That means the One Ui 6 Beta is Over and The Stable update is coming on 5 Oct
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Khalid_Basil:
Sorry for my silly question, but I'm confused and don't know what beta I'm on.

This is my software information ...

What beta should I install next?
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] ^^rac:
Yes.... On INS Firmware😁
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] ^^rac:
It's September Security patch. I just checked. After flashing ZWIC beta... I see it's now October....
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] bodomfan:
I'm already on it, but it's not saying awi1, mine is awhh
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] irancosta:
Mine is still ZWIC... 🫢👈
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] ^^rac:
That's interesting.... Be checked and cannot find anything on awhh...
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] ^^rac:
Wow latest Beta is smooth and fast. Samsung found it right this time hehe. I can see what the guys are saying regarding animations etc... Awesome stuff 😁😁

You are right 😁

Anyone knows is there a AWGJ ➝ ZWHO for S23 + model? I would love to try out the beta with my S23+
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] DefJamFight:
yes i deleted everything. I turned off motion picture recording and it's been fine since then. if I turn it back on, the program freezes.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] LippeEe:
How to download the first beta?
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] MariusKv:
Dont know if its possible, link is dead
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] RRiVEN:
You would be correct. Right now it is limited to ShieldPro users while we work out the bugs. This is why we can't have nice things.

We actively monitor for hacked versions of the app and take aggressive copyright enforcement.

[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] lsalamun:
I'm currently running ZWHO on S23 S911B, can i go with ZWI8->ZWIB then ZWIB->ZWIC?

I can see there's no ZWHO jump builds, so i'm interested if it's possible or i should wait when there's a catch of the update?

If not, the only possible method is to downgrade to AWH3 again, and the go from ZWI8 to ZWIC?

I suppose downgrade is not possible withourlt full wipe?
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] KFCsecretservice:
How is the battery life on this latest build? Beta 3 was so bad I had to go back to 5.1
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] vxxxxx15:
you can downgrade however you want, no need to wipe, just use home csc
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] lsalamun:
Isn't a wipe necessesary for AWH3 which is OneUI 5.1 i.e. android 13? I thought it could cause a soft brick...
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] nguyenlucky:
Downgrade to AWI3 with Home csc, then immediately use hardware buttons go to recovery afterwards. Sideload AWI3 to ZWIC from there.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] lsalamun:
Tried that, but couldn't get adb to work. Last time i had to have my phone booted, then allow the RSA key pop-up (i clicked remember) and then it automatically rebooted to recovery in adb mode. Now when i try to do adb devices it gets me this: adb : The term 'adb' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet.....

Of course when i try to boot the phone it opens up recovery and says can't load Android System, so i can either Wipe or try again in recovery mode.

Is it possible that there is a new RSA fingerprint which i need to authorize to use adb again?

Update: tried adb shell rm /data /system /gesture.key and it started adb daemon. Trying to sideload now.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Rapier:
It is known issue on beta 4, it's in the changelog too "motion photo is not available". Everything else works
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] lsalamun:
Update 2: Went from AWH3->ZWI8, but now i can't do ZWI8->ZWIB, it says an error about device build number, phone boots up fine etc. although only on airplane mode? What now...

Cache wipe made the 2nd sideload possible, i hope ZWIB->ZWIC will be the same, although airplane mode concerned me. I'll do a final edit once everything is done.

Update 3: Everything went well, thanks @nguyenlucky
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] rikipy:
guys Samsung add in the beta a new extra layer on the security option called autoblocker: this option block the USB connection/commands incl usb debugging (and wireless debugging) and broke the MTP option in windows (Don't worry if you accidentally activate the option and try to copy some file to your phone and your computer doesn't detect it.)
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Sysop_PNW:
This was added on the first beta, mine is still working but I keep it turned off. Maybe try to toggle it on then off again.

You won't lose your data if you follow the instructions carefully

you will be able to switch to the official / stable version without loosing your data.

Yes you can, using Alliance Shield X.

[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] dr.ketan:
I have digged this and found Samsung have removed piece of code from system, It's difficult to say samsung have deliberately removed it or get removed accidentally (bug)

Still there is option there to record call so that suggest this might be error and accidentally removed code and next beta it should get fixed. Though it can be fixed (I have tried myself and working fine) but obviously it needs system level fix and so rooted device.

But IMHO this should get back in next version.

I am sorry mate, I'm not super active on here just check for new betas probably once a week. I'll delete post now and I didn't mod the apk in Anyway just shared the version from my phone with no data. I realised the old donate version was for a select group of people but obviously didn't read clearly the beta version rules I just dived in found I could side load with it and shared it impulsively wanting to help others, it wasn't intentional to go against the wishes of the creators and I'm genuinely embarrassed as I admire you guys and that you give us samsung users such a great app for nothing all these years for non Comercial use. One again I apologise for my massive stuff up. 😔
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] chloeleedow:
I have all betas for 916b if you need them I think, will check when I get home.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] chloeleedow:
Oh you're sorted no worries! 😊
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] chloeleedow:
Sorry, I wasn't meant to post apk it was people only part of the beta. I should have directed people how to join through official thing, I just rushed to show people the good news not thinking. If it worked I'm glad but feeling like a bit of a **** about what I did now.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] chloeleedow:
On a completely new note has anyone else got usb and wifi debug greyed out in latest beta? Mine is not sure what I've done or if samsung has blocked it to stop sideload or what 😕 if anyone can offer a clue to what causes this I'm all ears cheers 😊

You must update step by step. ZWI8 -> ZWIB -> ZWIC which is the latest for now.

Previously flashed beta a while back but went back to stock, wanna try it again but see no one anywhere mentioning this AWHR build.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Sysop_PNW:
You can flash back to AWH3 with Odin, then sideload the betas. I would back everything up first though.

Why did you choose the most difficult way haha?

If you flash the Beta with ADB from an AWF7 build, you'll be fine

You didn't install the Beta, since it requires the July's Patch build (AWF7) and not the one of August
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] BredzProh:

Can you specify the build numbers you were on and the actual beta one (Settings>About phone>Software information)?
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] KeTuRr74:
I'm not sure about that as my device is EUX (France and it's also worked on stable) and this was working for S22U Beta when i did updates etc 😀

This is not a problem, just a report about peoples who use S Pay everyday to be aware of this issue before flashing

[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] alvaroja18:
I do it, and the change the CSC with the SamFw tool but, but only can change the active CSC in my phone.

Changing the original CSC of the phone is not possible with any firmware or tool (ruling out the use of root methods of course)

It's an att SM918U but I have been using the U1 firmware since there is no att logo and sound at boot. Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Sysop_PNW:
Go to settings -> about) what does it say under model?

I'm thinking you should have flashed AWGH U1 firmware with Odin patched first, then sideloaded the betas, since you are on U.

[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Sysop_PNW:
@deepnz573

No one has uploaded September directly to ZWIC for the S918B. I've seen it for the U1 model. But has not been uploaded here.

Best bet is to downgrade and sideload each beta.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Jakerooooooo:
It says SM-S918U1. That's what I did before loading the beta. The only reason I did it for the U1 instead of U was the logo on boot and the pesky carrier apps
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Sysop_PNW:
Ahh I understand now, I thought you sideloaded U1 beta updates on U firmware... I doubt that would work anyway. Yes, having the non carrier firmware eliminates the apps.

Not sure why you are having to factory reset after each update that's strange. I had to factory reset once when I tried OTA update not sideload.
