[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Sysop_PNW:
CSC doesn't change with the firmware files, I'm sure there's a way to do it with some special files in Odin. The easiest way, would be to downgrade and change CSC with the samfirm tool, should work.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] peacey8:
You can't sign up for beta on Canadian phone even if you flash XAA firmware, you have to download the beta manually.

Also, you can't change the fourth CSC value to XAA because that value is set by the firmware, which you cannot modify unless you are rooted, which is not possible on North American phones. SamFW can only change the first 3 CSC values that you see, and this won't allow you to sign up for beta.

Your only option is to download each beta update manually and flash manually each time. Then when beta is done and OneUI 6 is released for Canadian firmware, you can flash Canadian firmware back to get normal updates on Canadian stream.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Sysop_PNW:
I was able to change the 4th CSC with SamFW to XAA on a North America variant, on the factory firmware.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] peacey8:
You're using a US phone, not a Canadian one. So of course it will change to XAA which is what's set by your firmware. You can't change it from XAC to XAA, or XAA to XAC however, which is what the other guy wants to do.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Sysop_PNW:
I didn't know the Canadian phone was any different from the US variants. Thank you for explaining.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] chloeleedow:
It says it fails on mine too mate but still works and changes after a reboot although mine is international not US maybe you need different csc file or firmware sorry don't know much about US varient to help
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] MariusKv:
Same for me. Works but it says fail
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] chloeleedow:
Sorry didn't see other comments till I commented lol. Feel like others have changed Canada to rest of north America somewhere through this thread 🤔 I could be wrong though. Last CSC in software info doesn't affect anything it's not changeable for any of us. First csc is the active one second and third are sim based and 4th is product code set from factory and doesn't change where your phone or Samsung thinks it is that much I do know 😊
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Hashim Ali Awan:
I really appreciate all the info. I tried flashing it manually, but it failed around the 44% mark. I'm not sure why it's failing. I am on the last August build, so you think that is the problem?
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] losoollenos:
Friend, why don't you take the slightest effort to read a little.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Hashim Ali Awan:
Hi, I saw that on the very first page. But the s23+ was able to upgrade from AWGH build to the one ui beta.

Hence I thought maybe it'll work.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] HamZusGh:
Hello i give u steps to do it on your phone like i do it on my W version soo before that do a full backup use smart switch if u want

you have to download U1 XAA FIRMWARE with july securty patch: https://samfw.com/firmware/SM-S918U1/XAA/S918U1UES1AWFD

download odin 3.13 patched version: https://xdaforums.com/attachments/odin3-v3-13-1_3b_patched-zip.5158499/

now on odin use csc come with the firmware dont use home csc

when installation success go to Developer options and enable USB debugging.

then sideload your U1 beta version

hope that can help you and sorry for my english
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Hashim Ali Awan:
I got the beta on the phone. Thank you so much everyone!
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] erkin13:
Hi, I have a Canadian model as well. What exactly did you do to get the beta? Did you first flash U1 XAA FIRMWARE with the July security patch and then beta?
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] lukygajza:
Pleeeease someone from Germany upload 911B version!!!!!!!
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] MariusKv:
The beta ?
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] lukygajza:
Of course beta
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] MariusKv:
Check page number one
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] lukygajza:
Am I blind or what? There is no file for S23 911B on the whole internet you see something i do not?
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] MariusKv:

[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] MariusKv:

Tipster: One UI 6 Beta 2 release for Galaxy S23 is delayed

About three weeks back, Samsung started its Android 14 Beta Program for the Galaxy S23 series and released the first Beta firmware. Previously, it was rumored that the One UI 6 Beta 2 will release on August 29, but a trusted tipster today revealed that there’s a delay in the rollout. IceUniverse...

www.sammyfans.com
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] chloeleedow:
It is when it's released its just not out for your model or the plus which is 916b (my phone) so there is a few of us waiting for it to come out then it will end up here when it does, well hopefully samsung are doing it bit strange this year ultra is only one to have gotten in weeks ahead of others think they all got it the same time last year, well I certainly don't remember waiting and I had plus model then too.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] chloeleedow:
Sounds like a new goodlock might be out for some regions too might address some people with beta for one ui 6. They updated goodlock very quickly for last beta this year is a mess 😂

New Good Lock update rolling out to address lags on One UI 6 Beta firmware

Samsung starts rolling out the new Good Lock app update to the Galaxy S23 series. The latest release mainly focuses on fixing bugs occurring on models running the One UI 6 Beta. You can look for the new Good Lock app update on your Galaxy S23’s official app store. The new release dropped just...

[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Adam1906KSC:
Yes this year is joke, I'm beta tester every year from galaxy S10 and this year is big mess with software
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] MariusKv:
Delay delay delay
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] ^^rac:
Yep, me too, we have always been together going through the BETAS. This year its a bit of a mess....
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] sandeshnl:
Same, I've been testing betas for as lonong as they exist, but this is the first time I actually went back to the official software. Beta testing is supposed to come with frequent updates.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] AllAboutTech:
there are so many problems with Samsung in general, not only regarding betas..like:

1. they are not predictible in terms of updates /firmwares or beta, never. They should learn from Apple

2. they are having different SoC for different regions, which sucks. Again, they shall learn from Apple

3. they are launching firmwares and betas based on regions. But Apple is doing this world wide which means respect for the customer.

Watch 5 Pro Beta is just in US and China, but us from EU when we paid 500EUR for the watch, even more as in US or China, why we are disregarded?

the same with every phone from EU (except Germany) beside the fact that they are more expensive than in US and China.

there is no surprise customers are dropping Samsung and buying Apple. they are first feel respected.

and by the way before starting the hate to me, I had every Galaxy from S5 and every Note from N8

now i have S23 Ultra and Z Fold 4 and a 14 Pro Max..
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Adam1906KSC:
Samsung China officially confirm OneUi Beta 6 will be launched 31st August
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] giampito70:
Excuse me for a stupid question...is it possible to flash s911u1 firmware on european s911b? By changing csc to XAA and previously flash flashing the Usa firmware?
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Adam1906KSC:
No, you will brick your phone
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] giampito70:
Thank you for explanation
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] JL94x4:
Does this mean the BETA 2 in the UK won't be released on the 29th? (today)
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Adam1906KSC:
Yes because with experience last few years beta 2 was always come the same time to participate country Poland, India, UK, China
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] chloeleedow:
Your English was great bro! Well Put, short and concise!
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Adam1906KSC:
Today morning China confirm beta program, now is post in UK Samsung community
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] chloeleedow:
Just when we thought they had their act together after last year they are slipping hard this round 🤬😂
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Ubimo:
Beta2 is delayed a few days IceUniverse just claimed on Twitter:

https://twitter.com/i/web/status/1696340091143406078

and https://www.sammobile.com/news/samsung-one-ui-6-0-beta-2-update-release-delayed/
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] chloeleedow:
The S24 will be out before beta for all 23s this rate 🤣
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] peacey8:
Better they fix the bugs than release buggy software... I don't see any problem with delaying until bugs are fixed or we will just report the same bugs again in beta 2.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] enij:
This.

If Samsung release a buggy fw, they complain that's it's buggy, if Samsung delay it, they complain it's late. Like Samsung owe them something.

Samsung is not obligated to release the beta and to respect a schedule. If you're not happy with the current state of the beta nor the timing, go back to stable. Otherwise say thanks and wait.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] DHARQAXIAN:
E X A C T L Y !!!!
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] DHARQAXIAN:
"If Samsung release a buggy fw" <--- this is the whole point of Beta Testing, to get User Feedback.

"if Samsung delay it, they complain it's late." <--- If you set a precedence it will be expected.

"Samsung is not obligated to release the beta and to respect a schedule" <--- Agreed but then why set expectations?

This is just a different point of view. Samsung has deviated from past Beta Program releases so people are going to ask WTF!! when no information is forthcoming to advise or inform of any delays. Is that too much to expect?
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] peacey8:
No, the whole point of beta testing is to get user feedback about bugs they could NOT catch. Not about bugs they already know.

What is the point of releasing a firmware with bugs they already know about? That defeats the whole purpose of beta testing.

They should fix the bugs they know about then release the next beta for further testing so we can catch bugs they did not encounter in their small-scale testing.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] DHARQAXIAN:
I saw in a post or article that the reason Beta 2 is delayed is due to testing in Korea found that the Beta itself was not fit for release. In this case, Samsung has informed a body of people who passed this on. How true this is, I can not confirm but it does answer the question of WTF!! Samsung!!
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] DHARQAXIAN:
WE are saying the same thing but looking at it from different angles. YES!! they release the Beta for User Feedback of bugs that have slipped through their testing, which is the purpose of Public Beta Testing. We are not in disagreement.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] ElfStone:
Samsung can delay as much as they consider it is needed, not sure why everyone is complaining about the program being messy this time around!

When we get the next beta, we get it... just be happy you will get it.

Very hard to keep everyone happy...
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] ^^rac:
I Suppose they can do that

The problem is their communication sucks. The last 3 weeks no one really knew if the Beta was out. Not out. For which models, which regions etc. And we really still dont know.....

The previous comment made suggesting Apple always spot on I can agree with. They provide a launch date and it's done.... Samsung can take some pointers in that regard.

We are still the community that "buys" their devices...
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] ElfStone:
You don't buy their devices because of the beta program, do you?

I am enrolled in the iOS 17 Public Beta o my iPhone 14 Pro. It doesn't feel like a beta... Boring and it sucks.

I LOVE Samsung's beta programs and the fact that I have to sideload them... The whole package.

Want boring beta programs, buy an iPhone!
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] mrjester:
This might be a dumb question.... but what's the CSC when you are in the UK and bought directly from Samsung? I've tried Frija and it just keeps saying there's error 102 no firmware found (for SM-918B, OXM)??
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] jaseman:
The people who "want", or "desire" to get the latest BETA software don't want to truly test anything to squash bugs...what they want is the latest greatest Android version on their phones for bragging rights! Then when they experience BUGS due to the fact that this is BETA software...they CRY! Then when the BETA is delayed so that Samsung (or any OEM) can squash the discovered bugs...they cry because it is delayed. Grow up people! Just stay on stable until it is released and be glad there are people willing to put up with the fluffy crappola so that most of us can enjoy relatively smooth sailing. SMH
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] fenie:
BTB or BTE are both British CSC and contain OXM.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] chloeleedow:
I'm starting to agree but I could never leave the android OS I enjoy doing what I want with my expensive device not locked down by Apple unless jail broken just to do stuff we do all day every day, customise customise 😍

Some with root which is more or less same as jail broken, but we can do a lot without it. I've been very disappointed with the lack of real improvements between models they are getting very slack. Samsung used to be quiet innovative and the next model would be super exciting to look forward to. I can't even tell tell the difference in day to day usage of my 23+ to my s22+ 😂 maybe a little bit more efficient on battery and camera might have improved but I don't do enough using the normal camera to care except the odd sunset or sunrise really. But I think a lot of phones are that way now. We have kind of reached a plateau. Bigger batteries and faster charging is what I want to see like some Chinese brands doing 100w or more now 50 percent in 5 minutes I saw recently was 1 plus something phone I think.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] chloeleedow:
I've stayed on beta every year from start to finish never once went back to stable, I live for this **** and yes it is because I do want the latest Android Right bloody Meoww but ill take the bugs I don't care it's never bothered me and if my country was supported I'd report them and participate properly but alas samsung doesn't think mine or many other places are worthy lol it should be open to anyone anywhere who wants it and if it causes mass issues world wide who cares people know what to expect.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] chloeleedow:
All snapdragon this year so might work but doubt odin would allow it. Maybe a soft brick wouldn't be a paperweight hardware is all the same. But I wouldn't try 😂

you mean only one beta then official ?
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] MariusKv:
Dont know
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] ElfStone:
No, it won't be only one BETA, 100%!
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Anhlatuananh:
i know that weir when they said that samsung will launch one ui 6 not one ui 6 beta 2 (or 1)
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] ^^rac:
Thats way extreme, seeing that we dont even have BETA 2 yet..... (With the reports of bugs and stuff) Cant believe how they will achieve that. thats just a bit more then a month away....
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] DHARQAXIAN:
The best scenario is that we [ UK. Poland, etc.] get Beta 2 with the fixes from Beta 1 - hopefully, Goodlock works in all areas, and we bypass OTA Beta 1.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] ^^rac:
Yes, i know they usually go to around BETA 5 before they go to stable release. So im almost sure BETA 2 will be a huge improvement. Did you guys (UK Poland etc) Receive August update now?
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Adam1906KSC:
Str

UK we received today August update also poland received as well
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] ^^rac:
Okay thats good news...... So hopefully BETA 2 will come out shorlty...... Holding thumbs

Samsung’s first One UI 6 Beta update is available for Galaxy S23 series users in select countries. Following the initial rollout of Beta 1, it has been noticed that the system animations are broken. And a new leak reveals that One UI 6 Beta 2 might not fix the unpolished animations. Reputed...

[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] zSyntex:
We're expecting more Betas before the Stable release, so probably another 1 month or 2 at least.

MAYBE 2 more, if that, before Oct. unless that timeline is delayed.

Portugal receiving August update...View attachment 5990223
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] zSyntex:
It's not the related thread here ;)
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] ^^rac:
It helps... as we now know that Europe is getting AUG update... almost certain for BETA 2 this will be required...
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] ElfStone:
What will be required for beta 2? We are already on the August patch since beta 1.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] zSyntex:
It's wrong. August's patch is already on Beta 1, so this update brings nothing new to Beta user.

Remember that EUX got this update 2 weeks late than the others market.

This could be different if it was the September's patch so the Beta 2 should follow this release.

Exactly this
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] cosimo66:
Hello everyone, has Samsung suspended the release of beta2?
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] enij:
Actually, I think he's right.

My bet is that beta 2 has been ready for a while but Samsung is waiting for all second wave countries to get august patch to release it, because THEY need Aug build to flash it, like we needed july.

If they release the second beta in the next few days, it will be the proof that they were waiting for it. Samsung china said that it is expected to come out tomorrow, probably they knew Aug stable update was out today.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] zSyntex:
I've just said that Beta 1 already include August's Patch.

So you could just flash Beta 1 and Beta 2 in order to get the same bootloader/base (if it was changed, otherwise is useless).

These steps are required for the one who come from stable only.

Probably if the Beta will come next week, it could bring September's Patch.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] zSyntex:
Samsung never "explicit" say when it should come.

Leakers and Support page suggest that it coincide with the expansion of the Beta's release in other countries (next week)
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] dr.ketan:
Today India received GPAY update and fixed activating bank issue on OneUI 6.0 beta

Seems OneUI 6.0 is closer in India
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] ElfStone:
This doesn't make any sense.

Beta 2 is coming in a few days, it doesn't prove anything :-))
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] enij:
We'll verify if my theory is correct with the build date than ;)
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] rikipy:
still no beta for S23 base model :(
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] zSyntex:
Probably the Beta was build on August. We still don't know if it'll come with August or September patch in advance.

[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] dr.ketan:
No, simply replace .bin text with .zip
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] BredzProh:
I think it depends on the status in Samsung Members. When I'd update manually to the beta, Samsung Members would tell me you have beta but then it wouldn't connect to the server.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] matteo0026:
Hi everyone, until I wait the link for the S916B, I need to get a screenshot from the app Netmonster to know if in 5G NSA the NR ARFCN is shown. Until Android 13, no, I hope in 14 something changes.

Hopefully there is an option.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] D4XT3R:
I woke up to this great news, ran to my pc to find out the link is dead. I don't remember this happening on my s20 when it got betas.

anyone knows if it's a Samsung problem or they took the link down, or if it's a me problem with my browser or something.
