How To Guide Install One UI 5.0 (Android 13) beta on unsupported countries

[BredzProh]

Hello everyone!

One UI 5.0 beta is out, so I have put together this guide on installing it on your Galaxy device. I will show you how to sideload the beta even though the beta programme may not be available in your country or may be full.

❕️ If your device has an SD Card slot, check out the SD Card Method.

NOTE: When you sideload the beta, you will not receive OTA updates automatically. You must install the stable One UI 5.0 when it's released (or downgrade back to One UI 4.1) via Odin.

Omg.
Fixed the typo.

Does anyone have files for S21+?

 

[BredzProh]

Does anyone have files for S21+?

Exynos or Snapdragon?
I have not been able to find the S21+ Snapdragon variant yet. Either nobody is trying to catch the update file or it's not yet out for it.

As for Exynos, it's in the thread I've linked.

Thanks for the guide . Does it work for BRI SM-G 9980 ?

Thanks for the guide . Does it work for BRI SM-G 9980 ?

I just checked.
Unfortunately there's no update file for SM-G9980 online yet. It either hasn't been released or no one who got the update is capturing & sharing it.

Hey guys,

I'm trying to sideload via adb on G996B, from AUIE > ZUJ1 on non-supported beta country.
Everything goes fine until 47% on terminal, when starts verifying partitions:

...
Verify partitions...
Verified system image...
Verified vendor image...
Verified product image...
Verified odm image...
Unable to use metadata to correct errors
E2004: prism partition fails to recover
E:Error in /sideload/package.zip (status 1)

Install from ADB completed with status 503
Installation aborted


Then, I can only reboot system back to One UI 3.1.

Someone managed to install after this error?

 

[rainer_alvin]

I believe the common mistake is people updating from the October security patch. I was also getting an error at 47% until i downgrade to the September update before sideloading. Try that and remember to always backup your device.

My phone didn't receive September Security Patch:

Oh you're using an s21+? I do not think anyone has even captured the one ui 4 image for your device yet, i guess you'd just have to take your time and wait.

Yeah, but the main thread points to a link with G966B version of OneUI 4.

Oh yeah that's true. So does your baseband version end with "AUIE"?

 

[MatheusApolonio]

Yep.

 

[rainer_alvin]

Yep.

Then it should work, maybe you'd need to back up, factor reset, and then sideload if you want it that bad. But I'm not sure about it because I really don't see much about the s21+ on here. I was having that 47% error on my s21. Reset with "AUHD" (s21 exynos) and then the sideload worked after.

I'm trying to install the update following all the steps, but it won't work. Using powershell I type in adb devices and it recogizes the command. have put the update.zip in platform tools folder, I go to recovery and type in again adb devices and it says that the device is connected, then I type in adb sideload update.zip, and get this message "adb: failed to stat file update.zip. No such file or directory. Can someone help me get this setup, don't know what I'm doing wrong.
