This thread will be for sharing news, tips, help, update.zip/.bin files when/if available and discussion about the upcoming One UI 7/Android 15 Beta for Galaxy S24 series.

Current Beta Status

:

(As of 25th of July):

Beta 1 is not out yet. However, many leaks point to a release date in late July or early August, if everything goes well (Ice Universe), he mentioned we could get beta 1 next week. Rumor has it a release date on 29th of July is possible. Take these news with a pinch of salt though, as samsung is known for delaying the beta nearly every year, and for some reason no Z builds have appeared on the test server till now.

-Galaxy S24+ (SM-S926B)

-Galaxy S24 (SM-S921B)

How to capture the update.bin file link from samsung servers to share with other people (Very Easy! and takes less than a minute): No pc required!

Note: the update needs to be still downloading/not started downloading yet in the settings app, once it has finished downloading and IS ready to install, pulling the link is not possible anymore.

1. Download the HTTP canary app and install it: Link

2. Open the app, scroll all the way down and accept user license agreement, press configure then ok on the pop up on the following screen, then press skip on the top right, dismiss welcome message, you should get to a screen that says "tap the floating button to start capture".

3. Leave the app and go to settings and start the software update normally by pressing "download" on the update screen, don't pause it just yet.

4. Go back to canary app and start the capture process by pressing the little circle at the bottom right, if the CA certificate message pops up again dismiss it by pressing "not now", the button should turn green, there will be one or two options that have appeared, one of them is gonna be the link, it should start with something like this:

http://[B]http://fota-secure-dn.ospserver.net/firmware/EUX/SM-S928B/nspx/7beb7fb3524544[/B]

5. Long press on the link that was captured, it will get copied, and then paste it here in the thread. We'd really appreciate it!

Installation Method:

You can install the One UI 7 beta using the ADB-method (needs a pc):

1. On your pc, download SDK platform tools: https://developer.android.com/studio/releases/platform-tools

2. Extract the file in your desktop.

3. Inside the extracted folder, put the update.zip file of the update you wish to install.

4. Inside this folder, while holding left shift, make a right click with the mouse and select "open command prompt here" or "open windows powershell here", The command prompt/windows powershell will open.

5. On your phone, turn on USB Debugging in Developer options. (You get access to developer options by continously tapping the build number in settings->about phone->Software version)

6. Shutdown your phone and connect it to your pc with an original usb cable.

7. Using one of the two methods mentioned later, get the phone into recovery mode, if you wish to do the adb command method of going into recovery do not shutdown your phone in step 6.

8. In recovery mode on your phone, select "update via ADB". (you scroll up/down using the volume buttons and select using the power button).

9. In the command prompt/windows powershell on your PC run the following command: "./adb devices"

9. Wait to see a message saying that the daemon has started and that your device is found.

10. If you device is found, run the following command: "./adb sideload update.zip"

11. The update process will start, you will see a percentage counting up. First it will verify, then patch etc. Do not move the cable, disconnect the phone or power off the PC.

- Once the process is completed (it takes some time) the phone will boot itself, optimize applications and then you should be done!

There are two methods that you can use to get into recovery mode:

Method 1 "ADB Method"

:

1. Connect your phone to your PC (Make sure USB debugging is on).

2. Using ADB, enter the command ./adb reboot recovery

3. Wait a little while the phone reboots, and you should be in recovery mode.

Method 2

:

1. Power off your device

2. Connect your device to a PC or connect the AKG earphones.

3. Hold down Power+VolumeUp buttons and keep pressing them until you enter recovery mode.

Important Notes

:

- Upgrading to the beta will not trip knox or affect warranty in any way if done by the methods above.

- Make sure you download the correct update.zip file for your model. For ex. SM-S928N update file will not flash successfully with a SM-S928B phone. If the update is not out for your model or no one has pulled it yet, you don't have an option except to wait.

- Take note of the build you have to be on in order to update the file you're about to download successfully, these will usually be on the update.zip link itself in post #2, you can check the build you are currently on in: Settings -> About Phone-> Software information. The last 4 characters of the build number is what you are looking for. If you are on a different build than the one on the left part of link before the arrow sign, you won't be able to flash the file sucessfully.

- Rename the .bin file you get from the links to update.zip in order to be able to flash it from recovery correctly.

- A common mistake done by some people is that they see the file named update while its a WinRAR.zip file already, which in your pc sometimes may just say "update" and has a zip icon. A mistake some do is they then add another .zip making the name of the file registered in the system "update.zip.zip" which will not be flashed successfully when you just put in sideload update.zip as a command, it wont see the file you are telling it to flash, So make sure you do it right.

- Updating to the beta is AT YOUR RISK, No one is responsible if anything goes wrong. However, the chance of device bricking errors is very small. That being said, it is sometimes smart to let others update first and hear from them, especially in the earlier beta versions

- Don't install a beta unless you are fully aware what you are going into, Don't install the beta if you want your phone to be completely and absolutely stable, IT'S a BETA for a reason.

- It is recommended to make a backup of your data before updating to the Android 15 Beta. However, the update does not delete your data, it is just a precaution.

- You will not receive OTA updates again UNTIL you are on a stable software version that also gets released later for your original CSC, thats most likely not happening before the BETA is over.

- If the last update.zip posted here gets you to the stable version that comes out for EUX (lets say its BXJ2) and your original CSC skips that version and gets the update a little later with a newer build (lets say BXJA), you will also not be able to recieve OTA updates until you are on a version that actually comes out for your CSC. The fix is to wait a bit and then flash the next update that comes out for your CSC (in our case lets say a month later BXK2 comes out for your CSC, you will need to flash that version with odin, then you will recieve OTA updates normally again. Sometimes your csc could also get the same build as EUX (in our example BXJ2), so there would be no need for all of this, and you would recieve updates normally.

- Quick Note:

My S24 Ultra isn't on a CSC that has a beta program. So unfortunately, i will not be able to pull the update.zip files myself. But i will try my best to keep the thread updated with the latest beta update.zip file (If/when someone pulls it), I added more details in post #1 compared to my last beta threads that I have organized for previous samsung devices, i hope i left nothing unanswered.
