issue. I’ll say this. If I use one ui home I don’t have that issue.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] ekerbuddyeker:
Where is beta2. I'm getting impatient.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] butchieboy:
I have no reason to fake my results. Your first question was about gesture to recents. I activated it and it worked. Don't know why the navigation bar was still there. I activated swipe up for navigation and it worked. I have no issues with data.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] butchieboy:
My bad hold on...lol I got it now. You were talking about gestures not within Nova itself...lol
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] paniro187:
I figured it out. I erased good lock now it works

Last letter after the model is the sale region... B is Europe/International, U is US, U1 is US unlocked, 0 and E I am not very sure, I think E is for Latin America, Brazil, Columbia and 0 for China, maybe India gets E as well
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Tinchox17:
and why the post says "1. (SM-G906E) [Not yet available]"
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] AhmedMomen:
Yeah tbh they are sort of taking too long. It kinda defeats the purpose. If they have a strong reason for it, then im ok with the situation.

I kinda see a pattern here, For the last couple of years, it seems like samsung are starting to lessen the number of betas and work more on ironing out as much problems as possible, thus increasing the duration between beta releases.

I remember one ui 2 (android 10) beta on the S10, we got like 7 or 8 beta updates. There was a new beta each 4-5 days or something. It was quite the experience. In the S20 series beta in the following year we started to see a larger duration of time between each beta and the next one, as if they were trying to perfect the software with each beta they are releasing to make it the final beta. This kept going on each year until now. Tbh i enjoyed the S10 android 10 beta the most.

[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] mathewthegent:
Hope I can help! I went through three and a half hours of trying to get the beta installed on my S908U1 unlocked ultra and finally got it to work after trying what seemed like literally everything. I could not get the update to successfully install via adb sideload or through the alliance shield app, it would fail every time. I finally read through here enough to figure out that since I had gotten the August update, it wouldn't work. Download Odin, flash the software build previous to the August update, then go back through and try installing the Beta via adb. After I downgraded to the previous software version (as several others have figured out for us and now recommend), mine went straight through. The beta installed no problem, and I was back up and running within 10 minutes....really wish I had read more before trying for over three hours.

How to install:

With ADB:

BredzProh made a perfect tutorial on how to install the beta (+ the Updates) via ADB: Thread

Small FAQ:

Can I downgrade back to Android 12?

- Yes, a downgrade is possible, but the Phone will reset to its factory settings and your Data/Files will be gone. To downgrade, follow the normal Odin-Steps for flashing a firmware or use the emergency-flashing included in Samsung Smart Switch (PC)

Will I get automatic Updates (OTA) after flashing the beta?

- No, except it is the last (final) version. You will need to install every beta manually, including the Update to the last version. Beta updates are not connected to "normal" update, so the security updates can be sooner or later than normally. After the beta is finished and you are on the final version, you will receive further updates normally via OTA.

Crashes, Lags, Freezes, Bugs and other strange behaviors?

- Like any beta software, the OneUI Beta might be unstable. Sadly, only the people, who can register to the Beta via Samsung Members are allowed to send Feedback directly to Samsung. A factory reset is not necessary, to update to the beta, but it is recommended, if you experience severe problems with the firmware.

Can I use banking apps or streaming apps (ex. Netflix)?

- Yes and no. While the device is on a beta update, the Google certification will fail. Now it depends, how the app uses this state. Some banking apps will not work or reduce their functions on beta firmware. The same might happen with Netflix or other streaming apps.

Already 16 pages in to the "discussion." By the time everyone figures out what phone they have, if there's a beta available, where to get it, why won't it install, what's ADB, the beta will be over and we won't have actually discussed the beta itself. There really needs to be two threads. One as a How-To install (which has been covered every page for the last 16 pages), and a DISCUSSION thread.

Anyone else notice an issue with charging after beta? When using super fast charging, the phone acknowledges that it's connected to a super charger and displays that on the lock screen and in the notification panel, but moments after it's plugged in, the display changes that to just "charging" on both the lock screen and notif. panel....but I'm pretty sure the actual charging speed is unaffected and still technically super fast charging. I've only had this issue, along with my fingerprint sensor display prompt not showing on some screens when it's prompting me for biometrics...secret mode on samsung internet, in dark mode is the only consistent way of reproducing this issue for me. Hope everyone's enjoying the beta!!

S22 Ultra s908U1 unlocked
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] shag_on_e:
I'm on the first beta on the SM-S908U1 (S22 Ultra Unlocked US version) and I've noticed a few things. The photo editor will sometimes glitch when looking at a photo and won't show the editing buttons until closing and reopening the picture. Battery life isn't very great for me, especially in idle with the screen off. I'll give the BOD since I do have a lot of apps installed but it drains I believe too quickly. I've also noticed fast charging doesn't seem to be working correctly. Using a wattage monitor I've found that it will mostly stay charging at 15 watts occasionally going up to 26, but that is rare. And this is using the 45 watt block with a high speed cable. If the phone is at 20% it should be charging at max speed or at least higher than that. On the positive though it does feel very snappy for the most part.

This is interesting. I thought Samsung started blocking the rolling back of firmware a long time ago. I know you can roll back from beta builds but I was under the impression you can't roll back official builds. I wonder if it just blocks rolling back Android versions.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] j3ffm1ll:
It all depends on if the bootloader was updated... You can roll back firmware as long as it's not a new bootloader is what I have understood and experienced.

Does this mean if I have the S908W on Android 12 August 2022 patch I can sideload the U1 link via ADB and have Android 13 beta with working 5G in Canada?
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] peacey8:
Yes - you can ODIN flash U1 AVF7 then sideload the U1 update above to get One UI 5 on your Canadian S908W (I did that), but note you will factory reset when flashing U1 AVF7 (so backup & restore).

No - you won't get working 5G because the US CSC does not have the Canadian 5G bands enabled, and if you try to flash the Canadian CSC after the update, you will get a security error and have to factory reset and reflash a full ODIN firmware again. No way to enable Canadian 5G bands I'm afraid.

Actually if after the One UI 5.0 update you ODIN flash XAA CSC from U1 AVF7, you won't get a security error, but 5G will only be enabled on limited bands that US uses. Like band 13, but not bands 2, 7, and not the new fast band 78. So you might get 5G in very limited areas where Canada uses a US 5G band.

Guess I'll be waiting then. Thanks!
