One UI 3.0 beta has been released for Galaxy A51 5G.
If you are part of the supported regions, you can grab the update link and share it here (for each update).
These are the steps I borrowed from @AhmedMomen 's S10 thread.
How to capture the update.zip file to share with other people:
1. Download HTTP canary app from Play Store.
2. Open HTTP Canary app.
3. Start the update by pressing "Download". Don't pause it!
4. Go back to Canary app and start it. It will grab the link for you.
5. Please share the link and your model number here!
As for how to sideload the update.zip file, I have explained it step-by-step here:
ADB Method:
1. Download and install adb.
2. Connect your phone to your PC.
3. Download the update file where you have installed adb Platform Tools.
4. Rename the file (including the extension) to "update.zip". Click "Yes" on the prompt.
5. Open your terminal of choice.
6. Type "adb reboot recovery" and press ENTER on your keyboard. Wait for your phone to reboot to recovery mode.
7. Navigating with the volume buttons and selecting with the power button, go to "Apply update via ADB".
8. Back to the terminal on your PC type "adb sideload update.zip". (NOTE: If it says that device is not connected, just remove and put the USB cable back until it works).
9. The update is being installed. It will be completed when the phone boots up. You may use your phone normally after.
10. Report any bugs on the Samsung Members app! https://www.samsung.com/global/galaxy/apps/samsung-members/
SD Card Method:
1. Search for an update file. You can usually find one in XDA Forums.
2. Check if you have the right build and open the right link.
3. Download the update file (.bin extension).
4. Move the update file to your SD Card. (NOTE: If you are getting errors, back up the stuff of your SD Card and format it from your Galaxy phone.)
5. Rename the .bin file (including the extension) to "update.zip". Click "Change" on the prompt.
6. Reboot to Recovery Mode, by connecting your phone to another device (such as your earphones) and holding the Volume Up + Power (+ Bixby) buttons.
7. Navigating with the volume buttons and selecting with the power button, go to "Apply update via SD Card".
8. Navigate to and select "update.zip".
9. The update will start installing. It will be completed when the phone boots up. You may use your phone normally after.
10. Report any bugs on the Samsung Members app! https://www.samsung.com/global/galaxy/apps/samsung-members/
You may also roll back to One UI 2.5 or update to stable One UI 3.0, when it's released with this method:
1. Download and extract both Frija and Odin.
2. Launch Frija.
3. Check the "Auto" button. Write your device's Model Number and CSC
(Your model number is at Settings, then About phone).
4. Click on "Check Update".
5. Click on "Download" and choose a folder to save the firmware.
6. After the download is complete, extract the firmware .zip.

10. Click the "CP" button and select the file that starts with "CP_...".
11. Click the "CSC" button and select the file that starts with "HOME_CSC_..." (Selecting CSC_... will wipe your data!).
12. Turn off your phone.
13. Boot into Download Mode by holding both Volume Up + Volume Down buttons and then connecting it to your PC.
14. After booting into Download Mode, press the Volume Up button to continue.
15. Back to Odin, click "Start".
16. The flashing process will be over when "PASS" is shown in Odin and your phone reboots. You may close Odin and disconnect the phone from your PC then.
17. Congrats! You have successfully flashed the latest update to your device.
18. After your phone is on, turn it off again.
19. Boot into Recovery Mode by connecting to your PC and holding Volume Up + Power Button (+ Bixby Button).

That's funny because it works for me! Are you sure you put in SGH-I717 in ALL CAPS?
Here's another method.
Download this file http://www.mediafire.com/download/g7gn29h7nu63id5/I717UCMD3_I717ATTMD3_ATT.zip
Extract (unzip) the firmware file
Download Odin v3.09
Extract Odin zip-file
Open Odin v3.09
Reboot phone in Download Mode (press and hold Home + Power + Volume Down buttons)
Connect phone and wait until you get a blue sign in Odin
Add the firmware file to AP / PDA
Make sure re-partition is NOT ticked
Click the start button, sit back and wait a few minutes

Sorry you're having trouble. I've never came across someone with a loop at optimization before. Maybe you can try to re download the file and repeat the process again. You might have a corrupt download.

Thanks for your answer. Yep, I have seen this site. I even left a comment there that instruction contains a broken link. You can use your mouse wheel (if using desktop) or swipe down (if using smartphone) to scroll down to see comments there. They fixed the issue, but they still have instructions that does not work. I apologize for mistrusting your link, but I am afraid to follow the incorrect instructions on this site. Since people say that this can lead to the fact that the phone stops working at all. No offense.

c) In firmware archive we must find file with prefix "AP_".

No wiping during process
I already backed up everything but I don't want to wipe my storage. Losing data by accident is one thing but when it is part of the process I just can't do it.
So how do I root my a11 samsung galaxy without losing data and obviously bricking the device?
Feel free to email me.
I also don't have access to a pc currently but may buy one in the coming weeks.
---------- Post added at 05:22 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:19 AM ----------
Bootloader wipes the storage for some reason. How do I prevent this and still root my device?
The thought of a wiped drive/phone almost triggers a panic attack even if everything that I want is backed up.
@Ulrika8
You don't need to unlock phone's boot-loader etc.pp in order to root its Android. Look inside here.

Actually that won't work for me because I have android 10. Samsung Galaxy a11. Also how can I upload a screenshot of my device information?
Is there a number I can call for technical support in regards to rooting. I am in California USA.

Also had the same question. Did you manage to root yours? NB: On Android 11
A11 on Android 11. Have tried every method online and for the life of me can not root my A11 without getting boot loops nor can I successfully flash TWRP..
Any tips...
Hello everyone.
Small Intro:
So, I bought Note 10 [Exynos] N970F. I wanted to use custom rom on it. I tried both Dr. Ketan's ROM and 420 Rom. Both of these roms were surely amazing and Dr. Ketan's rooting guide really helped in rooting and all things. Such a kind person to help for new comer.
As there are only these two roms at the moment and AOSP roms are either not available or very old with incomplete guide to flash. So after trying many different ways for flashing Generic System image (GSI) for my device. After series of failures, bootloops as I surely found some method to actually install GSI on N970F
Tested GSI
Havoc 3.8
Descendants
CrDroid v222 200816
Type of GSI to Use for our device:
ARM64-AB (As known as ARM64-bvN)
What's working:
Sim/IRC
Calls
Data/4g
Bluetooth
Wifi
Camera
Storage
Sensors
NFC/Location/Hotspot
Bugs:
MTP/USB connection not working
FingerPrint not working with Descendants Rom
(Can't confirm any further bugs. If you found please report so I can update thread)
Don't do anything without reading 4th Post (Disclaimer)
Your phone's internal storage will be wiped, deleting all of your data so make a backup
Prep:
1: Download firmware for your phone (Extract firmware and copy AP file to phone)
Either Use Frija or This website (Make account here, connect to GDrive and you can download from google server or IDM. Fast, Resume)
2: Download TWRP for your phone (It is better to have TWRP based on same base as is your phone's firmware download)
See here for TWRP (Usually has updated twrp) or see telegram of developer
(Extract twrp zip to have recovery.img. If it has different name, save it as "recovery.img", We will call it twrp-recovery.
3: Download Magisk Manager, install on phone
4: Patch AP file you copied to phone with Magisk Manager (Run magisk manager, --Install --> Select & Patch file --> Select AP)
A new file "Magisk-Patched.tar" will be saved in download folder. Copy it to PC. We will call it Patched-AP.
5: Open Patched-AP with 7-Zip. You should see files in it. (There should be a recovery.img in it) Now drag & drop twrp-recovery to 7-Zip window open Patched-AP. Wait for process, as it will replace stock recovery with twrp recovery. We now have an AP file with magisk & TWRP pre-patched.
Now we will use this updated Patched-AP
6: Download Latest Multi-disable from here
7: Download your desired GSI. Havoc GSI, CrDroid GSI, Descendants,Others
(Download ARM64-AB or ARM64-bVN) If you want Google apps it is better to download GSI with built-in GAPSS.
Steps to Follow:
(Enable USB Debugging on your phone, Turn on OEM Unlock option in developers option)
1: First Unlock Bootloader of your device (Boot to download mode-- Power off, Volume up + volume down and connect to pc)
2: Follow on-screen instructions to unlock bootloader (While in download mode -- long press volume up for unlock area, volume up to unlock)
Info: Now phone will do wipe and you should be back into system. Now due to some Samsung restriction, you must enable USB debugging again & see OEM unlock check if greyed out (untouchable). (You must do it as system gives download mode a signal to prevent issue with custom files flashing)
3: Boot to download mode, Press volume up. Connect to PC.
4: Run Odin, Select files, AP as Patched-UP we created, CSC as Home-CSC, CP and bootloader that your extracted.
(Uncheck auto-reboot in odin)
5: Start Flashing, wait for it to pass. Now we will boot to recovery from here
6: To boot into recovery, first we should exit download mode then boot to recovery during that process.
First Hold volume down + Power --> wait for screen to go black--> as soon as screen goes black--> leave all buttons --> now press Volume UP + Power --> Keep pressing until you boot into TWRP recovery.
7: Now Swipe to allow modifications --> Wipe --> Format Data --> type "yes" --> swipe. Wait for Wipe.
8: Now Click reboot --> Reboot to Recovery. Wait for Phone to boot back into TWRP recovery.
9: Again Swipe to allow modification. Connect to PC & Copy the Multi-Disable to phone.
10: Install Multi-Disabler --> Install --> Select Multi-Disable --> Swipe to flash. Wait for it. Reboot again to recovery.
11: Copy your downloaded GSI img to Phone. Select Wipe and do a factory reset.
12: Install GSI --> Install --> Select IMG --> Click on GSI image --> Select System partition to flash. It takes few seconds.
13: Now Reboot to System.
Phone Should be booted into new GSI installed

my sister is very grateful
Thank you very much.
What build date has this rom? Sec. patches?
Can you please post your local manifest?
Very interesting guide, unfortunately the links don't work...
Is it possible to restore them?
Tanks. Max
I think its first guide how to do it because every other guides were for TB2-X30F but not for TB2-X30L.
I have only found lineage os for x30l, can someone please link lineage (Android 7) for x30f?
The difference between L and F is that L is the sim card variant. Ive read several people getting "insert sim card" when installing L on a F tablet. So I dont want messages like this.
Thanks for this tutorial. It was possible, to upgrade this old Tablet.
Do you know, if there is anything newer version for our Lenovo?

I have followed the instructions and successfully installed LiOS14. Then, however, I have factory reset the tablet via Settings. Now it always boots to TWRP, no matter what I have tried I could not installed back the LiOS14 I only have TWRP right now.

The tablet can also run on LineageOS 16 which is Android 9.
As I saw that the guys in the Russian 4PDA-Forum had been able to create a LiOS16, I was able to make some adjustments and compile a ROM with most recent security patches which now runs on my good old TB2-X30L / TAB2 A10-30:

it seems that google drives are off. Can someone re-upload please?
Hallo,
I have installed LiOS14-UNOFFICIAL-TB2-X30L.zip. The installation was without problems.
But I am having problem with WiFi - problem of MAC 02:00:00:00:00:00. I have tried a lots of tips but nothig worked. Two times I was succesfull to set some MAC, but always, after while, it was gone. No able to reproduce to set.
Is it really so difficult to set somehow the MAC addres for the WiFi?
As I understand the setting of the MAC differs between different releases of OS. Does anybody know how it work in this release? It should by known where this relaese expects the MAC setting. Am I right?
1. temporary succes: Setting MAC in system/etc/firmware/wlan/qca_cld/wlan_mac.bin (I think. Its longer time ago and there was more attempts). It lasted for few months. It is not mine device so I don't know how it was handled.
2. temporary succes: I copied system/etc/firmware/wlan dir to system/vendor/firmware/wlan. I did it based on how it is in Samsung Galaxy S4 mini with Lineage 16. It worked. After restart I had to swith off and on the airplane mode to set MAC. After few attempts it was gone. No able to reproduce to set the MAC.
I am not Linux expert

Thank you very much, install your rom on my TB2-X30F and it goes very well, the only drawback that I present is that the wifi is very slow but the rom is excellent, thank you very much for your work.
