Hey everyone! I updated the structure of the first post.
Some threads didn't have a post with all the links, so I linked the specific replies for each beta.

So you can't update. You need ALL of them one by one, they are incremental updates. The error is exactly that - you are trying to SKIP a version and the updater finds it and writes that your version has incorrect date.
Sorry mate.

Someone has a Beta for N20U SM-N986B?

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.

Steps:

2. Go to where you downloaded the file.
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!

I hope this helps you! If you have any issues, please let me know and I will try to help you!

the link for beta 1 s908u (and more other links) doesn't work
is there anything you can do about it?

 

[DaOldMan]

would you have the links?

No. But the stable rom is almost here anyway.

 

[eduardosilvaedias]

Não. Mas a rom estável está quase aqui de qualquer maneira.

Mas a rom não está disponível, então não consigo atualizar

So, I updated from beta 3 or 4, don't remember, via Odin to the full version. After that I wiped the cache partition, twice, a day apart. But I'm still getting this air command glitch from the betas and it also didn't do the optimizing apps part it usually does after every update. Any suggestions? I guess it could be that the version is not the final one. The firmware is android 13 from samfw.com: SM-S908B_EUX_S908BXXU2BVJA_fac
