I'm waiting for the randomized MAC address for every wifi connections (things that iOs have for years) as it will help get free internet in plane (in case of limited time) and evade device fingerprinting.

Right now this is being tested on the DBT server for the S9+.
In the last couple of days there are frequently new Android 10 builds showing up. Same goes for the Korean model and the US unlocked model.

Plans are which I have from an insider source at Samsung that they are planning on releasing the stable version for the S9 in January 2020 which would be really fast for Samsung.
For the S10 and Note 10 series they want to rel EW as it in December.

My guess is we will see the S9 getting the beta around November maybe early November or so.

It's not officially stated if the S9 and S9+ or Note 9 will get a Beta program though. Would make sense as last year the S8 and Note 8 got in and even some A series phones. Maybe Samsung Discovered through last year thanks to good interest and input that with more beta programs for more devices they can fix bugs faster and release the sable version quicker.

Does that mean when the beta released, anyone can flash it?

Sadly, no. The last news about it was for Note 9, which we already know would get it. I'm secretly hoping we will get it before the end of this month.

I also received my sim card from the UK, and I'm sure on 99% I will be able to join in the beta but probably won't be able to share the zip. I talked with one of the mods here and he shared one way and I try to pull normal OTA and it didn't work out. So I guess it won't work also when the beta came out. I hope someone else is more skilled than me with those things and to share the zip file with others.

Good news!

Good news Galaxy Note 9 and Galaxy S9 owners: Samsung will soon be starting the Android 10 and One UI 2.0 beta program for its 2018 flagships. The company’s ‘beta operations manager’ on the Samsung Korea community website confirmed to a user that the Galaxy Note 9 beta program will kick off sometime later this week while the Galaxy S9 beta will arrive next week.

Yeah seems multiple sources are confirming that the S9/S9+ is getting it next week. But, I wonder if only Exynos builds are getting it... not sure
Has anyone confirmed what changed in the Note 9 BETA? Interested if they got any more camera improvements or features added.

I have a used, US Unlocked S9 with Verizon service.
I DLed the Samsung Members app in hopes of being able to get the One UI 2 Beta when available.
While I've been checking the app for the beta, I found that I cannot register my S9 with Samsung via the Members app, because it had already been registered. Likely by the original owner.
Also, the Members app reports that the warranty for this S9 expired in September.
Will any of these prevent me from receiving the Beta notification, when available?

    Hello everyone!


    I decided to make a thread, where we can discuss the upcoming update for our lovely device Galaxy S9+. Maybe it's too early for this discussion, or not? I hope the moderators don't mind... I'm very excited about the update and a little bit frustrated that we will not get the beta first. I may upgrade to Note 10+, but I'm not yet sure, because I love too much my S9+ - the design, the screen, feels like everything is perfect though. Only miss the wide-angle camera :p

    The beta program just started! Currently available in India, Korea, and the UK. Thanks to SamMobile we had the first build which you can find below.

    4.12.2019
    The second beta will be available next week, according to SamMobile.

    10.12.2019
    The second beta is out. You can find download links and changelog below.

    19.12.2019
    The third beta is out. You can find download links and changelog below, as usual. The changelog on this one is pretty short and everything looks very stable. I guess is safe to say we can expect very soon stable release.​
    6.01.2020
    Beta N 5 came out today. You can find links and changelog below, as usual.


    14.1.2020
    Beta N6 is out. Links below.

    28.01.2020


    Samsung has released the Android 10 update for the Galaxy S9 and Galaxy S9+. The update is rolling out in Germany at the moment for those who are on Android Pie. Yes, the final build of Android 10 is yet to be released for those who are on the One UI 2.0 beta, though that is probably going to change soon.

    From where to download the stock firmware



    I see people still asking from where to download it, since @sammobile[/user] need premium acc for faster download. There are a few alternatives that are very easy to use and I thought everyone Samsung fan knows them but it seems I was wrong. Gonna share them here.

    1. Updato.com
    This is for people who don't want to install any additional software. However, seems full of ads. If that doesn't bother you, use it.

    2. SamFirm 0.3.6
    It's deprecated but still working though.

    3. Frija
    This is the most updated with very nice interface. I would recommend it.


    Mirros to Google Drive with stock firmware:

    Notes, related to the beta builds:

    1. I think it was a mention somewhere but will write it here also. Both files are in .bin format. You need to rename them in update .zip so you can flash them through stock recovery.

    2. You can't flash it directly if you are rooted, need to be completely sock - this includes the stock recovery. Also, you should be on this firmware G965FXXU7CSK1/G965FOXM7CSJ5/G965FXXU7CSJ5/G965FXXU7CSK1. When new beta's come out you will need to flash them as the way they came out, like beta1->beta2 and etc.

    3. The USA and Korean builds are not compatible with the rest models. Be careful what you flash on your device. By the tip to remove them to not lead to confusion, I will separate them below in the spoiler. The authors of the files can feel free to make a new thread about the specific device.

    Notes, related to Android 10:

    • You can't install any more custom fonts on Android 10 unless you are rooted.
      Check the Galaxy store for your favorite font. If it's there you can buy it and use it.
    • Swift Installer, Substratum doesn't work anymore on S9/ S9+ like before.
      You need will the Synergy. However for me isn't working at all, so basically I can't use any substratum theme or mod. On the other hand Hex Installer works very well and I will recommend it.
    • Blocking ads with DNS still working.
    • Technically, there is no reason to not be able to receive OTA, after flashing stable DBT version with Odin. Just make sure you don't use CSC (use HOME_CSC instead) file to wipe everything and break something with your current CSC. I personally flashed CSC file by mistake, my CSC didn't change it but now I can't receive OTA. No big deal for me will flash it manually when there is a new update.
    • OTA files won't wipe anything. Some user reports that his phone is wiped after OTA, but this usually is impossible. A good idea is always to make a backup with Smart Switch before any procedure of this kind.
    • OTA files won't wipe anything. Some user reports that his phone is wiped after OTA, but this usually is impossible. A good idea is always to make a backup with Smart Switch before any procedure of this kind.
    • Yes, ROOT is possible on Android 10. Check THIS thread to see the steps for rooting.
