Hello everyone! If you're looking for the One UI 6 beta thread, CLICK HERE!

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.

3. At File Explorer, go to View, then Show and enable "File name extensions".
4. Right click on the file and click on Rename.
5. Rename (including the file extension) the .bin file to "update.zip".
6. A warning may appear. Click on Yes.
7. Download, install ADB. Make sure to have "C:\Android\platform-tools" added to "Path" in System variables.
8. At your phone, go to Settings, About phone, Software information.
9. Tap repeatedly on the build number until Developer options are enabled.
10. Back to Settings, tap on Developer options at the bottom.
11. Scroll down and enable "USB debugging". Tap on OK.
12. Connect your phone to your PC.
13. You may enable the "Always allow from this computer" if it's your personal PC.
14. Tap on Allow.
15. Back to the PC, move the "update.zip" file to "C:\Android\platform-tools".
16. Right click on the Start Button.
17. Click on Windows Terminal (Admin) or PowerShell (Admin).
18. In the Terminal, type "adb devices" and execute it.
19. If you didn't enable "Always allow from this computer", the pop up will appear again on the phone. Tap on Allow.
20. Type "adb reboot recovery" and execute it.
21. Your phone will boot to Recovery Mode.
22. Navigating with the volume buttons and selecting with the power button, go to "Apply update from ADB" (if you want to force exit from this screen, hold down the Volume down and Power buttons).
23. Back to the PC, type "adb sideload update.zip" and execute it.
24. The installation process will start and One UI 5.0 will be installed. (If you get an error, you may have downloaded the wrong build, or your device doesn't support the beta programme at all. If you are sure that you have downloaded the right build, try again using different cables, USB ports or PCs.)
25. After the update process has finished, back to the PC, execute "adb reboot recovery" again.
26. Go to "Wipe cache partition" and select Yes.
27. Then select "Reboot system now".
28. Report any bugs to the Samsung Members app!

solo para la versión B??

 

[nayak.aj]

What are the repercussions of doing this ? Would it affect future updates ?

 

[Rapier]

Just note that the video was made for OneUI 4 not 5...but it is the same. Also some 4.0 referrence leftover in the text at step 24.

Installing now...

No it won't. You can keep flashing the beta updates as they come and as long as you're on the last one by the time stable version is available, you'll get the update.

@BredzProh - looks to.he Exynos specific ? If so, Could you please mention in the title to avoid mishaps and confusion ?

 

[BredzProh]

What are the repercussions of doing this ? Would it affect future updates ?

You will not get automatic updates unless you go back to One UI 4.1 or install One UI 5.0 stable in the future.
You must install every beta manually and step by step (Beta 1 to Beta 2 to 3, not Beta 1 to Beta 3, for example).

Updated Step 24. Thank you!

Hello!
It's Exynos-specific for now only.
I will constantly keep updating the description with the new links like I did last year.
So when Snapdragon is out, I will update the pinned comment and description.

Sorry for the confusion!

 

[GalaxyA51user]

Hello, can I extract the System to get the apks it has?

 

[irancosta]

Is it possible to flash via Alliance app? Thanks in advance.

Hi again! I updated the description with the Snapdragon links.

Yes

 

[kaustubh.rockstar]

Hi again! I updated the description with the Snapdragon links.

I don't see any snapdragon links?! Am I going blind?

 

[DaOldMan]

I don't see any snapdragon links?! Am I going blind?

We need to wait for India to get the Android 13 beta. They are the only ones on the list with the "E" model. For now, nothing yet - so you see quite well.
Also that xda thread is mainly for the USA snapdragon models as the OP doesn't know what the "E" models are.

@BredzProh

I installed the Beta with Alliance Shield as instructed elsewhere here in the forum. Fast, simple and without a pc, no root required, worked great. Maybe add it here as a guide? Greeting

I had found this:

[ENDED][OneUI 5 Beta] (Exynos) Galaxy S22/S22+/S22 Ultra Beta Thread

As there is currently no beta thread for the Exynos Version of the S22/S22+/S22U, I created this thread. You can post here the Update.zip Links and discuss about the beta. The Beta has started today in Germany, other markets should follow soon...

forum.xda-developers.com

First Post.

"
Locally with Alliance Shield (no PC needed):
0. Download the needed firmware and the Alliance Shield X app (PlayStore).
1. Open the Alliance Shield X App and complete setup (Account creation and Knox permissions)
