I believe this only works if you have already registered for the beta program.
Ok, so, yesterday, my device finally allowed me to register for the One UI 3.0 beta, however, after 24 hours of checking for an update and never recieved it, I tried out of theory and curiosity, <---lol, and successfully forced the beta to show up. First, I can only verify that this process worked on SM-N981U1 Samsung Galaxy Note 20 5G US unlocked version. I don't take responsibility if it does not work on other models, as I am not the wealthiest, so, I'm unable to afford other models to test. Here's my process:
1. download Samsung USB drivers for your device.
2. download adb & fastboot tools.
3. download latest version of odin.
4. BACK UP BEFORE ANYTHING ELSE, IT MADE ME FACTORY RESET, SO, MAKE A BACKUP! *Make sure you know your username and password, because I got the "Unauthorized reset attempt" warning and kinda thought I accidentally FRP locked myself out, because, I'm new to this and I'm not always prepared. lol.*
5. head to the sammobile website.
and download the first firmware version from August, 2020. For mine, my CSC is XAA, Model: SM-N981U1.
6. Extract firmware into a folder you can keep track of.
7. In Odin, flash AP, BL, CP, CSC, and HOME.
8. When Odin finishes, it boots a couple times, then, it will make you factory reset, in order to start.
9. When it boots, it will go through the setup process. I personally skipped everything except samsung account, because, I was testing my theory and knew I might need to reset again in the near future. lol.
10. Once it's set up, download Samsung Members App and verify that device is still enrolled in One UI 3.0 Beta Program.
11. Check for software update.
12. download and install update.
13. Phone reboots, and can be set up.
Tip: Make sure you check software updates to see that you're on the latest.
Update: I've updated my note 20 two more times, since I posted. It's now on the December security patch.
Thank you for the tutorial.
Anyone tried?
I didn't try the above, but I just got the One UI 3 beta today. So far, so good. Bonus: WiFi calling seems to be enabled on my unlocked N20 Ultra:victory:

I tried to search this but the search function won't work for me.
My phone is brand new U.S. model with 1.6 installed.
I was connected to the web via my home wireless.
I can't watch videos on the web. Do I need to upgrade? If so, to what level?
Is there a setting I can change?
Also, there were popups galore. How do you select individual browser windows to close when this happens? I could only do all of them.
I think you need at least Android 2.1 to run flash. Try Skyfire for a browser, it will probably work a lot better than the stock browser on 1.6, but really you should be able to just download the US update to get to 2.2 which would be a lot better than what you have now.
The phone says it is up to date.
When I go to check for updates, the phone claims there are none. Do I have to cheat and risk the warranty to get updated?

from your phone to DL the update direct to your phone. If you tap on the notification for the DL after it completes it should install. If it does not
rename it update.pkg and put it in the root of your SD Card
Boot into recovery mode by powering off, then powering on while holding BOTH volume buttons
Select option 2 from the recovery menu to install the update
This will be the same as a factory reset and you will have to install your apps and set up your phone again.
That build is for unlocked Streaks. If you want to install the latest official build for your carrier you can probably get it from this page.
AT&T locked
Thank you very much.
So if I have a locked AT&T phone, I have three options, if I understand this correctly.
1) Leave it alone and live without Flash capability.
2) Update to whatever is on the last link.
3) Use the non-official update I've seen on this forum. Has the latest one (1.9 I think) been out long enough to be determined if it is stable?
Thanks again for the patience and help.
Okay, so the link on the Wiki page for a non-unlocked AT&T phone downloads a .mbn file. The other one was a .pkg and if I could use it, I would put it on my SD card. What do I do with the .mbn file to use it to update the Streak? I'm sure there is a thread for using that type of file, so if ysomebody could point me to it, I'll go from there. Preferably a thread that assumes minimal base knowledge level beyond generally using the phone.
I have downloaded the OTA Realme 2.0 update and installed it. The phone won't start after that. No bootloop but on the screen keeps flashing after booting successfully in the system. I tried wiping data in recovery but no help. I am willing to roll back but it won't let me take a backup which is why I landed here. I cannot access the file manager to paste the rollback update files or to take a backup.
I have the exact same issue. This problem generally applies to all Realme devices upgraded to Realme UI 2.0. The root cause is the disabling of com.coloros.weather.service package, usually done during debloating through adb. Further analysis I have done is explained on my thread.
Quick fixes you have now:
If you have adb enabled and ticked "Always allow from this computer" on the prompt below when your phone is still working, you can connect your phone in the blinking state and issue the following command: adb shell cmd pm enable com.coloros.weather.service. Then, reboot your phone. It will work normally on Realme UI 2.0.

[DATA LOSS] Download this ozip and put it on an SD card. A used SD card works fine as long as it isn't encrypted and has enough free space. Make sure the file name matches your device model. Enter realme UI Recovery (on Realme 7, you press VolumeDown + Power, which might differ for each device) and choose 'Install from Storage'. Enter your device password, select 'SD Card', and pick the ozip you have downloaded. The phone will wipe itself, and you end up with a working phone on Realme UI 1.0.
[DATA LOSS] If your phone is still on warranty period, go to any Realme Service Centre, and use the following statement; the service centre will either replace your phone free of charge or if they don't have any replacements in stock, put you on a waitlist and calls you back once the replacement device is available.
I am updating my device to Realme UI 2.0 when suddenly the device turns off and reboot itself. Now, this device won't allow me to unlock it.

Hey I'm new to this forum and Android Tablets in general. I have received a Vodafone Smart Tab 4G, which doesn't boot up. It's an old Tablet and it hasn't been used in a couple years. I want to see if I can make it boot up and test whether it's still usable for minor tasks. I thought I'd try to install an update using an SD card, but it's surprisingly impossible to find anything from an official source. The service menu does say "KTU84P release-keys" which seems to suggest that it has Android 4.4.4 installed.
What I've tried so far:
1: Go into the service menu and do a factory reset.
2. Try to find an update file to install through SD card method (to no avail)
3. Put some alleged stock roms onto an SD card and try to use the update function (fails on the verification step)
4. Installed ADB & Unsigned Mediatek Vcom Drivers on Windows 10. ADB has no connection to the Tablet.
5. Downloaded and tried SmartTab4G_Recovery_KK_benjaminwan to no avail. It gets stuck at "waiting for device".
6. Downloaded SP Flash tool, but failed to find a ROM for the Smart Tab 4G with a scatter file.
7. Out of desperation I tried to flash it with a Smart Tab 3G Rom which had a scatter file, but when I press download nothing happens.
My current understanding is that the standard service menu isn't meant to be used to flash the firmware. If I had an official update file I might have had some success, but I couldn't find one. All the other attempts involving a connection to my Windows 10 PC failed, which seems to indicate that I might be using bad drivers. I'm honestly at my wits' end and I don't understand why this is any more complicated than going to the manufacturers website, finding my device, downloading the most recent system software and flashing it through the service menu. Hope someone can help me out with this one.
Update: Tried a different computer. Partial success. Device manager actually recognized an Android device this time. I installed the usb driver and the recovery batch actually didn't get stuck on "waiting for device" this time. That's great news, although I didn't get much further. Here's what I got:

Thread can be closed. I got it after all with the help of the available information. Turns out the recovery.bat was a dead end. Not sure why it didn't work for me with the batch. I tried the approach explained here with cmd and it worked fine.
fastboot -i 0x1bbb oem unlock
fastboot -i 0x1bbb boot cwm.img
Once I was in the cwm everything went smoothly since verification was disabled and I could install a custom rom. This probably took me way longer than it should've, but at least it's working now.
My phone is the CPH2459. I purchased it with the July 5, 2022/2022-07-05 Android Version.
1. I enabled developer mode.
2. I had enabled oem bootloader unlock
3. I had enabled "Disable Updates at startup
4. I has disabled automatic play store updates.
Two days go by and the phone goes behind my back and installs an Android 11 update so now I'm on Android 11 September 9, 2022/2022-09-05 update.
The phone tried to mention that it wanted to start the next update to Android S or some nonsense but I decided to stop right there and factory reset it.
After the reset, I'm still stuck on Android 11 September 9, 2022/2022-09-05 update.
Now tonight I want to try and continue rooting this phone unless there is a way to rollback to original Android 11 July 5, 2022/2022-07-05 Android Version.
What would be my next steps. I have downloaded everything I've been suggested to a usb so I can keep working on this step by step. You guys are awesome for sharing this information. Thank you for what you do.
Absolutely! And thank you. Heading home now so Ill shoot you my info.
Once I get familiar with getting this to run on one os I should be able to save copies and then jump back and forth right? I always wonder if it will be like how samsung and other manufacturers sabotage attempts to downgrade and other such annoyances.
So I would go here?

Then I would download which one of these stock boot images?
Followed by which Firmware version?
Just want to make sure I'm on track. None of them say US version, so I'm assuming Global version?
I'd like to know if he ever backed up his rom...I could use a copy.
I see. May I send you a pm?
Long story short, I really want to experience Dynamic System Updates on my moto g power (2020, Sophia), but I want to make sure it's almost completely safe to do so and would like additional details.
So, my first question: Is it completely safe to install a DSU? This phone is my only phone and is my daily driver, so I want to be 100% sure my phone will not be bricked.
Additionally, should I choose to continue, which DSU do I install? There are four options:

"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Does it matter which one I pick? Will picking the wrong one put my device at risk? Have any of you successfully installed one?
Thanks,

Completely safe, this won't be installed over your actual firmware, it's just a kind of (non-permanent, but only for testing) dual-boot.
The 4 options are good for this device, S stands for Android 12, T is Android 13, and GMS is with Gapps (Google Mobile Services), anyway, a wrong election (in other scenario) will cause the installation failing.

Hmm... I just tried both the Android 12 and 13 options and neither worked, the phone just booted back into Android 11 as if nothing had happened (Although I still had the notification offering to discard the DSU or restart the phone). Interestingly, when the Motorola logo appeared while restarting, it disappeared and then reappeared, which doesn't typically happen. I'm no expert, but did the phone maybe try to boot into the DSU and then gave up?
Now all 6 DSUs (because they're Android 14 ones now) immediately result in an "Install failed" error when I try to install them.
Do I need an unlocked bootloader?
