Also I had W9 and went back to W7 no errorrs or reset just lots of app updates, beta is different and almost always has required fresh install because of massive ui/framework changes downgrade is will just run crap or lots of force close apps even if it works but just a monthly security downgrade I've never had issues with 😊
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] briox:
I have successfully updated to One UI beta 1, but with an issue. I must clarify that I had the August patch, so I followed the tutorial from page 1. When applying the 'adb sideload' command, I encountered the error 'cannot read.' I solved it by updating adb; it seems that it was unable to load large files. I hope that if someone faces this issue, they read this and try this alternative.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] KFCsecretservice:
You can download Orange Poland app and just buy an esim, it is like €7.

I did that, removed all the other sims from my phone, even made a Polish Samsing account and opened members app on mobile data connection (roaming) but no update.

Is the Polish beta out yet? I see it mentioned on Samsung's website but after doing the above, no beta in members app....

Another question, if I sideload like described in this thread, will I brick the knox chip and void warranty?

S23 ultra EU version, unlocked.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Darbar1701:
No you won't trip knox
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] JohnTheFarm3r:
It won't. But even if that would happen it wouldn't void warranty on EU device. EU has a special regulation for BL unlock, Knox being tripped and such. They can't refuse you an RMA based on the KNOX state or unlocked BL. Just FYI.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] KFCsecretservice:
Samsung refused me warranty a few years back on my Note 8 because I had unlocked BL. Did the law change in EU?
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Dinosaure42:
Well know I'm having a lot of issues and I want to downgrade back to one ui 5.1 is it possible?

Frija and SamMobile do not have this available. How did you find this?
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] DHARQAXIAN:
I shall try this, could be worth knowing.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] DHARQAXIAN:
You have flashed a Beta - by its nature, you will have problems. You can try to downgrade via Smart Switch, if not, Factory Reset. IN BOTH CASES, ack up ALL to Samsung Cloud and Google Drive - ALSO, yo can Back Up to Ext. USB Drive if you fear losing data.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] JohnTheFarm3r:
They can't refuse it otherwise they're basically the ones breaking the LAW. You were "scammed" basically saying.

This regulation is present for ages.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] DHARQAXIAN:
This was the situation 2020 : This new law could not only force manufacturers to support their smartphones longer, but also to unlock the bootloader of their devices once it reaches its end of life.

Yeah had the same problem, just make sure you don't back up in it, it'll override your proper backup, just uninstall it and reinstall it from the play store, you'll get your chat history back then

So still the first beta where it was beginning with?

If someone for some reason want rollback from OneUi Beta 6 to stable OneUi 5.1 is now available via smartswitch
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] JohnTheFarm3r:
@e.kabashi95 Start reading what regulation EU imposed and why they can't refuse RMA if the BL is unlocked or KNOX tripped instead of laughing on a made fact.

RMA-d bunch of devices with Knox tripped and unlocked bootloader. All accepted because the warranty is on the hardware and not software, as long as the damage is not caused by the software (like frying the motherboard while messing with Kernels and voltages and such).

But hey, I'll post you the regulations here from the government's website.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] JohnTheFarm3r:
EUR-Lex - 31999L0044 - EN

Directive 1999/44/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 25 May 1999 on certain aspects of the sale of consumer goods and associated guarantees
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] vlubosh:
i think for this is EU regulation too short, this is same situation as car software chip-tunning, when you change stock settings of ECM and something happend, the manufacturer will refuse warranty also of ECM because of software changes. The ECM is out of warranty.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] JohnTheFarm3r:
But it's not, and manufacturers can't refuse warranty on hardware because of the software (IN EU). Chip tunning and unlocked bootloader are two completely different things.

Literally sent back dozens of devices with unlocked bootloader and tripped knox even, always repaired under warranty. There is bunch of articles that will backup this very same thing.

The thing I posted is not the only thing. But it's coming from the parliament and it's obviously a valid source.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] vlubosh:
okay, will try it with my s23u when it will need to be sent for repair :)
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] JohnTheFarm3r:

you need to flash THL Home csc AWF7 first
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Adam1906KSC:
I have question I live in UK and I have S23 Ultra not brand if sideload beta 1 when beta will start in UK i will receive ota update or i need sideload again?
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] KFCsecretservice:
This is what Samsung told me in chat (screenshots). What is the exact law or where can I get information? I do want to sideload the beta but I also don't want lawsuits for warranty if this phone ever breaks.

But this about custom rom not official Samsung software like beta

I posted 2 links of the regulations a bit back in my previous replies.

The law is very clear, and it works. I personally RMA-d devices with unlocked bootloader and you'll find bunch of posts that did the same.

Also, keep in mind, OneUI 6 is not a custom ROM and has nothing to do with warranty or KNOX. You can sideload it on a locked bootloader.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] KFCsecretservice:
Thanks for the info everyone. All in all, I made a mistake with purchasing this s23 ultra... what alternative would you recommend? That has good customer service and no headache over unlocking bootloader. And I'm sorry if this is the wrong thread to ask.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] chaleta:
Hola, ¿pudiste volver sin perder nada o tuviste que usar la copia de seguridad?

**Moderator Translation**

Hi, were you able to get back without losing anything or did you have to use backup?
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] KFCsecretservice:
One last question, if I install the beta via this sideload method, once stable released, can I install it and get OTA without tripping knox or unlockimg bootloader?
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] zSyntex:
Yes, by flashing again the Stable of the OneUI 6
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] KFCsecretservice:
Flashing via ADB and not Odin or unlocking bootloader, to restore OTA and everything, right? 😁
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] readymarc:
Back to stable. Those minor bugs became a nuisance. Have fun guys.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] OnnoJ:
Why should he? He is already on AWF7! With your advise he will loose his data (if not backed-up).
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] OnnoJ:
Give more information please. At what step in the proces (post #1) does it go wrong?
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Hucast_DL:
First we need to know what is the main CSC? If the CSC is OXM he can install directly the Beta but if it's a different he must install THL (or another with OXM)
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Arif Ferdian:
Because the bigest reason he can not instal beta and already on AWF7 because the awf7 not OXM, already did that problem yesterday, and NO, His not loose the data to instal THL home csc if his already on AWF7

how do i get the problem fixed? last year the command still worked

adb sideload C:\adb\update.zip

Maybe adb isn't working well on your PC? Check if finds yours phone

Type: adb devices

and see If it shows connected showing a number.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] AllAboutTech:
dear all,

you can be on AWD1 or newer firmware BUT YOU NEED to have the CSC DBT or EUX.

otherwise it WON'T WORK.

currently downloading the AWD1 EUX firmware and then installing the BETA1 using adb sideload update.zip

thank you.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] edgarf28:
Your command is still wrong I think...

Where on your PC is the downloaded update zip? Which folder?

Your command says it's in the windows folder, I don't think so.

Update.zip is the downloaded beta 1 from here.

Should be in your downloads folder.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] louisnamu:
There is a misunderstanding here, the US S23 base model S911U1 not from AWFD to ZWH8, it's from AWGH (August patch) to ZWH8, I tried to roll back to AWFD and applied the beta update, but it occurred error that said AWGH required for the update, so I had to update to AWGH again and now it works like a charm.

***Moderator Notice***

The fighting and flaming stops now. We will not tolerate this kind of conduct from anyone. If you disagree with someone, express your opinion with RESPECT and CIVILITY. If you have a problem with something they're saying, simply report their post. DO NOT engage in conflict, as everyone involved will be found at fault.

Watch your inboxes, several of you will be receiving PMs.

If this continues, offending members may be subject to account suspension.

Further, regardless of anyone's opinion on the matter, XDA exists primarily as a "hacking and development" site. We fully support the right of users to repair their devices, unlock their bootloaders and use their devices as they see fit. Everyone must understand that they do so at their own risk because of elements like Knox which may void your device's warranty, but the fact remains that it is your right to do so, and we will NEVER prevent discussions to that effect.

While it is true that most manufacturers can and will deny warranty on the basis of software modification, this has been a hot topic as of late, which is why we are seeing increasing legislation on "right to repair" and "right to modify". Here in the US, the Magnussen-Moss Warranty Act is supposed to prohibit manufacturers from denying warranty on modified products unless they can explicitly prove that said modification directly or indirectly caused the failure. Unfortunately, they're not always consistent.

While you are welcome to discuss legality and legislation, leave politics out of it, and DO NOT be disrespectful even if you disagree.

Presently AWGH {(August)}

Was on {(July)}

Signed up for the beta as I always do when the banner drops. Enrolled,, hit Continue, got the success notification, Checked updates a week ago when I Enrolled. Nothing. Waited a couple days. Checked or updates a couple times. Nothing. Withdrew and re enrolled. Nothing. Cleared case on Members. Cleared Data. tried everything again. Nothing.

Well, yeah. Through all of it. Nothing. Then Got the update yesterday. thought I did..... It was the Aug patch.....

Anyone else experiencing this? Been using FI for years and always get the updates without fail through the normal process since I get the Unlocked flagships/

[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] jvtrigo:
I´m using it on a daily basis and no problems, only wallet doen´s work. I have sometimes a "bug" that the main screen won´t show up, so I need to swipe up to open the APP drawer and down so the main screen shows again. Really minor.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Hucast_DL:
Yeah, in resume it's stable enough for a daily use, some app are not optimized but are minimum and maybe local apps (in country). Little bugs in animations usually when you go back to home screen and when you open recent apps.

The rest, very happy with it.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] tutuco:
Thanks all. I have successfully installed the Beta.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Satir0:
I returned to OneUi 5.1, it did not meet the daily use, I lost the contactless payment, I lost the Samsung credit card application, I lost the goodlock modules, I lost the call recordings. I haven't seen any significant upside that justifies the losses from what went down.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] tutuco:
Nice to know. Is it required to erase all user data to return to OneUi 5.1?
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Satir0:
Yes, I returned the AWF7 firmware through Odin using the CSC ZTO file (no home)
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] jvtrigo:
I was expecting all of that when I updated, so for me actually all good.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Satir0:
For me it was really bad, it messed up my usability of the device, and the news of the new system are just visual, nothing relevant that compensates for the use.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] ramonakin:
Still gettin this error
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] nguyenlucky:
Bro, it's been mentioned multiple times already. What is your current multiCsc?

Check with *#1234#, if it says OWO and not OXM you need to switch to OXM first
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] ramonakin:
Idk if it's on Owo or oxm, first time doing this
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] DHARQAXIAN:
The PRism error refers to the partition, or lack thereof, on your device. Because of this ADB disconnects from the server and gives the Error 503 message.

The "Unable to use metadata to correct error" message is telling ADB that the partition is not available, hence the error, hence the disconnect.

Some devices only have an "A Partition" and the device will function perfectly well. Some have an "A/B Partition" ADB is looking for your "B Partition", but cannot find it, so you get the Prism Partition failure. One of the Devs may explain it better but this is what it looks like. I may be wrong.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Hucast_DL:
It is OWO, you must install first CSC OXM look a few pages back in the forum and you will find how to.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] nguyenlucky:
No. As I have mentioned before, Prism error is due to mismatched multiCSC. You need to be on OXM, not OWO. Samsung NEVER has A/B partition scheme to begin with.

Prism is a CSC partition.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] nguyenlucky:
@BredzProh You should add this to your OP. So many people have been flashing the S918B beta on OWO Latin American multiCSC + AWF7 firmware, resulting in Prism partition error. Prism is a CSC partition.

S91xB has three multiCSCs: OWO (Latin American), OLE (Indonesia, contains only XID CSC) and OXM (rest of world)

Prism partition error is 99% due to user being on OWO multiCSC.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] DHARQAXIAN:
As I stated, "One of the Devs may explain it better but this is what it looks like. I may be wrong." Thank You, did not see your earlier explanation.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] chloeleedow:
If your phone is a B model, Once Indian beta is out change your csc to ins to or even now actually you could change it to INS if it's OXM international model and get your call recording back. Change it using Samfw tool 😊 if that's the real deciding factor anyway it might not be but I know call recording is an important feature for lots of people. My bank app has tap an pay built in and good locl although a great asset won't bother me for a couple of months. Rather the ui and at least try the other A. 14 features
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] chloeleedow:
Others on OWO STH America firmware seem to have successfully flashed to multi OXM csc without issue once they have I've read in this thread of at least a couple so yeah perhaps this should be on first page 😊
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] chloeleedow:
No bud definitely no knox issue, poor Samsung's users always worry about knox, but definitely only trips with unlocked bootloader in Dev system menu and unofficial binary/firmware, think you can unlock and lock it again just lose data but it's been ages since I root so things may have changed. Knox won't be issue for anything we are doing here bro! 👌

Yeah cool, thanks for idea my friend I may just still do this. I actually don't think it's out in all regions yet for all models, I think India might be running behind this year atm or at least.

For and Poland and England were decided later this year so might not be live yet. Or maybe only ultra although your ultra so it may really not be available in those countries yet. Actually also I did forget to take physical sim that could have definitely caused me issue confusing my phone where I was with my Esim, VPN, Polish csc attempt I did already. Definitely trying again when home. 😂
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Arif Ferdian:
Yes, If youre not OXM. But if your oxm and already at awf7 then another problem. But if you at awf7 but not oxm, you should have to instal THL csc home.
