See this thread over on the Samsung forums for U.S.A. where it seems that most unlocked, F946UI, phones are eligible for Beta One UI 6.0, with the notable exceptions of AT&T & Verizon, whilst the carrier locked devices, F946U, are excluded because their long carrier certification process makes them unsuitable for fast Beta roll-outs...

I'm not getting and haven't heard from anyone else in Germany getting the beta?
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5] iron@ss:
That's strange! Numerous sites have quoted Germany as a One UI 6.0 Beta recipient. Even this article from 48 hours ago...

"this beta update will also be expanded to more beta participant countries, including Poland, the UK, China, and Germany."

One UI 6.0 Beta Android 14 for Galaxy Z Fold 5/Flip 5 is available now

Samsung has introduced its latest One UI 6 skin beta update for the first foldable device, the Galaxy Z Fold 5. This indicates that Samsung may introduce a stable update to the foldable devices this time. Along with this, five more foldable devices are also eligible for the One UI beta update...

samlover.com

Having said that, I have not heard of Poland receiving it either. I have read reports that it has been delayed for China.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5] jay9e:
On a German forum people are saying the only way to get the update here right now is to flash AWI4 (INS) so I guess that information is wrong. Only India, US and UK for now it seems?
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5] iron@ss:
Samsung's own site states...

"The One UI Beta Program is open to participants in China, Germany, India, Poland, the Republic of Korea, the United Kingdom, and the United States."

Possibly it is a staggered roll-out of Beta with other countries being added in a phase 2.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5] jay9e:
That's just a general page for OneUI 6 beta. Not Fold 5 specific.

S23 had the beta on the first day in Germany for example.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5] iron@ss:
The U.K. did not get the S23 beta until the 31st August, after Germany. So perhaps it is a staged roll-out.

[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5] exocetdj:
I have managed to root the oneui 6 beta. It is a bit of a faff though lol

My process is below. If you don't know how to do any of the individual steps, it may be best waiting till I get s guide up or for stable to land

Unlocked bootloader with Beta installed

then skipped through setup to ensure oem unlocking was greyed out

then rebooted to download and flashed TWRP in a tar file in AP (img renamed as "recovery.img") with the vbmeta_disabled_R.tar in USERDATA

Rebooted to TWRP (vol up and power) and then checked adb access which was present in TWRP

adb pushed stock recovery from AW14 (used "LZ4" to unpack it to an .img file previously) & magisk.zip to internal

flashed magisk first then stock recovery as image and then rebooted. i saw that i was rooted when i installed the magisk app

No. Merely flashing the EUX firmware will not allow you to change the CSC code. You will need to change the CSC code with something like SamFW Tool...

Good day to all

I downgraded my Begonia from 12.5.8.0 Global to 12.0.8.0 Global

and after that I returned it to miui 12.5.8.0 Global

, but it didn't want to start. I flashed this phone on miui 12.5.1.0 with the "format all+Download" mode and it started successfully

, but when I restore the IMEI (no matter how), the phone stops starting showing only the "miui" logo for 3 seconds and restarts into recovery mode while it can show in red "NVDATA IS CORRUPTED" but sometimes does not show anything in recovery mode how to run stock firmware with both IMEI on it now?

[Motorola Edge 40 Pro  / Moto X40 (China)] NeilS660:
I just updated my Edge 40 Pro to July update release manually. I couldn't update via OTA update as it kept telling me the update wasn't compatible with the current version. Anyway thought this may be useful for others having the same difficultly. I take no responsibility for any loss or damage to a phone.

Assumptions are that phone is already rooted with magisk and OTA returning with error.

So step by step it's:

Download the latest rom from https://mirrors.lolinet.com/firmware/motorola/rtwo/official/RETEU/ I updated to XT2301-4_RTWO_RETEU_13_T1TR33.43-20-48-1

Extract contents of ROM Zip to a directory where adb & fastboot images are stored.

Connect Edge 40 pro to PC with USB cable and set to file transfer.

Transfer the extracted init_boot.img file onto your phone and launch the Magisk app.

Tap the install button next to Magisk, and tap 'Select and Patch a file'.

Select the init_boot.img file you have extracted and transferred, and tap 'Let's Go' to patch init_boot.img.

The patched init_boot.img will be stored in the Downloads folder of your device. Name will be something like magisk_patched-26100_6pmqd.img.

Copy the patched magisk_patched?????.img back to your PC into the same directory as the original init_boot.img.

open a CMD window and navigate to the directory with the new images and adb/fastboot

I have attached a text file with the commands to flash the new images (converted from the flashfile.xml at https://kfhost.net/flashfile) with the erase bits taken out.

Replace the reteu_magisk_patched-26100_6pmqd.img with the name of your patched init_boot.img file.

Then paste lines from the file into the CMD window. I added a pause before the final reboot as I like to check that everything has loaded as expected.

Remember to remove the erase partition lines from the flashfile to keep your data!

Hopefully this is useful for folks.

I just used your instructions to update to the latest security update without any issues at all. Felt just like what I used to do with my pixel 6. Much appreciated!
[Motorola Edge 40 Pro  / Moto X40 (China)] Knobi1205:
Your guide worked fine but it seems something didnt go right. My x40 cant connect to any WiFi. Is there any way to reflash?
[Motorola Edge 40 Pro  / Moto X40 (China)] NeilS660:
Should be able to redo it or flash the original images again in the same way. The flash file names were for the Pro, not sure if the x40 uses the exact same names.
[Motorola Edge 40 Pro  / Moto X40 (China)] Knobi1205:
Your answer came a bit to late and I tried troubleshooting by myself... 😅

I tried a factory reset, reflashing the whole image from lolinet and down- / upgranding the software. It did absolutely nothing. The 43-20-28-2 Update seems to break the WiFi on the X40.
[Motorola Edge 40 Pro  / Moto X40 (China)] IwAccet:
(warning: Chinese included)

Besides using Magisk, there is another way to get a Root.

Even though there are many distributions of XT2301-N, they all support Google's latest GKI 2.0 standard, which means you can use KernelSU to get root access.

Other than that, I recommend using Tiny-Fastboot-Script to swipe in an image from lolinet.com (if it exists) via servicefile.xml.

You can get this tool at here, but be careful to distinguish between CN and EN versions, besides, its developer originally posted this tool at bbs.ixmoe.com. Copyright: https://bbs.ixmoe.com/t/topic/17646

Theoretically, it's fine to unpack whichever files you want, just make sure their contents end up in the same directory, and then within TFS, the swipe command that preserves user data is "k".

[Motorola Edge 40 Pro  / Moto X40 (China)] mxz55:
So, if i understand it correctly, you have a problem now.. nothing, not even reverting the firmware update (downgrading), restores your WiFi functionality. Maybe try going back to RETCN as your X40 came with, and then re-do the conversion process to global ROM from scratch. Or stay on RETCN for now in case it immediately works again, and it declares there might be a WiFi issue on X40's if they run the latest RETEU fw version?

If nothing else saves you from this situation, it can be interesting to see if WiFi works (with you still being on the latest RETEU fw) after you move to LineageOS - for whatever reason, it's known to make a ton of things behave differently and work around obscure issues that happen on stock ROM's (im talking any device)
[Motorola Edge 40 Pro  / Moto X40 (China)] Knobi1205:
EDIT: for context Im using an X40 with RTEU Firmware

Sorry, my bad......

The WiFi is working right now, I downgraded back to the April Security Patch and everything works fine. Only after flashing the update it breaks. I meant to say whatever you do before flashing the X40 doesnt change the outcome. Staying on the latest July Security Patch (the 28-2 Firmware) most likely breaks the WiFi. Maybe there is a way to get it to work but I dont know how.

Sorry for the confusion. Yeah If nothing works Lineage or any Others custome ROM will be a viable option.

Brilliant thanks for that. Somehow missed and it was right there all the time.
[Motorola Edge 40 Pro  / Moto X40 (China)] Zolara:
I followed the guide and after it finished I restarted, the phone rebooted 3 times or so, and now its stuck in the motorola logo with the legend 'Powered by android' is this normal or should i troubleshoot? its not been long and it fixes i'll update later, but i just want to make sure so that i can fix it asap.

I can turn it off forcibly and i believe i can also go into fastboot mode, so nothing serious but still.

I feel heat from the phone, so it's doing something i hope. I am updating from A13 to 14 after all.

update, it's been around half an hour and still there

I also patched with magisk. Could that be an issue?

Update. I left it there while I went to work, (i plugged a fan too as it was getting a bit hot, when i got back i unplugged it and the phone started to heat up again, so i plugged it again) so it's been probably around 12 hours. Still stuck on that screen...

Guys I'm getting the very slight feeling that something went wrong. Any ideas for recovery are very much appreciated. And if I can do it without losing data even better. However as I said before I'm updating from A13 to 14, I've heard that downgrading makes **** bootloop, so yeah...

I can still access fastboot and whatnot, but I don't really know where to go from here. Heck I might even install lineage while I'm at it lmao.

Upon further research, it appears that this is called soft bricking. So if anyone knows something please share it, it's appreciated.

Update to the update, apparently I learned some nice lesson today, first i'm a dumbass, second backing up is REALLY IMPORTANT. Third it's kinda hard to recover data once you've bricked, and fourth stupidity knows no bounds.

[Motorola Edge 40 Pro  / Moto X40 (China)] NeilS660:
Sounds like you got the phone going again (which is great) and wiped the data (sorry to hear that). If the steps in the guide weren't clear enough please reply back with suggestions for improving it.
[Motorola Edge 40 Pro  / Moto X40 (China)] Zolara:
Yes I wiped everything,however I was positively surprised as the Google automatic backups saved a lot of configs of different apps, so it wasn't that tedious to set everything up again

Regarding the guide. I think it was more of an android 14 upgrade issue maybe it had something to do with root or some module, I don't really know. But I'd say my case was the exception.

Either that or I made a stupid mistake somewhere along the way. Whichever it is, I hope people get this to work properly. And just to remind any readers, ALWAYS BACKUP you can do a full backup using ADB if you own a computer (which I'm assuming you do since you are here). Even if you think you dont need to, mistakes can happen and it's always better to be safe than sorry.
[Motorola Edge 40 Pro  / Moto X40 (China)] NeilS660:
No worries, glad you got most of your data back. Key to keeping data is removing the erase partition lines from the flashfile.

[Google Pixel 6] candiesdoodle:
Hey guys i am hoping someone could through a lifeline here.

my P6 Pro has been on A13 beta versions. locked and un-rooted. like a good boy i have all the OTAs installed perfectly fine. currently its on QPR3.

Since A14 betas released, device fails to reboot everytime i hit restart after installation. i then have to hard reset it with power and vol and it comes back on to the previous state with a notifiation that installation failed. Its been like this since beta 1 all the way to recent beta 5. lots and lots of users are facing this issue. some are on A14 previous betas and some still on QPR3 like me.

https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/281290610

I suspect the installation on secondary slot is getting borked. What are my options other than unlocking and wiping? I suppose sideloading OTA will not help either as it doesnt flash both partitions in one go.

what can i do troubleshoot this from logs etc? logcat and debug report doesnt show anything usefeul.
[Google Pixel 6] V0latyle:
Hmm...locked bootloader makes it difficult. I would suggest using the Android Flash Tool or Pixel Flasher but bootloader will not accept "flash" commands unless it's unlocked. I can't seem to find any downloads for the OTA packages; if I could, sideloading one would be pretty easy.

So to that end, I found this guide which may help you capture the link used to download the package. Download it to your computer, then use ADB sideload to install it.

OTA packages, whether you install through system or ADB sideload, always install to the "other" slot.
[Google Pixel 6] candiesdoodle:
Thanks for the reply. Sideloading is an option yes, but some users are reporting that doesn't work either.

Is there a way to force sideload into the active slot and boot from that? Like the old days when there was no a/b thingy.
[Google Pixel 6] V0latyle:
No. I don't think there is a problem with your inactive slot.
[Google Pixel 6] candiesdoodle:
Thanks.

So I am on T3B3.230413.009. This is qpr3 beta.

Since 14 beta OtAs are not working I am going to try sideloading the last stable 13 (TQ3A.230805.001)

Sideloading itself should work fine many have reported.

Is there a way to boot directly into fastboot after sideload and check if the slot has switched?
[Google Pixel 6] Lughnasadh:
You don't have to check if the slot was switched. Taking an OTA or sideloading an OTA always installs the build to your inactive slot. The only time it won't is if it fails. In that case, you'll stay on your current slot.
[Google Pixel 6] V0latyle:
Caveat: Flashing the stable OTA when you're on beta will result in boot failure unless you wipe data. There is no way to go back to stable from beta without wiping data.
