How To Guide [OneUI 4.0 Beta 1 & 2](EXYNOS) Update.zip for S21 / Plus / Ultra - Download OTA Link

[KokosTech]

So, now that we have OneUI 4.0 Beta 1 rolling out to countries (ofc only 7), it has come so far in Germany & Korea (as far as I know). So the rest of the world wants an update.zip link, so don't be selfish and please, if you have one, capture the .bin file and share it in this thread.

How to capture:
I:
Install HTTP Canary app: https://m.apkpure.com/httpcanary-—-http-sniffer-capture-analysis/com.guoshi.httpcanary
1. Load canary
2. Start the update download but don't pause it.
3. Go back to canary and start that and it will grab the link.

II:
Follow this: https://www.androidjungles.com/how-to-capture-ota-update-url-for-android/

If someone uploads it to the internet, you'll find the link/s in the second post in this thread.

[UPDATE] New link for the S21 Ultra (Exynos) - down on the second
[UPDATE2] You can watch a tutorial that I did back when OneUI 3.0 Beta was a thing on my S10 (the process is similar): YouTube

* This thread was made in order to centralise the update conversation / OTA links.

This is where I'll put the OTA /update.zip/ links for the S21 / S21P / S21U:

How To:
Rename [name].bin to [name].zip and paste it into the adb folder

Enable USB Debugging from the Developer Options
Reboot your phone
./adb start-server
Trust the computer
./adb reboot recovery
With vol-up and vol-down go to ADB Update and press the Side/Power button
./adb sideload update.zip

!!! Remove ./ if you're using Windows

!!! Obviously Google Pay and (possibly) other banking apps don't work

The app is not in Google play.

The app is not in Google play.

Thanks, I updated the link

If we side load the update via ADB can we still register in the UK on Samsung members and receive future beta OTA or not?

Yeah I did that last year and the year before

it's there but seems to be region locked

Well, I don't know, I don't have any experience with that, since I live in an unsupported region.

Sideloading through recovery: Using Android Debug Bridge (ADB)​

• Make sure you have the latest version of ADB installed.
• Rename the downloaded .bin package to update.zip.
• Now reboot to the recovery mode. Inside the stock recovery environment, you can scroll down using the volume buttons and select an entry using the Power button.
• Select apply update from ADB and connect the phone to the PC using a working USB cable.
• In the Command Prompt/Terminal window, run the following command:adb devices
• Wait to see that the daemon has started and that your device is found. Then run the following command:adb sideload PATH_TO_update.zip

You can just put the zip file in the same folder as the ADB then just do sideload update.zip

So, I added a how-to video (of OneUI 3.0 Beta on my S10 from "back-in-the-day") as well as the OTA link for the S21U. Don't forget to change .bin to .zip

Thank you for creating this thread @KokosTech !
I have one suggestion. Write which build can upgrade to which build. For example, like here.

I will be making a video guide on how to install via ADB as soon as possible and if I have your permission may I post it here?

yes and must important i think for all who try to update to beta one ui 4 must be on latest September patch example : for s21 ultra AUHD.

 

[BredzProh]

Thank you for this. I've done everything right I can think of but can't get it to install. Someone suggested renaming the file on pc but doesn't work. I get update.zip.zip

Do "cd C:\adb" and the "adb sideload update.zip"

Also, run CMD as admin if still doesn't work.

 

[gois74]

SD-card method ?

 

[carlitobahsoun]

SD-card method ?

nope , as s21 series no sd card man

 

[dr.ketan]

Thanks for update zip
Worked perfectly

 

[biden_trump]

i cannot get ADB to sideload as well.. Status 5 error on the phone. I wonder if Samsung blocked it or its my PC?

i gave admin right already.
